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
When first dragged by my wife to see the cinema releases of the three films, years ago, I went like a snail unwillingly but really enjoyed them. Since then, we acquired the VHS versions of the same and watched them about once annually. This extended version, however, is so much better, fleshing out some of the characters and some of the story-line.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy was once called, by a German friend of mine (who never saw it!), "poor man's Wagner" and it is true that there are elements of the "Ring of the Nibelungen" in Tolkien's epic tale (which, perhaps, was why Jewish groups apparently attacked the first of these films on release, Wagner having believed that Jews were trying to dominate the world by the money power). ...

50 First Dates [2004]

starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Lusia Strus
directed by: Peter Segal

September 13, 2004
Not being a great fan of Adam Sandler - i was very apprehensive about watching this DVD - what a surprise , not a lugh out loud comedy , but a very well thought out light hearted romantic drama very much in the genre of the beautiful Alec Baldwin film "Prelude to a Kiss" . Gentle , understanding and warm . You'll love this one - it will captivate you the further you watch it .

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
Yes this is a fantastic conclusion to Peter Jackson's retelling of Tolkien's classic fantasy tale of good versus evil. I would like to point out though that in my experience you will get so much more out of the movie if you have read the book BEFOREHAND.

This applies to most movies that are based on books. I also found this with the Harry Potter movies, so I always read the book before the movie was released, and enjoyed the movie much more because of it. The lord of the rings is probably my favourite book of all time, so give it a read if you havent already done so.

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!!!!!!!!!

Click [2006]

starring: Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, Henry Winkler, David Hasselhoff
directed by: Frank Coraci

I thought this film was great, different from other films. It's original and it's funny and I thought it was brilliant. It's a very entertaining film - I doubt you'd be disappointed if you bought it! I think it's definitely worth viewing. I don't personally know anybody who doesn't like this film, but obviously it's not what some people expected, hence the other reviews.

Seen this at the cinema and a couple of times on TV.Bought this to try out my new KEF Kit 100 system and was not disappointed.Still makes you think how young these "men" were and a visit to the American War Cemetery at Madingley nr Cambridge only confirms this.

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:

Masters Of Science Fiction - Complete Series 1 [2007]

starring: Anne Heche, Terry O'Quinn, Sean Astin, John Hurt, Malcolm McDowell

February 25, 2008
I saw an episode on TV then shortly after I bought this DVD, I was skeptical at first as this one didnt do quite so well as Masters of Horror and got a cruddy review to boot...anyway as it turns out Masters of Sci-fi is worth your time, Mick Garris delivers another good show.
