The Civil War film for the history student!
Being an active professor, a war film collector, and a twenty-five-year military veteran, I sometimes tend to be overly-critical of war films, mostly in terms of historical accuracy and "situational believability." The pains the producers took make this both an enjoyable film yet as historically accurate as they could are especially noteworthy. Numerous other reviewers have accomplished ...

Stargate Atlantis Season 3
I bought Stargate Atlantis Season 3, I had gotten the 3-5 days shipping. It arrived between those days...witch to me is shocking. For the actual product, I don't know what to say, they are like all other DVD's they work, you watch Atlantis without COMERCALS and it's all good. Stargate Atlantis - The Complete Third Season

The best
HBO makes the best shows on earth and this is why! Next to "Sex in the City" this show rocks. Having all the shows together is the way to go.

I believe I have some insight into this whole aspect ratio controversy. For many years, filmmakers filmed movies in something called "Super 35." The final, unedited and uncropped raw footage looks something like the old Chevrolet symbol, in that each scene was framed in both widescreen AND fullscreen ratios. The widescreen crop, of course, was released to theaters, but the fullscreen crop was ...

I am a huge Hepburn fan, she has such a way when you are watching her you forget....everything else around you! the films I do own breakfast at tiffany's roman holiday, sabrina, funny face, One that is vastly different is The nun's story... she is quite deglamorized in that one! she truly was a talented beauty of her time AND YES, my fair lady made me laugh!!!

Smart People

Miramax, 2008

Comedy of Manners
Bad manners. Smart people, not brilliant, just smart, behaving badly. IQ isn't EQ. So it goes. It is the first performance by Church, whose finely nuanced whining is fingernail-chalkboard for me, that I [very surprised, too] enjoyed. He's the emotional center here and the catylist for emotional healing, not recovery of emotional balance, because this toxic family trio is so practiced at ...

The Bourne Identity (Widescreen Extended Edition)

I love that Euro stuff
Great movie, lots of action. My favorite scene had to be when the two main characters are in Franka's car and she asked "What kind of music do you like?" There they were driving in that tiny car, running from the officials, and she's being kind. It made me think of being in a similar vehicle, '59 Renault, equipped with an in-dash short wave radio. That was Europe to me and this line brought ...

Hellboy
Every thing was perfect, the amount of time they said it would take and helping with any questions I may have. A great experience on the whole.

Lonesome Dove.
This is an exellent western movie I wish I'd watched it when it was first released.Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are just superb.The other actors are also very good.The departure of Duvall I did not like but I guess the director Simon Wincer knew what he was doing. Yes I will watch it again.

The Thin Man Collection
I love The Thin Man movies, and any other movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy. They are very enjoyable. I really love the old movies, much more than most of the movies produced today. My husband and I get all the premium channels available, and there are really very few movies made in the past ten or fifteen years that we consider memorable. Mone of the trailers for movies for upcoming ...

Sense & Sensibility (with Miss Austen Regrets) (BBC TV 2008)

An Epiphany
For someone who hasn't seen or read but trivial bits of Austen since undergraduate days, this was an Epiphany. I expected Austen's imagination and skills, but I am glad to have re-discovered this later in life, especially the civilized discourse, the concepts of politeness, discretion, kindness, etc.

"Fox Western Classics" delivers a real bargain
Fox Western Classics offer three major, but rarely televised, westerns from the early 1950s. A real treat, and the best of the three in my opinion, is the "Garden of Evil". This is a really fun adventure/western that has Gary Cooper offering lines like "let's ride!" and this retort to Susan Hayward's comment about Richard Widmark staying behind to take on the Indians alone; "Somebody always ...

Patriotic Americans
While the movie of course was a hollywood creation it was never the less pretty historically factual. It depicted accurately the horrors and hardships the Carolinians suffered in order to achieve America's independence. My great grandfather was one of them.

Fun Caribbean type movie
A Jamaican man has the dream to make it to the Olympics, and while he is the fastest runner in the Island nation, he is tripped and unable to win. He finds out that there is another opportunity, and that is for a bobsled team, something Jamaica has never attempted because... who would ever dream of a team from a Caribbean Island that competes against the best of the best... they don't even ...

A wonderful movie to share with family and friends.
Generally speaking my wife and I do not go to the movies. We both agree that the overwhelming majority of films being produced today are vulgar, poorly written, and that the special effects in most are greatly overdone. We generally prefer to stay at home and watch classic movies from the 1940's and 1950's. So you can imagine our surprise when, while vacationing in a little town in New ...

This is one of the most beautifully filmed and moving stories of all time.Blu-ray only makes it even more beautiful to behold.Both Duvall and Church are superb in their portrayals of cowboys with hearts.This BD belongs in every man's library.

Difinitive Emma
This is a really difinitive production of Emma. Aside from the slightly jujeune leading lady (which gets her correctly - even Jane Austen knew she was somewhat dislikable), played excellently by Kate Beckinsale, we have the best Jane Faifax in gorgeous and extemely talented Olivia Williams. William's Jane is highlighted by some of the prettiest music pieces chosen for Jane - which is part of ...

The counterculture's finest moment
Something happened in the '60s, and we're still feeling the effects of it now. Even as I type these words, my neighbors on the other side of the apartment wall are playing rock music REALLY LOUD -- I even like what they're playing, though I'm not sure what band's album it is. For better or worse, rock music and its attendant baggage have had an enormous effect on our culture: I would even go so ...
