DVD: lion     DVD:       Lion of the Desert - 25th Anniversary Edition76 reviews Anthony Quinn, Oliver Reed Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005 Timely movie even after 25 years Lion of the Desert came out in 1981 to bad reviews and box office failure because its production was subsidized to the extent of $35 million by Libya. It was filmed mostly in eastern Libya - Cyrenaica -- and is worth viewing for the location itself. I saw it when it first came out and found it of interest at that time primarily for its portrayal of the Libyan national hero -- the indomitable ...             Tibet - Cry of the Snow Lion27 reviews Shirley Knight, Ed Harris New Yorker Video, 2004 Let His Holiness go home!!! 10 years in the making and worth it. Peace loving Tibetans brutally beat, tortured and now made to live as second-class citizens. Visually stunning, informative and gut wrenching. A MUST see...FREE TIBET!!             The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition Collector's Gift Set)452 reviews Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick Walt Disney Video, 2003 Everything that looks good, ain't good. I'd like to say the the price wasn't too cheap, because at $23.00, I could have bought this movie new. I figured I haven't had a bad experience in the 2 years I've been purchasing items from Amazon, so I'd buy it anyway. The delivery time was excellent, the case was neat and the disk was spotless...perhaps too clean. It is a copied movie onto a DVD from a pack of DVDs done up with a Label ...             The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe [Blu-ray]754 reviews Jim Broadbent, Patrick Kake WALT DISNEY VIDEO, 2008 Another amazing BluRay from Disney I have had this disc for a month, and am still working through the bonus features on it. Disney jam-packs their BluRay releases with Bonus features, and this one is no exception. When you have a whole extra BluRay (not DVD) of bonus features included.... I think the disc claims over 14 hours. The video transfer is crip and sharp, and film grain is next to non-existant. Colors are vibrant, ...             The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Widescreen Edition)754 reviews Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Disney, 2006 Another amazing BluRay from Disney I have had this disc for a month, and am still working through the bonus features on it.

Be prepared for a long evening (the running time for the two discs is three hours 23 minutes) but it is time well invested. WORLD WAR II: WHEN LIONS ROARED is a creative montage of actual film clips from the newsreels shown in theaters at that time together with contemporary filmed drama in script written by David W. ...             Lions For Lambs (Full Screen Edition)92 reviews Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep United Artists, 2008 Presenting Objective Thought Isn't it amazing that when views such as those in this movie are made public, those who prefer to be led by the nosering get defensive. What makes a person so fearful of opposing ideas? Could it be that it shows ones beliefs to be false? If you are someone who dislikes change, you prefer some external entity to make up your mind for you, and really have no intent to take responsibility for ...             To Walk With Lions10 reviews Richard Harris, John Michie 20th Century Fox, 2002 A good script I have just finished watching this video, and I feel that I have not wasted my time. This film is based on the true story of George Adamson. Adamson became famous as the man who set the lioness Elsa free in a film called 'Born Free'. In 'To Walk with Lions' Adamson has become an old and eccentric man who lives to free lions from zoos and circuses. He takes in an English milkman, Tony Fitzroy, who ...             Between the Lions Season 14 reviews Between the Lions Wgbh Boston, 2008 It really does help teach reading I bought this set after purchasing the other DVD sets (The Chap with Caps and more and Hopping Hen and more). I cannot recommend this series enough. It has helped my son to read and he is obsessed with certain episodes such as, Be Pop. It is fun, educational and will not bore you, the adult when watching it. If you are a fan of the Muppets then this show will be good. This series is one ...             The Young Lions38 reviews Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift 20th Century Fox, 2002 A Fresh Look at WWII All too often you watch a movie about WWII and it's a pretty one sided affair as we follow a group of angst ridden GI's as they fight the enemy and each other to save Democracy from the evil German fascists. But every now and again you get a film like the Young Lions which spins the familiar story on its head and shows you that the evil fascist German is also human no matter how wrong the ...             The Wind and the Lion120 reviews Chris Aller, Luis Barboo Warner Home Video, 2004 Strong early 20th C American Woman Meets Strong early 20th C Mideastern Man What a great and timeless movie! Sean Connery and Candace Bergen are a great match; with all their cultural differences and personal strength they find that, although each has met his/her match, they learn to like and respect the other. Brian Keith was a perfect choice for Teddy Roosevelt; he makes you think that it is himself on the screen! This movie is fun and exciting and a great period piece.             Lions For Lambs (Widescreen Edition)92 reviews Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep United Artists, 2008 Presenting Objective Thought Isn't it amazing that when views such as those in this movie are made public, those who prefer to be led by the nosering get defensive.

I haven't had a chance to watch the second movie yet, The Great Dan Patch, but I watched Christian The Lion tonight. If you're an animal lover, this documentary is sure to touch your heart. It takes you through the joys, trials, and sorrows involved in setting up a new pride for the wild. It's beautiful to watch the genuine love and playful affection between Christian and his human companions. If ...             The Lion in Winter190 reviews Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn MGM (Video & DVD), 2001 A stunning portrayal of greed and corruption, and the price we pay for power... Katherine Hepburn is considered one of the greatest actresses to ever grace the big screen. In fact, many of her devoted fans have coined the nickname `Kate the Great' when referencing this cinematic icon. In this day and age of modern cinema being compared to this legend is one of the highest compliments any actress can hope to receive. Sadly, I have not seen many of Hepburn's films and so I ...             Secondhand Lions (New Line Platinum Series)358 reviews Michael Caine, Robert Duvall New Line Home Video, 2004 Wrong Ending There are plenty of excellent reviews of this wonderful movie. I just want to add that the ending of the movie is the wrong one. In the special features the original ending is available. The author/director offers reasons why he deleted the original ending and substituted the new ending. Well, he was wrong. As great a job as he did with the rest of the movie He blew it when he chose to change the ...             National Geographic: Eternal Enemies - Lions and Hyenas15 reviews Powers Boothe Nat'l Geographic Vid, 2006 The Real Lion King This documentary is incredibly well filmed. Years were spent in the dangerous wilds of Africa to bring us this story. The documentary follows a pride of lions and a pack of hyenas. The information it delivers is really amazing. Information about the diet, reproduction habits, social order, behaviors, the range and so much more of these animals is brought to you in excellent video and ...             The Lion King 2 - Simba's Pride (2-Disc Special Edition)239 reviews Matthew Broderick, Moira Kelly Walt Disney Video, 2004 Excellent sequel One of the few sequels that didn't kill the original disney movie. Here, like in the original Lion King shakespeare elements are used. This time Romeo and Juliet instead of Hamlet. The music was excellent and memorable. Emotional and not the crappy canned music in so many other sequels. A movie that I would still watch again and again.             Explore the Wildlife Kingdom Series: Lions - Kings of Africa3 reviews Reel Productions Llc, 2005 This is a great movie on lions I first saw this from a library DVD loan. It was so good that I set out to buy it and put it in my personal library. It IS a good movie on lions, and it in particular follows a certain pride of lions on an African reserve. I must have watched it five or six times in a row when I first got it from the library (Five or six times that night). Now I have ordered it. I am very particular about ...             The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)452 reviews Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick Walt Disney Video, 2003 Everything that looks good, ain't good.
