Denon DVD-2800 an audio visual masterpiece

Advantages: Great picture and sound quality, Good build quality, Champagne gold finish looks nice
Disadvantages: MP3 feature not as good as it should be, Not cheap

...with these shops is you get carried away before you know it you are looking at a Home Theatre System that?s costing way above your price range. So I set myself a budget and asked the sales assistant for advise on the best equipment I could get for my money. I was shown a Denon Home Theatre set-up, the DVD-2800 being part of it. The full set-up was the DVD player a Denon AVR-2802 Amp and a set of five Definitive Technology speakers which they set it up I their demonstration room so I could see and hear them in action. The DVD-2800 player It had just been released and looked very smart in the champagne gold finish. The main difference from the older model was the Pro-Logic 2 feature which enables the speakers behind you to produce stereo sound effects. Pro-Logic 1 could only produce mono sound effects. It?s a big unit about double...

Review of Denon DVD 2800

I Saw The Warm Rich Tones of Kylie's Cheeks

Advantages: Excellent picture and sound
Disadvantages: Bulky and heavy

...If you splash out on a quality TV then you need a quality DVD player. Having recently purchased a large LCD TV I knew that I could no longer rely on that cheap bit of technological tat that I bought from Tesco last year. If nothing else it just looked embarrassing under my 37 inch LCD screen. Looks and Set-Up The Denon 2800 MKII is an impressive unit that seems solidly constructed and comes in either a black or gold champagne casing that features a 15mm-thick aluminium extruded front panel. There is none of the cheap looking plastic casing that you get with a lot of the cheaper DVD players on the market nowadays. Instead what you have is a quality looking high grade piece of technology. Perhaps a bit on the bulky side but for me that is not a negative factor. Setting up the player is fairly straight forward, the leads are...

Rockit's DVD

Advantages: Quite good extras
Disadvantages: All in one long episode

...Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it! The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main...

Review of Fimbles - Smelly Jelly! (DVD)

A Golden DVD!

Advantages: entertaining, great length, good features, appealing natural comedy
Disadvantages: sorry, if you're under 12, its a no-go!

...I am a Telly Addict. I'll admit it, it's my life. What's more, I love anything that has me in stitches. So what better than to combine two of my favourite things and come up with an amazing show?! Harry Hill's TV Burps is a comedy show, presented by Harry Hill, which airs every on and off on ITV1. He also writes the script for the show too, which must result in him non-stop working. It first started in 2001 when Hill was just 37, and has been a success for the last eight years now. Each episode, Hill takes us on a journey to look back at that weeks' television, and everything comic about it. Often, there is a celebrity guest appearing in the audience-filled studio, to bring the entertainment and laughter to a peak. Now we can enjoy this magic on a DVD! For Christmas I had asked for Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold DVD, however I did not...

Superbad DVD

Advantages: Very funny, good acting
Disadvantages: Aimed quite specifically at teenagers, quite crude humour

...his childhood penis obsession..). The DVD includes quite a few special features, for example, deleted scenes and outtakes, as with most DVDs, and is good value for money. Overall, if you are looking for a teen comedy and have a fun, slightly immature side, you will probably love this!...

The Notebook DVD

Advantages: Moving, beautiful love story
Disadvantages: Makes me cry!!

...Having watched this film on Channel 4 at the weekend (I have the DVD also but just had to watch it) I've decided to review it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Although, I see that a lot of people have already seen it as the UK premier on Channel 4 attracted 1 million viewers!! The Notebook is a beautiful romance that still makes me cry after numerous viewings. It is poignant, romantic, sad, hopeful and uplifting all rolled into one. The Notebook was actually developed from a book written by the American author Nicholas Sparks in 1996. It spent over a year as a hardcover best seller. The film version was released in 2004. It follows the story of Noah and Allie, childhood sweethearts who eventually find each other again after years apart. The story is very cleverly told as a flashback. It begins in a modern day nursing home...

Leatherheads DVD

Advantages: Funny, George Clooney
Disadvantages: None

...almost filmed like that too, quite fast paced and uses a lot of old time props such as steam trains and really adds a good element to the film. The costumes are great as well and it really makes you lust after the wardrobe of Renee Zellweger. George Clooney plays his part extremely well too and although he is looking a bit older he still pulls off the rugged, football player look. John Kraskinsi is not as an established actor as the other too but does not seem out of his depth at all and really holds his own against the other two stars. There are not too many bonus features in this DVD, just some deleted scenes which are quite funny in places. The film lasts for approximately 1 hour and 49 minutes and it is a PG, containing mild language and comic violence. I would not rush to see this film again but it is funny enough, different...

Review of Legacy (DVD)

DVD's a Plenty!!!

Advantages: cheap, compact, great bargain
Disadvantages: none

...Woolworth?s Worth It DVD Player Well having completely given up on our Liteon DVD recorder which cost us a fair bit of money but was totally useless at recording anything let alone simply playing a DVD with ease we decided to get a new DVD player. It is usually me that buys these sorts of things and then I have to get my boyfriend to give me half the money. He doesn?t often like spending money without a lot of thought so we end up never really getting anything when he does the shopping!! However imagine my surprise when he walks through the front door holding a Woolworth?s bag containing a brand new DVD player, I really couldn?t believe my eyes! This DVD player from Woolworth?s only cost £19.99 pence and that I think is a total bargain. Looking in the Argos catalogue the cheaper ones in the book pretty much start...
