...First of all, I must say, if you are considering buying Napoleon Dynamite on DVD, DO IT!!!!
Right, with that out the way, I will explain why this film is one of the best I've ever watched :-D I was born in 1984, so I can suprisingly still remember some of the great '80s, and this film is so backwards, it really does bring you back to that time!! But here's the thing: the film is set in our time!!!!
So the characters: First up, you have Napoleon. The creation of Napoleon is a masterpiece, as he appears, at first, to be your average, picked-on, pathetic geek, but then you realise there's definitly something 'different' to him. Most of the time he's in his own world, for example, when in class, he draws creatures that don't even EXIST (e.g. a LIGER, combination of a tiger and a Lion....). Now you say, "Ah but mate, Ligers DO exist...

...Soccer AM is a Saturday morning show on Sky sports one every Saturday and it helps cover the English football leagues from the week before and what games are going to be played for the following week. It also has other features like about 3 different guests will come onto the show e.g. one could be an injured footballer, one could be a celebrity and another could be a few band members for a music group. Not only do they have guests and football highlights they also have 8 fans in from a certain football team and some of the crew members have their own part of the show like Tube's question. No this is a big hit on TV soothe first DVD, Soccer AM 1, was quite good so this DVD had good expectations.
In Soccer AM 2 it is different to the normal show as they like to focus on a certain idea that do just another show but on a DVD so...

...Being a DVD virgin you will have to be kind to me and put up with me lack of knowledge on what to write in a review of a DVD. Well the way I see it I love the film and have recently acquired the DVD, from a friend, and so thought what the hey, I mean I have nothing better to do with my Saturday afternoon (well i did so really add Sunday night to that too).
The Matrix was one of the biggest films in its year of release, and rightly so, this is a fantastic film that has both style and substance. It is superb and personally I cannot knock it. Many people took the feeling that this was just special effects, wrong the story is so intricate and complicated you cannot watch it only once. This is one of those films that revels something new every time you see it and never fails to entertain.
So here goes, the confessions of a virgin...
