DVD: past     DVD:       Origin - Spirits of the Past: The Movie20 reviews Carrie Savage Funimation, 2007 Adequate ecofable The setting seems familiar. On after-the-crash earth, orbited by a shattered moon, the remnants of humankind have split. The forest-dwelling druids take their place at one pole of the dichotomy. Mechanized warmongers stand at the other pole, barely able to breath because of the smoke that belches from rows of chimneys. (Sound familiar?) A young couple in love tries to reach across that bottomless ...             Blast From the Past166 reviews Steve Bean, Dave Foley New Line Home Video, 1999 A fun what if Back in the 60's we had the threat of nuclear war. Many people built fallout shelters. While most shelters were just holes in the ground, Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) went all out and builds an environment to sustain his "family to be" for the duration. Due to a series of mishaps they are convinced that the war is taking place and descend to their underground abode. There they raise their ...             Out of the Past: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Rights in America13 reviews Stephen Spinella, Gwyneth Paltrow Allumination, 2005 Real Pride "OUT OF THE PAST" Real Pride Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride "Out of the Past" is one of those movies that almost defy description. I am not sure what it is exactly/ it appears to be a documentary which I suppose is the only classification into which it will fit. I found it to be a sincere retelling of gay and lesbian history from the beginnings of the struggle for equal rights but ...             Half Past Dead [Blu-ray] Stephen J. Cannell, Morris Chestnut Sony Pictures, 2008             Out of the Past66 reviews Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer Turner Home Ent, 2004 A Timeless Film Noir Classic For anyone who has interest in the Film Noir genre of film, this movie is the first one you should see. It is the classic Film Noir that many critics compare others to. It has all of the classic plot lines, the detective, the femme fatale, and the villian. This film actually has a more complex plot than many of the same type like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, and Chinatown; however, it is ...             Babylon: Past, Present, and Future Vision Video, 2006 Bible history and prophecy depict Babylon as a social, economic and religious power. The Bible portrays Babylon as a woman riding a seven-headed, 10-horned beast described as "Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth." (Revelation 17:5). Babylon has fascinated countless people over the centuries. But its story is an important one for Christians living today. Discover the common thread that weaves ...             Half Past Dead61 reviews Matt Battaglia, Wiliam T. Bowers Sony Pictures, 2003 Way Past Cool I'll let it be known right away: I like "Half Past Dead" mainly because it has Steven Seagal in it. This tends to make casual viewers like a film even less than they might otherwise, but as someone raised on the man's DTV debacles, I found "Dead" a surprisingly exhilarating departure from the repetitive wrist-snapping, stale shootouts, and predictable storylines of the majority of the aikido ...             Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 1 (The Asphalt Jungle / Gun Crazy / Murder My Sweet / Out of the Past / ...26 reviews Robert Ryan, Audrey Totter Warner Home Video, 2004 "You're not a detective, you're a slot machine. You'd slit your own throat for six bits plus tax." From Warner Home Video comes the Film Noir Classic Collection, Volume 1, featuring, in no particular order, the following films... The Asphalt Jungle (1950), directed by John Huston and starring Sterling Hayden as a streetwise hooligan hired on as muscle for a big-time heist, caught in the middle when things go seriously sour. The picture, presented in fullscreen (1.33:1), looks very good, ...             Shooting the Past17 reviews Lindsay Duncan, Timothy Spall BBC Warner, 2006 The Best of the Best Shooting the Past is a British national treasure. I saw it a few years ago, videotaped it (badly) and forced my whole family to watch it. All loved it. I am so grateful to now have a decent copy of it. I hope, hope, hope they put it out in DVD. The other reviews have covered the plot and characterization, which are superb. You'll think twice before you throw away any pictures in the future. ...             The Man Without a Past27 reviews Markku Peltola, Kati Outinen Sony Pictures, 2003 True Finland. If you have not been in Finland, this movie will not make you to go there. If you have been in Finland, this will show you some more of it. Hidden places around and inside lost finnish man. Movie is great, but it is not for everybody. Just like sauna with subsequent dip into ice-hole. If you prefer shower instead, this one is not for you.             The Man Without A Past (DVD) Bavaria Film, 2003 Hilarious!             Christmas Past - Vintage Holiday Films11 reviews Henry B. Walthall, Marion Leonard Kino Video, 2002 Great Piece of Americana This is one of those rare oppurtunities to see some obscure images from a time long, long ago. With the exception of perhaps one episode, most of the players are unknown people who gave their interpretation of a Christmas story. I felt like I was looking through a time machine, and the feeling of great nostalgia came over me. These are Christmas stories from the past presented by people who ...             The Ghost of Dickens' Past4 reviews Christopher Heyerdahl, Jane Gilchrist Bonneville Ent., 2004 Dickens Comes To Life I came across this movie quite by accident and I'm sure glad I did! Being a student of Dickens and Victorian England in general, this film has to be one of the most accurate portrayals of 1840's London that I have seen. It's as if someone took a camera and found a portal into the past! The clothing and hair styles are perfect for the time period represented (1843), as is the old time dialogue ...             Jethro Tull - Living with the Past61 reviews Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson Varese Sarabande, 2002 A "Must Have" for Fans This is a superb DVD. No corners were cut in the making of this DVD... as songs are seen in their entirety and there are no oddball interuptions as I have seen on countless other music DVD's. If you are a fan (even a casual one) of Jethro Tull, you will enjoy this DVD over and over again. The choice of songs is well-balanced.             Half Past Autumn - The Life and Works of Gordon Parks1 review Alfre Woodard, Gordon Parks Hbo Home Video, 2006 Half Past Amazing This is quite a look into the amazing life and art of Gordon Parks, an American Treasure. Like the works of Parks, this documentary is beautifully filmed and narrated. And by the time the film ends, you wish it would just go on and on. Just the way you feel about the amazing life of Gordon Parks.             Half Past Dead 25 reviews Bill Goldberg, Angell Conwell Sony Pictures, 2007 KURUPT HALF PAST DEAD 2 I `am sure everybody that has read any of my other reviews knows exactly why I got this film, KURUPT. I've been a fan of Kurupt ever since The Chronic from Dr Dre and it comes as no surprise that the main reason this film is good is because of Kurupt. Of course being that I am also a fan of wrestling and liked all his other work in film Bill Goldberg was also a nice ...             Greece - Secrets of the Past (IMAX)11 reviews Christos Doumas, Nia Vardalos Image Entertainment, 2006 Very well done I just returned from living in Athens for four years and wanted something to remember Greece by. This is a wonderful video. It takes you there to the sites on Santorini and around Greece. The aerial vantage adds to the beauty. It is what I remember and want to remember.             Decoding The Past - Secrets Of The Koran (Part 1 & 2) Decoding the Past - Secrets of the Koran (Parts 1 & 2) SECRETS OF THE KORAN, PART 1 The Koran--one of the most influential religious books of all time. Muslims worldwide believe the Koran is God's guidance, a sourcebook to help believers follow the right path. But much of the non-Muslim world sees the Koran as a text shrouded in mystery and controversy. We'll attempt to demystify and explain the text: where it came from, what it says, and what ...             Tit Queens of the Past, Vol. 7 Michelle Angelo, Virginia Bell Retro Strippers, 2008             Decoding the Past - Secrets of the Koran (History Channel)6 reviews A&E Home Video, 2006 Introductions to the message and Messenger of Islam I'm very pleased with this DVD, which actually contains two programs: "Secrets of the Koran" and, as a bonus feature, "Muhammad" from A&E's "Biography" series. I've been using excerpts from both of these programs in teaching undergraduate courses on world religions. Both programs honor the Muslim tradition of not depicting Muhammad or members of his immediate family.
