DVD: legendary     DVD:       The History Channel Presents Last Stand of the 300 - The Legendary Battle at Thermopylae38 reviews TJ Cencula, John Fairbairn A&E Home Video, 2007 Excellent historical review If you liked the movie "300" as much as I did, you'll definitely enjoy the documentary. It goes into much greater detail that the comic book and movie simply glossed over. Bottom line, get this DVD to acompany your "300" DVD!             The Mist280 reviews Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden Genius Products (TVN), 2008 An explanation for some of the bad, 1-star reviews you see here. Several fundamentalist churches have taken exception to the way Marcia Gay Harden's character was depicted, and have encouraged their faithful to give this wonderful movie bad ratings, in the hope of reducing the number of people who buy it. Just thought you'd like to know. The supermarket scene was some of the best drama ever in a horror movie. Judge for yourself!             How I Met Your Mother - Season 191 reviews Alyson Hannigan, Monique Edwards 20th Century Fox, 2006 It's Awesome Times Awesome. It's Awesome Squared How I Met Your Mother is a great show and watching Season 1 consistently reminds me of the charm it brings to the air. It is so easy to fall in love with these characters. Ted, Robin, Lily, Marshall, and Barney have all found a special place in my heart. I can watch these episodes over and over again. This show is legen...wait for it...dary.             The Thief of Bagdad - Criterion Collection11 reviews Sabu, Conrad Veidt Criterion Collection, 2008 WHY BUY THE CRITERION VERSION? THE SOUND! It's true that both the Criterion and MGM releases of "The Thief of Bagdad" come from the BFI (British Film Institude) restoration and that the Technicolor look is well served on both discs, but there is at least one major reason to up grade to the Criterion release and that is the SOUND! Miklos Rozsa's score for this film is one of the greatest of all-time, but it was a challenge to capture his ...             How I Met Your Mother - Season Two48 reviews How I Met Your Mother, Monique Edwards 20th Century Fox, 2007 HILARIOUS! I love this series! Thanks to a friend who introduced it to me. Every episode makes me laugh!             The Girl Next Door56 reviews William Atherton, Blanche Baker ANCHOR BAY, 2007 Harrowing, disturbing, and a GREAT movie The Girl Next Door is a horrowing, disturbing, and magnetic film based loosely on the case of Sylvia Linkens (Indianapolis, 1965). For me, this movie was hard to watch and hard NOT to watch. It isn't for the faint-of-heart. And, it is terrific.             The Mist (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)280 reviews Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden Genius Products (TVN), 2008 An explanation for some of the bad, 1-star reviews you see here.

Judge for yourself!             Fanny33 reviews Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier Image Entertainment, 2008 I can't believe Warner Bros. let this one get away This is one of the sweetest movies I've ever seen, and it is a shame that Warner Bros. didn't bother to renew their rights to it. Image Entertainment rides to the rescue, though, with a new DVD release of this classic. When I say the movie is sweet, it manages to do so without being cheesy. Leslie Caron is in the title role as a young woman who finds herself pregnant after consummating her ...             Shane166 reviews Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur Paramount Home Video, 2000 dead man riding 'shane' is my favorite western. it's just about perfect and ,i think, everything that could be said about this film has been said. i would only like to add why ,imho, shane didn't respond to joey's cries of "come back, shane!" i believe that shane didn't want to die in front of joey. shane was gut shot by palance, and if you watch closely as shane rides off, just before the film ends, you can ...             Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire: Live at the Greek Theatre [Blu-ray] Chicago, Wind & Fire Earth Image Entertainment, 2008 The teaming of legendary groups Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire was the tour hit of the summer. Playing to sold-out venues this spectacular show brought the GRAMMY-winning artists together in a show that both individually and together highlighted their revolutionary melding of rock soul and jazz as well as their numerous #1 and Top 10 hits. Now you can have a front-row seat for this amazing concert performed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. ...             Columbo - Mystery Movie Collection, 198946 reviews Peter Falk, Fisher Stevens Universal Studios, 2007 C'mon, Universal, it's been a year now! Why the long delay in putting out more of the TV movies? Please, Universal, I am more than ready for my next Columbo fix!             And This Is Free: The Life and Times of Chicago's Legendary Maxwell St.1 review Various Artists Shanachie, 2008 CHICAGO MEMORIES This is an outstanding release--the subject is Maxwell St. Chicago,a legendary marketplace and breeding ground for some of the finest blues music ever made--and as could be expected some fairly eccentric characters emerged. The DVD consists of two b/w films,And This Is Free and Maxwell Street;A Living Memory--both are excellent and include some fine music from the street, including Robert ...             Evil Dead II (Special Edition)448 reviews Sid Abrams, Josh Becker Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000 If you haven't seen this movie, it's a must for any horror fan Holy cow, this movie was crazy hilarious! Wow, if you have not seen this movie (or the first Evil Dead movie), you have got to watch this movie. I won't go into specifics about what this movie was about, since plenty of other reviewers have done so, I will give my opinion about this movie instead. The movie is campy and cheesy, with lots of blood gushing in torrents that you know no human ...             The Mummy (Universal Legacy Series)2 reviews Arthur Byron, Katherine Byron Universal Studios, 2008 Yet another release of the 1932 classic horror film If you prefer your horror the old-fashioned way with atmosphere, implication, and imagination versus explicit special effects, this is your kind of movie. Everyone already knows the tale, and everyone has already seen the movie. It is worth ownng though. It was made in the precode era when horror movies could still have a dash of the shocking. Plus movies were still learning to talk, so much ...             Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition)338 reviews Terry Alexander, John Amplas Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003 Grossly Under Appreciated First George Romero gave us Night of the Livening Dead, which became the corner stone for an entire genera of horror films and gave birth to one of the most well known and recognized movie monsters in history, the zombie. Then, in 1978 he its sequel, Dawn of the Dead, took the zombie film to a new level of horror and popularity. Full of satire and grotesque humor Dawn of the Dead became the ...             The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition43 reviews Liam Neeson, John Blackborow Sony Pictures, 2003 Shackleton - Still the Story of Stories In the annals of exploration, there may be no greater story than Shackleton's. It is told with all the detail and none of the embellishment from which other chronicles suffer. You will feel the heartbreak and joy of perhaps the greatest adventure in Antarctic history. A great story superbly told on film!!             Trilogy of Terror129 reviews Karen Black, Robert Burton (III) Dark Sky Films, 2006 Still freaks me out I first saw this three stories tele-movie three decades ago and after finding it was on dvd, purchased Trilogy of Terror to find out if it still has a high scare factor. It does! For anyone contemplating purchase I say go right ahead but make sure you don't live alone. I won't spoil your entertainment with details, suffice to say that the first story is spooky, subtle with a knockout ending; the ...             Casanova89 reviews Heath Ledger, Sienna Miller Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2006 Heavenly Heath Love that Heath Ledger. Really played the romantic/fool to a "T". Excellent movie for all Heath fans!             Phantasm187 reviews A. Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury AVCO Embassy Pictures, 2007 5-Star Independent Classic Horror. See it, it's good for ya. Don Coscarelli's intensely dreamlike "Phantasm" is a very original and startling horror film from the late 70's. A lot of horror classics were produced in the 70's, but this one in particular stands out because it is the only one that does not hearken back in some way to earlier established archetypes. All the details are more or less original, so you are not looking at a retread of the ...             Tales from the Crypt - The Complete First Season62 reviews William Sadler, Joe Pantoliano Home Box Office (HBO), 2005 great!!!!!!!
