Sense & Sensibility Collector's Set (Sense & Sensibility 2008 / Miss Austen Regrets / Persuasion 2007)

44 reviews

BBC Warner, 2008

Great Collection for a Worthwhile Price
I love all things Jane. This version of Sense & Sensibility is a worthy successor to what everyone keeps referring to as the "Hugh Grant" version. The actors are closer in age to the characters as written by Jane Austen. Persuasion is filmed and acted beautifully, until all the running about at the end. And Miss Austen regrets does a lovely job of telling Jane Austen's life story. I wouldn't ...

One of my all time favorite movies. Great to have the whole series of the Mummy movies in one set.

Firefly, The Conclusion.
If your a Joss Wedon fan, and a Firefly fan, then you need to add "Serenity" to your collection. Firefly was canceled rather ubruptly, leaving many unanswered storylines. "Serenity" answers all of those questions, and more. I recieved The entire Firefly series as a gift, and I was not satisfied until I added "Serenity" to it. But be prepared, two of Mal's crew don't make it.

Lives Up To The Hype
I just finished watching these 21 movies in chronological order of release. The picture and sound quality is absolutely amazing. They did such a good job with the frame by frame restoration that it looks as close to HD as SD can get. As to the sound, if you don't have a surround sound system, use this as an excuse to get one. I listened in DTS 5.1 with a surround system. A good bit of the ...

Powerful, Imaginative, Menacing, and Thrilling
Having recently rewatched this film in the new edition, I must confess I was unprepared for the power and seriousness of this classic adaptation of the HG Wells story. In particular, the presence of religion, both as a bridge to peace and a comfort against the unknown, is very powerfully rendered in striking images -- of the pastor holding the Bible and reciting the Lord's Prayer as he seeks ...

Columbia Tri/Star, 2002

Good As A Stand Alone Movie But Frustrating As A Film Version Of An Ingeniously Written Novel
To flesh out what my title says, this is a good enough movie when taken for its own merits, and perhaps in fairness to consider it for its own merits is all that someone should do, but when it comes to getting the tone of John Fowles' masterful novel, it fails miserably. I know there are many who will disagree with me but neither Samantha Eggar nor Terence Stamp were right for the roles they ...

The Nightmare Before Christmas (2-Disc Collector's Edition) + Digital Copy

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT, 2008

I can't get enough of my favorite imaginary world!
Simply put, Nightmare is one of my favorite movies. It combines fantasy, music, horror and Santa(?)...but once you hear Tim Burton's in on it, it all doesn't seem so strange. I'm not going to tell you what the movie's about since you probably have a good idea of it, but I will tell that the Blu Ray version is superior to any version out there. I've seen this movie so many times, but seeing it ...

Ultimate Collector's Edition mainly for collectors and those who don't have the movie on Blu-ray yet
This is the page for a newly announced Blu-ray Ultimate edition of A Christmas Story, which is due out November 4th, 2008. The movie is excellent, a Christmas classic (see below). Should you upgrade to the new Ultimate edition if you already have the 2006 Blu-ray edition? That depends on how much you like memorabilia. The new edition appears to be a repackaging of the 2006 edition, with a ...

Definitely worth the money
The remastered films look and sound fantastic! I could do without the little wallet and badge but the included booklet describing each film and it's actors is really nice. Definitely worth the money and a fine addition to my collection.

New Ultimate edition for collectors (and gift-givers) coming out for Christmas
Possibly the most popular film around, 1942's Casablanca pairs two iconic actors, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, in a story of lost love and reluctant heroism. Warner Brothers put out an excellent 2-disc Special Edition in 2003. (That older set is going to receive new artwork on December 2nd, but it will otherwise be the same.) This new 3-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition includes the ...

Jean-Luc Godard (3-Disc Collectors Edition)

Lions Gate, 2008

Finally, some harder to locate Godard titles...
Thanks to the reviewer who gave us the titles in the box set--a strange bit of information for Amazon to leave out. Of the three listed Godard films I've only seen "First Name Carmen." A quick synopsis: Two Parallel Stories (1)a quartet rehearsing Beethoven; (2)a group of film makers robbing a bank to produce their film. Godard utilizes Bizet's "Carmen" as a palet to weave the art of cinema ...

I just watched "Sunset Boulevard" for the first time. I absolutley loved it. I usually stay away from "black and white" movies, considering they are not from my generation. The only other old movies I've seen are "To Kill A Mockingbird", and parts of "It's a Wonderful Life". This one interested me because I work in the entertainment industry and I like movies about Hollywood. "Sunset ...

Has It All!
I was going to start purchasing the individual seasons from Amazon, and was pleasantly amazed to find this complete set. It has it all in a great box with excellent accessories like books, cards, posters, etc. Mine even came with 2 free passes to the movies! I plan on using those for the new movie coming out in a few weeks. Overall, this is a great set for someone who hasn't yet purchased any ...

Oh my God
It easy to understand why it took several years for this series to be filmed. On an HD 52" Flat sreen the visuals were abosolutely stunning. I also suggest whoever purchases this product should also consider the Planet Earth disc set. I just couldn'y get over the photography, as well as the in depth knowledge I gained from this series. I highly recommend it.

Warner Brothers, 2007

Excellent Disc
I really enjoyed this movie. It is definitely quite an ontological journey. This blu-ray set is four or five times better quality than the DVD which was almost equal in quality VHS. I can't say much of the sound because I have not yet listened to it through a theatre system.

Character and Leadership
The two new adventures are excellent! This is a great series for younger folks! The Hornblower series provide example after example of Leadership, Character and Courage! Each adventure is as good as the last, holding the viewer attention from beginning to end!
