DVDs I Got For Christmas 2010

Just finished unwrapping my Christmas presents which included some DVDs. Love getting DVDs!

Doctor Who - Kamelion Tales I love my Doctor Who and the two stories contained in this set (Planet of Fire and The King's Demons) are two that I've not seen since they were originally transmitted. Planet of Fire marked Nicola Bryant's debut in the show and this set also includes a special edition of this story. I liked Peter Davison as the Doctor and I hope he takes part in the audio commentaries: he's usually good value in them.













Being Human (Series One) and Being Human (Series Two) 
I had mentioned these show in my review for the SFX Vampire Special magazine earlier this year. However, I'd not previously seen the programme. To put that right, I rented both series, but my series two experience was ruined because the second episode would not play properly (the disc was very badly scuffed). I knew enough by that time, though, that this would be a show that I could happily watch again. And now, thanks to my generous brother, I can!



Frozen

This is a film that I'm a bit uneasy about because I'm afraid of heights. However, it is directed by Adam Green who gave us the excellent slasher movie Hatchet. Most of the reviews I've seen for Frozen would indicate that it's an exciting ride. I'll strap myself in.



Defendor

Woody Harrelson as a home-made superhero. Sounds good to me! I'm not sure if this film will bear comparison to Kick-Ass or if it's a different sort of animal. Looking forward to seeing this one. There's also a nice collection of extras on the DVD which is always welcome.
