This is the seventh box set taking the excellent 'Sopranos' to it's inconclusive conclusion. The final nine episodes included here are of the same high standard as those before it and continues the build up of tension started in Season six part 1. Anybody who has watched the show and has got to this late stage in the saga will not be needing a review to decide on a purchase, you're going to buy it anyway!!. To those people it is an excellent buy. i'm just a little disappointed that the cost has remained substantially higher than all the series before it. You've got to buy it to complete the set and they know that! For this point alone i've reduced the score to four stars.

seem to have a different opinion from so many other viewers, since I really enjoyed the first half of season six. Seeing Tony get shot, not by season one's physically and mentally vigorous Uncle Junior, as I had kept anticipating that season, but by the toothless demented Uncle Junior, believing he was shooting someone else entirely was priceless irony. I loved the part with Tony in the coma in our world, while -wherever he was - he was exactly what he had always dreaded being - a nobody. Worse, he's a traveling salesman who is "trapped" and unable to get home. When Tony comes out of his coma, he vows to change and take every day as a gift, but later he is gradually pulled back into his old ways, since his position as boss really gives him no alternative. ...

So the series that had it all has ended. For all of you that missed this when run on Channel 4 and its offshoots over the past eight years or so snap this up. HBO have delivered the best TV drama bar none over the past decade (sorry beeb but there is more to quality drama than crinolines and bonnets).
The magnificent Band of Brothers, the glossy, sumptuous Rome,the peerless The Wire and the quirky Deadwood and Carnivale. This demonstates that the creative talent is out there but constrained by the pressure of Nielsen ratings and the blandness of network TV strictures in the US of A.

The punchy scripts, the humour and the courageous character arcs of Davids Chase's writing were a breath of fresh air on first viewing. The violence that is clearly ... Read More:

An engrossing show that is hard hitting. The narration is a bit annoying and on the whole unnescessary, although occasionally it doesn add a thought provoking point or commentary.

I don't usually watch prison drmams, but decided to give this a go having read positive reviews- and I'm glad I did. It is dark and offers an antidote to syrupy sentimental drama, to implausible dramas, or to those relying on thinly drawn characters.

Each episode develops the characters further, and the storylines are high quality allowing tensions and dynamics to be explored. In fact this is quite an intersting study in psychology.

Worth a look.

This is a decent enough, easy watch exploring the topic of control and gender in an entertaining fashion, a reworking of the sadly murdered Theo van Gogh film of the same name (Buscemi honours him in the credits and also with the removal van in the early part of the film). The essence of the film is how men, regardless of their own inflated opinions of their intelligence and worldliness, and, despite their better instincts, can't help but be manipulated and wooed by femmes fatales.

There are moments when this film does feel a bit too theatrical, a little over-acted, but overall, its a classic, two people in a room, character based story which underscores Buscemi's ability as a director and actor and actually boosted my opinion of Sienna Miller (albeit ... Read More:

Stay well clear of this release. It is one of the poorest DVD authoring jobs I've seen. Firstly, the stated widescreen aspect ratio of 1.77:1 is wrong--the film is in standard 4:3.

Secondly, and most importantly, the sound has a quite audible background hiss throughout the entire feature; which gets very prominent during quiet passages. It seems the people responsible for "authoring" this disc boosted the volume to compensate for an inferior audio track (or perhaps wanted to ensure deaf people heard every line spoken)

Either way, you are better off with the region 1 release (although that is far from great also)

(I probably needn't say there is nothing in the way of extras or alternate audio tracks either. Not even a booklet with ... Read More:

I watched this movie the other night and was so bored with it I fell asleep.Thinking with a good star heading the cast it would be good, defoe,and furlong matched well as actors but as for the grittiness of the film I must have blinked and missed that part.I have watched far better movies about prison on tv, this was poor, and definatley a film I regretted buying.
