My mixed DVD collection: the good and the... not so good
Fight Club [1999]Fight Club [1999]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50
The first rule is we do not...." Yeah, yeah we all know the quote! One of my favorite films of all time - The sweat, blood and the topless Pitt and Norton make it a delight for women to watch. 10/10
The Ultimate Bourne Collection Boxset [2007]The Ultimate Bourne Collection Boxset [2007] by Matt Damon
Brilliant trilogy, my favorite - and i'm not just saying that 'cause Matt Damon is "hot stuff". Clever and witty storylines, they couldn't have picked a better actor for Bourne's character. 10/10
Hairspray (2007)Hairspray (2007)
Buy new: £5.85 / Used from: £3.38
Need cheering up? This movie can definately put a smile on your face guranteed, if it's not Travolta in drag it's the catchy fun-loving songs! 8/10
The Illusionist [2006]The Illusionist [2006]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.43
Set in Vienna in the 1900's The Illusionist stars Edward Norton as 'Eisenheim the Illusionist' a brilliant stage magician. Full of twists, a simply outstanding and magical film. 8/10
Blood Diamond [2006]Blood Diamond [2006]
Buy new: £4.58 / Used from: £2.97
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the charming, selfish and desperate anti-hero Danny Archer. Breathtaking soundtrack which alone brings a tear to your eye. Amazingly heart-wrenching and beautiful. 10/10
Knocked Up [2007]Knocked Up [2007]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.34
Starring Katherine Heigl as the attractive but unlucky E! Channel Correspondent Alison. Knocked Up is generally a funny movie and the plot works - it's just far to long for a comedy. 5/10
The Simpsons Movie [2007]The Simpsons Movie [2007]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99
Left me feeling very disappointed, not as great as it could have been, plot was overall poor. Possibly worth a rental for Simpsons fans, but prepare to be very dissatisfied with this poor effort. 3/10
300 [2007]300 [2007]
Buy used from: £1.21
The use of CGI to create a sense of fantasy to a true story, albeit a very long one, was used brilliantly. Although the film is a tad overrated and not as 'amazing' as people claim. 6/10
Disturbia [2007]Disturbia [2007]
Buy new: £3.88 / Used from: £3.19
Starring Shia LaBeouf as the slightly geeky but loveable teenager Kale. Disturbia is overall an enjoyable movie, although it was pretty mediocre and stupidly unrealistic near the end. 7/10
Severance [2006]Severance [2006]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.29
Absoultely so surreal and crazy it is brilliant! This may not be a masterpiece of cinema, but I think it's an excellent film which can make you laugh and on 1 or 2 occasions squirm a little. 10/10
1408 - Director's Cut Edition [2007]1408 - Director's Cut Edition [2007]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99
I enjoyed 1408, although it scared the hell out of me. The scenes are mainly inside the room, whereas the horror is really about the traumas lurking within one's own consciousness. 6/10
Stardust [2007]Stardust [2007]
Buy new: £4.87 / Used from: £3.10
A truly remarkable film - It's funny, dramatic, intense and best of all, a film for all the family. A great cast. 9/10
The Departed (2006)The Departed (2006)
Buy used from: £1.61
After reading some rather 'dodgy' reviews, I was unsure whether or not to get this film, but don't listen to the bad analysis as its well worth the watch! With a great cast and clever a plot. 9/10
Lucky Number Slevin [2006]Lucky Number Slevin [2006]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.38
This film has a great mixture of humour, suspense and mystery that is perfect for its genre. I wasn't too keen on the first half an hour or so because it takes a while for the action to begin. 8/10
Ocean's Eleven [2002]Ocean's Eleven [2002]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.39
An exciting and witty "how did they do that?" film. Great star Cast. Great Plot and overall great film! A must watch with the added eye candy for the ladies. 9/10
Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy [2003]Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy [2003]
Buy new: £12.70 / Used from: £17.49
The first two movies were outstanding but the third was... lets say... a drag... Johnny Depp shows his full potential in this films as does Bloom and Knightley. A recommended trilogy for all. 7.5/10
Premonition [2007]Premonition [2007]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.38
Okay, i actually enjoyed this film. I think it has a great storyline with one very powerful and meaningful message which everyone can relate to - "you can't change fate". 6/10
The Life of David Gale [2003]The Life of David Gale [2003]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.98
Starring Kevin Spacey as the once successful Professor in Philosophy David Gale, who seemingly had his life laid out nicely for him. What could possibly go wrong? 9/10
Family Guy Season 6 [2007]Family Guy Season 6 [2007] by Seth MacFarlane
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £8.40
It's silly. It's offensive. It's random. It hardly follows the plot. BUT it's still 'Freakin' Sweet!' 9/10
American Gangster Extended Edition [2007]American Gangster Extended Edition [2007]
Buy used from: £2.90
Starring Denzil Washington as Harlem drug-baron Frank Lucas and Russel Crowe as the honest cop Richie Roberts. American Gangster is enjoyable, it just lacked passion and seemed pretty bland. 6/10
Seven - 2 Disc Set [1995]Seven - 2 Disc Set [1995]
Buy used from: £3.45
Se7en is a disturbingly dark film which will leave you guessing until the brain-bendingly clever finale. Kevin Spacey plays the role as a psychotic, but intelligent madman to perfection. 8/10
Shrek [2001]Shrek [2001]
Buy used from: £4.20
Shrek is a film for all ages and the humour will have both adults and children laughing out loud. It is wonderously witty and very funny. Must have for all DVD collections! 10/10
