Top Gear - Box Set

Advantages: Three DVDs full of motoring mayhem!
Disadvantages: Some sequences are shortened

...This top gear boxset contains three seperate DVDs, Back in the fast lane (best of series 1 and 2), revved up (best of series 3 and 4), and The winter olympic special. I am a big fan of top gear and watch it every week, enjoying the humour and excitement that Clarkson, Hammond and May, bring to the world of cars. I have to say I prefer watching the more miscellaneos sequences (the races, challenges etc), to just watching one of the presenters thrash a supercar around the test track. This makes this DVD great for me, but not so much for those who are looking for a more serious motoring show. Back in the Fast Lane (best of series 1 and 2) This DVD contains some of the best sequences from the first two series's of Top Gear. It is the most serious of the three DVDs, and puts such cars as the Pagani Zonda, Mcclaren F1, and the Rolls...

Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...be ignored by the overall storyline. I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children. Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch. ******Conclusion***** All these movies in the Box Set; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

3 box set, top gun, beverly hills cop

Advantages: bargain for 3 movies
Disadvantages: not what so ever

...best friend. And beverly hills cop finds Axel Foley a free-wheeling cop from Detroit, investigating the murder of his best friend and finds himself dealing with a whole different crime culture in California, having been led there by mikeys killer . Having spent some time trying to lose 2 detectives sent to keep an eye on him he enlists their help, and the help of another friend of his who works in an art galley, they track down mikeys killers to make sure they can not kill any body else. This box set is available online from around £7 which is a bargain really for 3 movies, although it may be available on ebay for less. Totally worth it though for some classically great movies. When i bought my top gun on its own i paid £5 for that from ebay....

3 in 1 - Top notch John Grisham box set

Advantages: excellent if you are a john grisham fan
Disadvantages: not an advisable purchase if you don't like legal thrillers.

...Wright .... Miss Birdie Virginia Madsen .... Jackie Lemancyzk Mickey Rourke .... Bruiser Stone Andrew Shue .... Cliff Riker Red West .... Buddy Black Johnny Whitworth .... Donny Ray Black Wayne Emmons .... Prince Thomas Adrian Roberts .... Butch Roy Scheider .... Wilfred Keeley Extras Runtime: 135 min Country: USA Language: English Certification: UK:15 / USA:PG-13 On a stand alone basis I would give this film an 8/10 Overall, this dvd box set is a very good mixture though the obvious them running through them all is that they are based on John Grisham novels. Quite often box sets are made up of the one or two films you want and added to with some tripe that isn't worth watching but not this. I bought this at WHS Smiths for 12.99 and it was...

All in one perfect box set!

Advantages: Complete seasons and all contained together
Disadvantages: None

...blunt and honest opinions! She is a very provocative person and loves nothing more than being in charge in and out of the bedroom. Samantha doesn't do relationships and even the thought of being in a relationship is her worst nightmare! The set: Each season follows on nicely from the last - there is no huge gap for us to be filled in on and so it makes it easy to just keeping watching and carry on from where you left off at the end of each season. The contents include each season with all episodes and each has the extra features which include commentary form the actors. Price: Price varies from place to place and will also depend on whether you want to purchase individual seasons or just buy the complete set in one. The single seasons start at around the £10 mark but, this complete season 1-6 box set starts from around just £50 so it...

Friends Complete Box Set

Advantages: You can own them all
Disadvantages: costly

...friends. Lisa Kudrow- Plays Phoebe Buffey. Sings loads of crazy songs which match her personality. Completely hopeless but very funny. Matt Le Blanc- Plays Joey Tribianni. Obsessed about becoming an actor, who is just as dizzy as Phoebe, and never really getting anywhere in the acting world. Mathew Perry- Plays Chandler Bing. Who's only defence is his humour, very laid back, with many people in the series thinking he is gay. David Swhwimmer- Plays Ross Geller. A nerdy palaeontologist whose wife left him for A lesbian. Sister too Monica, on and off all the time with Rachel. ********************************************************************** The very presentable box set contains 236 episodes, on double sided CD's. On the last DVD, it contains documentaries, unseen footage and gag reels, which are very funny...

The Hammer Collection Box Set

Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection
Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions

...A selection of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula'). The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired. For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut. My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role. Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take...

cracking British comedy box-set

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: bit rude

...WHAT IS IT ABOUT: Peep Show is a Britsh comedy sit-comn that focuses on two flat-mates, Mark and Jez, whose completely different lifestyles don't stop both of them getting into a series of bizarre and ridiculous situations. SERIES 1: Series one basically focuses on both men trying to sleep with Toni, the next door neighbour, but also sets the foundation for Mark's infatuation with Sophie, a focus of many future series. There are six episodes on the DVD, each of which is 25 minutes long. This is an excellent comedy show that is cleverly built on a very basic premise; take a nerdy, law-abiding, nervous office worker and his unemployed, anarchistic drug using mate, and let the madness ensue! The juxtaposition of two completely different characters leads to some brilliant set pieces. The show is very minimalistic, but it...
