Love this movie!,

By	Lisa C - See all my reviews

I originally saw this movie in the theatre and loved it so much that I pre-ordered on Amazon. There aren't too many movies that can bring a tear to your eye and make you fall in love with all of the character's, while making you feel like you are experiencing their heartbreak and sharing in their joy. Excellent performance by Hillary Swank and cast.

Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (Unrated Edition)

DVD Movie Store COllection



For those who found 2004's Aliens vs. Predator too lightweight in the gore-and-guns department, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem offers a marked improvement in both categories, as well as a respectable amount of rumbles between the title extraterrestrials. Set in the 21st century (which predates the story to all of the Alien features), Requiem sends a crippled Predator ship crashing to Earth in a small Colorado town; unbeknownst to the locals, the craft is loaded with H.R. Giger's insectoid monsters, which make quick work of most of the population. As the human cast is slowly whittled to a few hardy (if unmemorable) souls, a Predator warrior also arrives to complicate matters and do battle with the Aliens, as well as a ferocious alien-Predator hybrid (dubbed a Predalien by the sci-fi and horror press). Visual-effects designers and music-video helmers The Strause Brothers (who make their feature directorial debut here) keep the action on frantic throughout, which is wise, since the dialogue and characters are threadbare at best; that should matter little to teenage male viewers, who are inarguably the film's key audience. Fans of the Alien franchise, however, may find the offhanded nod to the series' mythology given during the finale its sole saving grace. --Paul Gaita

Cloverfield (2008)

DVD Movie Store



Great on the big screen,

April 24, 2008

By	Adam (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

Cloverfield tends to be met with mixed reviews, but all in all I thought it was a great movie. It is essentially the journey of four New Yorkers through a Manhattan that is under attack by a Godzilla-like monster, taken from the perspective of a handheld camcorder that is carried with. While the actors are far from well known, I feel that it gave the film a genuine feel. Seeing Brad Pitt running around just doesn't make it feel real, honestly. Some people were not fans of the camcorder, as it tends to get a little wild during action sequences, but I think its usage made the film truly unique. It's filmed nearly as live-action--that is, it's like watching your own home video, except with a monster frolicking around.

I definitely recommend this movie. I will say, though, that it is far better to watch in the theaters or on a big screen TV with surround sound. If you're watching it for the first time, a 13-inch TV just doesn't draw you in as well.

As Real As A Film Can Get,

February 24, 2008

By	Paonia Dan (Western Colorado) - See all my reviews

Saw this around Christmas and still think about it. Basically, excellent acting, storyline and script. The eerie part is that it seemed so real ... one gets lost inside this movie quickly. Not a fun film as it descends from one bad move to deeper darker situations. So many mediocre movies being touted today and yet smaller films like this are totally ignored. I call this excellent film making and it is my favorite film from 2007. So where are the nominations? Again, excellent direction, cast efforts and riveting tale of just how wrong things can go.

DVD Movie Store : How I Met Your Mother - Season Two

DVD Movie Store Collection



Another great season of an underrated show,

September 6, 2007

By	A. Gammill (West Point, MS United States) - See all my reviews

Note: This review contains Spoilers. I have to admit, I was a little concerned when the second season began. I mean, having Marshall and Lily break up was kind of a downer. But I'm glad I decided to keep watching, because this year easily contains some of the show's funniest episodes. My wife and I put on "Slap Bet" anytime we need a little pick-me-up. And of course, there's the "Robin Sparkles" episode, in which Cobie Smulders (like the show itself, a criminally-underrated comic actress) really gets a chance to shine. "Swarley" is a Barney Stinson classic. And "Arrivederci, Fiero" may be the biggest laugh-getter of the season.

How I Met Your Mother may never quite achieve Classic Sitcom status. And you know, that's really fine with me. I wouldn't want too much success to go to their heads. But I'll keep watching and laughing myself silly.

DVD Movie Store : The Cary Grant Box Set (Holiday / Only Angels Have Wings / The Talk of the Town / His Girl Friday / The Awful Truth)

Cary Grant Collection,

June 21, 2007

By	John Farr "The Best Movies by Farr" - See all my reviews

No actor epitomizes classical Hollywood cinema like the ultra-suave, thoroughly professional Cary Grant, the leading man's leading man. This box set collects Grant's greatest hits of the late '30s-early '40s, right after he jettisoned his stifling Paramount contract to become a free agent for Columbia and RKO. Acting opposite Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepburn, and Rosalind Russell in the set's three uproarious screwball comedies ("Truth", "Holiday", and "Friday", respectively), Grant shows off his inimitable flair for witty, machine-gun repartee. Only the riveting "Angels" and more cerebral "Talk" (opposite the incomparable Jean Arthur) demonstrate why Hitchcock, among others, found the gentleman star such an appealing straight man. If you adore Cary Grant the way I do, this set is a must-have.

DVD Movie Store : Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred

DVD Movie Store Collection



Excellent :-),

March 13, 2008

By	Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This is a really good workout. It's geared a little more to advanced exercisers, but the choreography is fairly basic and you will definately feel this the next day.
There are three workouts that combine toning and aerobics together which are about a half an hour each. This way, you're burning fat and toning muscles at the same time. It's a little challenging, but fun and effective. The first workout is the easiest of the three and from there it gets more challenging. The most challenging workout is tough like she shows on The Biggest Loser (ie travelling pushups and tough jumps etc). It's a good idea if you're intermediate to begin either at the start or middle and stick to that for a while and then move on. Each workout uses toning, kickboxing and ab work.
I found this really good to do. It's absolutely a good idea to not go too quickly with it and begin at the lower of the three levels even if you do it only a couple of times - you can always advance as soon as you're ready for your next workout. She may not be the best cuer, but she is certainly encouraging and motivating. This is fun and I highly recommend it. I've only done it twice so far since it's so new, but I can still feel my muscles thanking me. This is great.

DVD Movie :The Tudors - The Complete First Season

Inaccurate but wonderful show,

May 27, 2007

By	AkashaReign (FL) - See all my reviews

Completely hooked after first episode. JRM, Henry Cavill, and Maria Kennedy give stellar performances. Absolutely love this show but there are a few inaccuracies, such as combining King Henry's sisters into one, Margaret, whom did not marry Brandon, but sister Mary did and bore his chldren.Henry Fitzroy dying at such a young age when he had a great deal to do with Anne Boleyn's trial was mind blowing. Do not watch this if you believe you are "learning" about the Tudors, it clearly deviates from the truth, but it is an amazing piece of fiction with a gorgeous cast!!!

DVD Movie : Atonement (Widescreen Edition)

Better watch it on big screen,

March 26, 2008

By	Sumant Sumant "Sumant" (New Delhi, India) - See all my reviews

The Atonement is about a precocious young girl who loves to write and one day sees a couple from her bedroom and interprets something entirely different from the real situation. Her misinterpretation causes great suffering to that couple and in the end we realized that she changed the ending to make it happy so as to atone for her mistake. Atonement is very well shot and I am sure it will be nice to watch it on big screen.

Awesome transfer to HD!

DVD Movie : Jeff Dunham - Arguing With Myself (2005)

Laugh until it hurts...,

June 6, 2006

By	N. Caruso "gibsonjunkie" (Bloomfield, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I've been a fan of Dunham for a long time - I saw him live in Orlando in 1992(?) and was fan before that. I knew what to expect, but my wife (who has belly-laughed exactly once since we were married 8 years ago) was totally taken by surprise - she laughed so-o-o hard!!! Dunham is funny, creative and his puppets are so believable you can actually suspend belief and think of them as people. Dunham's wit is great - even off the cuff things like when a member of the audience steps out on a call of nature - Dunham waits until he comes back to continue.... One of the funniest comics you'll ever see...

DVD Movie : Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series

Planet Earth is the "Titanic" of television nature documentaries!,

April 30, 2007

By	Porfie Medina "Porfie Jr. Medina" (Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

Planet Earth was filmed on Seven continents. It took Five years and included a $25 million budget. Planet Earth is such an epic, that it earns comparisons to some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters. I think High Definition Digest said it best "It's the Titanic of television nature documentaries - a work of great majesty, high ambition and huge financial risk (after all, this isn't a genre known for generating huge profits)." David Attenborough's narrates the series and does a great job at it. Planet Earth first started airing as an eleven episode series on the BBC in England late last year, and more recently on the Discovery Channel and Discovery HD here in the United States. With Planet Earth you will see beautiful landscapes of our planet, and amazing animal scenes all which will leave you either breathless, or at times put you on the edge of your seat. How some of these things were even able to be photographed by humans often makes you wonder. If you have a 1080p HD TV I highly encourage you to get the blu-ray or HD-DVD of Planet Earth. Only then will you will really appreciate the beauty of this amazing series.

I had originally purchased the blu-ray of this, but ended up also buying the DVD version of this because of all the bonus material included on it. Sadly the bonus material is not included on the blu-ray or HD-DVD versions.

DVD Movie : Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity (2007)

Funnier Than Previous Dunham Material,

September 27, 2007

By	Stephen R. Finney (Enid, OK USA) - See all my reviews

Spark of Insanity was far funnier than any previous shows in Which I have seen Jeff Dunham and his puppets. Contrary to the one negative opinion I have read about the performance, I didn't have to gauge the reactions of audience members to know when it was time to laugh. It was very funny, and I must say that his tackling an issue, such as terrorism, with comedy, was funnier than I would have even thought it would be. Dunham is a very talented ventriloquist, with a fine sense of comedic timing. I feel sorry for anyone who can't get a laugh out Spark of Insanity, their sense of humor is irreparably broken. Buy it, see it, enjoy it!

DVD Movie : 101 Dalmatians (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)

Sadly never included when reviewing Disney's best work...,

June 15, 2000

By	30atmospheres (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Dalmatians (Limited Issue) (DVD)

I have recently rediscovered 101 Dalmations as my 18 month old son insists on watching it every single day. What has surprised me is that I have not even remotely grown tired of it and it grows in appeal with each watch.

Never really up there when people consider the best Disney animated features - Jungle Book, Snow White etc. usually take the acclaim - I think it is one of the finest and more subtle of the Disney movies.

The story is wonderful and well adapted for a wider audience. Cruella is evil personified and there are great comic moments - slapstick for the kids and cunning wordplay for the adults.

Some of the animation is not of the highest quality - check out some of the snow scenes and they don't quite ring true. But overall the movie has a endearing tone and feel.

One major criticism, as with nearly all Disney and Beuna Vista DVDs, is that there are no good extras. What is the point of this excellent new format if idiots in huge companies don't use it to its full potential?

Retail Music Store : Enchanted

Enchanted is Enchanting,

March 11, 2008

By	Karen Joan "Siren" (Texas) - See all my reviews

Disney did this one right. Enchanted is fun-filled family entertainment for children of all ages. This is a new take on an old fairy tale, where the real world and the animated world collide in, you guessed it, New York City.

This story is Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast all rolled into one. Think hidden cottage in the woods with woodland friends, a heroic rescue, an evil stepmother, a handsome prince, a glass slipper, an old hag, a wishing well, a poisoned apple, a grand waltz, true love's first kiss - you name it, Enchanted has it. And it all works.

DVD Movie : I Am Legend [Blu-ray]

Man's Best Friend,

March 14, 2008

By	Mistress Jennifer "progrog" (maine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am Legend (Full-Screen Edition) (DVD)

I gave this movie 5 stars based on the interaction between Will Smith's character and his dog. The potrayal of this relationship by Will Smith is some of the best acting I have observed in a movie. To not pick up on that is to miss the best part of the movie. I credit the premise for going against the typical man and woman action delivery of most movies. Will Smith's development and potrayal of the relationship between his character and the characters dog is one of the most underated/overlooked performances of the 2007.

DVD Movie : No Country for Old Men

The Coen brothers make their finest thriller since Fargo with a restrained adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel. Not that there aren't moments of intense violence, but No Country for Old Men is their quietest, most existential film yet. In this modern-day Western, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is a Vietnam vet who could use a break. One morning while hunting antelope, he spies several trucks surrounded by dead bodies (both human and canine). In examining the site, he finds a case filled with $2 million. Moss takes it with him, tells his wife (Kelly Macdonald) he's going away for awhile, and hits the road until he can determine his next move. On the way from El Paso to Mexico, he discovers he's being followed by ex-special ops agent Chigurh (an eerily calm Javier Bardem). Chigurh's weapon of choice is a cattle gun, and he uses it on everyone who gets in his way--or loses a coin toss (as far as he's concerned, bad luck is grounds for death). Just as Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a World War II vet, is on Moss's trail, Chigurh's former colleague, Wells (Woody Harrelson), is on his. For most of the movie, Moss remains one step ahead of his nemesis. Both men are clever and resourceful--except Moss has a conscious, Chigurh does not (he is, as McCarthy puts it, "a prophet of destruction"). At times, the film plays like an old horror movie, with Chigurh as its lumbering Frankenstein monster. Like the taciturn terminator, No Country for Old Men doesn't move quickly, but the tension never dissipates. This minimalist masterwork represents Joel and Ethan Coen and their entire cast, particularly Brolin and Jones, at the peak of their powers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
