DVD Review

INTRODUCTION I try to like this magazine, I really do. DVD Review is probably the best of numerous dvd magazines that are on the shelves at present in every newsagent up and down the country. As with every new lifestyle product, be it the latest console, or a TV show; a significant amount of these publications fail as initial excitement and interest in the product wanes. DVD Review magazine has firmly established itself as the leader of the pack and thus deserves acclaim for managing to hold off the competition so effectively. The number of subscriptions and copies flying off the shelves speaks for itself. So what is wrong with it? As you may guess ...  Read the complete review

As one of the original DVD magazines, DVD review is by far and away the most popular DVD specific magazine on the market, and quite rightly so. Over-priced (in my opinion anyway) along with all its rivals, this great mag will set you back about £4, which is a lot each month, although some savings can be made if you opt for a subscription. Giving the best variety of the DVD Scene, you will find in each months edition the latest news, Loads of region 2 DVD reviews, Many region1 DVD reviews (one of the few to regularly give the latest region 1 releases a chance) and a short section on hardware. In addition to this they include differing special features, charts, ...  Read the complete review

After buying a DVD player recently, I have been steadily building my DVD collection, but have found that it is well worth knowing in advance what exactly you are getting when you buy a disc. So many Region 2 discs on sale at the moment are disappointing in comparison to their American R1 equivalent, so it can sometimes be a mistake to buy the readily available R2 disc. DVD Review is a useful resource when it comes to deciding which DVDs are worthy of my hard-earned cash. Published monthly, it provides comprehensive reviews of all the best R2 discs on sale, and also has a section devoted to Region 1 DVDs. The quality of this magazine is very good, and ...  Read the complete review

Of all the DVD mags currently available, in my opinion DVD Review is the best of the bunch. It may not come with a free cover disc, but it makes up for this with great content, and does come with a free book every now and then i.e. Eyes Wide Shut, Fight Club, Gladiator. The layout of the mag itself is very well done, starting with the regular news round up from the world of DVD. Following this is a release schedule usually for the coming 6 months, which is very detailed, and i assume up to date. After a few features and the letters page, we get to the actual reviews. The reviews are always laid out very well and include details of the movie and all ...  Read the complete review

Back in my dark ages when I didn't have access to a PC and the wonder that is the World Wide Web (does anyone actually call it that anymore??) I had to resort to magazines to grasp knowledge and reviews of what interested me. My main interest now is mainly DVD and has been for the past 2 years almost. So before I was all netted up there was one magazine I would buy each month in order to quench my thirst for all things DVD related. This magazine was DVD Review. The magazine itself hasn't really changed much since it's launch in 1999. It still remains one of the most popular and well published magazines available. Each month it’s packed to the ...  Read the complete review
