The Official Story Of The British Army DVD

Advantages: Fills in the gaps in Star Wars history
Disadvantages: Not for the non fan

...Star Wars. Every book, comic, short story, game and even cartoon. He likes to keep continuity. You can't just make up a story and stick it in his world. You couldn't kill off a major character like Han Solo without his say so......or so the official story goes. I mean Chewbacca, everyone's favourite wookie WAS killed off in a recent Star Wars novel and there is the classic case of the Droids Cartoon of the 1980's. To my mind as a SW fan, in recent years it has been great to have the continuity of knowing that the SW universe does work like a soap opera. Familiar names, faces and places all tied together with continuity. And that is why the Clone Wars cartoons are SO GOOD. Unlike their 80's counterpart, these cartoons are as good as the movies and books. Infact they are just as important in the overall storytelling of the SW universe itself... Read review

Advantages: Some good, insightful moments and 'forgotten' matches
Disadvantages: Almost the same as the autobiography, lacking depth in some places

...the 'Boyhood Dream' and 'From The Vault' collections, what excited me most about the 'Shawn Michaels Story: Heartbreak & Triumph' set was due to the fact that it wouldn't be purely matches featured on the disks, or even simply interviews and commentaries by himself. Instead, in many ways, this 2007 DVD release would be a series of interviews and opinions from Shawn's peers and critics that would act as an extension to his autobiography from 2006, chronicling the life and times of a wrestler who had worked in many companies before his illustrious WWE run, including the now defunct World Class Championship Wrestling and the American Wrestling Association. WHY DID YOU BUY IT, I HEAR YOU CRY? Well, to put it simply, Shawn is my favourite wrestler of all time. I've loved and respected his work since I was six years old, in fact, the first ever...

Advantages: Good value, good quality all around
Disadvantages: May be a little hard to understand for a first time anime viewer

.... Kenshin and his group (Kaoru, Sanosuke and Yahiko) take a holiday. They go to see the sights of Yokohama and Kenshin even manages to meet an old swordsman from the revolution, Shigure, they become friends after discovering that they have a lot in common. But with Kenshin this can only mean one thing. That hes going to have to fight him. During the British Ambassadors visit to Japan Shigure has planned an attack on him with the aid of a corrupt army official, even though their attack fails the rebels manage to escape to a nearby castle. In order to minimise bloodshed Kenshin is sent to dual Shigure. As I have said this is a very high quality movie, the animation is excellent, the Music is also excellent and even the English dub is good. Frankly a good English dub is worth buying the set for if you ask me. Having said this the quality... Read review
