Mr Benn - The Complete Series

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Mr Benn, Ray Brooks
directed by: David McKee

Release Date October 10, 2005
I bought this DVD for my young son when he was two years old, with a degree of nostalgia in mind. I would not have anticipated quite what a hit it has been. The gentle, moral tales have captivated him to an amazing degree. We must have been watching these for a year now and he doesn't tire of them at all. The animation of the pictures is very simple but effective, the music is just wonderful. Unlike some other DVDs I've bought (Trumpton, Clangers) this one has lasted the test of time wonderfully - my only complaint is that the new Gladiator tale jars slightly image wise and leaves utterly unexplained how Mr Benn is supposed to know Basher in the first place!!

Family Guy Season 5

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
by: Seth MacFarlane
starring: Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Seth Green

Release Date October 30, 2006
Family Guy created by Seth MacFarlane is an animated television show which is based in the fictional town of Quahog. The show follows the Griffin family comprising of Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie and their dog Brian. Not to forget a whole host of neighbours that live along side them on Spooner Street.

I was very eager to watch the fifth season of Family Guy after the brilliant forth season (of which I've still to review, but I never seem to review anything in order these days.) But unfortunately I feel that this is the weakest link of the Family Guy Saga. They say things get better with age but perhaps this is Family Guys midlife crisis, where the episodes are simply not at their best. The comedy formula is a difficult one to get right, ...

Cloverfield [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Michael Stahl-david, Lizzy Caplan, Mike Vogel, Odette Yustman, Jessica Lucas
directed by: Matt Reeves

Release Date June 09, 2008
imho, it's the things that other people hated about this film that made me love it:

the acting was believable. i think that i would make a whimpering noise if i suddenly found myself on the ground with a huge monster standing above me.

the dialogue was believable. in real life people generally don't soliloquy like shakespeare, or describe ever innermost emotion, or philosophise or have great one-liners every minute - they usually just talk rubbish, like they do in this film.

the script was believable. it was what you could reasonably expect to happen if a half-kilometer high monster invaded new york.

there IS humour in the film, if you aren't po-faced.

the direction was tight. it moved forward. ... Read More:

Gossip Girl - Season 1 [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Kristen Bell

Release Date August 18, 2008

Hi there, I'm old enough to remember Beverly Hills 90210,(to whom GG has been compared) and for me, it has never been such a fuzz...and by the way to tell the truth,I've never been too anxious to watch the whole series! However in years I've enjoyed many US series from an an euro perspective (cause I'm italian): Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill for the american idea of the posse of the good old friends, and the updated kind of "coming-to-an age" stories like...

But even most, the shows based on a prevoius strong idea, usually sprung from a book, that in my opinion gives to it that "something" more to help it to become special: in this list for example there are Roswell, and especially Sex and the City! I think Gossip Girl is a sort of spin-off ... Read More:

Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Seth Green
directed by: Dominic Polcino

Release Date January 21, 2008
After finally convincing my brother to watch an episode of Family Guy, infuriatingly it turned out to be this one. It's really not up to the standard I've come to expect of the series' writers, it was pretty lame, really, obviously written by Star Wars fans for Star Wars fans. Now he refuses to watch it at all and thinks I'm daft for liking it. Crud.

Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition) [1990]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Ralph Bellamy, Hector Elizondo, Larry Miller
directed by: Garry Marshall

Release Date September 12, 2005
For anyone who hasn't inhabited Earth and missed this one then it comes highly recommended as one of the best fantasy Romantic Comedy drama's with a fantastic soundtrack ranging from Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" from the title and Roxette's classic "It must have been Love"...Richard Gere plays an ultra wealthy business property tycoon Edward Lewis obsessed with the kill but lonely enough to employ the services of an apprentice hooker in Vivian Ward played by Julia Roberts only to find that love can be sought in the strangest places....Welcome to Hollywood and what's your dream...well Vivian wanted all or nothing whilst Edward just wanted a short hire and fire with no strings......what followed was one of the most chemistry based modern romantic comedy drama's of today..it's ...

The Diving Bell And The Butterfly [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Mathieu Amalric, Lopez Garmendia, Emma De Caunes, Jean-Philippe Watkins, Nicolas Le Riche
directed by: Julian Schnabel

Release Date June 09, 2008
painful to watch because it uncompromisingly puts you in the head ( literally ) of the central character who can no longer talk and can hardly move - he can still look at women's breasts, which probably makes it even worse! When you realise that it's all true, and that he actually did get a book out by only blinking, it is heartwrenching. You just know it is going to end badly, unless you regard the book's publication as a vindication of the human spirit - I suppose it is , it's just that I didn't feel good about that.

Supernatural - Complete Season 1-3

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Katie Cassidy, Lauren Cohan, Michael Massee
directed by: Charles Beeson, Kim Manners, Philip J. Sgriccia, Cliff Bole, J. Miller Tobin

Release Date August 25, 2008
I love my TV shows, I'm a big fan of PRISON BREAK, 24, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, SMALLVILLE, MY NAME IS EARL, LOST.

I'm always on the lookout for a new show, and I downloaded all three seasons of Supernatural after reading good things on it on IMDB. What happened though was I watched the first three episodes and straight away I loved it. I searched it up on Amazon and I couldn't believe the price. £28 for all three seasons! So I ordered it straight away.

I was a little apprehensive though at first has I thought all three seasons were going to come in one big box, and I like my TV shows to have individual boxes for each season, so I was really happy when it arrived and the main case was a slip case with individual cases for each season. There very smart cases as well.
