...but these dics just plain suck. They lock up permanently, I can't access the main menu anymore and my players freeze all the time. These are the only dics that have that problem. Might have something to do with my players ability to memorize the last play, which unfortunately I can't even turn off and it can be circumvented by playing a bunch of different DVDs to clean the cache of the players, but still it is annoying and frustrating. Great show, but they did something to those discs that makes them almost unusable.

This feature length Futurama adventure is well plotted and intelligent just as the series was but it is definitely not as laugh out loud funny. This may be simply because, as a long time fan of Futurama, its humour has become predictable for me, I don't know. I don't think it is over complicated, but a very clever plot and premise which can be enjoyed many times over.

This will definitely not ruin your memories of the series as it is quite different and equally good as many of the episodes. However, if you are looking to enjoy this in the same way you have with the series then I would advise watching it in more than one sitting, this way your attention will not be lost as a result of its length.

The special features are definitely ... Read More:

Love this guy! Especially between 95 to 98, what a comedic god! It was a shame he finished his career with a whimper rather than a BANG but with material (Difinate Article, Glorious, Dressed to Kill) like this, who cares? It does make one wonder what it is about his first release 'Live at the Ambassador' that makes him want us never to see or know about it again? I have it on VHS and it knock spots of Cirle and the dreadful Sexy. Come on Eddie, release your first offering, the bit about the Dalek is a hoot!

This must be one of the best movies ever made.
In the seventies Messrs Newman and Redford made several films together and they went together like Bob and Bing. They are ably supported by a kaleidascope of stars and boy do they pull it off. We used to say at the time, "You don't have a leading lady now - you have Robert Redford"!!!! Set in the Depression in the thirties they overcome adventures and problems to pull off a magnificent con. The sting in the tail really is a sting and would do a scorpion proud.
The younger generation are so accustomed to the predictable nonsense that is coming out of Hollywood these days, it is great to see what they were capable of pulling off thirty years ago.
If you haven't seen this film, then DON'T MISS IT.

Two words sums up the Only Fools And Horses Box Set "LUVVLY JUBBLY". Yes there are very minor editing cuts which are hardly noticable unless you know word for word the scripts and scenes but for the general joe/joan who just wants to sit down with a cup of tea and a bourbon biscuit and have laugh at the classic comedy that is still unrivalled then this is a box set not to be missed and at a current price of less than £85 is as Del would say himself "A Bargain Of A Life Time". It looks as if we will never get a full unedited version as shown on tv so i say make the most of a near perfect match. After all what do you expect from a Trotter. "LUVVLY JUBBLY" Buy It Now!!!!!!

I'll be honest here: I thought Shaun of the Dead was OKAY. Not amazing, definitely worth 4 stars, but not as stratospherically brilliant as everyone made it out to be (in my opinion!).
With Hot Fuzz, however, the tables turned. I came to this film with average expectations, expecting a decent-ish cop comedy. What I got blew me away.
The film felt bigger, smarter, faster...and funnier. Watching it first time around was good enough, and full of laughs (It's hard to say what kind of comedy style it is. Most would say black comedy, but there's a bit of everything here, especially tongue-in-cheek).

But I think the real beauty of Hot Fuzz is the subtlety and sheer number of references it makes. Whether it's spotting a character making a premonition about their ... Read More:

Firstly, i didn't expect much when this film started and much to my suprise my expectations grew worse as the film continued.

There are jokes that will make you laugh, but only if you have the intelligence lower than a 5 year old with severe learning difficulties. Now don't get me wrong, i have enjoyed previous films made by the same people, it's just that everything about the film is lack-lustre, from the performances to the script.

It seems that the writers just tried to make a film that would attract people because of their previous successes.

So i strongly recommend you go elsewhere if you want a comedy, as the only thing funny about this debacle is the attempt the actors make to save their credibility.

After they die, Adam (Baldwin) and Barbara (Davis) come back to their house as ghosts and find a family is moving in and the couple try to scare them away with help from bio-exorcist Beetlejuice.

Tim Burton's reputation as the darkest and most gothic director started here with a bizarre but wonderfully different tale of the dead and is both funny, and yet psychological scary, and brings a niche to the market in a strange and sophisticated way.

The film has a terrific opening with Danny Elfman's score exquisite to the bird's eye view of the town going past and the upbeat music plays right into our hands and will gear you up ready for the horror and excitement to begin.

Alec Baldwin (The Hunt for Red October) impresses as ambitious Adam and has good onscreen ... Read More:
