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 ...

Two Movie for the Price of One!
As the proud owner of the MST3K boxed DVD sets, this movie was a "must see." The best part is that the worse the movie Mike Nelson, Crow and Servo are watching, the better the wisecrack remarks coming from the trio. Island Earth is a movie made for MST3K projection. The remarks by Nelson and the robots were so fast and furious, a few times we had to stop the DVD and rewind; we were laughing ...

Back When TV Was (Occasionally) Great
I saw Brideshead Revisited for the first time over 25 years ago on PBS. For a boy my age it proved strangely compelling and revealed a world to me I had never seen and never will. Then, a decade later, I was old enough to appreciate the book itself which I have read twice over the years. I can honestly say that the TV adaptation is faithful to the book. Unfortunately, I have not seen the film yet ...

The Promotion

Who gets the promotion? The real question is "Who cares?"
So, a good friend of mine invited me to come hang out this evening and watch a film that he had just picked up called the "The Promotion". The name sounded familiar to me but I was not aware of what the story was about or who starred in it. My friend could not answer either of my questions, but curiousity took over and I decided to grab some munchies and head over for a viewing. As soon as ...

First-class boxset treatment
I was tempted to buy the DVD season sets individually to save money. Thank God I decided to get this instead! Here's the breakdown: PROS: 1) The actual book's packaging is simply amazing to look at. The front cover of the book is a special lenticular material that mimics the shimmering moving water from the DVD menu as you view it from different angles. 2) The glossy photos interspersed ...

The O.C. - The Complete Third Season
I enjoyed the third season of the O.C. It did go quite a bit heavier that the previous seasons, but most shows do. Although a lot of this show does not deal in what I would call reality, it does deal well with some real-life situations realistically. Kirsten's alcoholism, Marissa's experimentation in a same-sex realationship and the fall out from Marissa shooting Ryan's brother Trey. Spoiler ...

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 ...

Simply, Superb !
I never imagined watching Mrs. Angela Lansbury in a musical like this. I love this actress and I think her performance is remarkable as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Tood. She would have enjoyed so much the new version in cinema. I recommend this DVD as a tribute to her. The story is amazing as well as in cinema but I think is very interesting to see all the technical aspects of a live-musical in a ...

Another Coen masterpiece
I loved this film. Billy Bob showed control, almost autistic, but fully aware all the time. Frances McDormand and James Gandolfini added to the outrageous subtle humor, all with a perfect "noir" attitude. Scarlett Johannson adds a bit of interest to the proceedings. The Coens never fail to provide an interesting story, and this is as good as it gets. The black 'n white photography is brilliant. I ...

Murphy's Best, Never to be outdone!
This film is now 20 years old, and every aspect of it is simply iconic. Classic. Memorable. Genius! If you disagree, "What do you know from funny, ya bastard?!" Every line in this movie is a line worthy of repeating, every scene one worthy of re-enacting. Easily one of the top ten comedies of all time, and top 100 films of all time. From Zamunda to McDowell's, you'll feel the greasy goodness of ...

Double Jeopardy
This highly suspenseful thriller showcases Ashley Judd's tremendous talent. Not only is she a phenomenal actress, but also her physical abilities in this movie were impressive. Tommy Lee Jones is as good as he always is. His performances always look so effortless, but never less than stellar. The decision to pair Judd and Jones was genius. They played well off of each other, and had a ...

Best Barney Video
I bought this for my 2 1/2 year who has alot of other Barney videos and this one is the best. I personally don't like watching Barney but both of kids do. I have to say "lets play school" is the most educational and that's what's most important. They go over shapes, colors, abc's and my toddler really participates and follows along. This video definitley makes learning fun. Even my 8 yr old ...

Fully exposéd
Please note that this is for the two-disc "Fully Exposed" edition: If you're reading this you're probably already a fan or at least have read other reviews telling you how great the movie is, so I won't clutter the place with more of the same. But it has to be said that after ten years of being stuck with a DVD that counts "Interactive Menus" as a special feature, I'm beside myself that ...

Terrorlicious!
One of the very first movies I remember seeing as a very young boy was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein on Million Dollar Movie on WOR-TV, Channel 9 in New York, in the early '60's. I was so enthralled with this movie, that as I got older, it easily became my favorite A&C movie...followed by Keep 'Em Flying... This movie never fit into the continuity of the other Universal "Monster" films, ...

Wonderful end!
I loved the original Christy series and just had to buy the DVD set. I remembered seeing the movies they made years later on TV so I just had to get them too to finish the collection. Out of all them, A New Beginning is the best. I think Lauren Lee Smith is a much better Christy than Kellie Martin. Smith's appearance is more what I imagine Christy to look like and she had much more chemistry ...
