Decent
Started kind've slow but then got interesting. Movie is part 1 of a 3 part trilogy and sets up for the next one....if there will be one. Movie got a bad rap worldwide due to the possible "religious" aspects of it etc...remember it is FICTION! Anyway, the polar bear scene is pretty sweet and looks good on bluray.

THE BATTLE OF WORLDVIEWS!!
First of all, this Criterion-restored version is a great quality picture, clean and crisp. Second, it is a movie with an ulterior motive, that of getting the then-neutral USA into the war. While I don't think it detracts from the entertainment merits, some people do. The story begins with a German U-Boat somewhere in the northern part of Canada. It destroys a Canadian cargo ship and then refuses ...

See you in three weeks
"Journey to the far side of the Sun" is almost unique in SciFi films - fondly remembered from the last time I watched it, probably 20yrs ago on British TV - it's almost pure cheese, but sublime, magnificent, exquisitely produced cheese of the finest vintage!!! This is a B film that - no pun intended - reaches for the stars, that aspires to cinematic greatness, and the fact that it fails to reach ...

This show is hilariously real. It takes every day events and stereotypes, and puts them into truly amusing situations

THIS MOVIE ROCKS!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from the edge of my seat! I want a part two! I want more! The soundtrack rocked, the story rocked, the actors rocked! This movie totally rocked, man! A must have for any collector of the Science Fiction movie genre. By the way, this was the first movie I ever saw Jet Li in. I am now a huge fan of his and not just because I weigh close to 300 pounds.

AN AMAZING GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY
I agree with the previous reviewer that LOST WORLDS gives you a great value for your money. I bought the series based on that review and was pleased I did. If you are a history buff, LOST WORLDS is a must for your DVD collection. I was particularly fascinated by the World War II era stories - HITLER'S SUPERCITY and SECRET CITIES OF THE A-BOMB. Historians take us on a journey of secret and ...

exquisite pain
After watching this film, i have a new appreciation for maxi-pads, scurvy, and doughnuts. If you enjoy seeing others in awkward uncomfortable social situations with minimal plot drama (think Napolean Dynamite), i think you'll like this movie too. I love this movie for it's dry documentary humor about a dysfunctional, family-ish super hero group. My sister who prefers intellectual humor & ...

R.E.M. Does not Disappoint
As there is a fairly comprehensive review of the videos included on this disk, I will limit my comments to the added features of the DVD that have been overlooked. I am a huge fan of the R.E.M. DVD collection. I like loading the DVD changer with all the DVDs and letting them play during gathering/parties as the range of emotions and conversation pieces that come up through the videos is enormous. ...

James Ray International, 2007

a little bloated with hype
I agree with the other reviews so far - he is FULL of enthusiasm and really gets you going...but the whole time watching this I felt like "what's the catch?" And so at the end - you do indeed realize that it is a long form pitch for his weekend long seminar. That said, there IS still a great deal of info to be gained from this video - so it is NOT a total waste at all!! When it was over I wanted ...

the 4th dimension
This movie has the most awesome cinematography, filmed mostly in black and white, and a haunting lead character who carries his role so well that you'll find yourself in the scenes with him. The feel of the movie reminded me a lot of "Donny Darko." Nearly as significant as the movie are the "Special Features," that I feel are a necessary addition to the story, yet, are not to be a part of the ...

We all have a story to tell and each one is unique
Filmmaker Nina Davenport, a native of New York, was in San Diego, California on business during the attacks of September 11, 2001. In November, ready to return home, she was understandably nervous about flying so soon after the tragedy so she decided to drive cross-country for the trip back. During her travels, she records all her visits with the strangers she meets and gets their views on the ...
