THe Boss - Simply as that!!!!
Thanks Bruce - actually my days should have additional three hours so I could begin everyday with that concert. I said before after attending several of your concerts - your music and your performances together with the fabulous E-Street Band give me strength. You always have been and always will be my working class saint! I love you man!

Glee: Season One, Vol. 1 - Road to Sectionals

Worth your time
I hadn't watched Glee until it was recommended to me by my 30 year old son. I bought it and watched it in one sitting, non stop. A great mix of wonderfully performed musical numbers, great humor and enough of modern hypercritical, me, mine, sniveling authority figures to make you want to move to an island in the ocean somewhere. In other words, watch it, it is worth your time.

great show
I saw them (U2) in Chicago theres nothing like a live show, but for concert footage, this was a great production. the blue ray makes the video pop, and the audio is great. Glad I bought it.

The Princess and the Frog (Single Disc Widescreen)

a beautifully rendered family film--and a triumph for Disney
The Princess and the Frog is a superbly animated, imaginative family film that shows what Disney can still accomplish with good old 2-D, hand drawn animation to tell a powerful and emotional story. The plot moves along at a very good pace yet there's still room for plenty of character development; and the decisions of which actor or actress should voice which part on screen were thoughtfully ...

The "Back 9".
"Glee" was a risky proposition when it debuted: the musical format had never really worked before on TV ("Fame" the arguable exception), despite many, many attempts (indeed, the musical genre as a whole has declined somewhat outside of theatre, though the 2000s saw a resurgence on film). But it did work here, and the show's original thirteen-episode commitment (collected in "Glee: Season One, ...

Great concert
If you like u2 and like having this type of DVD is a must have in your collection. One of the best concert ever. Play list is great, it had almost all the great songs. Visually amazing. The concert had around 100K in the stadium and that energy is on the DVD. 3 words for you: BUY BUY BUY =)

The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

653 reviews
Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Terrific film, terrific disc. Please, Disney, put this back in print!
From an adult audience perspective: Highly entertaining, funny, and ultimately quite moving. It manages to be digestible for kids, but meaty enough for anyone older. Some great voicing -- especially by Jeremy Irons. The songs are good, and most of the animation is quite beautiful. It has its occasional sappy moments, and the basic plot is old as the hills, but its all done very, ...

Just what I expected. The DVD played fine. It had a few minor scratches that did not affect the performance.

Stirring story of Independence
William Daniels (the voice of the talking car on "Night Rider") stars as John Adams in this rousing musical recreation of the weeks leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Adams is considered obnoxious and unlikable by all the other delegates of the Continental Congress, so his plea for independence falls on deaf ears. He finally wins most of the southern states to his ...

How do you get to wonderland?
For all my reviews visit my website [...] I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movie unless otherwise stated. Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review. Well, the answer to that question, is have a child, or be a child. They say "Over the Hill." Well, that's just a child's way of putting it like ...

Awesome Classic!
Finally I could locate this movie on DVD - only had it on VHS. It is a timeless classic. I read the book and saw the movie (on VHS) as a kid and love it. I think it is more kid appropriate than the newer version. My daughter who is 3 watches it over and over and over ....

First Class Fantasy!!!
Loved this film. I have the Collectors Edition and know nothing about Bluray, though it seems there are many reviews that talk more about Bluray and techy stuff than about the story. I don't have bluray, and my DVD is just fine! I very much enjoyed the 2nd disc Collectors Edition, and the discussions with Spielberg, the editors, artists, musicians, actors and others who made this such an ...

We couldn't be happier! Not only did it come early but it is just as they said, New the price was phanominal. Don't hesitate to purchase from these people. I know that when it is time for more movies I will check with them first!

I enjoyed this movie immensely. You think you've seen it all before. That's true, but it takes on a new meaning each time you watch it as you evolve!

Our Beloved Mary Poppins!
Mary Poppins (45th Anniversary Special Edition) It was a joy to have my six year old grandson put down his Guns, Light Sabers, and Star Wars Battle gear for a while to actually sit down and watch Mary Poppins with his little sister and I. He laughed and sang right along with us. I also noticed how calm and happy he was afterward.
