DVD reviews: The King's Speech and more

The King's Speech

Who's in it? Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush
Rating 5 out of 5
The plot If you had told us just over a year ago we would go insane for a movie about a King with a speech impediment, we would have told you David Starkey documentaries aren’t our thing, but The King’s Speech was our movie of 2011. The story of Britain’s King George VI (Firth) and his battle to overcome a speech impediment with the help of an eccentric speech therapist is inspirational.

Adele Live at The Royal Albert Hall

Who's in it? Adele 
Rating 5 out of 5
The plot 2011 was Adele’s year – number one hit after number one hit, and the best- selling album of the century. It came to a perfect end when she was given the opportunity of her career: one night at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Fans will love watching her perform her biggest hits (Someone Like You almost had us in tears) and listening to her chat about each song. The CD is thrown in, so you can relive it all on your iPod.

Rating 4 out of 5
The plot Much to the despair of Prateek (Armaan Verma), his parents are painfully normal: his dad, Shekhar (Khan), is an overworked video game designer and his mum, Sonia (Kapoor), is writing a book. But then Prateek’s dad creates a video game superhero to impress his boss and his son, who shoots the idea down in favour of a villain, which sets Shekhar on the path of creating the ultimate bad guy, RA.One (Arjun Rampal).
