Spooks - Series One

Advantages: Amazing programe with great special effects and awesome actors.
Disadvantages: hard too navigate special features etc on the dvd

This box set is amazing. Got it for christmas and ended up watching 6hours worth of it on christmas day. Thats how addictive and awesome it is. At first the way that the DVD is set out it can be abit confusing too work out where to find everything but once that is worked out it is easy to use. The dvd is great as it includes lots of extras such as interviews with just about everyone involved in the making of the film (Actors,Director,Producers,Editors,Writers ...

Review of Spooks - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Smoke and Mirrors

Advantages: Brilliant character development
Disadvantages: Won't suit everyone's taste

Spooks is one of those programmes that I just adore. Unfortunately however I can't say that I jumped on the Spooks bandwagon from the very start. To be perfectly honest though the reason for this was the fact that I was only 12 when the first series originally aired and therefore it just wasn't part of my viewing although my dad was watching it. I personally caught on during series 3 and then decided that the best thing for me to do would be to get ...
...the day-to-day operations of the Spooks is Tom Quinn played by Matthew McFadden. Despite his somewhat complex relationship issues Tom is more than dedicated to his job. He is respected and loved by his work colleagues but sometimes expects them to do more than can really be asked of them. Next in line Danny Hunter who is played by David Ovelowo. After going through a tough patch in the first series Danny seems to have sorted out most of his difficulties. ...

Review of Spooks - Series 2 - Complete (DVD)

Silence of the lambs

Advantages: great story, good acting
Disadvantages: bit gorey, emtional issues

...because it is exciting and silence of the lambs is always exciting. I really enjoyed watching this way back when because it has an original storyline and excellent character portrayal from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The silence of the lambs focuses on Jodie Foster's character inteviewing Dr Hannibal Lector about Buffalo Bill, a man that is kidnapping and skinning women to make a skin suit for himself. He is clearly very deranged and odd and ...
...to people. It is not like the others which focus on Hannibal and his feasting on other people but the plot and story is still very disturbing and sickening yet I think that is what makes it so good because it disturbs us and keeps us watching. The director has thrown in many hooks to keep us so engrossed after all that is why we enjoy horror films. For me this is one of the most disturbing films, especially in the Hannibal Lector series because it ...

Review of Silence Of The Lambs (DVD)

Mother, Mother! Blood, Blood!

Advantages: A seemless epic of murderous proportions.
Disadvantages: A lack of content on three discs

...one! But all the original Psycho movies, starring Anthony Perkins. I always get a bit mad when people call a DVD with more than one disc a box set. Yes it's in a box but hardly a box set! This set has nothing out of the ordinary or exceptional about its inner contents, so to call it a box set is an insult. Right that's my moan out of the way, lets get on with the show. Psycho ----------- Marion Crane has been having an affair with shop worker ...
...shot in black and white Psycho is one of the best known horror movies, and it launched the term "Slasher" when referring to a movie of this type. During the film you are constantly told that it's very hot, 1960 was not a hot year in America. However for the movies Director Alfred Hitchcock (A Brit) it was, all his films prior to Psycho had been filmed in the winter. 1960 actually goes on record as being one of the coolest summers of the 60's in America. ...

Review of Psycho Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

A twist in the tale...

Advantages: Episodes right length and not too long, interesting stories
Disadvantages: Some episodes can be disappointing compared to others

Tales of the Unexpected are a series of stories that have been adapted to be show on television. The stories are very different to each other but the one thing that they have in common is that they all tend to have an unexpected twist. Most of the time, these are very hard to guess. Tales of the Unexpected ran from 1979 to 1988. There were 9 series. The one that I am reviewing is the complete first series. I have just started to collect these as ...
...I came across them I remembered how much I used to like watching them years ago. I wasn't born when the first series was released but can remember my mum watching these in later years and that is how I started to get into them. I enjoy short stories with a twist (as you will also see from my Alfred Hitchcock Presents review) and have been enjoying watching these. This series comes in a two disc set. Six episodes are on the first disc and three episodes ...
