4 1/2 Stars  Jessica Alba in a Bikini! A Must See . Jared (Paul Walker) and Sam (Jessica Alba) are a pair of salvagers living a poor but mostly happy existence on the shores of the Bahamas waiting for that day when they'll finally find the sunken treasure ship that will solve all their problems. When Jared's old friend Bryce (Scott Caan) arrives on the island to relax it looks like their dreams will come true when they find the wreckage of the pirate ship Zephyr. Unfortunately, the Zephyr is resting next to the a crashed drug plane carrying 800 kilos of cocaine... cocaine its owner (James Frain) wants back.    Into The Blue has Great Acting, Good Directing, Great Special Effects, and Good Writing. Let me start off with saying I definitely prefer Paul Walker not driving fast cars and this film just proves I'm right. The Acting in this film has got to be its strongest point Jessica Alba does another great job in her third movie of 2005 and Paul Walker does a great job as well. Scoot Cann also has a standout performance as the standalone jerk! The Special Effects were probably the second best aspect because since basically all of it was underwater they did a very exceptional job like with the explosions and stuff. The Writing and Directing were also very good but I believe the Acting stood out the most.    Overall if you like Jessica Alba or Paul Walker or Underwater Adventures You'll love this movi

Very sub-standard Wilbur Smith Lite . The only good thing in this movie is Jolene Blalock as a femme fetale. The problem with this film, to paraphrase an old quote, is that there is a lot of nice scenery but no engaging story put in front of it.    Truly only Wilbur Smoth knows how to pull off South African Grand Guignol and have you care. Unfortunately Wilbur Smith has nothing to do with this. And it shows

Very poor DVD of a wonderful movie . This is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I was very disappointed with the DVD version.  In the middle of the movie, you will have to get up, go to your DVD player, and flip the DVD over to the second side to see the rest of the movie.  I don't know what bozo came up with that idea, but it defeats the purpose of relaxing and enjoying a good movie.  Who wants to get up and flip the DVD over in the middle of the suspense?  This format takes stupidity to the next level.  I would highly recommend the VHS since I have it and it's wonderful.  I would NOT recommend the DVD until they do a better version.  The packaging is in paper and not durable at all, another truly bad idea.  DVD's should be in plastic cases, not paper

Excellent Anime! . This is one of my favorite anime series of all time.  I've had this collection for about a month and not only have I watched it repeatedly, but I've shown it to all of my friends and now they all want it!  This thinpack boxset is a great value over buying the series individually.        One note: This has all 12 episodes of Fumoffu on 3 discs, while the separate DVDs have 12 episodes on 4 discs.  (When I saw a fourth disc for sale I got worried that I was missing something.)      I watched all of the Fumuffo eopisodes before watching the complete original Full Metal Panic and still thoroughly ejoyed them.  There isn't much carry-over between them, although the characters are the same. I love Sosuke's deadpan comic lines.  My favorite episode is the "Patient of Darkness," where Kaname tries to get a rise out Sosuke in a haunted hospital.     A must have for your anime collection

Movie is great - This DVD release is HORRIBLE . Don't buy this.  Seriously.  Someone is bound to release a better version.  This is PAN AND SCAN, cropped at 1:33, and seems to be transferred from some sort of used tape...Like a 3/4 inch VHS.  There are visible tape flutters and wrinkles throughout the film. And no it's NOT the print.  The film is fine.  It's the transfer.  cheap, cheap, cheap.    The compression is abysmal (notice the obvious scan lines on the titles) and the sound is piss poor.  How is it possible this is the only way this film is available in the US?  Disgraceful

Much needed and appreciated... . While this might not be for everyone, it is something to behold. I happened upon the 'O' show, as she spoke about it (wayback when) and I was very intrigued. Before that episode ended, my order was being placed for the DVD version, here. I purchased the CD version, after watching the movie. It was beyond words (I found myself tearing and nodding during most of the movie) and I'm incorporating the Secret in my life as well as my family. I listen to the CD version while getting ready for work in the morning and while doing my work, at night. It has helped me immensely and I'll continue to do so. I'm so very glad that I decided to check here for the hardcover book...hooray, the price has been reduced...yipeee! I'll get that as soon as I'm done with this review.

WOW!!! . The greatest show ever to hit T.V. You will never know what happens next on this show and that is one of the many elements that make this show great,It always keeps you guessing and wanting more.C.T.U(Counter Terrorist Unit) and C.T.U operative Jack Bauer(Keifer Sutherland)try and stop terrorist threats all within 24 hours which is in real time. What I like about this show is that Keifer Sutherlands character Jack Bauer is not afraid to do what ever it takes to stop a terrorist threat even if it is going against C.T.U or the President. Another great aspect of the show is they are not afraid to kill off main characters that you grow to love on the show, so you will never now what is going to happen next which keeps you wanting more. You still reading, stop and go buy the first season right now. Hell, buy all 4 right now thats how good it is

Horrid... . This is going to sound like an exaggeration...but this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.    I will admit that I didn't have high hopes for this film.  I mean, it didn't come out in theaters (at least in the U.S.), which is never a good sign, no movie store seems to have it in stock, and I read some pretty crippling reviews right here on good ol' Amazon.  But hey, I gave it a shot.  Boy, was that a mistake...    First of all, here's a quick synopsis: Years ago, King Hrothgar (Stellan Skarsgard) killed a troll, but took pity on the troll's son, Grendel (Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson), and left him alone.  Grendel, now full-grown, is seeking revenge on Hrothgar's kingdom.  Hearing of Hrothgar's plight, the fierce warrior Beowulf (Gerard Butler) comes to help the king kill Grendel.  Along the way Beowulf meets a witch/prostitute named Selma (Sarah Polley) and discovers that trolls have feelings too.    Now, we all know that Stellan Skarsgard and Gerard Butler are great actors, but in this movie they fumble with a halting and painfully corny script.  The script affects the acting, and the acting affects the film.    Secondly, though Sarah Polley is a lovely actress, she seems very misplaced in this film.  She's the ONLY character with an American accent and, in an age-old Anglo-Saxon myth, this is very, very out of place.  In addition, the small amount of weight that Gerard Butler has put on around the stomach area draws a little from his role as an unstoppable, highly-trained warrior.    The battle scenes are unnecessarily gory, with fake-looking and very blood-soaked limbs flying left and right.  They seem primitive compared to the battle scenes of other films.  The scene in which Beowulf fights Grendel's mother is especially bad - there's lots of shrieking and strobe-light-esque movements that seem almost comical in this day and age.    The only things that can be said in this movie's defense are that the sweeping Iceland landscapes are breathtaking and the Celtic monk (Eddie Marsan) is mildly-amusing in his efforts to convert everyone.    1-star...please don't waste 103 minutes of your life on this film

Blu-ray screws us here! . The Blu-ray Disc is supposed to have 5 times more memory than standard DVD. So why can't they release ALL the special features (and more if possible) that the standard DVD has? I don't know if it's a product, copyright, or money issue, but this hasn't yet happened on HD DVD. The standard DVD of this movie has full-length audio commentary, 15 minutes of extended fight sequences with optional commentary, a behind-the-scenes documentary, a storyboard-to-film comparison, and a sneak peek at the Making Of the second "Transporter." None of that is on this Blu-ray. So if you're a real movie buff and like special features, get the Standard DVD of this movie

Under-rated... . Intriguing movie with as many layers as an onion.  There is also a surprising, rare commentary by star Val Kilmer (one of the most under rated actors of the day) in which he alternately teases and admires with warmth, director David Mamet ("Dav-eed Mam-ay"), as well as the Black Ops/Rangers-types he plays in Spartan.     Best to go into the film unspoiled and be surprised, several times over.  For anyone who loves espionage with a twist, this one won't disappoint

The only things preserved are a few names . As far as a shoot-um-up with the obligatory car chase goes, this movie did it quite well. And like many of the other "1984" machine churned out films for the proletariat, the title and a few names bear the only resemblance to the Ludlum story. Quite a few of the characters that give this story depth and mystery are left out of the movie completely.       Now let's not compare this quickie in shoot-up land with the well thought out book "The Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum or the much better portrait of the story in the Mini-Series "The Bourne Identity" (1988) starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith; then we can enjoy what is left.     A sailor on a fishing trawler spots a human body in the water. After retrieving it we find it is alive. Helping this stranger back from the near dead we find a couple of bullet holes and a mysterious capsule under his skin. The capsule displays what the fisherman recognizes immediately as a Swiss bank account. The man can not remember who he is. Now we follow along with his journey to Switzerland and find out if he will recover. In the mean time someone is out to kill him. Why?

A nice mental exercise for geeks . I watched the director's cut version twice and still couldn't figure out what was going on in the movie. Only after I went through the commentary, did everything (except for one thing) make sense. I doubt ANYONE could really get the story after one viewing or without the help of the commentary or the info on the internet. If the audience doesn't "get it" by watching the movie alone, I  say it is a failure on the film maker's part.     That said, I was intrigued by it. I guess the challenge of figuring it out is what attracts geeks (I consider myself one) everywhere to this movie. When you finally "get it", it becomes a wonderful movie. Just one thing that still doesn't make sense though, when the jet engine (the Artifact) appears in the primary universe at the end of the movie, doesn't it make it a Tangent universe? Doesn't the clock start ticking again, only this time, it wouldn't be Donnie who saves it

How this movie got so many good reviews is beyond me. . I like Sissy and Marissa but holy cow, this movie moved at a snails pace. I almost fell asleep waiting for the gun shot.  The story is so typical girl with two kids looking for some sap to help her out so she picks a naive high school grad.  pulls some smooth sex moves on the poor kid and gets his pee-pee all in a whirl and he becomes king kong and wants to protect her from her "horrible" estranged hubby, and play daddy to her brats. Its a no win situation, legally he's an "adult" so mom and dad can't forbid him from diddling with the tramp and unfortunatly he's in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets killed for no good reason.  And she ends up going back to her estranged hubbby and thinks what he did to get her back was soooo romantic.  The world is full of dumb c--ts and even dumber men.  Don't bother with this one

A fun movie . There are far too few movies that are made just for fun these days. Down Periscope is proof that you don't need fancy special effects or a giant budget to make a fun movie. My teenagers loved it, setting it up on the same shelf with zoolander and super-troopers.    Kelsey Grammer does a wonderful job and seems to relish his role, playing it with the controlled fun that is the hallmark of the movie. Known for his unorthodox activities he has drawn the ire of Admiral Graham (Bruce Dern who appears to be having a lot of fun in his role as well) and ends up with the worst crew that can be dredged up and the worst sub (an old rusty diesel boat) that can be found and the worst assignment - to go up against the entire modern Navy. Fortunately Grammer is up to the task and the underhanded tactics and brilliant maneuvers he performs will bring a laugh from almost everyone.     The crew consists of stereotypes, from the flatulant cook, to the grizzled old veteran, to the spoiled son of an admiral, to the basketball star, to the spit-and-polish XO, but the actors manage to bring them off with charm, especially the electrician who Grammer notes has "absorbed a lot of voltage". In addition to the big laughs, there are the little scenes that bring a smile, such as during the first dive when a panicked crewman heads aft to "see if the other rooms are still tilted"    Ultimately it is a feel-good movie. It doesn't highlight any great moral conflicts, but its a great diversion to settle down and enjoy on a rainy day and one of the few movies you will probably get your teenagers to sit with you and watch!    Of special note, San Franciscans will immediately notice the backdrop used is the "mothball fleet" in Suisun Bay and the docked sub shots of the "Stingray" are the USS Pampanito, a sub open for tours at Pier 39 - you can even see the other piers at the end.

The king of sleeze-Jing Wong forgets that he had Jet Li starring in this movie . Jing Wong truly sinks to a new low with this movie.  Jet has one oustanding action sequence but other than that, he just isn't used.      Jacky Cheung is the star of this movie and plays an actor who absolutely never uses stunt doubles.  It became apparent within 5 minutes that this movie was made to make fun of Jackie Chan.  Of course it didn't have to be so obvious but Jing Wong just keeps driving it into your head that he does his own stunts.  So if you are familiar with Jing then you know this isn't going to be a tribute to Jackie.  Oh no, it is a punch to the throat through the movie screen.  Jet Li plays Cheung's bodyguard and ends up doing the a stunt for him.  After setting up his stupid Jackie Chan character, Jing tries to do a remake of Die Hard.  Remember how you never knew what Bruce Willis was going to do and it was always surprising?  Well Jing makes about the worst movie possible from here on.  Instead of being clever, he makes Jet just keep storming in on the hostages and then flee.  At one point he takes a helicopter up and starts shooting right into the buiding at the main bad guy with all of the hostages standing around.  After the helicopter crashes into the side of the building it doesn't blow up, it just destroys everything on that floor.  So other than one outstanding action sequence between Jet Li and Ben Lam(guy with sunglasses), this movie is a complete waste of time.  Even Billy Chow couldn't save this one.  Of course it would help if Wong Jing was smart enough to capitalize on the success of Billy Chow and Jet Li in 'Fist of Legend', but instead we don't get to see them fight and get to look at Billy Chow in a thong.  Yeah, that it just what I am looking for.      The Universal Laser and Video company version is OK but the imbedded subtitles are sometimes hard to read.  There is a version of this released by Dimension Video(grrrr)that has been retitled Meltdown and has been shortened by 10 minutes and also has gotten a horrible new soundtrack including English dubbing and rap music replacing what was in the original.  Doesn't matter which one you get because the Chinese version isn't really any better since it is not a good movie to begin with.

The Great Muttering Sailor Man . Opinions are like noses: everyone has one. Some like it, some don't. Let me say this, however, in defense of this 1980 movie starring Robin Williams as Popeye. It is certainly unfair to say, by any stretch, that this is 'the worst movie of all-time', or 'one of the worst...'. It is funny how, at the time of this writing, that the average vote for this film is about 4.5 stars...Actually that is about right. For those who do not know about the wonderful website called The Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com), you really need to check it out. [...] My point is this: There are many opinions. So if you have never seen this movie, decide for yourself. Do you remember the incredible muttering Popeye (done by Jack Mercer on the cartoons)?. I'm talking especially about the early Fleischer Studios Popeye cartoons from the 30's. You know, the ones in black-and-white. That's what I loved the most, the muttering Popeye. Well, Robin Williams does it superbly! Also, Shelly Duvall is excellent as Olive Oyl in this movie. Granted, the story is kind of bland. The music is not always top notch. Yes, it is too long. However, I enjoyed watching Robin Williams' masterful portrayal of everyone's favorite Sailor Man. Sure, Olive can get a little annoying at times, but wasn't she basically that way in the cartoons? So if you loved the muttering Popeye, then you'll love the movie, overall. Never mind the story. The storyline doesn't really matter, I feel. But, alas, you say you cannot really remember those vintage Popeye cartoon shorts too well. Not to worry! They are scheduled to be released on DVD... FULLY RESTORED!!! Volume 1 (1933 - 1938), with a July 2007 scheduled release, will have, in my opinion, the very best of all the 230 total Popeye cartoon shorts. (Incidently, William Costello provided Popeye's voice from 1933 until sometime in 1935. He was very good also, but the really GREAT muttering came when Jack Mercer took over in 1935). By all means, if you are a huge Popeye fan like myself, then you absolutely must get these DVDs. After listening to the great Jack Mercer, and watching the incredible animation in those early years, then compare Popeye to Robin Williams' version. I dare say, you will see the similarity. So, the bottom line is: See for yourself. If you love Popeye, the character, then you will not be disappointed with Robin Williams' performance. The movie itself... well, you be the judge. Likely you have a nose, so without a doubt you, too will have an opinion. It's ALL alright.

Disapointing Action Movie . I really like Wesley Snipes and I really like action movies. This movie disappointed on both accounts. I had to wonder what Snipes was thinking in doing this film. I still think he is a great actor and could draw people into theaters, so why do a straight-to-video movie. Truthfully I didn't even read the cover before renting it because it was Wesley Snipes but even if I did I would have still rented it.    The movie starts out ok with a really ingenious armored car heist, which of course goes bad and turns into a pretty neat car chase. After that, the movie seems to fizzle out.    There is not much dialogue and I think the writers put more effort into the heist than the rest of the film. The acting is pretty bad all around, although I think Snipes did what he could with what he as given.    The directing is frazzled and just plain weird. I didn't like it much at all. I think the director was trying to add action to the film by his style of directing but to me it just made things worse.    Given the right attention, this movie could have been great but I get the feeling everyone just wanted to get it released as soon as they could. It has potential, but in my opinion, everyone involved in it just fell flat.    I had trouble getting through the whole thing. If you are a die hard Snipes fan then you might want to rent it, but I don't give any guarantees as to whether you will like it or not. It just might be worth renting simply to see the beginning because the heist is definitely one of the most intelligent and ingenious I have ever seen.    Don't expect much and marvel at the heist and you just might not feel like you've wasted your time watching it. Only buy it if you are an avid fan who must have a copy of every movie your favorite actor has made regardless of how good they are

Deal with it, he ripped off Hicks . Why do you think Leary doesn't do live shows anymore?  Hicks isn't around for him to steal material from!    And that is precisely what Leary did.

It's Just a Title . Reading these reviews, I was surprised by a number of the comments but most of all by those that rented/bought this movie believing it was somehow about "angels" and then had the nerve to complain that they didn't know what it was about or that there were no angels in the movie.    With that in mind, I'd like to offer some advice to those that may inadvertently rent/buy other movies:    There are no Cuckoo birds and no nests in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  There is no obvious wind in Gone With the Wind and what there was didn't blow anything away  There are few, if any, good fellas in Goodfellas  There are no lambs in Silence of the Lambs  Chinatown isn't set in a town in China  There is neither $1,000,000 nor a baby in Million Dollar Baby  You guessed it, no bulls in Raging Bull  The coats are made of denim or some such material in Full Metal Jacket  Paul Newman's body temperature is about 98.6 degrees just like the rest of us in Cool Hand Luke  There is little, if any, sleeping in The Big Sleep  The prison hallway is only a few feet long in The Green Mile  The African Queen is not about a gay black man  No waterfowl were hurt in the making of Duck Soup  The earth rotated as usual on the Day the Earth Stood Still  There are actually multiple conversations in The Conversation  The raunchy men's magazine does not appear in The Hustler  Nobody inherited the wind in Inherit the Wind. It still belongs to all of us  There is no discernible odor while watching The Sweet Smell of Success  All the President's Men is only about *some* of the president's men    I hope that some will find these simple reminders useful. If not, you may want to consider looking at the back of a DVD case, visiting your local library or going to one of the thousands of web sites that talk about every movie ever made.    As for this film, if you're not frightened by things that might be different than what you've experienced or that perhaps strike too close to home, and don't spend your time judging how everyone else lives, then there is much to love about this work. It may not be perfect, and there can be many legitimate gripes about it, but overall it's very, very good. Scan through the positive reviews here and you'll get a good sense of it. No need for me to repeat it all here. Unfortunately, most (but not all) of the negative reviews are just those with some sort of political/religious agenda to put forth instead of commenting on the film

He has stumbled upon a shocking tale of intense spiritual devotion gone horribly wrong.    As the ongoing therapy with Alan reaches its climax Dr. Dysart finally comes face to face with the young mans' inner passion and divine obsession. An encounter which challenges Dysart to finally look into his own soul and confront his personal demons and loss of passion. As though peering into a mirror darkly it eventually becomes a case of "Physican Heal Thyself."      Truly one of the darkest, most penetrating journeys into a troubled mind you will ever view. Peter Shaffer's masterful screenplay along with director Sidney Lumet performing at the top of his craft have brought to life a harrowing vision not soon to be forgotten.

The Show is Great . I love this show it's my favorite show on Saturday afternoon but it's sad that they cancelled this show now I have nothing looking forward too on Saturday afternoon only work but that's it. I love Brennan he's the coolest with his Electricity Powers aka as the Elemental. Then there's Emma but she had left the show in Season 3 her Psyonic powers were cool. Then comes Jesse and that new girl I forgot her name haven't seen the show lately. Then there's Shalimar I like her powers but it's not my favorite out of all these peoples. I can't wait for Season 2 and Season 3 to come out in Box Set because buying it seperate cd's costs alot of money

Take on "10" . My take is that this is Dudley's best movie, better than both "Authurs". While funny, risque and cute for the collective conscious of the late '70s, the scene sequences appear rather hackneyed and pale in the 2000s. The plot is mediocre. The greatness of the movie lay in Dudley Moores registration of wit shown by his mercurical, elegant and moving use of facial expressions and repartee with Brian Denehey at the bar and especially at the piano, revealing both great depth of feeling and consumate artistry as a musician. This piano scene, alone reason for 5 stars, was the saving grace.

Flyboys . I enjoyed this DVD and the suplemental DVD as well. I give this film four stars because of the great computer graphics and the clean plot. The reality factor was taken a little too far concerning the aircraft abilities/ capabilities of that time era. Still...the film was enjoyable. I can't help but wish that they developed the characters more. I guess there are time restraints and such to consider. Anyway, a fun movie to relax with and eat pop corn with your family! Sure beats watching yet another ho hum flesh eatting zombie spin off that seems to always be showing up(smile)

F Troop . Another "must buy" box set along with numerous other American TV shows (a list too long to mention). I live in the UK and the TV stations here seem reluctant to show classic TV even with the advent of satellite/cable. I used to be very envious of American viewers who had access to TV Land, however I now see that they no longer show classic shows from the 60's preferring to now stick to shows from the 80's onwards.  I purchased Season 1 when it was released and laughed from start to finish, even my wife who never saw the original limited run of the show enjoys watching it and laughs just as much as myself.   I can't remember much about season 2 although I will when I watch the DVD, one thing I do remember is that it was very funny and would recommend anyone to purchase it

Not So Complete . This DVD is a reworking of a TV series from the mid-90s that was released on VHS as "Jacques Pepin's Cooking Techniques".  Unfortunately, not everything from the original series has been included on the DVD. As stated by other reviewers the presentation format in the DVD is also combersome, with most segments lasting less than five minutes and then returning to the menu.      It would have made a much better product and been less disjointed if they just released on DVD the original series as originally made.  Also the DVD features a couple of segements from Jacques' early 90s series "Today's Gourmet".  It would be great if KQED would release these on DVD also.     Nevertheless, the DVD does present the basic and most common techniques used in the kitchen, and is useful for anyone who wants to improve their skills as a cook.

Truly Disappointing . After I read Erik Larson's wonderful book "The Devil in the White City" I was fascinated by the brief glimpses at Holmes' story. But this documentary was a phenomenal disappointment. The production is amateurish at best, complete with needlessly corny reenactments worthy of "Mondo Carne." With such a wealth of fascinating information available (court transcripts, etc) do we really need filler footage of some faceless actress wandering down dark hallways acting frightened? This man killed countless people and yet the producers of this documentary thought so little of their audience that they hired a narrator who sounds as if he is the chief ride operator of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Truly disappointing. Perhaps someone will make an interesting documentary of Holmes. This most certainly isn't it

Funniest Office Comedy Around . If you've ever worked for a corporation and dwelled in 'cubicle city', then this one's for you! You have to watch this movie. Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston are excellent in this film. It's taken from the "Milton" shorts and is absolutely hilarious

disappointment! . I liked Vin Diesel despite Riddick and thought that he can be a good action star. Unfortunately, this movie at the very least didn't demonstrate his acting abilities (unless you consider looking tough as an acting skill). Grunted, the movie doesn't help. It is badly written, badly directed. Overall, mediocre B-movie.

For Lee/Dracula Completists Only . Jess Franco has to be one of the worst directors out there. He's managed to take a great story, hire a terrific cast, set them in interesting locations and still make a mess of the film.  He uses a zoom lense at every opportunity, his day for night photography is a joke and the whole thing moves at a snail like pace.The only reason to have this movie is if you are a Christopher Lee or Bram Stoker fan and even then only as an interesting curiosity.The one thing it has going for it is the fact that there are more of Stokers actual dialogue spoken in this than any other Dracula film

Shall We Dance? for 11 year olds . Starting in 1995, the New York City program in ballroom dance now includes 6000 children from all burroughs of the city.    This documentary observes 11 year olds learning body discipline, social etiquette, appropriate attire on their way to achieving a sense of self respect, personal dignity.     Some of the children inhabit neighborhoods where they stumble across drug addicts and dealers each day. The teachers of 3 different schools reveal secret tricks to overcome physical and social awkwardness in children and open them to their potential for becoming accomplished through structure, practice and smiling.    The children openly discuss their fears (my dad cheated on my mom) and hopes (do you like girls?) between classes as they march toward the selection process for the citywide competition (bronze, silver, gold levels) quarter, semi-finals and the glorious finals outdoors in sunlight.    The music is charming nostalgic, the dancing exhilarating; the children's enjoyment of their bodies in motion is contagious.    Recommend also seeing the original Japanese DVD Shall We Dance? to see the transformative power of dance to change adult self image and relationships.

A most delighful movie for Everyone . I possibly watched hundreds of movies, and this one is surely one of the most delighful movies I have ever seen. I watched it with my dog Sultan, and he loved it as much as I did. The story is interesting and amuzing, the characters simply adorable. It touches your Heart, pleases your senses, and relaxes your mind. Could you ask for more? I would recommend this movie to everyone of all ages. You could see it again and again and it won't tire on you because there is Real Joy at its core. It aims to share this Joy with you, and it couldn't do a better job. Bravo!!

This Is My Favorite Of The Muppet Movies! . I like the Muppet movies and my favorite is the Muppets Take Manhattan which I found to be cute and funny. I originally had this movie on video, the pan and scan video tape and I also had the video tapes for the other Muppet movies but I gave them to my little cousins and then I bought the widescreen DVD for the the Muppets Take Manhattan and I coouldn't be happier with the DVD and now I just have to buy the DVD,s for The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper and the new DVD's for Muppet Treasure Island and The Muppets Christmas Carol. BTW: I didn't buy my Muppets Take Manhattan DVD from Amazon. I bought it in Walmart for 5 dollars

awful, horrible, ridiculous. . i cannot get thru this one.  i started fast-forwarding but there didn't appear to have any good spots.  when i saw that christian cammpbell was in this, i thought, this has to be good.  i had just finished a movie where he starred.  can't remember the name of it.  i guess a person should never buy a movie because of who stars in it.  tori spelling is well known, but not to me.  someone should have put her out of her misery right from the start.  she does not play a flake very well, and i don't know what to call her except a flake.  i stopped this dvd in about the first 1/2 hour and will go back and give it another shot, but with tori spelling as one of the leads, i already know this one does not have a prayer.  i would say; save your money on this one unless you are under 13.  i have a ton of straight and gay movies that tell a story and a couple or few that don't.  this one falls into this category. one that came with this one was "the broken hearts club" and while not my cup of tea it was far superior to this piece of garbage.

ORIGINAL IS BETTER . If you want UNCUT ORIGINAL version, ALWAYS look for ORIGINAL LICENSED Production. NOT US Release. Its a foreign film, it should not be US version to begin with~! HELLO!!!?? Why settle for LESS with US Version where they edit and cut so many excellent scenes especially with Jackie's Fighting Scenes. And US Release ruins the speed and sound as well. I have been collecting Jackie Chan's movies both HK and US Release Version for quite some time now. I found HK Version to be MUCH MORE in enjoyable, and HIGHER in Quality. American Market always like to "Americanize" and "Control". Regional Code Regulation thing is one of the example to CONTROL the Market. Why not let everyone enjoy the same HK Original Release move the same way ENTIRE WORLD enjoys it ?? No one makes Hollywood American movies to "French version" or "Chinese Version" ~! This what Americans are doing~! Well, enjoy the cheap "American version" then~! LO

The First Woman in the Workplace Film . 9 to 5 was the first film to address the glass ceiling.  It takes a look at the workplace from a woman's view.    We first meet Violet (Lily Tomlin) who has been working for Consolidated Companies for 12 years and has been overlooked for most of them.  She trained her current boss and has the bruises to prove it.  Judy (Jane Fonda) is the new girl in the office.  She is a divorcee (he left her for his secretary) and has never worked for a living.  Rounding out the heroines is Doralee (Dolly Parton in the film debut). She is the personal secretary of Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman) and everyone thinks she is "banging the boss".    But the fun starts when Violet is passed over for a promotion to a man she helped train.  She then blurts out that Hart has been spreading rumors that he's been having an affair with Doralee.  And an employee is fired for a small infraction. This sends the three women to the local bar to drown their sorrows and they bond.    Each comes up with their fantasy way of killing the boss.  Judy is a big game hunter with Hart as the prey.  Doralee plays role reversal and Hart ends up on a rotisserie spit.  But Violet wants it to be like a fairy tale where she is Snow White and the wicked witch and poisons Hart.      The next day, Violet accidentally poisons Hart's coffee.  When falls out of his chair and is knock unconscious, Violet thinks she killed him.  This leads to an all out comedy chase with Violet steals the wrong corpse.    The next day to the ladies surprise, Hart shows up.  The ladies regroup in the restroom but Roz overhears them and reports it to Hart.  Hart confronts the ladies but they wind up kidnapping him to find some incriminating evidence.  The find something but it is going to take some time to get the evidence.  Over the next six weeks the ladies run the office in Hart's absence.  Hart escapes but the ladies changes have brought notice and Hart is not above taking someone else's glory.    The subject matter here is very serious.  So to do it as a comedy is very daring and it works perfectly.  This is a film that many people identify with.  Everyone has had a boss or a teacher that oppressed them.  And this film is what we all would like to do to these oppressors.   You will laugh until it hurts.    DVD EXTRAS:  Commentary by producer Bruce Gilbert and stars Lily, Jane and Dolly    9 to 5 @ 25 - a 25 minute featurette with interviews with Gilbert, writer director Colin Higgins and stars Lily. Jane, Dolly and Dabney Coleman.    Deleted Scenes - 10 mostly expanded scenes or alternate takes.  The problem is without some kind of commentary we do not know why the scene was cut.

mission impossible tv series . Anyone who has seen the mi films will not be disapointed with this series and it isnt about bike chases car chases blowing things up all the time etc it is about careful srtategic planning with gadgets or masks or by any other means to dupe the perpetrators involved in to believing something is really happening so the mi team can remove them to stop them being a threat to society. Each member has his own skills.   I think you will enjoy this series it gets better as it goes on

Horrid Movie . I saw all the revies for this movie and was expecting a dark enjoyable tale about a libtertine.  I was strongly mistaken.  Johnny Depp is a great actor with great abilites, but this is the worst movie of his I have ever seen.  Even his "cheesy" movies were better than this.  The rated R rating is light.  I couldn't believe how pornographic it was.  Even in Quills, it wasn't as raunchy as this.  Don't waste your money or your time with this one
