Son Of The Morning Star [1991]

Son Of The Morning Star [1991]

The best ever filmed action scenes of The Greasy Grass - Little Big Horn...
The best possible reenactors...
The best uniformology around...
And it REALLY clicks with ALL the books written about it... (at least the BEST of them...)

SO???... WHY NOT DVD???...(It took me years to find out but I got an AUSTRALIAN EDITION!!!... thanks to ebay...) even the HISTORICALLY inferior THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON is on DVD (and I have it, TOO!!! BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT OLD FLICK IN B&W... AND QUITE GOOD ACW PERIOD FILM...), and was a favorite when a child!... but that silly hollow square AT THE LBH !!!... forget about CUSTER OF THE WEST... it is a shame... and revisionists can have LITTLE BIG MAN too!!!... I DO NOT THINK CUSTER WAS MAD... OVERCONFIDENT YES!

SO RESUMING... THEY OUT THERE... WANT THE DVD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!

PS: The best wargaming figures are probably those in 28 mm by Wargames Foundry...


Bedknobs And Broomsticks - Special Edition (1971) (Disney)

Bedknobs And Broomsticks - Special Edition (1971) (Disney)

This is one of those dvds you can get out any time of year over and over again and it still appeals. Who would have thought combining a witch, a doctor and WWII would create such wonder.

The characters created by Angela Lansbury (Miss Price the good witch) and David Thomlinson (Dr Amelius Brown)are wonderful and the combination of settings, singing, dancing and animation are very well balanced. Our whole family love this film.


The Sopranos - Series 1

The Sopranos - Series 1

By far the best series of the Sopranos, this is a fantastic box set. 5 stars is perhaps a tad generous, but since 4.5 wasn't an option I wasn't going to undersell the item.

It's the most violent of the 5 series, assuming the fifth follows trend, which is a plus for me. That sounds a little immature but hey, I don't know many guys who are fans of the organised crime genre who aren't fans of the violence factor.

I usually judge series'/seasons based on the ratio of episodes I enjoyed and episodes I didn't. Of the 13 episodes in this box sets, there were only 2 that I didn't "enjoy" and even then, they were more than watchable.

The remaining 11 (including the pilot) were fantastic. I look the Sopranos format through all series and if you do too, I recommend looking into Series 1 because the format is at its most fresh and entertaining in this box set.


Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls [2003]

Peter Kay - Live At The Bolton Albert Halls [2003]

Do yourself a favour and go and get 'Live At The Top Of The Tower'. Then forget about buying any of his other stuff, because essentially, it's the same material. Kay has the least amount of range I've ever known in a stand up comedian. 'Tower' was a genuinely funny release, albeit a little lazy comedically. This is just more of the same from somebody obviously trying to milk the popularity he got off the one good thing he's done.

Nostalgic comedy is pretty cheap at the best of times, but when it's done well it can work. It worked in his last DVD, but this is repetitive and insulting to the fans who deserve something fresh, not repackaged repeats.


Spider-Man 2 [2004]

Spider-Man 2 [2004]

Very dynamic production which really swings into the action side of Spiderman. The essence of the comic strip is also well defined, with the sets suitably cramped and very inner city like. Trump card though for me was the stuttering relationship between Parker and his dame, the very edible Miss Dunst. The final flowerng of their love and the revelation of Parker's heavy secret is just superb, and cuts across the electrifying action of the movie, to land a sublime contrast which lifts this picture out of the everyday - this is a masterpiece of the genre. For all the thrills and spills, my favourite scene of the movie - the incredibly arty shot of Spidey and his muse splayed out both lovestruck on one of his webs. Maybe not that hard to dream up for a writer, but it was beautifully shot and played. It easily compensated for the slight frustration one has for some of the less than real looking CGI sequences.


Eastenders - The Mitchells - Naked Truths [1998]

Eastenders - The Mitchells - Naked Truths [1998]

Everybody knows what to expect when the Mitchell brothers come a knockin'. Fists, pint glasses and furrowed brows fly around in a hurricane of East London fury for the majority of this blockbuster edition of EastEnders.

What I didn't expect, was to see the human side to these petty criminals. I was nearly moved to tears when Phil confessed that he spent ten years living as a woman in darkest Soho. I was positively sobbing when Grant revealed his undying love for his pet mongoose, tragically squashed underneath a passing Land Rover.

I cannot give away the ending but the twist involving Peggy, the unopened tin of Vaseline and a Cuban Cigar really tops off what is sure to be one of the best unacclaimed movies of all time. Excellent viewing.
