It was in the theatres, I saw it in a theater myself.             300 (Two-Disc Special Edition)1072 reviews Gerard Butler, Lena Headey Warner Home Video, 2007 300 Rreceived this cd in new condition with very fast shipping. The product was of very good quality and I enjoyed watching it.             Troy - The Director's Cut [Blu-ray]813 reviews Brad Pitt, Eric Bana Warner Home Video, 2007 GREAT MOVIE!! I believe this is one of Brad Pitt's best movies. I though Orlando Bloom was beautiful but a real wimp! Eric Bana was Great too! I know you will love this movie!             Cleopatra158 reviews Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2006 Campy Cleopatra "Cleopatra" was the overhyped spectacle of the early '60s that nearly brought 20th Century FOX to its knees. There was the offscreen love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton (both married to other people) that overshadowed the movie. It's got cheesy dialogue, it indulges in camp spectacle... making it a classic. I used to watch "Cleopatra" all the time, and it's got staying power. ...             Becket147 reviews Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole MPI Home Video, 2007 Peter O'Toole's finest!!! This film is in my opinion OFF the charts on most levels!!! For any fans of ¨Lion in Winter ¨, this is a MUST see!!! For students of film and drama this is a benchmark of pristine, powerful and heartfelt delivery of the director's and the script writers intentions. Furthermore, the film's transfer onto DVD is gorgeous!!! I would even go as far to say that ALL actors on any level be it stage ...             Troy (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)813 reviews Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom Warner Home Video, 2005 GREAT MOVIE!! I believe this is one of Brad Pitt's best movies. I though Orlando Bloom was beautiful but a real wimp! Eric Bana was Great too! I know you will love this movie!             Spartacus173 reviews Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier Universal Studios, 1998 Words fail me I'm one of those people who cries easily in movies. I cry at sad parts, I cry at happy parts, I have no problem with turning on the water-works. I have seen a lot of great movies in my time, many of which have indeed caused me to tear up, but NOTHING prepared me for the emotional battering I received in Spartacus. Not since Mel Gibson's The Passion, has a film moved me so profoundly. My ...             Rome - The Complete First Season327 reviews Ciaran Hinds, Polly Walker HBO Home Video, 2006 You love it or hate it... HBO's Rome is a great television series about that Ancient City. The daily life is perfect in almost every way and the history, while compressed, is pretty correct as far as I know. As far as ANY of us know. There are gaps and the HBO people try to do their best to fill in those spaces with realistic but interesting events. The streets of Rome were that crowded, maybe with more beggars and ...             Mulan (Special Edition)458 reviews Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2004 Great DVD I ordered this for my granddaughter who has suddenly discovered Mulan and didn't have the DVD. She sat and watched very quietly for the first 45 minutes (she's two) and continues to want to watch it.             The Fall Of The Roman Empire (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (The Miriam Collection)79 reviews Sophia Loren, Alec Guinness Genius Products (TVN), 2008 Solid historical epic on 2nd century Rome. A very enjoyable movie with good period detail and enough history to be well above the typical sword and sandal movie.             The Mummy (Universal Legacy Series)72 reviews Boris Karloff, Zita Johann Universal Studios, 2008 Review of 2-disc Legacy Edition When Universal released 75th Annivesary editions of Dracula and Frankenstein in 2006, I assumed they would release a similiar set the following year for the Mummy, to mark its anniversary. But 2007 came and went, with no new Mummy DVD. Now, a year later, we finally get this deluxe edition. Before I get into the specifics of the discs, I want to share a few thoughts about the film itself. ...             The Mummy Returns [HD DVD]955 reviews Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2007 This is what Blu is all about! I can't recommend both Mummy movies on Blu Ray more! Awesome transfers for both flicks. But most of all, just good wholesome entertainment!             Attila115 reviews Gerard Butler, Powers Boothe Universal Studios, 2002 Atilla movie great quality. The movie was ordered because I am a Gerard Butler fan. I realize the movie may not have been historically accurate, but what movie is really? We enjoyed it and the quality of the product was very good. This was my first purchase, but I will certainly order other products.             I, Claudius217 reviews Robert Graves (II), Josef von Sternberg Image Entertainment, 2000 The best historical mini-series I have ever seen Without a doubt, for an in-depth fictional portrait of another era, this mini-series more or less sets the standard. The acting is uniformly excellent, but the depth of character, placed in context without cheap TV-style simplification, has not yet been equalled in my viewing. I will certainly watch it with my kids and discuss the details for hours and hours. As with all historical fiction, ...             The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition)250 reviews Dwayne Johnson, Steven Brand Universal Pictures, 2002 This was in theatres, not straight to video Please stop saying this is a straight to video movie. It was in the theatres, I saw it in a theater myself.             The Prince of Egypt328 reviews Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes Paramount Home Video, 1999 Best Animated Movie Ever This is probably the best animated movie I have ever seen; even compared to the Disney classics such as Toy Story and Cinderella. It is by far the best movie Dreamworks has ever made. The stunning visual animation along with the beautiful soundtrack make for an amazing movie that follows very closely to the actual Biblical story of Moses.             The Order88 reviews Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon 20th Century Fox, 2003 Great DVD, Lousy movie. As far as the DVD goes, it's fine. The movie, however, was disappointing. Something about a "death eater." Totally bizarre and ridiculous.             Barabbas30 reviews Anthony Quinn, Silvana Mangano Sony Pictures, 2002 Good movie on faith If you have doubt about your faith, this movie will inspire you. Anthony Quinn gives a award winning performance.             Gladiator - Extended Edition (Three-Disc Extended Edition)1639 reviews Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix Dreamworks Video, 2005 An absolute classic. It has it all, great acting, great plot, great action, and a great soundtrack. What more do you want? This movie will never get old.             Julius Caesar53 reviews Marlon Brando, James Mason Warner Home Video, 2006 The spirit of the play brought to life I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally. One of the first things you notice is the setting is a balance between stage and reality. This film being in black and white may have contributed to the ...              search for DVDs attila, barabbas, becket, blu-ray, caesar, claudius, cleopatra, collection, collector, complete, deluxe, director, edition, empire, extended, gladiator, julius, legacy, miriam, prince, returns, scorpion, season, series, spartacus, special, three-disc, two-disc, universal, widescreen DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
