40th Anniversary Editions Box Set - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Bond's 40th Anniversary!

Advantages: Classic Bond moments in first half of the film.
Disadvantages: Gadgets ruin the film, as does John Cleese as Q.

Madonna who sang the title song of the film has been given a cameo part. Her scene is completely under lit and leaves her looking rather butch. By the way the title song is not one of the memorable ones in the series and can be quite annoying after hearing it a few times. Released in 2002, the film marked the 40th Anniversary of the franchise. The Gun Barrel sequence was adjusted slightly, a number of reference to all previous films were made throughout the film itself, the most obvious one being in the scene with the new Q where a whole scope of gadgets from previous adventures are seen. , and the use of the Aston Martin made a welcome and long overdue return to the screen as Bond's car of choice as the BMW's were not used in the film at all. The Aston Martin is put to much more use than previous film as Bond uses the car throughout ...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Advantages: Fully re-mastered, outstanding quality
Disadvantages: Dick Van-Dyke's poor cockney accent

that is mentioned more than any other film. This is, Walt Disney's - Mary Poppins. Imagine my surprise when having not seen this classic creation for about 10 years when my boyfriend gave me a little surprise? the DVD - 2 Disc, 40th Anniversary Edition.

Review of Mary Poppins (40th Anniversary Edition) (DVD)

The Original Belle de Jour

Advantages: A classic of French cinema
Disadvantages: Challenging at times

, the film is far from straight forward and from start to finish the viewer is continually challenged by the emotional intricacies of the leading character and the hidden meanings that dominate her life. There is one famous scene in the brothel where a large Chinese client approaches clasping a small enamel box. One women refuses his offer, but Severine accepts. Inside there is something buzzing but we never see what it is nor what occurs between the client and Severine. There are plenty of surreal like moments in this film and the separation between the world of fantasy - Severine's fertile imagination and her mundane reality - is never wholly apparent. The DVD was produced almost 40 years after its original cinema release in 1967. The DVD extras include an interesting 30 minute documentary about the history and making of the film and there ...
