Catherine Tate

Kevin Eldon, Rebecca Front

BBC Warner, 2007

A Classic
I watched this first time round growing up in England around 10 years ago. When it was first released on DVD in the UK, I tried to bide my time hoping it would be released over here. It didn't work, however. I caved and bought it once about a year ago in Region 2 ...

Clean and Sober

Michael Keaton, Kathy Baker

Warner Home Video, 2004

Michael Keaton in rare dramatic role!!! Such a great film and a very underated actor!
This film is a keeper,the underated and always wonderful Michael Keaton(a very underated actor that we don't see enough of anymore) in rare dramatic film about the effects of cocaine abuse,and trying to kick the habit. Great supporting cast that includes Morgan ...

Space 1999 - 30th Anniversary Edition Megaset (17DVD)

Martin Landau, Barbara Bain

A&E Home Video, 2007

Nice Set for fans of the Classic Series!
It was nice to see the old series again. I haven't seen an episode since it's original run back in the day. It will take most fans a while to get thru this entire set of 17 Discs, with each episode over 50 minutes. The Series ran for 2 seasons and almost plays out like ...

Love and Other Disasters

Brittany Murphy, Matthew Rhys

IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT, 2008

Can't help that love/hate relationship with romantic comedies?
This movie is perfect! Wonderfully witty romantic comedy that constantly picks on the ridiculousness of the romantic comedy. Both a chick flick and a great guy comedy. And not what you'd expect from Brittany Murphy; a very welcome surprise.

Akira Kurosawa's Dreams

Akira Terao, Mitsuko Baisho

Warner Home Video, 2003

Dreaming in Shinto
As usual with most things I love, this film is not for everyone. It is very much an "art film" and you have to like that sort of thing, but there are a couple of extra elements here that will separate the wheat from the chaff in whether someone else will "like" this... ...

Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series

David Tennant, Catherine Tate

BBC Warner, 2008

Quite possibly the best season of Who *EVER*
I've been following Doctor Who for a long time. I wasn't able to do so actually FROM the beginning (I was only about 2 when it started!), but public TV in my area aired a lot of it. My favorite Doctor has always been a tie between Tom Baker's crazy-like-a-fox and the ...

Agatha Christie's Marple: Series 1

Geraldine McEwan, Christian Coulson

Acorn Media, 2005

The Bottom Line
I'll take the other reviewers' word for it: if you're a purist, pass on this one. However, if you simply want a marvelous fun, extremely well done series that's a joy to watch, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Doctor Who - First Season, Vol. 1

David Tennant, Billie Piper

Sci-Fi Channel, The, 2006

The new Doctor
I have been a Doctor Who fan for years and have enjoyed the series and the many wonderful actors who have played the Doctor. I must admit though, when I saw this first episode I was floored. Christopher Eccleston IS the Doctor. Although this was his one and only ...

The Catherine Tate Show - Series One

Catherine Tate

WHITE STAR, 2007

Care for a good roll on the floor?
Feeling down? Can't seem to smile about anything? Then watch this hysterically funny, bodacious series. Where has she been all my life? I was introduced to this show on BBC America and now just must see every show. In my worst of times, I cannot help but laugh my socks ...

The Catherine Tate Show - The Complete Second Series (US Format, NTSC, Region 1)

Catherine Tate Show

Kultur White Star, 2008

One word...Brilliant!!!
More great comedy from one of the funniest ladies (and her fantastic supporting cast) to come along in years. One of the great things about Catherine Tate is that she so totally transforms herself into these characters, and all the time spent in the makeup chair ...

Space 1999, Set 5

Martin Landau, Barbara Bain

A&E Home Video, 2002

a forgotten classic
I'm a junkie of Sci Fi, Horror and Fantasy and I'd never heard of this show when I came across it. When I read the tagline about it being an "adventure beyond space" I had to get it. I bought set 3 and set 5. The episodes in set 3 are not unlike Kubrick's 2001. Set 5 ...

Doctor Who - The Complete First Season, Vol. 3

David Tennant, Billie Piper

Sci-Fi Channel, The, 2006

Hugo Award winners 2006
It is worth noting that the two-part episode included on this disk, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, set in London during the Blitz, won the 2006 Hugo for best science fiction Dramatic Presentation Short Form -- and have the kind of dramatic quality that will hold ...

Space 1999, Set 6

Martin Landau, Barbara Bain

A&E Home Video, 2002

highly enjoyable
Im a big fan of both the first and second series of Space 1999. I remembered it being an unusual mix of 2001 and Saturday Matinee/Flash Gordon styled Sci Fi and that perspective really helped me to enjoy the show on DVD. Some of it is brilliant and some of it is just ...

Doctor Who - The Complete First Season, Vol. 2

David Tennant, Billie Piper

Sci-Fi Channel, The, 2006

THE LAST of the DALEKS....not!!
The 2005 season of the new & improved Dr. Who, includes the Doctor's return to Earth, only to find that he's returned his companion, Rose, home 12 months late! And there's this whole invasion of Earth thing going on too. Super effects worthy of a theater release, like ...

Doctor Who - The Complete First Season, Vol. 4

David Tennant, Billie Piper

Sci-Fi Channel, The, 2006

Fantastic season ender! Enter the NEW NEW DOCTOR!
Dr. Who is Forty (actually he's 900, but like the Doctor, the show had been around in one form or another since 1964). During March and through June the BBC celebrated by bringing the show back to television for its 27th season (or as it is more consistently called: ...
