DVD: Helena Bonham Carter ...     DVD:       Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Widescreen Edition)484 reviews Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore Warner Bros. Pictures, 2005 CHOCOLATELY DELICIOUS & DELIGHTFUL! I really tried hard not to like this movie, believing it to be for the kiddies, but it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. Gene Wilder's "Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" was tongue-in-cheek delightful in 1971 and, here, Tim Burton creates another masterful rendition - without LSD!! Young Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket is a refreshingly unpretentious child, with a wide-eyed ...             Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street327 reviews Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp Dreamworks Video, 2008 Haunting and hilarious Caveat Emptor: If you are looking for a jazzy, upbeat musical, if you're looking for Gene Kelly to tap dance across the screen, if you're looking for lines of chorus girls in sparkly outfits or a plucky, cock-eyed optimist to belt out her troubles, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a bloody gorefest with a mad killer stalking his victims through shadowy streets, look elsewhere. If musicals ...             Fight Club (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)1374 reviews Edward Norton, Brad Pitt 20th Century Fox, 2000 More than just a movie There's a lot that can be said of Fight Club, first that it is not a movie for people who are perfectly content with society, or who frequently shop at IKEA or love their Starbucks. Fight Club is one of the few movies I've ever viewed that basically takes a look at our society, and tells you not only what is wrong and missing, but how to fix it. It's dark in a way that would make humanists ...             Hamlet192 reviews Mel Gibson, Glenn Close Warner Home Video, 2004 Mel Gibson's Hamlet This is Hamlet the movie, not a filmed version of the stage play. Having said that , it is very well done. Mel Gibson's early Shakespearean training (yes, he was a Shakespearean actor before he ever was Mad Max, who let's face it was fairly Shakespearean in concept) shows clearly in this rendition of the ever popular tragedy. I thought it was terrific and am tired of uninformed prejudgemental ...             Big Fish451 reviews Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney Sony Pictures, 2004 great movie, pointless BROWN COVER version This review is about the version with the brown cover with a leafless tree behind the black letters BIG FISH. It contains two things: the exact same movie you get for a dollar more than half the price of this version and a hardbound booklet. The booklet contains thirteen pages with one or two sentences on it, and ten pages with a drawing or picture. That's it. If you think such a booklet is worth ...             Fight Club (Widescreen Edition)1374 reviews Edward Norton, Brad Pitt 20th Century Fox, 2002 More than just a movie There's a lot that can be said of Fight Club, first that it is not a movie for people who are perfectly content with society, or who frequently shop at IKEA or love their Starbucks.

Though I have not read all of the reviews here, I have not found one that really makes it clear what an artistic achievement this film really is.

Soy gran fanática de la serie y me atrevería a decir que Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix es mi favorita hasta ahora. En Blu ray? por supuesto! la imágen y el sonido es excelente, incluye escenas editadas, como se hizo la película, análisis de la historia y muchos extras mas. La recomiendo 100%!             Sweeney Todd [Blu-ray]4 reviews Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp Dreamworks Video, 2008 The years have changed him Murder. Cannibalism. Death. Obsession. Revenge. Blood. Goth makeup. And lots of razors -- "at last, my arm is complete again!" Sweeney Todd exults. Somehow it doesn't come as a shock to me that Tim Burton adapted Stephen Sondheim's musical "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" -- or that he somehow spun it into something so delicious. That dark, grotesque, hilariously melodramatic ...             Twelfth Night128 reviews Imogen Stubbs, Steven Mackintosh Image Entertainment, 2005 Toby Stephens fan I have recently discovered the talent of Toby Stephens after seeing Jane Eyre. I wanted to see some of his early work and discovered this Shakespeare comedy. This was a very entertaining movie not to mention the other cast members of Ben Kingsley, Helena Bonham Carter, and Imogen Stubbs. I highly recommend this movie for it's comedy, music and yes a little drama too. I loved it.             Planet of the Apes - The Ultimate DVD Collection33 reviews Estella Warren, Ralph Winter 20th Century Fox, 2006 The Bust itself makes everything worth while!!! The ultimate collection doesn't lie when you get mostly everything... Seriously, apes apes and more apes... and I couldn't be happier! The ape bust is great for staring down employees around the desk for intimidation. It has stopped workers in their walking paths everyday. It's the glare of a determined ape which no man can escape. I'm glad i made this purchase and have filled the ape void I ...             Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD]624 reviews Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane Warner Home Video, 2007 Excelente!!!

THE ITALIAN EDITION ON DVD WAS UNWATCHABLE AND THAT'S THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS BLU-RAY. THE ONLY PROBLEM FOR ME IS THAT THERE IS NO ITALIAN LANGUAGE. THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS WRONG             Howards End - The Merchant Ivory Collection76 reviews Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter Merchant Ivory, 2005 Classic - Must See!! This is one of my favorite films, truly a classic film. Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, and Helena Bonham Carter, and Vanessa Redgrave do an outstanding job, as always. The story is interesting and it makes one think of how this would have indeed been quite a scandal back during this time! I love the costumes....and the houses are amazing, all of them from the townhouses in London to Howards ...             Lady Jane111 reviews John Abbott, Joss Ackland Paramount, 2003 Lady Jane Lovely story with a fairytale style theme. It was a different look at what could have been in times where love was not the norm for people in the Tudor era.             A Room with a View (Two-Disc Special Edition)181 reviews Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter BBC Warner, 2004 VERY GOOD TRANSFER THE BLU-RAY IS VERY VERY GOOD IN VIDEO ALSO CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE MOVIE.

The lovable claymation gadget-inventing duo hits the big screen for the first time in this outrageous and extremely silly adventure. Read the product description for the plot. Clever, harmless, engaging and completely goofy. The jokes are constant and hilarious. Also, check out their early adventures and the equally excellent Chicken Run by the same people. pet the bunnies ...             Merlin (Special Edition)320 reviews Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson Lions Gate, 2004 A solid rendering -- full-screen version For fantasy movie fans this one is a big winner. It's Merlin's story, told in retrospect by the old necromancer himself. The casting is near perfect, the scenery and sets are superb, the cinematography is terrific, and the story continuity is quite coherent, (the latter of which is a big problem in the subsequent "Merlin's Apprentice"). Merlin is "all good" in a time and place where ...              search for DVDs barber, blu-ray, burton, charlie, chocolate, collection, collector, corpse, edition, factory, gromit, hamlet, howards, merchant, merlin, phoenix, planet, potter, rabbit, screen, special, standard, street, sweeney, twelfth, two-disc, ultimate, wallace, were-rabbit, widescreen DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
