New transfer on the VIP Edition . Everyone here seems to want to chime in their own commentary on the film's content, so I'm only going to bring up the only thing that matters--how does this new transfer measure up?    The new anamorphic widescreen transfer alone makes upgrading to this edition a no-brainer. If you are trying to decide weather to get this hopped-up edition (VIP), or the old version, this is the one to get. Who cares about all the junk in the box, I gave mine all away, I just wanted the new version of the movie. As of this writing, the VIP edition is only way to get the anamorphic version.    The older, original issue of this film is non-amamorphic and will not be suitable if you have a widescreen or a 4:3 HDTV with 16x9 enhancement (unless you want use the "zoom" effect).

Very funny over-the-top LDS Humor . I was very surprised by some of comments by those who gave negative reviews. This is a comedy and it was meant to be over the top. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, many of us have met folks who approach both ends of the spectrum presented by the two main characters. This fact and similar stereotypes are what make these two caricatures so funny. My wife and I were rolling during several of the scenes. Better than some LDS movies (RM, It's Latter-day Night), nearly as good as others (God's Army, Singles Ward, Saints and Soldiers), it's worth a view if you want to have a good laugh

Stick with the original . When Hollywood decided that the classic Christmas cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas needed updating, I experienced a quaver of fear. How, I wondered, could anyone bring the classic Dr. Seuss tale and its gnarly green villain to life as vividly as the 1966 animation?    I can give a mixed report. Jim Carrey, in the title role, does a marvelous job recreating the nasty antithesis of Yuletide joy. His actions and facial contortions are near-perfect (although his voice, I must admit, pales in comparison to the cartoon version's Boris Karloff). He dominates the entire film with energy and antics only slightly overshadowed by his prodigious makeup and costume. Anthony Hopkins also did good work as the narrator.    But director Ron Howard didn't do the Seuss story complete justice. Instead of reimagining the original through a new lens, he gave us a completely different story. The Whos of Who-ville are the primary victims here -- where once they were beatific inhabitants of a remote and pastoral village, they've become greedy, materialistic, hard-partying gluttons in a town based solely on marketing and capitalism.    Cindy Lou Who, the innocent tot who discovers the Grinch at his nefarious thievery, is now an older child (Taylor Momsen) bent on redeeming the famous hermit, who boldly braves his mountain fastness to spread her version of holiday cheer. Even the Grinch's pseudo-Santa sleigh has been reinvented, now boasting rocket boosters. And the new back-story, which attempts to explain the Grinch's Christmas loathing, doesn't make a lot of sense. While the cartoon gave us a villain who was evil, rotten to his core and filled with inexplicable rage at the world, this Grinch is simply misunderstood and overly mischievous. Also, should the Grinch's big redemption scene really involve so much heart-thumping pain?    I feel sorry for the children who will grow up associating this movie with Dr. Seuss' marvelous story, rather than the animated feature which still holds up so well after 35 years. A favorite Christmas tradition has been replaced with typical Hollywood glitz and glitter, and the season is poorer for it. Please, if you have children (or a childlike fascination for Christmas), stick with the original.    by Tom Knapp, Rambles edito

Suprisingly good, much better than I thought . WOW! This was a pretty decent romantic comedy. We had this in our collection for months (Possibly years) and never watched it. We decided to watch this film on a whim. I have to say that it was better and ever funnier than I thought it would be.    Monica Potter is great in her role. It's a sweet movie that actually doesn't do to much guy bashing (the reason so many guys hate romantic comedies). I am also a big fam of Henry Thomas, and he is great at as well.    I won't go into the plot here, as many others already have. But what I am simply amazed with as many bad romantic comedies that get released in theatres (Sweet Home Alabama & 13 Going on 30) that a movie like this never got mainstream attention.     The other thing that must be said is, with virtually no cute romatic female leads under 40 (and over 18), why isn't Monica Potter more famous than she is. She can easily be the next Julia Roberts, or Meg Ryan. Julia has 2 kids and Meg has just hit the wall, it's time for a beauty like Monica Potter to get into the very lucrative Romantic Comedy genre. Here's hoping she gets a better agent before it's to late.    Cute movie, with a good heart. Definetly made a date night at home wonderful.    -Mark  (for the record 32yrs old, straight and yes I enjoyed this movie)

The baby-size DVD for weddings . I have to qualify this review in that I viewed this DVD that a friend had purchased for themselves; they wanted something that wasn't immensely detailed, and they felt it was a good reference tool for their needs. I had purchased Martha's "Complete Weddings" DVD, so it was an interesting comparison of the two. If you are looking for a brief overview of wedding planning, then this would be a very well-done general reference guide. It will give you an overview of wedding day idea's and will be most helpful.     You get a little bit of flowers, dresses, cakes, atmosphere, etc. so this is an informative, but basic, tool to help you in your plans. The quality of film, sound, and color is superb, as always. She gives her lessons slow enough to take notes, but still with enough information that you feel you have a good hold of the subject.     This is a wonderful choice for the basics of wedding planning, or even for a fancy party. Congratulations on one of the happiest days of your lives!!

Excellent in almost every way . I am a relative newcomer to the world of Adam Dalgliesh, both in print and in film.  I had read both this novel and a predecessor, 'A Certain Justice,' and came across this film as it was presented over a two-night episode of PBS 'Mystery!.'  I am, as it bears mentioning, completely unfamiliar with the work of Roy Marsden in this role, and so approach this presentation with relatively fresh eyes. (Although, I doubt I would have enjoyed his performance having been completely captivated by 'The Sandbaggers.')  Shaw's presentation of Dalgliesh is understated, and most definitely contemplative.  Those looking for melodrama will be deeply disappointed.  The film retains all the essential elements of the novel, and most of the subtext usually lost in novel to film translations is pleasantly preserved in this rendition.  Certain motivations of the secondary characters are truncated, but this is a necessary convention of the form, and is not done capriciously or in disservice to the overall narrative.  My only complaint is the presentation of the actual physical church building.  Given its importance in the overall story, more effort could have been made to create a more imposing, reverant, and solemn atmosphere of this crucial location.  As this is but a minor quibble, I hardily recommend this production, and give it four stars

Uncut Funk . If you are looking for and need special features and clips that are as slick as any music video being produced in 2007, then I'm sorry to say you will be disappointed with The Mothership Connection Live From Houston.    For everyone else, what the DVD chronicles is P Funk the way it sounded and was performed each night in the mid-1970s; you just never knew who may show up to make the concert just a bit more funkier. By the end of the show, the opening act - Sly and The Family Stone - along with Bootsy Collins and members of his Rubber Band are in on the funkified jam.    Recorded in 1976, it was at a time when concerts weren't being chronicled on a nightly basis for possible future use. I would wager that a member of the stage crew decided to capture the gig on tape and it was gathering dust in a vault somewhere before the audio was enhanced about as well as it could have been for release.     What makes this a special gem is the "rough" nature of the video. The band and guest performers were not on stage knowingly making a movie; this is a tour date with all the power, energy & surprises that George Clinton delivered each night to the audience. That in itself makes the DVD an important part of any music collection.

Why oh why? . Let me start by saying the first movie of the series was absolutely fantastic. Regardless of the fact that it didn't stick with a few key plotlines in the book, everyone still did a great job adapting the original Jurassic Park. Then came this piece of trash...    Whereas the first movie at least attempted to loosely base itself on the book, this one just takes the brilliant writing of Michael Chrichton and throws it directly out the window.     First off, John Hammond is supposed to be dead. He dies at the end of the first novel. Secondly Ian Malcome is supposedly dead, or at least MIA at the end of the first book, and we join him in a costarican hospital in the opening of the 2nd. There is no bratty daughter, and the entire premise has much more to it.    MOST IMPORTANTLY... the entire ending in san diego with the T-Rex... which was possibly the worst conceived plot line in the history of movies... did not exist in the book!     I went into this movie expecting a tightly woven plot, a huge concentration on the conspiracy of having such an island exist, and the anticipation of some good dino-scenes to top it off.  What I ended up getting was the writing equivalent of a monkey at a typewriter drooling on a page. Not only that... but because of the lack of plot, the dino scenes are complete over-kill. When you see so much of it, you lose that awe and wonder of the first film. When you see that Brachiosaur in the first 20 mins of the original film, the wonderment is difficult to rival. There are no such moments in this film.    If you're looking for a quick fix for decent looking dino FX, go nuts. However, if you're looking for something more substantial with an actual plotline, flick off the dvd player and pick up the book.    Oh and one more thing... don't go NEAR the 3rd movie. They didn't even have a book to be untrue to. I can't imagine how much more long-winded and rambling my review would be for that one

Are you looking for a bath of gory fun? This is the movie that MUST be in your collection if you are a blood hound like myself. Ash is at his weakest in this version of the series, but this is how he gets started. The cast is much different than that of Evil Dead 2, and by far, this film is MUCH gorier, as preferred.

Idiotic movie about really stupid people . Maybe the 1995 script was edgy and groundbreaking, but I doubt it. Since Vanilla Ice was in and out of the cultural eye 4 years before the spec script and 15 years before this movie, the concept of white kids trying to act black in the most ugly ghetto stereotypes is just not all that new. I went to high school with kids like this and I've bought the Eminem CD. And there's a little more to them than the stupidity. But let's discuss the movie.    Anne Hathaway plays a dumb girl who thinks that acts ghetto in her gated community and urges her boyfriend to go buy drugs in East L.A. (??). Seeing her boyfriend beat down, she's eager to return and find that hot latino dude that did the beating. Then she goes to parties, gets into even more trouble and starts losing her Jerry Springer-inspired ghetto talk. The Mexican guy keeps trying to tell her that there's more to his life than selling crack on the street corner, but well he's doing a lot of selling crack on the street corner. Actually, he's coming off like a gangsta Yoda ready to impart life lessons at the drop of a hat. Yes, it's ironic that she's trying to dress ghetto while he's trying (not very hard) to dress suburban (wife beater is suburban?)    The movie's climax is a scene in which Anne and Bijou ask the guys if they can join their "crew" and if the gang didn't have a sex gang initiation for women before they asked, they sure have it then (and really, who doesn't know that that's gang initiation standard - started by the Hell's Angels in 1965). After that disaster (both Anne and Bijous say no - but Bijou takes a little more time saying no) the movie unravels as Anne Hathaway discovers her inner WHITE GIRL and her friends act even more stupid. There's a neat scene between her and Bijou Philips toward the end that almost makes me like these people, but it's one of the few points of truth in an otherwise dumb movie.    The one thing this movie does is to make me appreciate DJ Squalls' character from Hustle & Flow (and Hustle & Flow in and of itself) since that's a white character in a black world that doesn't fall into either extreme of wigger or Doogie Howser. He's just himself whereever he goes. He's someone the morons of this movie could learn from (but really wouldn't you rather just see them all shot dead?

Please enter a title for your review . One of the most overrated comedy shows ever. Basically the calibre of a high school talent show. In a way it reminds me of Tom Goes To The Mayor, seemingly fitting into a comedy niche I don't understand which is more about being weird than being clever, but it seems like it's even more about being dull than being weird. I've heard improv described as being not about trying to think of something funny to say but just saying whatever comes into your head. I think these guys took that a bit too much to heart. Maybe the fans see some subtle naunces I'm missing, but to me it seems like I could have written most of this material with little effort.

A Film For Those Who Believe In "The One True Love" . To appreciate this story, you have to believe that two people can meet and quickly fall forever into forbidden love. That is what is at the heart of this film. If you can't accept that premise, the movie simply does not work. And what makes it throb with life for me are the excellent performances of Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle whose mutual passion sweeps us along. Paltrow and Eckhart are a secondary love story here, but you never feel that they really care for one another. Worth your time if you are a romantic. OK, I'm a romantic. Sue me

Are You Serious? . I watched this movie with my 7 year old daughter, and regretted it about 10 minutes in.  After reading Queen Bees & Wannabees, I can't help but despair whenever I look over the precipice and get a glimpse into teen girl world.      In Barbie's envisioning of this world the central theme is to "be yourself", but in the end they only seek themselves in a banal existence of dress shopping, chasing each others' boyfriends, inventing lip gloss disguised as a highlighter, deciding what to wear to an afternoon of watching cute boys practice football, and halfheartedly pursuing a career as a rock star.  While I realize that this is teenage girl reality, is this what needs to be held up to pre-teens as a personality blueprint?    The popular girls look exactly like the unpopular girls, so it's not like the criteria for who gets to set foot on the "popular lawn" is really clear, other than you have to be mean-spirited and backstabbing.  But at least they somewhat captured the spirit of what it's like to be on the outside looking in.    Of course, there's the "magic diary" aspect of the story, which seemed the only tie to the "other" Barbie world (Fairytopia, Mermadia, et all).  I realized then what I was really watching...a marketing cry for help from Mattel.  The target demo for Barbie has shrunk to 3-6 year old girls, and they're trying desperately to expand back into the 7-11 range that other brands like Bratz are chipping away at.  I promptly dumped all Mattel stock from my 401k.

A Quiet, Chilling Masterpiece . Whether you're drawn to suave action heroes tossing out wry quips while emptying machine-guns into charging hoards, or of nearly wordless, hours-long existential explorations of meaningfulness and nothingness, "I'm Not Scared" will likely find in you a delighted new fan.    For the subtitle-phobic: take a risk!  "I'm Not Scared" is refreshingly original, quietly chilling, and continually surprising to the end.  The cast, led by 10 year-old Guiseppe Cristiano, is uniformly solid, and the Oscar-caliber photography is nothing short of brilliant.    The smart, effective score never gets overly dramatic nor does it tip the audience as to how it's "supposed" to feel. Its quiet beauty merely serves to support and bind the elements of the story, while standing humbly in the background.      I discovered this film quite by accident, having read no reviews, and now consider it to be my "find" of the year. I recommend "I'm Not Scared" without reserve or hesitation to anyone who ever wondered what his or her parents really did to make their money

Its a cardio + sculpt video. I really enjoy the step aerobics segment. Emily is a great leader. She cues well and she is energetic.

disappointed . I have been buying workout video's/DVD's with Denise Austin for years and have been very happy with them.  However since Denise is no longer with Artisan (she is now with Lions Gate) the quality has changed.  The camera man can't seem to sit still.  When I buy a workout DVD, it's not because I want to look at a pertty face. Far to often the camera man is giving an up close of a face when he should be showing the whole body so we can see what we, or as in this case our child/ren, need to do.  By the second workout, the camera man slowed it down making it much easier to follow.  Still, it is not the quality I am used to from Denise.  It could have been a great workout but instead it was a big disappointment

This goes waaaay too far - unrated version . First of all - even though most of my friends hate them - I must admit that I do enjoy watching some good horror flicks. My DVD collection is also primarily concentrating on this genre. Besides classics, such as "Psycho", "The Haunting (original)", "Rosemary's Baby", "The Exorcist", "The Omen (original)", "The Shining", "The Changeling", "Halloween", "Alien" and "The Evil Dead". I also enjoy more recent flicks, such as "The 6th Sense", "The Others", "The Ring (US version)", "The Grudge (US version)" "The Descent", "Dawn Of The Dead (Remake)" and "TCM 2003 Remake".  The Problem with "The Beginning" is, that   A. the viewer knows that nobody will survive this massacre the second the movie starts. Which leads to the fact that no hero can be found in this movie!  B. Nobody gets to know why Leatherface turned out this way. Damn, they could've atleast shown some flashbacks or a decent intro as e.g.in "House Of Wax".  C. There is waaaay too much unnecessary gore and therefore lack of true suspense.  These facts, especially the last, make this movie a over the top gorefest in the same league as "Wolf Creek", "High Tension", "Hostel" and "Saw (Sequels)". As one re-viewer stated. Horror movies should entertain by giving the viewer bonechilling suspense and a few good scares. This movie sadly couldn't succeed, due to unnecessary gore, splatter and blood. I don't need that

Suspense at its best . Alfred Hitchcock works wonders in relating what the actual movie audience does -- sit in a theater and watch events unfold througout a narrative sequence -- by portraying that in his film "Rear Window."    Through the eyes of Jefferies (Jimmy Stewart), we see the events that lead up to the suspicion of a murder that happens across his courtyard. He sees the events unfold through the window of his apartment, just as we see them on the movie screen.    Hitchcock uses suspense, point of view and camera angles to suck the audience into his own little movie world, with just a little voyueristic flair thrown in

Good Thought Provoking Themes Well Done . Although some people might not like the melancholic feel of this movie, it a well done piece exploring the theme of personal redemption and forgiveness.  People don't always approach these topics in the same way and this movie doesn't try to spin a single, simple answer.  The notable cast works well creating a compelling tale.  A great movie to talk about after viewing.   Highly recommend

EXCELLENT Oscar worthy movie! . I think that Tsotsi was a very moving and inspirational movie; very worthy of the Oscar and all the awards that it won. It is so refreshing to see a movie that isn't marred by all the gliz and glam of Hollywood. Well done Mr. Chweneyagae and cast. We hope to see more of you in the future

AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE . The main theme of this film is well known and very well worked out.  Two enemies meet in a neutral surrounding.  They want to kill each other, but by one reason or another, they don't.  Sounds familiar?  Well here we have an extra twist - a woman.  None of these three people understand each other; they speak different languages and they have different backgrounds.  There is no understanding but yet there is some.  They feel each other.    The film is smartly complemented by the excellent director's work, superb acting, top cinematography, and the beautiful scenery of (Laplandia - Korelia) the northern Russia - southern Finland.  This was the territory the Soviets aggressively took away from the Finns in 1939 in the Soviet - Finish war (the forgotten war).  That is when the Finish snipers and the brutal winter destroyed the Soviet Army but still a little country as Finland could not defend itself against the Soviet might.    I give this film five stars and a very warm recommendation to everyone to watch it.

dissapointment season where ideas ran out . I am a big fan of the pretender series and I just wanted to share my disappointment's on season 4 where it's an ending of a comedy season and not a fun season that we've seen in first 3 seasons. I believe they ran out of ideas and they just wanted to fill in the blanks and put any crap. I was really disappointed. :( I recommend no one to buy it, not to mention it's pretty expensive as it is.

RIP-OFF REMEMBRANCE . I know the title of this volume of Wolf's Rain is "Recollections", but Bandai has went a little overboard. I expect at least one or two episodes in an anime series to be a recap but here we have an ENTIRE DVD, 4 EPISODES of recycled material from past shows!!!! There is nothing new here. Even the infamous last 2 episodes of Evangelion didn't go so far as this and they were running out of money. What is the excuse here? To pay 20$ for an entire dvd of stuff I've already seen. It's almost like they were making one of those awful anime movies where an entire 26 episode series is squeezed into 2 hours. There should have been a warning on the dvd box that there is no new material contained in it. It makes me want to write to Bandai and demand my money back. If you have been following Wolf's Rain since the first volume, definately skip this volume. You'll be wasting your money.      I would recommend Miami Guns Episode 2, which parodies recap shows by having one after only one episode of the show.

Now a longer version of a movie that was too long? . OK, the original is a classic and is what...90...100 minutes long? Jackson stretches it out to 3 hours and adds very little to the story.  The native were scary. The quiet scenes with Kong were welcome additions, they actually made him into a character...something that can't be said for any of the human characters.    The insect scenes are ridiculous!! The dinosaur stampede was idiotic. Anything with the young cabin boy almost seemed like it was clipped out of another movie. Now Jackson is adding 38 munutes to a movie that is grossly over padded to begin with?!?    Peter Jackson is a hack director that has no idea how to tell a story efficiently.Remind me to skip his next 15 3 hour long epics

Blah... . I liked the other Eisenstein movies that I've watched.  Alexander Nevsky is a classic and would probably be more of a classic if it were American.  Battleship Potemkin is pretty good and has some stuff that gets ripped off by Hollywood.  So I thought I would give this one a try.    I really wanted to like this movie.  It's about the Russian Revolution but for me it lays things on a little too thick.  I could only get to about half way through the movie (as the horse is hanging off the bridge is where I stop).  Excellent cinematography and music but I couldn't watch more of it.  Way too thick for me

BOYCOTT THIS GARBAGE! EDITED MUSIC LOW GRADE PICTURE AND SOUND! . This is really irritating! This show (at least in the early years) is as good as any show ever was! The fact that the studio is too cheap to pay for the rights to the music is ridiculous! To add insult to injury the picture and sound are bargain basement quality! I think everyone who bought this or any other show that has been altered should return the shows for a full refund. Let the cheapskate studio eat the loss instead of making the fans digest this SH**

A Classy Document of a Classic Band . This is an illuminating glimpse into the music and song craft of The Band.  Composed primarily of interviews with individual members of the group and producer John Simon in studio settings discussing the music on their timelessly classic second studio recording "The Band".    This one is for music lovers.  Many of the interviews take place at a mixing console in a studio, with John Simon, Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm adjusting track levels to bring up and highlight the various components of the mix.  Absolutely fascinating stuff.  Having listened to this music hundreds of times over the past 30 years, it was revelatory to hear some of the more creative parts of this complex whole isolated, with insightful commentary from the artists who created it.    Also fascinating, in more of a train wreck kind of a way, was seeing the interview and solo studio performance asides of Garth Hudson and Rick Danko.  Both brilliant artists, but both seemingly still paying the price of the lifestyle that accompanied the height of The Band's fame.  Rick's remarks on the loss of his best friend Richard Manuel left me with chills, knowing that not too many more months from this interview and Rick would be gone from this place as well.    Well worth the bargain price, this will be one of those rare DVD's that I actually return to again and again

The Narrow Margin . A "B" movie that scores a solid "A".  Lean, sharp little thriller packs more thrills and suspense than movies with ten times the budget. Some of the dialogue and delivery go over-the-top, but this only adds to the film's vinegary flavor . The real winner is the story, which holds enough surprises to keep discerning viewers on point throughout. Film noir devotees should pounce on this, and the full set it comes from: Film Noir Classics Collection- Vol. 2

Needs even more Creativity . I had high hopes for Requiem of Darkness since it had a dark atmosphere to it. Also, the characters looked very unique and intriguing. Unfortunatley, the beginning is very rough, both in content and speed of the show.     The plot is about a writer who wants to create a book of horror stories. He is always interested in cursed places and people with bad omens hanging over their head. He meets up with a gang of three people with dark powers who murder the murderers, and immediately becomes their intrusive groopy.    Unfortunately, the show is not as slick as the plot sounds. The first episode immediately starts off with the story-telling. It is centered upon a man who murdered a talented child for he was jealous. Throughout the episode, you see the man going insane with guilt and hearing strange noises. The problem is nothing interesting is revealed about any of the main characters and some of the events feel rushed and confusing without the nice introductions of who's who.     The second episode I found more enjoyable since it was unique. It is about a man with a hotel protected by the willow woman. The willow womanis infatuated with the owner and killed all of his wives and children. It even has a little plot twist, nothing extrodinary but still welcoming.    And once again, the third and fourth episodes deal with insane murders. This is when the show became boring for me. I do find crazy murders interesting to read and watch about, but I like to have more variety if this is what the who show is going to be about. Also, the show's trick of using violence and paranoia to be scary lost its buzz by the end of the DVD.    I give it an extra star since one episode is decent and the character design is great. Unfortunately, the show left me unsatisfied since the main people of the show weren't the main focus of these first few episodes. Maybe the next few volumes will be more creative and give more details on the main plot, but I personally don't care to spend anymore of my money on such a risk.    One last note: this show has very intense adult content. Don't make the assumption that the rating is over exxagerated for it definitely is not. Actually, I personally thought the rating was too low for this show

I am convinced of their importance . I initially saw this played on the now defunct TRIO satellite channel.  At the time, I owned a once played copy of Doolittle.  After hearing all of the commentary on the importance of the Pixies to modern music, seeing the powerful (yet physically still) nature of their live performance, and seeing some of the music videos for the first time, I was convinced that Doolittle was worth a genuine try.    Yes, the Brits in "Gouge" do some kissing-up, but you can tell (they're not actors, after all), that it is truly sincere.  Bowie and Bono, while neither one is half the artist of B.F., do seem especially informed and heart-felt in their analysis and praise.  How humbling it must be to have so many renowned artists and journalists praise your work !  This is a good primer for further study of the band - it was for me.    I'm in a cover band (as David Bowie says in the DVD - everyone who's heard Pixies, forms a band), since I feel a strong urge to try to cover Pixies' music.  The other members didn't know of their work, so I am going to use this DVD as a seminar on the Pixies' work.  I watch it regularly, for personal inspiration - I can't get enough.  Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) says that you must be "that good for a start" - we are going to give it a shot.      I was in high school when the more favored 3 CDs were published, but alas, was never exposed.  A year and a half later, I am so glad that I saw, and now own this DVD - most importantly I "discovered" the greatness of Pixies.  I even went to see them at a small local venue in June 2005 (got Kim's autograph!).  I will be buying the "Sellout" DVD, when released in Oct2005.  I feel that this is a very satisfying DVD, and a DEAL ( no pun intended) for the price of &lt; $20 - a quarter what I paid for my wife and I to see them live.    By the way, to the author of one of these commentaries - the name of the album is SURFER Rosa, not SISTER Rosa - you seem like you know what you're talking about, bone machine head!  LONG LIVE THE PIXIES ! !

Pointless . The first third of the movie consists primarily of guests and hosts of a party greeting each other, and, as such, is unavoidably boring.  The second third of the movie features a game of charades, which is embarrassing.  The final third of the movie, though often self-indulgently mediocre, does possess some tension and drama, though it's largely derived from people's being mean to each other.  Not my idea of a good time

Bronson is suave, but what happened to J. Lee? . Not a great film by any means, but mildly diverting. However, all credibility is lost in one key scene.    J. Lee Thompson, director of GUNS OF NAVARONE and the original CAPE FEAR is amazing example of a man whose considerble skills deteriorated over time. This one is OK, but he degernerated even further in his later collaborations with Bronson.    The film lost it for me during a scene where the assorted characters are making an exchange of goods in a drive-in movie. The marquee says something like "Western Double Feature" and if you look at the screen, it's the same 20 second loop of a cattle stampede.     So the other moviegoers drove in not knowing the names of the movies they were seeing and were staring at the same 20 seconds of film run over and over again.    I know from fond memories that drive-ins were make-out hangouts back in the day and we didn't always focus on the movie, but this is ridiculous

If you've never been to a Wiggles concert... . You'll love this video!  Even though I've only been to two concerts, I felt a little cheapened watching this because it kind of slaps you in the face with how canned the whole Wiggles concert experience is.  We got this for my son's 3rd Christmas, and he has happily watched it a few times.  It's a great way to relive the concert experience!  The feature with King Mondo doing "Eagle Rock" is good, too

There is one secret...... . This DVD has very little to offer and even at its attractive price, it's a waste of money.  Granted, I have done reading on meditation for years and have practiced sporadically.  Still, I don't believe you could get much less from a DVD than is available on this one.  There are detailed instructions on posture, hand position and the like.  That takes about three minutes.  I was very disappointed in the lack of in-depth instruction I would have expected from a DVD on meditation.

Charming, but needed more focus . A 10-week program in New York City schools teaches ballroom dancing to 5th graders, imparting lessons about self-worth, respect, and etiquette.  Some of the students go on to dance in a city-wide competition.  This documantary focuses on the children of three schools as they prepare for the showdown.  As many other reviewers have noted, the film would have benefitted from a finer focus on a smaller number of kids.  This would have allowed us to see more of their personal lives and place the program in its context.  Nervertheless, there are many joyful sequences in this film, and the children are charming.  Those qualities go a long way
