Billabong Odyssey

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
directed by: Philip Boston

January 31, 2005
Billabong Odyssey is one of the best, most brilliantly filmed big wave moview of all time. Not only is it genuinely tense and at some points (the end scene big wave surf contest is nail biting!!) it also deals with the future evolution of tow in surfing. The wave riding performances are astounding.

The only problem with this film, is the second DVD, which contains average shortboarding footage at low resolution.

BUY IT for the big wave scenes made via helicopter.

Michael Schumacher - The Complete Story

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
by: Michael Schumacher

July 14, 2008
I guess I was like the many people who gullibly bought this DVD thinking it would be the Michael Schumacher DVD we've all been waiting for, sadly i hadn't noticed the words 'Unauthorised' in the title and in this instance it means 'can't afford any racing footage or a decent narrator or an editor or any quality music, graphics and text etc etc.'

It has the production quality of a pre 1990's tv programme, the kind of thing u find on dodgy satellite channels, which re-use the same tatty looking archive clips over and over with no connection whatsoever to the narration - which inceidentally should be that guys last VO job -
'Luca de Montelezmo????!'

Honestly, keep waiting for the real thing, which hopefully will show ... Read More:

10 Minute Solution Pilates Collection (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk)

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

December 24, 2007
Overall a good value for money collection (I'm saving the pre-natal pilates for when i need it) Rapid results and pilates segments are very good and make you work target areas straight away.

Just note that Slim & Sleek pilates DOES NOT come with the resistance band! so I'm having to purchase one of those seperatley, would be better if came with the dvd as i believe if you purchase the slim & sleek dvd seperatley it comes with the band!

Fabulous Four - Featuring Hagler, Hearns, Leonard & Duran [1990]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
by: The Fabulous Four

August 06, 2001
What a pleasure to be able to get this on dvd.My old video gave up the ghost a while ago.These four really were superstars,different titles at different weights,different styles and personalities.Buy this and watch an era sadly gone,because boxing fans will never be this lucky again.Sugar ray my personal favourite,his hand speed has to be seen to be believed.Sadly the "no mas " fight isnt here when leonard completely humiliated duran who couldnt get near him or lay a punch on him and gave up.Still a wonderful reminder to us all what a fantastic era this was.

Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait [2006]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
starring: Zinédine Zidane
directed by: Philippe Parreno, Douglas Gordon

January 29, 2007
To say I was disappointed by this is an understatement. The idea sounded great and having heard the music in a shop I was even more interested in seeing it. But close ups of Zidane kicking his heels about sums it up. It lost all the pace and excitment that football is about and didn't even fill in the gaps in story of the game. They no doult were edited out in the name of 'art' along with some of Mogwai's music.
So one star for the original idea (I did liked the camera shot moving through the empty corridors and stairways, up and into the stadium arena) and one for the music, which was memorable, if a little sparce.

Clarkson - Supercar Showdown

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
by: Jeremy Clarkson

November 05, 2007
I actually bought this as an Easter prezzy for my 5yo son (he doesn't like choccy!)

He's autistic & fanatical about cars, bikes, Top Gear & Jeremy Clarkson!

My son has watched this DVD at least 10 times already & still bounces off the walls every time!

Whilst i fail to see the avid interest in everything he does (he watches the Audi Channel for petes sake!!!), i can wholeheartedly say that this DVD deserves every bit of his approval.

Clarkson is at his dry, witty best. His presenting is excellent all the way through - & even if you're not a fan i dare you not to find some of Clarksons commentary laugh out loud funny.

With 'Supercar' in the title the cars are, of course, fabulous. The ... Read More:

Manchester United - The Treble [1999]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Sports
starring: Manchester United FC

October 11, 1999
The classic commentary as UTD reached te European Cup final after beating Juventus.

Sporting history- Manchester United are the only team to win league Cup & European trophies in 1 season.

The DVD delves into UTD's run to glory from the heartache of 1998, the transfers leading to the new season, the Charity Shield hammering v Arsenal through to that glorious May.

The DVD ofers few extras but does it need any NO..... Just sit back and enjoy every goal and every key moment of the greatest year in football.

Throughout various stats show up on the screen to back UTD's greatness!

Enjoy and let's dream it happens again for the mighty Old trafford club!
