Barbie and the Diamond Castle [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
directed by: Gino Nichele

September 08, 2008
Just watched this and it's the usual fantastic Barbie quality with songs that High School Musical should have stolen ! I'm afraid some element of threat in a good verses bad storyline is inevitable (re. the previous review), I'm afraid it's just part of training for life. It's a Barbie video for goodness sake, it makes Disney stuff look evil !

Blood Ties - Complete Series 1

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Christina Cox, Dylan Neal
directed by: Peter DeLuise, David Winning, Andy Mikita

January 28, 2008
There are absolutely ZERO subtitles in this box set. Be them english or otherwise. I found the series to be average and the acting really poor. But if you've nothing to do at least it's worth the £9,98 I payed for it but no more!!!

10 Minute Solution - Target Toning

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
by: 10 Minute Solution

December 26, 2006
I love this DVD. Its easy to fit in the 10 minute workouts and to mix and match as you feel like. She explains really well how to do everything and keeps reminding you throughout the particular exercise what to do. I am definitely fitter, feel great and am more toned. No annoying chatting either - just clear instructions and encouragement!

One Tree Hill - Series 3

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Chad Michael Murray, Craig Sheffer, James Lafferty, Moira Kelly, Paul Johansson

October 23, 2006
The episodes of this series are fairly entertaining but the antics between Dan and everyone who hates him are getting a bit repetitive ( I find that the episodes I like best are the ones where Dan is seen least) and Hayley and Nathan's hot-cold marriage has become as bland as the music playing in Peyton's club.The most believable and memorable scenes were between Peyton and her birth mother, Ellie.I was hoping to see more basketball action in this season but there wasn't much really.
The rivalry between Brook and Rachel made for good viewing and helped sustain my interest.

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

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan

October 22, 2007
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 bad guys and ... Read More:

Dallas - Season 9

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Larry Hagman, Victoria Principal, Barbara Bel Geddes, Linda Gray, Howard Keel

September 22, 2008
I have to say I love Dallas but found this season a bit hard going at times,Patrick Duffy's Bobby is sorely missed,the glances between Bobby and his ex wife Pam(Victoria Principal)were what kept fans glued to Dallas over the years,yearning for them to get togethor again.
Barbara Bel Geddes makes a welcome return as Miss Ellie,its interesting to find out in the documentary on this DVD,"Dallas:Seasons of Change" that when Barbare Bel Geddes after qutting over a pay deal,asked for her role back,when Donna Reed was announced as her replacement,was told it was too late.
This turned into a disaster for Dallas,Donna Reed was so different from the orginal Miss Ellie,more glamarous and not as Mumsy as the orginal,that Miss Reed was dropped after one season,BBG ... Read More:

One Tree Hill - Series 1

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Hilarie Burton, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson
directed by: Bryan Gordon

September 05, 2005
I got this as a christmas gift after many hints that I wanted to see it. Whilst this season is my least favourite of the four that I have seen at the time that I'm writing this, it is still amazing. In this season they focussed a lot on basketball, sometimes a little too much for my liking but other than that it was amazing. Favourite characters in this season are definately Lucas, Brooke and Karen and for some reason I don't like Peyton in this season as much as later ones although I'm sure in rewatching it I would like her. The villain as it is through most of this season as well as others is Dan and Paul Johannson plays him so very well.

I'd say that this is definately a must have. I myself had NEVER seen the show on TV and now I can't imagine not having the ... Read More:

this film is an absolute must see!

it will make u laugh and cry it will make you want to run to your best friend and give her a hug and tell her how much u love her

i have watched this film about a hundred times but i don't get sick of it it's just amazing not to mention the main song is my favourate of all time (maybe because of this film??) Wind Beneth my winds needs no introduction everybody knows it and if you listen to the lyrics it basically tells you the story of beaches

it's about two girls who meet when they are just 11 years old and just instantly become the best of friends even though they are complete opposites CC is brassy and bubbly and Hilary is quiet and shy, i think this is what makes it more interesting and the ending always ... Read More:

Gilmore Girls - Season 1

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
starring: Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, Edward Herrmann

February 06, 2006
Visit the quirky and cozy dreamworld town of Stars Hollow and you'll feel right at home. I haven't enjoyed a show with such quirky characters since Northern Exposure. The language is fast, funny, intelligent and dizzy but it works. It should have been alot more popular over here and probably would have if it aired in the evening but it feels right it airs during the day for some reason.

The Little Mermaid 3: Ariels Beginning [2008]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > DVD
by: The Little Mermaid

September 22, 2008
This film is awsome! It really does make the little mermaid trilogy complete. Finding out about ariels mother n about family life that you dont get to know about in the first movie. This film is a lot better than the second film they created with melody (ariels daughter) the animation was rushed and story didnt seem to be as thought out as the other two. So it was nice to watch the final film as it should be. If your fans of the little mermaid then you defo need to buy this film! I grew up with ariel since I was 3 and now being 21 I still luv to watch them over and over again! :)
