Hogfather (2-Disc Edition) [2006]

starring: Michelle Dockery, Tim Plester, Craig Conway, Rachel Edward (II), Marnix Van Den Broeke
directed by: Vadim Jean

Release Date April 23, 2007
I absolutely love anything and everything pertaining to discworld; I have 2 characters on the Discworld online game, one of which is a newbie helper. I've listened to every single one of the discworld books at least twice, and preordered the Colour of Magic DVD the very second I possibly could. With all that being said, I simply had to get my hands on this movie as soon as I heard it existed. Fortunately, I have a region free DVD player, so I ended up purchasing this region 2 2 disc edition of Hogfather. I can't say enough about how much I love
this movie. It remains extremely faithful to the book; in a lot of cases, dialogue is word for word out of the book, something which, at least in my humble opinion, is all to rare in book to movie ... Read More:

Hot Fuzz [2007]

starring: Anne Reid, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Edward Woodward, Paddy Considine
directed by: Edgar Wright

Release Date December 17, 2007
The idea of a film about a British policeman in a small country village is more likely to conjure up thoughts of Midsomer Murders rather than Bad Boys II. However Edgar Wright manages to fuse together the fast paced action of one with the typical Englishness of the other in the excellent comedy Hot Fuzz written by and starring Simon Pegg. It is a hysterically funny police comedy with lots of action and spoof horror.

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the Met's number one police officer, but he is so efficient that his co-workers want to get rid of him. He is promoted to sergeant and moved to the small town of Sandford in Gloucestershire. When he gets there he is disappointed by the lack of crime in the village, and he is bewildered that the ...

Frost / Nixon - The Watergate Interview (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk)

starring: David Frost; Richard Nixon

Release Date November 13, 2006
I have seen many excepts of this interview over the years and have long wanted to watch it in its entirety. It basically captures the historic moment when, during a TV interview, Nixon finally apologises for the entire Watergate scandal. He is visibly shaken, emotional and completely unable to counter the expert questioning from a young Sir David Frost.

As a historical document - this is great stuff. It should be required viewing for any student of american history. The Watergate scandal basically opened the floodgates for large scale media intrusion into the lives of politicians. It also led to the very first resignation by a US president.

I would also recommend that media students watch this programme. Sir David Frost has always ... Read More:

The Ring [2003]

starring: Naomi Watts, Martin Henderson, Brian Cox, David Dorfman, Jane Alexander
directed by: Gore Verbinski

Release Date October 10, 2005
Another botched job by Hollywood failures. It seems the creativity well has become so dry that film makers are ever increasingly snapping up classic movies from other cultures and failing miserably to comprehend what made them successful the first time around.

Cinematic Arse Gravy of the worst kind.

Uprising [2001] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Leelee Sobieski, Hank Azaria, David Schwimmer, Jon Voight, Donald Sutherland
directed by: Jon Avnet

Release Date December 18, 2001
A well-acted film based on historical fact, well worth watching. The later Warsaw uprising by Poles in 1944, went on for longer (at least 63 days), but still the brave fighting spirit of the Ghetto Uprising is to be saluted.

Billy Graham: God's Ambassador [2006]

starring: David Frost, Billy Graham
directed by: Michael Merriman

Release Date April 04, 2006
Whether or not you believe in God, this DVD provides a very thought provoking view of one of America's most famous preachers and a master of the spoken word. Although it has a bias towards the man, you can see why as Billy Graham has been the confidante of every single US president since Truman and has had a profound and enduring impact on American, if not World affairs.

The DVD starts off with the usual selection of 'best of' moments. Although David Frost makes the point that no other man could pack as many stadiums as Billy Graham, one does get the impression that he is just another Southern preacher who talks the talk but probably doesn't walk the walk.

As the DVD begins going through his life it starts to turn interesting. His rise, for its time, was meteoric ... Read More:
