I'd love to see a remake of this movie.
I saw this the first time when I was a kid. Amazing still after all these years. The special effects were pretty good for the time. The story kicks butt. A must see for those into action/adventure/fantasy. Medussa should get her own movie. She rocks. Recommended!

GREAT MOVIE!
This movie is awesome. From the very begining it is fast-paced(but not to fast)and breathtaking. With great actors, a wonderful plot, and amazing battle scenes, it will quench your thirst for a...um...thirst-quenching fantasy!

Rulers of Rome: the Good and the Evil
This series is a fascinating look at the tremendous heights of empirical glory and despotism that kicked off the Roman Empire. From the brilliant government of Augustus to the mad and criminal excesses of Caligula the early years of the Roman Empire are brought to life in brilliant detail and color through the eyes of the wretched Claudius. Ignored, ridiculed and despised for his limp and his ...

Part 3 in the Epic Trilogy!!!
I love The Return of the King a lot better than the theatrical version, because a lot of really awesome things were left out, like Saruman's cameo, more battle sequences, and a more overall satisfaction to the trilogy! It it extremely long, 250 minutes! If you need to know the story, here's my version; The film begins with how Smeagol became Gollum. Later, we see Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, ...

lonesome dove - blu-ray
My all-time favorite movie series. I started with vhs format to dvd and now on Blu-Ray. It makes viewing the best you could ask for. Duvall & Jones paired together in this series have no equal. The closet second would be Duvall & Costner in Open Range.

A solid rendering -- full-screen version
For fantasy movie fans this one is a big winner. It's Merlin's story, told in retrospect by the old necromancer himself. The casting is near perfect, the scenery and sets are superb, the cinematography is terrific, and the story continuity is quite coherent, (the latter of which is a big problem in the subsequent "Merlin's Apprentice"). Merlin is "all good" in a time and place where ...

Good Movie!
This is a really good movie. I have been a 'Lord of the Rings' fan for a really long time. I love the books, I love the soundtracks, and I love the movies. I think this is an amazing opening for a series, it`s so witty, creative, and fun. Good movie...really worth watching.

Not Up To Your Standards?
Maybe that's because it's a movie for little kids you twit. I didn't intend to review this but I see all these jack*ffs slamming a children's cartoon and I just had to say something. "What do you get when you mix TH White and Disney and BLAH BLAH DIDDLEY BLEH!" Oh you witty rascal you. Shut up. Just shut up.

Claimed at birth by the wizard Merlin and raised as the son of good Sir Ector, Arthur grows up to be a wiser man than his father, though still greatly swayed by emotion over logic.

If you loved 'The Lord of the Rings'.........
LOTR fans will plug right in to this 1981 film! Here we have sorcerers, dragons, rotten old kings, and VIRGINS (to be sacrificed!) *.* A very Dark Ages village must periodically sacrifice one of its beautiful young virgins to a local trouble-making dragon. The King conducts a lottery, as needed, in the village to determine who the unlucky gal is to be for each sacrifice. An assemblage ...

Very accessible with a broad appeal, deeply influential in bringing asian style to western films. . .. . .
Now, I know a lot of people don't love this movie. But hear me out before you disagree. I acknowledge that this film was made with a western audience in mind. That means that as a typical wuxia film it is watered-down by comparison. It was also apparent that they tried to do a lot with the script, probably too much, so as to please the arthouse crowd. Because of those things I can't review it ...

Monsters! Monsters! Monsters!
With most boxed sets, the DVDs are linked by an actor (like Errol Flynn), director (like Sergio Leone) or genre (such as noir). It is rare to see sets with something else in common, but this is the case with The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen. While I suppose it could be argued that these are related because they are fantasy movies, in truth, it is Harryhausen who unites them: there aren't ...

Third installment of a trilogy. Don't miss it!
Back in the 1840's the State Texas was known as the Texas Republic, a harsh environment where several cultures clashed: Apache and Comanche, Anglos and Hispanics, for the most part, Mexicans. The battle over land, water and resources was furious, the spirit of these men as they set out to conquer, indomitable. The Texas Rangers were members of a law enforcement agency that investigated crimes ...

Great!
This is a movie I grew up watching, so being able to find it on DVD, and for such a low price,was fantastic. Maybe not a great movie per se, but it appealed to my nostalgia. Fast shipping and great service, as always.

Solid historical epic on 2nd century Rome.
A very enjoyable movie with good period detail and enough history to be well above the typical sword and sandal movie.

Technicolor Treasure
Why did they ever stop using technicolor film? Some of the best old movies (Gone With the Wind, Ten Commandments, Wizard of Oz) stand the test of time because of the exceptional color that made costumes, scenery, and people seem to leap off the screen. The Black Swan is a visual treat: lots of color and beauty, not only on handsome Tyrone Power and beautiful Maureen O'Hara, but also in ...
