The Time Of Your Life - 1967 DVD

Advantages: The best Disney since The Jungle Book
Disadvantages: none

...Although I still believe that the best of the older Disney animations are warmer and greater films than todays mainly computer generated films - this was an exception to that. I found the creators had managed to inject warmth into the characters and storyline - producing the best Disney since Jungle Book back in 1967. I saw this on the stunning DVD version and if you're going to get a DVD player - book this one out to show it off! Its unbelievable. A Bugs Life was entertaining, funny and beautifully directed. The animation has a warm glow, and the voice overs are perfection. A modern gem for any age viewer.... Read review

...The Shawshank Redemption is a great film, and I would rate it as one of the best films I have ever seen. It's a gritty, dark (almost black & white) film set in a run-down prison. There's bad language, some strong violence, but beyond that is a film that will live in your mind forever. How many films have given people the power to change their life for the better? How many films have given such a strong message across that it has helped people get through hard times? Well? I can think of one - The Shawshank Redemption. DVD Extra's? Included with this limited edition DVD are some great extra's including some fabulous interviews with the director and the cast. All these add to an already superb film to create a must have DVD. Buy it now and add this masterpiece to your collection.... Read review
