Lost - The Complete Fourth Season [2008]

starring: Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan

October 20, 2008
How can this be the complete series when season 4 isn't even fully aired yet? Oh wait, it is ... with only 14 episodes! Sorry, but that's a rip off. The show is great, but it is also a lot of hype. And as is seems to be typical with Abraham's stuff, you never get the answers you really want. I thnk most of the people who fanatasize about this show would get a lot from the book "How to keep an idiot waiting... I'll tell you later" by JJ Abrahams.

Lost - The Complete Third Season [2007] [2005]

starring: Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan

The first series of Lost was excellent. It had a good basic idea, some interesting characters and some good plotlines (although some silly ones). Season 2 was a pleasant surprise, and was much better than I expected. Season 3 fulfilled all of my expectations, and was horrible.

I knew this was going to happen because of Alias. Alias was another great idea which ran on for far too long, and both series give me exactly the same impression. I imagine the writers sitting in a room at the start of each episode, and saying to each other "OK, now how can we jerk the audience around totally in this episode?"

Because that's all they do. They keep the suspense by constantly switching back and forth, making the good guys into ... Read More:

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set)

starring: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin
directed by: Peter Jackson

December 10, 2004
Not much else I can add to the heaps of adulation & praise already mentioned in other reviews - except to say this trilogy is my favourite movie....EVER! I never get tired of watching this epic (in fact each viewing seems to reveal something new) and I'm STILL in awe and wonder at the sheer scale of the production & talent that must have gone into making this abitious project come to life. It's nigh on perfect... A classic in every sense.

PS: I can only assume that the small handful of people that somehow think these movies are 'boring'(??!) must have their heads wired differently to the rest of us....!!

LOST - The Complete First Season [2005]

by: Emilie De Ravin
starring: Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan, Naveen Andrews, Josh Holloway

Bad acting, dull nonsense of a script, poorly paced and directed.
Anyone giving this pathetic excuse for a tv programme 5 stars must have a 1 star life.
Stop sitting indoors watching hour upon hour of this patronising rubbish and find some friends instead.
Preferably ones who don't like this bunk.

The title says it all these movies are amazing the storyline is amazing, the special effects are out of this world, acting is superb, the battle scenes are breathtaking. Peter Jackson is a genius no one thought anyone could do this but peter jackson prooved everyone wrong. I remember seeing all of them at the cinema they were breathtaking especially the battle senes. I have all 3 films but the first i have on VHS so soon i'm gonna need to buy this. THIS FILM IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended Edition) [2004]

starring: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan

December 10, 2004
The LOTR triology is one of those stories that you have to watch or read at least once in your life, and as I could never get into the novels I had to settle for watching the films instead - and they were incredible. The conclusion to the story does not let down it's previous installments and is more than a worthy ending for the trilogy. These are fantastic films that should be held up as an example of just how moving films can be if made correctly. A story I will always come back to. Incredible.

Unfaithful [2002]

starring: Diane Lane, Erik Per Sullivan, Richard Gere, Olivier Martinez, Myra Lucretia Taylor
directed by: Adrian Lyne

April 28, 2003
The acting and storyline are fantastic.

For once, a Hollywood film which parts from Hollywood story conventionality. There is no hero, no bad guy, no good guy, and no happy ending.

There is some brilliant acting, great filming, pretty good sex scenes (can't knock that), and an ambiguous end.

OK, anyone familiar with modern detective shows will know that the police bit is full of holes - the police would definitely have found and convicted the people they needed to (I won't say more, as I don't want to spoil).

But though the brilliant acting owes everything to Hollywood, the other good things about the film owe everything to its French origins.

All in all, a great film, which stands out against other much better known ones. ... Read More:

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) [2001]

starring: Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, Andy Serkis
directed by: Peter Jackson

December 19, 2001
"The world has changed, I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air...Much that once was, is lost
For none now live who remember it."
So begins the majestic prologue to the movie, The Fellowship of the Ring.
As the earth and all that is beautiful and good is threatened by a malignant evil, as `One by one,
the free lands

of Middle-Earth fell
to the power of the ring." Like the book, the movie is spellbinding and compelling in the true sense of the word, as we get to view Tolkien's Middle Earth come to life on the screen.
It is actually quite remarkable how the mythic world of middle Earth has been made so lifelike, and how intriguing it is on the big screen.
The script is brilliantly written and the cast is excellent. ... Read More:

Lost - Series 1-3 [2004]

starring: Dominic Monaghan, Evangeline Lilly, Naveen Andrews, Terry O'Quinn, Matthew Fox

I got this set largely because I had some Amazon cash given me, and the wife and I have enjoyed the show since we started watching (late in the first season). It was probably inevitable that we would get the DVDs, but this big box made the choice easier. And with this set, the box is really the main reason to spend the money.
Packaging on the individual seasons has not really been particularly attractive, or even in line with the aesthetic of the show itself; this box corrects that with a big, Hatch-inspired, Dharma-logo bedecked design. I showed it to a neighbour who's never seen the show, and when he saw the box he said, 'That box alone makes me want to see this!'
For the contents inside, there's probably plenty of information with each season box's listing here on Amazon, and this set ... Read More:
