Here it is ~ the ultimate pop compilation from the ultimate pop group.
From track one to track 35 (yes, that's right ~ 35), this is pure, unabashed
quality. All the hits are included, plus a few choice album tracks and some
fascinating foreign language versions. All in all, a DVD to die for.
There's an appealing joyousness about the early tunes ("Waterloo", "Mamma Mia",
etc), while the later, more sophisticated tracks ("The Winner Takes It All",
"One of Us"), are testament to the awesome songwriting abilities of Benny and
Bjorn. Even the final, less successful singles ("Head Over Heels", "The Day
Before You Came") are of considerable merit and worthy of anyone's attention.
Of course, the beauty of this collection is that you get to see the band as
well as hear them. For the guys out there, there will never be enough videos
of Agnetha and Frida. And for the girls... well, Benny's beard is something
to marvel at!
Abba were masters of the video as well as the record, and thus "The Definitive Collection" is a classic compilation that will disappoint no-one wise enough to pay £10.99 upwards for it. It's just wonderful to see the young foursome having such innocent fun in front of the camera during the brilliant "Bang-a-Boomerang". And while there's a tangible sadness about some of the latter clips (note the solemnity of "Under Attack"), they are still highly
watchable.
A must-have not only for Abba fans, but also for those curious to learn more
about this enduring phenomenom.
Don't miss this glorious opportunity to follow the development of possibly the best British comedy series we are ever likely to see. As box sets go, this is very, very special. It all started so unassumingly: the first series failed to set the world alight, despite being very funny. To the BBC's credit, it commissioned another run, and David Jason et al never looked back. "Only Fools and Horses" just got better and better. Each series surpassed the previous one, and most of the episodes featured in this fantastic collection were nothing short of hilarious. "Chance of a Lunchtime" is clever as well as funny, centering on a scam that any crook woud be proud of; "Yuppy Love" (perhaps the best-known and most-repeated episode) boasts a top-notch script and the funniest scene you could hope to see; and "Sickness and Health" demonstrates that writer John Sullivan is as adept at bringing a lump to the throat as he is at making you weak with laughter.
Although "Only Fools and Horses" has tailed off in recent years, this set reminds us just how brilliant it once was. If you want hours and hours of TV heaven, look no further. British comedy has never been better. Okay, this is no pocket money purchase... but it is difficult to imagine a better way of spending £49.99 upwards.
As Del Boy would say, you know it makes sense!
you will probably not have to read this review as most people hav seen this fantastic movie. a must have classic which tells the story of four young boys from a small American town going in search of a missing body. a great film with suspense and comedy which brings the four boys closer together to help them get through the journey. has a great ending even thought its a sad one but hope u enjoy watching it, its well worth the money and will be one to show the grandchildren when your older
I went to see it at the cinema and was waiting in anticapation to see it. The film had a good story line and i thought it was well directed and cleverly worked out. Film worth watching.
Poorly acted and slow-paced, but also a very accurate depiction of the early 80s Los Angeles punk rock/hardcore scene. One to avoid for the majority, but if you have an interest in the subject matter then a very watchable movie and time capsule of the period when being a punk rocker was a real middle-finger response to a world that was going insane to many people. This movies attempts to address many of the social problems prevalent of the times, but never explores with any great depth. Broken families, runaway teenagers, incest, drug abuse... it's not an uplifting viewing. But the entire movie is redeemed by the quality live footage of seminal L.A. punk bands of the era, D.I., T.S.O.L. and The VANDALS. If you have an interest in those bands and the era they represent, well this movie is a priceless insight into the world of 1982 L.A. punk rock.
The best thing about Ron Howard's Apollo 13 masterpiece is that it really happened, making it even more nail-biting and inspiring. This true NASA tragedy tells the tale of averted disaster and heroism and is a stunning testament to the crew and scientists who showed great skill and bravery in the face of disaster.
What works beautifully in this film is its restraint, it's not a movie about bravado or fake heroics, but is honest and celebrates real courage. Tom Hanks isn't afraid of showing the gripping-fear resonating throughout the tale, but on the other hand the believable characters also lift the tone, giving a very realistic human element.
What's more, Howard doesn't get hung up on the hi-tech terminology, but manages to pull everything together and create suspense and drama when it all goes wrong. He uses news footage to give the movie urgency and despite a generous helping of cheesy one liners "We've never lost an American in space and we're sure not going to lose one on my watch", you can't deny that this film is a well-crafted recreation of the epic space journey.
Verdict
Packed full of American pride, this slick and polished blockbuster will have you by the throat with its tension and spellbinding story - one of the finest feel-good films ever made!
this dvd is amazing englands goals are wicked
A little slower than the first film, but some of the deaths are as freaky as hell.
Why this series didn't get decent airtime in the UK is a mystery. Excellent spoof on the cop genre of the 80's. If you think that you will find a stereotypical, nihilistic cop who will blow up an entire building just to get rid of a roof top sniper funny - you'll love this!
It's been a long time coming but has been well worth the wait!
Contains almost all of the classics from the Hal Roach era. With b&w/colour options for most. Also foreign language versions + special bonus disk. A must for anyone who remotely likes Stan & Ollie.
Brilliant vehicle for Jack Black to do what he does best - make us laugh! Far less 'Disney' orientated as many thought it would be School of Rock manages to tread that fine line between just providing family entertainment and throwing in some adult asides too. Well worth it - if just for one line right near the end!
Seminal 'ultra-violent' futuristic satire from Paul Verhoeven. An excellent European look at 80s, corporate America complete with digs at the State, greed and low-brow TV!
the worst film i have ever seen.the voice dubbing was terrible,no emotion in the voices whatsoever.hard to follow.dont buy it
Another hit from Pixar's animation studio.
Bob Parr is a superhero forced into retirement, working in an insurance job that he despises. But Bob and his family are subsequently drawn into a struggle to save the world ...
A cracking story line and animation make for real enjoyment for adults and kids.
this film is one of the best prison films i have seen, stallone is excellent, he knows how to get on with his time in prison he jus doesnt get the chance, well worth watching.
Vin Diesel is back, after the success of Pitch Black, as the convict Riddick hunted by mercenaries across the galaxy. Unwittingly Riddick becomes entangled in the fight against the Necromongers, beings intent on ruling humans across the Universe.
Cinematic history was made with the conclusion of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now fans have the option of seeing a further 50 minutes or so of footage carefully restored in this special extended edition.
More emtional, dramatic and action scenes make this a must-have for LOTR fans.
Even better than his previous stand-up. Lots of new material, VERY funny, actually tells stories rather than your quick run off the mill stand-up like Jimmy Carr (who i do actually like).
10 out of 10, fan TASTIC.
Much more of the true story added in the extended edition, which is very enjoyable. Masses of extras which often make the viewer feel as emotional as cast and crew, as it is the last time they are all togehter. A must have for any The Lord Of The Rings fan.
A great opening sequence, with some very familiar music. Cartoonish plot with a good payoff. Well worth a watch.
