25th Anniversary Live - Joe Jackson

A 25th Anniversary Celebration with "more than meets the eye" !!!

Advantages: An impressively accurate and very well made re-issue of a classic retro toy.
Disadvantages: The "dilemma" ... should I open and play or keep sealed and display ???

of toy technology. Robots that "transformed" into vehicles was probably the coolest toy concept to have hit the shelves and for those of you lucky enough to have owned some of the first generation Transformers toys you would have been the envy of your friends !!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FROM THE AUTOBOTS !!! 1984 was a long time ago but to mark that special anniversary Hasbro have released a commemorative 25th Anniversary Edition of the greatest Transformer of all time ... Optimus Prime !!! And, whilst the toys based on the CGI created Optimus Prime from this summer's blockbuster may look impressive nothing can quite beat the retro feel of the original Transformers toys ... and this Optimus Prime toy has been accurately produced so that it has both the look and feel of the 1984 original. MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE ...

The Young Ones Series 1 &2 - 25th Anniversary Ed

Advantages: all the episodes!
Disadvantages: nothing original extra :(

This is a double series set of DVDs to celebrate 25 years since the creation of the young ones on BBC. The Young ones was a sitcom broadcast on BBC two in the 1980's, written by Rik Mayall and Ade Edmunson it is about 4 students who attend 'Scumbag College' North London. Although set in north london it was actually filmed, well most of it actually in Bristol. The four students are called Rik Prick, Neil, Mike, and Vyvyan. Each can be seen to portray teenagers of different decades. Neil as the 1960's Hippy who studies peace studies, Mike as the 1950's 'happy days - like' Fonze (aka lady killer), Vyvyan as the 1970's Punk rocker (ironically studying to be a Doctor!), and Rik the anarchist studying Socailism. Although through all of the series's not once do we actually see any of them spend any time at thier institution, or working, nor ...

Review of The Young Ones - Series 1 & 2 (25th Anniversary Edition) (DVD)

The best album ever revisited

Advantages: The original tracks are great, Fergie's performance is good
Disadvantages: Tracks with Akon, Kanye West and Will.I.Am are a letdown

Repacked for the third time, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson is quite simply one of the best pop albums of all time. It is an album that inspired a generation of recording artists and its songs all stand up to the level of music being produced today. This 25th Anniversary edition has been received by some as something of a let down. It's fair to say the remix of Bliie Jean by Kanye West and the version of Wanna Be Startin' Something with Akon have really added nothing to the album. However, Fergie gives a good account of herself in "Beat It 2008" and how can you give this album anything other than 5 stars when it has the original "Thriller" album in its entirety, WITH bonus tracks. Also included is a DVD which features the Motown 25th Anniversary TV special 'Billie Jean' performance and the classic video for Thriller, as well as ...
