Under-rated band gets new lease of life
Bear Vs Shark are one of those bands, too heavy for the indie kids, too indie for the hardcore kids.

This is discordant indie rock with powerchords, or post hardcore to some. Indie gone punk. And it's done brilliantly. Here their first two albums get remastered and put on one disc. The gruff gravel vocals are raw and blistering and Buses No Buses is just an anthem. Brilliant band and so underrated

Probably my favourite from season 18 saved the best for last not perfect not the best forth doctor story by any means but a good way for the doctor to go out after 7 years in the part. will always be my number one doctor the one I grew up with back in 70s now I've watched it in hi definition it looks amazing. But the worst part still for me is adric didn't like him then but I suppose now I tolrate his character. Good story

Couldn't put it down
I couldn't put this book down till I finished it. Eleanor is like any 9-5 working adult who works her way through the week and has drinks at the weekend. She is hilarious and thinks exactly what everyone is thinking. But is not like anyone else. This book is the only book that has made me laugh so hard, then cry so much within half an hour. The story is amazing and I highly recommend it

None of this is cliche. These are fresh ideas from a great imagination (0 more)

Original horror
Junji Ito has an amazing imagination. I feel often in the West the story tellers try really hard to explain every detail. In Japan things can just exist and it's so refreshing and means you can just dive into a story and experiance it.

These are some crazy wonderful stories to give you chills. Stories I've never even conceived before. I'm going to order his others now. It's a must have

I was not a big fan of the original as a child much preferring other Disney classics but I did enjoy this. I disagree with others, I think Dumbo is a film that was In need of an update. I though visually it was fantastic and the elephants were amazing. Dumbo was very cute. I liked the characters but found the plot a little dull at times and drawn out. This is much much longer than the original. My children found it hard to sit through it all.

Hang in there!
Amazing program plenty to watch, you will have to hang in there though as it seems repetitive and slightly dull around season 6 same old story same old problems but it gets good again!!!

Sad story of a girl and her brother both lost as they have just lost both there parents, to add to there pile of problems Elena fall in love with a vampire, it gets worse it gets good in this romantic drama.

If your patient enough you might enjoy all 8 seasons!

2004 | Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Loved this one, it's not perfect but its surprisingly entertaining given that Will Smith doesn't go completely over the top with his acting style which is very Marmite for some.
He plays the part with quite convincing paranoia and struggles with memories that he cant quite reconcile.
Action set pieces are quite amazing and complement the story without engulfing it.
The animation on the robots as in Transformers is flawless and believable.
A movie that makes you think and is not just your run of the mill action flick.

Rolling Stone's 494th greatest album of all time
"Time to Pretend" is an amazing start to this album. Such an uplifting anthem.
The next couple of songs are forgettable Bowie-esque songs. Nothing wrong with them but nothing stands out about them.
"Electric Feel" is a good indie Scissor Sisters song, but is instantly forgotten as soon as "Kids" comes on. That is such a thumping anthem as well.
Sadly thereafter it is back to forgettable, Bowie-esque ditties. Some of these remind me of Liam Lynch's album of generally nonsense pop songs.
