(T. Skeen, 2009-11-06) This movie is perfect for those kids who are just old enough to enjoy something a little longer than the standard 25 minutes of an episode. The movie keeps their attention, but is long enough to be considered a true movie. I wish they had more like this.

(Tiffany Torres, 2009-10-11) I bought this movie for my infant who gets extremely excited when mickey mouse clubhouse comes on. Movie is cute, and educational but fun!

(Aimee Schaper, 2009-10-04) MY 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old loved this latest addition to Mickey's clubhouse.

(airline ramp supervisor extraordinaire, 2009-10-01) My son is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fanatic. He loves everything Mickey, and we own most of the Clubhouse DVDs. I like this one because it is a longer feature unlike most of the other DVDs which contain 3 or 4 of the regular episodes you can find on the Disney Channel. I wish it had stuck closer to the Wonderland storyline, but I suppose that would be more for me than for my son. If your child likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I am sure they will enjoy this movie.

(Gregory Ehrbar, 2009-09-21) This year we've seen Abby Cadaby of "Sesame Street" go to the Muppet version of Wonderland, next year we're going to a Tim Burton vision of Wonderland, but right now we can follow Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and the gang down a different sort of rabbit hole. "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" is a CG-animated daytime series for preschoolers on the Playhouse Disney schedule of the Disney Channel. It has some references to the original "Mickey Mouse Club" -- a roll call, for example -- but instead of Mouseketeers, Mickey and his pals play a more central role. The stories are simple and involve viewer participation, in the style of "Dora the Explorer." This lengthened episode takes the gang to a gentler version of the Lewis Carroll land, where the characters suggest Mother Goose more than Wonderland and the songs are short ditties. It's nice to see characters like Daisy Duck, Clarabelle Cow and others join the action with Mickey, Goofy and Minnie. Most of all, it gives young children a chance to get to know these characters as something besides merchandise. The late, great Wayne Allwine is on hand here to voice Mickey, along with his widow, Russi Taylor as Minnie. Recently announced Disney Legends Tony Anselmo and Bill Farmer voice Donald and Goofy, respectively. The program can be played in two modes for different age groups with questions for advanced play. A bonus episode of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" called "Goofy Goes Goofy" rounds out the package.

(Cestmoi, 2009-11-02) I rented disc 1 of season 1. It contains 3 parts. I finished watching only part & and 2 because they're so boring. I preferred "Black Hawk Down".

(Eric Reynaga, 2009-10-18) Once again we see how every day that goes by we see how every generation becomes more ignorant, more out spoken about a lot of nothings they know not. Just because they read it in the news paper or watch it on TV or online, it must be true right? I come from a long line of Marines from me joining after high school to my father being in Vietnam to my uncles in Korea and WWII. Yes this series has a lot of truths, the vulgarity, profanity the racism, the over cellos Coos, combat senerios, to the rules of engagement. From how Iraqis are welcoming you with open arms to then trying to kill you when your not looking. As a Marine in my opinion this series has a lot of Anti-War, Anti-Bush BS! You would think with the internet people would actually educate themselves, that's how Obama got elected! This is War , war is dirty and war is nasty, but this series make us Marines look like a bunch of un organized morons. We as Marines are trained to kill, you can call it brain washing from boot camp but that's how it is. Yes we do have a human side also. No one should be allowed to make movies or write books based on what they think war is, specially if they have never served and actually gone to war!! This series is garbage! If your a part of the ignorant generation this series will fit you just fine..

(C. Ignacio, 2009-09-30) My husband and I really enjoyed the 7 part series. It was really hilarious, and captivating. It truly showed that Marines are just day to day people, with very interesting jobs. My husband is an active duty Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines. He thought it was great the movie implemented many of the acronyms & terms the Marines use. He had to explain a few of them to me. We've recommended the series to many of our friends, especially our friends who don't know anything about the military. It was nice having seen it on Blu-ray, there are a lot of great scenes, and the special features are awesome.

(Don C. Wilder, 2009-09-27) As an OIF and 8 year Marine Corps veteran, I have always been disappointed with the portrayal of Marines on film. There's usually something wrong with the uniforms, the lingo, the attitude, or something and it tends to make the story unbelievable to real Marines. But they got everything right this time (well as close as they could). I was with 3rd AAV Battalion in '03 so I wasn't too far behind these guys. Watching this series gave me chills at points and I laughed at things no one else could understand. It sent me right back to Camp Matilda. I relived my whole war experience while watching this. I remember driving through those crossed swords too! The best part is the dialogue. I have been trying to explain how Marine communicate with each other and the is the best example I could give. Bottom line, if you want to get taste of true Marine Corps culture, watch this immediately!!! Its as accurate as I have ever seen. The attention to detail is outstanding and those characters are found all around the Corps.

(Kenneth Cooper, 2009-09-13) this movie is as close to the real thing as you are going to get. i was a Marine in iraq and i can tell you from personal experience that this movies captures the trash talking, the brown nosing that the staff nco's be doing and the real thoughts of Marines. good movie, i strongly advise you to get it if your into this kind of stuff but you might want to take caution if you suffer from ptsd.

(Dr. Joseph Suglia, 2009-10-31) This is clearly Blake Edward's most significant and most pleasant film. It has very little of the garishness, decadence, and sordidness that mar some of his other work, though I admire all of his cinematic projects. I believe it would be fair to say that Victor / Victoria is about the moment at which art stops resembling life and becomes life. The hilarious cockroach scene is a beautiful instance of the traversal of the seeming / being distinction: The restaurant IS, in fact, infested with cockroaches if the patrons believe that it is. James Gardner feels duped at first---he is attracted to a man impersonating a woman, but that figure is, in fact, a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman. Later on, Gardner's character recognizes that it doesn't matter, ultimately, if Victor is naturally male or female. "Her" project is to contrive appearances of appearances---not to convince spectators that her appearance is natural, but to persuade them that her appearance is merely a convincing appearance, that her "truth" is purely phenomenal. How clever that the film alludes to Madame Butterfly! At times, the phenomenon is "realer" than any reality. "People believe what they see" - they ***want*** to be taken in by appearances and are inescapably disappointed by nudas veritas. I think, in this regard, of Bernstein and Toddy: both characters are gay and yet also convincingly, almost natively heterosexualized. When they are wearing their "straight" masks, are they lying? Are they pretending? The film conjures up the ancient paradox of Megara: When liars say, "I am lying," are they telling the truth? A lie is not a lie if everyone believes it, including the liar him- or herself. I think of the wonderful bedside conversation between the Julie Andrews and ultra-masculine James Gardner characters: "I find it all fascinating. There are things available to me as a man that I could never have as a woman. I am emancipated... I'm my own man, so to speak." The point, I think, is not that one appearance is a false and the other is "the truth," but that two mutually contradictory appearances can coexist simultaneously. Julie Andrews' character can switch from "Victor" to "Victoria" in the same way that some of "our" bilingual students switch from Spanish to English and then back to Spanish again. And why not? We live in, to cite one of the songs, a "crazy world / full of crazy contradictions," a world of shifting, ambiguous appearances that give life its thrill. Philosophically speaking, the film exhibits neither a pious, life-negating Platonism nor a Nietzschean celebration and aestheticization of hollow appearances. It suggests, rather, that you can shift from one phenomenal identity to another without either identity being "true" or emptily fraudulent. And why not? Humans are enormously complex creatures, and life is overwhelmingly ambiguous and complex. Dr. Joseph Suglia

(James D. Crabtree, 2009-09-06) Not that funny, although there were a few decent gags here and there (the travails of the French waiter come to mind) but the rest of it is disappointing. The musical numbers didn't even do Julie Andrews' voice justice as far as I am concerned. I watched it out of curiousity but don't see myself watching it again.

(Sylvia M. Hamilton, 2009-09-05) The movie is very good and I love Julie Andrews and James Gadner. Very funny.

(Paul D., 2009-07-21) This was a very popular movie, but it really doesn't work on a number of levels. The major flaw, is that Jule Andrews just doesn't convince as playing a man, the whole crux of the story. It's not her fault, she's simply not the kind of actress who was able to transform herself enough, to take on the mannerisms, looks, movements, facial expressions, etc of a male (even a 1930's sophisticated "gay" one), although I'm sure she gave it her all. Without at least a degree of suspension of belief (as Dustin Hoffman, a very different breed of actor, succeeded in conveying in another crossdressing romantic comedy from the same year, TOOTSIE), the movie's mechanics and set pieces fall flat. The fault lies here with director Blake Edwards, who by this point had taken to casting Andrews in all of his movies (S.O.B. is a better, though certainly less popular example of their collaboration). Granted, the role would have been a tough casting choice in any era; to get a good singer, but one with honed enough physical acting skills to pull off the role; five years or so later Glenn Close (by which point she had become a star) would have been a far better choice, and today of course, CGI would probably be used to resculpt Andrews as "Victor". So if we don't believe Andrews as Victor in the first place, the musical set numbers in which we see "him" as a female impersonator really just become laborious...we're just watching Julie in some mediocre (at best) musical scenes, in close up yet; no female impersonator is that good, the concept of the impersonator is of course illusion, and Edwards and Andrews don't pull off the illusion that we the real audience is watching the screen audience believe they're watching a female singer, who then turns out to be man pretending to be a woman). The first time I saw Boy George, I thought he was a female, having had the presence and mannerisms of a female, his illusion worked, at least the first time, even if he wasn't actually doing a female impersonation act. In SOME LIKE IT HOT, a film smartly shot in black and white, Lemmon and Curtis never convince they're females (I don't think they're trying), but the comedy is broad enough, and the filmmakers create such a sense of good will and humor with the audience, that we just accept the scenario and go along for the ride. As Victor, Andrews simply looks like a woman with short hair, a man's suit, and is lowering her voice a little. SOME LIKE IT HOT brings up two other major flaws in VICTOR/VICTORIA. Everything I tried to make a case for above could be thrown out a window if only the movie is very funny, and it's not. It's cute, it's not a bad way to spend two hours on a rainy day, but except for a few chuckles, it's just not funny. Blake Edwards tries, and you can certainly see his wheels spinning, but again, most of the jokes fall flat. Edwards tries to catch lightning in a bottle again in a running gag with a tired replay of an Inspector Clouseau type private eye; and another running gag with a waiter (Graham Stark, from Edwards' Pink Panther franchise) leads nowhere. The film finally lacks a great payoff, in fact, loses steam about two thirds of the way through, with no conflict or tension set up. It could be that after Edwards elaborately built his premise, he finally had no where to go with it (I haven't seen the early 1930's German film on which this one is based), suprising for a writer/director of his quality (and the opposite of Some Like It Hot, which has a perfect structure, conflict and resolution). The supporting cast of Alex Karras and Lesly Ann Warren perform their tasks admirably, John Rhys-Davies is given nothing to do. James Garner is James Garner, and Robert Preston kind of steals the show, but it's really not a great, bravura character performance either (and his character becomes nearly invisible for a long stretch, until his drag number at the coda, which also doesn't work very well, either as a set piece, or in terms of storyline). The movie was successful enough to have spawned a Broadway musical production a dozen years later, starring in turn Andrews, Liza Minnelli and Raquel Welch. But though Victor/Victoria is fondly remembered, it's not very good.

(James Lutz, 2009-07-12) Great movie with a great cast. Not only are the main characters well portrayed, but the supporting cast is superb as well.

(Jeffrey T. Munson, 2009-09-29) This DVD contains three scary episodes from popular children's writer R.L Stine. The first episode, "Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns, follows four young kids as they go out trick-or-treating. Lee and Tabby enjoy scaring their friends and this year, they decide to keep up the tradition. But, the tables are turned, and the friends are scared by several scary jack-O'-lanterns. "Vampire Breath" is the second episode on the DVD. Freddy and Cara are about to celebrate their 13th birthday and decide to snoop for their presents. Instead of finding presents, they discover a hidden door in the basement that hides a scary secret. The final episode is called "Let's Get Invisible". Max and Noah discover a mysterious mirror located in a hidden room in their house. The mirror has the power to make them invisible. At first, becoming invisible is fun for the boys, but as they continue to experiment, the fun turns to something else. The R.L. Stine series of books have been favorites of my children for some time, and they enjoyed watching this scary DVD. The episodes are scary, but not so scary as to give them nightmares. I recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys the R.L. Stine book series. Turn out the lights, curl up in front of the tv, and get ready for some Goosebumps!

(towitchy4u, 2009-09-26) If you LOVE Halloween as much as me and my family do, then you will love the trick or treating fest as much as we do! Halloween is a great time of year to be anything or anybody you want to be. What a way to enjoy your childhood! Brings back GREAT memories!

(Amos Lassen, 2009-09-16) "OMG/HaHaHa" The MySpace Generation Amos Lassen WaterBearer Films brings us a new film from Memphis, Tennessee, "OMG/HaHaHa" directed by Morgan Jon Fox. He looks at today's generation by giving us small vignettes of loosely connected friends and we are privy to the connections made online and in real life. What we see are kids that need to be heard, seen and understood. Their lives are interactive and we learn about the main character, Derrick, by his reactions to what goes on around him. Derrick had lots of charm and portrays the classic "emo" look. He attempts to document history and his generation through You Tube. The kids of Memphis represent a microcosm of kids everywhere today--they struggle to grow up online while their familial problems happen around them. Several of the characters deal with GLBT issues and we even have a verbal homophobic attack. The construction of the film is interesting--a series of loosely connected vignettes that are replete with stories of angst based upon pregnancy, homosexuality, dying parents and existential looks at life. The movie is improvisational and the cinematography is simple as is the narrative structure. There is a great deal of charm and as an independent film; this has a lot going for it. An independent coffee shop owner finds out that she is pregnant and a transgender girl has to tell the father that violated her for years goodbye as he dies. A 14 year old boy is becoming a father and wonders about his parenting skills and a boy reaches the age of 23 and learns that he cannot bring his boyfriend (of 6 years) home to his parents for a birthday party. Another 17 year old wants more out of life than his family can provide him and the film tries to shed some light onto the problems of them all. It is part vlog, part improvisational narrative and part mockumentary.

(E. White, 2009-09-21) I have played this DVD over several times, and will play it some more. By concentrating on one subject, the content of how to apply the methodology of the Law of Attraction is emphasized and I have found it to be very helpful in all areas. I was also impressed with the kindness shown toward each participant, many of whom were in obvious emotional distress regarding their inability to apply the teachings to their own problem.

(Rebecca Grabowski, 2009-09-14) I thought this was an interesting idea about how to get slim just by thinking. It does seem to take a bit of willpower, but it's something I think most people could do. It's a good one. I also liked The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships.

(Kathy W, 2009-09-14) These 2 discs are a compilation of Q & A clips, taken from past seminars, but these are the questions that most of us would likely ask when we want to know about weight issues. If you are familiar with the Hicks, they speak for Abraham, a collective consciousness and much, if not all, of the message is based on the Law of Attraction. This program is, in effect, aligning your consciousness to only what you do want (instead of what you do NOT want) to reach the weight you want to be. Disc 1 In disc 1, Esther/Abraham reminds us about being able to create our own realities and how aligning up properly with focused energy can bring us anything we want. She explains the need to develop a process that slowly changes the vibrational effect of what we want to achieve. Really a double-whammy program, it talks about relieving yourself of not only weight, but debt, too and anything else you don't want. This is a totally different way of losing weight than 99% of the diet programs you will normally find. She also explains the importance of the emotion and expectation you place within your thoughts and how you actually need to ALLOW wellness. It is about subtle differences in your thinking that change the resistance and change your vibration. She gives you plenty of examples in the change in the words you say to yourself. She also explains that there is no one way for everyone; no diet that fits us all, because we are all different. Disc 2 We continue with Q & A clips, as the person asks their particular question and as Abraham answers through Esther. This disc talks about creating a positive vibrational alignment with your eating experience; FEELING the emotion within where you want to be, while accepting and loving yourself where you are now; KNOWING that you are moving "downstream" (in the direction you want) and not giving up before the results can show up; not worrying about what you think others think about you; improving your own vibration, which improves the vibration of everything and everyone who comes into contact with you; not feeding a lot of energy into things that happened to you in the past; changing your CURRENT vibration; putting things into your vibrational escrow; getting excited about moving forward. Of course, that's it in a nutshell. You need to actually listen to the 2 discs to get the full effect and the emotional buy-in, and probably listen to them many times. It sounds like a good product with a ton of helpful information. For many of us, weight maintenance has been a life-long process, so it is difficult to believe that changing our way of thinking could help. I can say that I have been doing my own work with the Law of Attraction in a variety of ways and I have made a tremendous difference just by re-aligning my thought patterns. The hardest thing seems to be to BELIEVE first, BEFORE you see, because that is in total contrast with everything we have been taught as we have traveled through life. Sometimes, the very act of re-aligning our thoughts, at the very least, changes our determination, our outlook, and our way of proceeding toward a goal. I think it's worth a try and what Abraham/Esther says makes sense to me.

(Love to Learn, 2009-09-14) Came timely, perfect condition, I was surprised, thought I was ordering a book...must have been in a hurry that day! As usual, Ester is wonderful!

(alldera the conqueror, 2009-09-13) I understand that some Abraham material can get repetitive, so if you have all or most of the other DVDs you might not like this DVD because it does, from what I've been told, include a lot of people from other Abraham-Hicks DVDs. If it wasn't for that I would have given this DVD five stars. I've only seen a few of the series so there was only one interview that I had already seen. So if you are having weight issues it's a great DVD if you aren't familiar with the other ones. Esther talked to one woman and recommended that she make a list of her goals and things she could do with regard to weight and divide it into columns, from easiest to hardest. She said start with the most simple and easy things you can do and check off your list. Focus on the easiest things the most and do them the most, before you even try to attempt to tackle the harder stuff on your list. The easest recommmendation she gave was just drink eight glasses of water a day and put on three or four songs that you like and just move and dance to them each day. I did try that and I've been slimming down just after a few days. I'm starting to see my jaw-line again, and it's becoming more defined every day! :) Not only that I feel more fit and healthy and have more energy, which is the great thing about exercize. The more you do it, the more energy you have to do even more. I'm now up to working out to about 10-15 of my favorite songs and it's completley effortless and fun. I also just started to incorporate Pilates, which I tried before but it seemed so hard and tedious to do in the past. I LOVE Pilates now. And this DVD is great not just for weight loss, but for learning that the most important thing is not just reaching your goals or improving your life circumstances with more money or finding a mate or whatever it is that you've been yearning for, but learning that what we are here to do is to be a CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL and learning how to focus our beliefs and emotions to creat FOR THE SAKE OF HOW FUN AND EXHILARATING IT IS, and to realize how amazing and beautiful we are already! The seeming repetitiveness of some of their material actually was good for me because that's something that really took a while to get through my head from reading and watching Abraham. I finally GOT IT. :) I think it took a while because I was so wrapped up in worrying about my weight and finances and all that other stuff that I didn't relax enough to even get the full message. I just heard "you can get what you want from thinking positive." (the familiar "Well, I've been thinking positive, where's my stuff??") Which made me even more frustrated. BUT: Enjoy the PROCESS of creating, even the frustrating parts, AND the contrast, as Esther would say. Embrace it all. And retraining yourself to know that it's not only OK to feel good, but it's the most important thing. Learning to feel great no matter what your circumstances or what other people say or think is a very powerful place to be!

(Amos Lassen, 2009-05-15) "She Likes Girls 4" "8 New Lesbian Shorts" Amos Lassen Coming to us soon from Wolfe Video is "She Likes Girls 4", a collection of eight lesbian short films. "Babysitting Andy" from Canada is about a nine year old tomboy who has questions for her gay uncle and his boyfriend and it is very funny. "Pit stop" from the U.S. tells of a young tomboy who is accidentally left behind at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. She surprisingly meets an older woman there. "No Bikini" another American film is about a young girl who passes for a boy after she takes off her bikini top. "Don't Mess with Texas" tells of two activist dykes (and I do not use the word lesbian) who go on a road trip and have an experience at a diner in a small town. Lily is a girl gang leader in "Mars" and she meets Anna a strong willed and nice girl who is a photographer. It is a story of opposites attracting. "Gay Bash" is a new way to look at pride, this time in hip-hop music. In "I Heart Veronica Martin", Darby is a loner who falls for Veronica, a cheerleader who has just broken up with her boyfriend. This is the story of lesbian lust. "Pages Of A Girl" is about Ingrid and Silvia who meet at a bookstore and fall in love. There is also a bonus featurette which revolves around the National Center for Lesbian Rights. This anthology has something for everyone and shows that girl's short films have found their way into the canon of gay cinema.

(Nellie Rivera, 2009-10-18) Telling your life story to make your life better is what this dvd is all about. I hgihly recommend this all who want to tell a different story of what your life can be.

(Linda M. Emmett, 2009-09-13) This DVd I watched several times and then the part of the DVD titled YOur Source Tells this Story, just got me going, I was so excited and now that is what I watch over and over and it is sinking in, until you start telling the story the way you want your life to be then you are going to keep getting the same thing. I love it. I love the people, I think Abraham is so funny, she or him or whatever it doesn't matter, Abraham is funny and Esther and Jerry are such a perfect match for this. I am so glad that they are putting this message out there, cause it is so needed. If you want to know what Abraham is all about this DVD will do it, ABraham will tell you how to start telling Your Story and your life will start working for you. YOu can apply this so all challenges in life. Love it.

(Tawn E. Head, 2009-09-12) I just loved this DVD set, yes, another successful educational tool for our enlightenment. Since wathcing this new episode I have been consciously telling a new story about my life. Abraham's info has again helped me to move forward and more easily what with putting the past behind me and telling a new story from this point on. Not only has it helped me with new ideas, but now I hear others being in the past and can gently encourage them to tell a new story too. Yeah for Abraham, and thank you to the Hicks! I always get the next piece of guidance to help me know and see that I am moving forward. I stay in the flow or the vortex and keep trusting and breathing...life is good, as good as I can accept for myself now. Telling a new story does help with keeping your vibration high.

(Cheryl, 2009-09-10) If you felt that "The Secret" left EVERYTHING important out, then read anything by Abraham-Hicks, watch their videos, go to their website ([...]) or attend a workshop. Their work will help you in a way that no other works come close. I love Abraham, I love Esther and Jerry and I love Amazon!!!

(J. Dion, 2009-08-21) If you like The Law of Attraction and I love it. and haven't seen too many other videos then you will love this but I find that a lot of the DVD's are the same people over and over again. In this DVD there wasn't much new that I hadn't already seen. I'm not talking about the same story or facts, they are the same people in the same situations. Still it's a good message but I was hoping for different people talking about different situations to make their point. I find this with most of their products. The Hicks have become much more marketing oriented and are putting out products that have different titles but little new material. I still really enjoy all the Abraham has to say I am just thinking that they are getting too much into selling. I'm all for profit but I don't want to feel ripped off and I'm starting to.

(Iona Bustin, 2009-11-05) I did not watch this dvd as when it arrived I realized it was not the one I thought it was.

(Mary Yoannidis, 2009-11-03) Loved the first series, the second series was also fantastic. Can't wait to get the third series. Love it

(Kaleigh, 2009-10-23) It came quickly and was brand new. On top of it all, the second season is amazing!!

(Gabrielle Janik, 2009-10-13) One of the best series on TV. Couldn't wait to get my hands on this whenit was released.

(A. Brown, 2009-10-12) I wanted to yell......MOVE ON PLEEAASSSSSEE!! Other than that it was pretty good. More Georgina Please.

(ymmv, 2009-10-01) Mayerling has been released a number of times by crummy companies specializing in PD movies. That's why the AV quality has always been awful. The recent rerelease by Criterion in 2009 is an official one and this the quality is great. So buy that one. If you see bad reviews, the buyer got one of the substandard prints of this movie.

(Vdtraynier, 2008-03-31) this cassettee was not clear and sharp as i was led to belive citing a "new video of mayerling " this copy is no better than one i bought a few years ago from notorious "e bay " sub titles sink below the television picture so losing a lot of story line . so in all, very disapointed sorryto have to state this but you asked my opinion

(Guni Martin, 2007-08-06) I know the film is from a not to good copy, but it was all reight

(R Atherton, 2004-07-27) Mayerling doesn't deserve this treatment. Boyer (who I'm not a big fan of) is in his element as the domineering, passionate prince. Darrieux is exquisite as his lover. And the director Litvak does a stunning creative job of placing the camera just so, whether at an intimate beergarden or the royal opera. But...the transfer to this VHS tape is awful. Long sections are out of focus, the whole film is muddy and scratched, and half of the subtitles are below the screen. A great film, but please do not buy the wretched copy offered here.

(Anonymous, 2000-05-23) One of the greatest love stories ever to grace the screen, a bittersweet and poignant romance between a star-crossed Austrian Prince and his adoring mistress. MAYERLING is a touching masterpiece; a poetically tragic romance, the kind of which seem obsolete in movies anymore. Only Boyer could have played the doomed Rudolph so expertly and with such incisive understanding: he becomes the part and gives a majestic portrayal. Darrieux is tender and electric as the sad young woman who chooses death to be with the man she loves. The success of the film lies in its manner, not its matter. There have been many recognition-scenes, such as the one at the ballet where Danielle Darrieux as Marie Vetsera becomes aware that the prince in the royal box is indeed the young man of yesterday's carnival! It was a compliment on Miss Darrieux's acting to remember more scenes involving her than anyone else; her American debut was certainly promising. This in no way detracted from Boyer's brilliant performance as the temptestuous Rudolph which, it suffices to say, is a finished job. The completely excellent cast included Suzy Prim (!)as the comic Countess Larisch, Jean Dax as the glazed-eyed Emperor, Marthe Regnier as the conventional and unsuspecting mother and Debucourt as the implacable spy-director. Directed beautifully by Anatole Litvak.

(Joe from Mass, 2009-10-03) This is one of those Tom Baker episodes that tries to tie to history. Really a nice package, well worth it for Tom Baker fans BTW: Lalla Ward's commentary is a riot!

(Crazy Fox, 2009-09-20) Elaborately balanced between horrific and comedic, "Image of the Fendahl" comes in near the midpoint of Tom Baker's tenure as the Doctor, a justifiably classic phase of the series when those responsible for its making seem confident but not complacent that their efforts will entertain a wide segment of the BBC audience. That is, while a bit murkier and edgier than prior years, this is still "Doctor Who" as the quintessential family show--somehow working on several levels at once. On the simplest and most tangible level we have big slug-like monsters (and, this being the olden days before CGI, I think we should stop a moment and appreciate the inventive craftsmanship that endowed them with a mouthful of squirming writhing tentacles). On an equally thrilling if less visceral level, we have a finely-scripted tale of suspense and mystery. On yet more sophisticated levels yet, all of this is framed and informed by a complex and intriguingly speculative science fiction premise of astronomical scale spanning eons--which might feel overly remote if it didn't all come to a crisis within the familiar context of rural England in the 1970's. And yet all these levels cohere in harmony rather than jarring and grating with each other, which takes astounding storytelling skill if you think about it. It seems natural to characterize this story as the last gasp of the so-called "gothic" tendency seen in the show in the mid-70's. Certainly this is apt in that for all intents and purposes "Image of the Fendahl" follows the plot logic of a good horror story (in some ways it rather reminds me of John Carpenter's 1987 film "Prince of Darkness", in fact). It also works the old reliable "Doctor Who" alchemy of reinterpreting standard horror motifs in a science fiction idiom: the pentagram is a "neural relay", the inability to move as something wicked approaches (a prototypical nightmare) is due to some sort of psychic force, a pinch of salt to ward of evil works because sodium chloride "prevents control of localized disruption of osmotic pressures" and so on. For all that, though, this story is somewhat atypical. In such beloved classics as "Pyramids of Mars" and "the Brain of Morbius" and such, the scientific technical interpretation straightforwardly replaces the supernatural one, utterly displacing and invalidating it--a well-intended nod anyway to the show's original mandate to encourage an interest in science (and history) among its younger viewers. Here things are not so simple, however. The premodern, pre-scientific, indeed pre-Christian manner of explaining these phenomena, especially as they are articulated by the local wise woman/"witch" Martha Tyler, are portrayed not as backwards, ignorant, and wrong but merely as different, as an alternate frame of reference every bit as functional when the Fendahleen are slithering towards you down the hall. You know things are getting weird when the Doctor reels off three mutually-conflicting explanations for what's happening as if all three are equally valid and equally invalid. That's surely eccentric even by the Fourth Doctor's standards. But for those of us who suspect that a little epistemological doubt is healthy, it's also rather refreshing. Multiple levels of significance and sophistication would mean little if not for the wonderfully varied cast of characters we have here though, all of them saved from the brink of stereotype and brought to life by impeccable acting of the first order as well as a superb script sensitive to the finer points of characterization. One actually cares what happens to them, and that's the ultimate sorcery that makes or breaks a tale.

(Jason A. Miller, 2009-09-13) "Image of the Fendahl" was the last of "Doctor Who"'s 1970s Gothic horror fests. Producer Phillip Hinchcliffe, who oversaw such classics as Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars (Episode 82) and Doctor Who: The Talons of Weng-Chiang (Episode 91), had recently left the series; script-editor Robert Holmes (who authored the two above-mentioned stories) was on his way out. New producer Graham Williams was about to lighten the tone dramatically, and the show's violence content was about to fall off. As a swan song for a well-regarded chapter in "Doctor Who"'s long history, "Image of the Fendahl" is a notable but somewhat frustrating story. The plot is complex, involving three conflicting menaces in the English woods: A high-technology "Time Scanner" that threatens to destroy the galaxy; an ancient time rift that's turned the local village into a haven for black magic (or "the Old Religion")... and a 12 million year-old skull that's going to exploit both the Time Scanner and the time rift in order to resurrect Death personified, which will in turn destroy the Earth's population (as opposed to, say, the galaxy). Of course it's never a great idea when the story's named villain poses less of a menace than the secondary plot device. Story writer Chris Boucher (who previously wrote the futuristic Christie-esque Doctor Who: The Robots of Death (Episode 90)) was effective at writing for small but distinctive casts. One mark of a good writer is when the characters have different levels of intelligence. One example of this, as well as of the story's dry wit, is when archaeologist Adam Colby tries to define the term "gestalt" for local villager Jack Tyler. None the wiser, all Tyler can do is gesture at the Doctor and say: "He reads a lot". There's a lot going on story-wise, so the rest of the cast turn out to be sophisticated plot devices as well as individuals. Dr. Fendelman, the inventor of the Time Scanner, turns out to have a mystical connection to the Fendahl skull, which awkwardly manifests in the character's final 30 seconds. Thea Ransome is (for no apparent reason) turned by the skull into a golden-skinned evil goddess. Local "white witch" Granny Tyler turns out to possess just the right amount of homespun wisdom that allows her to defeat the 12 million year-old menace with a few shakers of salt. The text commentary for this disc is a rare failure for the DVD restoration team. A story of "Fendahl"'s complexity suggests the need for a text commentary that both explains a lot of the story's more rapid-fire expository dialogue and attempts to resolve some of the story's plot holes. Instead, the commentary here is full of distracting minutiae, such as "this scene was filmed on this date" and "this tertiary character appeared in minor roles in the following 11 TV shows 30 to 40 years ago". The commentary track features four cast members but no-one from the production booth; there are lots of reminscences about the BBC's Television Centre circa 1977. The DVD release itself is one of the "light" releases, so the only noteworthy extras are a standard making-of feature, and some black-and-white film outtakes. The best part of the extras is the highlighting of Tom Baker's own, often ad-libbed, contributions to the Doctor's on-screen presentation. Baker was compulsively watchable even in a bad story, and his Doctor's eccentricities add just the right amount of whimsy to this otherwise scary story.

(mprof, 2009-09-09) Nothing against this story, but beware this DVD. I've bought it from amazon three times now, and each time it's arrived loose in the box and consequently scratched up. I've bought a lot of Doctor Who DVD's over the years, and it's the first time I've had this experience. Send this one back to the drawing board, or buy locally where you can shake the box to make sure it's secure.

(Eric Walker, 2009-09-08) Thank you BBC for continuing to release the episodes from Tom Baker run on Doctor Who..I bought it the day it came out and it is just like I remembered...It's awesome Doctor Who!!

(Christina E. Hawk, 2009-11-08) This is one of the all best series on the tube. Interesting,entertaining and Caring. This is why I feel that the Miami CSI is by far the best one of all the CSI series, Also there is no better place to purchase all the TV series than Amazon.com. If I want anything I go to Amazon.com. C.E. Hawk

(Mary L. Myers, 2009-11-04) The whoe program is very interesting and keeps you guessing who is the bad one. I enjoy David Caruso in any role he plays. Great entertainment. Thank you, M.L. Myers

(Allan C. Willner, 2009-11-02) This is a wonderful show. I like all of the CSI's but I used to think the original CSI was the best but now I think CSI: Miami is the best. I have all the dvd's Seasons 1 through 7 and I its great to be able to go back and watch certain episodes. Fantastic. Allan Willner

(J. Gilbert, 2009-10-31) This is a great dvd searies. Anybody interested in this searies has to buy the seasions 1 through 6 to get the full viewing pleasure of the complete searies. If you watched csi miami on tv and you liked it then collecting the whole searies is a must to add to your movie collection.

(Marivi Padron, 2009-10-22) I just love every episode! Its always new and exciting and you never get tired of watching it. The charactors are all amazing and HOT! :) LOVE IT!

(Alan Richardson, 2009-10-02) This was a great DVD! I was lucky enough to go to the show, so when I heard it was DVD I had to grab it at once. This is really Stella at their uncensored finest! The only problem I had was that they cut out my favorite bit they did, but I think it was for copyright reasons on songs they used. Regardless, if you don't know it, you can't miss it, and it's still represented really well with this DVD! The special features also do not disappoint! If you like the Comedy Central show, then you will like this DVD, but if you are familiar with their shorts, then you'll like it even better!

(Patrick James Eslick, 2009-09-27) Any fan of the now-canceled TV show STELLA (Stella - Season One), or the new show Michael and Michael Have Issues will most likely enjoy this DVD. Before the TV show, "STELLA" was a sort of three-piece stand-up group formed by three members of the comedy troupe "The State" (they had a show on MTV in the 90s( The State: The Complete Series ). This is what this DVD is, the three of them - Michael Showalter, David Wain, and Michael Ian Black doing their stand-up routine. The act is a little slow getting started, but if you stick with it, it will pay off. I was laughing out loud watching this. The group's brand of comedy is very hard to define. There is a lot of absurdism and a lot of poking fun at cliches. However you define it, their comedy is unlike anything else out there. You will either really love them or you will hate them. If you keep an open mind the former is more likely. The extras on this DVD are not the best ever, there are a few episodes of David Wain's online show "Wainy Days" and a few episodes of the "Michael Showalter Showalter," while these are both quite humouous, they can also be seen for free online.

(Alfredo R. Villanueva, 2009-09-17) This film blew me away. It was like reliving my life, except that it was not Paris, it was New York in the 60's and 70's. What I liked the best was the total honesty in depicting the different factions and interactions between gays, straights, lesbians, bisexuals, one-timers, and the gradual disappearance of the revolutionary spirit as they are all absorbed into dominant discourse. Beautifully done, even down to the bothersome movie camera (I remember a time when absolutely everything had to be filmed). The protagonist is absolutely beautiful. And please, do not compare this movie to Bertolucci's major turkey.

(Peter Fraser, 2009-08-02) Ultra slow moving film. The shakey hand held camera work and the day for night photography (blue sky at night) was very annoying to watch.Bertolucci did it far better and sexier with his erotic film THE DREAMERS which handled the same subject.

(Amos Lassen, 2009-05-26) "Ma Saison Super 8" Gaining National and Personal Acceptance Amos Lassen Water Bearer Films brings us "Ma Saison Super 8" set in Paris in 1968. Marc finds himself adrift after France refuses to grant equal rights to gays. He is forced to deal with his feelings of being gay at a time when there was no place for homosexuals in society. He meets Andre in a park and they begin an on/off relationship which lasts for the following three years. Andre is a factory worker from a small town who is unsure of his own sexuality and he looks to Marc to give him what he needs even though he emphasizes that he will one day get married. Marc is a strong advocate for gay rights and even though the men share heated passion, this fact tempers their relationship and leads Marc to be at odds with his own father who is a police office with the Paris Police Department. Marc gives us his the story of his life on the form of an intimate and perplexed journal. He tells us of his coming to terms with his sexuality and his goals for revolution. Likewise we learn about his family and how and why gay rights are so important to him. The film is a personal one which is shot on black and white and mainly in close-ups and we see a collection of broken images and what seems to be monotonous at first, later evolves into a very personal and beautiful film that requires patience to stick with it. It comes across as an understatement about the place of gays in today's world and the birth of the French gay identity. It is also a testimony to contemporary and modern French history.

(The JuRK, 2009-11-02) I really have to wonder how much of this show feeds off the "reality" of Hollywood. Ideas for storylines (I think I overhead a commentary about basing Vincent driving around to see lines for AQUAMAN on Tobey Maguire driving around to see lines for SPIDERMAN), guest appearances lampooning real stars--the fact that Jamie Lynn Singler is actually dating the actor who plays Turtle who's dating Jamie Lynn Singler is perhaps the bizarrest moment in all of this! You laugh at a scene and wonder: did they base this on someone real? Who was that difficult German director? Are all studio heads this vindictive? I liked this season because Vincent Chase is finally being challenged by the very business that's handed him the world. It's all been so easy up to now. Whether making millions of dollars or losing millions of dollars, Vincent has always just shrugged his shoulders, ready to go back to New York City when the party ends. ENTOURAGE is smart enough to know that was never the real option behind this superstar. It's good to see some ambition with him. But the person I really watch this show for is Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold. He's been my clear favorite for all five seasons. And for all his obscene bluster and crazy energy...he's really a decent guy. He looks out for his family, he works hard for his clients. Even at war, he's difficult to hate when he's not on your side. As long as they don't soften him too much, I'll always come back to see more of Ari's antics.

(Karen L. Lettieri, 2009-10-09) I ordered the Entourage CD's for my daughter and she is loving them so much. The price was right for them too. Thank you.

(A. Wallace, 2009-10-09) What can I say... Absolutely sensational. Each season just keeps getting better and better. Definately add this season to your collection. Ari is as hilarious as always & Turtle finally gets some action. Its a joy to watch.

(Marc "Kirk" Button, 2009-09-21) Product came as promised and comes a slick case to add to my entourage collection. I love this show and this season although it's not my favorite season it's still one of my top and carries the story along smoothly. I recommend to anyone who likes entourage or just good television.

(R. Spencer, 2009-09-16) Quick and easy deal, just as advertised. The 5th season does not disappoint. Ari is back at full speed.

(C. Coffman, 2009-11-09) I agree with another reviewer that this is not really for beginners. There are times when you can't even see the TV to see what it being done and you have to stop, look, listen and then get into the pose only to have her move on to something else. I think to start out a person really needs one-on-one to get the basic positions down, then maybe graduate to this tape when you know what the names of the poses are all about. I did this for a week before I lost interest. Maybe I will pick it up again later; maybe not.

(L. K. Mcwilliams, 2009-11-08) This DVD offers lots of great options. The beginning sequences are gentle stretches that teach beginners how to breathe, how to engage the muscles, how to align the body, and just generally how to move into poses. The stretches feel so good that I was hooked as soon as I tried them. The advanced routines are challenging (at least they are for me, and I'm an absolute beginner). They're challenging enough that I feel like I'm working but not so much that I feel like I can't follow. Can I say again that I'm absolutely hooked? This is a fantastic intro to gentle yoga.

(Rupeshkumar Mehta, 2009-11-07) This DVD is really top of the world.. the way she is explaining everything is so simple but effective.. really good.. I just got this yesterday and i m doing it since 2 days.. feeling great.. really anyone who is thinking to start yoga ,but dont know from where to start .. this may be the answer... really go for it...

(A. Bosky, 2009-11-01) When I got this DVD, I was looking for a true beginner's DVD, as I had never really done much yoga before. This DVD was perfect for what I was looking for. It has a nice variety of workouts that can be mixed and matched to your preference. It's nice to have a choice of length and poses; I especially find the stretching series nice at the end of a long day. Though you may want to add more DVDs to your routine after this one, this is a great one to start with!

(Solar Powered, 2009-11-01) I have mild fibromyalgia Some of the poses strained my back; I was very stiff for several days. I do yoga and I do work out (lightly) on a regular basis, so this may be good for a very healthy and fit beginner, but NOT if you have any back problems!

(bobbolew, 2009-10-30) I watched this documentary for the first time on the History Channel this past September. It is still on my DVR for anyone to watch who cares to. I will order the DVD very soon. This is simply the best. I "forced" 2 of my sons and my wife to watch it. They didn't want to at first, but none of them left and you could have heard a pin drop while we were watching. Well deserving of any of the awards that have, or will, come its way. I also highly recommend, as a companion book, "Watching the World Change: The Stories Behind the Images of 9/11", by David Friend.

(Star Walker, 2009-10-16) The World Trade Center destruction by Al Queda in 2001 was a disaster which has changed history. The historical implications by this event are enormous. The political reverberations will be felt for many centuries to come. The world watched with held breath, while the event of the World Trade Center destruction unfolded on television sets in real time. Man has reaped the consequences ever since. The Great Flood, the Romans and Masada, The American Civil War, Stalin and the Gulags, Hitler and the Holocaust, Hirohito, Rooseveld and Pearl Harbor, Osama Bin Laden, George Bush and The World Trade Center - mind-numbing events which will remain in our collective memories for millenium to come. This video is not for the weak. The courage, the awesome terror of the scenes, and the mind-numbing reality of the actions - or inactions - of the people involved is overwhelming. Parental/Teacher guidance should precede and follow the viewing.

(C. Houser, 2009-10-13) Footage from ordinary people on the streets, using their own cameras will stop you in your tracks. Wathing their reactions to the unknown at the time, and seeing the disbelief followed by confusion and terror will have anyone who watches this film remembering what they felt, as the details began to unfold. There are no reporters asking ridiculous questions, just everyday people in real time respond to a tragedy. You will not be disappointed.

(Ron Pinson, 2009-10-03) I bought this to show it to my government class. This is the best documentary I've seen on 911. It gives you the perspective from the people who were there and survived the worst terrorist act ever against America.

(NJA, 2009-09-13) The Producers, Directors, and Editors took film footage only from real people that were witnessing the attacks on the World Trade Towers on September 11, 2001. The film goes from the minute the first plane hit the first tower...until the 2nd Tower fell. It's actually something you have to see to believe and understand and feel what the people running from the dust clouds were thinking. It just won 3 Emmy Awards tonight, and I could not be happier for the people that made this film. I remember that I was working in the Metcalfe Federal Building in Chicago when all of this was going on, and after the plane hit the Pentagon, and then another went down in Pensylvania, my colleagues and I were very scared. I left work around 10 AM to watch the rest of the day on CNN. This documentary is the closest anyone could ever get to the visceral ugliness of those planes flying into the Towers. Thank you Nicole, Seth, and New Animal Productions for making this important film. Nick

(Randy, 2009-10-06) This film was shown to me in Law Enforcement Managers Course. It touched me on so many levels that I was a must for my home library.

(Kelly R. Cronk, 2009-09-24) I watched this documentary when it aired on television with no commercial breaks (Robert Deniro hosted the event) It is the most humbling piece of work I've ever watched. It is clear that we are witnessing the loss of innocence in the everyday life of a firefighter, as their way of life is violently ripped away. I really felt for them (the filmmakers and firefighters) when you can clearly see that none of them knew how to react in the face of an enormous catastrophic event. It was filmed with respect for the victims and its story clearly needs to be told. The image of two firefighters discussing their job while the Twin Towers are lit up at night in the background, 2 days before 9/11 is extremely haunting.

(MNTwinsMamma, 2009-09-19) I use this in my advanced world history classes (HS). It functions as a primary source that will forever change the viewer. This is one of the most powerful accounts of that day, simply because it was at ground zero, that day, no media, just humans.

(Beverly B. Haynes, 2009-07-01) We had taped the original airing of this documentary,and since it was VHS and missing, we wanted a copy on DVD. Since this film is the only known video documentation of some the actual events inside the World Trade Center after the planes had hit the towers, it's an excellent way to keep the events of 9-11-01 in fresh perspective. It is done with candor, but also with sensitivity and compassion.

(Tony Rowlqand, 2009-05-10) if you watched this on tv when it came out you should grab this copy. it has a lot of deleted material. as a plus it has the presidents address to the nation as a bonus. to bad amazon dose not have 6+ stars.

(Reid in Florida, 2009-11-07) I've always been a fan of the original Creepshow movie. Classic scares with a wicked sense of humor and some great star power. The sfx are lodged in the '80s but were no means cheesy for the time period. The movie looks great in hi-def but I would liked to have seen a few more extras beyond the theatrical trailer. If you are a fan of the film or enjoy a fun scare then this film is for you.

(Jason, 2009-10-11) I love Creepshow, it's my favorite horror movie, but I was disappointed there weren't more extras in the blu ray, since there weren't any real extras on the DVD from 10 years ago. You'd think with blu ray's capacity they'd include much more extras than the DVD, but it didn't happen, so that's the only reason I didn't give this five stars. The movie itself is awesome, even better in high def than on the old DVD.

(tangerinewolf, 2009-10-11) First of all, let me explain that the TWO-STAR rating I've given this, the Blu-Ray DVD version of Creepshow, is only for the DVD itself. The movie, which is one of my all-time favorite horror flicks is definately a FIVE-STAR piece of movie-making! This Blu-Ray disc, as others have found, is a great disappointment. The video transfer is fair at best. I did an A/B comparision between this disc and the regular DVD on two Blu-Ray players with an HD 32" television and I see very little difference. But what's worse, the only extra is the trailer. Now here's the real injustice to Creepshow fans: There is an excellent 2 Disc DVD Special Edition available from the United Kingdom. The first Disc contains the full-length film. But unlike the American DVD release, there's an audio commentary throughout the feature with George Romero and master make-up artist Tom Savini. And in addition to the 2.0 stereo sound, there's also a 5.1 surround soundtrack! The second disc is filled with a multitude of extras! First, there's a 90 minute feature "Just Desserts--The Making of Creepshow." It's loaded with interviews with George Romero, Tom Savini, and many other cast and crew members. Also included are deleted scenes, alternate takes and bloopers. Next, there's behind-the-scenes footage personally filmed by Tom Savini. Finally, there's a stills gallery and of course the trailer. The entire package comes in a clear standard keep case which is contained in an outer cardboard slipcase! Now, if you didn't already realize, here's the bad news: Since this is a European release, it is in the PAL television format, Region 2. It is also very unlikely that any of these extras will ever be available here in the U.S. because Universal Home Video owns the rights to everything in the U.K. not Warner Brothers; actually the 90 minute featurette appears to have been assembled by Universal and is introduced as Universal Presents... I doubt Warner Brothers will ever strike up a deal with Universal to bring these features to us fans in America; they missed their chance for this Blu-Ray release. If you have a region code free DVD player and a PAL to NTSC television converter, go to Amazon.uk and order this package. It's well worth it!!

(William Dorfer, 2009-10-10) Well, considering it's the month of Halloween, I figure I better catch up on my horror reviews. "Creepshow" is an anthology movie from the genius minds of both Stephen King and George Romero, containing several horror-comedy episodes, all at around 20 minutes or so. To this day, such an idea hasn't been done that often, and considering how novel it was at the time it was made, Romero and King pull this off very well. All the stories are entertaining and chilling, and the last one, if you have insectophobia, will be quite a shocker! For a fun and chilling way to spend your Friday night, enter the Creepshow! Thanks for the time, and peace.

(Todd Calcaterra, 2009-09-22) Simply put, Warner Bros. should be ashamed of themselves. A classic horror film like Creepshow sees the glory of Blu ray, but the package is awful! A trailer. Is that all you could come up with? Or is is all you cared to put into it? The 2-disc European DVD is fantastic, and beats this minimal effort blu ray in all but picture.

(Jeans Queen, 2009-11-09) My 2 boys are diehard Thomas fans, and I was disappointed when I heard this new movie wasn't going to use the old model format. The movie is wonderful and it changed my mind about the new cgi graphics. A very sweet, engaging story that I was pleasantly surprised to find interested me. The story has a lot more substance than I expected--there's actually a story and some character development! (Keeping in mind it is still a Thomas kid's movie.) Spencer has been my 2 year old's VERY favorite Thomas train, for some reason, and stories with Spencer are hard to find so we were excited when this video came out. Although he isn't the "nice" engine in the story, the kids still love it and like to see that Spencer redeemed himself in the end. Great addition for any Thomas or Spencer fan!

(G. Knapp, 2009-10-27) I bought this movie for my son's 4th birthday ~ he LOVES it!! It is so sweet and kind and caring and I think it would be wonderful to instill this kind of friendship and loyalty into the children of this generatiion!!!! The animation is outstanding and I just can't say enough nice things about this movie!!! Have fun and be blessed!!

(M. Johnson, 2009-10-15) My 4 year old went bananas when he saw that I bought this for him. He was so happy. I watched it with him the first time and I was impressed with it. The Thomas movies have always been good for kids and now that they are animated it is even better. Not quite as creepy I think! So if you have a Thomas fan in your house this is a must see & buy.

(Lynn L'Heureux, 2009-10-11) This is a great movie, and although it's not very long, it's the perfect length for toddlers.

(T. Mcgaffick, 2009-10-09) A real cute story and my 3 year old really enjoyed the movie. It inspired allot of questions throughout the show. A great show to enjoy time together.

(Flygirl, 2009-11-06) Absolutely incredible dancing -- soulful. A bit fragmented at the beginning. Most viewers would benefit from more dialog rather than relying on movement to tell the story. If one is not a ballet dancer, he cannot grasp the artistic excellence of this film without viewing "Behind the Scenes" under "Special Features". Make sure you watch this FIRST so that you can appreciate the film. Then you will understand the story, characters, expertise, quality, depth and effort that went into this amazing project.

(Thomas E. Richards, 2009-10-27) This man can dance! If you like dance movies with a story this is a classic. Sad to no longer have him around.If you liked Dirty dancing you should have this one in your library.

(Florence Lehman, 2009-10-22) He was a beautiful dancer and we did not get to see him dance enough. I have watched it at least 4 times already and will watch it again and again. I am so glad they did this movie and that I bought it. If you like dance you will like this movie.

(Vee mouse, 2009-10-21) This is a stark and beautiful story of the tragedy and beauty of dancing life for ballet dancers. The lives of older dancers and how they are asked to return to perform their 'last dance' so tender and beautiful a story. Look beyond the words and see their dance together as one...its stunning.

(Tiberius, 2009-10-17) I love the dancing in the film and the discussions about the beauty of dance, but the anger scenes where for example a chair is thrown by Lisa and verbally intended for Patrick made the film less impressive and less enjoyable. The anger scene where Lisa doesn't want to practice with Patrick without a spotter is again another overdone anger kill scene. The theme of the film seems to focus on the anger Lisa has toward Patrick and it is constant throughout the film. It is really only until they get to the last dance, the last ten minutes of the film that they seem to come together as friends and as dancers that appreciate each other. I bought a copy of this film and I wish I hadn't. I find the film too hateful and too demeaning toward the main character, Patrick. If the Lisa character wasn't in the film and if the film had taken a lighter role it probably would have had more enjoyment for the average person who appreciates the beauty of dance but doesn't want to know about all the fights the dancers have between themselves in the process. I enjoy the dancing in the film and its beauty is tremendous but I really have to overlook the just hateful scenes and fights portrayed. I was really disappointed in the level of emotion that overrides the entire film. As the film states Patrick could do anything and he'd be loved, but the rest of the cast has to fight for their position and that is pretty much the theme of the film, the great dislike they each have for Patrick, for various reasons. The overall tone of the film was resentment. The most positive aspect was the last ten minutes of the beautiful and incredible dance. That dance is now posted on the web for anyone to watch. It is far more beautiful to watch than enduring this film and its underlying verbal insults that wade thru the entire film. Tiberius.

(Tyler Bonham, 2009-08-20) Not sure if this is always a good price, but it's a good buy, I personally enjoy all of these & the kids love the X-men & F4 movies. Definately got my $'s worth out of this package.

(Pasquale Ferrante, 2009-06-08) product shipped very quickly in mint condition would definitely recommend this seller for anybody interested in making purchases of this type

(R. Friedlander, 2009-04-09) We bought this for a friend collecting all the Marvel Movies and we were very happy to find this set at a such a great price for so many awesome movies. Our friend was very happy with the set.

(Geodon, 2009-01-08) Purchased this for my DH as a Christmas gift. He is an avid comic book collector with XMEN being his all-time favorite. He was thrilled to have this boxed set to add to his collection and cannot wait to watch his favorites again.

(FamFun, 2009-01-06) I got this DVD box set for $23 around November. A great price for all you get. But that said not all the movies are great or good. So it would be up to you if the price for the movies you really want from this set are worth the total cost. For me it was without a doubt.

(MichaelFla, 2009-11-07) I know there have been multiple live albums made by Ringo Starr and the public can grow weary of seemingly another rehash... Of course my major bias is that I'm a first-generation fan and second; I'll buy practically anything put out by The Beatles. But for this release I'm going to also talk as a musician for this is one heck of a concert release musically speaking. The main element that this performance has going for it is the FUN element. As a musician I've always noticed that when band members are performing with their egos and their "look-how-great-I-am" attitudes not only does it make them look snobbish but it makes for so-so-ho-hum performances. Ringo & The Roundheads are having FUN as they perform. You can actually see band members who are not egotistical at all but rather playing as a unit, knowing that they are links in the chain and pieces of the musical puzzle. They interact with each other and, above all, know that they must provide for Ringo the best possible musical background. Mark Hudson has always been a Beatles' fan and I truly believe that the fact that he's playing with his idol makes him grateful for the opportunity and therefore wants to direct the other musicians into giving his idol the best backup band a guy could have ever asked for. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that this concert has a fun energy the leaps out at you; pulls you in and, as Sgt. Pepper once said; "A Splendid Time is Guaranteed For All"... If you get only one live Ringo Starr DVD THIS IS THE ONE TO HAVE!...

(Ray Thomas, 2009-10-08) This DVD is only Ringo Starr singing his own songs, the backing band are The Roundheads. The sound and picture are perfect. This is a must for every beatle fan. Why the song "Never whithout you" has been edited?. Five stars, don't miss it. The songs are: With A Little Help from My Friends/It Don t Come Easy Octopus Garden Choose Love I Wanna Be Your Man Who Can It Be Now Don t Pass Me By I m The Greatest Give Me Back The Beat Memphis in Your Mind Photograph Back Off Boogaloo Boys Yellow Submarine Act Naturally With A Little Help From My Friends

(Robert Pritchard, 2009-10-05) a new trist on the old song's with the man form down under as a special guess

(Laura Lee Blechner, 2009-11-05) This is our 5th now of this collection. The kids love watching the old looney tunes and it is pretty funny to watch and remember them again. As a reminder, there are definitely violent and non-PC cartoons here - might be worth watching WITH the kids to discuss appropriate methods of problem solving and why we don't make fun of people of other races anymore. Still, mostly very funny.

(Robespierre, 2009-05-24) Don't listen to nitpickers who tear apart a lot of hard work--this is hardly a "sleazy" attempt by the evil Warner bean-counters to "unload" black and white or substandard cartoons. This is a labor of love designed to get every cartoon out to the adult collector. If you don't like it, you're a trash-talking flame-thrower who wouldn't understand a conversation about finger painting, let alone art. If you like the Warner Brothers cartoons, you'll be picking up EVERY set--and they all have hits and misses.

(Annie Oak, 2009-05-15) Excellent. We purchased this collection for our 5 month twins they can sit and watch for a while the color, music and sounds they love!

(B. Ware, 2009-05-05) This collection is one of the best ones out of the series. Watching these old classic cartoons took me back to those Saturday mornings that I spent as child, watching Looney Tunes, wrapped up in my favorite blanket eating a bowl of my favorite cereal. Even today Bugs and the gang still make me laugh. They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

(Andra L. Schiessl, 2009-01-28) I like the color cartoons better. There is a lot of black and white Porky pig in this volume. I should've read the year better I guess.

(condee, 2009-07-15) Would that all my friends had those bodies and I should include myself in that wish.There was plenty "eye candy".There could have been more substance.When Tina had the miscarriage there was little attention given to the affect it had on her and her relationship with Bette.The actor who played tennis pro Dana,in my opinion,was not athletic enough in appearence to be taken seriously in that role. These and other things didn`t stop me from enjoying and wanting to see more.

(Peggy Weyer, 2009-06-30) I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying the next 5 seasons!! Im an dying to know what happens in season two!!

(Marlene J. Drescher, 2009-06-17) This is just an AWESOME show!!! I'm glad I purchased this season and now I have season 2 as well!!! I can't wait till I get seasons 3-6. It has a wonderful cast and the writers, directers and everyone ivolved in the show is just amazing!! I wish it didn't end after season 6, cause so very well done! Thanks to all involed in this show, for bringing us The L-Word.

(S. D. Bader, 2009-04-10) Love the ladies, always a good time watching the L word, anyone that is a fan of the show will love watching it over again!!

(F. Bailey, 2009-04-09) I never saw the first three seasons so this certainly filled in some of the gaps.

(Jackie M. Crowther, 2009-09-14) One of my favorite pictures of all time pictures. The story, though somewhat werid at first, is campy and cultish. However, it has enough "body" to make one think of how life throws events at us that seem to make no sense at first. As we progress throuh time, if we are aware, we realize the events all come together to create what we refer to as "our lives". The search for friendship, love and happiness often falls on "the rocks" no matter how hard we strive to hold onto them. Hedwig's case in point. All we can do is "keep pulling out the wig, wearing it for a while and then putting it back on the shelf". The song, "Origin of Love" is one of the most beautiful, thought provoking songs ever written. Truly written from a perspective of love I had never considered. Probably, one of my favoritesongs ever. If you like the off beat, silly, touching, funny, depressing and "enjoy life today" genre of flicks, this is a must see and own movie. Enjoy.

(Reality Check, 2009-09-14) No problem at all with the way this transaction went down. Totally stand behind this seller. Hope all your sales are as easy and great as this.

(Ricardo, 2009-09-09) This movie was recommended by Netflix based on my previous selections and ratings. I had seen a movie trailer in theaters some years ago and was not interested. I am glad I gave this film a chance. It changed my life. I think it is the best movie I've ever watched. The acting is superb, the songs are fantastic, the storyline is brilliant, the casting cannot be better. Since I bought it I must have watched it 20 times. Several times I invited friends and neighbors and everyone loved it. It is a true 21st century masterpiece, and like every masterpiece everytime you watch it (or look or listen) you discover deeper meaning, brilliant details, and overall genius. The movie is a portrait of an artist, and nothing else should be said before watching it. After watching it, I've decided to read Plato's Symposium and Isherwood's The Berlin Novels, two books that are related to the movie. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this film.

(Jeff Farrow, 2009-07-12) People who know me will look at the title I gave this review--and if they didn't already think so--say, "Oh my, now the poor ol' thing's finally lost it..." I can't help it, I really liked this movie. It had all the earmarks of potential disaster for me. I'm not real found of female impersonation, particularly in a sustained artistic form such as a film. Then there are the inevitable comparisons between HEDWIG and other similiar genre like ROCKY HORROR SHOE, PRISCILA OF THE DESERT, etc. I enjoy comedy, and I also enjoy substance. The world of female impersonation/drag queens can be extraordinarily superficial, filled with an angst that can be met with a world weary response like "So, what?" Let me start with the nuts & bolts, like John Cameron Mitchell's form of gender bending & his musical lyrics & routines. He conveys a great depth to Hedwig without being mired in pathos or mere impersonation. Visually his chracter(s) are stunningly realistic (given the unreality of the world in which s/he lives.) The songs are fantastic, somewhere like a cross between T-Rex & Talking Heads. Some of the animation interjected reminded me of Bjork music videos. Not a great lover of musicals, I found myself actually looking forward to the next number. Pertaining to the Gnostic element, a major theme in the film, it involves Hedwig's relationship with a boy who talks like a Jesus freak, but there is a much deeper level to his spiritual view--and it interacts with Hedwig's views on The Origin of Love. Either intentionally or not, it is almost a classic Gnostic interpretation of The Garden of Eden story of The Fall of Man. The fact that Hedwig invents the name of Tommy Gnostic for her lover may indicate that the artist knew exactly what s/he was doing when it came to the Gnostic theme. I say "artist" because this film is the creation of a great artist in association with other obviously great artists. It's is EXTREMELY entertaining too.

(K. Campisano, 2009-07-07) This is an amazing piece of work and beautifully complemented by the special features (worth the price just in themselves).

(D. M. Bray, 2009-10-27) Trouble the Water is a MUST SEE FILM! I have viewed it many times and have shown it many friends and family members. Every single person I share this film with walks away changed. The in-time footage is breathtaking, the courage and kindness of the people during and after the storm is inspiring and the response of the government to this disaster is eye-opening! After watching Trouble the Water, you may be writing a check for the good people of New Orleans as I did, or at least you will be calling your friends and insisting they watch! Excellent film! Five Stars!

(R. Gawlitta, 2009-10-24) With all due respect for Spike Lee's magnificent "When the Levees Broke", directors Tia Lessin & Carl Deal have produced an account of Katrina that is at once profound and exhilarating in it's straightforwardness. They had not set out to make the final film; it was when they met Kimberly and Scott Roberts that their idea took a different turn. The Roberts' home video footage during the storm and its aftermath is amazing and quite disturbing. Kim does the most talking here, articulating the horrors and sadness without giving in to despair nor noticeable frustration. She speaks intelligently and sensibly, giving a first-hand account of survival. Kim spares no denial of the crime, drugs and poverty, but provides honest and sensitive comments regarding government ambivalence and pure ignorance. One must see the film to genuinely feel the pain. Many reviewers have already gone into detail about elements of the film, so I'll simply recommend this film highly. DVD extras are plentiful; lots of generous interviews and discussions. The directors have presented a powerful documentary, but I have no end of admiration for the Roberts' contribution. Not enough was said about their friend, Larry, a true hero.

(Michelle Ottaviano, 2009-10-24) If you have not seen "Trouble the Water" directed and produced by Tia Lessin and Carl Deal - Rent or buy it today. It pisses you off and inspires you at the same time. We can not forget the people in New Orleans...the fight down there to make things right is not done! What impressed me the most about this film is the commitment the makers of the film had to tell the truth through their entire experience. It was brave not just from a reality stand point...but from a personal stand point. Whenever you hear another human being so clearly tell the truth in the now - It humbly empowers us to do the same. Trouble the Water

(Birdman, 2009-09-22) Perhaps it is unfair. One week before viewing this documentary, I'd read -- with appreciation and wonder -- Dave Egger's magisterial non-fiction work, ZEITOUN. The resonance Dave Eggers has with his character and the many moral, ethical and spiritual issues the author invokes in his narrative of a Katrina survivor -- far outweigh the significance of this film. I recognize I'm overlapping media, but there you have it. Who could argue with the passion, decency and authenticity of Kimberly Rivers? The woman is a saint - as is her husband, as were many of her neighbors. That, sadly, does not a five-star documentary make. The film's greatest strength is its coverage of the hours before the storm made land, in which an ordinary community was transformed, moment-by-moment, into absolute hell. The hand-held, home-video photography works well, as do the many cut-in segments to network news and obtuse statements by George Bush, who is too stupid and culpable to even mention here. Even so -- and unlike Egger's ZEITOUN, which exposes far more than the garden-variety racism which emerged after Katrina -- this movie communicates very little new convictions or material which might grip or educate a viewer. That doesn't mean the film is a flop. Far from it. Unlike other Katrina films, it gives you an uncanny perspective into the ways the lives of one family were transformed by a natural disaster -- but more by wholesale neglect -- and some troubling racism too -- in the shadow of the National Guard. And then: The National Guard should not be stereotyped as a group of puppies on Michael Brown's leash. Sensible rules tend to go south in the wake of any disaster of this magnitude. That said, TROUBLE THE WATER will satisfy those who never saw Spike Lee's marvelous WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE, although they should see the latter first. It is sad that TROUBLE THE WATER has been hyped to an offensive degree. So sorry, folks. In light of the critical acclaim it's received and of the many fine accounts of the fatalities and obscenities which lay in Katrina's wake, it is a bit of, well, a bore -- though not for the brave families who experienced it and whose lives the film recounts.

(Julius M. Hulsey, 2009-09-18) What film were these critics watching? What I saw was the beginning of a film with video shot by someone who obviously didn't know one end of the camera from the other. Maybe it got better, but I gave up on it because of all the dizzying amateur camera work.

(Constance L. Campbell, 2009-11-04) My DVD came on time. It was in good condition. I would buy from this seller again.

(Ryan D. May, 2009-10-22) I have a view on when to and when not to buy blu-rays. Unless it has action and is a very intense movie with lots of effects and sounds, I just go with the standard DVD. So knowing that this would fall into the category of a blu-ray buy, I bought the trilogy and the new Wolverine. Well Worth it!!! The graphics were fantastic and the audio was perfect. The movies were great as well, but if you're reading this you're already convinced to buy the movies, you're just deciding if it's worth the blu-ray price. I would say if you're watching it on a standard definition (or even a HD) set that is less than 30"-36" then it really doesn't matter all that much. If your going big (I'm on a 63") then definitely go with the blu-ray, no questions. Hope that helps.

(Daniel M. Rappel, 2009-10-21) If you like comic books turned to movies you'll like this. X-Men Orgins Wolverine is the best of the 4 in my opinion, action scenes are better, but the trilogy pack has a better storyline. Wolverine's flashbacks in the Trilogy series isn't exactly like Orgins, but its close enough to work. This is a set where if you are good at picking up on little things, why the people are how they are is explained. There is some comedy thrown in through out also, like when Wolverine complains about there black suits and Cyclops says "would you rather it be yellow spandex?" Not the best movies ever but pretty good.

(S. Poopalasingam, 2009-10-14) Great movies and the HD quality makes them even better! What a deal for the set! Amazon rocks!

(Syrina Villarreal, 2009-10-14) Great Price! The picture great! It was the first time I had ever watched any of the movies. Starting with Wolverine, I watched them all in order, I loved them all! Great buy!

(Acute Observer, 2009-11-09) Perry Mason Season 4 Volume 2 These twelve TV films from 1961 are mostly stories based on the characters created by Erle Stanley Gardner. The books are more complete and informative and tell stories about life that is not experienced by most people. The books can tell you why certain things are done, the films only show you what happened. The books tell you about "ropers", rough or smooth shadows, and how to evade surveillance and avoid leaving a back trail. Some may question the legality and ethics of Perry Mason's tactics but most stories were written before the modern legal rules of the 1960s. The backgrounds tell about life in Los Angeles. It is difficult to film a scene at night but easy to describe it in a book. The seeming reality of these stories is due in part to characters who don't look like Hollywood actors. The theme music is typical for that era. Note the style of clothing and culture; ladies wore white gloves. People seldom lock their doors. The prices date these films. One advantage is seeing the many automobiles from the late 1950s. How many can you identify? Note the slimness of people then, and the familiarity with pistols. Smoking was very common [a tobacco sponsor]. Watch how the actors express their emotions by their facial expressions. The camera sharpness and quality is excellent on these films. There is nothing like these dramatic stories on today's broadcast TV. When was the last time you saw a trial lawyer as a hero? These stories often use the misinterpretation of circumstantial evidence to provide dramatic effects. The courtroom scenes are usually the Preliminary Hearings. A story adapted from a Gardner novel has the year. Wintry Wife; Angry Dead Man Blind Man's Bluff; Barefaced Witness Difficult Detour; Cowardly Lion Torrid Tapestry; Violent Vest Misguided Missile; Duplicate Daughter (1960) Grumbling Grandfather; Guilty Clients

(Bobby Underwood, 2009-09-27) Perry Mason is as much a part of American culture as apple pie and mom. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone of any age who doesn't at least recognize the name. Erle Stanley Gardner's books have millions of devoted fans. The television show it spawned was fabulous as entertainment, and today is widely regarded as one of the best shows television ever produced. Perry was the attorney you wanted on your side in a jam. It was Gardner himself who picked Raymond Burr, even though the studio only agreed to let him test for Perry if he would test for Burger too! Barbara Hale was his pretty secretary, Della Street, who kept Perry human and was in love with him. William Hopper was the dapper detective, Paul Drake. He had a playful and flirtatious relationship with Della but every viewer knew that secretly her heart belonged to Perry. And we liked it that way. William Talman as D.A. Hamilton Burger would almost be ready to gloat, Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins) not far behind, when Perry would spring his client by revealing the real killer on the witness stand. There has never been anything close to it in genre on television since. Its mix of drama, noir, and humor, and its truly likable central cast of characters, made for terrific viewing. Season four was terrific. Releasing them in half seasons, the first half on volume one, the second on volume two now, is indeed an effective but annoying marketing scheme. I agree the price should be lowered, but at the same time agree that as entertainment, this is an incredible value. So, much like gasoline and food, you pay what you have to. Hopefully at some point, Amazon or Paramount will make an effort to still make a profit with a sure-fire hit, while giving fans a better purchase price. Season four episodes, beginning in September of 1960 and ending in June of 1961, are as follows: The Case of the Treacherous Toupee--The Case of the Credulous Quarry--The Case of the Ill-Fated Faker--The Case of the Singular Double--The Case of the Lavender Lipstick--The Case of the Wandering Widow--The Case of the Clumsy Clown-- The Case of the Provocative Protege--The Case of the Nine Dolls--The Case of the Loquacious Liar--The Case of the Red Riding Boots--The Case of the Larcenous Lady--The Case of the Envious Editor--The Case of the Resolute Reformer--The Case of the Fickle Fortune--The Case of the Waylaid Wolf--The Case of the Wintry Wife --The Case of the Angry Dead Man--The Case of the Blind Man's Bluff--The Case of the Barefaced Witness--The Case of the Difficult Detour--The Case of the Cowardly Lion--The Case of the Torrid Tapestry--The Case of the Violent Vest--The Case of the Misguided Missile--The Case of the Duplicate Daughter--The Case of the Grumbling Grandfather--The Case of the Guilty Clients This was one of the best dramas ever to hit the air. Seeing it today reminds us just how good television can be, but is often not. It's a bit of nostalgia and a lot of entertainment for TV fans. Fred Steiner's "Park Avenue Beat" remains one of the most recognizable themes ever heard. A must for fans of Perry Mason.

(C. Curran, 2009-10-29) Let me preface this review by saying I am not an exercise lover. I have never been one of those people that enjoys working out. Yes, I do exercise, because I know it is important for my health, and it is aiding me in my weight loss journey. That being said, I was shocked when I started doing this DVD workout...because I found myself enjoying it! From the start of this workout, Bob motivates you and just when you feel like you might throw in the towel, he somehow convinces you to keep going. I was exhilarated after completing just one week of this Biggest Loser bootcamp and I was inspired to keep it up for the the full 6-week workout program. This workout DVD has three levels and the idea is to spend two weeks working out at each level: Level One is 30 minutes in total, including the 5-minute warm up and cool down segments. Level Two tacks on an additional fifteen minutes to Level One, and Level Three adds 10 minutes to your workout. When you reach the 5th and 6th weeks of the program, your workouts will last 55 minutes. The workouts combine high-intensity weight lifting and muscle toning intervals with brief cardio intervals. Bob provides an intense workout for sure! When I started the bootcamp, my heartrate started to climb within the first three minutes of the warm-up period! And I am always bathed in sweat and breathing heavy by the end of any level of the workout. Also, the strength training exercises really help you build muscle and tone--I was sore and achy from the workouts for the entirety first week (of course, I had not been doing any strength training, so if you are already very fit, you might not feel the burn as much). What I really like about this workout DVD is that you can tailor it to your own fitness level. You can use whatever weight of dumbbells you feel most comfortable or most challenged by; also, there is always at least one contestant who modifies the moves so that beginning exercisers will be able to complete the workout without exhausting themselves. For instance, in one cardio segment, when the contestants are doing jumping jacks, one contestant (Heba from Season 6) is marching in place. This is helpful if you are new to an exercise regimen. Fans of the show (like me!) will like working out with Bob, who pushes you but provides support at the same time. It is also fun to see the contestants from past seasons; even the most fit of them work up quite a sweat! But if you don't watch the show, you'll still be getting in a great workout. I would definitely recommend this workout to anyone looking to increase the intensity of their exercise routine and add elements of strength training and muscle toning exercises. I don't think I would recommend this workout for brand new exercisers, as it really is quite a workout. But for anyone who does the least bit of exercise (I was only engaging in a walking routine for a few weeks before starting this bootcamp DVD), it will definitely give a boost to your exercise regimen. Final Word: And yes, I have lost weight during the course of the 6-week bootcamp; but I am also a Weight Watchers member. So while I can't say for sure that the Biggest Loser Bootcamp will definitely make you lose weight, I think if you are also engaging in healthy eating habits and watching portion sizes, then this DVD can aid you in your weight loss journey!

(Gthang, 2009-10-18) I am really glad that I purchased the Biggest loser boot camp. I started doing the boot camp about twice a week in addition to my daily walks and bike riding, and I've already lost 5 lbs in just 3 weeks! I plan on bumping up my boot camp work-outs to 3-4 times per week and can't wait to see better results!

(Edith, 2009-10-18) We love this video and do it as a family, mom and children ages 12 to 20. Very energizing!

(L. Lawrence, 2009-10-16) I like the building of different levels and the mix of cardio and weights. It makes for a great workout.

(Brittany Rose, 2009-09-17) I've tested out virtually every Biggest Loser dvd out there now (plus one of Jillian Michaels) and I love them all for different reasons. The 2nd and 3rd series of the dvds feature two programs with complementary exercises. In this case, Boot Camp serves as a good muscle-toning workout with a bit of cardio mixed in, as a complement to Weight Loss Yoga for a flexibility / abs workout. The actual Boot Camp workout is pretty satisfying as you feel yourself get strong with every week - and the interval levels feel like they come at exactly the right time. As you move up from level 1 to level 2 you'll feel like you're totally on top of the strength chain, only to be decimated by the intensity of level 2. Same goes for the upgrade to level 3, although it's actually the easiest / most relaxed of the 3 levels. The workout mixes tons of lunges (front, side, back, and held) and squats (including curtsy, pile, and regular) with various upper body and ab workouts. I'd say Boot Camp offers the most diverse range of activities for a real grab bag ranging from jumping jack plank to punches to push-ups. My main issues with the later series of the Biggest Loser dvds is the time commitment involved. I'm a relatively fit person already, so the desire to spend 55 minutes per session (once you get up to level 3) isn't really there for me, especially since level 2 is incredibly draining. Also the personality of the contestants in the background is somewhat diminished as Bob reigns them in to focus on fitness first and foremost, and loses some of his spirit along the way. Still, I generally like this dvd and think after you push yourself through the initial 6-week period, you should feel comfortable with combining various levels on this dvd, or with other dvds for a more well-rounded, less time-consuming workout.

(Ani Krueger, 2009-10-30) I just finished watching this movie and LOVED it! Before watching it, I was wondering if it would yet another "The Secret" knock-off. And while the production had some similarities, the message behind this movie was profound. Not only was the insights given by the speakers poignant, but the imagery was beautiful. As someone who is just in the beginning stages of doing shadow work, this movie was a wonderful introduction. Not only did the Buddha story make me cry, but so did the part where the Holocaust survivor and the woman with Nazi family ties came together. What a true symbolic example of what the duality inside of us all. This movie was extraordinary. Everyone needs to see it.

(M. Avila, 2009-10-25) So disappointing....nothing new or different...a few friends and people who work for her telling sad stories and telling you to forgive. UUmmm we already knew that Debbie....There are so many really good movies and really good techniques out there..Maybe she should have been honest about what she was selling..

(Marrie, 2009-10-21) The Shadow Effect makes you think about why you do/act/react the way you do...this video has taught me that i need to look, embrace and love my shadow. "there is gold to be mined in every experience" .

(Bruce A. Cunningham, 2009-10-16) Dealing with shadow is one of the most difficult things we will ever do, this video allows you to do that with minimal outside judgment, it places the responsibility for change squarely in your own lap. Drags a bit at times, but that may just be a projection of my own shadow. An excellent program well worth watching.

(Jeffrey S. Malone, 2009-10-12) The Shadow Effect is a roller coaster ride disguised as a movie. The is a "E" ticket in the transformational world and takes the most complicated personal growth concepts and conveys them in an understandable real world language and images that everyone can relate too. The stories are so close to home for many and the answers to how to deal with our emotional issues are clear and concise. I was so touched by some of the people who shared their Shadow stories and left the movie feeling like there is a real poosibility we can change the world with this work. Debbie Ford has delivered another homerun in the transformational world and it is a must see for anyone who wants to change their life for the better. The funny thing is that the interactive version of the movie is even better, full of exercises that you do with Debbie.The Shadow Effect, an Interactive Movie ExperienceThe Dark Side of the Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, and DreamsWhy Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst EnemyThe Right Questions: Ten Essential Questions To Guide You To An Extraordinary LifeSpiritual Divorce: Divorce as a Catalyst for an Extraordinary LifeThe 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose

(Jeffrey S. Malone, 2009-10-12) The Shadow Effect is a roller coaster ride disguised as a movie. The is a "E" ticket in the transformational world and takes the most complicated personal growth concepts and conveys them in an understandable real world language and images that everyone can relate too. The stories are so close to home for many and the answers to how to deal with our emotional issues are clear and concise. I was so touched by some of the people who shared their Shadow stories and left the movie feeling like there is a real poosibility we can change the world with this work. Debbie Ford has delivered another homerun in the transformational world and it is a must see for anyone who wants to change their life for the better. The funny thing is that the interactive version of the movie is even better, full of exercises that you do with Debbie.The Shadow Effect, an Interactive Movie ExperienceThe Dark Side of the Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, and DreamsWhy Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst EnemyThe Right Questions: Ten Essential Questions To Guide You To An Extraordinary LifeSpiritual Divorce: Divorce as a Catalyst for an Extraordinary LifeThe 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse: A Breakthrough Program for Connecting with Your Soul's Deepest Purpose

(P. Ramsdell, 2009-10-28) As a collector of Disney animation and classics, I love the Japanese animation films. I believe this is the last of my collection. Very happy with the product. Haven't been disappointed yet and I use amazon and ebay frequently.

(Sean J. Malloy, 2009-09-26) While I usually love Hayao Miyazaki's animes I put off watching Porco Rosso for years...Being from the Cincinnati area, I wasn't feeling up to another flying pig story. Several weeks ago I watched the film and was completely entranced. I loved the pig character. The artwork...superb! Miyazaki must mean 'sure thing' in Japanese...

(Meeshell, 2009-09-05) It's one of my favorite movies! The disc and box came in great condition. I'll be watching it over and over again. :)

(Ana Mardoll, 2009-08-16) Porco Rosso / B0001XAPY2 *Spoilers* I'm a huge fan of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away, so it was just a matter of time before I checked out "Porco Rosso", but I have to say that it was received in a very lukewarm spirit by myself and my viewing companions. The plot follows the lazy, dazy "day in the (unusual) life of" style that characterized Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro - and I'll confess that particular plot style has never been my favorite to start with. I prefer the heavy action- and philosophy-oriented Miyazaki movies to the slow-paced fantasy life ones. Having said that, "Porco Rosso" still lacks the charm of "Totoro" and the heartwarming message of "Kiki", in my opinion. One problem is that this movie can't decide how serious it wants to be. The opening sequence involves a gunfight between Porco Rosso and some pirates who have kidnapped a busload of schoolgirls. The girls giggle and bounce about the airplane, getting in the way of the kidnappers, and stripping down to their underwear in order to 'go swimming' and climb onto Porco Rosso's boat. The overall tone, therefore, is incredibly silly and whimsical, which is why it is jarring when suddenly the movie wants us to start taking it seriously, Casablanca-style. Probably the movie's biggest failing, though, is in the character of Fio. Now, one of the things I like best about Miyazaki's works is his female characters - Nausicaa is incredibly brave and intelligent, Mononoke is strong, Sen ("Spirited Away") is adaptable, and even Kiki was free-spirited and independent. Fio, on the other hand, is a genius at plane building - which is well enough - but she keeps falling all over herself to apologize for being a 'useless girl'. Now, if this was initially a well-posed poke at Porco Rosso for being a chauvinist pig, that would be all well and good, but even as Rosso comes to realize that Fio and her female relatives are just as good or better plane-builders than any man, Fio still keeps spouting off over and over how she's a useless, worthless girl and how sorry she is about that. And the fact that she's half his age, underage (17), and constantly throwing herself at him kind of squicks me out - I watch Miyazaki to get AWAY from the underage-fetish so unfortunately common in a lot of anime. If you liked the lazy pace of "Kiki" and "Totoro" and can look past the unfortunate "girls should apologize for the crime of being a girl" subtext, you might like "Porco Rosso". Then again, you might not - my boyfriend didn't care for the movie not because of the subtext or the pacing, but because it was 'silly' and 'boring'. Largely, I think it will just boil down to a matter of taste, but if you're like me and were looking for another "Nausicaa" or "Mononoke", keep looking because it's not here.

(N. Crabtree, 2009-01-23) Hayao Miyazaki is one of the best filmmakers of our time, and each of his films is special. Lighthearted, with Miyazaki's signature "no bad guy" roster of interesting characters(including a strong young female, another Miyazaki staple), a fun film for anyone of any age.

(Benjamin J Burgraff, 2009-10-12) Loosely based on the wartime experiences of legendary Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, John Maybury's "The Edge of Love" is visually breathtaking, capturing the claustrophobic intensity of London during the Blitz, as opposed to the serenity of Thomas' Welsh seacoast home, with an artist's eye; but as drama, the story tends to drift, particularly during the rather melodramatic 'third act', despite vivid performances by Keira Knightley (who can sing!) and Sienna Miller. Ultimately, the film is an engrossing misfire, worth viewing, but lacking a cohesive core. Thomas (as portrayed by Matthew Rhys), is a moody, brilliant, but childish artist, full of passion, but unable to see beyond his own desires. When his childhood lover, Vera Phillips (Knightley) appears in London to pursue a career as an entertainer, he begins a campaign to bed her, and relive his past...which doesn't sit well with his beautiful, tempestuous wife, Caitlin (Miller). While both Thomases have relaxed mores about infidelity (despite their intense jealousy), Caitlin and Vera soon discover, through their mutual love of Dylan, a bond that turns the situation into a playful, non-sexual ménage-à-trois. When young soldier William Killick (Cillian Murphy) falls for Vera, however, the chemistry changes, as she matures, and learns to accept 'adult' love and responsibility. Killick is posted in war-torn Greece, Vera moves to Wales with the Thomases (and soon has Killick's child), but Dylan's unabated, selfish desire for Vera untimately leads to tragedy for both couples. It is actually a standard formula for drama, and plays out with few surprises. Still, Keightley is luminous, Miller is fiery and sympathetic, and the actresses succeed in keeping your interest, even when the story falters. The Special Features include Commentary, a 'Making Of' featurette, and a very funny gag reel (watch how difficult it is for non-smoking actors to convincingly portray WWII chain-smokers!) If you are a fan of Keira Knightley, I can highly recommend "The Edge of Love"; for all others, it is a mixed blessing!

(K. Payne, 2009-10-01) I love this genre of movies but this film was an absolute disappointment. It was totally shallow. Horrible...

(D. J. Nardi, 2009-09-12) I'm not usually a big fan of romantic love movies, particularly love triangles, but The Edge of Love is worth watching. It's more subtle than most love triangles. All of the characters are fairly likable bohemians. The tension among the couples is real and not overacted. I also like the visual colors in the film a lot. Some of the shots almost look like paintings. On blu-ray, the really colors stand out. Just to note: I'm not really sure what the film has to do with World War II. The war only plays a tangential role in the movie - this is primarily a love story. It's still worth viewing, but I just wouldn't want anybody to think it's primarily a war film.

(C Wahlman, 2009-09-02) The Edge of Love: a bohemian love story. This film is all about love and war, but I think it proves that in real life, friendship conquers all as well. The beautiful cinematography captivated me. The stunning colors and rich, lush images were just beautiful, no matter the setting: the bombings, Vera's apartment, war scenes, or quaint Wales. The acting was well done. Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley are wonderful as the free-spirited, yet troubled women. (Side note: Could you have imagined this film with Lindsey Lohan instead of Miller? Yikes!) Cillian Murphy is romantic and dynamic. I slowly began to loath Matthew Rhys for his convincing portrayal of the enigmatic and truly self absorbed artist Dylan Thomas. My main gripe, the reason I cannot give another star, is because the female relationship here is so diluted. A montage of "fun times together" does not count as substance. I wanted to understand the unusual friendship between these two women, and instead, I felt like this was thrown aside for the suspense of will there be an affair and if so, who will get hurt? There are a handful of scenes, but I still just think the story line lacked friendship. Cillian Murphy stole the show for me, as I think he is the best actor of this bunch, which is unfortunate given his miniscule screen time compared to the other stars. So many details and too many things going on throughout the film made the film difficult to follow; although I thought the ending really wrapped up the story nicely.

(MovieGuy, 2009-07-27) Very well done WWII period piece; more about the relationships and the effects of the war than of Dylan Thomas. Acting is superb and the blu ray is stunning.

(B. MCKERNAN, 2009-11-07) This is excellent! Sound and picture quality are superb. Great scripts, well-directed, with great actors, many of whom went on to achieve stardom in TV and movies in the 1960's and 1970's. Production values on this show were very good for television circa 1959. Only one "complaint": GIVE US MORE! Please release "One Step Beyond: The Official Second Season" ASAP!

(danny, 2009-10-23) ***** ONE STEP BEYOND OFFICIAL FIRST SEASON ******* Please read all the reviews of this CBS/PARAMOUNT release of "one step beyond" and you will see why people are raving about it, I totally agree with them,this set is the definitive collection, I will buy season 2+3 if they release them like this,nobody has better prints than this, NO-O-O-O-O BODY!. ***** I SALUTE CBS/PARAMOUNT FOR DOING IT RIGHT ********

(Daniel M. Lentz, 2009-10-16) The quality is Great, The extra info on the pilot fantastic. I had 16 of the episodes from other collection, but got 6 that I could never find, and the quality is twice as good on all I still can not find 12 episodes of the 94 total shows mad, so HURRY with Season two and three collections, CBS

(Glasseye67, 2009-10-11) This CBS/Paramount made release of "One Step Beyond" Season One is by far the best one yet! The clarity and remastering of the picture is so good you would think they were just recently filmed. The only episode not at 100% is the actually pilot of "The Possessed Bride" which they included with the remastered version. I am still pretty much in awe at what they have done with the original episodes. It is about time! The scary shows I remember the most from my youth are "The Twilight Zone", "The Outer Limits", "The Night Gallery" and finally "One Step Beyond". If you have been through this collection "The Image Of Death" is just the start to some of the more scarier unforgettable episodes of the show. The novelty of the show is that the stories are true supposedly. I do not completely believe in say 50% of the stories but if you like a good eerie ghost story and can put yourself into a mind set to believe the stories are true then this show is for you. The atmosphere that the show creates can never be outdone and leaves the watcher "slightly on edge". The eerie "One Step Beyond" theme created by Harry Lubin is a haunting in itself along with John Newland's narratives. Season One has the least amount of episodes and I am looking forward to Season Two and Three. Though I shouldn't mention it here because it is only season one, the one that left me with a few nightmares was with the little boy who no one would believe had a playmate whose name you may find familar, "Sasquatch". At least I think it was an episode on "One Step Beyond"... Watching the show at my age I still find myself rechecking the nearest shadows in the dark at night for possible creatures that came from a region that is "One Step Beyond".

(D. Guenzel, 2009-10-10) For a number of years I was aware that the original 35mm broadcast prints and negatives of this fine show were stored away in the vaults. It always pained me, because of this show's apparent "public domain" status, that inferior 16mm syndication prints hastily (and usually poorly) transferred to video were all that one could see of this excellent series. CBS/Paramount, despite some colossal blunders as of late in their dvd releases, deserves congratulations on this release. And they haven't tampered with the music, thank heaven. John Newland, host and director, was an extremely talented man. He was not only the suave and incisive host of each of the episodes, but he was an accomplished craftsman behind the camera. His direction of actors, his pacing, his creating solid suspense sequences, his choice of camera angles and locations, his masterful use of limited sets and his exquisite taste placed him in the forefront of tv directors. If nothing else this release will remind people of just how good a director this man was. It is interesting to note in this regard that one of the very best episodes of that other great horror anthology series of the 1960s, THRILLER, hosted by Boris Karloff, was called "Pigeons from Hell" which, without a doubt was one of the creepiest and most suspenseful 60 minutes ever seen on television. That episode was directed by Newland. I cannot recommend this dvd highly enough. Buy it and then cozy up on your favorite couch with your wife, turn the lights down low, and - as the kids say today - get "creeped out". A terrific series, and a terrific dvd, taken from pristine 35mm film elements.

(Byron A. Miller, 2009-10-18) I first saw an episode on HULU and was hooked, had to have the complete season(s) and went to Amazon to search and ordered seasons 1 - 2. I could not be happier with the program, love the characters, just enough action without being too graphic and great backgrounds being shot in Florida. Hoping there is a season 3 and if that happens I will order it too.

(IN2FORN6, 2009-10-15) I was very happy with the purchase and will look for the third season when it is available.

(Zonette; The Booker, 2009-10-08) Burn notice is such torture, I like to wait til it comes out(season on DVD) and I can watch them all in a couple days in a row. This goes for Supernatural as well.

(C. Jordan, 2009-10-07) Burn Notice is smart, funny, excellent cast and killer location make this one of the best in my collection. Can't wait for season 3, I'll be first in line to buy it. One of the BEST shows around!!!!

(J. Nixon, 2009-10-05) This is one of the better series that deals with heros who help out people who are in a tough spot. The writing is clever and the plots have enough depth to sustain the show for forty four minutes. I like the supporting cast more than the lead, and find the sub plot of who "burned" the lead character as less interesting than the weekly adventure.

(Kody, 2009-11-05) Seriously, these Jonas Brothers are overrated. They have absolutely no talent whatsoever. When they attempt to sing, they don't. They squeal like chipmunks. I cant stand that. Its garbage.

(M. F. Correa, 2009-10-27) i can not write one becasue is send it to my cousin i've never seen the video, but my cousin says that its good and she watches it everyday

(Dani, 2009-10-11) YOU ARE GONNA LOV IT! FIRST ITS BLU-RAY, THEN IS A DVD COMBO AND IT HAS DIGITAL COPY! CAN YOU ASK FOR MORE?...OH YEAHH,,YOU WILL SEE THIS HOT BROTHERS WHEN EVER YOU WANT

(HD Buff, 2009-09-30) Great value and lots of fun to watch. Disney production is flawless and contains so many extras. I have actually watched the 3D and the 2D versions in Blu Ray many times. While the original songs are aimed at teenage girls, I found them pleasant old fashioned rock. Also enjoyed the Taylor Swift and Demi Levato numbers. This DVD allows one to experience what goes into a tour production and also gives many insights into the personalities and talents of the brothers if you are not already familiar. There is a lot of hugging with each other and with others which may turn off some who are just too cool - but I found the brothers a wonderful mix of teen spirit firmly rooted in decent homespun values and ethics which permeate everything they do. It is difficult to choose a favorite - they are each so different and talented. I always love the clown though - Joe. I love this DVD.

(Michael K. Hills, 2009-09-13) The purchase came well withiin the time given and in great condition. Thank you so very much My Daughter is in love with them all, as are all the other tweens.LOL. Thanks again

(B. Belmonte, 2009-08-25) So yeah this event was so-so but at least the DVD's are back to the way they were. I won't post the fights cos other reviews already have them. ALL fights are on one DVD while the other has the Countdown show, Backstage bonus, and the weigh-in show. Plus it has all the intro's to the fights and all the Rogan interviews post fights. Keep em coming like this and I'll be fine. Pre and post press conference would be nice too. Enjoy.

(fmwaalex, 2009-08-21) UFC 98 I could not wait to see Serra crush Hughes and when this event was announced I was extremely excited. 1.DAVE KAPLAN VS GEORGE ROOP-we start out with a nice first round as both guys are looking to find their range. Both throw some good strikes and Roop even reopens a cut on his opponent's nose. The second round looked a lot like the first with a couple of take downs, decent round. The third round is the best with some take downs and some nice strikes, it looks close to a draw but Roop takes the split decesion.4/5 2.YOSHIYUKI YOSHIDA VS BRANDON WOLFF-this is a very good fight that only last a few minutes into the first. Wolff gets caught in a tight guillotine and taps out, twice. The ref did not see the first tap out, Yoshida takes it.5/5 3.KRZYSZTOF SOSZYNSKI VS ANDRE GUSMAO-great fight once again that does not make it out of the first, both guys trade in this one. But it is Krzysztof who takes the win knocking out Andre.5/5 4.PHILLIPE NOVER VS KYLE BRADLEY-this one is kinda full of controversy as Kyle knocks out Nover, and yes he did. The ref jumps in after Nover goes limp but Nover regains his senses really quick so it looks like a bad stoppage. But we you see the replay thee is no doubt that he was out if only for a second, good stop ref, it protects the fighters.5/5 5.PAT BARRY VS TIM HAGUE-once again we are witness to a first round stoppage between these two fighters. Tim looked like he was going to loose this one as he was rocked early, but he came threw and locked in a nice guillotine choke.5/5 6.BROCK LARSON VS MIKE PYLE-this one is a very well paced and exciting fight with both trying to pull off submissions and scrambling. But Larson eventually pulls of an arm triangle and it was very tight. Great fight that ends in the first round.5/5 7.SEAN SHERK VS FRANK EDGAR-I could not believe this fight when I was watching it live, Sherk's game plan just blew me away. I never doubt Edgar but I was completely surprised that Sean did not really try to utilize his strongest point, his wrestling more. He wanted to show off his hands more and he would end up losing because of it. The first round was good with Edgar looking a little better, but Sherk does his thing. The second round is just as good with Edgar looking even better then in the first, picking Sean apart. The last round just sees Edgar dominate Sherk and takes a unanimous decision win.5/5 8.CHAEL SONNEN VS DAN MILLER-excellent first round with a great showing from both fighters but the story in round one was ground and pound. The second round is just like the first with some good ground and pound. The third round looks just like the first 2 with Sonnen dominates Dan and takes the win.4.5/5 9.DREW MCFEDRIES VS XAVIER FOUPA-POKAM-quickest fight of the night right here with Drew laying out Xavier, 37 seconds. This is one quick and exciting fight, especially for the casual fan.5/5 10.MATT SERRA VS MATT HUGHES-if there was ever I fight I wanted to see happen it was definitely this one. I am the biggest Matt Serra fan in fact him and BJ Penn are my favorites ever. I have never ever been a Hughes fan and I agree with every thing Serra has said about him. If you go back and watch Hughes during the show Ultimate Fighter seasons 2, 4, and 6 you will agree. What he does and says about a guy that was one of his own fighters on season two is despicable, Hughes is what Serra says he is. Serra brings it to Hughes in the first round winning with the stand up and even when Hughes takes him down and gets his back Serra gets right back up. He clearly takes the first round as the judges agree with me. The second round is just plain bull as Hughes takes him down and lays on him for the whole round, only throwing a strike when the ref says something. A totally weak round as Hughes literally just lays on him for most of the round. In the third round Hughes gets the take down early but Hughes just wants to lay on him. This time from the bottom Serra goes for umaplatas and triangles showing he is the aggressor even from the bottom. Then when they get stood back up Serra continues to win with the strikes and then takes Hughes down with a nice slam and ground and pounds him, Hughes even cheats and grabs the fence [illegal] to help improve his position. Then Serra goes for the kimura when the round ends but after the fight Hughes raises Serra's hand and even Joe says he should not have shown the judges, Hughes knew he lost. I can not believe the judges gave this fight to Hughes because Serra clearly won this fight hands down 2 rounds to 1. I can not wait for the rematch, Serra will end him before the fight ends. I will give this fight five out of five because Serra won this fight, SERAA REALLY WON.5/5 11.[LIGHTHEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP]RASHAD EVANS VS LYOTO MACHIDA-the main event of the night would see two undefeated fighters go at it for the title with this being Evans first title defense. The first round is really all about feeling each other out but Lyoto lands some nice kicks and even knocks Rashad down at the end of the round. The second round is great with Lyoto controlling the round landing all kinds of strikes and eventually knocks Evans out. A new champion is crowned and now he has to look forward to the great Shogun for his first title defense.5/5 this was a pretty good night of fights with SERRA BEATING HUGHES, I could care less what any body says go back and watch it with out picking favorites and you will see Serra won.

(Hmong Smith, 2009-08-01) If you want to own a piece of UFC history then buy this DVD. While it's probably going to suck (in terms of extras and other reasons for owning this DVD), it is worth the price of purchase to own Machida vs. Rashad Evans. UFC DVD's are notorious for shortchanging those who want to re-experience watching the Pay-Per-Views--as that is NOT what you get on the DVD's. What you get instead is a chopped up version of the event (sans fighter entrances and introductions). Even the fights that have the entrances (usually the main events and now and again the co-main event--though this was NOT the case on the UFC 94 DVD) all you get is some crappy music played over the actual songs that were played during the live events. Cheap UFC owners... If you are a Machida fan and are hoping for some more insight, perhaps some behind-the-scenes video of him... if this is anything like the UFC 94 DVD, then you will get absolutely NOTHING! What a way to treat the champion of your marquee division. So, if you already have the Machida vs. Evans fight (if you ordered the Pay-Per-View and DVR'ed it) then you don't need this stinking DVD. Good event, but UFC usually puts out crappy DVD's. You've been warned!

(Robert Stuff, 2009-07-22) Ufc 98 was a good event , it wasnt really a stacked card , but , we got to see Rashad Defend his belt for the first time against the Dangerous Karate Master Lyoto Machida, everyone was wondering if rashad could adapt to machida's style and finally give him a loss. Also we finally see a matchup years in the making , Matt Hughes Vs. Matt Serra - Finally these 2 go at it , lots of talking took place before the match and it was really hyped up.

(R. R. Morris, 2009-09-20) This is a kiddy show going bad. Better off watching Bill Nye the Sciencs Guy, or "Standard Deviants". Anything truly worthwhile can be learned in less than 3 minutes of the show. I regret buying this season. No way for the third season.

(J. Salzenstein, 2009-09-18) The History Channel knows science, and they're good at making complex systems and ideas easy to understand - and approachable - for the everyday observer. The Universe, Complete Season Two on Blu-ray is no exception. This four-disc set features all 18 episodes, nearly 15 hours of content, including covering topics like Dark Matter, Exoplanets, Cosmic Collisions, Supernovas, and more. And while episodes are only loosely tied together by the fact that the subjects covered are part of - or take place in - our universe, it doesn't seem overly odd or disjointed- especially for the younger viewers. Fantastic phenomena and alien worlds are re-created through extremely realistic computer animation, which is shockingly detailed and stunningly beautiful. The visuals take viewers inside wonders that man has only viewed from afar, giving a close-up look at the fascinating inner workings of the cosmos around us. The series also includes documentary style interviews with experts in the field, as well as footage from both past and current scientific exploration programs and an introduction to some of the tools and devices these scientists use to explore the universe. A nice contrast to the computer re-creations, this live-action documentary aspect of the series does a good job of providing balance, grounding the concepts and reminding viewers that there are actual people working to find answers and discover new information about the space around us- it's not simply Star Trek. Whether used as an educational tool or simply for entertainment value, The Universe - Season Two on Blu-ray is interesting and enthralling. Special Features There aren't a lot of "extras" on The Universe, but given the nature of the series - and the fact that it is a television series - that's not surprising. There is one Bonus Feature, a featurette called Backyard Astronomers, which explores the world of amateur star-gazers- men and women who spend their spare time learning about - and exploring - the universe... from their backyards. The biggest benefit to the Blu-ray release lies in the presentation - true widescreen and HD. And of course the subject matter itself.

(Gabriela Veronez Chaytor, 2009-09-03) Another hit in my eyes. I love all things space and sci-fi and even though some things in here might be wrong or unproven, it is very entertaining and you will learn something from every episode.

(Michael Barsella, 2009-07-29) Consisted largely of several re-hashed scenes from other shows and Season 1. If Season 1 were 4.5/5.0, Season 2 is 2.5/5.0. I have higher hopes for Season 3.

(Alexander M. Walker, 2009-07-16) The History Channel has an unfortunate though deserved reputation for showing way too many specials on World War II. If it involves Nazis, Stalin or the Luftwaffe you better believe the History Channel has picked it apart from every possible angle - which is why their programming that strays from those subjects comes like a breath of fresh air. The Universe, a show covering various galactic anomalies and phenomena, uses 3D composite models and animations to provide a visual context for lessons from leaders in the field of astronomy and astrophysics. The show's scope knows no bounds, so strap in for brilliant educational ride. Assuming you believe the universe, as we know it, is older than 4,000-6,000 years old, there's so much about the great beyond that bears explaining. The show explores a commonly held belief one week while shedding light on cosmic occurrences you never knew existed (but will find enrapturing) the next. Each of the 18 episodes tackles a different topic; from "Alien Planets" to the harrowing prospects of "Cosmic Apocalypse" the show's ability to hold your attention never fails. To think that the discovery of a new earth is close to a reality should intrigue even the most diehard skeptics, especially in this field which seems to generate more questions than answers. Or maybe you're more interested in the future of space travel or colonization? Black holes? Or, my personal favorite title "Biggest Things in Space"? Come on, if you aren't slightly interested in the biggest things in that final frontier then you just can't be pleased. The History Channel has a really great thing going with this series and the second season keeps the pace with a nice supply of educational installments. The one misstep of The Universe would seem to be some of the less than convincing "authorities" brought in on the subject. While each and every one of them may have a brilliant mind, hearing the opinion of what appears to be a college astronomy major sitting on some large rocks doesn't exactly fill the audience with confidence that every piece of information is to be taken at its word. The show has plenty of interesting things to say, but they really ought to have found slightly more credible sources (or at least had the sources they used appear professional) to put any contrarian arguments to rest. It's not a total failure on the show's part, but with so many astronomy experts out there it seems unnecessary to settle - even if they were just trying to inject a little bit of youth into the proceedings; the injection isn't necessary though. To think that an audience would take slight at a show exploring some of the deepest darkest secrets of our universe for not featuring a variety of ages amongst the experts just seems ridiculous. Just like any piece on World War II, the better is the most informed - age be damned. On Blu-ray the 3D models achieve mixed appearances. In some instances the graphics look phenomenal and elevate the show to its proper scale. Other times, the renderings just don't quite meet the 1080p demands and a bit of pixilation becomes visible. Unlike a special effects slathered feature, this shortcoming isn't as damaging in a series of lectures on space; sure we notice, but the images are complementary to the words, not vice versa. Instead of being upset with the show for sometimes failing graphically, it's easier to marvel at the visual aids provided for such riveting material. As you might expect, the audio isn't really a factor that varies from episode to episode. The speech tracks are all equalized and crystal clear so you won't have to fidget with your remote. Blu-ray Extra Features: A singular featurette casts a spotlight on the grass root community of the astronomy field: "Backyard Astronomers". You might not be so moved as to go out and buy a telescope for your home, but the featurette is as interesting and compelling as the rest of the season and well worth your time.

(J. Ferrantelli, 2009-09-19) Hi to all fans of Peter Paul And Mary: I have loved this DVD since it came out in 2004 a great legacey of the trios 40 now 50 years together. I have been a true fan since I was 8 years old, I am now 24 years old and will soon be 25 this year. I have some very sad news: MARY TRAVERS of PP&M died on Sept: 16th- Wedesday evening at 7:30 pm of cancer and complications from one of the treatments from KEMO THARAPY. She was 72 years old. This DVD will bring back a lot of memories for a lot of people. I was born in the 1980's generation but have learned a lot about them from watching this DVD so many times.I am hoping that now Warner Brothers and Rhino records will release the 4 original PBS specials onto DVD. The 25th Aniversery concert in 1986 covers all of there greatest hits Puff The Magic Dragon, Blowin In The Wind, If I Had A Hammer, Where Have All The FLowers Gone, This Land Is Your Land Like The First Time, Greenwood, Light One Candle and other songs. The music will always be remembered now that PP&M are DONE!! Marys life is celebrated through watching this DVD. A bid farwell to PP&M performing and to Mary as well. MARY ALLEN TRAVERS 1936-2009 . Hope you folks enjoy this DVD is much as I did and still do even today for years and years to come.

(Paul Rocha, 2008-11-24) had already seen video so i knew what to expect. DVD had no glitches or scratches so it operated smoothly. don't know what else to tell you.

(Jeanette Tillotson, 2008-08-29) This CD is the very best story of Peter Paul and Mary's history and philosophy. It captures the highlights through the years, with stories behind the songs and events. I plan on sharing it with my grandchildren as a way to understand how special and amazing PP&M were and ARE.

(Jane Gordon, 2007-10-05) Wonderful DVD. I learned much about a great group! Enjoyed the songs slected for the DVD as well as the scenes they selected.

(D. Johnson, 2007-04-06) Peter Paul & Mary have always been great. This shows how much so. They have always been at the forefront of social justice. This is like a musical history lesson!

(Lynne Falconer, 2009-10-25) This movie will need more than one viewing to grasp and follow the storyline, catch the dialog and the meaning behind the very few and far between spoken lines. And this is not a movie for every movie fan, or even for fans of Colin Farrell. That said, once again I am intrigued and impressed by how good Colin Farrell is at what he does - acting/performing. As I said in a previous review of another movie, he has, for me, a truly beautiful voice and that makes listening to the narration (or poetry reading as another reviewer called it) which covers most of the movie, easy. His Irish accent, which is more prominent in this movie than some of the others I've watched, had me rewind scenes a couple of times. Having lived in America for the last eleven years, my ears are no longer as good or quick with translating Irish and Scottish accents into understandable English, so I will re-watch this movie a couple of times to get back into that translation groove. The facial expression and actions of the characters throughout must be watched as that forms the basis of most of the storyline. Here both Colin Farrell, and the newly introduced actress, Q'orianka Kilcher, played excellently. This applies to most all the other actors in them movie. Christian Bale is still a gorgeous guy, and good actor, fitting well into the role of the English gentleman. It is a slow movie, granted, and there were times when I wished some of the scenery shots were cut, such as the first tour up the river, but when you think about it, it is during those that a lot of story is spoken/told. All in all I enjoyed the movie, but recommend it only to those who can sit quietly for about two and a half hours and enjoy walking through a historic tale, told slowly, and brought to life on the big screen with a lot of scenery shots, skimpy in the way of character dialog - long stretches of no dialog or narration, a story told through body language and emotion, with gestures and expressions taking the place of dialog. It is a good quality movie, with good performances by the actors, but definitely not for everyone.

(Amir Alturkistani, 2009-10-23) I got the extended cut blue ray edition and other than how good nature looked and sounded on my tv, the whole movie truly put me to sleep every time I started to watch a part of it. It took me two weeks to finish the movie that how boring it was. No wonder it was an absolute failure in the box office, and collin ferral sucked just as much as the movie.

(Corey J. Lyons, 2009-10-14) First, this Blu-Ray version is a beautiful transfer, visually. It's stunning to look at. Malick is such a visual storyteller ("Thin Red Line") that you can sustain this movie on the images alone. He's not a great traditional storyteller, so the movie will drag for many people. Plus, Colin Farrell simply lacts the emotional depth, and range, to carry a film on his own -- especially one in which he's supposed to show leadership as Capt. John Smith. Still, the movie is an experience to enjoy. I was slightly disappointed by the sound (not enough rear speaker action), but the sound was very well balanced.

(Avatar, 2009-09-27) My sister and I watched this movie the other night on Comcast On Demand, and if we had anything else better to do we would have quit after the first half hour but we forced ourselves to watch the entire movie. First off, the dialog of both the characters and even more so, the narrating was mostly unintelligible. Nearly everything was said in such hushed whispers mixed with accents and mumbling, that we had to turn up the volume and play some scenes over to try to understand what was said to no avail. Three little kids that were in a couple scenes were babbling so badly we could not understand even one word and wondered if they were even speaking english, we still are not sure. Still unable to understand what was being said after watching some scenes over and over, we eventually gave up and just tryed to follow what was going on visually ignoring the incoherent speach. Even though it was supposed to be in english, subtitles would have been very helpful. Unlike most people I love long movies, when I watch the Lord of the Rings movies, I watch the extended editions and I know of no other movies that are longer, however this movie was a very boring movie, with long periods with nothing happening. Even if this had been a 90 minute movie it would have been boring, there just was not that many things happening. On the possitive side the cinematography was great, so I give it one star for that. Will never waste my time watching this one again.

(N. W. Clayton, 2009-09-18) I purchased the high-definition extended cut of "The New World" on Blu-Ray disc. Others have probably described this film as visual poetry. I'd describe it as audio-visual poetry. The soundtrack meshes perfectly with the cinematography, and the quality of both is first-rate. People will either "get" this film or they won't. If you're not awestruck by the opening sequence, set to the Prelude of Das Rheingold, then perhaps you won't enjoy the remainder of the film. Incidentally, if you have a big-screen 1080p television and a good audio system, I recommend upgrading to a Blu-Ray player if you haven't already. The sound and picture quality of a well-mastered Blu-Ray disc (and most of them are well-mastered nowadays) are phenomenal. And the color space is larger than it is with DVD, which means that the on-screen reproduction of color is noticeably more true-to-life than is the case for DVD.

(J. Ortega, 2009-11-02) Wonderful "gay film" shows all the probles that gay people just to have years ago, knowing this kind of things don't happen (very often) today.

(S. Grose, 2009-10-04) Great Movie !!! Matthew B. Pays a great role . And performs excellent , this is back when playing a Gay Man got rumors that you could be gay. Thanks to Matthew B , this is the beginning of straight actors playing gay men and doing a great job.

(J. AGUILAR, 2009-09-28) It's somewhat ridiculous to think that the best movie to touch upon subjects and issues important today in the gay civil rights struggle was made over 20 years ago...but it's true. In 'Torch Song Trilogy', Harvey Fierstein had the courage to not only tackle issues like homophobia and gay bashing, gay adoption and gay marriage but to tackle them through the eyes of a drag queen. I do not say that because I think drag queens should not be part of our movement but because there are people who feel they should be relegated to the background. It would have been easier for Mr. Fierstein then, and even now, to portray the character of Arnold as a "normal" guy (i.e. not in drag, and not flamboyant). Mr. Fierstein's excellent writing and great performance, however, handled each of these subjects so well and gave his character so much pride and dignity and compassion that it would be hard for even the staunchest of gay conservatives to deny him and his movie a place at the top of gay-themed movies and performances. 'Torch Song Trilogy' was and still is ahead of its time...and I feel it has yet to be honored for the brilliant film that it is. The fact that this film from 1988 can still speak to us, especially today with the struggle for the recognition and respect of gay families, is reason enough to applaud the work of Mr. Fierstein. It's been well over a decade since I first watched this film as a teenager and I remember thinking afterwards how no movie can ever touch on so much in such a great way ever again. Now, having reached my 30's, I still have that same thought. Thank you Mr. Fierstein!

(Wolfgang Dacke, 2009-05-02) I had Torch Song Trilogy 1997 and gave a friend this film. Often I had thought on one. Now, I am happy. I like...it is very nice. Harvey Fierstein could plays more such roles. Maybe...

(Terry Richard, 2009-04-13) I love "Torch Song Trilogy". Based on the stage play of the same name and written by Harvey Fierstein, this was one of the first films to honestly portray homosexuals in a positive and honest light. Harvery plays Arnold, a drag queen, who meets a young, beautiful man, played to perfection by Matthew Broderick, and they eventually fall in love and "adopt" a young man. The jist of the story is between Arnold and his Jewish/Catholic mother, who doesn't approve of her son's homosexual lifestyle. The scenes between Harvey and Anne Bancroft, who plays his mother, are written to perfection, as these scenes are honest in their portrayal of a mother who wants her son to be straight and have a nice home, wife, and children, yet when the mother realizes this will never be, strong, confrontational encounters between mother and son erupt. Everything about the movie from the other characters and scenes are excellent, but its the chemistry between Bancroft and Fierstein that makes the movie work. I first saw this movie while in college, and have waited years for its release on DVD, and it's finally here. We all should watch this movie, not just for sheer enjoyment, but for good, educational reasons as we discover all families have issues, and families with gay sons are no different. The message here is that gay people cannot change. The problem isn't with the person who's gay, but with the parent who doesn't accept their child's homosexuality. There is also a fantastic commentary from Harvey on the making of the film, and the movie is in widescreen format, and is digitally remastered from the original studio print. I wish more films like this would be made today.

(Richard Bellinger, 2009-10-31) This disc is not user friendly nor does it explain what each test pattern is properly used for. They just throw the test patterns and expect average users to know what each pattern is supposed to do. You are going to need a meter, if you are going to take some advantages of the test patterns provided. The basic contrast or black level,or even seeing all "red" , "blue" or "green" by using the filter provided don't help either. I recommend AVCHD from SpectraCal. Its free download that you can burn on a DVD - R, and can be use only on a Blu-Ray player. Other options to download for HD-DVD or other compatible players as well. Save your money and spend it on something else.

(Freddie Eaves, 2009-10-27) Had trouble with the individual screens for fine tune adjustments. You may have better luck..

(Per-olav Johansen, 2009-10-19) This product was imported into Europe. It is a Region 1 disk and it will not play on players requiring Region 2. Disappointed that Amazon did not advice of this, it must have been obvious to them.

(Dana Hartman, 2009-10-07) Takes a lot of going back and forth to watch then try to recall all of what they are telling you. Seems it could be a lot simpler.

(Mavjay, 2009-09-26) This product is wholly unnecessary if you've got a half-decent television. Most televisions have settings that are 85% accurate to begin with. Only worthwhile if you want to know at much as your TV calibration expert.

(M. S. Gonzalez, 2009-10-01) I wish the behind the scenes focused on Rich and Wandy rather then Marcus Davis and Dan Hardy, but other than that great for any UFC fan. Good stuff.

(B. Belmonte, 2009-09-09) So I just got UFC99 and was gonna post without opening first but thankfully watched before I post this. So I thought the UFC was back on track with the way they were producing their DVD's so thats why I was gonna post before watching but nope. Prelim's are back on disc 2 along with weigh-ins and the CountDown show. They took out all Rogan interviews on the prelims but left only a few of the opening montage fighter's video before the fight. Now disc one has all the open montage video's along with all of Rogan's post fight interviews. I won't post the fights since most of you have seen this event and/or fans and know who is on the card. This is a really exciting card and if you can deal with the prelims on the other disc than it's worth buying.

(Mike K, 2009-11-01) This is a set of 11 Best Picture winning movies from Columbia Pictures spanning the years from 1934 to 1982. Right off the bat you know you're are at least getting very good movies, if not great, because they all won the Best Picture Award from The Academy Awards - not Golden Globes or any other inferior type award organization. As for for the movies I think they are all great. Lawrence of Arabia and Gandhi and arguably two of the best movies ever made. Someone said that Kramer Vs Kramer is a "rotten tomato" in the bunch of 11 movie in the set. I completely disagree. You can't compare Kramer vs Kramer with Gandhi or some of the other films in the set. That's not fair. Kramer vs Kramer is an excellent film - should it have won Best Picture? I don't no - maybe not. But it's still a terrific film As for the price? Well it's an excellent value. If you bought all these films separately you would be spending at least $130 if not more. I definitely recommend this collection.

(Martin T. Wegner, 2009-10-19) I found this to be an outstanding collection of exceptional films. I am not going to go through each one individually but let me just state that you cannot go wrong watching any of these 11 films. They are all award winners for a reason and when you are watching them you cannot help but notice/see/feel/hear/sense their quality. And the fact that they run the full gamut, in both terms of release years and genres, means that you will always find something in this collection to watch. I am a big fan of boxed sets and this one really should be on the shelf of anyone who calls them self a fan of Hollywood studio movies. In fact I hope the other studios (or the companies that now own the catalogs of the once great movie studios of days past) would follow this example and release similar sets.

(Kevin M. Mcclune, 2009-10-19) I bought this movie collection as a gift for my wife. It's an eclectic collection of classic movies, spanning almost 50 years of movie making from 1934 to 1982. There's something for every movie lover in this collection.

(TGav, 2009-09-19) It's 30 years and I still hold a grudge against that wannabe flick- "Kramer vs. Kramer", included in this collection. Released the same year ('79) as "Apocalypse Now", KvsK swept the Oscars in all major categories. Sure, Coppola's effort had its flaws, but even so, despite all the lavish eccentricities , it lost only by skulduggery. "Breaking Away" , "All That Jazz", even "Being There", all had more merit for the top honor in 1979 than the obnoxious Kramers. The snub of "Apocalypse Now" as well as the other fine films released that year is just another example in a long list of H'Wood inside fixes (see "Raging Bull" [and anything else by Scorsese] , "Once Upon A Time In America", eg). The inclusion of this one rotten tomato in the collection knocks off 2.5 stars for me.

(Samantha Jones, 2009-02-04) I enjoyed this collection a great deal. It's nice to have a wide range of films, including my favorites Lawrence of Arabia and Ghandi. I think this is a good collection for those who like classic movies. My one complaint is that on the Lawrence of Arabia disc the movie cuts off suddenly when Lawrence and his attendants are crossing the Sinai and then when you put the next disc in about ten minutes later the Intermission starts. I don't see why the first disc couldn't go up to the Intermission? Still the product deserves five stars.

(Nilda M. Vega, 2009-10-27) I love Fred Astaire; to me he was the best dancer during the musical era. This is a movie to relax and enjoy. We all know that MJ also enjoyed Fred's dancing as well and picked up some steps from him. If you want a movie that's not gonna have you on the edge this is it. Clean and funny and just plain enjoyable.

(William Dakota, 2009-09-21) I have been waiting for this title to hit DVD. Fred Astaire, Red Skelton, Vera Ellen and Debbie. Who could ask for anything more? It is a story about two song writers, whose names are easily forgotten. But, you will remember some of the songs, if you remember the '50's and '60's-smile! They just don't make musicals like this anymore. Good transfer, color and sound. Limited release so you had better get it before it is too late. The extras feature a Carlton Carpenter interview who sings in another film with Debbie. TWO WEEKS WITH LOVE.

(Classic Debut, 2009-08-26) I love Fread Astaire movies and this one is a gem. Costarring acomplished dancer,Vera Ellen, funnyman Red Skeleton, and Arlene Dahl. This is a wonderful musical biopic of real-life song writers Ruby and Kalmar (who were friends with Fred Astaire.) Debbie Reynolds appears in her first role,and the Real Harry Ruby makes a small cameo as a baseball player ("Take it easy, Ruby").

(N. Watson, 2009-04-11) And Keenan Wynn, too :) This is a GREAT little movie...one of my personal favorites because I love the child-like charm of Red Skelton in it, and think Vera Ellen is Fred Astaire's best-matched dance partner (with Rita Heyworth second, Elenore Powell third, and then Ginger...even Leslie Caron in Daddy Long Legs - another huge favorite... they all beat Ginger). The three stars are in absolute top form - relaxed and enjoying themselves - with the best of music and a charming story and script. It's a quality piece of work. The dance to "Thinking of You" is one of the most graceful pairings ever. Most dancer-focused musicals seem to be a bit choppy and drag in places, but his one keeps you entertained the whole time. As Red likes to say (in Ziegfield Follies), it's "SMOOOOTH!". Part of what holds your interest is that it's basically historical, and about real entertainment people and their careers. It's a movie that leaves you with happy remembrances of the tunes and the characters and the dance numbers. Enjoy this!

(V. wilson, 2009-03-01) My love is Musical Movies..."Three Little Words" is an amasing Musical...you got Fred Astaire and Red Skelton in one movie is ultimate..I recommend this movie to any other Musical Movie attics...
