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...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

"Lesbian Demands Cheese; Causes Riot!"

Advantages: Very funny,and easy to watch
Disadvantages: Sometimes you have to think

...Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning "There's nothing to fear but fear itself ?. Great, now I'm scared of fear!" Ellen DeGeneres, born January 26, 1958 in Louisiana, is an American actress, stand-up comedian, and Emmy Award-winning host of the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Before landing a talk show, she also stared in (and produced) a stream of short-lived sit-coms. Ellen's stand-up career began very simply - being asked to entertain at her friends' parties. She was soon noticed and moved onto coffee houses, and was then asked to take up a regular spot at Clyde's Comedy Club, the only (then) comedy club in New Orleans. In 1981 she first recorded her performance and 1982 saw her voted Funniest Person In America. While at the comedy club, she was spotted by the producer of the Tonight show, and her name will stand in...

Review of Ellen DeGeneres - The Beginning (DVD)

The Bangs, The Bangs What about the Bangs?

Advantages: Hillarious, Poigniant, Interesting, Degeneres Sparkles
Disadvantages: A Few Low Points

...Very, very few stand up comedians make me laugh, I find people like Ricky Gervais and Billy Connelly quite offensive and don't really 'get' their humor. I have always had very strange tastes in comedy and rarely enjoy what the rest of the country seem to (Peter Kay just goes right over my head.) So when I do find someone who can make me truly laugh I generally stick with them throughout their careers, my favorite has to be Ellen Degeneres. Ever since 1996 when I first saw one of her stand ups on America television I have been enthralled by her thought provoking and deeply funny ideas on life and the world and have gone on to read or watch everything that she has produced. This is Ellen Degeneres - The Beginning and signals a drastic change in her career and life as a 'celebrity.' Three years before filming this special gig, she came out...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

Bridging the Gap

Advantages: Brilliantly written, wonderful descriptions, great plot and characters
Disadvantages: flashbacks

...The Bridge is a very interesting and original sci-fi novel. I find that too often in science fiction, aliens and other forms of life are portrayed as extremely human-like. Janine Ellen Young's aliens are completely different. She shows great inspiration in the creation of another race and expert writing skill in the description of their effect on mankind. ~~~ The Plot ~~~ A race of space-dwelling aliens communicate partly by means of transmitting viruses to each other. They decide to try and contact other worlds by building a bridge. But they can only construct one end of the bridge and need the people they're contacting to build the other. So they send through ships that will spread out across the universe, and one of them reaches Earth. Unfortunately, the message is transmitted by a virus. 90% of the world's population catch...

Review of The Bridge - Janine Ellen Young

DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.

Advantages: DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: none

...Before I bought this DVD player Id never really owned a DVD player before. I had however had and still do have a ps2 on which I used to play my DVDs. I never really went and still don’t go on this so much so I was going to sell it and buy a DVD player. In the end I decided to just keep the ps2 and to get a cheaper DVD player than I was looking for in the first place. The main reason why I wanted a new DVD instead of the one in the ps2 was so I could play divx format DVDs on it. The DVD player in a ps2 doesn’t recognise this format and scene as I have several divx movies already on disk and on my laptop to put onto disk then I wanted a DVD player that would recognise and play this format. Another plus to this format is that it saves space on disks as it compresses movies into smaller file sizes without compromising...

Review of Play.com

DVDs for a fixed monthly fee...

Advantages: Simple, easy to use, quick delivery, good customer service
Disadvantages: May not have all the titles you are after

...I was using one of those sites that offer you points or a few cents for trying out free offers (don't recall which one exactly, may have been 'IPoints'...) and it had Lovefilm's FREE two week trial. I signed up free for the minimal membership which allows you to keep one DVD at a time for as long as you want (with no late fees!) and although I had to give my credit card information, the agreement states that you will not be charged anything if you cancel within the two week period.. The membership ranges from £9 to £15 per month now; I do not recall how much it cost mid last year to be honest.. The other memberships get you 2 and 3 DVDs at a go. I added the films I was interested in to some sort of 'wishlist'. The idea is that they send you one DVD, you keep it for as long as you want, then they send you the next one on your list...
