Not to be missed
Review of Charlie's Angels DVD by  deftone

Advantages: unpretentious
Disadvantages: plot

...I bought this dvd with the aim of having a look to the beautiful Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore silhouettes, no expecting any acting quality out of them,but I must admit I was completely wrong. This is a movie that makes u think twice if you reckon that girls are unable to look after themselves. Cameron Diaz is at her best, one of the funniest role she has ever played. As per the soundtrack it is stunning and it matches very well the action scenes as well as in the witty and unusual ones, and at least the super heroes are women, not men. In the end I recommend anyone not to miss this dvd which comes with nice bonus material and biographies. Girl power.... Read review

Brilliant Portrayal
Review of Amadeus DVD by  jonwhite

Advantages: superb musical score, 8 academy awards, well acted
Disadvantages: None

...I loved this film. It is a gripping drama about the life and works of Mozart. If you are a Mozart fan then you will love this film. It is a great celebration of the talented composers music. Set in 1781 it follows the life of the composor from childhood to his death. A memorable soundtrack accompanies the film throughout and the acting quality is superb Released in 1984 this film won eight academy awards including best picture, best actor and best director and it is easy to see how. Rated as a PG this is one film not to be missed. The DVD release is a little thin on 'extras' but it does have a Music-Only option so you can enjoy the compositions of this great man without the need to watch the film.... Read review

National Security Review
Review of National Security (Wide Screen) by  6719jason

Advantages: Great laugh
Disadvantages: None

...National Security is a bundle of laughs a not to be missed dvd. The dvd has special features like the cut out scenes and outakes. It is great value for money and will have you in laughing fits. Among all the police chases, fighting, comedy and there is 1 wannabe cop and one ex cop (thanks to the wannabe). Your kids will love the insane stunts and comedy. For ten pound you cannot really go wrong. There is a scene in the dvd where earl and hank are being chased through a car impound lot by the cops and they decide to take a shortcut over some scrap cars. There is not much i can really say apart from it is worth buying or renting as it is a hoot.... Read review

DVD Description

Director Ron Howard, who impressed audiences with BACKDRAFT (1991) and A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001), has outdone himself with THE MISSING, a wrenching family drama that unfolds in the midst of a classic 1880s Western. This extraordinarily beautiful film offers astounding panoramic photography and inspired performances that enrich a truly hair-raising journey. As ever, Cate Blanchett brings intense realism to the role of Maggie Gilkeson, a New Mexico cattle rancher who dabbles in the healing arts. Her long-estranged father Samuel Jones (Tommy Lee Jones) is mistaken for an Indian when he inexplicably shows up on her property hoping for reconciliation; he abandoned his family years earlier to adopt a Native American identity. An embittered Maggie sends him away, but capitulates when her eldest daughter Lilly (Evan Rachel Wood) is kidnapped by a band of psychotic Apache killers. When the local sheriff and the U.S. Army balk at chasing the perpetrators, a desperate Maggie turns to her father, praying he is sufficiently savvy in tribal ways to save her daughter.
Blanchett and Jones clearly own this movie, and are both superb. Wunderkind child actor Jenna Boyd is spectacular as Maggie's youngest daughter, Dot. Also noteworthy are a brief but poignant cameo by Val Kilmer as an apathetic Army general and a skin-crawling appearance by Eric Schweig as Chidin, the outlaw leader.

The Ultimate DVD
Review of The Matrix DVD by  Jamberu

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...It has to be said that the Matrix is the ultimate region 2 DVD around at the moment it you view it from a quality POV. The visuals in this film are excellent with no dirty pictures or gritty effect that you can sometimes get DVD’s. The special effects are stunning in this film and used to complement the story. I would argue that if you missed it in the cinema this is the best format to view the film on as it gives the best picture definition. The extra features are not incredible but are enough for example the white rabbit feature is entertaining, where you can view how scenes in the film were made by clicking on the rabbit that appears as you watch. All in all this is the best DVD in my collection.... Read review

Volkerball = Wunderbar!
Review of Rammstein - Volkerball ((+CD)) by  ScarredShadow

Advantages: Looks and sounds great
Disadvantages: none

...Volkerball is a must-have for Rammstein fans and metal fans alike. This live DVD and CD is exceptionally good, with Rammstein serving us with SEVERAL awesome live performances. The CD sounds almost like a studio CD, just with a hell of a lot more atmosphere. The DVD is exceptionally well made, the footage is the same quality as any Hollywood blockbuster out there. The performances themselves are highly entertaining. Head-mounted flamethrowers, giant cauldrons....who couldn't resist this DVD? The CD and DVD also comes with a small photo booklet, which is rather nice to look at while listening to the CD, it adds very nicely to the atmosphere. Overall, Volkerball is too good to miss, and as the band get older and older, this could be their best DVD ever, you wouldn't want to miss out.... Read review
