The Time Of Your Life - 1976 DVD

Advantages: Sound and picture quality is fantastic
Disadvantages: Limited special features

...for the first time, you seem to forget that the film is almost 30 years old. The sound and quality of the film is still there, infact, it is an improvement of how it use to be in 1976! One plus point has to be the english subtitles, so if you struggle with your hindi, then this is the way forward. However, one thing I have to say is that the subtitles do not do justice to the translated language. The emotions and feeling are missing from the subtitles and make the film seem corny. In regards to the special features included, the exclusive interview which Karan Johar (upcoming Director, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum) takes of Yash Johar is purely splendid. However, let me point out that this is mainly the only special feature you will get with the film, which is a bit of a let down. Overall a great film and a must have... Read review

...Rocky I is the tale of an amateur boxer living in Philadelphia at the time the movie was written in 1976. The main character Rocky is played by Sylvestone in what was his first major movie part that set his career off to be a very successful life. Rocky is not a film about sports but about hope and having the will to carry on against all the odds- a million to one shot.

The fighter gets lucky later in the film after the world champion who is fighting in Philadelphia chooses to fight the Itallion Stallion as a novely because his ranked opponent has been injured. Apollo Creed never forsees the threat Rocky Balboa imposes, which makes Rock even more desperate to become... Read review

...Starring: Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, Milla Jovovich Director: Richard Linklater Released: 1993 Set in the last "daze" of school in 1976, this film perfectly captures the spirit and fashions of the time. Actually supposed to be over the last 24hrs of the last day of term before summer, the film plods merrily along, just like a hot summer day in Texas where it is set. Drinking beer and smoking pot feature large. As do the 'paddles' that the freshmen are initiated with! This film is Wayne's World or Bill and Ted for real. These are true 'slackers' (The title of Linklater's first film). The film like the slackers that make up its cast of characters float through the narrative. For what its worth! There seems little point to the story, more a slice of life than a structured narrative here. But well done all the same. Reminicent... Read review
