My wife loves romantic movies, and I am willing to indulge her taste. This is really a movie about romance as depicted by the movies but it is still a romantic movie and something of a classic. It also has the advantage of complying with her high standards for family suitable viewing while still having its own touch of comedy and drama. The acting is great, the plot doesn't require too much suspension of belief, and we both enjoyed it. We are happy to add it to our collection for seeing again as it has both quality and class.

As with Planet Earth and Blue Planet, this set by the BBC has stunning photography, superb and informative commentary, and is well worth seeing if you want to be informed about the planet we live on. If you own other BBC natural history documentaries and enjoyed them, then deciding to get this one should be a no-brainer. Take care that you don't duplicate anything you already own, since South Pacific and Wild Pacific appear to be the same. Personally, I think the other three in this set are worth the price on their own, and you can always sell or trade a duplicate. We love these BBC documentaries for content, presentation and quality which are all first class.

If you can temporarily buy into the notion of mind powered time travel then you should enjoy this romantic excursion into the past that is suitable for family viewing. It is well acted with a convincing period setting and a fun romantic plot. It is fairly predictable but a few things may take you by surprise. A definite keeper that I would enjoy seeing another time.

This is an old style romance with some extra adventure and excitement to it that blends into a refreshing and enjoyable combination suitable for family viewing. The fantasy part involves someone who died interacting with those he left behind. I think it maybe deserves an extra half a star and might have made it a 4 but for the fact I much prefer realism to fantasy. The story is fairly predictable but fun all the same. I couldn't rate it a favourite but I also wouldn't mind watching it again, so it's a keeper.

This is a beautifully produced version of the MT with a clear typeface and top quality printing. Many of the proper names are purposefully done in a fainter greyed font but are still clear and readable. The footnotes to aid reading are very well done so they only minimally interfere the text but are still handy for reference when you need them. Q&K are in the main text rather than having Q as a footnote. It is not what I was used to but is in some ways clearer and better than having Q as a footnote. Despite the considerable volume of content the work is amazingly compact without having excessively thin pages. These have a substantial feel to them and the print on the reverse does not show through except when held to the light. My other Hebrew texts are hardbacks, and I might have preferred this in hardback, though the leather binding is of excellent quality and I am quite satisfied with it. My only wish is that I had waited to get the combined Hebrew and Greek Testaments rather than buying them as separate volumes. As it is, this is my favourite text and the one I use on a regular basis. I highly recommend it. For someone like me, who does not need an interlinear but does need some translation assistance, it is the best I have seen anywhere.

This Imax film transported to Blu-Ray is a documentary showing scenery from Venezuelan Tepuis, the ruins of Tikal, modern New York and a variety of other places. The story is woven together as an ecological message that civilisation has always been dependent on the biodiversity of its environs, with the implied message that if we damage, destroy or manipulate our environment without understanding what we are doing, we will destroy ourselves. The scenery is amazing, though not all of it showed on our equipment to the high standard we usually expect from Blu-Ray, perhaps because the frame rate was a little low or the mastering was not quite up to HD 1080p standards. Even so it has a beautiful scenery and an instructive and important message. Not as good photography or narration as Planet Earth or Wild China, but still very much worth having.

Shame about all the bad language, but it was important to the plot. This is a key piece of history of which we should all be aware. It is presented in a factual, sensitive and moving manner. Before seeing this I had no appreciation of the true nature of George VI's speech impediment, nor did I realise the obstacles he faced in overcoming it, nor did I appreciate the enormous historical impact of the man who helped him win through in the end. I am truly glad to have seen it.

Despite the Amazon claim that this device can send/receive fax without the use of a computer, it cannot do this. There is no telephone connection, no keypad for a phone number, no send/receive button, nothing in the manual to say it can connect to a phone line or handle faxing, and nothing on the Brother web site to say it can fax. We wanted and expected a fax capable printer, so though it was promptly shipped and arrived astonishingly quickly, we also promptly returned it. It may be a fine printer and copier, but it is NOT a fax machine. Amazon needs to remove any mention of fax in connection with this printer.

We bought this set on the strength of having seen the Planet Earth documentary series on DVD, which was great, but on Blu-ray it is even more impressive. The documentaries are interesting in themselves, but they are especially good for my mother, who has Alzheimers. There is just the moment by moment experience with no real plot to follow, but every moment of that experience is packed with fabulous cinematography. Mom can watch these over and over and enjoy them equally every time without needing to track what is happening for more than a couple of minutes at a time, but I think they are worth anyone seeing more than once. They are so packed with gorgeous photography and information that just once isn't really enough, and the organisation and agenda behind each show and series is also engaging.

Galapagos is a fascinating exploration of the island chain geologicaly, biologicaly and historicaly. The China series covers the land, people and history with a focus on the present geography and sociology. It is a truly superb nature documentary. So far we have not seen the Ganges series, but we anticipate several engaging evenings if the others are anything to go by. In my estimation the set was well worth the price and is quite possibly the finest combination pack of nature documentaries available on Blu-ray today.

We bought this screen because we were upgrading our home theatre from a DVD player plus a good office projector showing on a pale grey wall to a BluRay and 1080p HD projector, so we wanted a screen. The wall was great but had some small finish imperfections that HD would turn from minor annoyances into serious problems. I was going to make our own fixed screen, but given the price of materials and concerns about my own inexperience we decided to go with this professionally built retractable screen that would cost very little more.

This screen is LONG so you will probably need help mounting it, though I managed alone by being very careful and precise in placing the screws before putting it up on the wall.

The result is very pleasing. We still have the wall so a comparison is possible. At 480p you really don't notice a lot of difference. The screen is better but the wall was very good, much better than I had thought. At full 1080 there is no comparison - the screen has a flawless surface that is vastly superior and the result is fabulous. The projector is mounted in the same spot but now the picture almost fills the screen and the detail, seating moved up from 16 ft to about 12 ft, is amazing. It gives me about the same feeling as going from a TV to the original projector that produced a widescreen image half the area and about 15% of the pixels.

Probably I'll feel the same if/when we move to high definition 3D some years hence, but the screen should still be good for that even if we have to replace everything else. I call that a worthwhile investment.

There is a bit of curl at the extreme edges of the screen that might cause distortion there if the picture completely filled it, but since our picture (as big as we can get without moving the projector mount) is about 4 inches in from the black border on each side there is no problem. It is not a high gain screen but since our room has very little ambient light our new Optoma HD2200 projector produces a clear, bright image with good blacks. I expect this screen would make an HD20 or any similar 1080p HD projector look as good in the same setting.
