You've Never Seen Lonesome Dove Like This!
I pre-ordered this Blu-ray disc when I saw that it was going to be available. I was sceptical as to how much better it would actually be than the DVD version that I already owned. Let me tell you, it is COMPLETELY different. Seriously, the clarity, film quality and Dolby 5.1 surround make this Blu-ray a MUST HAVE for any fan of this Western epic! It is in widescreen for the first time, and ...

Mayer Rides Again
I've been lucky enough to see Mayer in concert. Add to that a couple appearances on Austin City Limits and two at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festivals. For a little variety, throw in an appearance with Brad Paisley on CMT's Crossroads. Mayer never disappoints and never ceases to surprise. It would be easy to dismiss him as a purveyor of commercial accoustic romantic ballads if the only ...

Even In The Dirtiest Of Species
It's kind of hard to describe why I loved this movie; I shouldn't be surprised at all to find that I appreciated a Pixar or Brad Bird movie so much, but considering that it stars one of the more disgusting and vile creatures on the planet, I was surprised at just how enjoyable and touching the movie is. What's impressive is that considering it's basically about a rat romping around a French ...

Batman In Japan
Warner Brothers did this season of the famous Batman animated series as a Japanese anime. For the most part, it is a great season. The reason? Cos it was kind of like Doctor Who, in that it didn't have too many floppy episodes, but even when it did, they didn't necessarilly suck. But looking at some of the great ones, you can't help but love the good storylines and superior animation. The Joker ...

A Number 1 Movie!!
I love the songs, dances and drama! It's funny and sad, all at the same time. I'm glad they used new people, not Miley Cyrus or those kind. I think Demi Lavato and the Jonas Brothers did a fantastic job! The movie to me is excellent. If you have not seen this movie, then watch it the next time it comes on or buy the soundtrack or movie when it comes out August 19, 2008.

Batman: is an excellent adventure cartoon series
I have got the first two series and I found them interesting and exciting and the animation is very well done and look very realistic and the voice actors for the characters are on par Kevin Conroy by this time was getting more confident with peoviding the voice for both Bruce Wayne/ Batman and Effrem Zimbelist Jr for Alfred was also supurb because he wasn't the first choice for the character. ...

WOW!!!!!
How good can a home theater DVD get! This is everything a Blade Runner wanted AND MORE! 4 versions of the film in various cuts! The bonus material alone is like, all the nitty-grittys you always wanted to know! And Japanese subtitles! (I live in Japan and Japanese is my first language) Now, all I need is that Blu-ray player! Thank you PKD, Ricdley Scott and WB!

A&E Home Video, 2001

Best Video Version of the Book Ever
This is an excellent version of Pride and Prejudice. Follows the book closely and does not omit huge sections to save time. Colin Furth is Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle the perfect Elizbeth. Well worth owning if you are a fan of Jane Austin.

GREAT!!!
It was GREAT to be able to see Disney's Little Mermaid again. My daughter absolutely loved this movie when she was little. She's almost 21 now and I found this DVD on Amazon. We were able to sit and watch it again like when she was a little girl. It was a very special moment to share with her. Thanks a miliion.

Who's Crazy enough to pay over $20 more for "extras"
I must admit, sure I'd love to have the extras that Time-Life has for this series, but for the price they are selling Season 1 for I can purchase the next season (assuming the price remains the same) and then some! If you bought "Get Smart Season 1" during the first week of release it is $16.99, the Time Life series sells for $39.99 a season. To pay that amount for bloopers, behind the scenes, ...

Wonderful Video
This movie was very inspiring and uplifting and led me to read the book also....gives a great understanding of The Law of Attraction and I continued with Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook and followed up with their recipes (exercises) that reinforces the principle.. Recommend this book also.

Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It is always the first request on movie night for my girls. Everytime I watch this film I appreciate it in a new way.The story is ...

The best Disney movie since the Lion King
Everyone has seen Disney's downward spiral and many badly written, stupid or generally crappy Disney movies, but Finding Nemo is probably one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. This is sweet, exciting, funny, touching, and everything a Disney movie should be.

Great, Great, Great...
This film is a creative unpacking of the Sixties. The characters in the film are named after various characters found in music of the Beatles. Each scene builds on the previous integrating a compact history of the counter culture rebellion, the Vietnam War, and the music that defined a generation of activists, dropouts, artists, hippies, and recalcitrant non-conformists. My guess is this is a ...

I admit it; I'm still a fan of the Rolling Stones!
This is a fascinating "live concert" movie. Martin Scorsese, who also directed The Band's "The Last Waltz," does a nice job of simply capturing the spirit of this concert. There is a gritty reality to this concert and ancillary material; it is clear to all viewers that the Rolling Stones have lived a long time, as their age shows on their faces. The fact that they can still rock and roll is ...

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 ...

This Is How All Blu-Ray Discs Should Look
This Film is not only one of the best examples of a comic book character coming to the big screen, but it also is an amazing example of what blu ray can do. I personally have a playstation 3 as my blu-ray player and it plays through a 52" 1080i Plasma TV, and while I do not have surround sound, this film has been the highest quality of the 30 some blu-ray discs I have seen. The lack of grains ...
