Yash Chopra's Mega multistarrer

Advantages: Amitabh Bachan and Sanjeev Kumar's performances
Disadvantages: Too many stars

...Trishul ( Trident ) - 1978 Trishul was made by Yash Chopra on a grand scale. The story was written by Javed Akhtar. It was the first film for which Javed wrote the story independently. Earlier Salim and Javed as a team penned stories for many popular films like Sholay, Deewar, and so on; Yash Chopra, Salim- Javed and Amitabh Bachan teamed in many films in the seventies after the super success of Deewar. Trishul was as big a success as Yash Chopra's earlier films 'Deewar' and 'Kabhie kabhie' , and it will be remembered for its huge star cast comprising of half the film industry so to say. The story of Trishul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shanti ( Waheeda Rehman) is a middle class working girl, who meets Raj ( Sanjeev Kumar) an Engineer.They fall in love and she gets pregnant.

Review of Trishul (Hindi Language) (DVD)

An Excellent songless thriller by Yash Chopra

Advantages: Excellent direction and a gripping storyline
Disadvantages: none

...Iteefaq(Unexpected) is a film directed by Yash Chopra.It is a suspense thriller with no songs and the entire story happens in the course of one night with some flash backs.. There are more than some uncanny similarities to the Hollywood film 'Signpost to Murder '(1964) starring Joanne Woodward. Nevertheless Ittefaq stands out as a well directed and interesting Indian noir. The story of Ittefaq ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dilip Roy (Rajesh Khanna) a painter is accused of murdering his wife Sushma(Alka). Al the evidences point to him as the suspect, He pleads about his innocence , but the police have made up their mind that he is guilty. He is put in an assylum when he tries to escape arrest and feigns insanity.However he is determined to find the real culprit so he escapes from the mental assylum and immediately there is an alert and a search...

Review of Ittefaq (Hindi Language) (DVD)

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...

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...

A spiritual blueprint for success

Advantages: Compact and Bijou and packed with interesting information.
Disadvantages: easy to forget and get out of the habit of practising the laws

...or perfect person or perfect film there are only differing degrees of subjective perfectionism. Along the way I have amassed a lot of books and authors whom I consider to be high on the subjective perfectionism scale and one such author is Deepak Chopra. Dr. Deepak Chopra has written over 25 books based on the mind-body connection and also our spirituality. He built a successful endocrinology practice in Boston in the 1980's and it was here he first realised that the meaning of health was not just the absence of disease which has, ironically, plagued the health field for hundreds of years, at least it had in the western world. (Sorry if that sounds pompous, but I used to be a trainee nurse and we had to do the history of health and this was one of the things that came of out of that course). Chopra quickly began to realise that to treat...

Review of Seven Spiritual Laws of Success - Deepak Chopra

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...
