Wall Of Silence DVD

Advantages: still a great film, presentation, extras
Disadvantages: misses the criterion commentary

...of these scenes are a bit shoddy in print quality with a lot of scratches etc but they are worth seeing. The out-takes reel consissts of only a few goofs but is worth it just to see Hopkins doing an impression of Rocky dressed in his Lecter attire. The stills gallery features photos of cast, crew and production and is divided into various sections. Each section of stills is accompanied by music score from the film. Finally we have the trailers and Tv Spots for Lambs as well as the US trailer for Hannibal. The wait has been worth it for Silence of the Lambs. It's still a great film that a lot of other other films have tried to live up to ever since. Along with the excellent forthcoming Hannibal dvd you can now invite an olf friend for dinner and have a chilling night in. Goody Goody.... Read review

Yet I found myself as open-mouthed and amused as my 4 year old son sitting next to me.

Advantages: pixar, animation, 3d, story, theme
Disadvantages: long, may be a little too adult for some of the youngsters

...Please note, I am reviewing the film here, I don't own the product or know the features on the DVD, yet I always buy based on the films overall quality. Pixar usually provide animated shorts and a whle host of storyboards and extras which will really open it up further, but my text and score here is for the theatrical release at this time. WALL-E, the little scrap collecting droid, part if a huge Earth clean up program to rid the planet of all the waste and rubbish that the human race has spread across the globe. WALL-E is the last of his kind, certainly in the immediate region, and spends everyday compacting rubbish into easy to manage cubes which he stacks to huge skyscaper heights. His only friend is a cockroach which follows him around helping him find new and exciting things to add to his own personal collection of scrap... Read review
