DVD: history     DVD:       The History of Rock and Roll44 reviews Solomon Burke, Smokey Robinson Warner Home Video, 2004 Excellent reference to complement other sources The usefulness of this product depends on the purpose for which you buy it. If you simply want a historical review, it is exdcellent, lots of music tracks and interviews with artists. If you are a serious student, this is good to fill in some of the blanks not covered by other sources. The role of the narrator is minimised and the material is presented mainly with comments from artists and the ...             Haunted History - Haunted Histories Collection (Hauntings / Vampire Secrets / Salem Witch Trails / The ...4 reviews Kirstie Alley, Henry Czerny A&E HOME VIDEO, 2007 Awesome Deal! This is a great collection of History Channel documentaries pertaining to the paranormal. Compared to the prices for buying the DVDs individually ($19.99+), this is a hell of a bargain! In this collection you're pretty much getting each DVD for $4.00. I don't know who could argue with that.             The Dark Ages (The History Channel )13 reviews RJ Allison A&E Home Video, 2007 Good For Teachers Good Information, as expected, also interesting and engaging for students. This is a great review of the early middle ages leading to the crusades.             The History Boys60 reviews Samuel Anderson, James Corden 20th Century Fox, 2007 One Of The Best Films of 2006 "The History Boys" has to be one of the best films of 2006 and one that will endure. In the tradition of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" and "Dead Poets Society" it is about eight precocious boys on the cusp of manhood eager to get into Cambridge or Oxford. They are awaking to both learning and sex-- at least some of them-- with members of both sexes. Alan Bennett wrote the screenplay based on his brilliant ...             A History of Britain - The Complete Collection63 reviews Timothy West, Bill Paterson A&E Home Video, 2002 RULE BRITANIA!!! Very inspiring, well done series. Great photography, not the usual set of boring dates, names, etc. Makes history come alive!             The Universe - The Complete Season One (History Channel)34 reviews The Universe A&E HOME VIDEO, 2007 Thu Universe One of the best video series that I have ever watched. Spectacular pictures and educational information wrapped up into one. Great price prompt delivery and an excellent video for anyones library.             A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)415 reviews Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello New Line Home Video, 2006 Leisurely Paced And Subtle Not the sort of desscription you'd expect from a typical thriller these days. Not a car chase in sight, no explosions and certainly not an action/adventure film. And hardly a happy, predictable ending either. So what exactly do we have? The answer is a very good psychological thriller with a mobster background underlying the plot, but this is really of secondary importance. The whole film ...             History of the World Part I147 reviews Mel Brooks 20th Century Fox, 2006 A classic, I wish Part II would cme out I LOVE Mel Brooks. The first time I saw History of the World I went looking for part two!!!!!! I am trying to own all of his movies. This movie is filled with stars and will have you peeing your pants from laughing so hard             A History of God (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives)4 reviews History of God A&E Home Video, 2005 Special program, worthy of viewing by young adults and adults "A History of God" is a very special program reviewing the history of monetheism practiced by Jews, Christians and Muslims. It is fine synopsis of Karen Armstrong's incredible book by the same title, a work of scholarship with a narrative of some 399 pages. My transcript of the program from the DVD is just 30 pages -- a tribute to the incredible writing and editing by talent people who produced ...             American History X640 reviews Edward Furlong, Beverly D'Angelo New Line Home Video, 1999 One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made If it had sugar-coated racism, it wouldn't be truthful. This is how it really is with these neo-Nazi groups. Edward Norton was robbed of a well-deserved Oscar, which he should have gotten for best actor. He played Derek Vinyard with brilliance, and he remains one of the greatest character actors out there. If you've got a teenager in 9th grade or higher, he or she should experience this story, it ...             The History Channel Presents The Presidents25 reviews A&E Home Video, 2005 The Presidents Wonderful set for anyone who enjoys American History, especially our presidents! I ordered a set for our Christian Day School; was so impressed, I ordered more for myself and others. Once you start watching, it's hard to find a stopping place until you've finished! One thing especially pleased me, it was not "party-biased". I felt the good and bad was reported with reasonable balance for all ...             The Nazis - A Warning from History17 reviews Samuel West, Fritz Arlt BBC Warner, 2005 A Warning from the Past - for the Present An excellent production! One of the best things about this documentary was the personal perspectives - the many interviews with people who were "on the ground" as it was all happening. It reinforced the role of individual responsibility and public actions in how the Nazis came to power. As they explain in some detail, before the Great Depression the Nazi's had only single digit (percentage ...             Decisive Battles of the Ancient World (History Channel)9 reviews Decisive Battles of the Ancient World A&E Home Video, 2006 Very good series When I saw this set advertised, I was very excited to get it. But when I read that the battles were presented using computer simulations, I was very skeptical. It just sounded so cheesy. Well, I bought the series and viewed with an open mind. I was pleasantly surprised. The simulations will fool no one, but they're good enough for their purpose--to show the ENTIRE battlefield, which in some ...             The History Channel Ultimate Collections: World War II6 reviews Patrick O'Neal A&E Home Video, 2006 THE HISTORY CHANNEL ULTINMATE COLLECTION: WORLD WAR II Great service. Even with a late order date, it arrived in time for Christmas- thanks             The History Channel Presents The Revolution16 reviews American Revolution, Revolutionary War A&E Home Video, 2006 Very Well Done! I usually like the PBS history better than history channel history, so I bought the PBS series on the Revolution first. I was a little disappointed at the lack of detail in the PBS series. This one by the history has the detail I wanted and is very interesting and well done. Being honest with you, you'd swear the series was taken directly from the book "Patriots" by J Langguth, because if ...             The History Channel Presents Last Stand of the 300 - The Legendary Battle at Thermopylae35 reviews TJ Cencula, John Fairbairn A&E Home Video, 2007 More informative than expected I saw the movie but this gives more meaning to the story. I had no idea how the battle got started.             The French Revolution (History Channel)24 reviews George Ivascu, Phillip Levine (II) A&E Home Video, 2005 What I was looking for I bought the French Revolution DVD to replace a worn-out VCR tape of the same program--an excellent move. I am very pleased with my purchase.             The History Channel Presents Jesse James - American Outlaw1 review Jesse James, Caspar Poyck A&E HOME VIDEO, 2007 rv6672 A good production on the plot to kill Jesse James. A deeper insight on Robert Ford and his desire and ambitions to be a member of the James gang. His disappointments concerning his role in the gang that eventually led to the plot and it's consequences.             Lost Worlds (History Channel)4 reviews Lost Worlds A&E Home Video, 2007 Cooool Pretty cheap for 9 hours of running time. The animations are very cool, lots of good footage of old castles in the knights templer episode, very interesting historical story's like the real dracula, hitlers supercity , amazingly huge constructions displayed in many of the episodes in great detail, Three thumbs up.             Vietnam - A Television History38 reviews Everett Alvarez, Herbert Bluechel WGBH BOSTON, 2004 Thought-provoking and compelling To give this documentary a one-star review simply for the PBS re-editing saddens me. I walked away from this DVD with a vast knowledge about the war I never had before. While I haven't seen the original, and would very much like to now, this bare-bones retelling of the entire war from A to Z is absolutely one of the best documentarys I've ever seen. There is no flour, no sugar, no flashy ...              search for DVDs american, ancient, archives, battles, britain, channel, collection, collections, complete, decisive, halloween, haunted, hauntings, histories, history, legendary, platinum, poltergeist, presents, presidents, revolution, secrets, television, thermopylae, ultimate, universe, vampire, vietnam, violence, warning DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
