Young Black Stallion/Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken DVD

Advantages: Good plot line that is suitable for adults and children
Disadvantages: ...

...This is a very moving tale of a wild mustang fighting for his freedom in the 'wild west'. A really good piece of animation from Dreamworks. The best part is that there is no animals talking, instead the animal characters are defined and developed through the use of actual animal actions. The horses act like horses, the eagle like an eagle etc. This is a great film to watch with the family, good for both young children and adults as the storyline is captivating and emotional. The characters are funny, and the soundtrack is amazing. It is educational as it involves the plight of the Native American against the colonisers from the east. Overall a very good animation movie, and a must-own DVD. Five star rating from myself.... Read review

Advantages: The best boxing films of all time!
Disadvantages: Rocky 5 could have been better...

The heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), visits Philadelphia and wants to arrange a fight between himself and a nobody, so that they can become a somebody. Looking through a book of amateurs he comes across... Read review

Advantages: You get to see just how good a musician Paul Weller is.
Disadvantages: None

...Not only is Paul a mod hero, but he is also one of the best musicians currently around. As shown in the dvd he can play many instruments and make all of them sound like his own. His past being in Mod music with the Jam, on the dvd you can still see that he is a mod at heart. The way he dresses for one thing, and the haircut just says it all !! This dvd is a recording of one of his concerts containing all of his best songs such as "Peakcock Suit", "Wild Wood", and "Sweet Pea my Sweet Pea". (Full tracklisting at the bottom of the page) The dvds have a full length concert showing Paul and his backing band playing through many of his songs. There are interviews, promo videos. It is well worth the money. There are over 4 hours of footage contained on the dvds. Disc 1: Live Wood (dir. By Pedro Romanyi): 1. Bull Rush 2. Magic Bus 3. Hung... Read review
