Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set
AWESOME
The Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set is brilliant ... not only does it contain the DVD 'The Battle Begins' but it also comes with two fantastic Transformers Animated Figures !!!
'The Battle Begins' is a DVD that introduces the new Transformers Animated series ... a sort of 'Pilot Episode' that sets the scene for the ultimate battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons and the quest for the elusive All Spark !!! It is a great DVD for Transformers fans of all ages and an ideal episode to introduce younger fans to the animated series.
However, it is the two Transormers Figures themselves that make this set extra special because they are, infact ,the two greatest Transformers of all time - Optimus Prime and Megatron !!!

Advantages: Stunning commentary on a dystopic future Disadvantages: Too dark and controversial for some audiences
note: also appears on my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, and Dooyoo!
Battle Royale, the adaptation of Koshun Takami's fabulous novel of the same name, is near enough controversy at 24 frames per second, unleashing a downbeat, counter-culture, subversive tone from its matter-of-fact opening, to its twist-filled end.

Much comparison has been drawn to Kubrick's cerebral masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, in how both films accompany ...
Advantages: Crazy Japanese violence Disadvantages: Repeated love motif
The setting is a dystopian Japan. The kids are boycotting schools and showing alot of disrespect passes the Battle Royale Act. What is the Battle Royale Act I hear you say. Well isn't it obvious? What would you do with rebelling teenagers? Put them on an island and tell them to kill each other of course.
The action centres around Nanahara - a school boy who everyone seems to love - and his attempt to escape bthis blood fest and protect his girlfriend Noriko. The idea is that the kids go off on the island and kill each other only one is allowed off the island after three days as long as everyone else is dead. Anyone who tries to escape has their head blown off by an irremovable necklace.
This film doesn't take itself seriously, as you can probably tell, it's an entertaining story with plenty of violence. The teacher charcter is ...
