WARNING!!!! THIS VERSION IS NOT THE ONE YOU GET
AMAZON HAS TOLD ME BY TELEPHONE THEY WERE DE-LISTING THIS EDITION after they sent me the wrong edition (the regular "Wild Thing" version) twice. I was told they no longer had this edition and I had to buy it elsewhere, BUT HERE IT IS STILL LISTED!!! So, if you order and get the "Turf" edition: lucky you! Now for my opinion: Needless to say, as a Cleveland fan since 1959, the thrill of "what ...

One of the best fantasy movies I've ever seen
And for me, that's a stretch. I'm a movie fanatic, and I've seen and own a LOT of movies. When I bought this one, I didn't realize the dialog was in Spanish. I first thought, "Oh, no," when I realized I was going to have to watch it with English subtitles. I'm not very tolerant of subtitled movies, but I was hooked within fifteen minutes. I forgot that I was reading the dialog while hearing it ...

I liked it...
Such a sweet movie. It isn't for the whole family but it is a great "fix" for a romantic at heart. The acting was great and the content was meant to be sentimental. It is a cute movie and I don't think anyone would regret watching it.

Chocolat (Miramax Collector's Series)

Who can resist chocolate?
In this movie chocolate is used as a symbol for sexual desires at a time when people rarely expressed their inner feelings openly. Ironically Vianne (Julliette Binoche) opens her shop in a conservative French village at a time when everyone was celebrating Lent, a fasting time for Catholics. She challenged their desires and discipline while they challenged her ambition and patience. I did ...

Wordgasms ensue
How would the teens of Dawson's Creek or the recent Juno speak like if they were English in the year 1797? Look no further than Pride and Prejudice, one of the greatest love stories ever told and the original template for essentially every modern chick-flick or romantic comedy to come henceforth. At first I thought the movie was rather talky and somewhat boring, but the more i watched and the ...

The Mission (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons

Warner Home Video, 2003

The reviewer's got it wrong!
Tom Keogh's editorial review got it wrong. This is a magnificent movie. The background is historically accurate. The music, much of which was written by South American composers during the 17th century, is flawlessly performed. The story is gripping, and one comes away with an accurate picture of what was going on at the time. It's one of the best movies I've seen in many years. It seems ...

Best Choice for Men's Meeting
This is the movie that started it all. The folks at Sherwood Baptist started their movie production with this. If you liked Facing The Giants...you will enjoy this movie as well. It is about a used car salesman coming to grips with what and who he is. It doesn't have the football action of Giants, but it does have a fantastic story line and includes all of the elements that make a good movie. It ...

One of the best movies I've ever seen.
This is not just a "chic" flick. After my 27 year old son recommended it, I watched it with my husband and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a beautiful story to be enjoyed many times.

Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet

Universal Studios, 2004

all i have to say....
is that this is my favorite movie of all time. It has a significant meaning to me. Its a good movie to watch if your just out of a long relationship. Jim carrey is great. He is far more than just a good comic actor. He is a great overall actor period. His dramatic performances are pretty over looked. he did great in this movie. I recommend this to pretty much everyone. its a movie you will want ...

A Beautiful Mind
There is not much more to say about this movie except that it is excellent. You may have to watch it more than once to really understand the seriousness of mental illness. Anyone that has any type of mental illness in their life-whether themselves or a family or friend will completely be able to relate to this movie. It is done beautifully, tastefully and carefully. Also a true story.

What HD was made for.
If I were to be stranded on an island and could take only one blu-ray dvd, Living Landscapes would be the one. The quality, colors and splender are unmatched. I have many IMAX movies along with the Planet Earth series and others. In my opinion Living Landscapes far exceeds them all in level of quality, content and production. As for the music, I feel it was perfect for the content. By all ...

Moan No More
This film originally caught my interest after I had seen a trailer for it on myspace. Admittedly, it was Justin Timberlake's appearance in what seemed a very odd film that was the true source of my interest. Later however, I read several very encouraging reviews that shed better light on the very strange subject matter and which also praised Timberlake's performance. I had been eagerly ...

Bridge to Terabithia
I saw this movie knowing nothing about the book. I just saw the preview and knew people who really liked the book. I didn't know if it was fantasy or drama. What I got was a really moving story about two kids who become friends through adversity. I am not a child so I don't know if a child would find this story boring. I didn't find it boring in the least. I do think the subject matter ...

Piper Perabo, Lena Headey

20th Century Fox, 2006

In SO MUCH LOVE with this.
This is, absolutly, the perfect lesbian date movie. I've seen a lot of Lesbian cinema. As a same-sex loving person you tend to seek out those movies that reflect you, nothing unusual. But even the simpliest of the Lesbian films - even those on the light side - tend to reflect some formulatic approaches. Like the husband is a jerk or dead weight. To the contrary... in imagine, me & You ...you LOVE ...

Give it a chance
I can't recall a movie so completely trashed by the critics as this unappreciated gem. The score is stunning. Some of the images, breathtaking. As far as the narrative, it is not your drab, formula-driven, 3-act, Hollywood vehicle. It is thought-provoking and original. This movie is worth seeing.

Geneon [Pioneer], 2005

Action, love, technology... perfection...
This was very enjoyable and satisfying. The case is the finest I have ever seen. The content on the bonus disk is fantastic too... This entire work says, very simply: "Someone Cared Enough to pay attention to everything and get it right." The few criticisms that one might have over it not being exactly like the original Appleseed VHS back in the day, can be addressed by saying simply ...
