Aladdin (Musical Masterpiece Edition) [1992]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Robin Williams, Scott Weinger, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman
directed by: John Musker

Release Date July 07, 2008
I bought Aladdin being a big fan of the Disney films and I was very pleased with the movie itself; Robin Williams is hilarious as the Genie, the story is good if not a bit too eccentric, the songs are wonderful and picture and sound quality are perfect.

However calling the DVD a 'Musical Masterpiece' edition is a bit of a marketing con. The only features are a pamphlet like booklet with song lyrics and then there's an option to put the film on with song subtitles appearing.

I did buy the DVD just for the film so I really didn't mind the lack of decent extras too much, it's a good price for a very good movie but if you're an extras fan it may be worth trying to find the DVD that was released in 2004.

Prison Break - Season 3 - Complete [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, William Fichtner, Amaury Nolasco, Wade Williams
directed by: Kevin Hooks, Greg Yaitanes, Michael Switzer

Release Date May 19, 2008
after the tension created in series 1 and 2, i was hoping a return to the prison escape format would keep it going but this is a step too far. some of the acting by the newer characters is sub-schoolplay level, and has made me seriously consider whether to bother with series 4

Hairspray (2007)

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: John Travolta, Elijah Kelley, Allison Janney, Taylor Parks, Jesse Weafer
directed by: Adam Shankman

Release Date November 19, 2007
I got this film for christmas last year and, as a result i was pleasantly surprised at how different it was to all the other musicals. I first watched it as soon as i got it (for an hour); as it went on i thought how bored i was, i think this was because the story seemed to go on and on etc. I wasn't understanding at all what was happening; i realise that i am younger than most people that watch it ,but all my friends seemed to watch it and agree with my opinion of it. I am a big fan of musicals, however i am not a big fan of this one!

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Alan Howard, Noel Appleby
directed by: Peter Jackson

Release Date December 10, 2004
"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day! An hour of wolves, and shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down; but it is not this day! Today we fight! By all that you you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

this says it all (even in todays world but lets not go there). what books and what a movie all of them. cheers peter jackson.

Alvin And The Chipmunks [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Jason Lee, David Cross, Cameron Richardson, Jane Lynch
directed by: Tim Hill

Release Date April 14, 2008
This is exactly what you would expect of a "Chipmunk" film. Lots of hilarious slapstick humour, silly, but predictable storyline, plus the enigmatic, if somewhat over-egged Chipmunk voices.

Storyline, of this mixed real film and CGI, is basically of an aspiring songwriter, struggling to write any kind of song, which is where Alvin, Theodore and Simon come in. From there the hilarities start and the predictable plot unwinds.

Not really for "adults", but for all kids everywhere, this is a great film. We put it on in the car for the kids whilst we were driving on holiday, and there was blissful peace from the back, apart from the regular bouts of laughter.

Heroes - Season 1 Complete [2006]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Milo Ventimiglia, Adrian Pasdar, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Masi Oka

Release Date December 10, 2007
I'm a fan of series like heroes (i enjoyed Smallville, Stargate etc) Although it was slow to start I felt it became better and better each week. The story helped to build the character's backgrounds, all of which were intriguing apart from the blonde woman with two personalities.

I feel my only problem with this series was it was building to something epic, and in the end it ended quite quickly.

Still a great series but it could have ended so much better. I feel the future series will only be better.

Spooks : Complete BBC Series 1 [2002]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Peter Firth, Hugh Simon, Rupert Penry-Jones, Nicola Walker, Miranda Raison

Release Date June 16, 2003
This type of show does not come along often enough. Well written, superbly acted, fast paced, compelling and thought provoking. You are hooked after the first 5 minutes. It was late and my husband and I made the mistake of thinking we would only watch about 20 minutes of an episode. We were riveted to our chairs for the entire hour. I'm not even sure we blinked. To those having trouble hearing it, on the "Desktop" at the beginning, use your up, down, left or right remote keys and navigate over to the phone and hit Play. It will give you an option of stereo (2) or monaural (I think, the computer voice is hard to understand) (5). We found it easier to understand on (2) stereo. Then pick the episode you want to watch. Bottom line: This is a great show. Don't miss it! ... Read More:

101 Dalmatians Platinum Edition [1961]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Rod Taylor, Betty Lou Gerson, Cate Bauer, Lisa Daniels, Ben Wright
directed by: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wolfgang Reitherman

Release Date March 03, 2008
Great animation, characterization, sound, and imagery rule in "101 Dalmations." It's action, excitement and love, but with a dark theme that's a bit scary.

The Water Horse - Legend Of The Deep [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > By Price
starring: Alex Etel, Emily Watson, Ben Chaplin, Brian Cox, Carl Dixon
directed by: Jay Russell

Release Date June 30, 2008
The "true" story of Nessie, the Loch Ness' monster, in a mix of comedy and tragedy. The "pet" of a war orphan in some days growth to the size of most popular "monster" of our's times. The story of friendship between the child ad the "beast" on the background of WWII, with good special effects, some good action scenes and a good ending (with a "promise" for a sequel ??). A movie only for kids and parents ? Not in my opinion.
