Inspector Morse - The Complete Collection [1987]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: John Thaw, Kevin Whately

Release Date September 01, 2008
Morse is one of those classic series that never seems to date and had a fantastic cast. Chief Inspector Morse played by the now late but brilliant John Thaw previously known as tough cop Reagan on the Sweeney. And Kevin Whatley as long suffering Lewis who nine times out of ten solves the crime before Morse. Then there is James Grout who played the gruff Chief Superindentant Strange who also suffers Morse's moods. This series has a feel like no other crime drama set in sleepy Oxford with Morse driving his classic Mk2 Jaguar. He also mulls over a Murder in a Pub ,over a Pint of ale with Lewis dragged along. The guest cast is also well planned and played though the 33 feature length episodes. They are very slow moving and nothing like the glitzy ... Read More:

Robin Hood [1973]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman

Release Date May 07, 2007
when asked what my favourite film is ill invariably say disneys Robin hood and the blank looks on the questioners face normally is just a comon occurance that until they have seen the film they dont understand why its so good!

Children and adults alike will love this film, ok the graphics are dated but for 1973 they are very good, the story is jolly, heart warming and a great take on an old fable.

The characters are all animals which makes a change, they are all voiced amazingly and fitting to the animal in every way! The film isnt long but with small children thats ok and the music gets stuck in your head for a good day after seeing it!

Its a definate classic for families and for the disney lover this is ... Read More:

Spooks : Complete BBC Series 5 [2007] [2002]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Peter Firth, Rupert Penry-Jones, Raza Jaffrey
directed by: Omar Madha;Julian Simpson;Andy Hay

Release Date September 10, 2007
You can try to compare Spooks to US series like 24 but for me Spooks is on a whole different level to 24. After a few short series 24 is starting to go stale with the same kind of plots being played out season after season. The explosions get bigger but the bottom line is still the same. Spooks on the other hand seems to go from strength to strength with every passing season. Yes there are only 10 episodes per season but that gives you some idea of the amount of thought that goes into every episode. I think the reason Spooks gets stronger with every episode is because it doesn't rely on the explosions and gun-battles that 24 does to make an impact. Spooks relies on it's storyline, some fantastic acting and so much realism that you actually finish ... Read More:

Love Actually [2003]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Rowan Atkinson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney
directed by: Richard Curtis

Release Date March 19, 2004
Although it doesn't quite work, it's definitely worth watching. Some great performances. Could have cut a few of the stories out completely though. Should have focused on Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. The rest weren't really worth it although the Laura Linney storyline was moving. I cried a little and laughed a little, and I guess it kept me more engaged than most films I see.
Actually, the absolute best thing about this film is Lynden David Hall singing at the wedding at the beginning. He died a couple of years ago and it was a shock - but a beautiful one - to see him in the film, I had no idea! Beautiful man with a beautiful voice. RIP.

There Will Be Blood (Single Disc Edition) [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Ciaran Hinds, Kevin J. O'Connor, Dillon Freasier, Paul Dano
directed by: Paul Thomas Anderson

Release Date July 07, 2008
As the credits rolled I was left feeling emotionally bruised and wondering how could I feel sympathy for such a monstrous character.
This is a character study in the mould of Raging Bull, featuring an equally compelling central performance and inspired cinematography.
Even with an above average running time, I never felt the film dragged and the end was immense. It will surely become am iconic scene.
Casual movie-goers need not apply though, this was made for people who view movies as a visceral thrill not as a way to pass the time.

One Tree Hill - Series 4

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Paul Johansson, Sophia Bush, Moira Kelly, James Lafferty, Chad Michael Murray

Release Date April 07, 2008
This is my favourite season of One Tree Hill for many reasons;
1. So many events critical to the storyline of the programme happen in this series.
2. A few new characters are introduced, and we get to know the existing ones even better.
3. This show is amazing!
I really loved watching this series on DVD, and would definitely recommend it. There are six discs of episodes plus deleted scenes on every disc.
The storyline for this series is extremely good; it kept me guessing and some parts definitely surprised me, but in a good way.
I have been watching the fifth series of One Tree Hill on E4 for about 2months now, and though series 4 is still my favourite, I think that the fifth one will turn out to be great, too.

The X Files - The Complete Collector's Edition

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
by: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Robert Patrick
starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Robert Patrick, Annabeth Gish, Mitch Pileggi

Release Date November 19, 2007
After watching the second X files film (which was a bit disappointing) I felt very nostalgic for the series which had spawned it. Only £65 or so on amazon, so that's about 30p per episode, plus you get the first feature film. Most people must know what the show is about, right? An x file is a case which has been deemed to be unsolvable by the FBI, usually because it has some sort of paranormal explanation which no normal agent will think about. Agent Fox Mulder set about investigating the X Files and became an expert in the paranormal, after coming to believe he witnessed his little sister being abducted by aliens. His partner is Dana Scully, who is assigned to work with him to use her scientific and medical background. Each episode usually starts off with a weird ... Read More:

My 2 year old adores this film and will watch it every day if allowed!! She mimiks the penguins walking (Hilarious!) and even sings along to a lot of the songs. Even though I've watched it with her hundreds of times I haven't tired of it. It is truly a great movie.

Harry Hill - Live [2005]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Harry Hill

Release Date November 21, 2005
I'm a BIG Harry Hill fan and this is one of the best I've seen. Not too many songs and interruptions from the Harrys. Not too many interruptions from guests. Just great stand up, silly story telling and friendly audience baiting from Harry.
Stories include his Nan's trip to the zoo, and her embalmment. What sweets he took on his space shuttle missions. Keeping his tools in the back of his van, and a great new system for comparing marine animals with nuts, fruit and snacks.
Guests include Stouffer, who contacts the spirit world to pass on a message from the 'other side' to Becky in the audience. Gary Hill - Harry's son from his first ... Read More:

Madagascar [2005]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock
directed by: Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath

Release Date June 19, 2006
A bit slow at first but once it gets going it's hilarious - My favourites are the penquins and the lemurs.

I must have watched this film five times now and I will definately be watching it again.
