DVD recommendations
 

Seeing as Blockbuster is a bit of a rip off these days i joined the tesco DVD club and must say i`m very impressed, i pay £5,47 (ish) for 3 films a month and you can keep them as long as you want, send it back and then they send you another one from your list of choices....very impressed so far. Anyway i was wondering what people have been watching recently and what are your recommendations......?

Re: DVD recommendations
 

So to get the ball rolling..........30 Days Of Night.......bog standard vampire flick with above average special effects, i`ll not go into detail but it was nothing new and we turned it off before the end so i`d not really reommend it unless you are a bit bored, would be ok if it was on Film 4.

Richard does the same with lovefilm (amazon)

Re: DVD recommendations
 

The Tesco is Lovefilm powered and so i think are a lot of the online DVD clubs....;);) anyway what have you seen recently? and was it any good?

Re: DVD recommendations
 

So what happens if you send them back before the end of the month? Do your next choices get sent out immediately or at the start of the next month?

I'm with LoveFilm and get 3 DVDs for £15 per month, but as soon as they go back they are replaced. In practical terms, it means about 28 different discs a month, if I'm not too busy to watch them.

You get one film at a time and when one goes back another one is sent, if you have had all 3 before the end of the month you don`t get another till your your change over date. Its one of the Tesco Value packages although they do the same packages as you have mentioned.

Re: DVD recommendations
 

Hmmm. £5.47 for 3 DVDs a month (£1.82 per rental) compared with £15 for 28 DVDs a month (54p per rental).

Obviously Tesco uses some definition of the word "Value" of which I was not previously aware. ;)

Re: DVD recommendations
 

£1.82 per rental Tesco, £3.95 per rental Blockbuster, mmmm sounds like value to me, I also have a life so what possible use would 28 DVD`s a month be to me.....The Tesco rental is powered by LoveFilm and therefore offers the same packages as they do but comparing the sites the Tesco rental looks cheaper to me........each to their own i suppose.

Re: DVD recommendations
 

I have a family of five, so 28 DVDs a month is very valuable. As you say, each tot heir own.

Edit: I got it wrong - it's £15.99 a month, not £15, so the figures are slightly different, but still more value than Tesco (or indeed LoveFilm's current packages).

Re: DVD recommendations
 

I`ve still got 28weeks later to watch...loved the first one. I dont know if Hancock and IronMan are out yet on DVD but they were Ok apparently if you like that kind of thing.

I`ve also just started watching the West Wing which is a cracking series even though its 10 years old or whatever. You could always see if you can get series DVDs which have multiple episodes on then every month have a Sunday afternoon watching them

Re: DVD recommendations
 

`The Spiderwick Chronicles` (12)was last nights DVD treat for the littlest `un.....and what a good `un it was too, a bit Harry Potterish , full of mystical creatures and good special effects, slightly scary for small kids but great for the older ones......recommended.....:)

Re: DVD recommendations

Watched Hancock anorl! Now that was funny!
Would definitely recommend that

Re: DVD recommendations
 

Dark Blue World ........a British Czech joint production , ....follows the story of Czech Airforce pilots prior to and during WW2 in the RAF and their return to a Communist Czechoslovakia ....... Language .. 80% English with some sub-titles, rating .....well worth the rental

Re: DVD recommendations
 

`The Cottage` a britflick with Jennifer Ellison and Anthony Serkis(Gollum in LOTR) not what i expected but not too bad really, very violent and loads of bad language and after about 40 mins the film goes off in a completely different direction altogether...........but i won`t spoil the suprise.....:D

Re: DVD recommendations
 

Are you sure you don't mean Andy Serkis? Or Déagol? :eek:

Re: DVD recommendations
 

Thats the ******

Re: DVD recommendations

Re: DVD recommendations

Re: DVD recommendations
 

one of the best movies in recent years in my mind was Amelie

Re: DVD recommendations
 

`The Orpanage` looks like a good creepy old horror until i found out it was in spanish with english subtitles...!!!! i could have sworn i saw a trailer in english, so thats that dvd going straight back....:(

Re: DVD recommendations
 

Just watch out for them not being returned.

It was very common for them not to get back to them when posted back and then they sic you with a £20 bill for each one.

Which is the reason I & a colleague left despite us having definitely posting them.
(bit obvious they are a film dvd - easy for po staff to filch & then repost when they have finished with them).

Re: DVD recommendations
 

We watched The X Files 2 movie last night and i must say i was a little disappointed.......not an alien in sight , at best it was like an extended episode about the paranormal.... with the added bonus of Billy Connelly playing the part of a Paedophile physic
