I bought te set in August from amazon.com. We live in Japan which is really slow at showing new programmes from the US and UK and in the summer of they were still showing season 3! We couldn't wait and weren't disappointed. The medical cases as really bizarre and the new situation of House creating a new team is highly entertaining (although Foreman's position is not quite clear and doesn't quite fit the new situation it seems ... and its a bit strange to see Cameron more smiley and jolly). You do lose a bit of fizz towards the end of the series (the new team don't have that snap crackle pop like the old ones). However, the last two episodes are brilliant! It's just a shame the series was so short. The extras on the DVD set are a bit better ... Read More:

I was a latecomer to 'House' but better late than never.
Hugh Laurie plays the miserable yet brilliant Dr. House with some style. You almost forget he is a Brit.
I have watched many hospital dramas - ER, St Elsewhere, Casualty, etc, as there is something uniquely engaging about the medical environment. Those series have been mainly dramas while House is something else. It's a part drama, part sit-com and part geeky medical show.
The basic premise involves patients being admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with very mixed symptoms that complicate the medical diagnoses. House uses his talented young medical team to treat the symptoms but the patients usually take a turn for the worse upon treatment ... Read More:

After the triumphant debut of the first season of House, many people believed it couldn't be topped. How wrong they were. Season Two not only shut up all the skeptics, it slapped them for even being doubtful. Season Two not only had the absence of the annoying character of Vogler, it gave us a deeper insight into all the characters. At the end of Season One we were introduced to House's ex Stacy. During Season Two we're given a more complex look on their past and their true relationship. The Stacy/House episodes introduce to the fans a deeper complexity to House and we see a more genuine side, rather than the typically cynical House we're used to.
There is one episode which I found a bit too much and felt it was pushing to be controversial. I ... Read More:

While any release of Neighbours on DVD should probably be duly applauded, frankly I have my misgivings about this meagre collection. Imagine if the works of Beethoven were known to us solely via a condensed album of his most popular moments (such as 'Fur Elise', the finale of the ninth symphony and the 'Grosse Fugue')! Imagine if the great Bard of Stafford-upon-Avon were represented within the literary archives by a single volume of familiar speeches- robbed of any context within their respective plays! How could a reader even begin to unlock the innermost layer of spiritual profundity that is implicit within the "To be or not to be" monologue, without having first appreciated its role within the overall framework of 'King Lear'? Those who would seriously claim ... Read More:

Martin Shaw displays his versatility as an actor in the role of Adam Dalgliesh, bringing dignity and gravitas to this double feature. As in Judge John Deed, he has the ability to grip one as the main character around which the others revolve. A more contemplative persona in this, reflective of his position as a top ranking detective, these atmospheric and absorbing dramas keep the viewer guessing what will happen next. Recommended.

This movie will make you laugh and even make you cry.But the first 30 minutes are a bit of a bore and the dialogue a bit plain and uninteresting.However its worth seeing for the last hour or so.The chemistry between Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning is good - and the main reason to watch the film.

I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone under the age of 10. It is a great kids film - younger ones may not get the full plot but still have fun with it. Older ones will find it silly. There are some funny scenarios but as with most American movies, there is a moral. If you can get past that, it is quite entertaining and the acting is fairly good too.
Mary-kate and ashley have done films in many other contries, but lets just say that this isn't the best country they've filmed in, teh film is for teenagers as there are kissing scenes.

I'm an unabashed period drama lover, but the BBC's adaptation of Lorna Doone is by far, my favourite. Honestly, I found the book hard work, but the story is much better encapsulated in this production. John Ridd is the son of a farmer, murdered by the Doones, a hated gang of outlaws on Exmoor. John seeks to avenge his father's murderers but in the process falls for beautiful, innocent Lorna Doone, betrothed to the most evil Carver Doone. It's a story of the power of hatred, the strength of love and the journey one family takes to see justice done. The entire cast was perfect, ( I must say, Richard Coyle has a very sexy smile!) and Amelia Warner is Lorna to a T. Here you have swashbuckling excitement, mystery, romance, wit, humour and tragedy teamed with a rugged, ... Read More:
