Bug Wars! Details for new Blu-ray due out August 5th, 2008, early video/sound reviews
It's humans versus giant space bugs! In the 23rd century, humans live on a crowded, militaristic Earth with fascist overtones. Three friends from high school join the military and serve in a war against grotesque insect-like aliens. We see war propaganda, training for war, sci-fi warfare (mostly not so different from current warfare), gung-ho attitudes set against the human (and bug) costs of ...

Awesome
Africa: The Serengeti (IMAX) [Blu-ray] I know, I know - I'm still enamored of Blu-ray and HDTV and am also fascinated with African wildlife and oceanic wildlife. The video and surround sound were awesome for home video. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys this type of documentary.

There is no Beating the Beginning of the Clone Wars...
I've Waited long Enough, heard enough Criticism taken enough Star Wars and George Lucas Bashing. It is August of 2008 as I write this. Star Wars Is and always has been a Cultural Phenomenon. Why has the Original Trilogy Flourished, while the Prequels have been treated less then kind to. First off Episodes I-III are The story of Anakin Skywalker. Not the back story of the Exploits of Darth ...

I got the Special Edition vs. the "foo foo" version ...
Listening to previous reviewers here on Amazon, I ordered only the "special edition" vs. the "foo foo" version that came with the book and other thing. I'm glad I did. The quality is fine, and it's so wonderful to be whisked away into Python-land once again! I still remember the dialog word for word - my fellow "Rhebo's" from HCHS would be proud ... ! Python is silly and irreverent, ...

The evolution of Pixar
"Pixar Short Films" is the technical and artistic evolution of Pixar. Hit 'Play All', and understand that you'll start slowly. By the third short, Pixar finds their legs and and accelerates. From a slow start in 1987 to a hilarious piece from 2007, this DVD spans 20 years, showing steady improvement in technology and concept. Each piece stands alone, almost all are brilliant, and all are ...

Absolutely adorable....
I loved this film. It's so low budget and cheap, yet it's immensely watchable, hilarious, and kind of sweet in a dark, sinister way. I think it's Corman's best film (along side his Poe films, which are quite outstanding in their own way), and it's the film that was "infamously" shot in two days. The fact that Corman shot this film at record speed and made a great film is really something ...

Do i really need a title? is that really necessary?
Look i just wanted to rate this product. it was great. i shouldn't have waited so long to buy it but then i had the VHS version till about a few months ago. the DVD set has an awesome bonus disc that contains a documentary about the struggles George Lucas had just making star wars happen. Theres only one difference i noticed in the film between the VHS version and the DVD versions and thats ...

"Some bad hat Harry"
I love this movie! Jaws has it all, sure it's scary, but it is very funny, sympathetic, exciting too. It also takes place on and in real water in a real ocean. Something sorely missing in todays aquatic films. The charecters are memorable, and developed and perfectly cast. If Jaws were made today,Denise Richards would be Hooper, George Clooney would be Brody, and Bruce Willis would be Quint! ...

The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)

1987 reviews
Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies

New Line Home Video, 2003

A Masterpiece of Epic Proportions
"The Two Towers" is as close to a perfect movie as I've seen. It's epic in scope, both in the actual story as well as the task of adapting the book into a movie. While showing respect for the source material, Jackson wasn't afraid to tweak here and there in order to make the story work as a movie. Instead of having half the movie tackle the Aragorn/Rohan story and the latter half detail Frodo ...

Only the Valiant

Gregory Peck, Lon Chaney Jr.

Lions Gate, 2008

Outstanding Western
Only the Valiant is an early example of what might be called the "impossible mission" movie subgenre. Flicks of this type have plots in which a certain number of men, ususally hard cases, are picked for a do or die mission in which there is a high degree of failure. Other notable films of this sort are The Guns of Navarone, The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare. Gregory Peck stars as Captain ...

A very Sexy, Gunpowder-filled movie
Since this was the start of the romance between Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, it only seems fitting that it would be an all out assault on every viewing member's wishes (Sexy Woman/Hot Guy, an endless hidden cache of weapons, exciting life, deeply in love when death seemed certain

Still powerful
Saw the film when it came out, at the Wellston Theatre in St. Louis. Saw it many times on T.V. Seeing it anew I realized how really top-rate the script, casting, acting, direction, score and cinematography are. There is not a mis-step and there is some amazing camera work. Look at the scene when the townspeople are heading for the mine; I think what we are seeing first is animation, then the ...

May 2003 MGM release: Excellent anamorphic transfer to DVD
I almost did not purchase a DVD of "Zulu" based on the mostly negative comments (by other Amazon reviewers) regarding the quality of the video and sound transfer to DVD. Well, I took a chance--and wow! The transfer to DVD is excellent! The format is anamorphic widescreen, enhanced for 16 x 9 large-screen, high-definition TVs. My comments are based on the Region 1, May 2003 DVD release by MGM. ...

Don't mess with MAMA
Jaws 3 DVD Quite frankly I was disappointed with this movie, but I did not watch it in 3D so that might be part of my problem. There are more skiers, oh, Yummy. Even some bumper boats, Yum Yum. Jaws 3 takes place at a water amusement park with under water glass tunnels,etc. In one shot you can see part of the Orange County, Florida logo on an ambulance so, I would presume it was ...

Probably The Last Great Black & White Movie Made
I am a war movie buff. I have seen them all. Heck, I have seen Patton a million times but I just went and bought Patton in Blu-Ray. And by the way, the Patton transfer is the best older movie transfer I have yet seen, it looks as good as the day it opened at the movies. Anyway, I really have seen most of the great WWII movies made in the 60s and 70s except for this one. I finally saw it ...
