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...

The blonde leading ANOTHER Blonde

Advantages: Very funny,
Disadvantages: No Extras on DVD

...I am writing my review based on the film "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion", It is your typical blonde, dizzy, chick flick movie which was released in 1997 with the comical Lisa Kudrow from the hit show Friends, who also in this is very dippy plays Michele Weinberger!! She is working along side Mira Sorvino who plays the other dippy friend Romy White. Together they are very comical and have those blonde moments. The film was written by Robin Schiff and directed by David Mirkin. Basic Storyline It is there 10th year high school reunion and in school they was bullied by the "Popular people", these two friends have been best mates for life, they live together, go out together, do practically everything together. But when they receive there invitation to the reunion, they kind of realise there lives aren't as glamorous as...

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...

Blondes have more fun

Advantages: Lighthearted and funny
Disadvantages: Not for boys

...'Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion' is the ultimate chick flick. A girly version of the 'Pretty Woman' story. Poor and miserable to rich and happy. Two girls go from being unpopular to hip, cool and trendy. It opens with 'Just a Girl' by No Doubt playing. The setting is Venice Beach California. The camera homes in on a seafront appartment. Goes through the window and focuses on the TV on which Pretty Woman is showing. A clue to the audience about the type of film this is going to be. Lisa Kudrow is quite like her character Phoebe from 'Friends'. Thats not to say that is all she can do though. She has played several other serious characters too. Mira Sorvino was in 'The Relic'. A bad film but a reasonable performance. The film is a trendy comedy about Romy and Michelle's 10 year high school reunion. At reunions...

Review of Romy And Michele's High School Reunion (DVD)

You look so rich! I mean, great!

Advantages: Feel-good, fluffy, sweet!
Disadvantages: A bit dated

...Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is my all-time favourite film. It's a fluffy, feel-good film that is guaranteed to have you laughing, no matter how many times you've seen it before! It's very American and a little dated (it was released in 1996) but still fabulous! The storyline revolves around Romy White and Michele Weinberger, two dumb, ditzy American blondes. They are played by Mira Sorvino the Oscar-winning star of Mighty Aphoridte and ex-girlfriend of Oliver Martinez, otherwise known as Kylie's boyfriend, and Lisa Kudrow, who of course is Phoebe Buffay in Friends! When Romy and Michele hear their old high school back in Tucson, Arizona are having a reunion, they jump at the chance. After all, this is their big chance to show their bitchy ex-classmates how fantastic their lives now are. They are now slim, pretty blondes...

Review of Romy And Michele's High School Reunion (DVD)

I'm the Mary!!!!

Advantages: Hilarious, Nostalgic look at the 80's, Lisa Kudrow
Disadvantages: A bit silly for some.

...Happily plodding along with her life, Romy is at her work as normal when an old classmate turns up at the counter to pick up her Jaguar after it was in getting repaired. From this chance encounter, Romy finds out that her high school is having a 10 year reunion for her class! This is big news for Romy and her roommate (and life long friend) Michelle so they set too filling out the forms to register their intent to attend. However, problems arise when they realise that all they have to show for 10 years is that Romy is a cashier, Michelle is unemployed and both of them are still single ? surely they can?t go like that! So, they embark on a few plans to get themselves better jobs, new men and loose weight, but nothing seems to work. But wait??Romy has a better plan up her sleeve?.. This film is silly. It...
