...in order to be with her. 4 - Not with my Pig, you don't: Phil's parents come to stay, and they have many stories to share with Will from his past about Phil and his pet pig. 5 - Homeboy, Sweet homeboy: Will's friend 'ice tray' back home from philly comes to visit, but at the same time falls in love with Hiliary. 6 - Mistaken Identity: One of my favourites in the box set, Carlton is asked to drive one of Phil's co'workers car (mercedes) to palm springs, but they come across some misfortune when the police think they have stole it.

...24 is my favourite show of all time, although I must admit that I jumped onto the bandwagon a little late – by watching the entire show in a 2 week period thanks to BBC Choice's repeats before the second season aired last year. When I saw the Season One box set in the shops, I realised that I had to have it. ~*~ WHAT IS 24? 24 is one of the most original, entertaining, gripping shows on television. The entire season of 24 episodes takes place over one day – from 12am to 12am the next day – with each episode unfolding in real time, one hour each. The show follows government agent Jack Bauer – who works for CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit), as well as his family and co-workers. When he is called into work at 12am one morning, he doesn't realise that this is about to be the longest, most dramatic day of his life… This box-set contains all... Read review

Advantages: Moving tale
Disadvantages: None

...Directed by Michael Cimino. The Deer Hunter has gained somewhat cult status since its release in 1978. It told the story of some factory workers from the USA who were drafted in to the army to serve in Vietnam. The story starts in the sleepy town, and shows them all going off deer hunting in the mountains. It shows how they get torn apart in the war...having to play russian roulette with each other and so on. It's a wonderful film, but disturbing in its realism. Stars Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep... Read review

Advantages: great action and special effects .. lots of extras
Disadvantages: could have been a better ending

...Its sort of "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" meets "Close Encounter Of The Third Kind" and is a brilliant action/suspense/special effects effort from James "I-love-water-movies-let's-make'Titanic'" Cameron. The DVD release gives you the original version seen in cinemas and the longer special uncut edition that makes better sense of the story by making more of the sub-plots. There is plenty of conflict and tension in this film to keep you on the edge of your seat with some nice special effects thrown in. Basic Plot: A nuclear submarine sinks after encountering unknown technology assumed to be Russian and a rescue attempt is mounted by a team of oil-workers/divers based on an experimental submarine drilling rig aided (?) by a group of Navy Seals. There are no survivors in the sub and tension between the USA and Russia reaches... Read review

...too much comedys these days have just no storyline or sense of real life drama. this is why peep show is so good as it shows the lives of two wierd friends as they go over their quite ordinary lives. this is the funniest thing iv seen sinse the office and if you like that you will definatly like this. the two main charectors in this comedy are jez and mark, (mitchell and webb). and they play the parts of a office worker whos quite sensible and a sex driven dj, how did these guys ever become best mates? peep show is somthing you can just watch over and over again and i never tire of the comedy and great acting of these guys. if youve never experianced the great that is peep show then i would strongly advise it, also mitchell and webb have some other great dvds out and have also recently released a film called the magician which i found...
