Advantages: Cool effects, good storyline, scary.
Disadvantages: This is not the director's cut

...Alien follows the story of a group of deep-space miners who are sent off-course to investigate a distress call from what turns out to be an alien ship. Subsequently, a creature manages to get on board the ship - I won't spoil it by saying how - and starts hunting the crew. It's all deeply traumatizing stuff, especially when to take in the fact that creature itself was designed by famously wierd artist H. R. Giger. The cast all put in sterling performances, and they're all sympathetic characters so it's sad to see any of them die. Believe me, you'll be on edge of your seat for this one. At least, you would be if you bought this DVD. The trouble is, I can't recommend it, despite all I've said so far. Why? Because while this DVD is labelled as a director's cut, it is in fact nothing of the sort. Ridley Scott even goes so far... Read review

...My Vauxhall Corsa is over 10 years old now and is slowly showing its age. One of the things which is perhaps most noticeable is the fading paintwork, especially on the roof and bonnet of the car. Being a red car, this is quite visible, but aside from respraying the entire bodywork, I didn’t think there was much that could be done. After all, you can’t make new out of old, can you? Well probably not, but there are products out there which help to restore colour. That’s where T-Cut comes in. A colleague at work recommended I try T-Cut Original Colour Restorer, so I thought I’d try it for myself. WHAT IS T-CUT? T-Cut is made by Carplan, one of the most respected brands of car care products. They do an impressive range of products, including waxes, polishes, scratch removers and, of course, colour restorants. HOW IT WORKS T-Cut... Read review

Advantages: Great at removing spray paint and covering scratch marks
Disadvantages: Can't be used prior to re-spraying

...I have had T-cut in my car care kit for five years now and would be in trouble without it. I first bought it to put the shine back onto my first car, then to repair some damage after another driver reversed into my car and most recently to remove spray paint from my car. RESTORING THE PAINTWORK T-Cut can really bring back the shine to your car, especially when you are trying to sell your car and need to distract the buyer from the large rust hole in the passenger side wing. Didn't work to distract the buyer, but he was impressed by the shine in the rest of the paint work. COVERING SCRATCHES. With my second car, I was crossing a junction and passed behind a stationary car. They didn't see me and reversed back into my rear door. The damage was largely superficial and only left a few scratch marks and some rubber from... Read review

Advantages: Keeps you thinking, fantastic storyline, you will want to watch it over and over!
Disadvantages: You really do have to watch it to understand it.

...I bought this DVD from eBay I believe for about £7... This was a total bargain especially for a directors cut so shop around, there are definatley some good bargains to be had! STORYLINE - This is one of my favourite movies of all time just because of the sheer high quality of pretty much everything. The story in brief captures the life of a teenage boy in 80s suburbia, living a life that could have been... Guided or misguided by his imaginary friend 'Frank', the film bring twists and turns throughout the period of which Donnie tries to find himself. This film questions every persons take on space, time and reality... A seriously good film for people who like to think. CAST - Everyone who is in this film e.g. Jake Gylenhall ('Donnie') is of very quality as far as acting talent goes. They really enable you to be drawn... Read review

Advantages: Original, Breakthrough, Heartbeats.
Disadvantages: Like Marmite.

...Swedish duo, 'The Knife' have been a massive inspiration for so many bands since their formation in 1999. Deep Cuts was their second album, released in 2003 and the most astonishing thing about it is its originality. The Knife adhere to no rules, and with Deep Cuts, as with all their albums you embark upon a journey which is immensely enjoyable from beginning to end. There is something haunting, fascinating and appealing about lead singer Karin Anderssons voice. It sounds as strange and different as the backing music which is generally electronica, but with odd twists such as throwing in some steel drums occasionally, particulaly in the second track 'pass this on'. Deep Cuts is off course best known for the song 'Heartbeats'. It recieved more attention after having been covered acousticly by Jose Gonzalez, however as any Knife... Read review

Advantages: entertaining, suspenseful, funny
Disadvantages: may not impress slasher/horror fans

...I went to see "Urban Legends: Final Cut" without knowing what to expect. I haven't seen the first "Urban Legend", and neither did I see any of the "Scream" movies. I don't have a lot of baggage when it comes to the slasher/horror genre. I understand that others, who've seen the gamut of the genre, are really tired of certain elements and didn't enjoy this film quite as much. For me, "Urban Legends: Final Cut" was an entertaining and satisfying experience. What I love most about "Urban Legends" is that it kept me in suspense all the way through (without making me feel like an idiot for not being able to figure out who the serial killer was, because there is no way one could figure that out) and that all pieces worked together well, even the music written by director John Ottman; "Urban
