FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

The Lady Elizabeth - a virgin Queen?

Advantages: Great character development, interesting period, flows well

Review of The Lady Elizabeth - Alison Weir

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Advantages: Nice costumes, fantasic actors
Disadvantages: Lack of a single significant, memorable event, messy plot, several unfair character portrayals

...The first "Elizabeth" left us wanting more. With an outstanding debut performance from the sublime Cate Blanchett as one of England's most celebrated and powerful monarchs, the dark underlying plot full of schemes, treachery and violence was a stunning portrayal of the queen's early years, her rise to power and initial difficulties in obtaining absolute control of her throne. And now "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" looks at the later years of her reign, her involvement with the Spanish Armada, even more conspiracy plots, again, a possible love line, and religious turmoil throughout the country. There is some good news when glancing at the sequel's premise: Blanchett is back - there is absolutely no one who could have filled her shoes in the role that boosted her career into superstardom.
