Question: How is the quality of the costume?

I heard about this on a news program.  Was delighted with Season One.  It was refreshing to watch from the other series I'd been watching, not that they were bad, just a bit violent.  This was a new idea on an old premise, but very intriguing.  Very comfortable and with great stories.  The costumes are magnificent and they wear them more than once to give the Granthams and Crowleys more of a reality.Well Done!

Question: What do you think about the acting?

I love this movie!  All the actors are just wonderful and I am a big fan of Colin Firth.  I think he does a wonderful job as Mr.  Darcy and Jennifer Ehle does a wonderful job as Miss Elizabeth Bennet.  This is one of my favorite Jane Austen movies.  I think it is really close to how the book was.  And I really enjoy BBC television.  If anyone is a Jane Austen fan, read the book first and then watch this movie.  I don't think you will be disappointed.

Question: How was the end?

I wasn't really interested in this when it came out in theaters. But I decided that I would like to give it a try since it was free. I really liked it. It was really creepy and funny. The movie ending was great. The foreshadowing that I really didn't pick up on til the end was great. The actors were really good and believable. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Question: How is the season?

I have now watched the entire nine season run of "The X-Files" from start to finish on DVD and my primary reaction to the final season was that it was not Mulder that I missed for most of these last 20 episodes but Scully.  Gillian Anderson's character is in most of these season nine episodes, but far too often she comes a bit unglued regarding her absent former partner.  Granted, we have enjoyed every one of Scully's emotional outbursts throughout the years, but the explosions strike me as being excessive.  When Scully is forced to play the true believer opposite the skepticism of Doggett, in the more mundane cases investigated this final season, things are fine.  All things considered, the episodes that focus on Agent John Doggett (e.g., "John Doe," "Underneath," "Release") are the most interesting in the ninth season.As the final season begins Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) has once again disappeared, but this time of his own choice since he knows his presence is putting Scully and their son William in danger.  Agent Doggett (Robert Patrick) is trying to find Muldar ("Nothing Important Happened Today") as part of his investigation of Deputy Director Kersh (James Pickens Jr.), but Scully and Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) finally convince him to drop the matter.  Scully is now teaching at the FBI Academy, helping Doggett and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) from time to time, but fully aware that William is in danger.  It is William's fate, even more than Mulder's disappearance, that defines the arc of this final season.While watching these episodes again, at midnight each night, I found myself wondering if the season could have been stronger if not only Mulder but also Scully had been jettisoned and the season had been about agents Doggett and Reyes.  As a general rule in the final seasons I intended to enjoy the standalone investigations (e.g, "Lord of the Flies," "Scary Monsters"), than those that focus on the show's mythology (e.g., "Provenance," "Providence").  The final season is a mix of episodes where one week the focus is primarily on Reyes ("Audrey Pauley") and the next almost entirely on Doggett ("John Doe").  Sometimes Dogget and Reyes work together ("Daemonicus") and then again it could be Reyes and Scully ("Hellbound"), or maybe all three ("Underneath"). Things are clearly progressing more quickly with Doggett and Reyes on the romantic front ("4-D," "Release"), but then you would be hard pressed to name a couple that took longer to be a couple than Mulder and Scully.  In the comedy department that standout episodes is clearly "Improbable," which features Bert Reynolds as a checker-playing God (Einstein always said God did not play dice with the universe, but he never excluded any board games).With one exception, the twisted Brady Bunch tale "Sunshine Days," the final episodes that aired are all about tying up lose ends.  "Jump the Shark" becomes the final ride of the Lone Gunmen, "William" finds Scully reaching a fateful decision regarding her son, and the best of the bunch, "Release" brings closure to the unsolved murder of Doggett's son.  "The Truth," the double-episode finale, proves to be unsatisfying, but I think expectations were so exceedingly high that it was impossible for fans to view the end with anything other than regret.  I like the final fade out, but the trial of Mulder is clearly a mockery, which means we are treading water for most of the story until the big finish because nothing that happens there matters.  There is a big bang near the end, but the saga of Mulder and Scully really ends with silence and a set up that will allow Chris Carter and the gang to do anything they want with the planned second "X-Files" movie.  Final Note: It would be my recommendation that you watch all of "The Lone Gunman" episodes before or concurrently with "The X-Files: The Complete Ninth Season," so that you end you "X-Files" experience with "The Truth" and not watching "Jump the Shark" a second time.

Question: Is violence present?

Gripping action packed thriller of a futuristic game in which only one survivor is allowed.  The tributes (forced to participate contestants) must contend with each other, the weather and days in a technologically controlled battlefield in which the goal is to try and survive while killing all others.  The contestants are watched by the viewers in this life and death reality game show, where wagers are made and analysts predict the outcome.  The film is well worth seeing!

Question: How much great it's the acting in the movie?

Saw this one on television. Scenery and costuming are pretty good. But overall I really don't care for it. There really is nothing funning about the Holocost. Indeed the scene best showing this is when the child of the main character is briefly lead away by an Aufseherin. She is wearing a starched clean white nanny apron over her uniform complete with black boots, her face devoid of warmth; which pretty much describes the reality of this film.

Question: How is it act?

I'll first start out by saying that I generally have a pretty wide range of movies I like. I rarely ever "dislike" a movie, I'm willing to watch any genre from any period at any budget, and I'm not one to harshly criticize...I generally try to always find good aspects in a movie...but this movie was absolutely terrible. About 30 minutes in I was SO bored! I would have just turned it off if I had been the only one watching it. The acting was so cheesy, the story line was lacking, the effects were poor, there were a ton of "3D" effects that were waaay over the top (we did not watch it in 3D--because we hate 3D--so it was even worse because of that). There were several plot holes and very little character development. All of these factors together = a poor film. Don't waste your money or your time.

Question: How is the sound quality?

What a great movie!  Being a fan of the classic Universal monsters, I find that this fits in nicely with those movies, even though it was made independantly.  It's obvious that this movie didn't have the budget of those, but it has a lot of heart and charm.  The story revolves around a young couple, a plantation owner, and a zombie master played by Bela Lugosi.  The young couple are to be married, and the plantation owner has invited them to hold their ceremony at his plantation, but he has other plans.  He tries to woo the young lady away, but to no avail.  As a last ditch effort, he enlists the aid of Bela Lugosi.  Well, it turns out that Bela's character has plans for the young woman also.  For the rest, well, you will just have to watch and see....the picture quality on this edition is quite crisp and clear, with a couple of minor distortions here and there.  This is my first time veiwing this movie, and from what I read, this is the best copy available.  The sound quality isn't as good, and I noticed a few drop outs here and there, but considering the age and scarcity of the material, I think the Roan Group did and excellent job in restoring this fine film.  All in all, these minor flaws in quality did nothing to reduce my enjoying the movie.  The sets are amazing and the movie positively exudes atmosphere.  I would recommend this to anyone interested in classic horror movies.

Question: How is the act of the documentary?

"Open Water" is a low-budget, mildly thrilling shark flick.  Sure, it has real shark action in it (except for the biting parts), but there isn't quite enough here in the way of character development to warrant more than three stars.  The beginning of the flick introduces us to Susan and Daniel, two of the most annoying young adults you'll ever run into.  They constantly bicker, even when they're in the middle of the ocean.  I was really gunning for the sharks to take a nip of both of them just to make them shut up.The movie is rather short, but what can you really do to fill up more than about eighty minutes of a story about a couple stranded in the ocean and terrorized by sharks?  It isn't as if the sharks can scheme together on how they'll make Susan stop whining.  The bulk of the flick is Susan and Daniel either whining about being cold and hungry or blaming each other for being in their seaworthy predicament.  This makes the film rather boring since the dialogue and acting isn't that great.The film gets good when the sharks pop on screen.  They are the only reason I'm giving this film three stars.  They're shown cruising beneath their victims, butting their victims, and rolling their victims.  It's rather eerie to watch on the screen.Other than the shark action, however, this movie is pretty dull.  The sharks really do save this picture from being a complete dud.Only recommended to fans of low-budget, "indie scary" flicks like the "Blair Witch Project."  This film is much better than that one in my opinion, though.

Question: What's act?

This movie tries to act oh-so-sophisticated. But the story is a half-hearted attempt at a prequel. The script was inane. The acting was overdone. The only valid conclusion possible is that David is most definately a relative of Ash (Alien 1979). Wow, down to the severed head and everything. That's as good as it got. This film stinks on ice but it sure cures insomnia.Better off not even viewing it and just watch Alien and Aliens once again. Sorry Ridley...

Question: How is the book?

and it was called "Battle Royale".I just want to say I stand firm on my opinion and review of this movie despite the barrage of spiteful and extremely petty down votes from over obsessive fans of this series looking to smite anyone who has something other than praise to give this adolescent film.I completely loved Battle Royale as it was an amazing and unbelievably good movie. It's hard to watch this and not see the similarities and also knowing that Battle Royale came out 10 years before this movie or book was even thought of. I didn't exactly buy into the hype of this movie because of so and actually took my time before deciding to sit down and watch it for the first time. This movie I think was just a bunch of hype the same as Black Swan and all those others than pop up out of no where and all of a sudden seem to capture the attention of the box office. Maybe it's one of those pictures where the book is different and much better but as a movie this one feels overly long and quite boring in a lot of parts. If you've seen Battle Royale or have not, you should definitely watch it. It goes into detail about the things this movie skimps over and explores the characters on a much deeper level. Watching The hunger games I felt I was watching almost like a B-movie rip off of Battle Royale, or how can I put it... it's a lot more toned down and that's which kills the shock value of the story. I think this is one of those movies you only enjoy if you've read the book and get to see it come alive. As for me it just didn't cut it especially since I've seen this done before only better with a much better plot. I'm sure there's die hard fanatics for "The hunger games" but if you've never seen "Battle Royale" than you really are just praising a false idol.What makes this movie even more painstaking to watch is that it is long and not very engaging. I found myself pausing the video and running off to do other tasks, and then coming back to it. The movie just seemed to go on and on and on dragging out scenes forever and then having the nerve to give you one of those open endings. This movie is over 2 hours long and the story hardly has any real dialogue to it. You'll find yourself more mesmerized by trying to figure out the ridiculous fashions of this futuristic world. To me that was the more interesting part to watch especially the awkwardly shaped beard of one of the head figure characters. What also struck me was the character Rue and the uproar about the casting for that character. I couldn't believe how nasty people were over the casting of a cute little girl to play her character that basically only had a couple of lines to say. I mean I think if you blinked you'd miss her role in this movie. It really goes to show just how petty certain people can be over absolutely nothing (probably some of these people randomly down voting reviews). Especially in the case of a movie where the race of characters was never described. The biggest surprise was seeing Lenny Kravitz in the film. I didn't even know he was in to acting but his character was random enough so whatever.The one thing I think that really hurt this movie the most was the lack of explanation in the film. The state of the society is never really explained. Why there are 12 districts and all of them are basically low class working districts and the city is lush and rich is never explained. What the "hunger" part about the entire game/story is about. They only hint at a scene where the main character is starving in flash backs or surprised to get a piece of bread from a friend saying "is this real" but that's all you get. No explanation at all as to why these districts are basically laborers that provide necessities for the well to do but live in poverty themselves. Just from the hints and I mean very few hints in the movie the children fighting all come from these repressed low class labor societies where they are picked at random to fight in these games and chosen to be the victor (btw that plot is never explained you have to piece it together yourself throughout the entire movie). It looked like the participating districts were rewarded with food or something if I saw correctly in the riots (also unexplained) but whatever. This is just a bad movie for lots of reasons but mostly for not explaining things that should be explained like the background for the story at least. There is just a simple clip shown in the movie about a war and the games sort of being like the Olympics to show that courage and strength still exists (yeah, still very pointless).Here's where Battle Royale does everything so much better. The plot of a group of students being forcefully captured by the government and thrown into a Military war/social project called "The Program". The kids are handed weapons and supplies at random and told only one of them can survive and they have to kill all of their classmates if they want to make it home alive. The kids don't really understand what is going on (not even the bombs/tracking devices) around their neck. They at first are hesitant to participate in the game but when others start killing each other it suddenly becomes a game of instinct and survival. Some of the kids form social pacts to survive, some like to survive alone, and some just enjoy killing whomever they can find, and some just refuse to participate and try to find another way out. Battle Royale does the story better because its almost like a study of human survival. You get a chance to learn about the background on the characters and their relationship to the other characters which is what makes seeing one of them die or get killed more personal. You don't get to explore any other characters in The Hunger Games but the two main characters "Bow girl" and "Guy who is useless". There's also Rue who character depth includes "These are Mocking Jays we use them to signal time in my district" and that's about as much as you get. For a 2.5hr movie I find The Hunger Games to be extremely vague in a lot of areas it shouldn't be.So basically overall... if you want to see a GOOD movie about Young adults being forced to kill other young adults watch Battle Royale.

Answer: GOOD

and it was called "Battle Royale". I just want to say I stand firm on my opinion and review of this movie despite the barrage of spiteful and extremely petty down votes from over obsessive fans of this series looking to smite anyone who has something other than praise to give this adolescent film. I completely loved Battle Royale as it was an amazing and unbelievably good movie.

Question: What about sound?

The plot is pretty simple. Kahn (from the original series) is back and he's not to happy. Once he escaped from his exile, he could go anywhere he wanted to. Instead of doing that, he wants to go after Jim Kirk.  Kahn's obsession leads to his downfall.I really liked how Kahn's need for revenge is his down fall.  When Chekov is in the Botany Bay, you see that on the shelf are a lot of book. One book that really stands out is Moby Dick, kind of forshadows what's going to happen to him.With all of this is doing on, it seems that some scientists have created something called, "Genesis". Genesis can literally create life from nothing. However for this to happen, it has to destroy whatever life in on a planet or moon for this to work. In the wrong hands, it can be a weapon.It's up to Kirk and Company to stop Kahn and to save Genesis.Seeings how this is such a old movie, the transfer to blu ray is beautiful. The sound is crisp and clear and during the battle scenes is very impressive.  The images on this blu ray are fantastic! The images are sharp, crisp and very clear. I was really impressed with how smoothly the transfer really went.  It has some really neat extras that I haven't seen before. I really liked it.I just have one small complaint about the blu ray. The menu screen wasn't all that great. It seems that all of the Star Trek movie menu screens just have the Star Trek symbol, that's it. I feel that they could have but anything up there, but they didn't and really dropped the ball.Again, this is a fantastic transfer, I highly suggest it. If you know a Star Trek fan in your life, they'd love to have this.

Question: How is act?

I watched this last night. Still choked up today. Casting was superb, very well chosen. Acting was tremendous. Some reviewers criticized the singing of some of the actors, but in this adaptation I think the acting skills mattered more. Where voice talent was needed most, it was supplied by Ann Hathaway and Samantha Barks. Ann Hathaway (Fantine) delivered such a powerful and sadly too short performance-that's the character-though she reappears at the end as a heavenly apparition. Her performance alone is enough to want this movie. A tale of almost superhuman Christian forgiveness and charity-could be a parable. A definite must see.

Question: How would you rate the season 2 of series Gangaa?

The first season was pretty good. There were some changes from the book, but the story still flowed. Season two is just getting on my nerves! The changes made are absolutely ridiculous. The Jon Snow and Ygritte scenario made me stop watching and I'm not sure if I can continue. I sorta wish I didn't read the books because then maybe I would enjoy this series more.The actor and character of Theon's sister is atrocious. The story of Daenerys is horrible. The battle between the Kings guard and the Black recruits was way underplayed, and the flow of Arya's journey was cut and changed way too much. I could go on and on. I know I should expect changes, but this was written and directed as if both writer and director did not read and love the books. And I truly don't understand how the ratings are high from people who did read the books.Well, finished watching, finally. I'm totally disgusted. I just have no words to say how bad it is. A bitter disappointment. There is no magic whatsoever, like there is in the book. None.

Question: What do you think about direction?

Director John Huston takes into the underworld of crime in 1950 with ASPHALT JUNGLE. This is a dark film in all senses of the word with very few likeable characters. It's a world of illegal gambling, violence, dishonest cops and crime on all levels.Enter a mysterious older gentleman named Doc played by San Jaffe. Doc is just out of prison and is planning one last huge heist before returning to Mexico and a life full of pretty young girls. A big heist requires a skilled crew and lots of money for planning. "Upstanding" citizen Alonzo Emmerich is the answer. He supposedly has the money and connections. The plan is all set or is it? Can a criminal mind trust other criminals? Let the heist begin.I had no background on this film other than knowing it was one of Marilyn Monroe's first films. She has a small but noticeable part as Angela, the young beautiful lady being "kept" by a much older Emerich. Although her role is small, Marilyn is in all the advertising material. Her fame has that power.I didn't find a lot to like about this very dark film. As in typical film noir, it is shot in shadows and mostly at night. There is always a dark and ominous feeling to the film. No one is any good and no one can be trusted. It's a sad journey in to human failures and distress. Lovely Jean Hagen has a bittersweet role as Doll Conovan. There's not doubt she has had a bad run in life but her heart seems pure and she is madly in love with thug Dix Handley played by Sterking Hayden. Dorothy Tree as Emmerich's long-suffering invalid wife is another character who makes an impression. She is so desperate for her husband's love and attention that it is heartbreaking. Emmerich has what really matters in life yet he turns to younger woman and a gang of criminals for recreation.It's hard to watch this film when there seems no hope of redemption for anyone. The characters have all fallen to pieces in some way or another. There is no light of day or fresh start.

Question: How is the suspense?

"Jeepers Creepers" is a movie I remember hearing a lot of mixed buzz about. Some people\critics hailed it as one of the scariest movies ever! While others said it ranks among the worst ever made. I had wanted to see "Jeepers Creepers" when it was firsted released,but, just never got around to it. Then, one day I just decided to rent it, since I'm a fan of the genre."Jeepers Creepers" is a movie I think that does have some suspenseful moments. I also think the film's first half bour is brilliant. And by that I mean, it's set-up is wonderful. The suspense slowly builds up because we don't know what kind of movie we are in for. We have no way of knowing where this plot will take us. As for dialogue well, the film suffers, and the movie has too many loop holes that don't bring the movie together, plus, it just gets plan silly. But, I'm getting ahead of myself here."Jeepers Creepers" starts off as a brother and sister Trish (Gina Philips) and her brother Darry (Justin Long) are driving home from school. Soon they encounter a strange driver on the road who nearly runs them right off the road. As they drive on, they see him again, this time, he's off the road, and they see him throwing bodies down a pipe. Now, all of this believe it or not works. But, what happens inbetween this, doesn't work.First of all, the two kids start talking about their mother. Okay, what about her? I don't know. They say that she's change, that she;s not herself anymore. OK, why? Does she have a physical problem? Is she breaking up with her husband? Did her husband die? Or is she just lonely? We never know. Information is given to us, but, it's never completed. We know Trish (Gina Philips) breaks up with her boyfriend, why? The writers were just trying to make this characters have a conversation for the film doesn't become boring until the action happens. But, why make the characters talk about things that won't have anything to do with the movie. We don't want to hear it. Why not try writing USEFUL dialogue?After the first half hour, the film become odd, but, I was willing to go along with it. We find out something about the driver in the begining of the movie (don't worry I won't spoil it). And then we start to second guess our opinion of why we rented this in the first place. So now, the film just becomes silly. Here's an example, the kids are soon told they whenever they hear the Harry Warren song "Jeepers Creepers" expect trouble. Never in all my life would I have expected the song "Jeepers Creepers" to represent evil! Also, we are told that the "crepper" attacks ever 23 years! And the funny thing is, no one else knows about this. That leads to another question. Exactly how long has this been going on?Director Victor Salva is not a talentless director I feel. He might be able to actually make a good, scary horror flick one of these days. He just needs to prepare himself better. That's what really breaks this film. The elements are there for a good movie, but, they just weren't used properly. Maybe "Jeepers Creepers 2" will be better. Who knows. I personally would advise you not to watch this movie. If you like the teen horror genre I prefer "Scream", "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and "The Glass House".Bottom-line: Suspensefull, but ultimately silly horror film that just doesn't scare us enough but makes us think of what could of been. Decent acting, so-so scrpit.

Question: What is your take on the direction the movie is taking?

I really was moved by Brokeback Mountain. It is a sad and often touching film, that should be seen at least once by anyone interested in cinema. The direction by Ang Lee is flawless in almost every frame.I was angered by the film for not giving a clear explaination for one of the character's death. I now feel differently. It is best for the viewer to think what they want about it. It was the death itself and how it affected the other characters that was important in the film. The death itself will affect the viewer, and Del Mar's reaction to it is heartbreaking.Some reviews mention the makeup, cloths and other superficial aspects of the film. They are not important to enjoying the film.The acting, direction and story are why the film should be seen and even studied.A student will find writing a thesis on the story, the film or book a great challenge. There are things in the film, subtle things, that get missed during one viewing. If you want to know what I am talking about, see the film again. Look closly at every scene; take it all in. I have not yet read the book.Brokeback Mountain is a wonderfully sad and disturbing film. It may have it's amusing moments, they are few. This film is about love, lust and life. Live's without committment, where lies do more damage than aweful truths.

Question: How was the action scene?

This is what DVD's are made for.  The plethora of special features makes this possibly the best put together DVD out there right now, all DVD's should be made like this, but now onto the movie itself.  From the start, Episode 1 had a lot going against it.  Few people thought it could live up to the original trilogy, combined with the hammy acting and excessive CGI effects, not to mention everyone's constant bitching and moaning about Jar-Jar Binks, I was surprised it made as much money as it did (then again its a Star Wars movie).  Ewan McGregor is great as the young Obi-Wan, while Liam Neeson brings a strong, silent edge in his role.  Jake Lloyd however, can't act to save his life.  All his lines sounded so forced and unconvincing, not to mention the fact this is the kid who is supposed to become Darth Vader, I just can't see that cute little kid becoming such an evil force.  Ray Park is good as Darth Maul, only I wish we could have seen more of him, and the final fight scene is great as well.  George Lucas has totally commercialized the Star Wars saga, and it shows here which drags the movie down a lot (he had said he thought about casting N*Sync as Jedi Knights in Episode 2 to please his daughter), and the total credibility that the series once had quickly fades away by the time the credits start rolling.  However, I'm thankfull that Episode 2 is much better than Episode 1, but hardcore Star Wars fans will love it either way.  Bottom line: great DVD, ok movie.
