One Tree Hill: The Complete First Season
Thursday 3rd March 2005 23:22
The WB seems to be the network to really have identified themselves with the 'teen angst' dramas. One of their latest, One Tree Hill, continues the network's genre admirably. Now Warner Brothers has released the first season on a nice DVD set...

Open Range
Tuesday 17th February 2004 15:37
Open Range is the return to form that Kevin Costner fans have been praying for. The film spins a carefully crafted yarn, and succeeds on almost every level. At times the pacing is a little too slow for my liking, but at the end of the day, this is the bes

Open Your Eyes
Monday 11th March 2002 23:25
Science fiction has been rightfully called “the literature of ideas.” A truly excellent science fiction movie, then, would be one that does what the best science fiction does: plays with new ideas, challenges your perceptions, and tells a compelling story

Wednesday 14th September 2005 22:52
A player which upscales standard DVDs to high definition can't be good can it? It would have to make up information and that just wouldn't work, would it? Take a look inside for the full review.

Out of Time: Special Edition
Thursday 22nd January 2004 14:29
At the end of the day, Out of Time is a good little film that could have been so much more. If it weren’t for the competent directing from Carl Franklin, and the performances from Washington and co, Out of Time would have been real bottom of the pile mate

Paranoid
Thursday 1st November 2001 21:36
Jessica Alba plays a beautiful fahion model who is held against her will by a bunch of perverted strangers. She has nobody to turn to for help except an equally strange crank phone caller. This pushes believability to the extremes but is it any good?

Patriot Games: Special Collector's Edition
Monday 12th May 2003 19:46
Overall then I found Patriot Games to be a disappointing second adventure for Jack Ryan. Although Harrison Ford puts in a solid and believable performance he is let down by a poorly paced and predictable script. It isn’t all bad though. The film does have

Thursday 15th November 2001 18:45
While Patton is clearly a war movie, the strength of the film is that it isn’t just a war movie, or even primarily about war. It’s a character portrait: a complex and engrossing examination of an interesting, complex, and controversial figure over the cou

Cinema Paradiso: Collector's Edition
Thursday 19th June 2003 23:27
Although Arrow have been a little over-eager to slap a ‘collector’s edition’ tag on this package, the film itself is worth buying the DVD for, as long as the price is pleasing enough.
