The Tudors - The Complete First Season

228 reviews
Steven Waddington, Perdita Weeks

Showtime Ent., 2008

Amazing and Addicting!
I love this period of history, I studied it in master's school. This is a great series and I cannot wait till season 2 comes out on DVD. Do not expect this to be historically accurate because it is not. Although in season 2 they get a little bit better with following history. Nonetheless, this is entertaining and Jonathan Rys Myers is amazing as Henry VIII, even if he doesn't really look like ...

The Stepford Wives

Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss

Paramount, 2004

The Stepford Wives is an American Classic
I love this film. This is film-making at its American Classic best. There is so much depth to this film. And the subtleties are amazing. I've seen it more than once and it really does have a lot of layers. Maybe, as a previous review indicated, it seems slow-paced compared to the movies we're accustomed to seeing now. However, if you watch closely there are a lot of things that are revealed but ...

Army Wives

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2008

I'm a guy who likes Army Wives
While the first season was airing, I saw previews for Army Wives and laughed. No way was I going to watch that show. Well, my fiance had me watch an episode at the beginning of season 2. I thought I would watch, not expecting to like it. Then I watched another episode, then another. I was hooked quickly. This show keeps conflict and interest in the characters high. I had to buy season 1 on ...

The First Wives Club Review
I love this movie. Great story, great cast. It's heartbreaking, it's really funny, and the music is good, too.

A Letter to Three Wives

60 reviews
Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell

20th Century Fox, 2005

All star cast
I love this movie with so many movie stars. It has a different twist to the plot and you don't know until the end who Addie has run off with. If you like old movies, this is a good one.

The Elizabeth Gaskell Collection (Wives and Daughters / Cranford / North and South)

Daniela Denby-Ashe, Richard Armitage

BBC Warner, 2008

Three Great Productions
All three of these shows are so good, you'll be glad to have them on hand to watch again and again. (And in such a compact package that saves shelf space!) North and South gets my nod as the best, but the other two are fantastic as well. Each contains several performances that are marvels of acting--Michael Gambon and Francesca Annis in Wives and Daughters; practically the whole cast of ...

Big Love - The Complete First Season

Big Love

Hbo Home Video, 2006

fantastic series
I became interested in the Mormon religion after reading Jon Krakauer's book. This series was also mentioned in Stephen Sinclair's book, "When Men Became Gods." For any Brits out there, these DVDs are worth getting from Amazon dot com. A fascinating story, and superb performances from all the actors involved. HBO has produced an absolutely fantastic series here.

The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Sue Bishop, Richard Burnett

BBC Warner, 2006

Engrossing History
From start to finish, the story of Henry VII is played out so well that you can't wait to see the next episode. Engrossing, historically accurate, and portrayed by the finest of English actors.I have rarely been so engrossed in a series.I am not going into each episode because most know the story. And for those who don't, you will enjoy this production even more while learning...HISTORY, Heaven ...

Wives and Daughters

Justine Waddell, Bill Paterson

BBC Warner, 2006

Entertaining!
There are three DVD's in this package and I wished that the story would have never ended. I would have loved to have had more to watch! (The one DVD is of the making of the series.) The directors and screen writers did an excellant job with this movie. It was made for TV, so there are breaks in the movie but this can be useful if you want to watch it over several days. Enjoy it.

David Starkey

Bfs Entertainment, 2002

Review of Wives of Henry Viii
Dr.Starkey's narrative is a wonderful combination of historical facts presented on a background of good acting, beautiful period costuming, and accurate physical locations. It was also very intersting to me to see his use of original documents (letters and decrees). I had seen the series on PBS, but always fell asleep at some critical point. Having the DVD at my disposal at home didn't keep me ...

Footballers Wives - The Complete Third Season

Capital Ent Inc, 2006

Tanya!
It is ALL about Tanya. Notice any resemblance to Victoria Beckham? Annoyed that Amazon does not carry episode 4 & 5. Feel like I am left hanging.

Husbands and Wives

32 reviews
Woody Allen, Blythe Danner

Sony Pictures, 2002

Woody Allen's Scenes from a Marriage.
Complicated relationships (Annie Hall) and the romantic folly of May-December relationships (Manhattan) are familiar themes in Woody Allen's movies. His films confront the subject relationships with a depth not typically found in Hollywood releases. Allen's 1992 film, Husbands and Wives is a perfect example. Shot in cinéma-vérité-style, the film tells the "bleakly nihilistic" story of two ...

Hot Wives Club

Trinity Home Ent, 2004

Not Bad for Being Cheap
This movie is cheap. The price is cheap, but the production is cheap too. I think they filmed it with a digital camera you can buy yourself. The internet film "Freddy vs. Ghostbusters" had better production values. With all of that said, it wasn't too bad. Allysin Chaynes, aka Karen Bond, stars in the softcore romp. The format for all of this company's releases is the same. They take the ...

Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick

Paramount, 2004

Goofy
I heard that this remake was terrible, but finally caught it on TV and found myself laughing more than most comedies. I loved Kidman and Midler's neurotic characterizations. A lot of the jokes/cuts were cheap but still worked in the context of a low comedy that was just fun and seemed not to pretend to be much more. Okay, sure, what a risk to remake an iconic serious "horror" film and social ...

CAPITAL ENTERTAINMENT ENTERPRISES, 2006

Great First Season!
A great show! Those Brits know how to make TV shows entertaining and interesting. Highly recommend this show to anyone who likes evening soap operas. The stories are fast paced and full of wild stories. Think of a sleazier version of "Dallas".

Rodney Dangerfield, Andrew Dice Clay

My Five Wives
This is one of Dangerfield's funniest movies. I could watch this over and over again and laugh just as hard as the first time.

DVD arrived on time. I haven't watched it yet but it looks like it's in good condition.

Great Flic
A lot of skin in this one plus added bonus of the very sexy Friday makes this a very enjoyable watch.

Orchestra Wives

27 reviews
George Montgomery, Ann Rutherford

20th Century Fox, 2005

what a fun little film!
The appeal to purchase this unknown (to me) title was the real Glenn Miller and his band. And seeing him in this movie would have been enough. But the numbers are fun to watch and the music's a treat. The real-deal sax/singer, drummer, and others makes it more interesting. Cesar Romero's playful banter with the honest butch George Montgomery (never seen him before) is a good time. George ...
