Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Two-Disc Special Edition)

615 reviews
Timothy Bateson, Helena Bonham Carter

Warner Home Video, 2007

potter finale
The final chapter of the Harry Potter movies was delightful, imaginative, adventurous and magical. More importantly it left us feeling satisfied with a great and proper ending. While Harry Potter was growing and getting older, his films continued to give us the proper enjoyment we were craving since the first movie. Over the years, we learned more about the story and the movie creators never ...

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs)

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan

20th Century Fox, 2006

Late to the party but lucky nonetheless
I was never a Buffy fan when the show was on the air. I had seen the movie and did not think much of it. I never really heard much about how the writer was disatisfied with the results, that he had a different vision for the idea and when the show came to life it more accurately reflected his vision. When I first heard about Buffy coming to TV I shook my head in disbelief. I assumed, like the ...

Excellent cardio workout
This workout def. gets your heart pumpin' and your body sweatin'!!! I bought this dvd because I recently purchased Jillians 30 day shred and really liked it. I wanted a cardio workout that was around 30 min. so I could do if after my weight-training workouts...and I was pleasantly surprised by how effective this workout is! After I finished the workout I looked down at my shirt and it was soaked ...

Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]

598 reviews
Harrison Ford, Sean Young

Warner Brothers, 2007

Almost more than you'd want.
There's been a lot said about this set, so I'll just say that I was impressed with the quality of transfer, the choices and options of versions, and the additional material to see what happens in the actual production and post of a movie from a standpoint beyond the usual behind the scenes mini features. Still glad I can get a few HD (not Blu-ray discs).

Deadliest Catch

Discovery Channel, 2007

IN THE COMPANY OF FISHERS
Seeing these episodes in the warm safety of our living room, my neighbors still wonder why men do this. My wife asks, how can anybody deal with the extreme risk day in and day out? What ties the crew together? What are they really like? She doesn't hear me explain. After years of marriage sometimes we communicate better without words. Spoken or written, I still can't seem to break the ...

Image Entertainment, 2008

Amazing visual quality (Blu-ray version)
My wife and I just finished watching this on blu-ray and the visual quality is truly stunning. It compares favorably even to some of the latest release blu-ray movies. I wasn't expecting too much, but it's definitely worthwhile in high-def - the robots look super sharp, landscapes / fields look almost 3D. The subtitles appear to be closed captioned (description of background sounds, ...

Angel - Seasons 1-5 30-Disc DVD Set

David Boreanaz

20th Century Fox, 2007

Excellent show!
This a very good show. Sure, it is a spin-off to the beloved "Buffy" - but "Angel" holds up on it's own as a great, entertaining show. Well-acted with great plot. Buy now!

Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Edition with Bonus Disc)

2510 reviews
Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew

20th Century Fox, 2004

Overrated, but overall, still great
The elements in the Star Wars films are not exactly original. Close to all the ideas are borrowed from different genres spanning from Japanese Samurai films, old Sci-Fi films/serials, Westerns, etc. Then there is the simplistic moral system of the Jedi. There really isn't much genius there. The genius comes from Lucas' knack for innovation of these cliche elements and innovation in general. ...

"People Are Gonna Want To Know... How It All Went Down"
Going into Cloverfield, I was incredibly curious. Would I vomit from the camera? Could this monster be the next Godzilla? Could a movie work with NO stars? Could J. J. Abrams flop in the face of hype again? To answer those in order: No, Doubtfully, Yes, No. In fact, I think this movie is an instant classic that isn't afraid to turn Hollywood rules on its head. What Abrams and company do is take ...

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2005

Great movie.
My granddaughter loves this movie. The DVD version is so much more colorful and now we can watch it in the car in the portable DVD player. Everyone with children should have this movie. It was the first movie that I remember going to see and I enjoy it even more now in the new format.

Right on Time Purchase
I'm so happy with my purchase of "New Jack City". The shipping was very fast, and the price was vey reasonable.

Harve Bennett, Cynthia Blaise

Paramount, 2003

top off with RIFFTRAX!
this movie has its charms, especially (and obviously) for fans of the original series like myself. but it really is a pretty crappy movie overall. the perofrmances seem to almost border self parody, especially with scotty. the crew has a sort of 3 stooges routine going on, acting like bumbling fools. there's even two scenes featuring kirk, bones and spock camping in what are suppose to be ...

BBC Warner, 2008

"Why Reveal Spoiler"??
I have been very excited about purchasing Season 5. However, this is the last time I'll read a review on anything here, because of the review of "Aunt Holly". Holly, when you review something, please don't feel the need to reveal major plot points just because you have seen them happen, thereby spoiling the potential enjoyment of same by someone who hasn't. It's the basic modicum of internet ...

The Best of Youth

Luigi Lo Cascio, Alessio Boni

Miramax, 2006

Truly spectacular, moving, humane
"The Best of Youth" is a six-hour mini-series that follows the fortunes of an Italian family from the 1960s almost to the present. It is an amazing experience for the viewer. It's like a cinematographic version of "War and Peace" with a lovely, slow, thoughtful and ultimately moving love story at its heart. The movie is based around the experiences of two brothers who go through a seminal ...

We Were Soldiers [Blu-ray]

Mel Gibson, Madeleine Stowe

Paramount, 2008

One of the Best War Films
"We Were Soldiers" is an exceptional war film. It may be the best war film I've seen apart from the Civil War masterpiece "Glory." The battle scenes are intense and brutal to watch. The naphalm scene is especially horrific though I assume very realistic. Mel Gibson does a fine job as Col. Moore and Sam Elliot is superb as a tough seargent. The scenes of families at home and the arrival of ...

Sin City - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jessica Alba, Devon Aoki

Dimension Films, 2005

Sinful city
The nights are cloudy, the alleys are dark, the men are dangerous, bars are smoky and femmes are fatale. "Sin City" is a thing of dark, bloody beauty. It certainly says something if a graphic novel author helps out with a movie... especially if that creator swore he'd never let it be adapted. That is only one of the things that makes "Sin City," the adaptation of Frank Miller's comic, such a ...

The Dame Edna Experience - The Complete Collection (Series 1/2 & Specials)

14 reviews

Independent Television (ITV), 2004

Even better than I remembered it
In an A&E interview Robin Williams was asked to name the funniest person alive, and without hesitation he responded: "Barry Humphries". That's a mighty substantial reference, and it's a safe bet that if you like one of these comedians, you'll like if not love the other as well. Both performers are at their absolute best in off-the-cuff, impromptu situations, and fortunately "The Dame Edna ...
