I am going to order this as soon as its released. I have seen the theatre performance and been to the cinema twice. I dragged my partner along (not willingly) even he had to admit it was great. The scenery the fun and the music, make you forget everything for a couple of hours. I loved it even the bad singing is forgiven.

I have never watched a single episode of Sex And The City on tv, the whole concept and format of the show just didn't appeal to me, so when my mother in law asked me to go to the cinema to see the film, I was somewhat reluctant to go. However I went and was absolutely glued to the screen from start to finish!! The film was excellent and I felt that you didn't have to know anything from the tv series to watch it. Definetely a girls night in film with a bottle of wine and some tissues!

Before you consider the 5* reviews and purchase this set you should take the following into account. This is a gritty, hard and multi layered crime drama set in the world of drug dealing and use at the lowest social level. There's little glamour and the storline unravels slowly but at a consistent pace. The language is quite full on but never over the top or gratuitous.
However, the acting is first rate with the characters, especially the 'baddies' very real and strong. You can believe this is actual ... Read More:

As others have noted the box set is incomplete.

I pre-ordered this after the knowledge of the writers strike.

At that time it was known that season four was being cut into two halves for airing purposes. It was fully known that the second half is indeed that and is NOT season 5. This remains the case today as I type this review.

When I pre-ordered this it didnt have info on running-length so couldnt estimate the number of episodes as is now the case. It was advertised as season four ... Read More:

I watched the ITV production and loved this Kooky tale combining the "Life on Mars" format with to the "Pride and Prejudice" story, I loved the idea and have watched my Sky Plus copies over and over again.

But, I've just bought the DVD and found that a crucial scene is missing. In the 2nd episode, the part where Amanda Price sings "Down Town" in the drawing room at Netherfield Park and where it first shows Mr Darcy's attraction to Amanda, has been totally cut out. The DVD edition shows Amanda, Mr Darcy, Mr Bingley and ... Read More:

I pre-ordered the 2 disc special edition from Amazon and as promised it was delievered slap bang on my doorstep on its official release date. Well done Amazon. Anyhow saw the film at the pics, fantastic. Decided to buy this edition and boy what a waste of money. Stick to the normal edition. I thought there would be loads of interviews with the cast but there was just one with SJP and the writer Michael King. A look at the wardrobe dept. and a commentary on deleted scenes. Nothing too much to interest you there. If you are a big fan ... Read More:

Lost - The Complete Fourth Season [2008]
Best Selling > DVD > DVD
starring: Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan

October 20, 2008
The first three seasons of Lost seemed to have marked themselves as a kind of thematic trilogy. The worry presenting viewers and the writers now is how will this show live on for another three years after so much grandstanding storytelling of seasons past? Here in Season Four that fear is quelled to some extent where past, present and now future collide.

Admittedly, the fourth year begins rather disappointingly with a teaser opening that has neither the adrenaline fuelled charge of Season 1's Pilot, nor the dumbfounding revelation of ... Read More:

I know this is not out yet on Blu-Ray but i have watched the first 5 mins
of Dark Knight on Blu-Ray as it is on the special features on my Batman Begins Blu-Ray disc and judging by that this will be probably a must own title.

Honestly the opening scene of Dark Knight on Blu Ray on a big high definition TV with the sound cranked up is a jaw dropping experience!

Having been unimpressed with first series of The Wire, I only started watching this, the second series, due to the endless critical praise that I kept seeing every time I picked up a newspaper. And I'm glad I did. The second series of The Wire is a huge improvement on the first. The story is deliberately slow to get into its stride but nevertheless is compelling from the opening credits to the final fade. This is a high quality Police drama which shows the good and the bad in everyone; the criminals, the stevedores and the Police all have very human qualities, ... Read More:
