Far Better Than I Expected . If some one had told me this film would turn into a story of an actual war between nations, I would have watched it sooner. The reviews I had read for it made it sound like a rip-off of Akira, and the first hour or so makes you think it just might be it.    A group of friends who are in a sort of Xtreme motorcycle sport find themselves in the middle of their nation Aphrodia invaded by the nation of their enemy Ishtar. They quickly find themselves under military rule, and have to deal with life changing in such a time period. The group eventually decides to do some guerilla action and attack an enemy tank that is always in their stadium.     Then, just as the tank is destroyed and reinforcements are coming up, and the hero is about to be run over...a Free IO soldier fires a missile into the Octo and destroys it.    Then the movie becomes a story of a nation fighting for their freedom, as the group joins the free soldiers who are fighting Ishtar all the way back out of IO. Eventually the hero, at first sympathetic, is convinced to join forces. The final battle takes place in the capital of IO, and what a climax it is.    Overall, the film boasts fine animation and retro 80's anime design. The action is well done and the mecha designs even better, and the storyline is also exceptionally well done. You get a good sense of a population under foreign rule, and its good to see an anime exploring such depths. Also, the politics of a nation in exile fighting for their return is equally unique. Maybe its because I'm a political nut, but I found it all interesting.    If I had known I would have enjoyed this film, I would have watched it far sooner than I did. Oh well...I bought the DVD the minute I saw it. I'm proud to own it. And thats my word

The film is a masterpiece of classic kung fu,but the quality is dire.I hope Red Sun release it

Terribly Miscast . This is a very lifeless production of Julius Caesar. Jason Robards is monotone and Charleton Heston rants and raves without ever parting his teeth.

It will pull your heartstrings! . When this movie showed up on a movie channel, I almost skipped it, but I am so glad that I didn't! I enjoyed the characters so much, including the insane little seeing eye b*tch! There were so many feelings involved. The film was funny, a little crazy, touching, sad, and very, very moving. I loved getting to know the Russian or Ukrainian people and their culture; the old as well as the new.     Alex is so charming and funny at the same time, with his ideas of hip hop and the American culture; and wisdom that seems beyond his years. Elijah Wood was wonderful as the eccentric little American Jew named Jonathan who seemed very meek and a little bumbling (he had a phobia of dogs and almost couldn't get into the car with one), but he was amazingly brave to go on his quest in a country he knew nothing about to find the woman who helped his grandfather escape from the Nazis in WWII. Alex's grandfather, who insisted that he was blind, yet he drove the tour car that they all rode in, was such a character; a combination of harsh from the years of hardship he'd had in his life, and yet with a soft tender side underneath that showed up every once in a while.    The Russian songs throughout the movie were perfect and pulled you right into the story. The scenery was amazing. It all made me want to visit Ukraine. If you haven't watched this movie, do it!

Lucas Strikes! . NOTE: This review is not about the trilogy (which is great). This review is about the many DVD releases.    The worst thing that ever happened to George Lucas is when Peter Jackson released the Extended Version of LOTR. Jackson showed fans we could demand, expect, and receive more from Hollywood. The impact of Peter Jackson sent shock waves among fans, who released a four-disc edition of one of the greatest movies of all time. Even old Hollywood guards, like Ridley Scott and James Cameron (no surprise they are not Americans) took notice and improved their DVD releases. This change has been powerful, except in the case of Lucas and to some degree his pal Steven Spielberg, who continues to stick to their old habits by being dinosaurs when it comes to business and satisfying the consumers.     The many re-releases shows greediness, stubbornness, and lack of respect for fans. No one is upset with him for cleaning up the original version, but please allow fans to have the 1977 version and the updated version with better picture and sound quality. In addition, please stop using the "Limited Edition" you like to use to get fans to buy new copies of Star Wars; it is both false and tiring. Release these films in Anamorphic Widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound and allow the 1977 version of the movie be release.    Lucas's creditability has gone downhill to some degree because he is only known for his Star War movies. Unfortunately, his latest releases have only damaged him further because the quality of the prequels has been less than stellar. His shady practice of video/DVD releases of his past glory has resulted in some fans losing respect for him.    One must wonder what went through Lucas mind when Peter Jackson won an Academy Award for Best Director and not him. Maybe if he focus on making quality films (like he once did) and not playing the DVD re-re-re-release game, then he could win one.

yawn........... . Hi. Actually I didn't buy this movie, I watched it on Nickelodeon. And it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. I almost fell asleep just watching it. I can't believe I used to like these dolls. I bought a Mall Maniac Madison doll a few months ago, now I'm thinking about selling it on Ebay. Bratz are much better, and prettier. I mean, have you seen the My Scene Bling Bling dolls? U-G-L-Y. Alot of people say Bratz dress like sluts, but they don't. My Scene dolls are the ones who wear halter tops and mini skirts almost showing their *ss. I haven't watched the Bratz movies, but I'm sure there much better than these. Don't buy this. PLEASE.

NOT FOR DIE-HARD FANS!! . If you are a fan of the ORIGINAL Empire Records, DON'T buy the Re-Mixed Fan version... it's a big dissappointment.  There are added scenes in the movie, and some of the BEST lines are changed.  Example: When Rex is leaving the store and says "Why don't you all just fade away."  Yeah, he doesn't say that in this version.  I was very dissappointed when I saw this, b/c die-hard Empire fans DON'T want the best lines changed, so this really isn't a "fan re-mix" b/c it changes stuff the fans LOVE!!!  Definitely just buy the regular DVD or VHS version... it's much better as an original, not a re-mix!!!

Portrait of an Artist as a Young Brazilian . We all see different films, even when we see the same film. "City of God" is especially like that, with it's linked stories that give multiple perspectives--not unlike the linked stories used in postmodern novels. "City of God" gives us a story of crime, poverty, drugs, sex, homelessness, corruption, community (in its own way), even odd bits of humor--and a way out.    A Special Feature on this DVD is the documentary "News from a Personal War" which uses the same technique of multiple perspecitves in a brilliant effort to give a rounded view to a complex story of the drug war in Rio.    The movie I see would be titled "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Brazilian" played by Alexandre Rodrigues as Rocket who narrates "City of God." The DVD jacket says it so well: ". . . a frail and scared young boy will grow up to discover that he can view the harsh realities of his surroundings with a different eye: the eye of an artist." I love the moment when his photos are discovered by the newpaper through a mistake and how that leads to Rocket's career as a journalistic photographer--and his first hot shower, followed by his first sexual experience. This last part of the film is thrilling as Rocket moves into a new world and then rockets between them.    Remember the lyrics that had a bouncing ball on top telling you what word to sing next? Just follow the bouncing ball here--the words and story line of the young narrator as his heart's wish comes true and he demonstrates considerable courage.    --Janet Grace Riehl, author "Sightlines: A Poet's Diary

Who let the dogs out? . I am sorry to report that this movie is dead on arrival, and I have to agree with anybody that says this movie is [...]. The whole cast is wasted in this movie, and most of which I have seen in movies that I liked better. Like pretty much the leads in this movies, I have seen thier movies and liked htem better in, but this one, they might as well. If your a Tim Allen fan, please do yourself a favor, and get either the Santa Clause movies, or the Toy Story movies, and avoid this movie at all costs. Here are 99 minuts of my life, that I won't see again, and I am trying to make sure that you don't waste your time on this dud. Who wants to see an actor pretned to be a dog, in some scenes in the movie, ore pretty much the whole thing. I haven't seen Monster House or Cars, but I hope that these will be 2 better movies, or maybe a season dvd of Home Improvement will be pretty then this. Dave Douglas (Tim Allen) is a lawyer, that dislikes dogs, and even has a case against animal activist Justin Forrester (Joshua Leonard). And he is up for accused of trying to torch the California headquarters of sinister pharmaceutical conglomerate Grant & Strictland. And he doesn't much of a family life, since he is never home, and how many times have we seen something like this in a movie? His wife is Rebecca Douglas (Kristin Davis) and they have 2 children Josh (Spencer Breslin) and Carly (Zena Grey). And he has an appoontment to Josh's PTA meetings, and even through he is reminded at work, he forgets. Carly is not only a is both Forrester's student and a budding animal advocate herself, and her brother is trying out for football like his Dad, even through he secretly hates it, and didn't sign up for the fall musical. And then there is a mad scientist (Robert Downey Jr.), trying to extract the secret of immortality from the shaggy hide of a 300-year-old dog he had kidnapped from a Tibetan monastery. And Carly even kidnaps it from Grant & Strictland, and brings him home, nad even trouble starts when the dog bites Douglas, that gets him starting acting like a dog too, and even looking exactly like him at times. The movie expects us to believe the dog is 300 years old, which would be impossible, since neither dogs or people live that long, all I can say we are in an era of movies being made out of sequels and remakes, and this is one to avoid at all costs.

"To my liberation from the class enemy!" . Rita Vogt (Bibiana Beglau) is one of a group of West German terrorists who spring fellow terrorist, Andrea (Harald Schrott) from jail. Several people are shot during the jailbreak, and the group goes on the lam to Paris. While in Paris, Rita kills a policeman, and the terrorists are once again on the run--this time they slip into East Germany with the help of Stasi officer Erwin Hull (Martin Wuttke) who befriended Rita when she was recognized upon entering East Berlin before. Since the heat is on the group, Erwin makes an offer--the terrorists can accept a new life--with new identities in East Germany, or they can be flown out to Beirut. While everyone else elects Beirut, Rita decides to stay in East Germany.     Rita assumes a new identity in East Germany, and her adjustment to her environment is at the heart of "The Legend of Rita" from director Volker Schlondorff. The plot places Rita in some interesting situations. Her first job, for example, is in a factory where she befriends Tatjana (Nadja Uhl). Tatjana loathes East Germany, and would love to live in the West. She can't understand why Rita (now living under an assumed name) would give up Western freedoms and chose to live under Communist rule. In the meantime, Rita's former rebelliousness against the state has simply disappeared, and she's become a drone--speaking the party line and accepting whatever she's told to do. When Rita's new identity is threatened, she has little choice but to move on--leaving Tatjana and their budding lesbian affair.     The film fails to fulfill its promise, however, on several layers. Rita becomes a pawn for the Stasi--every move she makes is watched, and every conversation she has is taped. The film could have chosen to tackle some fascinating complex arguments--Rita's ideology, for example, and the challenge she faces in either rejecting her beliefs or sticking to them in the face of such nauseating, and threatening Orwellian bureaucracy. The plot shows Rita as mindlessly accepting what she is told to do--she doesn't question her freedoms, and by making Rita a drone, she is a far less interesting character. Instead, the film concentrates on Rita's two love interests. Also, if you are expecting to discover something about the Red Army Faction (RAF) here, keep looking. This is not a film about the RAF. There is an excellent book by Stefan Aust on the subject, but it's rare to find a copy in English. I recommend "How It All Began" By Bommi Baumann and "Televisionaries: The Red Army Faction Story 1963-1993" by Tom Vague. "The Legend of Rita" is worth watching for all fans of German film out there. Overall, the film's message argues strongly against aligning oneself with any political ideals. In German with English subtitles--displacedhuma

worth watching . The movie is not good but a lot can be learned by watching it through, even though it drags. The 1950s 'babe' played by Jayne is a period piece, but having lived in Las vegas for the past five years, I can tell the readers of this review that the type is alive and well in this city. The  film is about a certain niche, created by men and probably by religion too,  and into this niche women step and become stigmatized. The whore or babe is  like the witch in the medieval period - something demonic and devilish. I  assure you, the values in the film are not out-of-date. The movie also is  an interesting source of info about ethnicity and regionalism - espec.  Italian and the NYC area. And you see in this a connection to Las Vegas  too. The film, if it teaches anything, teaches us that we are far less  emancipated, liberated, rational, liberal, etc. in regard to sex and to  women than we thought we were. Again the parallel to witchcraft is a good  one: naive liberals thought the witch-hunting was over in the early 1700s.  In fact, witches were burned in all major European ocuntries into the late  1700s. And 1950s babes a la Mansfield are not only the adult identity of  many, especially in Las Vegas, in the year 2000, but are probably the  role-models of 6 and 7 year olds. ...

"Rocky" meets "An Officer and a Gentleman" earns a split decision . 2 1/2 Stars.    There is nothing original in this story about a young man who is a disappointment to his father, has a problem with authority figures, and has yet to find his place in the world.  The plot is predictable from beginning to end and so cliche-ridden it will make your teeth ache.  James Franco has good screen presence and he can act, although he is limited.  Tyrese Gibson on the other hand is totally unbelievable in his role as Franco's antagonist.  He simply always looks like he's acting the entire time.  His character isn't even defined well and his reasons for going after Franco's character lacks sincerity and believability.    The direction and writing is just all over the place in this film that isn't sure what it want to be, so it tries very hard to be everything.  It wants to be a basic training kind of film a la "G.I. Jane" while also trying to be a sports film with its boxing substory.  It wants to introduce us to the world of a first class naval academy while also trying to tell us how naval vessels are built.  It throws in everything else from race relations to father and son psycho-babble.  I was waiting for the kitchen sink to be thrown in for good measure.    The film was okay overall when all was said and done.  I had some fun with it and Franco is fun to watch.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, but it was glaringly not as good as it could have been.  While viewing this film one is liable to keep saying, "if they only did this" or "if they had only done that."  That leaves a bad taste in one's mouth

Best of Judd Nelson . Judd Nelson has made some good movies and some not so good. I count this as one of his best. As an attorney "Stormy Weathers" he can't be beat. He will stretch the limits of courtroon etiquette well past the limit if it will win his case. This is by far one of the best melodramas I have seen. Not often do we see a movie full of comedy and drama at the same time.     The beginning is very light stuff, but midway into the movie we start to see the darkside of humanity. John Hurt turns in a magnificent performance as Judd's client in a murder case. Judd can't decide if his client is innocent or guilty, but once he knows for sure he has to learn new tactics in dealing with the judicial system.    Fans of courtroom movies should enjoy this even if they are not fans of the 80s bratpack. Great directing and excellent cast make this a winner. A nice soundtrack and scenes in Boston don't hurt either. Good quality DVD but no extras

First Season and Still the Best . The first season of Seaview was the best and Season 1, Volume 2 has some of the series best episodes.  Mutiny, Doomsday, The Invaders, The Indestructible Man, The Buccaneer, The Human Computer, The Saboteur, Cradle of the Deep, and The Enemies are top-notch.  I've always loved Seaview's incredible monsters and Mutiny's giant jellyfish is a sight to behold.  The threat of nuclear war is realistically portrayed in Doomsday.  I still get shivers up and down my spine when Robert Duvall opens his eyes in The Invaders and when the robot stalks Patterson and Kowalski in The Indestructible Man.  Only Seaview would have an episode about someone bold enough to steal the Mona Lisa.  This story (The Buccaneer) works because the villian is believable (a touch gay by today's standards but that's why the story works) and the relationships between the crew members are emphasized.  In The Human Computer, Seaview is controlled by a computer that's supposed to replace the crew.  Star Trek did a similar story but Seaview's is better because only Crane and an enemy agent are on board and the sight of these 2 men stalking each other on the deserted sub have great impact.  By far the best episode for me is The Enemies.  With it's crazy cold war politics, Crane and Nelson against the bad guys, and that wonderful room where people on one side seem gigantic compared to those on the other side, how could this episode miss.  As always, the special effects, the black and white photography, and Paul Sawtell's wonderful theme make Seaview one old series that's worth visiting over and over again

"She is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe." . Alright, Im sure you already know what its about, if not, then just read above, because im here, trying to tell you why you should watch it.      I know, Ill get this out of the way fast. Just watch this movie for what it is, not what you want it to be! People argue that its not scary, or that the twist ending was horrible. Its not a horror movie, its not suposed to scare you. Its a love story. And listen to this: the twist ending?, its not suposed to be a surprise, its suposed form this whole movie, its suposed to define who these characters are, and what they are trying to do. This is a story of love, and of hope and innocence.    I just dont see how people who are fans of Shyamalans other movies can say "I hated the ending, very predictable" because, fans, you know what Shyamalan does, you know from seeing Signs that hes a deep writer, that he gives much more meaning than what you think its going to be.    So please, if the only thing thats holding you back from seeing this is the critics, or your friends, then see it anyway. Why would you let other peoples opinions rule what you like, or dont like? Sure, many didnt like it, some didnt even understand it, but that doesnt mean you wont like it. You just have to try it out.    If you havent had the end ruined for you, thats even better, because you still have this whole movie to look forward to, and if you dont enjoy it, than fine, but atleast you can say yourself that you didnt like it. I know too many people who havent seen it because it got bad reviews.    If you enjoy a good love story, or even an art-sy type of suspence movie, then im sure you will enjoy it. But its not for everyone. Im sure, if you get bored easily, or if you dont have an imagination (this is a MUST HAVE for any Shyamalan film)    And then theres the soundtrack, which deserves 5 stars all by itself because its so magical. Shyamalan is one of the few who knows how to use music for film, who can make the music be a character in the movie.     But before I leave, trust me, dont watch this thinking its a horror movie, because its not. Thats the worst mistake you could make aboiut this film

Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light. . I rate this movie 5 stars, or 9,5/10. The movie is included among the 1000 Best Movies on DVD by Peter Travers. This New Line Platinum Series edition is really beautiful, with a DVD case simulating the notebook that John Doe uses in the movie, and with a second disc full of supplemental material. I miss the typical but in my opinion mandatory "How it was made" or "Behind the Scenes" documentary. You see deleted scenes and extended takes, alternate endings with awesome animated storyboards, etc. The movie in Disc One comes with an audio track specially recorded for the DVD edition, and in my Home Theatre sounds terrific. Also we have 4 different audio commentaries, by director Fincher, Freeman, Pitt and other collaborators on the film.  This is a terrific thriller focused on two detectives (one new -Pitt- another about to retire -Freeman-) after a serial killer (always brilliant Spacey) who is obsessed with books about the seven capital sins, and kills people who represents them. After the 5th murder, he turns himself in and the last two (Envy and Wrath) are just a masterpiece of an invention. I've probably seen this movie just 3 or 4 times, but I can't help to be absolutely mesmerized and surprised by the genious of the story.   This is a masterpiece of a movie. I rarely give 10/10 points to movies, so I gave this 9.5/10. To be picky, I'd like a "Hit" song with the closing credits. But that is just me being picky. The music by Howard Shore is good. The photography is excellent, the script is in my opinion the very best, and Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are fabulous. The movie was nominated for Best Film Editing for the Academy Awards but won nothing.  A must for any thriller fan and highly recommended to any movie fan. Your collection is not complete without this one. And for the price ($13.99 while I am writing this) you can't get any wrong

The second worst dinosaur movie . First off, special effects mean nothing compared to actual quality. But at least this is better than the abomination that was JAWS.    The only dinosaur movie I can think of that's worse than this is RAPTOR, which consists of parts of the three Carnosaur movies cut & pasted together.    It has some redeeming feature in that Ian Malcom and John somedoy (I forget his last name... the guy who owns the park) were actually interesting characters. I guess Steve Speilberg finally realised that monster/animal attack movies only work when you have characters people are going to give a monkey's rear end about. Unfortunately, the boring, stereotypical Alan Grant was the central character in this.    If you want to watch a Steven Spielburg movie that's actually good, watch E.T. or something. Or "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (even though recommending a sequel may seem lame, the sequel is a million times better than this)    If you want to see a dinosaur movie, then watch either the sequel to this movie, or Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World". I would also recomend the 'Carnosaur' movies but I think they're out of print.    If you want to see a movie where Sam Neill plays an interesting chracter, watch 'In the Mouth of Madness' or 'Triangle'    But definitely avoid this movie. The only reason I even own it is because it was sold in a box set with "The Lost World: Jurassic Park

So don't be fooled by the PG rating - it's not for kids. There's a pretty intense attempted rape scene as well. I detected no real political agenda except maybe a shot at nationalism, which deserves to be shot

Feeling a bit shafted . Okay, I've wanted this film for a very long time, so this year I finally get around to ordering it.  However, I wasn't aware that Ridley Scott ever put together a director's cut nor does the information contained about this particular edition say anything about this DVD being the director's cut.  So, it gets delivered, I open it up excitedly...and see a box on the cover that says INCLUDES RIDLEY SCOTT'S DIRECTOR'S CUT WITH JERRY GOLDSMITH'S SCORE.  Okay, cool.  It INCLUDES the director's cut.  That implies that BOTH the theatrical release AND the director's cut are on the disc.  Not so.  This is ONLY the director's cut...and to be honest, it's not all that great.  And Goldsmith's score is NOT one of his better ones.  I was WANTING the Theatrical Release with that wonderful score by Tangerine Dream, the version I remember seeing so many years ago.  So, now I have to shell out the money for the ULTIMATE EDITION which has both versions on it.  If Amazon is going to sell two versions of this film it really needs to state clearly which is which.  I feel about as shafted as when I bought "The Exorcist" on DVD...only to get THE VERSION YOU'VE NEVER SEEN, which was equally lame

A Drop of Water . I remember seeing this short film as a young child and it scared me so much that now as an adult lover of horror films seeked to purchase it for my family. I am not one who scares easily and this film was frightening. I loved watching it with my husband, because it was so much fun to see him jump during the movie! I totally recommend renting/purchasing this from the Black Sabboth trilogy collection. Happy haunting!    Pam from Eagle Mountain Lake, Texa
