The Planets (BBC) R2 2-Disc £15
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/planets.jpg
"After numerous delays, The Planets has finally arrived.
This documentary series was first broadcast in the UK in 1999, and the
DVD was announced for release with the first batch of BBC titles -
suffice to say, it didn't make it in time and we had to wait a few more
months...
Split into eight parts, The Planets covers almost every aspect of the
solar-system. It looks at space travel, geology, the moon, stars,
planetary atmospheres along with a few predictions for the future. The
series makes extensive use of CGI effects to simulate the various
planets and spacecraft, and while not quite up to the standard of
Walking With Dinosaurs they are still very impressive.
The series offers many theories on the evolution of the solar-system and
the formation of the planets - it's fairly difficult to see which
television audience the makers were aiming to cover, while some of the
material is quite detailed other things are glossed over and it gives
the impression that they were trying to appeal to as many age groups as
possible. All in all, this makes for a very interesting series and was a
natural choice for the BBC to launch their DVD line-up.
If I had to list my top five DVDs, this disc would be among them. Not
only do we get around six and a half hours of content, the presentation
is also spot on. The BBC really have done a great job with their first
few releases, and I'm happy to recommend this disc as a must have for
any DVD owner with even just a slight interest space and space
exploration... "

The Ringer R1 £7
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c376/GPR79/ringer.jpg
" Peter and Bobby Farrelly have always expressed an especially warm but
unsentimental attitude in their films toward those with disabilities,
most notably in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY and SHALLOW HAL. THE
RINGER, which they produced (but neither wrote nor directed), takes this
trait to feverish new heights. JACKASS-cum-leading man stars Johnny
Knoxville as office schmo Steve Barker, whose request for more
responsibility at his job indirectly results in the severing of four
fingers from the hand of Stavi, the mild-mannered office janitor. When
Steve requests financial help from his morally-questionable gambling
addict Uncle Gary (Brian Cox), Stevie finds himself posing as Jeffy an
athlete in the Special Olympics whose victory against track champion
Jimmy (Leonard Flowers) could spell an end to Uncle Gary's debts and the
reattaching of Stavi's fingers. Though a basic description of its
premise would make most viewers cry foul, THE RINGER skirts the obvious
charge of exploitation by making the mentally challenged characters the
only ones to realise that Steve is only acting handicapped. Steve's
fellow Olympians are cast with a combination of veteran character actors
and real-life former Special Olympians (most notably Edward Barbanell,
John Taylor, and Leonard Flowers) who, while lending the film
authenticity, also spark with comic timing and the true joy of being on
camera. Knoxville once again makes an affable hero, and Ricky Blitt's
screenplay, while crass by nature, keeps true vulgarity at bay in favour
of a good nature that makes simplicity an asset."
