...of the storyline away, but I'll speak a little about my own feelings on The Prince Of Tides. I watched this film on the recommendation of a friend, and I was a little apprehensive because my friend's and my own tastes in films, music etc. doesn't always coincide, but when she told me this was about delving into the history of a deeply dysfunctional family, I decided to give it a watch - at the time I was going through some counselling myself, dealing with a few of my own childhood issues, and I thought it may be something I could perhaps identify with.

... Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set AWESOME The Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set is brilliant ... not only does it contain the DVD 'The Battle Begins' but it also comes with two fantastic Transformers Animated Figures !!!

Advantages: fighting content from start to finish
Disadvantages: short film of 33mins

It was directed by the Korean-American animator Peter Chung, and features Vin Diesel performing the voice of Richard B. Riddick. A nice join up story and tells you what happens straight after Pitch Black and before The Chronicles of Riddick and explained why he had the Bounty hunters after him but only a little bit short this dvd for 33 mins in total,it has extras and bonus to it thats makes it better. it contains a decent amount of fighting actually so is no bad,from fighting mercentary soldiers to vicious creatures from start to finish. Dark Fury" is violent and dark, not for younger viewers who probably should not have been exposed to the films anyway... Read review
