I don't know, maybe I don't understand the life at the palace, but I kept thinking why doesn't she just do her own thing and ignore the other royals and their customs and ceremonies. The background music was hideous.

Stunning documentary about a free style climber. Climbed alone with no equipment conquering many of worlds most difficult peaks. His climbing style is just unbelievable and the scenery is out of this world.

This alleged thriller from Mexico is is fact a horror. A murderous regime takes over a city, where it carries out atrocities. I watched most of it, but it seemed to be an orgy of violence with no redeeming features.

A young Jewish woman muses about faith and god. Zzz... watched about half of the film waiting for something to happen.

I can't believe that in such a recently made dvd there are no subtitles. I couldn't understand most of the dialog. Pity.

Unfortunately, there are no subtitles. I could only vaguely follow the plot. It's all a bit grim up there in the Scottish highlands.

I am sure this is an accurate description of the care system in the UK, but it's so relentlessly depressing, it will make you afraid of old age.

Time travelling team go back in time chasing another time traveller who is meddling with historical events. Not very engaging. Bad acting/casting perhaps. Lacking in humour or any kind of charm. Gave up after 3 episodes.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series, but I cannot believe the ending. There is no ending. It just stops. I must have missed something deep and meaningful.

Enjoyed the first 5 series, but in series 6 the cast changed and it no longer worked for me. It's not really the kind of program I usually enjoy, but the early series were tongue in cheek and enjoyable. After that it was just a lot of violence and shooting with not much else.

Watched 3 episodes and lost the will to live. Over complicated yarn jumping all over the place. A doctor tries to save his wife's life after she is refused treatment. He fakes her death and keeps her in a coma in an underground clinic where he makes a living treating criminals. Really?

Quite an old fashioned b/w movie about the queen Elizabeth's favourite pirate. The picture and sound are surprisingly good, which makes it reasonably watchable. The dialog and casting seem dated, but in spite of that it is entertaining and even funny.

A truly awful film. Starts promisingly, but then seems to get stuck in a groove of loutishness. A bunch of outback yobs go on a drunken rampage. There is a repulsive episode with real footage of kangaroos being hunted. The film does have a story to it, but it's completely lost in the awfulness of it. The only redeeming feature is Donald Pleasance, who is both funny and nasty at the same time.

I enjoy a bolywood film as much as the next person, but are we really expected to speak the indian languages? I wish the movie details on the website gave some language and subtitle information.

Slightly different interpretation of the Spartacus story, which I found a pleasant surprise. However, the casting to my mind was a little off. The whole film had the air of a bunch of office workers on a weekend outing of a historical reenactment society. The gladiators didn't seem very fit and were kind of almost middle aged. Spartacus himself was in my opinion sadly miscast, unconvincing and a little chinless. Having said that, on the whole I did enjoy the film.
