(Road Warrior starring Mel Gibson) (LAst of the Mohicans) (Buy a Prius, or this could be the future.) (never got the item!!!) One word to describe this movie, AWSOME! I never write reviews, but I had to do this justice. Gret special affects acting and plot. Yes the transfer is grainey and kinda bad, but that kinda makes it look cooler and like your waching it in the 80's If you've never seen mad max, watch it first so you can enjoy this one fully. But, whatever you do, DON'T WATCH BEYOND THUNDERDOME IT SUCKS, BUT THIS MOVIE IS AWSOME! Do yourself a favor and watch it! This was the very first movie I purchased on DVD format when DVD's came out. The reason is because this movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. To this day I still have my original copy from way back when, ... I never had to replace it. The Road Warrior is a action packed science fiction movie about mans struggle to get gasoline in the future. It involves a sort of battle between the good and the evil in the process of doing this. This is one of Mel Gibson's finest and more iconic pieces of work without any doubt. The script, costumes and stage sets are fantastic. All the detail is there. The cast of actors working with Mel Gibson in this film is also top notch and perfectly fitted to the theme of the film. Beautifully done. I've owned my copy of this movie for years and years, ... yet every time I sit down to watch it, it's like watching it for the first time. This is a film that will be around long after even the Blu-Rays fade out too. Probably even longer than that. It goes without saying this film was a great success. For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, I highly recommend that you do. I truly feel it's a work of filming art. That doesn't happen too often. Reporter Joseph Toth Washington Micro Bank BBS I watched it. The transfer was good. Spoiler alert The road warrior wins. In this post apocalyptic wasteland, one man is searching for something. Fuel. Yes, after the world blows itself up and civilization collapses, one man has the courage to put the pedal to the metal and stop anything that gets in his way. Im going to be honest, I wish my life was as tight as this movie. I purchased THE ROAD WARRIOR from Amazon over a month ago, at the end of February, and have STILL NOT RECEIVED IT!!!! What the hell is going on with it? Numerous e-mails I've sent have gone unanswered... this is beyond ridiculous... don't even know what to do about this anymore... A strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like theStar Warstrilogy (by that other George) theMad Maxfilms draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But when a leather-clad gang of sadomasochistic speed demons mows down Max's family, his remaining connections to humanity are also permanently severed. After brutally exacting his revenge, Max wanders off into the wasteland alone, "a burned out shell of a man" who (to paraphraseThe Searchers) is destined to wander forever between the winds. InThe Road Warrior, Max rediscovers a sliver of his shattered humanity, and a spark of redemption, when he helps an embattled colony of pioneers fight off the savages who are after that most precious of all commodities: "guzzline." Max is transformed into a legendary hero, just as Mel Gibson was catapulted to international movie stardom. With its final stirring images,The Road Warriortranscends its genre (whatever that may be--science fiction? Western? action adventure?) and becomes something timeless.

(ITS ABOUT CHRISTOPHER WALKEN STUPID!!!) (Hail to Eric Roberts) Angels can't drive and can't work computers--clearly not made for our world. Memorable line (from an angel-created zombie): "you're keeping me alive because you can't do DOS?!" It's all pretty funny from the right perspective, and Christopher Walken makes it work, but it's not as good as the 1st and 3rd in the series of 3. Question: how did Michael manage to hide those wings in bed? ;-> i LOVED RHIS MOVIE. AGAIN GOOD VS EVIL. GOOD PREVAILS. BUT A VERY INTEREST COURSE OF EVENTS LEADING UP TO IT. JM I just recently seen the first one and I think the plot was just crap. Me being a Danzig fan, I watched this whole movie and he was only in this for what seems like two seconds. I passed him the first time I watched the movie because the seen he is in is very dark and very short. Not a movie I would buy but a rent if your in the mood for something dark. It doesnt matter what these Prophecy movies are really written about! the plots while interesting are secondary to the real reason these films exist!! It is infact a showcase for the brilliant humor of Christopher Walken! Watch these films and you see he is the main ingredient !! ENJOY HIM !!! So this movie wasn't put together in the best way. True, there was a poor choice of actors excluding Christopher Walken of course. But if you were expecting to see a blockbuster hit in a straight to video sequel to "The Prophecy" then you should have stayed in bed or whatever. But if you were expecting to laugh your a** off during almost every hastily made scene, listen to crummy cue-card dialogue, or maybe just to witness how creepy Christopher Walken can look and sound then "The Prophecy 2" is the film for you. I'm sure it was a seemingly good idea to make this film however, the end product proved false if the desired effect was to make the best movie of all time. It is worth mentioning that Glenn Danzig made a special guest appearance as a rogue angel for a mere 30 seconds which became disappointing because I didn't hear one of his songs during the entire film, so I guess that's my one and only complaint. But what's worth mentioning even more is that towards the end of this film Eric Roberts shows up! I never EVER suspected that Eric Roberts would be in this movie which added the much needed suspense to this film. I was rolling with laughter, at Eric Roberts. Thank you Eric Roberts.

Movie description An alienated teenager from an affluent suburban community uses his evil genius to manipulate his family and intimidate his peers, leading to a shocking climax that will take you one step beyond sanity. One evening, Phillip Collins (Dan Ziskie)&Susan Collins (Brooke Tracy) find their maid Mrs. Murdock at the end of their steps: dead, neck broken. Obviously she had an accident. Consequently they need a new babysitter for an upcoming big party. The sensible Helen Giles (Lois Smith) meets little Evelyn Collins (Tandy Cronyn) at the discount market and likes her, so she offers to do the job. She doesn't know Evelyn's teenage brother Mark Collins (Christian Slater) - technically skilled and good in school, but resistive and cunning. As soon as the parents have left, Mark starts psychologically terrorizing Helen and his sister with electronic tricks. Cast: Brooke Tracy, Christian Slater, Dan Ziskie, Dina Merrill, Edward Marshall, J.C. Quinn, John Cunningham, Karl Taylor, Laurie Kennedy, Lois Smith, Noelle Parker, Tandy Cronyn Notes: Made in 1986 and shelved until Christian Slater became famous, then released in 1992.

(Right on time and a great movie!!!) Rose Red (2002) was not very original for a Steven King story. I enjoyed it to the tune of four stars but my only reason is that I am a sucker for haunted house stories. King stated he wanted to make the ultimate haunted house movie. In order to make this the definative haunted house film Steven King recycled some ideas and lines from Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, and his own work in THE SHINING. I am certain many fans recognized the plot elements and lines from THE HAUNTING including: The house is coming alive; Some houses are born bad (which was credited) and the basic idea of the plot which assumed that psychics would serve as a catalyst to the old house. I did enjoy this film and the only thing I was really upset with was the many very long lingering shots of the moody sets and CGI images of Rose Red which I think were only used to fill up the six hours of air time. Special effects were very good for a made for TV movie. Red Rose is a wonderful follow-up for the Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. I have both tapes and have enjoyed them immensely. I'll admit straight-out, this is not the best or highest budget haunted house movie you could see. But what it does have in spades is ambiance that give the abstract foreboding feeling that a haunted house should. There's no direct sense of how exactly the house is evil, just that it perturbs, distorts, and manipulates it's inhabitants into insanity through visions and hallucinations. That, and the house expands *itself* infinitely (easy to get lost in and no one knows the count of the rooms). This is the cause of everyone's death through Rose Red (I'm sure you saw this one coming). EG - One person sees statues moving and has a heart attack. He would have survived if he could get into the house, but all the doors and windows are mysteriously locked. The only person who sees him is convinced that he is a hallucination (due to the house OD'ing everyone on them), and refuses to submit to it. Meanwhile, the woman who brought this psychic group there is too obsessed with the house (it is a pretty bad@$$ English Manor) to let a pesky thing like death get in the way of her studies of it, namely of the super-psychic kid who eventually tames the house. Pretty cool overall. Pros : - Cool house - Cool story - Detailed Cons : - Long (4+ hours) - Low production values for a movie (made for tv, but still decent) - Some annoying acting A movie to hold your attention for 6 hours. Will watch it many more times. really fast and amazon said it would get to me on the day it was estimated as well the movie is the best one i have brought of Steven kings movie! On regular television, punctuated by frenetic commercials, the leisurely pace of the horror miniseriesRose Redprobably felt grueling; but on its own terms, the effect is like settling into a long book full of detail--a book not unlike those of Stephen King, who wrote the script. The story (about a researcher into the paranormal who takes a team of psychics into a haunted house) recycles themes that King has used before--a telekinetic girl, a house with its own consciousness--but for his fans, the familiarity is probably comfortable and even enjoyable. The cast (including Nancy Travis, Julian Sands, and Melanie Lynsky fromHeavenly Creatures) give committed performances, and the special effects are television-grade but used pretty well.

(Great set!) (Classic Scare.) (IT'S ALIVE!!!) While it is a classic, it is amazing that people actually found it scary. It is almost a comedy by today's standards of horror. This is a fantastic set of films and extras. I hated to downrate this set, but the double-sided disc is just too much of a problem. I've been through 2 sets so far without getting a good one. Most of Universal's double-sided discs have worked fine for me, but not this one. This would have been a 5, if not for Universal's sloppy work. Every movie on this dvd set is an amazing piece of universal horror. The best box set of the legacy series. I was in heaven when I first saw all of these classic macabre movies in a set! What an amazing deal. Frankenstein - Parts of the movie may be too slow for some people to watch, but certain scenes are worth the wait. The monster has your sympathy, and unnerves you at the same time. Bride of Frankenstein - Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of Frankenstein is amazing. She 'haunts' the role like a confused wild animal. Again, some scenes may be too dull, but the ending is well worth it. If you are only interested in the endings (by far the most exciting parts), I would recommend watching those scenes on Youtube.com, and purchasing a movie you enjoy the whole way through. House of Frankenstein caught my attention because the array of characters; The Monster, Wolf Man, and Count Dracula. Surprisingly, these characters hardly interact with each other, and seem to flitter around then disappear. Son of Frankenstein, and The Ghost of Frankenstein couldn't keep my attention long enough to watch either of them. A highly enjoyable horror classic! The original Frankenstein movie is excellent considering it was filmed in the early 1930s. This is one of the best sets to come out on DVD. It also contains bonus features. Another recommended classic is the Dracula Collection. Better yet, get all the Legacy collections! Enjoy an evening of old fashioned horror masterpieces. Whale ushered in a new era of horror films and karloff was never quite able to shake his image as the frightening yet often sympathetic monster of dr. Frankenstein. Studio: Uni Dist Corp.

(Great movie!) (The Word Is 'Fun') (The Mummy-DVD) This is still the best of the 3 mummy movies. I thought the film looked great in Blu-Ray. Very crisp and detailed. I always liked the chemistry between Rachel Weisz (one of my favorite actresses) and Brendan Fraser. The special effects throughout the film are very good. Sometimes the acting and script is a little too cheesy, and the John Hannah character can be very annoying (he plays Rachel Weisz' brother in the film), but the filmmakers were obviously going for the Indiana Jones "matinee" feel so it's forgivable. Not a great film but fun. I believe Rachel Weisz carries this film, however, and it wouldn't have worked without her. I lost my original purchase of this and had to buy a replacement, one of the very few movies I watch over and over and enjoy it each time! It's the Mummy need I say more? Great movie for the family (except may be really little kids) and the sequel is just as good as the original. It seems like a long time ago when this came out, but I remember it being the first DVD I had ever bought sight unseen, meaning I had never seen the film in the theater or on tape. I was pleased. I got what I had hoped for: a fun, special-effects extravaganza. This was an Indiana Jones-Jason And The Argonauts combination adventure story. It's cartoon-like in nature with an absurd swashbuckling hero, outlandish action scenes and the occult theology that filmmakers love so much. (The Mummy has God-like powers, even producing Old Testament plagues.) However, the film is too long by about 10-15 minutes and there is simply too much action and too much noise. The film needs more lulls. Brendan Fraser is pretty good as the Indiana Jones figure and Rachel Weisz, a new face at the time, makes a solid impression in her debut. The DVD offered a sharp picture which highlighted a number of jaw-dropping scenes. It's pure escapist fun and not meant to be anything else. As in many cases, I think this was the best in this modern series, which now numbers three, I believe. I haven't received the item above, yet have had two emails to review it. If you've sent it, please verify that it has really gone out. If not, please don't send me another email. Thanks. Bluray Disc If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version ofThe Mummyis spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it "hokey," "cheesy," and "pallid." Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the characters occasionally slip into cliché, but who cares? When that action gets going, hold tight--those two hours just fly by. The premise of the movie isn't that far off from the original. Egyptologist and general mess Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) discovers a map to the lost city of Hamunaptra, and so she hires rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) to lead her there. Once there, Evelyn accidentally unlocks the tomb of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a man who had been buried alive a couple of millennia ago with flesh-eating bugs as punishment for sleeping with the pharaoh's girlfriend. The ancient mummy is revived, and he is determined to bring his old love back to life, which of course means much mayhem (including the unleashing of the 10 plagues) and human sacrifice. Despite the rather gory premise, this movie is fairly tame in terms of violence; most of the magic and surprise come from the special effects, which are glorious to watch, although Imhotep, before being fully reconstituted, is, as one explorer puts it, rather "juicy." Keep in mind this film isas much comedy as it is adventure--those looking for a straightforward horror pic will be disappointed. But for those who want good old-fashioned eye-candy kind of fun,The Mummyranks as one of choicest flicks of 1999. --Jenny Brown Rerations < The Mummy [Blu-ray] > < The Mummy Returns [Blu-ray] > < The Scorpion King [Blu-ray] > < Batman Begins [Blu-ray] > < Serenity [Blu-ray] > freaks < P.

(Great Fun) My kids love the Funny Bunny series and the five-year old actually practices reading these books because they do contain an interesting story and are funny as compared to other easy reader books. FAr easier to read than Dr. Seuss over and over again... My brother loved the PJ Funnybunny books as a kid. Now my son loves them, too. A cute story with great illustrations, sure to become another family classic. My son has had this book for several years and very much enjoys it. This delightful story follows a bow-tie wearing P.J. Funnybunny as he and his three friends--Ritchie the raccoon, Buzz the beaver and Potts the pig--set out to go on a camping trip. P.J.'s sister, Honey Bunny, asks if she and her friend Donna Duck can come along. "Camping is not for girls", P.J. lectures. The rest of the story shows all the "hard" work that P.J. and friends experience as they establish their camp. P.J. even tells a campfire story so scary that he frightens HIMSELF! Then, two "ghosts" appear--scaring the beegeezus out of the boys...who then run home. But, when P.J.'s mom ask what happened--they all lie. But Honey Bunny and Donna know what happened! In addition to being a clever story, P.J. Funnybunny provides a great opportunity for parents to discuss the topic of lying with their children--not to mention gender equality! This book is a Step 2 "Step Into Reading" book by Random House and is geared towards 5-6 year olds. (I have more recent Step 2 books and this one seems a bit more complex/longer than recent Step 2 books.) Step 2 books tend to have basic vocabulary, short sentences and simple plot lines. So, it's a good book for beginning readers--as well as a good story for bedtime. At first I thought this book was a little negative for girls because PJ and his friend kept telling his sister and her friends that camping is not for girls. But even my three year old daughter understood that the boys were the ones who did not know what they were doing. The ending allows for discussion on telling the whole truth. Illus. in full color. Camping is not for girls, right? At least, that's what P.J. and his pals tell Donna and Honey Bunny when they want to tag along on a camping trip. But when two mysterious ghosts frighten the boys all the way home, only the girls know the real story. Rerations < P. J. Funnybunny Camps Out (Step into Reading) > < P.J.

But a good book anyway.) (Carmilla: A Tragic Love Story by J. Sheridan Le Fanu) (Good story. Deeply alluring) The first time I read Carmilla, I was much younger and would have thought, "Wait a minute! This is a classic!!?" because, you know, the older generations didn't use language we could understand. Years later, it's a delight to see it not only revived in it's one tome the way it was meant to be but actually UNABRIDGED. I love this story, and I couldn't help but enjoy it a second time around. What a great idea. Dusty White is reissuing works of classic literature with a forward explaining intricacies of the story and shedding light on points that today's reader might miss. White also provides images that reflect subtleties in the characters. I found this choice a delight to read. First, the Victorian language enchants me. It is elegant, delicate, polite in the extreme, a throwback to a time when fine manners and generous hospitality were marks of distinction for the upper crust. The precision of the word choice, the dancing around the main point with hints at the underlying meaning so as not to offend anyone, and the emphasis on great concern for others' feelings transported me to a time and place where ladies and gentlemen handled their affairs with great deference. I liked that. Second, the front cover image was a perfect choice for this story. The innocent faces of the two girls who share a deep bond belie the shocking outcome of the story. This contrast reflects the plot. Third, as a professional writer, I enjoyed on many levels the delicacy of the relationship between Carmilla and Laura, the pacing of the story, the plot twists, the mood, the background, etc. Fourth, and most important, White has provided a vehicle for an easy way to spend some quality time with both familiar and unfamiliar literature of old. You merely have to look for his Classic Literature Series and search for titles he has chosen as worthy of your time to read. He does all the work for you by plowing through stacks of possibilities and pulling out those works which he deems worthy of reissuing under his brand. In our busy society, he is providing a valuable service. If he continues to reissue classic works in this manner, he has just created a loyal fan.

[[ASIN:1440469431 Pain Banishment, Not Pain Management:Non-Invasive Treatment for RSD/CRPS and Other Chronic Pain: Such As Neuropathy, Migraines, Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia ~ EVEN WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKS ~] I guess this was witten back in the times where books were shorter or soemthing, but this was barely over 100 pages. I liked the story, and the characters were especially haunting, but I wish the author had left it open for a sequel. Carmilla had a surreal and foggy feel as Laura tells us her story 8 years after her experience. I felt as though I was right there and a part of the story. I absolutely loved it and made sure to savor the book by reading it at night, in bed...alone. It was a very romantic book in a dreamy sort of way. I felt sorry for Carmilla yet I wanted to protect Laura as she was drawn in to Carmilla's hypnotic spell. The complicated relationship between the two was mysterious and intriguing...yet secretive in the most innocent way. It was easy for me to see what was happening but I can understand how Laura and her father did not suspect a thing. I felt like I wanted to hear Carmilla's version of the story so I could learn more about her. In this edition the glossary and pictures were a very nice touch. This book is a great read for all vampire lovers - you won't be able to put it down. You will see how this romantic novella has influenced so many other vampire stories such as Bram Stoker's Classic Dracula. I am definitely going to read it again...and have recommended it to friends. Carmilla combines the innocence of growing up in a sheltered environment with the budding sexuality all young women face. Topics of psychological abuse and abandonment are covered by painting the character's past and present with events that leave emotional scars from these actions. I found this interesting, as abuse (of any kind), child abandonment, and other societal ills are not limited to the modern age. But this story shows us how people deal with these actions and influences on their lives from distant memories, and how these shape us as individuals. Naturally Le Fanu was far more subtle than I am explaining here. You almost have to look for these things to fully understand the implications presented. The story itself flows along nicely, and is quite mesmerizing. It has this ability to draw you into a trance. But when you look deeply, the layers are there waiting to be discovered. This edition has interesting cover art on the front and back, from the great masters. I did like the idea of a glossary of terms. That is unique. And the quotes were somewhat creepy and enigmatic. I still have to find the source for them. Carmilla created the modern vampire. She was the first romantic vampire, and after inspiring Bram Stoker's Dracula she has continued with us, always in the shadow, influencing culture with a subtlety that is as alluring as it is elitist. A multi-layered story of love, loss, and a yearning for both a past and a future unobtainable, and finally of great sacrifice, Carmilla ranks as one of the world's great tragedies. A lonely young girl living in a desolate forest is befriended by a young countess after what seems a chance encounter. Laura's innocence prevents her from seeing the obvious, that her new friend Carmilla is a demon of the highest order, and one who has fallen passionately in love with her. Over time Carmilla's lust for Laura and her soul overpower her caution, and the serenity of a life of seclusion becomes a nightmarish existence for Laura as her world unravels in ways that can never be repaired. This is an archival quality presentation of the original unabridged story. Rerations < Carmilla: A Tragic Love Story By J.

H. Williams III is an amazing artist!) Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers are absolutely nothing like the old version. Well, apart from the bit with Vigilante in it early on. New versions of Klarion the Witch Boy, and the Shining Knight, and quite a lot of the supernatural alien type of influence. Grant Morrison began this series intending to, I believe, emulate the critically popular but poorly recieved 'Fourth World' by Jack Kirby. In it, the titular 'Seven Soldiers' each have their own four issue title that all tie in together in a final 'book end' chapter. However, each story is enjoyable in its own right. Reading them together, you can pick up on the subtle interactions - what story happens when in comparison, how part x of one story ties in to part y of another. However, it isn't the interactions, or even the superheroics, that make Morrison's 'Seven Soldiers of Victory' a stunning success - it's the human element. It's the inspiration of Jake Jordan as he learns to become the Manhattan Guardian. It's the building hope of Alix Harrower as she slowly rebuilds her life from tragedy. It's Klarion's charming exploration of his religion and the boundaries of his society. Every character tells a different kind of story, and while they may not be everyone's cup of tea, each story is charming and inspirational in it's own way...and they all build up to an even greater whole. I have read hundreds of graphic novels, and I saw the buzz on this. I guess I have never been a huge Grant Morrison fan, though he has his moments. This was his attempt to create a completely new universe out of old characters. I tried to get started, couldn't finish. If you are a completest, go for it. There is better stuff out there. Re-readability: 2/10 *I always put re-readability in my reviews for people who like to keep their TPB to re-read* There is a literary term called "heavy lifting" that applies when an author requires the reader to do a lot of work to appreciate the story -- this "heavy lifting" almost always comes at the beginning of the story. You might also call it "labor-intensive exposition." There is considerable heavy lifting here, so much so that I almost didn't pick up the second book. But, as luck would have it, I left my bag at the comic shop and had to swing by the next day to pick it up. Glad I did. Things really start to get GOOD in the second book, so much so that moments that seemed lame or irrelevant in the first trade are illuminated in hindsight -- the whole world expands! Now I cannot wait to get three and four! But, all that being said, as one previous reviewer noted there is a great deal in the first book that feels stuttering if not downright incomprehensible. Moreover, the order that the issues have been collected -- randomly, it feels like -- did none of the stories justice and served to add to the confusion. So BOOK 1 (by itself) deserves 2 STARS. BOOK 2 (by itself) deserves 4 STARS. And the sum of the two (the hindsight effect) bumps this book up to 3 STARS. So, my final word, DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU PLAN TO READ THEM ALL. OTHERWISE, YOU'LL BE WASTING YOUR TIME&MONEY. Every artist represented in this volume (there are six) blew me away - each for a different reason. The artwork in the introductory chapter, by J. H. Williams III, seemed, to me, the most significantly accomplished of the lot. Keep in mind that I do not regularly read contemporary superhero stories, so I had no preconceptions about any of these artists. There's something distinctly Silver Age about Williams' storytelling techniques (and I mean "calm and collected and cool and almost formal Infantino and Oskner DC Silver Age," not "crazy genius Kirby and Ditko Marvel Silver Age," by the way), though the outer layer, the Photoshopped slickness, is (and probably has to be) thoroughly contemporary. In Williams' case, the slickness refuses to obscure an outstanding and versatile line, among other things. There's the scratchy Wrightson-like opening in a swamp. There's the wide, western landscape that reminded me, more than anything, of an old Mickey Mouse adventure digest comic I had when I was a kid - except, you know, more realistic, and creepier. Maybe it was just the cartoony prickly pears everywhere. Or something. Williams' storytelling and character-building skills are as strong as any I've seen in comics. These characters - ultimately dispensible - come alive from the first moment they appear. Surely Williams is considered one of the top stylists of contemporary mainstream comics, maybe even the top stylist. I was particularly impressed with the final battle sequence, in which a great deal of information about a large number of characters performing very complex manuevers was presented so calmly and well (and with such perfect graphic design) that I didn't even notice that, hey, wow, that must have been a difficult sequence to pull off, until I'd read it three or four times. (the above is excerpted from my longer review at graphicnovelreview.com) This first volume features the exploits of four of the seven soldiers: the Shining Knight, the Guardian, Zatanna and Klarion the Witchboy!Independently, each of these characters is featured in a story arc that redefines their purpose in the DC Universe.But their stories also interweave with the other soldiers tales, and tell a grander story of a devastating global threat to mankind.Together these reluctant champions must arise and somehow work together to save the world....without ever meeting one another!

Beyond horrible acting !) (Alright film, just bad acting.) (Probably Destined to Be a Cult Classic. 1 1/2 Stars) (Horrible storyline) (WOW!!!) I should have known better when I didn't see a picture on the back of this DVD. This acting was the worst I have seen in the last 10 years. The main character couldn't act so you know that is the kiss of death for a film. The cinematography was a rookie at best. The story line was from a historic figure but could have done better much better. Elizabeth the blood queen could have made such a interesting story. If a real director actually did it on the caliber of Frances ford Coppola or Neil Jordon. This movie really really should not get any consideration please do your eyes a favor stay clear of this film. Do not rent, entertain, or buy this movie and I love B movies for the adventure of new discoveries but this is a waste. Trust Me This film was pretty predictable, had horrible acting, but the storyline and the plot were pretty original, and the filmwork was pretty good. This tells the tale of a post-apocalypse massive power grid failure world where people live in kingdoms again, much like the middle ages. Howerver, these kingdoms are Counties, and this one in particular is ran by a former model from new york who returned home. Is she a good leader, or just a puppet. Take a look at this film, but I would recommend borrowing it, or cheap rental, unless you like cult-following B films. APOCALYPSE AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN is supposedly loosely based upon the 16th Century ruler, Elizabeth Bathory--"The Blood Countes". The movie is set in a not-too distant future where governments and other ruling bodies have collapsed and people have been left to fend and survive for themselves in a world that has regressed to a Dark Ages mentality. Amber (Beverly Hynds) was a former New York model who returned to her hometown after the collapse and led and organized the citizens in the area back towards civilization. However, she becomes seduced by vanity and power. Meanwhile a new revolution seems ready to break out while a cold blooded killer is kidnapping beautiful young women, killing them, and bathing in their blood. APOCALYPSE AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN desperately wants to be seen as a hip and artsy romantic thriller. That's the type of movie the filmmakers seem to have been wanting to make. Unfortunately, that's not the film that ended up as the finished project. The film does have an aesthetic appeal, but it takes itself so seriously that it's a caricature of what it was meant to be. The worst part of the film is the writing. The dialogue is terrible. I've watched junior high students produce films for class that have had better dialogue than is in the movie. The bad writing seeps into other parts of the film and taints them, too. Take the acting for example. There are a few decent performances in the movie (Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface of the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE films gives one of the best performances in the movie), but much of the acting is second-rate at best. These performances combined with the terrible writing make for laugh-out hilarity. Except most of these laugh out moments are meant to be funny, they are supposed to be taken seriously. Of course, there's the general plot of the movie much of which doesn't make any sense at all. The films ending raises causes some huge plot holes and eliminates any sensibility at all. APOCALYPSE AND THE BEAUTY QUEEN does have some appeal. The production value isn't too bad and some of the cinematic techniques are well done. Beyond that, it's one of those movies that could develop a cult following because "it's so bad, it's good." The film also has value as a picture you can use for your own MYSTERY SCIENCE 3000 viewings. Other than that, unless you a fan of Gunnar Hansen or any of the other principals involved, this is a movie you are better off not seeing at all. Although it is visually captivating, the storyline couldn't be worse. If you are DYING to see it - rent it, it's not a buy. I am a fan of this TYPE of movie. When I saw it in ST. Louis it was beyond what I expected. I love the scream queen and she fulfilled her role. If anyone knows more from this directer please advise. Its a "must have" for the independant film lover.

(Huh?) (Low Budget Loser) (Low Budget, Big Idea) (So bad, the filmmakers diss it on the commentary track!!) During a drunken trip to Scarborough a friend of mine bought Horror Vision in a pound shop after we had read the film synopsis on the back of the DVD, knowing full well that it would be low-budget but hoping it would be so bad that it was good. Sadly this wasn't the case. It was quite frankly a damn waste of 72 minutes of my life which I will never get back. The best part of the film was when it ended. I am no longer friends with the person who bought it as I can never forgive him for subjecting me to the epic waste of time that is Horror Vision. I am now receiving counselling due to the fact that I tried to kill myself 15 times during the film through boredom. The afore-mentioned former friend is paying my counselling bills as the court ruled that this was the least that he could do. I know someone who is dead. To sum up I really enjoyed the film. It wasn't Horror Vision though. I suggest you set fire the Horror Vision disk and throw it at someone you hate or to a lesser extent, even someone you quite like. Either way it will be a far more enjoyable experience. Spoiler- Nothing interesting happens. I really don't know what to make of this film. It starts out in a sinister way, moves into a Matrix clone, and ends before the story really begins. The story centers around a software genius who is running an erotic site to help pay the bills. He gets pictures from Brinke Stevens (whose presence does nothing to save the film). A web site called HorrorVision seems to be at the heart of a technological revolution/evolution. Accessing the site seems to bring technology to life. Bradbury, a guy copied from Fishburne's character from the Matrix films, has the lowdown on what is going on and claims our hero has a special quality and can stop the rise of the machines (does this sound familiar?). There are several others on a list that Bradbury carries than can help. And that is about as far as the movie goes. Our hero sets out to find the others and the credits roll. Waste of time. This is a Full Moon presentation and it looks like they were hoping for another string of films like Puppet Master, Bloodstone, or Trancers but never got to the second film. While films in these series did sometimes end unfinished on a cliffhanger they never did it with the first one. Since it seems the story will never be finished, there is little reason to watch the beginning. Don't check this one out. Don't waste your time with this low budget (high priced) DVD. This reminds me of an amateur "garage" band that never performed on stage. This flick is a total loser. The effects are phoney and amateur...the blood effects look like spilled cranberry juice...the music is so overdone you think you're at the symphony...and the actors and actresses flunked drama in elementary school. This is a pitiful, low-life, boring, silly and idiotic production that should have been released into space...not into DVD. A must see for the serious aspiring filmmaker. Interesting low budget effects, great acting, and a lofty idea made interesting despite budgetary constraints. Also contains interesting additional material. This movie is bad, and I mean BAD! It's so bad that when you listen to the commentary track on the DVD, you find out that even the writer, director, producer, etc think it's horrible. They tell a few things about the movie and how they made it, but most of it is talking about how the movie is horrible, utter garbage. They talk about how no one is probably hearing what they're saying, because they already shut it off, took it back to the rental store, and threw it in the employee's face. The movie itself seems like a waste of time. Why did they make it, when it seems they only put 1% of effort into it? They even talk like the movie was so under- budget it couldn't be made right. Stay away from this movie, no matter what you do. If you see Full Moon or Tempe Video on any movies, it's probably a good idea to stay away from all of them....I have yet to see these two groups release anything even close to watchable. The website "horrorvision.com" has a mysterious secret...anyone who logs onto it winds up dead. After Dez, a web programmer, logs in his girlfriend and others are attacked. Only Dez and a mysterious man named Bradbury can stop the ominous forces intent on ruling the cyber-world.
