Batman Begins [HD DVD] [2005]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman
directed by: Christopher Nolan

November 20, 2006
'Batman Begins' is a no-brainer. Even if you are only casually interested in the film, you should definitely check this one out to see the HD DVD format at the top of its game. Terrific transfer, awesome Dolby TrueHD soundtrack and tons of extras -- including some genuine HD bonus content -- make this one the A-list HD DVD release to beat. Now is a very good time to be an early adopter!

Benidorm - Series 1

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Johnny Vegas

April 28, 2008
Well I have to say,6 episodes are just not enough.
How I laughed from start to finish.
Having worked as a holiday rep many moons ago I have met every single one of these charactors ten fold[yes including swingers and a knocked up daugher only this one was 14 not 16].
My husband is foreign and he was crying laughing thinking all brits abroad behave this way.Of course I told him that wasn't the case but to be honest there are more people like that on holiday from the UK then we would all care to admit.

The episode of swingers and Madge in the buggy,well,it just finished me off.I have never laughed so much at anything in my life.
I bow down to the writers of this,I cannot wait for series two to come out on DVD as ... Read More:

Supernatural: Limited Edition Complete Season 1 & 2 Box Set (Exclusive To Amazon.co.uk)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jim Beaver, Samantha Ferris
directed by: David Nutter

October 29, 2007
This is a brilliantly well written, well acted and visually stunning show. As well as the horror themes, which are often quite intense, it is packed with humour and so many tributes to many other shows and movies of the genre. It's also littered with rock music trivia, some I got straight away e.g. "Fathers Simmons and Frehley" and the Blue Oyster Cult motif etc. but no doubt many others I have missed due to the fast pace of the show.
The two stars click well as brothers with more than their fair share of brotherly issues as they search for their missing father and to avenge the death of their mother. As they journey across America, funded by their skills as con-men, they meet all manner of legends, urban myths, serial killers as well as demons. ... Read More:

Davina McCall - High Energy Five [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Davina McCall

December 03, 2007
I've owned fitness DVD's before & have found them to be repetitive, boring & uninspiring... & have, not surprisingly, very quickly lost interest.

This is the first 'celebrity' fitness DVD i've bought as i hate the whole celebrity culture thing & have refused to buy into it. However, i've read time & again how good Davina's workouts are & as celebrities go i don't mind her too much!

Firstly i want to say if you can't stand Davina (as i know many people can't) DON'T rule out this excellent DVD - one of it's extra's is a mostly music version with little vocal input from the lady herself!

This DVD is fantastic! The workouts are great & Davina & her trainers are really engaging. Davina isn't ... Read More:

Top Gear: The Challenges 2

More Petrol-headed hilarity.

Race across London is priceless. Have they not heard of a jet pack or a plasma powered horse?


Haha.

Nice to see the blurb on the back of the DVD
"This time with menus that aren't incomprehensible"

and they have conted the challenges properly unlike on Top Gear The Challenges. (Says there are 7 but there are eight).

Buy this DVD and other Top Gear DVD's. They are all first class entertainment.

Doctor Who - Series 4, Volume 1 [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, Bernard Cribbins, Sarah Lancashire

June 02, 2008
Not since Bonnie Langford have people feared the return of another red-headed companion... I know a lot of people were less than pleased to hear that Catherine Tate was to be brought back for this series, but I personally enjoyed her portrayal of Donna (even if I didn't love everything about her Christmas special episode).

The character needed depth, and she got it. Left feeling disillusioned since The Runaway Bride she manages to find The Doctor and pretty much invite herself into the TARDIS - and I'm glad she did. Since Doctor Who was re-launched it has managed to capture some brilliant moments. With Catherine Tate in the series, you always knew the writers would tap into her comedy credentials, and the scene from the first episode where Donna and the Doctor mime ... Read More:

Bee Movie [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Jerry Seinfeld, Renee Zellweger
directed by: Steve Hickner, Simon J. Smith

May 19, 2008
We took our son to see this around Christams time, he was a month away from his 3rd birthday and this was his first trip to the cinema. He totally loved it and was thrilled to see it on such a big screen!! Even now 6 months later we can't drive past the cinema without him shouting "look that's where we went to see the Bee Monvie". He loved it, and when he got a Bee Movie top form my friend for his birthday he wanted to wear it everyday! My husband and I thought that it was reasonably entertaining, the jokes weren't bad and some of the humour has many levels so adults can find things funny in a different way. I am not particularly a Seinfeld fan, so have not been swayed in that way. It's just a nice, innocent kids film; visually stunning and relativily funny. We enjoyed watching our son enjoying ...

Run, Fat Boy, Run [2007]

directed by: David Schwimmer

To say that this film was a disappointment would be an understatement of epic proportions. It was so poor that it had me cringing at times. Proof that a good cast and crew does not always make for a great film. For me, it seems to get caught between two stools, it's neither a great comedy, nor a great romantic comedy - there's little believeable romance and very little comedy which when considering Simon Pegg's other great work was surprising. I think it took me 10 minutes to raise a smile and perhaps I laughed once throughout the film - and what humour there was could be spotted a mile off to anyone with a half a brain...as could the entire story. It was almost like a British, rom-com by numbers - a slight variation on a thousand of films before it, same characters, same iconic London locations, same cool ... Read More:

Pilates Weight Loss Workout For Dummies

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
from: Starz Home Entertainment

December 26, 2005
In terms of an introduction to pilates its pretty good, but the woman who takes you through it looks like a body builder ( i can't say that i was excited about the prospect of looking like her once i'd had a few goes!) and she is american and insanely irritating with a fixed fake smile on her face through every move. Its a little bit disturbing. If you're looking to lose weight i'd stick to something like 'Charlie Brooks's before and after workout' which includes a pilates based section which is much better and A LOT less irritating!!
