Not his best, but still very,  very good! . Yeah, ok, the drummer is way off, his timing sucks and he looks alternatively sick, angry or distracted.  Maybe he was sick that day.  But we have to remember that it is a live performance with all the screw-ups that come with it.  Betts is still a master guitarist and band leader.    My only question is why is the sound on the CD so much fuller and better than on the DVD?  They were recorded at the same show!  I have to also highly recommend the 3 cd Instant Live set, recorded with this same band

Waste of time... . As much as I like Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, I really wanted to like this film.  I enjoyed them in Kiss The Girls, and I expected another interesting film.  Their performances were the only bright spot, but they couldn't rescue this movie.  This film was so unbelievable and disjointed it made me want to scream.  There was absolutely nothing in this film that was plausible.  As many other reviewers noted (I only wish I had read the reviews before I wasted 2 hours with this celluloid pile of feces), it was so very predictable.      I rented 2 films yesterday, and I had trouble watching both of them, for very different reasons.  The other film was "Monster", starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci.  I almost couldn't watch that film because it was so realistic and it just sucked me into the story and I forgot that it was a movie.  It absolutely is a gripping story, and Ms. Theron richly deserved the Best Actress Oscar that she received for it.  Conversely, I almost couldn't watch High Crimes because it was so ridiculous.  Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Great Play, Must See!! . This was a great play, Deborah Cox was wonderful, the singing of all the characters was unbelievable.  The interaction between the male characters was hysterical.  The character of Khalif added just the right amount of spice to the pot without being over the top.  All in all a great play about the African American male-female relationship at all different age levels

An unforgettable experience . Most of you guys for sure remember that day on july 1985 when suddenly you turned on the tv and dozens of bands played all day long their best songs for a noble and humanitarian reason. When you buy this CD remember that you are helping to save human lives in Africa, and that is worth much more than the wonderful songs that you will listen here. The best performance of all? probably Mick jagger's give me just another night, the Cars' heartbeat city, David Bowie's Heroes, Queen We are the Champions, U2's (birth to the world) bad, Tom Pettys' Refugee or Duran Duran with hall & Oates

Five Early British gems . This box set contains five Ealing Studios comedies from the fifties that are just great examples of this genre of films. I had seen Whiskey Galore and a Run for your Money before so the other three were new to me. I liked the Titfield Thunderbolt the best and the Maggie the least, but all are fine movies with typical English humor and good casts (Look for Charles Hawtry of "Carry On" fame in Passport to Pimlico). The set is a bit pricy, but if you love the British comedies of this era, it's not to be missed

Appalling Excess . I just watched this movie version of the classic childrens' book with my wife.  Here are my gut impressions:    First, very little is true to the book.  That's not really a gut impression.  That's the impression I got hearing my wife say "That's not in the book...that's not in the book..."    Actually this movie is more like a computer animation demo than a vehicle for story telling.  It makes for beautiful stills and pictures, and those made me want to see the movie.       I expected a heart warming Christmas story, and what I got was about an hour of frantic scenes of out-of-control railroad and other technology animated like never before with just enough pauses betwen them to remind me why I'm watching.  You get to see...     A kid chasing a ticket through a train,     A kid chasing a ticket over the roof of a train,     A ticket making its way through the forest -- Rube Goldberg style -- back to the train,    (Forty minutes into this movie and one girl's train ticket is the star of the show!)    OK, the ticket sub plot is resolved and we have...    A train sliding out of control on the ice,    A train trying to outrun cracks on the ice,    A train going full throttle out of control and racing up and down mountain valleys like a roller coaster (fans of the "coaster tycoon" series of computer games will feel right at home) until finally it arrives at the North Pole.     Then, the train car with the central character kids gets detached so we have...    A train car running out of control through Santa's village,    Kids getting lost in the Christmas present manufacturing plant and falling through the chutes and machinery of the factory, and then...    Kids getting lost in a bag of presents that is taken by a flying machine to Santa's sled launching pad where the star at the top of the tree is dislodged and nearly impales an innocent elf.  Ho ho ho.    At least let me have a joystick and a couple of buttons so I can help these kids out!  It's like a computer animated train wreck in fast motion.  You know it's awful but you can't look away!      And, you'd better think twice before letting any very young children see this.  It could be very frightening on a big screen with the volume turned up.  My wife and I were going to watch it with our three and six year old sons, and we were very glad that we didn't.    So, what could have been a classic, enduring, and endearing compliment to a classic childrens' Christmas story is little more than a great line for some computer animator to have on his or her resume.  Two thirds of this movie is devoted to stuff that doesn't advance the story or develop the characters one bit.  Whatever a "character driven" story is, this is the opposite.  Never have I seen so many rendered pixels doing so much and accomplishing so little.    I'd rather set up my old American Flyer electric trains and let them run around the tree while I read the book to my kids.

Laura, A Name to be Remembered! . I first saw Laura as a young woman, but I had not seen it for many years.  However, the aura of Laura remained with me through those years.  I decided to buy it after I had seen a screening of it.  I was reminded of why I liked it so much.  The stars are real and convincing.  Gene Tierney was beautiful as the mysterious Laura.  Dana Andrews was handsome and to my present-day eyes, very convincing as the astute detective McPherson.  Vincent Price is a real charmer as the erstwhile fiance Shelby.  Clifton Webb is charming as he always was as Waldo.  Otto Preminger was a wonderful director and kept the story tight and convincing with all of his characters.  The scenery was limited and tightly held.  I was particularly intrigued by the rain; it rained constantly, and some of the most interesting dialogue occurred during the various rainstorms.  Laura has become my most watched DVD because I'm constantly seeing little things that I missed before.  In addition, I adore the apartments of Laura and Waldo because they were decorated then pretty much as I want to decorate now.  Waldo's bathroom is to die for.  Incidentally, I watch the extended version because I love looking at Gene Tierney's wardrobe.

Very Clever, A lot of Fun! . Considering I just saw Cars, I wasn't so sure about Over the Hedge.  I mean, Cars actually became one of my favorites after I finished it!  But I gave this a shot and I'm glad I did.  I'll admit, the whole concept of R.J. using the others to repay a debt wasn't very original, but the way it was executed made it very enjoyable.  Now I'm debating whether or not I want to buy it.  I'd say rent it first, but if you have kids, this is a good one for your collection

Awful . I have enjoyed the Sharpe novels and have read them twice, along with most everything else Bernard Cornwell has written. Therefore I spent over $300 for the DVDs, relying on the opinions offered to Amazon.    I have played three of them and have been very dissapointed. The productions have bastardised the novels. The acting becomes laborious, the plots rediculous,the low-cost production obvious, and most of all boring. I cannot stand to look at the rest of the serious and have not done so.     I will gladly ship the lot off to anyone who will pay the shipping from South Africa.

Cliche ridden, "worst of kung fu" waste of time! . With all due respect to different tastes, I found Five Deadly Venoms lethally boring. I thought the dialog was trite and incoherent, the humor lame and predictable, the martial arts stunts and display average to bad. The plot lack subtlety, imagination or surprise and although some of the sets and costumes looked authentic, I could not finish this loser. Perhaps it was better than bad when it first came out, but hard to watch after more recent kung fu fare.

Excellent performance VERY POOR VIDEO EDIT!!!!!! . As other have stated, the performance is excellent.  My wife and I watched this in vegas and thoroughly enjoyed the show.  With that said, my review is for the extremely poor job the video editor did. They used some kind of filter on many of the shots.  They change camera angles 50 times in 1 minute to the point that is unbearable and painful to watch.  You do not get to see the dancers perform any full steps because the angle switches before they finish it.  Additionally they use these slow motion segments that totally ruin the moment and create the unsynchronized dance with the music.    I have to sell my copy because I get nauseas watching it.  I hope they re-make this DVD.  I think my 7-year old daughter could do a better job editing...and we could use the additional revenue stream...

Disappointing . First of all, for the caliber of actors in this movie, they deserved a better script.  Michelle Pfeifer and Peter Gallagher are class acts, but really this movie just did not dig deep enough. I have read all the rave reviews of Claire Danes, as I have read all the raves in the past and I am beside myself. I mean she has mastered the part of the proverbial angst-ridden pouting teenager to a tee. If this is her niche, so be it. The premise of the story is pretty decent -- a man loses his wife in a tragic freak accident and has a hard time moving on. Completely understandable.  Then his annoying sister in law and  her equally annoying husband arrive and proceed to berate the poor guy for mooning over a wife that is dead. Oh my god, stop the presses. These people had the sensitivity of androids.  It would have been nice to see him kick these people out of the house, but then the film would'nt drone on and on,  This is a good film for a rainy day.  But I expected more

Back to its origins... and the story twists and turns... . Watching this movie was like watching part 1, onlything things just got a LOT stranger, and we're finally getting up close and personal with the Tall Man.   I promise that you WILL be left hanging. If you are watching these films strictly because of 2 and 3, then you may be a little dis-appointed, as this one does deliver some really good action, but not at the end, the end is more suited for those who like to read into there movies, who like the stuff with lairs, such as myself, in which case, you are going to go DEEP into the rabbit hole with this one!     To cater to action fans, it is said that Don and Bruce (Campbell) were talking about having Bruce in Phantasm 5 and tie the Evil Dead franchise into it somehow, which could work considering that both of them deal with trancendence of time and space, and both seem to root themselves in the Lovecraftian mythos, not to mention the fact that Phantasm 2 and 3 were total Evil Dead, as well as Bubba Ho-Tep which Don aslo directed!   I really can not but love Don's non-sold out way of doing things. He raises the money for his love, and pours himself into it, has a lot of fun, and always delivers something well worth watching a million times over, so long as you have the patience or interest I guess, which ever. He's a strange one! One of the best!:)    P.S. This movie contains a lot of flashback scenes made from un-used footage form 79. A blast from the past, very cool

Amazon described the DVD as "Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, Widescreen, NTSC" with an aspect ration of 2.35:1.  However, when it arrived, it was Full Screen only with an aspect ratio of 1:33.1.  Consequently, I returned it.

Drivel . I don't like to brag, but I'd like to think that I'm a pretty good judge of movies and whether they're good or not.  I wasn't expecting a blockbuster of a movie, or anything, but MY GOODNESS, this movie was awful!  One could ask themselves, "What's wrong with this movie?" But the answer itself is the very broad question, "What isn't?" Ashley Judd plays strong, sexy women very well, but she does NOT convince me when she plays a character whom is heart-broken and borderline desperate.  Not only is Judd's character not believable, the actual plot pertaining to men behaving like cows who need many "places" to plant their seeds is just stupid. There are about a million and a half romantic comedies that are better than this, and I recommend all of them wholeheartedly over this joke of a film.  Watch A Walk to Remember instead. Although not the best movie ever, it's a heck of alot better than this drivel

Worth a rental . Let me start off by saying, I have not seen the orignal Wicker Man. This movie kept me guessing all the way through, which earns it one star. I couldn't tell if Willow was intentionally mysterious or a victim of bad acting. I did enjoy Ellen Burstyn's performance as the "Queen Bee" so to speak. So many unanswered questions or things that didn't add up stop this from being a 4 or 5 star movie. I am generally not a fan of neat, tidy, happy endings, so that wasn't a problem for me, but the numerous loose ends were. Worth a rental, but probably not worth purchasing

Well Acted But Hardly A Classic . I found the other reviews very interesting.  Yes, the movie is very well acted, which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars but frankly the abuse was so horrific I found the movie barely watchable.      I admit that when watching a movie I look for something to entertain & escape into.  If I want reality, I'll watch CNN.  For that reason, while I know child abuse exists & think it needs to be acknowledged to end it, I don't really want to watch someone hurt children (& animals).  Maybe part of the reason I had such a problem with this movie was the fact that everyone talks about what a great children's movie this is.  It's only appropriate if your idea of a children's movie is "Friday the 13th".  The violence is WAY too intense to let children watch

Witty Light Romantic Fare . Taken for what it intends, this a great film.  Formulaic? Yes, but it's a formula done well.  Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe demonstrate that light-hearted romantic stories do not require a gut-wrenching tragedy or rivalry to propel a plot.  Pour yourself a glass of red wine (the good stuff) and relax as you enjoy charming characters in breathtaking scenery.  A good vacation from reality for a couple of bucks at your local vdeo store

Gil Gerard is one fine slab of man! . Ok, now that I got your attention...     This is a great trip down memory lane for any of you Star Wars nuts that grew up in the late 70s/early 80s. Remembering how things were back in 1979, I can see how this show managed to captivate me. No internet, no video games, no cable, VHS, DVD... not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be. We had nothing else. Even though as an eight year old, I knew this was kinda lame, it was an absolute godsend when there was only one TV in the house with a total of four channels.       Anyhow, stream of consciouness bullet list:     - First season is great cheese and hot chicks, second season is horrid.   - This is what Star Trek would have been if Roddenberry had come around ten years later.  - A Gil Gerard (circa 1979) versus William Shatner (circa 1969) stagefight would probably put me into a coma due to it's mind-blowing awesomeness.   - Ahead of even the great Princess Leia and the not-quite-as-great Cassiopia, Colonel Deering and Princess Amadala are the two women who made me realize I was down with the ladies, if you catch my very blatant drift. Nothing surpirsing here, but Erin Gray was my first crush.  - Twiki is not nearly as annoying as some stick-in-the-mud types would have you believe. His cheeseball comic relief works perfectly with Gil's cheeseball chest carpet and martial arts ability.  - Every scene involving "dancing from the future" or previously referenced martial arts is twenty times more entertaining that anything in the history of "reality TV".   - Hawk is not an interesting character, he is just the least crappy thing in a completely crappy second season.   - There are no extras at all, pretty dissapointing given the price point and the target audience of sci-fi geeks who thrive on that kinda stuff    In conclusion: I miss the days when Sci-Fi didn't have to beat you over the head and then strangle you with nothing but dread and darkness and doom. Buck Rogers takes place in post-apocolyptic, nuclear wasteland, mutants living in the desert, planet Earth... and it's still a hundred times less depressing than any of the cookie cutter sci-fi series plopped out in the last ten years.     Of course, we are a much more critical society nowadays... plumped up on years of cable networks, easily accessible VHS/DVD movies and other competitors for our time. Long gone are the days of shows like this. Shows where everybody involved, audience included, knew it was escapist/fantasy crap but just went along and had fun with it. Gil Gerard is an absolute joy to watch just because you always knew he was in on the joke (at least during the first season). Everybody takes themselves too seriously nowadays, especially Sci-Fi. The new Battlestar series is so painfully self-aware it's basically a soap-opera that happens to be in space.     Anyhoo... If are a male sci-fi fan who was between the ages of let's say... 6 to 12... when this series made it's run, go out and buy it. For better or worse, Buck Rogers took me back to the late 70s much more effectively than Star Wars or Battlestar.     4/5 only due to the complete lack of extra

MUST HAVE for Fans of Bible Stories on DVD! SAVE $$$ While Building Your Library! . I bought all of these 6 DVDs separately because I did not know that they came as a set, at a better price! I paid about $15 each, about $90 total, and I do not regret owning them all, but I would have jumped on this set if I had known about it!    Most of these DVDs are very interesting and faithful to Scripture. SAMSON & DELILAH is the weakest of these 6 DVDs, as it spends too much time on non-scriptural characters. ABRAHAM covers many scenes of the 40 year wandering rarely seen on DVD. JACOB is pretty close to Scripture. JOSEPH is great, but it spends a bit too much time rewriting the narration to allow for Ben Kingsley's Potiphar role to expand. I have not yet watched DAVID, but I look forward to Leonard Nimoy's appearance in the film.    Most of these films are 3 hours long, presumably they were mostly all short mini-series when they originally ran on TV. I think only JACOB is about 90 minutes, of the 6 DVDs in this set. You can read about each DVD as they are all sold separately on amazon.com.    All of these 6 DVDs have major TV network, made-for-TV quality, and I am quite surprised and pleased that these movies are so good. I do not know of any better series of Bible stories on DVD.    There is another Box Set available, THE BIBLE SERIES BOX SET, which has 3 other DVDs of this series of movies. JEREMIAH is my favorite of all 9 movies. ESTHER is great, and perhaps the most faithful to Scriptural accuracy and chronology of all 9 movies. SOLOMON is the only 3 hour DVD in this smaller Box Set. There is a GENESIS in this Box Set, but it is not a dramatized movie, just a narration of the book of Genesis, while modern day nomads are shown going about their daily routine. GENESIS is a disappointment and very UNLIKE the other 9 movies, so much so that it doesn't even seem to be part of the same production series.    Bottom Line: I highly recommend that anybody buy both of these box sets, and they will save about 50% over buying each DVD separately! Praise the LORD

Top Ten Food Movie . I spent two weeks cruising the Italian neighborhoods of San Francisco looking for a restaurant like the one portrayed so richly in this movie. And I found one! Unfortunately, as might have been predicted from the film, it lasted only a few months before folding.   There's more to Big Night than the food. It's outrageously funny, for one thing, a quality many reviewers seemed not to appreciate. The acting is brilliant; for once, everyone acts in ensemble. It's original, not quite any Hollywood genre. It's poignant, in emotional terms most people can find believable. Is it a GREAT movie? Dumb question! It's a movie you'll enjoy and remember

Kinda Dull . These old movies are best kept in your memory.  When you rewatch them, it becomes so clear that they're like ancient history.  Weirdly, 1960's movies are more dated than those of the 1920's.  What was going on in that decade that caused people to make heroes of anti-heroes that are litttle more than dirty criminals?  The only redeeming part of the film is the setting in the Cajon Pass before the rampage of urbanization that is quickly destroying it

A Lot of Confusion Over This Film . I'm not sure what film Frankie Flanagan, Ross Hughes, 'A viewer', Breandan or Elizabeth J. Shannon were commenting on, but it doesn't seem possible that it was 'Bloody Sunday'.  Ms. Shannon, Ross Hughes and 'A viewer' seem to think that the film is pro-IRA - boy, did they miss the point.  As for Abe "Starman" in WVA, clearly he doesn't even understand the basic facts behind the film.  As for Roland Zwick and Gitana3000, I think they need to gain some experience in accented English.  The Northern Irish dialect is not that hard to understand.  Heck, go and see a movie set in Yorkshire, Glasgow or Durham - those are difficult accents.  It's a fact of modern realistic filmmaking that when a film is set in Northern Ireland it's going to feature Northern Irish accents - it's something everyone should be able to deal with.  Heck, I found the movie 'Matewan' difficult to understand, but I don't demand subtitles, or that they tone down the accents, for a movie that's in my own language.  Instead I learn to understand the variations - it's not that difficult, and it's something that stands a person in good stead when he ventures out into the real world.  Only in US documentaries and news shows do we see subtitles when people are speaking clear and intelligable English.  What is it with that?  I mean do people in New York need subtitles when listening to folks from North Dakota?    Anyway, rant over.  This is a great film which gives Bloody Sunday very evenhanded treatment.  Perhaps if people saw the film before commenting, and perhaps if they took the time to understand the film before they started to write a review, this film would get fairer reviews.    As others here have said, don't see this movie and think it gives an overview of 'The Troubles' because it doesn't.  It shows one day when one group of soldiers killed a lot of innocent people - as such it illustrates how poor armies are at keeping the peace - it shows how the British Army killed a few of the 365 people it killed during 'The Troubles'.  What it doesn't show is how brutal the IRA, INLA & other so-called 'republicans' (who killed 2153 people) or the Loyalists (who killed 1080) can be

Tedious, ham-fisted direction, groan-inducing dialog...simply awful . Antzcak's direction is inexplicable and the film is weighed down by a directionless, melodramatic script and technical shortcomings. The ADR (dialog overdubbing) is incompetent and terribly distracting, making the film sound like a radio drama recorded in a basement; all the more odd considering that in all other respects the project seems well-funded and professional -- great sets, superior costuming and impeccable lighting. The gorgeous cinematography is brutalized by a directorial style characterized by long, tedious dialog punctuated by frenetic, fast-cut flashback and dream sequences that contribute neither to our understanding of Chopin's character nor the events driving the plot forward. Non-sequiturs abound; Antzcak seems to have been attempting to create a mood piece to accompany the brilliant musical performances, rather than a sustained narrative. But the only moods sustained are bewilderment and boredom.    Chopin comes off as a selfish boor of a prima dona; perhaps historically acurate, but hardly compelling on screen. What does it say about this movie that, in a crucial scene where a wagon carrying Chopin nearly topples over a precipice, you find yourself rooting for the precipice?    Unlike the vastly superior Amedeus or the merely pedestrian Immortal Beloved, you learn nothing about the connection between the composer's life and his music. Antzack seems singularly uninterested in the historical signifigance of Chopin's acheivement, the nature of his talent's development, his freindship/rivalry with Liszt, or the musical environment of the day. Desire for Love actually has more in common with a film like Jules et Jim, in that it dwells on the inner dynamics of a doomed and disfunctional romance; unfortunately the characters aren't one tenth as compelling or sympathetic.    Desire for Love ends with the composer's protracted death, like Amadeus and Immortal Beloved did with Mozart and Beethoven, respectively. But it fails to evoke the tragic mood of the latter two; the film itself seems infected by a consumptive, cinematic analog of the protagonist's malaise, eating itself from within and finally wheezing to a merciful termination

The best volume yet . This volume of Mai Hime is definitely my favorite so far.  There's tons of action, some really nice plot twists and drama to go along with it.  I won't give out any spoilers but if you have been watching Mai Hime and have been a bit bored or hesitant to continue watching this set of episodes really comes through on what we've all been waiting for.

Ouitstanding Movie . Not a fan of graphic novels or CGI, I was fully prepared to dislike this movie, but found it to be so well written, cast and shot that I will no doubt buy it for my collection. It's a dark movie, subversive really, but carries a strong message that tyranny will not long survive the will of the people, that one strong person with a will, determination and the cleverness to use the tools of the corrupt against them, can turn the tide. It's a powerful message, and it's beautifully displayed with imaginative imagery, symbolism and script. Bravo

Vampires: Los Suckos . This brainless, low-budget attempt to cash in on the success of John Carpenter's Vampires was so foul and lame that the studios couldn't even bribe one of their lap-dog "reviewers" to crank out a glowing review for the DVD cover. Or maybe they couldn't afford the kickback--who knows? In any case, the bad casting and inept acting had a kind of narcotic quality like an over-the-counter sleeping pill and the movie had so many plot holes that I used the DVD later to drain my spaghetti.

Evil Has Many Faces! . After the death of his mother, Elijah Wood is left with his uncle's family while dad David Morse takes off for two weeks to settle their future. Uncle has two children: a little girl and an older boy Wood's age: Macaulay Culkin. Behind Culkin's angelic visage, naturally, lurks the soul of a devil. Wood suspects the evil, but no one will believe him, and so he is left alone to try to stop the increasingly deadly games his cousin is playing.    Director Joseph P. Ruben made something of a career of telling tales of domestic horror, what with this, The Stepfather and Sleeping with the Enemy. He claims, in the featurette, to want to reverse our expectations about Culkin's character, which is, of course, nonsense: we know going in that he's bad. And familiar as Evil Child territory is (think The Bad Seed, The Other, The Omen, etc., etc., etc.), this is still an effective example of the genre, benefiting from an admirably economical narrative.    The menu is basic, as are the extras: the theatrical trailer, and the usual featurette. Nuthin' special.    Very much a catalogue-filler release, with no real value-added on this disc. Sound and picture are acceptable, and the movie is a decent 86 minutes

Great film, lousy DVD . I'm really tired of the shoddy DVD manufacturing used by many studios and distributors.    This is a great film.  I have it on tape.  I was thrilled to see it'd been released on DVD.  I love Italian knock-offs of American films (STREET LAW seems inspired by DEATH WISH), and I'm a Barbara Bach fan.    So I bought this STREET LAW DVD brand new, as soon as Amazon offered it, without waiting for the price to go down.  I unwrap the pristine-looking DVDm pop it into the player, and after a few minutes it pauses.    Then it pauses again.  It pauses constantly throughout the film.  I mean at least once a minute, often several times a minute.  Pause, pause, pause.  Most of the pauses are brief, some last several seconds.  I eventually took out the DVD, cleaned it, but it didn't help.  I suffered through 50 minutes of this film, then gave up.    VHS was a decent format.  Tape had problems, but nowhere near as bad as DVD, with all the skipping and scratching.  (And Google "DVD rot" -- see what comes up.)      Still, changing formats is a great way for studios to resell us movies we'd already bought, so I guess it makes sense for them.    I don't know whether I got a bad copy of STREET LAW, or if this DVD is part of a bad batch, or how widespread the problem is.  But beware

Fantastic - Full Length & All Music - This Is The One To Own . Great childhood pictures of Karen and her brother. This video is non-stop music combined with photos and videos from the past. Especially for those who heard the Carpenters on the radio day after day, this video is a real treat.

INSPIRATIONAL MASTERPIECE . Flawless movie making at its best! Patriotic and powerful telling of the true beginning-of-the-end for the Confederacy. Ex-slaves and free blacks alike, finally allowed to defend their dignity, were the final blow to the Southern bondage of an entire race of human beings history tells us. The Truth based story of the Massachusetts 54th. Only the beginning of black heroics during the Civil War.     From the dignified talent of Morgan Freeman, to Denzel Washington's Academy Award winning performance as a militant loud mouth runaway, great acting to suit everything else about this film. And another level of respect achieved for Matthew Broderick indeed. So many standout scenes, but most memorable, Denzel's beating. Back already scarred from his cruelly treated past, he takes his punishment in total silence. Only allowing a single tear to fall during a cinematic closeup. Heartbreaking.    The highest rating possible.

Best Batman Made Yet . This is by far the best Batman movie. I give Batman Returns and Batman Begins a lot of credit, but you can't beat the cast assembled for this movie. The combination of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson is incredibe, and Kim Basinger, Billy Dee Williams, and Jack Palance make a good supporting cast. The story is excellent, with plenty of action. Tim Burton could not have directed this movie any better, creating a dark and eerie feeling throughout the entire movie. Overall, this movie is superb in every category.

A Big Waste Of Time!!!! . I loved the original movie, and I love Johnny Depp so I thought this movie would be awesome.Wrong wrong wrong!! First of all, the child actors were horrible, well the Charlie and Mike characters were ok, but the two girl actors were the worst I've seen in a long time. And what did they do to Johnny Depp? He was so creepy and weird. I took my nine year old to see it in the theater, and even she almost fell asleep. If you really want a treat watch the original with Gene Wilder

Will film critics stop praising how glorious Tarantino is!!! . Yes, this movie is awe-inspiring, awesome (I'm running out of adjectives here, lol) but will certain film critics (Roger Ebert I hope you read this) stop going around and saying how everything with dark humor, odd narrative, talky dialogue, etc., is Tarantino-esque?? Without Godard writing the blueprint on how to be a film essayist, there wouldn't be a Tarantino-esque (QT also owes a lot to Elmore Leonard, Scorsese, DePalma, and blaxploitation.). If I read one more review from overrated critic Ebert about how Tarantino paved the way for filmmakers that have a Godardian bite to their films, I might kill myself, lol    He never says how great of an influence Godard had on Tarantino. Nor does any other critics say how Godard's "Breathless" created modern cinema. Its as though these critics totally ignored Godard's methods, and pretend geeks like Tarantino created them. Shame on you Ebert.    That's like saying Christina Aguilera created that soulful yet high-scale histeronic singing she does, when Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey did it before her. Give people the credit they deserve

Where is the button for -0- stars?! . Thinly veiled attempt to push politically correctness down the throats of our children, sacrificing the faith and beliefs of their elders in the attempt.  Aren't we so fortunate to have filmmakers to teach our children for us what their priorities and beliefs should be?  Oh pleeeeze! I'm so glad I could watch this one with my daughter so I could point out the obvious attempts at manipulation.  We discussed the issues, and thought for ourselves.

embarrassing . Seldom has so much talent (and MONEY!) been wasted on such unentertaining silliness.    Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith, Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins--it is painful to watch them cope with the bad writing, overemoting, over-elaborate (and dull) sets, and just general aimlessness of this picture.    Everybody works REALLY hard, and the strain shows.    The fun seems forced, the situations pointless, the message ham-handed, and the music--oh, my goodness--the music is the most syruppy mess this side of "Pearl Harbor."    Even the special effects are less than special.    All in all, very uncomfortable to sit through

Great film performed  by a great cast. . This first scene of this film caught my attention immediately, it was sort of telling me "Sit tight and pay attention Jenny." "Sólo mía' is another film about gender violence in the family. It adopts a totally different attitude to the subject matter when compared with Icíar Bollaín's film which is at once more subtle in its telling.   `Sólo mía' shoves the nitty-gritty between your teeth so that you can choke on it: some of the scenes are too explicit, one might argue, and are numerously frequent; in `Te doy Mis Ojos' the hard subject matter is more carefully handled.    However, Paz Vega, who starred in `Lucía y el Sexo' (qv) the same year, put in a recommendable performance as the badly beaten and tortured young mother; Sergi López as her husband plays his part well, though at times seemed to over forcefully portray his performance, thus almost beggaring belief. It should be said that his role was very tricky, to say the least. I feel that Luis Tosar carried off his performance in `Te doy Mis Ojos' more convincingly, with better balancing between the extremes of tensions and feelings.    The rest of the cast form a good back-up to the leading couple.    This film also points an accusing finger at the legal system, in which hypocritical legalities and aloofness does little - or nothing - to help solve this horrifying situation so evident today in so many headlines in Spain today. Something has got to be done: more than 70 women were killed in `gender violence' in Spain in 2003. At the end it's a great film, I truly admire European cinema that doesn't sugar coat their films. Highly recommended.

Not worth your money!! . I found this version at the library and decided to check it out. I was amazed at how bad it was. For one thing, they changed the story around which was bothersome. The singing is really bad, and I think the thing that that bothered me the most is the strange costumes (Tamino looks like an elf!) I also hated all the strange creatures that come out, instead of animals coming out when Tamino plays his flute, they have people prancing out on stage dressed as who knows what. The whole thing was just horrible, costumes, the set, everything...and a lot of times when the commentator is explaining a certain part, it'll be playing a whole different aria (or the wrong part of the aria.) The whole thing is so chopped up, and the DVD is more blurry and grainy than I've ever seen anything on DVD before. I wouldn't buy it or even waste yout time getting it from the library. You're better off buying a REAL production on DVD of the Magic Flute for your kids, such as the one at the Met with Kathleen Battle.

"I saw you in an orange grove..." . James Mangold Identity is one hell of a movie. The twist is amazing, didn't see that coming. The ending will shock you to pieces. John Cusack and Amanda Peet are superb in their roles, he plays a former cop and she plays a hooker trying to get home to Flordia. Clea Duvall also appears in this film, Duvall was previously in Girl, Interrupted (another Mangold film). This film kept me interested for all its 90 minutes. Great direction, top-notch acting, and awesome plot. Identity is the best pyschological thriller of all-time, I highly recommend this engrossing little film

SUCKS. . Garbage. They tweaked it in every place that didn't need tweaking. Straker is no longer bald, Matt Burke is no longer caucasion, and now he's gay. The bus driver is now a vietnam vet instead of korea. In this adaptation, Ben Mears was the kid who found the bodies of Hubie Marsten and his wife. The story begins in winter instead of late summer. Ralphie Glick doesn't just go missing, he's drowned in an icey pond. Instead of Ben Mears coming to town and finding the Marsten house already sold, Crockett has already promised it to Mears, but now he's renegged and sold it out from under him. I don't see the point. They didn't just change the story, they didn't leave anything intact. It's bad. It's unwatchable, especially if you loved the book. None of the characters have Maine accents... Hmm. Could it have been filmed in... oh I dunno... AUSTRALIA PERHAPS?

Heartwarming, good for all ages . I remember watching Anne of Green Gables when I was a little girl with my sister, over and over again. Laughing everytime Anne broke her slate on Gilberts head, or when she accidently dyed her hair green, or when she waxes poetic about her "bosom friend". It made me smile and laugh then and still does now as a 25 year old. I would recommend this movie for anyone young or old. It is a beautiful heartwarming movie, with gorgeous scenery, unforgettable characters, and plenty of moments to laugh and cry

Enjoyable . I utilize this tape on those days that aren't scheduled "off" days but on which I really have a hard time gathering the oomph for my usual high intensity workouts.  I do break a sweat, but I have dance experience and can embellish moves as needed.  In general, I love dance but despise dance workouts, (boring and often annoying), but this instructor is genuine and her choices and pacing are appropriate.  Further, she breaks the video down into mini-routines, so if you wanted to, you could memorize the routines and mix and match them to your own music, (she provides counts - mostly 8 but some 4 & 16 - throughout the video).  The background dancers have typical bodies rather than being ridiculously skinny with huge boobs, which is a nice change.  Finally, if you do not emphasize your core and hip movements, this workout will be much less effective, so if you haven't danced before and aren't used to posture and breathing, keep in mind that you will need to focus on using these muscles, or your moves will be too sloppy to provide a workout

Hilarious Sleeper Comedy . It isn't much of a surprise that "Dick" did not garner much of an audience when it was released in 1999 on the 25th anniversary of Nixon's resignation.  A few years earlier Oliver Stone's unintentionally comic "Nixon" laid a box office egg as well.  This hilarious film deserves to be seen because it is just a laugh-out-loud riot.  The plot involves two oblivious teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) who form a friendship with Nixon and are employed as his dogwalkers.  All goes swimmingly until they unearth tapes in the Oval Office that reveal that Nixon is mean to his dog.  The gloves come off at this point.  No man who can be mean to his dog deserves to hold the highest office in the land.  Dunst and Williams are bubblingly hilarious as the girls.  Dan Hedaya does a dead-on hilarious rendering of Nixon.  Alot of amusing cameos including Will Ferrell, Harry Shearer, and Dave Foley.  Great period soundtrack, too.  I saw this film originally at a repertory house on a double-bill with "All the President's Men".  Guess which film left a more lasting impression
