Advantages: Great product - rock bottom price Disadvantages: It's HD DVD
LONG LIVE HDDVD!!!
Like alot of people out there I wanted to enter into the world of high def. movies but found myself asking 'is it worth it'.
I found my question answered by a visit to my local gamestation where I stubmled across an XBox 360 add-on drive for £25.00 with 2 films!
The unit provides great picture and sound when watching back movies and with films now available from £2.99 (hmv.co.uk - a few examples: American Gangster-£2.99, The Kingdom-£2.99, The Thing-£2.99.........go have a look for yourself!) this is the investment that has to be made by anyone who is wanting to 'dabble' in an HD upgrade.
All this and you only have to stick in the supplied disc, give it 25 seconds to run/save and you're good to go.
Also as well as performing as a HD player this unit will also act as an upscaler for standard DVD ...
Advantages: Popular characters Disadvantages: None

Jan Pienkowski was born in Warsaw in 1936 and eventually came to England just after WW2.
Jan has illustrated for a number of authors and was a pioneer of the modern pop-up books for children.
He has collaborated with Helen Nicoll on all of the Meg and Mog books and has his own website at www.janpienkowski.com
In true Meg and Mog fashion, Jan uses very rich, vibrant colours as backgrounds which really appeal to children. There are more white backgrounds in this book than others in the same series due to the 'setting' of the story, let's face it what other colour could you choose to depict snow?!
Another appealing aspect ...

DVD Description
Antonio Bay, a quaint, small seaside town is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. That night a heavy, mysterious fog rolls through the town and people begin to die in savage ways. Rumours of a secret as old as the town begin to surface and the people of Antonio Bay realise they are victims of long dead sailors who have come to take revenge for their own murders at the hands of the town's founding fathers. The townspeople can only wait for the fog to roll in and pray that they are not the next to die. Carpenter creates a chilling film with fine performances from Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, and the fog itself, which creeps and crawls around as if it were alive. The film elicits scares out of what is not seen rather than what is, and Carpenter exploits that style perfectly. One of Carpenter's earlier films which helped to establish his reputation as a master filmmaker.
