Turn Of The Screw - Britten DVD

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: age restriction

...Series 8 of Friends was about nothing but Rachel not really, "The One with the Rumour" reveals the "We Hate Rachel" club that's been around some time: Ross started it in High School with a certain Mr Jennifer Aniston (an uncredited Brad Pitt). In a welcome change of focus, "The One with Monica's Boots" has Monica and Chandler arguing over finances while Phoebe and Ross argue over the attentions of Sting's wife Trudie Styler (cameoing as herself). Next in "The One with Ross' Step Forward" his girlfriend from Monica and Chandler's wedding turns out to want more from him than he'd planned. And getting back to Rachel, her hormones find her bouncing all over looking for a partner. "The One Where Joey Dates Rachel" is her surprise resolution. This is another exceptional turn behind the camera for Schwimmer, who relegates his on-screen time... Read review

Advantages: Quality acting, photography and understated soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Not enough development of the street sellers scene.

...If you want a brainless all-action movie, go rent a Wesley Snipes release. If it's quality entertainment you're after, filmed in a challenging style, saddle up and check this out.

Michael Douglas turns in a masterful performance as the newly appointed public face of the US anti-drugs lobby, attempting to work through problems of hard drug use in his own family. This is matched by Catherine Zeta-Jones as the wife of a premier player in the US drugs trade. Of special interest is the relationship between two Mexican DEA agents, introduced in a crucial scene at the beginning of the film, and the differing ways... Read review

Advantages: Herman Monster
Disadvantages: The wife of the family was annoying

.... It turns out if you bury a dead creature here it will come back to life. But not the same as before it will be evil and mailicious. As the cat turns out to be. Then one day father creed's son is hit by a lorry. Herman warns against burying a human in the graveyard and tells of the consequences of the last time it happened. Will Creed do it? SO at first I thought this was going to be some crappy old horror film that wasn't scarey but fun to watch. However, this was quite a good horror film. The flashback scenes were particularly scarey especially those of the wifes dead sister who had some weird disease, leaving her mangled and pretty screwed up looking. The character performances were pretty good. I liked Herman Monster, because he was Herman Monster. The little boy also put up a great performance. I was particularly impressed by the special...
