Alfred Hitchcock Presents… Season One This box set includes 6 discs from the first Season, which aired in 1955. Watching every single episode in this box set will take up 16 hours of time. I remember Alfred Hitchcock presents from the remakes in the 80s. When I spotted this box set I decided to buy it as the 1950's originals held more appeal for me. These episodes are classics and in my opinion better than the remakes. Each episode is introduced ...
...that you will recognise including Alfred Hitchcock's daughter. The acting is very good. The episodes are in black and white but I think this works better. It's a classic. The box set does not contain any extras, just literally the 6 discs and the titles of the episode behind the front cover. Still, it's worth the money and definitely worth buying. Looking forward to Season Two being released soon. Just for your information, here are the list of ...

Review of Alfred Hitchcock Presents - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

One of the best films of 2008

Advantages: Exciting, Thrilling
Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of any.

Liam Neeson plays a secret service type of guy, well a former secret service. . It reminded of The Bourne Indentity with a similar type of fighting role. The fight scenes are very well choreographed and the storyline doesn't lose its pace. Ok the storyline, Brian Mills's ( Liam Neeson) daughter is kidnapped by Albanians. She was on holiday with her friend in France touring U2's Europe tour. These Albanians traffic young women addict them to drugs ...

Review of Taken (DVD)

I have been Taken by surprise.

Advantages: Good acting, great storyline!
Disadvantages: None,

We watched this film with my mum, dad and husband when they had it recorded on Sky Plus and nothing was on tv (once again it was a Wednesday night and it was just football which was on!!!!). As I have said before when writing reviews on these types of films, I've never been a big fan of films with guns and gangsters, they bore me most of the time, but this Thriller is actually quite good! Details *Directed By- Pierre Morel *Release Date- ...
...minutes *Starring- Liam Neeson Maggie Grace Plot When ex CIA agent Bryan's 17 year old daughter Kim wants to go to Paris with her best friend from school, her dad is apprehensive, whilst her laid back mum (and Bryans ex wife), is fine with it, pressuring him into signing the papers to allow her out of the country.

Review of Taken (DVD)

It's a riddle all right

Advantages: Derek Jacobi
Disadvantages: Daft story, badly told

...dead, apparently killed. When Mike, the journalist, hears her message, he is intrigued, and eventually finds the manuscript. He teams up with Kate, a police press officer and a tramp to find out what happened to Sadie and along the way, he also becomes intrigued by a murder described in Dicken's manuscript. It soon becomes clear that if he solves Dicken's murder, then he will be a lot further forward in solving Sadie's. However, there are people ...
...he ever find the answers he is searching for? Directed by Brendan Foley, this film is rather individual because it became the first feature film to be distributed on DVD by a national newspaper - The Daily Mail. The Daily Mail bought the rights to the film and gave it away as a freebie to people who bought the newspaper. Many will think this automatically makes the film a dud - free DVDs with newspapers are usually either very old or very bad. And ...
