Blade Trilogy Ending Deserves Better Than This !! . This movie smacks of sub-par quality. Unlike its two predecessors which are far superior, Blade III is plagued with a poor script, an unqualified director (sorry, David Goyer is no director), and a storyline that sputters in closing out what would have been one of the best comicbook-to-film trilogies in the marketplace. Think Godfather III in the Godfather series and you'll know why to bypass this awful film. This movie simply lacks the raw emotional and psychological underpinnings that established and refined the Blade character in the first two films. Without these attributes, the follow-on action and violence in the film (an artistic staple in the Blade franchise) even lacks the heart-stopping emotional quality you'd expect. What you get is a convoluted story with no momentum and characters (including Snipes's Blade) who are all dressed up with no where to go. Rated or Unrated, avoid this DVD at all cost. It isn't worth the money or the effort.

Clever As Ever (almost) . If you've viewed Season One, and liked it (and you must have-otherwise why would you even consider buying Season 2)you will enjoy this second dvd.  Though the first season was [to me] much more interesting and action packed, probably because it was new and a fresh idea, this season's storylines continue to make surprise twists and turns.  Just to watch Eva Longoria's and Marcia Cross's characters get what they want, one way or another makes this a worthy purchase.  Not a learning experience, but excellent mindless entertainment!!

great if you dig hallmark cards . i loved "my so-called life" and was expecting something good here, based on all these reviews. but the soap opera advertisements they stuck on the beginning of these DVDs were a bad omen. still, i hung in and hoped for the best. i was sitting there watching and really wondering "do people really relate to this stuff?" the characters on this show look like they're from JC penney catalogs, or ivory soap commercials. white bread, sanitary, vapid... thankfully all the people i know in real life are a million times more interesting than these fake people. this show makes me hope that i never have the bad fortune to make eyes with some guy in a parking lot and start dating him. the kids on this show are cute, but all kids are cute. nothing can save them or the adult characters or anyone from the extremely boring writing. i am SOOOOO glad that the world is nothing like how it's portrayed on this show. NEVER AGAIN!!

1 of the 8 films to die for...out of boredom! . I generally steer clear of low-budget horror in that those films, while trying to be cutting edge, usually smack of just "trying"...too hard.  I gave "The Hamiltons" a go since it received the most hype.  Wasn't impressed.  Yes, the ending has a nice little twist, and I was intrigued by seeing Lenny--although once the twist happened it was easy to see it coming--the film lacks dramatic tension, contains mundane dialogue (victim: "help me"; predator [whining]: "I can't!), and characters are pretty much stock caricatures. 86 minutes drrrraggged by.

Please don't waste your money.... . Wow, this was awful! The best thing about this DVD is that it doesn't last long. My boyfriend and I sat down to watch this together (in the mood to begin with) and both of us were completely turned off by it. The woman is not even naked, and wears a nightie throughout the DVD. She also is extremely hairy (a matter of personal taste I know, but this was very extreme). The tone of it was decidedly unsexy, more of a strictly how-to than a way to excite the watcher(s). It seemed to me to be very low-budget and unimaginative. Spend your money on something else if you're looking for sexual excitement..

Don't buy this compilation...... . These 3 movies are indeed landmark movies in Chinese Cinema and definetly for Jet li and Movie Kung fu.    However, I watched 10 minutes of te first movie on this compilation which DOESN'T have english Subs ( I don't mind, but every other DVD I have ever seen has this )    Also, in the first ten minutes, there have been 2 incredibly bad awkward translations. For some reason, Cousin Yi is now Aunt 13 and Chu's bird is now Chu's Beard. This is Crap. Do NOT buy this, buy the movies seperately, you can probably find them each for 9 bucks, and they would be more satisfying that way

I wasted two hours of my precious life . This movie has NO plot! Yes, the characters say things and do things and things happene but that's not a plot! This movie wanders on aimlessly. What is it trying to say? What is the point?  Brian J White is a good actor. I loved him in The Shield, but in this movie he OVER ACTS! It's like he has no talent at all. The white women in the film are stereotypes, especially the blonde. They played the same 2 or 3 pieces of music several times throughout the film whether they fit or not. One seemed to be played in every other scene.  Whomever wrote this needs to try again! Or NOT

Unique (one of a kind) Film . Here's yet another film I saw as a young lad. But this isn't just any western comedy...It's got that special something that only comes around ever now and then.  Terance Hill does a great job as Trinity. For instance in the opening scene Trinity has to sit and eat a whole pan of beans, which he puts away quite quick...I read on his website that he starved himself for 24 hours in order to do that scene.  This is also a film the whole family could watch and enjoy.  I would also recommend Trinity's third film "My Name Is Nobody" which stars Henry Fonda.  Anyway...if you like good western fun then I would say buy this dvd and enjoy

Bleak and despairing.... . This is a great film, but it is very depressing and probably the bleakest film of Eastwood's career.  Many have said that Clint's film, Million Dollar Baby, was depressing.  That film was sad, but there was a sort of transendence at the end of it.  This film has nothing like that.  The 3 boyhood friends, played by Penn, Robbins, and Bacon, have all gone their seperate ways in life when they are reunited when Penn's daughter is murdered.  After an inital meeting where they all share their grief, the tensions between the friends increase as the mystery unfolds.  Robbins is especially good (and deserving of his Academy award) as the man who was molested as a young man, and who is permanently scarred because of it.  While at first you feel sympathy for Penn's character, you realise slowly that Penn is really a cruel, brutal man.  Bacon is very good as the detective, the only character of the three who really seems to be balanced, even though his wife has left recently, and he is a typically cynical detective.  The film ends brilliantly on an ambiguous, dark note, with Kevin Bacon giving Penn a "I know what kind of person you really are" at the end of the film.  This is a disturbing, brooding film, one of Eastwood's darkest (even darker than Unforgiven), but it's definitely worth all the accolades that it has received.  It has the marks of a great tragedy, because like all tragedies, things never worked out for the best, they seemed to have worked out for the worst, but we're really not sure.  Great film....

Aftershock: Earthquake in New York real  and live action . I really liked this movie and felt it was well done with much suspense and action.  It was like I was part of the whole movie.

Mark Dacascos best overall movie to date!!! . Without a doubt this is Mark's most complete movie to date. The intricate plot, stylish flashbacks, and unique camera angels, makes this more than your average straight to video.  Tibor Tackas shows a very good touch. The  ending begs for a sequel, and I would pay money to see it in the theater if  one were to be made. This is the type of movie that Mark is able to show  the moves that have made him the envy of the action genre actors, and  object of desire from female fans, but he is also is allowed to actually  act and show depth. Tibor Tackus should be thanked for giving us more Mark  than I have seen in his previous movies to date, except for &quot;Only The  Strong&quot;, which I like equally as well as this

Horrible Audio, No Teaching . These other reviewers are kidding you.    There are significant problems with this dvd.  1. The audio on this dvd is horrible.

a disappointment! . I must agree with a few others on here that I was disappointed with this version of 'Peter Pan'.     PROS:  -Cathy Rigby's skill as an olympic gymnast really gave Peter a great element of athleticism. Great voice and fun actress.  -Scenic design and set design all really nicely done, a bit predictable, but predictable is what an audience wants to see when they to to a production of 'Peter Pan'    CONS:  -The cuts! Like others have said, this production is totally rushed and they made some weird cuts.  -The face value acting doesn't go deep enough into the characters. While all these performers are skilled individuals, I was not impressed with their acting. However, this could be partially the fault of the director as well.  -The lip synching was a huuuuuuge disappointment!  -I don't understand what the deal is with the adults playing lost boys. Yes, adult performers can often perform more sophisticated choreography, but a certain nostalgia and innocence is brought to the production when actual kids are invovled.    With all that said, I think that kids would love this video. However, as a musical theatre student there are several shortcomings to this production overall. Nice musical, so-so interpretation. :

Relive Childhood Memories . WWE produces good quality documentary DVDs (I can't always say the same about their raunchy live shows).  This is another well-made, interesting, and entertaining WWE DVD.      It brought back lots of memories for me.  A lot of the 80s gimmicks seem corny and overly tame by today's standards, but they seemed pretty dumb to me at the time, too, and I was just a kid.      One sort of sad thing is to see Bobby Heenan's commentary.  He doesn't sound or look anything like he used to.  He appears gaunt and withdrawn and slurs his words.  He says with a touch of sadness in his voice that he misses the days of going out there and entertaining the fans (realizing, I'm sure, that he will never again be a personality on any wrestling programming)

Bridges of Madison County DVD . The DVD was okay and I needed it for a gift (which I was late for - my fault).  I received it in 5 days but it arrived totally smashed.  It was packed in a stiff yellow envelope but needed more packing.  The outside of the package was marred but not ripped open.  But when I opened it I was horrified that the entire case was crushed. I delicately took it apart and it seemed that the DVD was untouched so I put it in another generic case that I had around the house.  That was disappointing because the case it came in was very attractive and I couldn't fit it in my case.  Because I was late with my gift, I didn't have time to send it back to you.

In a word: disgraceful . The first Butterfly Effect is one of my all-time favorite movies. With that in mind, I eagerly started watching BE2. Within the first 5 minutes it became clear that I was going to have to stretch the truth in order to claim this was a good movie. But after finishing it, it was clear that I would have to flat-out lie to do that.    There is one and only one redeeming factor in this movie: Erica Durance naked. But it's too softcore, short, and pointless to really be worth anything.    The writing is terrible. The story is lifted directly from the original, only without any semblance of personal feeling or emotion. It manages to be both predictable and borderline nonsensical, a feat unparelleled in modern film. The protagonist comes off as an idiotic, self-concerned, petty jerk that even jerks would have a hard time identifying with. The acting is...barely passable, for the most part, but the story's protagonist is just plain bad at expressing all the things this character needs to express.    The first one was great because you never knew exactly what to expect - how long would he be able to keep doing this? Would this one be the last? In the sequel, this is gone, but without any extra twists or added value to keep it interesting.    If you have any fond memories of the first one, avoid this turd

Bad, just plain bad. . Spoilers ahead:  I am not hard to please when it comes to horror movies, and totally enjoy a good B flick. But I have to say that this one was just terrible. There's really no plot and even though you expect the charaters to do some silly stuff like go into creepy houses or whatever, I just couldn't believe how stupid the main character really was!!  How do you continue to hang out at that rest stop when the guy keeps coming back to mess with you? I mean come on!!! Breaking into the rangers office on site, no less, and getting drunk...all the while waiting for the phycho to come back and have another go at her? Then missing every possible opportunity to kill the psycho. Was no one else shouting at the screen "Grab the cop's gun and shoot the psycho!" as they watched him stroll by them to tow his motorbike.   And running infront of the truck, in the headlights... There was forest all around her and she never once went and hid, just hung out inside that disgusting bathroom. A sitting duck that deserved to be put out of it's misery in my opinion.  No, it was simply unbelievable and I was relieved when the credits rolled. So glad I didn't actually pay the rental fee on this one

Ignore the ignorant jibes...this film is truly outstanding. . I've just endured an unpleasant half hour trawling through the myriad reviews of "Grand Canyon", that are so misinformed as to be laughable.    Aside from the fact that the New York Times may have awarded this the "worst film of all time" (in a year that "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves" was released?? - please!) I find these attitude of such reviewers quite lamentable.  Grand Canyon is a magnificent film - and absolutlely NOT just the purview of "New Agers"!  Anyone who has studied film to even a marginal degree will recognise the greatness in Grand Canyon. No, it's not "The Godfather"... yet it is still one of the finest films of its time.  To those it touches (and there are many), it is unforgettable.    Kasdan had a vision that was unfortunately ahead of its time (and still appears to be in 2006, judging from some of the reviews here!).  Certainly not "The Big Chill", Grand Canyon is a far more nuanced work - to those who understand its subtleties, it is sublime - to those still struggling to comprehend the mysteries, magic and meaning of our existance here, I can see how it might appear impenetrable or pretentious.  That is no fault of the film itself - just as "Deuce Bigalow" is speaking to its chosen audience of prepubertal adolescents, so is Grand Canyon attempting to connect with those humans who choose to delve beneath the flimsy facade of modern existance. To the opinion-makers, it will naturally slip under their radar; don't let that be a reason for you missing this unmissable film.    To anyone considering this film, I implore you - do not be distracted by the inane ramblings of posters who wouldn't understand a truly meaningful film if they fell over it.  Grand Canyon is for a select audience - it will never be widely popular; as if that were any true marker of what is important!  Grand Canyon stands tall as one of the great achievements of the 1990s - watch it, and be moved.  Watch it, and see a reflection of the world we currently find ourselves in - striving for answers, yearning for meaning... and looking all the while for the magic that defines our existance.    Absolutely five stars

I mean, they could have chosen from about ten other midwestern states if all they wanted was that 'naive farm girl meets big-city boy' feel (which is lame and predictable, by the way).

Mirrormask it not a once-through movie, once you see it once, you want to see it again, the visuals are just too much for simply one go.

The end of a great show begins. . THE TRANSFORMERS gets my vote as the worst movie of the 1980's.  It pains me to say this for I am a fan of the series.  It was a travesty to see Optimus Prime (the greatest of the Transformers) fall in battle and pass on the Matrix of Leadership to a successor (Rodimus Prime) who proved incapable of leadership.  Galvatron was a pathetic reincarnation of Megatron--he lacked the malevolent cunning of Megatron and behaved like a raving lunatic.  Why would a Decepticon warrior follow him into battle?  As for the new generations of Autobots and Decepticons introduced in the movie, they were forgettable.    It amuses me that "fans" are raving about the movie now yet they did not pay to see the movie when it was released twenty years ago.  THE TRANSFORMERS failed at the box office and I am glad it did.  As a fan, I was insulted.  Perhaps these other "fans" have allowed nostalgia to blind them to the ugly truth of this outrage.

A truly amazing film . This movie is a classic in terms of jaw-droppingly honest self-aggrandizement.  If you took everything out of an early 80's Woody Allen film EXCEPT the repugnant parts, you'd get "Fall," and it's made me a devoted Eric Schaeffer fan.    What's so amazing about it all is the sheer self-centered wish-fulfillment that Schaeffer indulges in.  It's so cool!  Every single character in the movie exists only as a vehicle to convey to his character how incredibly great he is -and why not?!  He has two female friends who we know almost nothing about except that they're constantly impressed with his life and abilities as a lover.  He's got the supermodel lover who ultimately dumps him only because he's TOO cool, too hot, too real for her.      I'm not kidding.  You must see this.    Then there's the sex.  Schaeffer's character (who, like Shaeffer, is a NYC cab driver who had an affair with a married supermodel who ultimately dumped him) is so amazingly incredible as a lover that he makes his supermodel climax WITHOUT TOUCHING HER!  If that's not cool enough, his two lady friends then spend time marveling at this, about how great it is that he did that WITHOUT TOUCHING HER!  Wow!  Later, she actually  violates HIM with the aid of a toy, but once again it's HER who climaxes, thanks to his incredible dirty-talk and overall amazingness.  This guy's a dynamo, and thankfully there isn't a frame of the film that isn't devoted to showing that or having one of the other characters tell him that.    As I said, he gets dumped eventually, just like in real life.  But Schaeffer wants us to know the truth, that it's because he's too great and she's ultimately too shallow and loves him too intensely.  Schaeffer even imagines his lover's husband as a sexless idiot and gives him the line "Maybe I'm shallow and superficial, but..."  The husband then goes on to acknowledge that he can't compete with whoever this incredible lover-man is, but that he'll "be there" if she changes her mind and chooses the shallow, easy path.  Eric's "character" is just THAT good.    For anyone who, like me, lives in a world where the only obstacles are the fact that some people resent how incredible I am and that the world revolves around me instead of them... this movie is for US

SeriousDon't expect much from this DVD    Spiderwowan: 0 stars  Crevices: 4 Stars  The Sacrifice: 2 stars   Blonde Kwaidan: -5 stars (negative)  Presentiment- 1 star    The Spiderwoman was just weird. Like low-budget sci-fi. It lacks an actual plot.   *"Crevices", although short, was really creepy- i think that some of the others could have been taken out to add on to this one.     "The Sacrifice" -was pretty pointless too. You know someone will die, none of the characters will call the police or try and solve this - it just plays out. Frusterating to watch. The lead actress however saves this with above average acting.     Blonde Swaidan - TERRIBLE. It's a few minutes long and makes no sense. An obsession with blondes -finding a blonde body. How did this make it in??    "Presentiment" -A weird kind of "Final Destination"/Yogen type of idea here, but it just goes too slow and becomes annoying. By the time you know what's going on, you don't care.    In summary, "Crevices" is a scary little short  4 stars, and the acting in "The Sacrifice" was great, although there was no common sense - don't know how to score that...

This is one prom, better left unattended

Beauty and the Beast . It was great to see that they have the Cannon Tales on DVD now!  My daughter and I used to watch it together when she was an adolescent and now she is going to be a mother herself.  I purchased this so that my grandchildren will be able to view the movies that their mother watched when she was little.  A fairytale with the stars

No Flab ABS . Anyone familiar with TaeBo and Billy Blanks knows that together equals PAIN and SWEAT.  TaeBo is for people that understand you must sweat to burn fat and calories.  This DVD helps you do just that.  Billy Blanks has targeted in-directly on the problem areas once again.  Before I started using TaeBo as a workout strategy I was wore a size 12.  I am now a size 8 and even the 8's are loose.  So I'm very pleased with Billy's AB Bootcamp DVD and all the others that I have.  Any of his cardio targeted dvd's I will also highly recommend.  Billy's AB Bootcamp DVD is the ABsolute answer to a trimmer waist and stronger abs.  It's a way to have a six-pack even if you don't drink.  TJDELUM  in Mphs, T

"The ratio of people to cake is too big....." . ...says the mumbling Milton (my favorite character). The characters and their odd mannerisms made this film a success, in my view. One of my coworkers lent me this movie, promising me that I'd like it - he was right. It is both funny and tragic, though a bit exaggerated (but it's a MOVIE, where life circumstances do not have to be totally realistic).     Most people can relate to Office Space, even if they don't have a cubicle-based job. I happen to have a cubicle-based job, though I recently moved from a rather large cubicle to an office, which I share with another coworker (there is a gray cubicle wall dividing it). It's not so bad though.  Anyway, the main character, Peter Gibbons, lacks motivation in his career and is fed up with a number of business practices. But he doesn't quit his job - he just stops working.  Doing nothing is his ideal life.    The rap music is a nice touch.    Now back to my favorite character, Milton, who repeatedly says that he "could set the building on fire" whenever things get too rough.  He is pathetic yet likeable, and I felt sorry for him when he didn't get any cake at the party. Everyone keeps passing it around, and he watches the cake get smaller and smaller until it is completely gone. And his desk is moved numerous times, which really irritates him. Eventually, he moves down to the basement, where it is dark and lonely.  His boss comes down to ask him to kill the cockroaches ("That would be terrific"), even though it's not Milton's job.  His distinctive "Excuse me..." protests are rarely heard. He is being used by the company, no one respects him, no one listens to him.  I'd burn the building down too

Please tell your children the history is different. . I realize historical accuracy was not the intent of the filmmakers here, but as a history teacher, I feel the need to beg you to tell your children that this is not the way Jamestown really went down. An unreal number of students enter high school believing that this film is a historical documentary, and the first step to teaching Jamestown is to convince the students otherwise.    Perhaps good can come from this film, in that it can teach young people to be critical of secondary sources

Not suitable for people with functional cremasters . Go to www.cremaster.net and download the trailer for the full cremaster cycle. . . . then realize how awesome it looks and how much this dvd sucks. I was wondering where the movie was on this DVD, but then realized you only get a 30 minute clip and can watch lots of alternat shots of the same stuff.  The minute long trailer on the website is SOOOOO much better.    Highlight: Camera Movement is kool when it moves all slow and stuff

BEYOND INSPIRATION . Being from New England, it is easy to say that this to me was one of the greatest things that ever happened, ever, the amazing 2001 season from the N.E. Patriots. Even if you ain't that into sports, maybe just inspirational films that put a huge sh** eating grin on your face... this is a DVD to own (at least to check out..)  I of course was issued a copy of this after the Superbowl win in 2002, being from New England, but only dug it out recently to view it. Besides telling the story in detail about the season, game for game, it is also produced very well, by using the real NFL film footage, that is much more in depth than what we all saw on TV back when it happened. Right on the sidelines with the players, you get to watch (half the time you can see that they are almost as amazed with themselves as we were)  I guess I should spare the story, because it is written in every other review here, and really its much better shown on the DVD, but to remember the state of the team at that point...  Last place underdogs the WHOLE season. Even as the team barrel rolled and got bigger and better, game for game, no one believed they would do it (maybe us New Englanders did, but we were still crossing our fingers pretty damned hard).. but everytime the stakes got higher, the team got hotter (not to mention a few divine miracles, like the enormous hurricane during the Raiders game)  You just gotta watch this thing, and see how crazy the team really got, spectacular moves all over. This is one of those sports stories that should grace the big screen... a story you couldn't make up.  Rock on PATS!     P.S. Regarding the tribute to 9/11, god bless to all....  but I REALLY hate U2

Very Very Good movie . This film is A VERY good one..it has mystery,horror,style good acting. The crows annoyed me to bits but that was part and parcel of what made the film so creapy. The camera work is second to none and i believe is ahead of it's time;how they found the killer is beyond me but even that was a good stroke. The lead actress was a bit over the top with the noise she made and she to me failed to cut it as the opera singer type and she looked stilted while performng the opera scenes but she was nice in her role.     Filled with twists and turns it's ending rivals any i've seen for drama .    This is highly recommended by me..highly.      The score is just awesome

Hellhounds on my Trail: Lost Scent . &quot;Hellhounds on my Trail&quot; is a disappointment. The legendary Robert Johnson, perhaps the greatest blues musician in the history of this country, is unseen and effectively unheard in this collage of generally mediocre performances by admirers and wannabes. In fact, the two weakest performances in the film are the opening and closing sequences. The only insight which comes through clearly here is the vast gulf in talent between Robert Johnson and his imitators

Comedy Central, listen up . Patton Oswalt is funny and my two stars is not because of his performance. It's because of Comedy Central mangling the DVD version.    The show was originally broadcast on Comedy Central, and as such it was cut down to about 40 minutes so it could fill a one-hour time slot with commercials.     The DVD has the original show, and then in the bonus section, it has "deleted scenes," which are the parts of the full-length concert that were cut for time.     So, you can watch the time-edited show, or you can watch the out-of-context segments that were taken out. But what you can't do, and what I have to think any chimpanzee able to use sign language would know you would want to do, is see the original full-length show in its entirety.    So, cheers for Patton, boos for CC. I won't be buying the DVD and that's why.

Just one question: WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE EXPECT? . Come on people! What did you expect from this movie? Did you think it was going to be like the slience of the lambs? Did you think it was going to win best picture? Did you think that Micheael Douglas or his hot wife or their daughter would die? I seriously hope not. Everyone knew what was going to happen in this movie. There would be action, suspense and a very predictable ending. No, duh. Did you really think that the ending would be shocking? Did you think that the bad guys would kill anyone? Come on.   I didn't expect anything of this movie. NOTHING. And if you were like me, then you would have like it. But, on the other hand, if you were expecting a thriller like Seven or the silence of the lambs, then yeah, you'd be disspointed. But, I decided to rent this, wanting to watch a fun and interesting movie. And it was. I enjoyed the plot, enjoyed the action, enjoyed the suspense, and enjoyed the acting by Michael Douglas and Brittany Murphy. I always am up for watching excellent movies like Ghost World, Frailty, American History X, Seven, etc.. but movies like that are hard to come around. In comes movies like Don't Say A Word. They're predictable, even lame, but I still find them to be fun and amusing. Maybe if you people would lower your dam* expectations, maybe you'd enjoy movies like this. This is worth a rent if you don't expect seeing a best picture nominee. But, all the reviewers on Amazon obviously were thinking: "the next silence of the lambs! The next Seven! Weeh!!!!!!!!!!!" Yeah, like Michael Douglas would actually die or anything plot twist, crazy like Seven is going to happen in this movie. You'll like this if you lower your expectations.

Wellman Adaptation Lacks Suspense... . After watching the fabulous bonus features on this DVD (a biography of William 'Wild Bill' Wellman with observations by Robert Mitchum and Tab Hunter, another bio of "Track" author Walter Van Tilburg Clark, a look at actual mountain lions and their habitat, and more), I realized I held a 'minority opinion' of the film, itself, compared to many of the reviewers you'll read, here; I think it is stagy, lacks the sense of dread and palpable suspense of the novel, and doesn't 'hold up' as well as most of the director's work.    A tale of a dysfunctional family at it's boiling point, and the impact a nearly primordial panther has, in changing their lives, the characters, with the exception of always watchable Robert Mitchum, as the domineering middle son, are all either boring, frustratingly indecisive, or downright unlikable. Oldest son William Hopper, best-known as 'Paul Drake' in television's "Perry Mason", is the dreamer, who 'bonds' with the environment, but lacks the instinctive power to defeat the cat, and never comes across as more than wishy-washy; bitter spinster sister Teresa Wright offers a one-note portrayal that soon becomes grating; youngest son Tab Hunter is so wimpy that you quickly lose interest in him; Philip Tonge, the loquacious alcoholic father, whose drinking problem, in the novel, is tragic, here becomes a stereotyped comic drunk, with hidden bottles of liquor providing 'comic relief'; Diana Lynn, as Hunter's girl, tries hard, but never seems more than a minor character in the proceedings; even legendary Beulah Bondi, as the greedy, Bible-spouting, mean-spirited mother, seems to simply channel her 'bad mom' portrayal from the "What if?" sequence of "It's a Wonderful Life". Worst of all, ex-Little Rascal Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer, encased in phony-looking 'old age' make-up to 'pass' as a 100-year-old ranch hand/medicine man, looks neither believable, or comfortable in the role.    With a farm set that looks patently artificial (and obviously on a sound stage), the outdoor scenes, shot at Mount Rainier, must take up the slack; sadly, despite the creativity in using high contrasts to make the colors achieve a 'black and white' look, the book's greatest asset, the constant, frightening 'unseen' presence of the malevolent cat was, to me, never achieved, despite a Mitchum monologue as he gradually succumbs to helpless fear; in fact, Hunter's final confrontation with the cat is handled so 'routinely' that you can't understand what all the fuss was about!    The film was a big letdown!

A disappointment... . I love the FIRM workouts, and I love the instructor Allie, so I was so excited to try this new workout.  I was unfortunately extremely disappointed.    This workout was not complicated, but it also wasn't much of a workout.  I didn't get my heart rate up at all, and didn't break a sweat.  Some of the moves are just not very good, and having to repeat them everytime we add on got really annoying.    The disco part was my favorite, but overall, this is a workout that I can honestly say I would rather have the money then the workout.  I will keep it and periodically do it on a VERY light day or in addition to another workout, but that's just because I have it.      I've tried a couple other of the new FIRM workouts that are more worth the money...this one I am sad to say is not.

Francis Ford Coppala's first musical . Coppala was right out of college when he was asked to do "Finian's Rainbow". It had been a big hit on Broadway in the 40's but predated the civil rights movement.  Coppala had the task of updating it for 1968.    Fred Astaire is 69 in the title role and this was his last role dancing and singing. This was the first times since the beginning of Astaire's career that he didn't have control over the direction of his musical numbers. Coppala was an inexperienced director and fired Hermes Pan, Fred's chorographer. He admits that it was his fault that  Fred's big number in the film didn't come out the way should.    Petula Clark is wonderful as Astaire's daughter. Tommy Steele who was also in "The Happiest Millionare" and "Half a Sixpence" plays a part typical of his personality.   There is very little chemistry between Petula Clark and her love interest, Dan Franck.  PLOT:  Finian(Astaire) is an Irishman that steals a pot of gold from Og (Tommy Steele). He heads toRainbow Valley, which is right next to Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he thinks burying the gold will multiply his riches.  He meets some people, Woody and Silent Sue, and gives them money to save their land from the bigot senator (Keenan Wynn).  In return he wants part of their land to secretly bury the gold.  Og follows Finian to get his gold back. He is turning into a mortal because he has lost his pot of gold.  Meanwhile, Finian's daughter(Petula Clark) is falling in love with a local, Woody (Dan Franck).    Nicely restored with great special features. Includes a commentary with Coopala that actually has a mini documentry before it.  Featurette is the world premere with interviews with the stars
