Review by Leonardo Feliciano

Prince Caspian drifts away from safe Disney territory to a darker storyline, more action and deeper characters. This box set includes an exclusive bonus disc of extras for Japan with interviews, behind the scenes and design of Narnia. Included 30 cards with artwork and pictures of the movie. A must have for every Narnia collector.

This is the third installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. This time around, Jack Sparrow is saved from Davy Jones' locker in order to release the sea goddess Calypso with the help of the pirate lords to defeat Lord Becket and ultimately Davy Jones. About the boxset: probably one of the best movie boxsets there is; the artbook contains drawings and designs for al three movies, there's also an accessory for your cell phone or you could use it as a collar. There are 4 postcards with the pictures of Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner and the poster of the film. The film comes with 2 bonus DVDs, one with the regular extras and the other containing exclusive material for this limited edition. The packaging is superb, proving once more that Japanese editions are made to satisfy the biggest fans.

Ayumi Hamasaki's new album comes in a year when things haven't been really good to her: the breakup with her longtime boyfriend, the losing of her hearing in her left ear and the death of someone close to her. This is reflected in her new work, a much darker album with only two upbeat songs and more rock oriented, however, it flows naturally and it seems far more interesting than her last effort. The PVs for this album are amazing: a short film plus some high geared videos are worth of watching. The extra photobook has really nice pictures of ayu in high fashion couture proving once more that she's the Japanese diva.

Although Britney's current lifestyle is deemed as a disaster by some, this album is a coherent piece of work. From beginning to end, this album is non stop dance/R&B fusion with sexy lyrics. We get some insight into Britney's situation with Piece Of Me and Why Should I Be Sad. Japanese edition gets 4 bonus tracks Outta This World, Everybody and Get Back which make the album more complete and the Oakendfold Remix of Gimme More. First Press edition comes with a cell phone decoration that says Britney, a nice addition for your collection.

This is Kylie's 10th album and the first one released after her struggle with cancer. Every track on this album is outstanding, from the lead single 2 Hearts to some electropop tunes like Wow, Like a Drug, and some cool dance tunes like Nu-di-ty. This album contains also 2 bonus tracks which are really cool. The DVD has an interview about the album that's interesting plus a photo gallery with White Diamond ballad version as the background. The packaging is excellent containing as a first press a sample of Kylie's perfume "Darling".

This album by ayu shows us what she's good at, great pop songs crafted to please fans and newcomers, it may seem that she revives some old hits by producing them into new songs, but they're still effective and make it an enjoyable album.

For everyone who loves pop songs that are very catchy or cheesy this is the album to buy, the lyrics are amusing and every song has something different to it. This Japanese edition comes with 2 bonus tracks, that makes it even better, Mika's personality shines throughout the entire album, you will enjoy it.

The second installment in this epic trilogy, this time Jack Sparrow faces two new enemies: Davy Jones and Lord Becket, with the help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan they'll try to get the Dead Man's Chest. Two and half hours of action and adventure makes this movie great. The first press includes 4 postcards and holographic packaging, disc 2 includes bonus material which is also very entertaining and the DTS soundtrack in the main feature is incredible.

This is Ayu's first mini album and she shows us with just 7 songs and a bonus track how great her music is, from very pop to ballads to rock songs, Memorial address is excellent, plus the extra DVD has a video for each song and they're quite original, plus some footage from her A Museum concert.

This is Utada's fourth video compilation, from COLORS to Keep Tryin', each of these videos are very original, her music is unique and she's very artistic and the making ofs are really fun, you get to see her just how she is, this limited edition also contains live footage of her singing Be My Last and Passion, which sound excellent, a true artist.

This is Christina's first album with extra tracks, the regular album itself was a great album which won her a Grammy, now the inclussion of 7 new tracks is amazing, 2 new tracks available only for Japan, 4 remixes which are really good and the video version of Come On Over Baby, worth every penny.

This is Christina's third official English album and is the best album she's recorded yet. It's really creative and every song is worth listening to, with an oldies influence, you can hear Christina's voice shine throughout the whole double disc album.

This is Ayumi's 40th single and it includes 2 brand new songs plus 2 remix versions. BLUE BIRD is a great summer track and Beautiful Fighters is a really fun track. Ladies Night~another night~ is awsome, great rock song, the remix is also cool to dance to and if you like karaoke you have the instrumentals to sing along.

Hikaru's 4th. studio album is a mix of pop and dance tunes. This album offers you from some great ballads to dance songs that are extremely catchy. Besides the singles, the album tracks are excellent proving that Hikki is overall a great artist.

This album is full of great tracks, it's a mix between pop and rock with Ayu's well known lyrics and sound. The PVs are really interesting. A must have for every Ayu fan.

This is Ayumi's 7th album, includes the singles from STEP you/is this LOVE? to Bold & Delicious/Pride, almost all of the songs are great, showing different styles: pop, rock, ballads and a little bit of funk. The DVD includes the promotional videos plus some making ofs in which you can enjoy more of Ayumi's work and creativity.

Britney's 4th original album shows us a change in musical direction, without the help of producer Max Martin, she releases 14 new tracks and a 1 bonus remix which make this album fun. Standout tracks are: Breathe On Me, Toxic, Everytime, The Answer and Don't Hang Up. Not the best Britney album, but one with different styles of music. Includes an extra lyrics booklet with Japanese and English lyrics.

The first part of Kill Bill shows us in retrospective why is the Bride looking for revenge. Tarantino inspired in Japanese samurai films and Chinese Kung Fu films makes this movie a rollercoaster of action. Different from the original edition, the Japanese cut shows us the battle with the Crazy 88 in full color and some additional footage. The extras on this DVD even include a making of the anime secquence and exclusive interviews.

The second half of Kill Bill finally presents us the story of the Bride and Bill, set in a more Western ambiance, this time she has to fight the remaining enemies on her list. This Premium Box is really nice: the t-shirt, Bearbrick, character cards, booklet and Pai Mei keychain make it worth your money. One of the best movies I've seen.
