The Private Life Of Plants (DVD)

Private Benjamin

Advantages: A bit of humour?
Disadvantages: a bit of humour?

the 1980's I remember enjoying it? but when I happened upon it recently I had to wonder why?.? It is quite a good movie with some fine humour, although not the best movie of its time? The story line is your standard 'woman takes control of her life' type movie with some rather predictable results, including the standard captain who hates all new recruits and shouts a lot?especially at Hawn?giving the movie some of its best humour as the pair bicker?. Goldie Hawn plays her part as the slightly dippy and very spoiled woman who has to adopt to the real world as her pampered upbringing abruptly ends?allowing her to become more 'street wise' as she progresses through her time in the Army Not the greatest of movies but still worth a viewing if it is ever on the television, although I doubt feel it is worth adding to a DVD collection ...

Saving Private Ryan

Advantages: Moving story, great scenes
Disadvantages: Bloody

Saving Private Ryan "In the last great invasion, of the last Great War, the greatest danger for eight men?..was saving one." This film starts with a bang, literally, on the beaches of World War 2's historic D-Day invasion, a very intense and moving scene. If you are at all squeamish this is not really a film for you as, the beginning in particular and actually much of the rest of film is brutal and bloody and features blood, guts and missing limbs, however it is so good and so powerful you should look past all the gore to experience this wonderful movie. This 1998 film is described as a poignant and powerful homage to the soldiers of WW2. Like I said it starts on the beaches depicting the D-Day landings. If you are not familiar with the D-Day landings they are described as the first operations of the Allied Powers' invasion ...

Private Practice

Advantages: Good character dynamic, interesting cases
Disadvantages: None

For fans of Grey?s Anatomy this is a must for you. Private Practice is an American drama show shown in England on Living TV on Thursday nights. It?s a spin off from the very popular medical drama Grey?s Anatomy. It is now in its second season. The show revolves around Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery. If you watch Grey?s Anatomy you will know that she is the ex-wife of Derek Shepherd who worked at Seattle Grace hospital with him and Meredith for a time. She is one of the top neonatal surgeons in the country and when she is offered a job by her old friend Naomi she moves out to California to begin working at a health clinic in Santa Monica. The show thus follows her move to the clinic and the new environment she finds herself in. When this show first started I have to admit that I didn?t really love it. I love the energy of Grey ...
