In the opening scene of the first episode, the most terrifying female villain on TV, Felicia "Snoop" Pearson is listening to a hardware store clerk explaining the advantages of buying a high calibre nail gun. The Wire being The Wire, you just know she won't be using it for any home improvement. And so begins another audacious season of the finest drama on the box, this time with the emphasis on Baltimore's failing educational system.

Disgraced ex-cop "Prez" features highly in his new role as a high school maths teacher trying his best to reach students who have no interest in anything outside corner life and earning a quick dollar slingin'. McNulty is back on the beat and off the drink whilst Kima, Bunk and Freamon work homicides ... Read More:

I have the American version that I bought the other week becuase I couldn't wait to get it!
The Blu Ray version is very a very good transfer and possibly one of the best out there. This is paramounts biggest release and its worth the wait.
The extras are really good too and unlike some blu ray's the extras are mostly shot in HD too.
It is also BD live meaning updates and interactive quizes etc are in there too.
The best part is the box art, pull off the swleeve and theres the man under the mask, epic!

One star and five star reviews for this film should be laughed at, as you will many great moments in the first half of this film.

At some point the laughs had to run out, there is only so much script in an alcoholic super hero.

When that happens and the plot twist occurs, which many will see coming, you've just got to enjoy looking at the tunning Charlize Theron and patiently await the end of the film.

A powerful and truly inspiring adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl. All the performances are stunning. The rough camera work gives it an immediacy and power which is utterly compelling. It's low budget naturalism is a virtue. It doesn't distract with flash costumes and chocolate box locations. Instead it draws you in to it's world and makes you totally involved with the characters and their lives. Gripping from beginning to end.

I do not know the true history this movie is based upon, I like most viewers, am aware of Ghengis Khan and that he was a great conquerer. Beyond the fact that his name was temudgin I knew nothing else of his story. So I find myself impressed that he wasn't portrayed as a great speech maker or the strongest warrior ever etc. The film shows him as clever but quiet and toughtful. I do not know if this is an accurate representation of him but it is interesting none the less. The acting is very good and because there is no one famous they seem more convincing.

Seasons 1-3 of House M.D. were brilliant and season 4 continues in that vein with 16 episodes of very entertaining drama.

Season 4 of House takes off in style. House, without his medical team, is left diagnosing complex illnesses by himself. This is the basis of some brilliant comedy as House uses just about anyone he can find in the hospital (even the cleaner) so he can bounce ideas off them to get his own brilliant mind in gear.

The fist half of the season covers a story arc of House assembling his new team. He considers numerous interested candidates but only has 3 positions. For those familiar with House, you must be rubbing your hands in anticipation of the fun and games that mischievous House will engage in to get to his decision. You wont be disappointed. ...

I'm pretty certain if you're looking to buy this, you're not a new-comer to the series, so I won't break it down for you - so many reviews on each season for pick from, I won't bore you. Course if you are a new-comer... sorry. Simply reason for this review, is to tell you exactly what you're getting from this instead of the individual boxsets. Firstly, space-saver. Sounds stupid, maybe, but for those that are racing up 100s or 1000s of DVDs, it's a valid point, (yeah, that would be me, of course) and it is a growing problem. Secondly, you get extras that weren't on the originals, though flipside, if you have the first edition of Season One, (the 'format problem' one in the red case), you miss out on the extras on this, if you're swapping/up-grading). The extras aren't amazing here and I don't think ... Read More:

Now this should've been really good. "Sweeney Todd" has one of the best (and most difficult to perform) scores of any 20th century musical... So what did they do with it? Dumbed it down and removed over half of the material so that the cast of actors-who-can-sing could manage it. It really needed singers-who-could-act. That said, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter do a really good job with what they've got and the final scenes are wonderful. I found the highly-stylised London too much like "300" or "Sin City" and it just didn't work for me. It's fine if you're making a movie based on a graphic novel but for one that isn't? It just looked out-of-place. The only Tim Burton film I don't want to watch again.
