Advantages: finally the story is complete Disadvantages: thats all folks
...i was infected by starwars at the tender impressionable age of 9 when a new hope hit the big screens and have been hooked ever since, try as i might i still cant believe that there will be no more of this wonderfull story told, the only downside i can offer with my rose tinted glasses on the movie is that it is predictable, which obviously was they only way the story could be told, after all the ending is obvious to anybody that has seen episodes 4, 5 and 6, yet sir george still managed to tell the story with great effect the special effects are mind blowing at times and the twists and turns like i say are transparent but brilliantly told, the extras disk is superb aswell with deleted scenes and behind the scenes stories giving an insight into the amount of work needed to create this masterpiece
as pointed out in my hast i forgot...

Advantages: EXCELLENT... GETS YOU IN THE MOOD FOR HEADBANGIN' Disadvantages: NONE THAT I CAN THINK OF.. SORRY!
...This live DVD of Rammstein from Berlin, 1998 is truly amazing!!!!
If you're a Rammstein film, this is a must have!
As soon as you put it on it goes straight into the show which is kind of good as you are straight into the film and dont have to mess around with the controls... so just sit back and relax to the heavy metalness!!!!!!!!!
The order of the songs go in the following order:
1. Spiel Mit Mir
2. Herzeleid
3. Bestrafe Mich
4. Weisses Fleisch
5. Sehnsucht
6. Asche Zu Asche
7. Wilder Wein
8. Klavier
9. Heirate Mich
10. Du Riechst So Gut
11. Du Hast
12. Engel
13. Rammstein
14. Tier
15. Laichezeit
16. Wollit Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen?
17. Seemann
However there is a little extra which is selecting the camera view you wish to see on three of the songs. The options are:
-Vocals
-Bass and Keys
-Guitars
-Drums
-Wide
-Director's cut...

Advantages: history gets a makeover Disadvantages: none
...of graphical representation to bring the facts to life. To illustrate what the presenters are saying, they have a map case that when opened springs to life to show the movements of armies across the land or battlefield and the graphics are spot on. Graphics of this type are not a new idea in such a program, but whilst the likes of "Time Commanders" remains a computer game manipulated to make its point, here the visuals are much more convincing.
A 2000 years span is covered by the series starting with Boudicca's revolt against the Roman occupation, The Battle of Hastings, Owen Glendowers bid for an independent Wales in the early fifteenth century and The Spanish Armada. The more modern battles of Naseby, Boyne and Culloden cover the complex political machinations of England, Ireland and Scotland and the series is brought bang up to date...
