I saw this mini series years ago, but would love to see this go to DVD

This video explains in detail the basics of Pilates and gives you a good grounding. All the exercises are explained carefully and different ability levels catered for.

You will not feel particularly like you are "working out" whilst you do the moves, but you will notice a difference in your body. For me in particular, my abdominals became stronger and my spine lengthened and posture improved.

Once you have worked on this video for a while, you will feel the need to progress to something more challenging.

I teach GCSE drama in a rough Saff London Comp and get the students hooked with Baz Lurhrmann's modern version of it and then to teach them more of what Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote the play, I show them this one by Zeffirelli - it works a treat. It is beautifully done, universal in its themes and appeal and the acting is rivitingly good - especially the very young and beautiful Olivia Hussy, though Michael York as a petulant Tybalt is equally good.

My mum bought this film for me along with My Fair Lady and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers when i had been intrested in theatre and musicals for a while. Now, don't get me wrong the other two are amazing, but this is just top-notch! Along with The Sound Of Music, this is not only my favourite musical, but also my favourite film of all time! It's just a classic, and they never go out of date. Even though i wasn't alive when this first came out, i love it all the same. And Allyn McLerie gives a good performance as Katie Brown too. I watch this film so much. It's brill. And great fun for the whole family. Good to watch with grandparents as they will remember it from their childhood! A Must see!

If I'm commenting on the film I would have to say it's wonderful. I've always loved it, probably because of the music, scenery and it's a perfect way to spend a couple of hours.
If I'm commenting on the product, it was so annoying to have an intermission in the middle. What's the thinking behind that? It may not bother most people but it really irritated me. If I'd wanted a break I would pause it when I wanted. I sold my DVD and will probably buy a video. That's the only reason for the low score.

After the success of "Goldfinger", the Bond producers secured the film rights to "Thunderball" and tripled the budget. The basic plot is simple but good: Largo, working for Spectre, steals atomic missiles and demands a ransom. Unfortunately, "Thunderball" is considerably longer than the previous movies, but there's less plot. The script is dull and the direction lifeless. Most of the budget seems to have been spent on the underwater sequences. But they're not well made, only chaotic and go on for way too long. They become the anticlimax of a movie that had already lost my interest. "Thunderball" is one of the few Bond movies that manages to bore me. Not recommended.
