A great wrap up for the Ori
Once again, like Continuum, I could have gone easily on a 4 or 6 hours wrap for it seems they did lack of time in this dvd to make it all wrap up,yet, the storyline is rather excellent and a fantastic way to wrap up the Ori story, left unfinished on season 10. The introduction shall allow many who don't know the series to at least catch up with season 10 finale in order to understand better that ...

A Classic B&W gem from the 50's
I'd always enjoyed this movie on TV and was glad to be able to add it to my DVD collection. Not having seen it in a while there were scenes I did not remember, particularly at the beginning. I suspect TV stations tended to snip the early scenes to add commercial time since the film-maker took the time to insert something a lot of modern movies don't bother with: Plot Development. The original ...

Beautiful and wild, co-starring Heath Ledger
After slowly getting over the news of Heath Ledger's death, I wanted to watch him again in one of his movies. Although I like Brokeback Mountain, I prefer this one. It's the story of the Z-Boys, four teenage surfer friends who in the mid seventies take up skate boarding and thus change the world of sports forever. Heath is "Far Out!" Skip, a surfer and surf store owner who is the first to ...

Must see for anyone into cheesy surf movies.
A great cult classic. I highly recommend to anyone who loves to surf. I hadn't seen this movie in probably 15 years and after a trip to Maui it was number one on my list. I couldn't believe Laird Hamilton was Burkhart, Hilarious!!! And Gerry Lopez as the Hui leader. It doesn't get any better than that. Great film, Great cast, Love it.

science student
This is one of my favorite films. However, several reviewers make an understandible mistake. Eric Liddell was a science student, not a divinity student in university. He subsequently taught science in the Anglo-Chinese school in Tianjin in a building which now houses an amazing open(TSPM)church. Devotion to God is not in opposition to science.

WarGames (25th Anniversary Edition) A Worthy Upgrade!
As many of us remember seeing this fun movie first run in a theatre, we all chuckle a bit at the 8" floppy discs, monochrome monitor, BASIC programming, the top load VCR, cradle modem and so on. But aside from the fantasies needed to tell a story, WarGames hits the mark on all points. As the movie was filmed during the Reagan years, the Soviets really were nervous about SAC and the entire ...

Magnolia, 2007

MXC anyone?
Probably one the greatest shows of all time has got to be MXC. I just love watching show after show of this. I really liked the the English dubbed better than the Japanese language version. I mean in the English dubbed version, they make all this humorous sounds and silly pharses, as well as replaying almost everybodies screw ups. Then there's the Japanese version. They don't make good enough ...

LOVE IT!!
I absolutely LOVE this video! It is the perfect full body workout. I had the VHS version of Cindy Crawford's first video and got on to re-order the DVD when I saw this video. I decided to go for something new and different and I'm so glad I did. I just advanced from using 3 lb weights to 5 lb weights and wwhhheeww what a challenge. I've only used the video for a couple weeks now and I ...

Cricket Anyone? ~ More Than Just A Game, More Than Just A Movie
Note: Hindi with English subtitles. If you live in the America's you'll need a Multi-Region player to watch this DVD. This movie served as my introduction to Bollywood and the Indian film industry. Looks like I started with the very best! What an amazing, enjoyable movie! It will make you laugh, it will make you cry. It will have you watching a band of determined Indians play cricket against ...

People Will Talk

20th Century Fox, 2004

Good Flick
People will Talk is an amazing movie in a serio/comical, light entertainment style. Cary Grant is at his best and the rest of the cast is great as well. Too many great scenes to list. But I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes the light humor style. There is not much of it these days. The funny thing is I have heard things like, that movie is old, or I don't like Cary Grant or Cary ...

ANCHOR BAY, 2007

Back to basics, and what a great trip
Other reviewers have said it, and I must echo their comments. "The Man From Earth" is an inspiring return to the roots of filmed science fiction. I'm talking about the kind of science fiction associated with the likes of Rod Serling, Ray Bradbury, Gene Roddenberry, and Robert Wise. I mention them (2 writers, 1 producer and 1 director) because they are all connected with the old school - possibly ...

My favorite WATP!
Out of all of Leslie Sansone's workouts, I love this one the most. This workout is just straight aerobics without the weights, stretchies, or belts. All of the usual steps are in there plus some grapevines and other movements which are a bit different than usual. After I finish this workout I feel great and feel like I have gotten a good workout. (And no....she doesn't say she likes to kick ...

Very good movie
We've been seeking out movies which are made in western Europe, they are very entertaining and different from movies produced in the U.S. "On A Clear Day" does not disappoint. There are several other movies of this type you should seek out; Waking Ned Devine, Saving Grace are but two.

...later...at the Hall of Justice...
I never grew up watching the Superfriends as most of the reviewers have. I do remember catching it in re-runs on weekday afternoons...usually at 3:30...so i never caught it on the Saturday morning line-up. I had always liked the shows...i liked all the versions of SUPERFRIENDS that i have been able to see through the years. The one that sticks out by far is CHALLENGE OF THE SUPERFRIENDS. As one ...

My husband was an Infantry Officer and Helicopter Pilot in the Vietnam War. This series seems to be very realistic and I am realizing what he must have gone through as a young man. I am very pleased with the presentation and sad at the same time.

I love Mark Dacascos
Sexy and talented martial arts actor Mark Dacascos gets to show off his fine body and skills in this average plot film. The star is martial arts style known as Brazilian Caporeira and Mark's really good at it. The style developed because slaves were forbidden to be taught the martial skills so it was disguised as dance. Pretty ingenious! If you are interested in seeing this fighting style and ...

Tanja is awesome
as always, her workouts are great, challenging, and they are different from your regular workout dvd. They are filmed outside in a beautiful location, Tanja is refreshing and fun, and very motivating. Three workouts, you can do them separately or all. The ball made me sweat, you would never believe how heavy on your arms a ball filled with air can be! I own all of Tanja's dvds and I can ...

Great Follow-Up Movie!
TEEN TITANS: TROUBLE IN TOKYO is the first and hopefully not the last direct to TV and DVD movie based on the cartoon series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The cartoon series was based on the DC Comics superheroes that came out in the 1960s. At the time, the Teen Titans consisted of Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad. They were all sidekicks to major icons in the DC Comics universe. Later, ...
