Vietnam Battle Hell (DVD)

Advantages: Amazingly funny
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons - Classics - Heaven and Hell is yet another of the 'classics' series of Simpsons DVD's. There are four episodes included here, each having something to do with heaven and the other place. They are "Bart Sells His Soul", "In Marge We Trust", "Treehouse Of Horror IV" and "Homer The Heretic". In "Bart Sells His Soul", Bart sells his soul to Milhouse for 5 dollars after proclaiming they don't exist. He soon regrets the sale though, as his dog is very edgy towards him, automatic doors don't open for him anymore and Marge feel like he is missing something.

The teacher charcter is... Read review

...Drag Me to Hell Reasons Why I Watched This Film? IMDb.com has an overall rating of 8.2/10 for this film. Empire Magazine gave this film 4 star out of 5. Every review I read said this was the best horror to be on the big screen since Saw. Justin Long is hot. My Experience With reasons like that, I was really looking forward to watching this film, ‘The Best Horror since Saw’, I am not too good with horrors but considering the other choice was Star Trek which I am not planning to watch at the cinema, let alone on DVD, we decided to watch this film. We sat down and the first 20/30 minutes of the film seemed to be really good, it had good suspense moments, the old woman Mrs Ganush did make us hide behind our hands when she started taking out her teeth and stuff, but then comes the cursing scene and then...
