The Dark Knight (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
from: Warner

I guess I'll voice my vote, this movie is OK. The good are the fight and action sequences, style is very much the same as first movie, the Joker is played very well, but logic of this movie never fails to be too stupid. Hmm, why does Batman make the decisions he makes (don't wanna spoil them), but they are quite irrational in real life. How Joker manages to escape from jail is so lame, but oh well. Charlie (I think that's the name), is for some reason changes his mind about Batman during hospital scene - I couldn't understand that. Also the character of Bruce's girlfriend is strange, she doesn't love Bruce, she loves Batman - why? Aren't they one and the same, guess not for her - it seems a bit silly, like her character wasn't well though out ... Read More:

This BBC DVD is amazing.
Having watched the series on TV it's even better now I've watched the extras on how they got the footage.

Wall-E

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Jeff Garlin, Kathy Najimy, John Ratzenberger, Sigourney Weaver, Fred Willard
directed by: Andrew Stanton

Wall-E is easily one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's perfect for kids, thought-provoking for older watchers, and hilarious for everybody involved.

Pixar has outdone themselves with their animation, and Wall-E is absolutely gorgeous. The titular robot is more expressive than most actors, and even without words his feelings, emotions, and thoughts are plain to see. The story is wonderful in a classic Disney way.

I can't recommend this movie enough!

The Dark Knight (Two-Disc Widescreen Special Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
from: Warner

The Dark Knight will soon be out, but there's no need to wait for the Xmas rush to see what people think about this movie, and chances are everyone has seen this except for my dad. But anyways, The Dark Knight, the successful sequel to Batman Begins is a good bit of movie. Although much of it gets a little muddled up by the failure that is the moral dilemma that Bruce Wayne/Batman faces. But the only thing that has to be said about this movie that makes it worth the purchase is Heath Ledger as the Joker. That's all you need to know, Heath Ledger's last memorable roll since I don't think that other movie he was making before his death won't be anything but someones poor joke over why the man killed himself. This movie should've actually been called ... Read More:

Jeff Dunham's Very Special Christmas Special

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Jeff Dunham

November 18, 2008
I have to say that even though I pre-ordered this DVD with great anticipation, I could not help but be disappointed when I finally got to watch it. Jeff Dunham's previous two DVDs, 'Arguing With Myself' and 'Spark of Insanity' were characterized by quick wit, clever writing and lots of energy on stage. However, this time around his act suffers severely from a lack of energy and enthusiasm, along with horrific pacing of routines. There are several times during the show where he simply does nothing on stage and draws laughter from the audience by looking like he can't remember his lines. While that may work with a live audience, it's completely ineffective against people watching a DVD because the atmosphere of the performance cannot be conveyed the same ... Read More:

Band of Brothers (Widescreen, 6 Discs)

While this is an extraordinary series...I don't agree with it being listed in the kids section. Teens perhaps but there are lots of very realistic war scenes and it would be better off listed under adult DVD's.
