(Not the best but not the worst)
『Buffy starts the fifth season off with a decent series starter but not the best by far, as you go through the season you find out Buffy has a "sister" Dawn, and you meet Glory the Big Bad of season 5, my only real beef with this season is some of the stand alones weren't that great, and Spike got on my nerves at times. Other than that good season, great story, and decent acting.』

("BE BACK BEFORE DAWN....")
『This season could have easily gone south. Any time you introduce a new character like Dawn you must be very careful that the entire Buffy matrix doesn't end up on the wrong side of the universe. For Buffy fans we must accept what Buffy accepts because she thinks it has always been that way, she has a sister named Dawn. Suprisingly however, the season actually begins with all things, Buffy meeting Dracula! Overall this is a powerful season, and one that Joss Whedon has called probably close to his best. Why? How? easy. He was under the belief that Buffy would not be renewed for season 6, and he wanted to put it all out there and give Buffy a royal send off--and that he did. With the intro of a terrific baddy like Glory which mercifully makes us forget about a rather luke warm villain like Adam from season 4. This is also the season, which really started as far back as one, and picked up steam in season 4, of Willow becoming more powerful and dangerous, albiet more subtley before it explodes in season 6. It is also the season where Buffy is starting to creep closer to playing with forces that down the line will unleash the first. Study the episodes about the first slayer that she encounters very carefully for clues, also anything involving Willow playing with the mojo. Episodes you cannot and will not want to miss "The Body" I dare you to find a more chilling portrait on television of a daugther losing a parent. It will leave you breathless and make you think deeply about our mortality. And of course, the "The Gift" A perfect ending for a terrific season. A more beautiful way to end the possible end of a series, I think not. Other things to watch, Spike's growing obession with Buffy, and Tara. Her character development this season is crucial to the axis of season 6, the season that almost never was. It is, and was a special season. Thank you Joss.

(WHY????????????????????)
『Season 5 of Buffy. The first truly awful season. And I mean awful. After I watch season 4, I asked a friend of mine, who had already seen the whole series, if I should even bother watching the last three seasons. She assured me that season 4 was just a small misstep, and that they pull it back together in this season. So I rented season 5 and started watching it with a renewed sense of optimism. When I finished the season, I had one thing to say. I'm surprised they were able to make two more seasons after this one. The plot, the characters, the villians, Dawn, everything in this season was just awful.

Okay, let me start at the beginning. The first episode, "Buffy vs Dracula, was not horrible. Dracula seemed sort of stupid when I first saw the episode. But once I realized who the main villian of this season was, I was begging for her to be removed, and for Dracula to come back. Compared to the rest of the season, this episode was okay. But at the end of this episode, we get introduced to Dawn. Uuugggghhhhhh. I could not stand her. At first, I actually thought they were just going to pretend she had been there the whole time. I'm serious. I thought they were were overwriting the previous seasons and saying that Buffy had always had a younger sister. But when they explained how Dawn had gotten there, I was overjoyed. I thought she would be gone sometime soon, since her character was so annoying. Instead, they decided to keep her on for the rest of the series. Despite the fans abject hatred towards this character, the writers kept her on for the last three seasons of the show. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?????? Dawn has got to be one of the most pointless, brattiest, annoying characters in fiction. Now I know Dawn is sort of supposed to be annoying. But they didn't do it right. She should have been annoying to the rest of the characters, but not to the audience. Look at Spike in season 4, when he first got the chip put in his head. The rest of the cast couldn't stand him. But we loved him. We loved every moment of screen time he had. Neither the audience, nor the rest of the characters could stand her. She served no purpose other than to make our lives miserable.

I didn't care for most of the other characters in this season. Now I don't know about you guys but, as far as I'm concerned, the characters get less and less likeable after season 3. I mean it. Willow turning gay, Xander basically becoming a deadbeat, Buffy turning 20 and still acting like she's 16, they all went downhill. The only exception was Giles. I actually started to like him more in the later seasons. It's too bad he stopped being a regular character after this season. The rest of the characters are also pretty bad in this season. Anya is annoying as always, Tara is as bland as always (although we do get a little background on what kind of family she came from), and Riley is even kind of whiney in this season. He did a few things in this season that didn't really make sense. I still don't hate him as much as most fans, though. I was a little sad to see him go. (They remove him when fans hated him, why didn't they do the same to Dawn?)

The plot of this seas was terrible. Basically, this Goddess named Glory, also called the Beast, wants to get out of our dimension and back into her heaven dimension. She needs "the key" to open the doorway to her dimension. But as she opens the door, more doors to other dimensions will be opened. All kinds of creatures from all kinds of dimensions will be let into our dimension. The world as we know it will be destroyed. This is a decent conflict, but there's just one problem. It's not enough to take up a whole season. It would have been a good plot for an episode, or maybe even a two-part episode. They milked a whole season out of this plot. And they did the same with Glory. She has got to be one of the worst villians ever. She comes in on the season's fifth episode, "No Place Like Home," and she's there for therest of the season. Again, she is not an interesting enough villian to carry a season. I mean, imagine if Drusilla had been the main villian of season 2, and the whole season had consisted of her trying to open Acathla. That would have gotten real old real fast. Which is exactly what happened here. This is the first season of Buffy that didn't really have an episodic feel to it. As we got further into the season, the episodes kept ending on cliffhangers. It was like watching a season of "24". Now don't get me wrong, 24 is a great show, in fact it's my favorite show. But that kind of thing just didn't feel right for this series. I can't really explain it. In the earlier seasons of Buffy, they were able to, every once in a while, break off from the over-arching plot and put in an episode that dealt with something else. And that was nice. I really missed that about these later seasons of Buffy. Especially when the plot was as lame as this.

Now I loved the final episode. It was amazing. It was my second-favorite season finale in this series. For a while, Joss Whedon was considering ending the series right here. If he had, it would have been one of the best series finales of all time. Because the actual series finale was a pile of crap. Buffy and her friends prepare for the apocalypse which seems to come about every May. I love how they joke about that. Anyway, a huge battle ensues. Buffy finally defeats Glory, and then runs off to save Dawn. Giles then kills Glory by smothering Ben. Oh yeah, Glory has a brothernamed Ben, who his sometimes him and sometimes her. For some reason. Despite this retarded plot device, it was cool to see another glimpse of Giles' dark side. Unfortunately, this is the last time we ever see it. Buffy realizes that "death is her gift", and she sacrifices herself to save Dawn and the rest of the world. The season ends with a shot of a gravestone which reads: Buffy Summers. Beloved Sister. Devoted Friend. She Saved the World. A Lot.

To recap, this was the worst episode of Buffy so far. The plot, the characters, and just about everything else was terrible. But this is actually not my least favorite season of Buffy. The saving grace is the season finale, one of the best episodes of television, in my opinion. Oh yeah, and Buffy's mom finally dies.

And that is what I think about that.』


(The Best Season Buffy)
『I bought this season because the first one wore out. Joss Whedeon gives a hint about Dawn two full seasons in advance. great storytelling.』

(For every slim set collector)
『If you're a fan of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, than this item is for you... For everyone who wants to collect the series in slim sets, I recommend this... There are 3 slim DVD cases, each with 2 DVDs.』
『Various.』
『The fifth season of Joss Whedon's hit series started out in excellent form as slayer extraordinaire Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) did battle with the most famous of vampires (that Dracula guy) and then went on to spar with another nemesis, little sister Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg). Wait--Buffy has a teenage sister? Where hasshebeen the past four years? And why is everyone acting like she's always been around? Turns out that young Dawn is actually "The Key," a form of pure energy that, true to its name, helps open the gates between different dimensions. To protect said key from falling into the wrong hands, a group of monks gave it human form and sent it to the fiercely protective Buffy for safekeeping, creating new memories of Dawn for everyone as if she'd existed... well, always. Why all the super secrecy? There's this very, very,verybad girl named Glory (Clare Kramer) who wants the keyverybadly, and will do anything to get it. Oh, and by the way, Glory isn't just a run-of-the-mill demon... she'swayworse.

Some fans will tell you thatBuffy"jumped the shark" with the introduction of Dawn, when in actuality this season was the pinnacle of the show's achievement, as there was superb comedy to be had ("Buffy Vs. Dracula," the double-Xander episode "The Replacement," the introduction of the "Buffybot" in "Intervention") as well as some of television's best drama. The Whedon-scripted and -directed "The Body" remains one ofBuffy's best episodes, when the young woman who faces down supernatural death on a daily basis finds herself powerless in the wake of her mother's sudden passing. The first third or so of the season was a bit choppy, but once the evil Glory came into her own,Buffywas a television force to be reckoned with. Kramer was the show's best villain (after the evil Angel, natch), and the supporting cast was never better. But as always, it was the superb Gellar who was the powerful center of the show, sparking opposite lovelorn vampire Spike (James Marsters) and wrestling with moral dilemmas rarely seen on television. With this season, Buffy Summers became, like Tony Soprano, one of television's true greats.--Mark Englehart

(Awesome set of awesome movies.)
『Ghostbusters 1&2 are amazing movies and finally we get a great set with pleasing extra's. This set features the two great films on DVD, extra commentaries and an book with notes, information and photo's from the movies. Great set, great price.』

(Great in everyway)
『The product arrived promptly and was in mint condition. I couldn't have been happier. Good people to work with.』

(The original film remains funny and well worth watching)
『My daughter and I just did a GHOST BUSTERS double bill in honor of her upcoming move to New York, where she will be working at Columbia University, which is where Bill Murray and his paranomal colleague are studying at the beginning of the first film. We both really enjoyed the original and felt that it had more than held up over time, but we we were tremendously disappointed with the sequel. This is a joint review of both films. We watched the original film on Blu-ray and the second one on regular DVD. I won't say much more about the format except to say that the quality of the Blu-ray was somewhat disappointing. In fact, the quality of the DVD was very nearly as good as the Blu-ray.

Rewatching the first film, it was fascinating to see what a simple story it told, and how short it was. There really is very little to the film apart from the simple story and a string of scenes the become a framework for a series of jokes. The one thing that surprised me was that I don't find Bill Murray's jokes, many of which feel ad libbed, as funny as I did when I saw it when it first came out. This is balanced by Harold Ramis and Dan Ackroyd being funnier than I remembered. The special effects all look pretty good by today's standards, except for Slimer, who didn't much appeal to me when the film came out and still doesn't. But the highpoint of the movie, then as now, is the Stay-Puft marshmallow man, which is definitely one of the greatest movie monsters ever.

I saw the sequel when it came out, but over the years found it odd that I couldn't remember anything about it. I remembered that Sigourney Weaver's character had a baby, but that was the extent of it. Rewatching the film it is easy to see why I couldn't remember anything about it: it is simply not a very memorable film. The pace and the rhythm are erratic and many of the jokes are simply unfunny. The plot isn't very interesting and seems pretty formulaic, the formula being the first movie. It was, in fact, almost a remake of the original with some names changed and situations altered. Both my daughter and I were very unhappy with it and did not think it a very worthy sequel to the first film.

The original 1984 GHOSTBUSTERS still plays like a film that was the product of some imaginations in the grip of a real vision, while the sequel feels like a film made to cash in on the success of the former. It isn't like they weren't trying, they simply weren't inspired. GHOSTBUSTERS 2 just is not a worthy sequel of one of the more memorable light comedies of the eighties. Speaking for the two of us, we definitely enjoyed the first movie, but wish we had passed on the second one. I just hope that I remember the latter as poorly as I did the first time.』


(So Boring)
『These are silly movies. Too Bad b/c Dan Akroyd is supposedly really into ghosts. I gave mine away.』

(A great edition (printing errors corrected))
『This is a great edition of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. When first released there were some mistakes in the aspect ratio information on the cover and inserts (this lead to some confusion about the aspect ratios of these DVDs), but those errors have all been corrected. These DVDs are widescreen and the cover and insert info is all correct now.』
『Prepare to spend some quality "slime-time" with Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, together for the first time in this exclusive DVD gift set. These spooktacularly successful fillms captured the imagination of audiences around the world and redefined the action-comedy genre in the process. This gift set includes the two films, each with an assortment of otherworldly extras, and a deluxe Collector's Scrapbook, loaded with production notes, character sketches, insider info and more. Because when it comes to supernaturally classic comedy, Who you gonna call?』

(THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR)
『my heart just sings whenever i get the chance to watch the "THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR"

a gentle lovely tragic delightfully dark and thoughtful work of art and movie magick*...

the ghost and mrs. muir..1947...london at the turn of century.... ...filmed in a small central california town called carmel by the sea....interestingly enough carmel still retains all of the charm and flavor that we see in our movie setting.

our primary characters are....the angelic faced yet feisty mrs. lucy muir played sweetly yet firmly by a young ms. gene tierney....crusty old sea captain daniel gregg played by crusty elegant abrupt imposing mr. rex harrison and dashing author.... miles fairley played by mr. george sanders (who..incidentally..eventually committed suicide)...a young natalie wood plays the precocious daughter of mrs. muir and lastly...we have lucy's trusted maid/ companion martha who faithfully takes care of lucy and her daughter throughout the many years

after her husband edwin has been dead for a year..lucy decides to confront his mother and sister eva with news that she is leaving and taking her daughter anna to start a new life and live by the sea

i've always loved the dialogue from that scene when lucy says to this disagreeable pair in a calm yet sarcastic tone.."im not leaving him...i'm leaving you" after that most amusing and strangely satisfying encounter..lucy anna and martha depart on the train in great anticipation of a long overdue new beginning in the coastal seaside town of whitecliff by the sea..

things that draw me so to "the ghost" are it's warm endearing quality and tragic story of a true love that can never be realized in life...as i watch i can definitely pick up on the wonderful use of light and bright and dark shadows and then sometimes a curious grainy quality that helps create the feeling of antiquity...our story is full of wonderment for an era of propriety and values long since abandon...there are dark rainy windy ghostly nights at the cottage...there are peaceful evenings of gentle slumber...there are moments of strange occurrences and tender moments of sweet emotion...ever present is the scene setting music by mr. bernard hermann who creates moods of ominous and threatening all the way to sweet serene lighthearted and airy

our trio arrives in this charming seaside village....poor lucy a feminist way before her time must endure the short-sightedness and bravado of the supremacy of men in virtually all her business dealings... she must be gently forceful and insistent in obtaining gull cottage for her own from her realtor who tries to discourage her every witch way

the moment lucy sets eyes on it...she is drawn to it and will settle for nothing less..."a haunted castle" lucy smiles and seems to love the idea... i love that reaction myself

soon after moving into gull cottage...mrs. muir becomes fixated with a portrait of the sea rugged captain daniel gregg that hangs on one wall in her bedroom

curiously enough...i don't seem to find that much appealing about the interior of the captain's cottage...filmed in black and white doesn't do a thing to warm the rather austere environment for that of a lady but seems well suited to a rugged old seamen...i imagine... lots of cool hard angles...an abundance of nautical influences as one can imagine...for instance...an imposing brass telescope stands in front of lovely old french doors.

our crusty old sea captain slowly but surely becomes less bitter about his fate...dying...and after careful study of this interloper in his house he finds himself curiously falling in love with this woman and wanting to reveal himself to her more each day...when he finally does so lucy is not the least bit afraid of him...i believe she always knew he was standing right there beside her anyway

there is a sub-plot here as well... lucy retains the services of a small publishing company in the city to take charge of publishing her short stories...at one of the meetings she is introduced to the dashing and debonair miles farley...the attempted love relationship that ensues between these two is most irritating to me and in my opinion grossly interferes with our love story between daniel and lucy!

time passes and lucy and martha both age gracefully while anna reaches adulthood and leaves gull cottage to find a love of her own

in one of the most unforgettable and heart wrenching scenes daniel tells lucy one night as she lie sleeping that she will only remember their love in a dream...he won't destroy her life by staying...he says to her that he is going away and she must make her own life..."whether you meet fair winds or foul...find your own way to harbor in the end"...and then he gently whispers goodbye and barely touches her lips with a sweet kiss goodbye


years pass and lucy grows old and fragile while martha still tends to her every need

one dark night lucy falls asleep in her chair...in her hand she is still holding the glass of warm milk that martha had ordered her to drink earlier...we see the glass leave her hand and fall to the floor...lucy dies in her sleep at long last...the music grows dramatic and poignant as daniel reappears to finally reunite with his love

as lucy awakens to daniel's voice...he reaches down to take her hand in his we see lucy as that young girl again as she appeared when she first met the captain so many years earlier...they walk together hand in hand down the imposing circular staircase and as the front door opens wide...they walk out into the bright heavenly light together hand in hand


(A Great Classic - Highly Recommended)
『"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" is one of the classic movies that I picked up to show my two teens. We have been trying to expose them to great movies and this one rates very highly, indeed.

This movie is a love story, complete with one of the most complicated love triangles ever. The plot follows the recently widowed Lucy Muir (played by the wonderful Gene Tierney) as she tries to strike out on her own, renting a house haunted by the ghost of Captain Gregg (Rex Harrison is fantastic in this role). Also, look for a very young Natalie Wood as the daughter (not nearly enough screen time).

Both of my kids enjoyed the movie, admittedly my daughter more so than my son, and it was great to revisit this classic once again!

Highly Recommended!

CFH』


(Classic)
『This is a great chick flick movie to watch on a rainy day or a movie to share with your mom.』

(An unvarnished love story)
『Widowed Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) is being stifled by female in-laws. In her efforts to escape she needs to find something affordable for her and her daughter Anna (Natalie Wood.) It turns out to be a perfect (large) cottage by the see with the view obscured by a knarly monkey tree. Soon she realizes she is not a lone. The ghost of the former owner, Captain Daniel Gregg (Rex Harrison), refuses to give up the house. Lucy also refuses to be frightened off. So the have to make arrangements. In the process they get to know each other and form affection. Looks like Lucy's funds are running out; so she with the help of the captain (a ghost writer) writes his memoirs as "Blood and Swash" to be published. In the process of getting the book published she meets a not so dead Uncle Neddie (George Sanders.) (Exit Captain Gregg) Uncle Neddie has a few surprises of his own. Now she is starting to believe she made up the captain. Years later here daughter now grown (Vanessa Brown) will tell her that she too knew the captain.

You will want to watch and see how all this comes about and find out how it will all turn out.



(Good movie)
『Kind of a chic flick but a good movie to watch with wife, girlfriend, etc (yes, I'm a guy!!). I thought the acting was good and the plot kept my attention. I'm pretty picky about watching clean movies. If you want a good clean movie, this is a good choice.』
『A romance between a young widow and a sea captain's ghost weaves a magical tale of immortal love. Determined to live her life the way she wants, newly widowed Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) declines her straitlaced in-laws demand that she live with them and moves with her daughter (a young Natalie Wood) to the seaside into a cottage haunted by the handsome, blustering Captain Gregg (Rex Harrison). A deal is struck between the two in the wee hours of the morning allowing Lucy to stay in the house and the captain to materalize only in the master bedroom. As they gradually get to know each other better, Lucy's spunk and stubborness gains first the captain's grudging respect, then his heart. But when another man woos Lucy, both must face that her future lies with the living, not in the spirit world.』
『Joseph Mankiewicz's moody classic is less ghost story than romantic fantasy, a handsome 1947 drama of impossible love set on the picturesque turn-of-the-century New England coast. Independent young widow Lucy Muir (the luminous Gene Tierney), desperate to escape her uptight in-laws, falls in love with a grand seaside house and moves in, only to discover the cantankerous ghost of the hot-tempered Captain Gregg (a histrionically flamboyant performance by Rex Harrison). Lucy refuses to let the bombastic captain frighten her away, earning his respect, his friendship, and later his love. They team up to turn the captain's salty memoirs into a bestseller, but as his affection grows he fades away, leaving Lucy free to undertake a more worldly suitor, notably a charismatic children's author (George Sanders at his smarmy smoothest) with his own guarded secret. Charles Lang's melancholy black-and-white photography and Bernard Herrmann's haunting score set the tone for this sublime adult drama, and Tierney delivers one of her most understated performances as the resolute Mrs. Muir. Mankiewicz turns this ghost story into a refreshingly mature and down-to-earth romance.--Sean Axmaker

(Has Laughs and Suspense too)
『This is a great movie about Max and his sister Danny who moved from L. A. to Salem. But Max soon finds out that the suspicious townsfolk have reason to be. There are witches who swore to come back from the grave and kill all the children. It is up to Max, Danny, and Max's friend Alison to break the curse and save all the kids before its two late. This is a great Halloween move for kids. It's a great family movie that will entertain everyone! It is funny, suspenseful, and imaginative.』

(A great kid friendly show)
『When a virgin lights the black flame candle on Halloween night, the infamous Sanderson sisters, witches that have been dead for three centuries, come back to life and try to bewitch the whole town. The characters, including a talking cat named Binks, are endearing and enchanting. This movie is great fun for anyone. My eleven-year-old daughter really enjoyed it.』

(Inexplicably beloved and rather bad)
『The Bottom Line:

Bette Midler works overtime trying to infuse this featherlight kids movie with some desperately-needed energy, but the sloppy editing, weak child acting, uninteresting storyline and lukewarm direction by choreographer and schlock-merchant Kenny Ortega make this a film to skip.

2/4』


(SPOOKTACULAR!)
『This has to be one of my favorite halloween movies ever made! Great for kids and family alike! The soundtrack isn't bad either!』

(Awsome movie!!)
『A must see movie for anyone who likes/loves Halloween! Bette Midler is perfect in this part! Watched it about a 100 times with my daughter, still not sick of it yet!』
『You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches -- Bette Midler (BEACHES, BIG BUSINESS), Sarah Jessica Parker (HONEYMOON IN VEGAS), and Kathy Najimy (SISTER ACT) -- return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!』
『This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success forHocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills.--Keith Simanton

(More classic suspense from M. Night Shyamalan)
『I know I'm not in sequence writing my reviews of writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's movies but I can only say that he does it again with Sixth Sense. When little Cole Sear reveals his secret by quietly saying, "I see dead people," gooseflesh ran up my arms and cold, wet feet danced along my spine. Child actor Haley Joel Osment is superb as the lonely, frightened little boy who has a gift: he attracts dead people who come to him for help. Bruce Willis is great as always as a failed psychiatrist who seeks to redeem himself by helping Osment. But he has a secret, too.... Highly recommended. The Winds of Hell』

(Great Suspense and Psychological Thriller Movie)
『If you like psychological thrillers and suspense this movie lives up to its billing. Shyamalan does a great job of setting up the tension using lighting on otherwise inanimate objects, like statues on buildings, as well as odd shots, like high above entrances, which at once create both a distance and tension. Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist who is attempting to redeem himself by helping a young boy, Haley Joel Osment, who seems beyond help. Osment is very intelligent and holds a dark secret which Willis attempts to bring out. The story-line, cinematography, characters, and site locations all work together to the surprising climax and final revelation. This is a film that justly bolstered the directors and actors reputations.』

(The Sixth Sense)
『8-year-old Cole Sear is haunted by a dark secret: he is visited by ghosts. A reluctant channel, Cole is frightened by visitations from those with unresolved problems who appear from the shadows. Confused by his paranormal powers, Cole is too young to understand his purpose and too afraid to tell anyone aout his anguish, except child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe. As Dr. Crowe tries to uncover the ominous truth about Cole's supernatural abilities, the consequences for client and therapist are a jolt that awakens them both to something harrowing--and unexplainable. A movie that at first glance seems like a horror film with many chills, turns into a unexpectedly moving drama with a surprising ending. This is a movie that will make your hair on the back of my neck stand up.


(Well Worth Watching Again)
『I saw this movie ten years ago or so and was blown away by the twist ending that I never saw coming. I just watched it again and was amazed by how well rendered the entire movie is and how Shyamalan plays totally fair with his "surprise". I just hope he can recapture this magic of SIXTH SENSE in the future as his other films have been very disappointing. I'm not usually a fan of Bruce Willis in his action roles but he is just perfect playing Malcom in this much quieter movie. Child actor Haley Joel Osmont is nothing short of remarkable in his role as the "disturbed" Cole. Philadelphia, a city I never think much about, comes alive and I now want to visit it and see the historic sites. And there is really a pretty nice spiritual message for a "ghost" story. Highly recommended for ages 14 and up unless unusually sensitive to shivery surprises.』

(great)
『Very happy with the product. I will look for them when I'm doing business through Amazon.』
『Hollywood superstar Bruce Willis (ARMAGEDDON, THE SIEGE) brings a powerful presence to an edge-of-your-seat thriller from writer-director M. Night Shyamalan (Oscar(R)-nominee for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director) that critics are calling one of the greatest ghost stories ever filmed. When Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Willis), a distinguished child psychologist, meets Cole Sear (Oscar(R)-nominee Haley Joel Osment, Best Supporting Actor), a frightened, confused, eight-year-old, Dr. Crowe is completely unprepared to face the truth of what haunts Cole. With a riveting intensity you'll find thoroughly chilling, the discovery of Cole's incredible sixth sense leads them to mysterious places with unforgettable consequences!』
『"I see dead people," whispers little Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), scared to affirm what is to him now a daily occurrence. This peaked 9-year old, already hypersensitive to begin with, is now being haunted by seemingly malevolent spirits. Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is trying to find out what's triggering Cole's visions, but what appears to be a psychological manifestation turns out to be frighteningly real. It might be enough to scare off a lesser man, but for Malcolm it's personal--several months before, he was accosted and shot by an unhinged patient, who then turned the gun on himself. Since then, Malcolm has been in turmoil--he and his wife (Olivia Williams) are barely speaking, and his life has taken an aimless turn. Having failed his loved ones and himself, he's not about to give up on Cole.

This third feature by M. Night Shyamalan sets itself up as a thriller, poised on the brink of delivering monstrous scares, but gradually evolves into more of a psychological drama with supernatural undertones. Many critics faulted the film for being mawkish and New Age-y, but no matter how you slice it, this is one mightily effective piece of filmmaking. The bare bones of the story are basic enough, but the moody atmosphere created by Shyamalan and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto made this one of the creepiest pictures of 1999, forsaking excessive gore for a sinisterly simple feeling of chilly otherworldliness. Willis is in his strong, silent type mode here, and gives the film wholly over to Osment, whose crumpled face and big eyes convey a child too wise for his years; his scenes with his mother (Toni Collette) are small, heartbreaking marvels. And even if you figure out the film's surprise ending, it packs an amazingly emotional wallop when it comes, and will have you racing to watch the movie again with a new perspective. You may be able to shake off the sentimentality ofThe Sixth Sense, but its craftsmanship and atmosphere will stay with you for days.--Mark Englehart

(Very enjoyable ... but)
『The only reason I witheld the 5th star was that I really enjoyed the books and the changes made in the move to TV left me cold in parts. If you're looking for a transliteration then, like me, you will feel something is lacking. If an adaptation is OK then you'll like a well made show.』

(Taking a Bite Out of Crime)
『"Blood Ties" is about a visually impaired female private investigator who teams up with a 500-year-old male vampire to solve supernatural cases. Throw in an ex-partner to spice things up. While Vicki is solving cases she's torn between her ex-partner, Mike, and the dangerous, sexy, and exciting vampire, Henry. It has everything vampire fans love- good story lines, supernatural elements, perfect casting, and lots of heat between the 3 main characters. "Blood Ties" is a victim of bad timing- if it had come out a few years later I'm sure it would still be on the air.』

(Chemistry in perfect tandem.)
『Vicky Nelson, a PI based in Toronto, has gotten tangled up in something supernatural. Then realizes, she's stuck with it.

It's not all bad. After leaving the PD due to a severe eye condition that will eventually cause her complete blindness, her former partner and something else, Mike Celluci, as well as other members of the Toronto PD, help eachother out as strange cases seem to pop up and link them to Vicki's investigations.

Also helping her is a 480 year old vampire, the cherubic-looking Henry Fitzroy (though in the books is only 450), the illegitimate son of Henry VIII who oozes more sex appeal and enticement that manages to allude Vicki. But not for long.

Like any supernatural drama/thriller/mystery/romance shows, Blood Ties brings up every fringe element from ghosts to demons, windigo and everything else, that will remind you of other shows with the same flavor, like X-Files, Buffy/Angel, Charmed, Supernatural, Fringe, etc, yet still manages to remain unique and interesting. It's formulaic in some episodes, but Vicki is so compelling and such a force of nature with a well-balanced and great mix of characters as well as the interplay between the main and supporting characters. Character development of Vicki, Henry and Mike is also intricate and a complicated up and down ride building up from the first episode that culminates for a dramatic season/series finale, it was well done and beautifully executed by all three actors.

What is really remarkable is the chemistry between the three main leads: Vicky, Henry and Mike. The rapport and the witty dialogue will make you smile like an idiot and chuckles, quite charmed, at their delivery. The tension between the three lovebirds is so palpable, compelling and engrossing, intense and exciting you'll be praying the whole time that it'll get back on TV even though it's dunzo for good (but you never know!). It's one of the best vampire stories out there. If you were a fan of the Buffy-Angel then the eventual triangle with Spike, the romance between Vicki with Henry, and Vickie with Mike, is a more mature version with all the angst and giddiness that just isn't there in most romances with any TV show, on and off the air.

And that's what's sad. Like so many shows that are on weak networks (Blood Ties is on Lifetime) or just any network that doesn't allow a show to mature, it never gets the break it deserves, is poorly advertised then gets canceled despite the loyal base and growing following. Depending on you who ask, as well as the year, Blood Ties is either broken up in 2 seasons, 11 episodes each (like here on Amazon), or as one season (iTunes). If you buy this off iTunes, for about 46 bucks (when I bought it a year and a half ago since it was really up in the air if there would be the full season on DVD), it's all 22 episodes--SO WORTH IT! I can watch it on my iPod and also having the DVD version is nice too. Region 2 DVDs also have this format of including all 22 episodes as Season 1. Please don't judge a DVD series by its cover--this one is atrocious--care about the great content inside, a hidden gem you won't regret.

The books by Tanya Huff, which are the basis for the show, don't really imitate the books much. That's a good thing in my opinion since there is no heart-pounding romance or heat between Vicki and Henry in the book version. The first 2 episodes are, more or less, a pretty good adaptation of the first book, as well as Blood Lines (aka 'Wrapped'-S2Epi7/S1Epi19). Dare I say it, but the books are lackluster in comparison to the sizzling performances by our three main leads. You'll notice quite a bit of differences in feel, tone and the interpretation of each character between book and TV. Either way, at least we have both to remember these wonderful characters by, since both are now closed ended series.

FEATURES: Documentary of the making of Blood Ties, its backgrounds, interviews of the cast as they see/envision their characters and also Tanya Huff's take on the series, cast and adaptation.』


(Something for Everyone!)
『I love this series! Its a great combination of history, fantasy, and drama that brings to life an otherwise forgotten character in history. A modern day vampire solving supernatural crimes with a retired cop turned private investigator is a plot that should entertain everyone. There's drama, romance, sexual tension, and fantasy all wrapped up in a nice two season series.

The series' focus is on Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, and a private eye in modern day Toronto. The series suggests that Henry Fitzroy did not die of consumption as history believes but instead became a vampire.』


(Blood Ties)
『I really enjoyed this series. I liked the vampire and felt that he was what made the show so enjoyable to watch. The female investigator was too demanding and tried to be too tough. It didn't work for me, she was going blind and yet she was more powerful than the vampire? That just doesn't fit with the way the story leads one to believe that the vampire had all of these special talents. Overall though I really did enjoy the series.』
『Blood Ties: Season One premieres on DVD following its highly successful TV airing.

Vicki Nelson, a feisty, attractive ex-cop turned private investigator, witnesses a terrifying murder. She forms a crime-solving partnership and eventual love interest with a 480 year old vampire.』

(Rin)
『Good anime, I expected more mature content due to the hype about this series. but still good』

(A Horror Anime Entry Unlike Any Other)
『I like to consider myself an anime connoisseur and shy away from paying too much attention to specific genres (despite a penchant for mecha) figuring there's almost something enduring in anime regardless of the subject matter. That said, and even going in open minded, RIN Daughters of Mnemosyne is a virtual flood of plot threads and style cues with emphasis on gore and torture sequences. Before we get into all of that, let's take a look at the hard facts of this, the first official North American release of the property.

Released across two discs, RIN Daughters of Mnemosyne comes packaged as a pair of thin packs within an outer cardboard slipcase and consists of nearly six solid hours of episode runtime (with many additional special features). The show comes in at a total runtime of 270 minutes and wears an appropriate TV MA (mature, 17+) rating due to animated violence, some rough language, gore, and a whole lot of horror.

Language options are standard sub&dub with both an English dub and original Japanese soundtrack (either in Dolby 5.1 Digital Surround)&the choice of English subtitled if so inclined to turn them on.

Extras include a commentary by the English Cast&Staff, Promotional Videos, Japanese Cast Interview, textless opening and closing songs, and a host of fresh Funimation trailers on the second disc.

The story, which really goes beyond simple classification, goes something like this: Hermaphroditic immortal APOS has an insatiable appetite for the memories stored within Rin Asôgi; a professional and curvy human woman who it turns out is actually several millennium old. Aside from a love of vodka, Rin makes her living working as a private detective with priority on solving some of the mysteries behind her own twisted existence.

It turns out that Rin is more than even she realizes (as the death of her body results in her temporarily losing her memory, sometimes for dozens of years). Her long-term memories are kept in tact due to the fact that a "time spore", which effectively made her immortal, unable to age, and capable of surviving and regenerating from normally-fatal amounts of bodily damage, long ago infested her physical being.

Despite no concept of mortal beings and our struggles, APOS is just merciless in his/her definition of amusement, which includes the graphic and prolonged disassembly of the body for the purpose of understanding/ enjoyment in the process of suffering.

In case you aren't following along, this is some truly bizarre material laced with graphic torture sequences, lesbian sex acts, and some truly unique mythological elements (for example APOS is actually trying to bend the rules of his/her own existence by offering the immortal Rin as a sacrifice to Yggdrasil (the Tree of All Life), so as to become the eternal Guardian of the Tree; a position of great power and honor among the immortals/angels).

So just how does the show go about putting all of this strangeness into sequence? The answer is through a series of horrific vignettes spanning a sixty-five year period where Rin's flesh is sadistically pierced, blown up, shattered, ripped apart and just plain tortured time and time again.

It's a bit rough to endure even with the realization that this is after all, merely animated art (you may find yourself repeating something to the effect of "this is only anime, no humans were harmed in the making of this series" like a mantra during some of the prolonged sequences). I would love to come on here and put the show down for this reason alone but am forced to respect the prose, for better or for worse, in its ability to weave its tale. After all, what is anime if not a medium designed to tell fantastical stories with un-cartoon-like realism? So long as the viewer goes in expecting grotesque and erotic visuals, it's unfair for critics to fault the program for these same traits.

Compared to earlier import efforts, the official FUNimation release does an amazing job with the vocals. Colleen Clinkenbeard does a bang-up job as lead-antagonist Rin and Todd Haberkorn's portrayal of the twisted APOS leaves little to be desired. That said, the nod may still go to enjoying the series with the original Japanese dialog work simply on account of the fact that the dark and disturbing visuals simply feel a little less bizarre in their native delivery. Either language choice is quite rewarding.

In all, I won't kid you into believing that this is my kind of anime. I prefer the existentialistic tones of RahXephon or the subliminal impact of Evangelion to the graphic horror elements of RIN, but that isn't to say I can't appreciate the material for its truly unique vision and solid delivery used in making its point. So long as you enjoy your anime dark, gritty, graphic, and violent, there is much to be excited about here.』


(ero-guro (horror) with a supernatural twist...)
『RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne (Mnemosyne: Munemoshune no Musumetachi) is a horror/mystery six-episode TV anime produced by Xebec (Production IG subsidiary)/Genco (Azumanga Daioh). It was developed to commemorate the 10th year AT-X network which is a satellite network for TV Tokyo.

OK, so should you get this? That depends. In themes it is definitely ero-guro. What does this mean? Ero Guro Nansensu (Ero guro) is a Japanese art movement that started in the 20's and 30's that emphasized the "grotesque." Think Kafka. There is always a lot of erotic imagery, sexual corruption and moral decadence. It doesn't just mean straight-up "gore" it is more about frightening imagery with unnatural, supernatural and horrific stuff. Like turning into a giant insect in the Metamorphosis of Kafka. Its not necessarily violent, graphic or sexual, but it does tend to be this way sometimes...which is the case here more or less.

This series has a lot of violent action and murders in a near future Tokyo...and also some yuri stuff...the lead investigator Rin is an immortal detective or something like that. The animation is top notch, but it is a shorter series so that is kind of to be expected and it is done by a decent studio (Xebec worked on Noein).

Just be sure you are ready for some torture, violence imagery and you might be into this. The themes about immortality and the supernatural make it worth watching, but not if you don't like gore or grotesque imagery.

Its kind of reminiscent of Sola, in the supernatural vibe, but absolutely nothing like it because of the violence and dark vision...I preferred Sola to tell you the truth. I think it is better directed. But this isn't bad either (4 stars), just go in knowing what to expect...I don't regret watching it and the dark themes give it an edge...

I imported this, so I can't say what the US release will be like...I am sure Funi will do a good job, they almost always do...

There is a light novel and a manga of this also, not sure if either of these are available here yet...』


(Possible marketing error...)
『On the website it says the story is told in 6 hours, but the run time listed here is 300 minutes, which is only 5 hours. May need further investigation before purchase.』
『It Only Hurts Forever....

Rin Asogi is an immortal private detective with a thirst for vodka and a talent for attracting things that go bump in the night. In a series of nightmarish vignettes spanning sixty-five years, Rin’s lush body is sadistically pierced, blown up, and mulched to a bloody pulp. The fiend behind her tortured existence is Apos, an eternal being obsessed with sacrificing Rin to Yggdrasil, the tree of all life. While Rin struggles to unravel the secrets of her endless agony, Apos lurks in the shadows, eager to tear into her ripe body and devour the memories of her countless lives. Rin’s no stranger to the realm of the dead, but her next visit could last forever.』
『Although it incorporates a lot of up-to-date CG effects, the violent fantasyRin: Daughter of Mnemosyne(2008) feels older than it is. The story elements lifted from earlier series ranging fromAh! My GoddesstoXcontribute to the passé tone. Having ingested a "time fruit" produced by Yggdrasil (the tree of creation in Norse mythology), Rin, the voluptuous title character, is immortal--and she proves it by dying and coming back with a frequency Shirley MacLaine might envy. Assisted by her equally deathless sidekick Mimi, Rin pursues mysteries and malefactors that invariably involve the eerie Apos, the murderous immortal/cyborg Sayara, and various members of the Maeno family. All the evil schemes and feats of derring-do provide opportunities for a lot of fan-service nudity and grotesque violence.Rinfeels like a throwback to the sadistic misogyny ofWicked CityandDemon City Shinjuku: Rin, Mimi, and the secondary female characters are subjected to assaults that range from mutilation and torture to being simultaneously raped and devoured by male angels. Although the subtitle refers to Mnemosyne, the personification of memory in Greek mythology,Rinis better forgotten. (Rated TV MA: suitable for ages 18 and over: nudity, profanity, grotesque imagery, alcohol use, violence, violence against women, cannibalism, torture, and sexual situations, including lesbianism and bondage)--Charles Solomon

(What Spielberg did for sharks,Hitch did for The Birds!)
『It is certainly true.What Spielberg would do in 1975 for the reputation of sharks,12 years earlier venerable director Alfred Hitchcock did it for birds.Everyone I know who ever watched it certainly thought twice afterwards about our fine feathered friends hovering above us and the possibility of their "turning" at any moment.However what is easily forgotten in Hitch's 1963 film is that there is a romantic story that plays out throughout its' run of two hours.
It involves one Melanie Daniels(Tippi Hedron) who is the daughter of a wealthy west coast newspaper owner.She goes into a pet shop one day to pick up a myna bird she ordered,which isn't in.In walks Mitch Brenner(Rod Taylor)a lawyer who instantly recognizes her and decides to play a joke on her by making her think he thinks she is a store employee.He asks for some love birds for his daughter and asks many detailed questions on birds that Melanie can't possibly know.In the end the joke comes out,Mitch leaves the store and Melanie though infuriated has taken an instant liking to the handsome prankster.
Obtaining his address through a jotted down license plate number she drops a cage of lovebirds with a note in front of his apartment door;but he has gone out of town for the weekend.Melanie follows directions and ends up in a town called Bodega Bay about 60 miles north of San Francisco.She motor boats her way to his house,leaves her present,and leaves the same way.Just before she reaches the dock a seagull swoops down on her head and flies off;drawing blood.Mitch having spotted Melanie boating away arrived ahead of her and helps her.The two become more closely acquainted and Melanie decides to stay overnight and rents a room in town.While there a seagull smashes mysteriously into the house door.Next day she attends Mitch's daughter's birthday party and birds make an all out attack on the attendees.
Meanwhile Melanie and Mitch's mother Lydia(Jessica Tandy),who is weary of all of Mitch's "interests",draw ever so slowly closer;through their own efforts and through their joint stand with the mounting avian problem.When Lydia discovers the grisly remains of a neighbour the bird problem is about to blow wide open.In town later that day in a restaurant there is some lively discussion,both pro and con,about what is happening.Suddenly a gas attendant gets attacked and gas flows down a hill.A nearby smoker ignites the gas which kills him and the ignited trail follows itself back to the pumps which blow up.All bets are off now and the birds take this moment to launch an all out assault and pandemonium reigns supreme.
Mitch,his daughter,Lydia and Melanie board themselves into Mitch's home to stave off the onslaught.In the claustrophobic atmosphere all wonder when and how the next attack will come.They hold their own and for the time are relatively safe,but when Melanie decides to investigate a scratching noise in an upstairs bedroom she almost ends up another victim of the birds.Luckily Mitch and his mother come to her rescue but she is badly cut and in shock.In need of immediate medical attention there is nothing else to do but make a dash for freedom.Mitch slowly makes his way to the garage and brings his car out front.The house and surrounding property is filled with birds of all kinds which he has to gingerly make his way through and as does his family with Melanie.Once inside the car he slowly drives down the lane way and to freedom and help.
The ending is a kind of "cheat",in the sense we get no resolution as to the whys of the bird attacks,just a "sailing off into the sunset" moment.But I'm sure Hitch wanted to leave it up to the audience as his message of railing against complacency comes through loud and clear in this film;take nothing for granted in life,not even the birds.However I find the picture gets a little bogged down in the sub plot of Melanie and Mitch and their growing relationship(along with a clinging mother and Melanie's lack of one),which tends to drag the films' pace at times.Hitch seemed a little over zealous in trying to create an escalatingly ominous atmosphere in regards to the bird attacks.The two hours of celluloid seems just a little more than it should have been.
Technically speaking this film while crisp and generally clear shows it still needs some work on it as there are many areas of excess dirt and it does get grainy;for the price tag they are asking this should have been pristine.I would invite a comparison of Hitch's "To Catch a Thief" released in a two disc remastered set by Paramount and you will see what "The Birds" SHOULD have looked like.There are alot of special features however that are a welcome addition to this release.A featurette about the film,the surviving scripts of the original ending and a deleted scene,the storyboard sequence,Hendron's screen test,a Universal newsreel on Hitch,production stills and notes,cast and filmmaker bios and the trailer.
Finally,The Birds is definitely one of Hitchcock's more well known pieces and it certainly had a changing effect on many viewers after its' initial theatrical showing and subsequent airings on TV.The underlying romantic aspect of the film in my opinion tends to be a bit of a drag at times on the films' pace as the "master of suspense" I found got a little more "heavy handed" in his later years/offerings.This along with the less than stellar release print brings this rating down a good full star.Still,Hitch's most obvious stride into Sci-Fi territory,has many memorable and unforgettable moments that make it worth recommending.You may not remember the plot,but you will remember "The Birds".



(THE BIRDS)
『One of Alfred Hitchcocks best movies. In the day before computer generation, the methods that the movie makers used to make the special effects works. If you purchase this movie, make sure you watch the interviews with surviving cast and the methods used to make the special effects. I enjoyed this movie when I fist saw it and I purchased it for my SciFi/Halloween line-up. Several great stars in the movie and it is done as well as a movie of the time could be done. Classic Hitchcock - I highly recommend this movie.』

(UCK)



MISTER HITCHCOCK...............

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

SO DUMB, ITS NOT EVEN ENTERTAINING.』


(The Birds DVD)
『I needed this in a hurry and shipping was expedited and received in a timely manner. The item was in perfect condition. Thanks!』

(Reacquaint with "The Birds")
『Hitchcock's 1963 drama/horror/thriller "The Birds" details the story of a city woman (Tippi Hedren) going to the rural coastal town Bodega Bay to play a coquettish prank on a lawyer whom she met in the city (Rod Taylor). As she starts to get to know the town the birds mysteriously attack in force.

"The Birds" might well be the first official nature-runs-amok flick, which were made hugely popular a dozen years later with the release of "Jaws," the film that opened the Pandora's box to creature-on-the-loose flicks.

I believe "The Birds" should be enjoyed at face value as a simple story of birds mysteriously attacking a coastal hamlet, but a more allegorical interpretation is that Melanie (Hedren) represents modern ideas (for 1963, that is) that attempt to infect the rural communities where people live and think in a simpler, more conservative way. The village is not ready to accept and incorporate these "new" concepts and so nature itself attempts to vomit out the infection, irregardless of hometown damage and casualties. Yet this interpretation seems to be rejected by the film itself in the restaurant scene where the mother with two kids hysterically rebukes Melanie for supposedly causing the bird attacks; when Melanie slaps the mother, this irrational notion is 'slapped' out of the viewer as well, as if to say, "That's stupid, Melanie is not the cause of this, whether literally or figuratively."

WHAT DOESN'T WORK:

- For the better part of an hour the story plays out as a slow drama, which will likely turn off those with ADHD. Personally, I find this approach refreshing in light of the frenetic editing and absurd action sequences of modern "blockbusters." Films like "The Birds" seem almost daring by comparison; in fact, it's startling. Besides, the beautiful Bodega Bay photography provides some nice backdrop eye-candy to help maintain one's attention with the soap operatics.
- One obvious plot hole is: Why do Melanie, the schoolmarm and the kids flee the schoolhouse? Wouldn't it be wiser to simply blockade themselves in an inner room with no windows? Or maybe there isn't such an interior room big enough to fit all the kids; after all, it appears to be a fairly small schoolhouse.
- Complaints about Melanie's supposedly lame prank on Mitch (Taylor) are nitpicking at best; and criticisms of Melanie foolishly searching for the source of a mysterious sound -- even though she must know what it is -- can easily be chalked up to curiosity killing the cat (for instance, while stopping by Point Pleasant, WV, on vacation in 2005 I went into an old abandoned building that used to be a home for troubled kids back in the day; my wife refused to go any where near the creepy domicile but I HAD to go in and look around; even the satanic graffiti and shocked birds flying out the windows didn't deter me!).
- After recently seeing films like the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", I can hardly find "The Birds" horrifying, although I certainly find it very entertaining. Really, the creepiest aspect of the movie is Mitch's hovering, suspicious mother, played by Jessica Tandy -- whoa, is she scary.
- The age difference of Mitch and his sister seems off. Taylor (Mitch) was 33 years-old during filming, although he looks to be more like 40 or older, but his sister in the story (Veronica Cartwright) was only 13. That's a twenty-year difference. I could see her being his daughter, but his sister? Also, if Veronica is 13 that means his creepy mother had sex a mere 13 years before -- and that's a really scary thought!

WHAT WORKS:

- As noted above, the slow dialogue-driven drama of the first hour is actually appealing in light of the modern glut of moronic cgi-laden, frenetically-edited drivel, not to mention the awesome coastal Northern California cinematography.
- Viewing the film is like going back in time to the early 60s. It's entertaining to see the clothing and decor styles, as well as social interactions, etc.
- Although I don't find Tippi sexy, I do enjoy her facial expressions. I know this is an odd comment, but she does have that Paul Stanley pouty lips rockstar expression down pat.
- Suzanne Pleshette's in the cast -- now SHE's sexy.
- There are numerous memorable and thrilling sequences -- the various bird attacks, the guy with no eye balls, the phone booth scene, etc. I also enjoyed the interesting discussion on birds in the diner sequence
- [END SPOILER!] I love the mysterious way the film ends with no explanation or dialogue. The sea of birds seem to permit their departure, even though the fowls could easily stop them if they wanted.

The film runs 2 hours.

GRADE: A-』

『AS BEAUTIFUL BLONDE MELANIE DANIELS ROLLS INTO BODEGA BAY INPURSUIT OF ELIGIBLE BACHELOR MITCH BRENNER, SHE IS INEXPLICABLY ATTACKED BY A SEAGULL. SUDDENLY THOUSANDS OF BIRDS ARE FLOCKING INTO TOWN, PREYING ON SCHOOLCHILDREN AND RESIDENTS IN A TERRIFYING SERIES OF ATTACKS. CONTAINS MANY BONUS FEATURES.』
『Vacationing in northern California, Alfred Hitchcock was struck by a story in a Santa Cruz newspaper: "Seabird Invasion Hits Coastal Homes." From this peculiar incident, and his memory of a short story by Daphne du Maurier, the master of suspense created one of his strangest and most terrifying films.The Birdsfollows a chic blonde, Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), as she travels to the coastal town of Bodega Bay to hook up with a rugged fellow (Rod Taylor) she's only just met. Before long the town is attacked by marauding birds, and Hitchcock's skill at staging action is brought to the fore. Beyond the superb effects, however,The Birdsis also one of Hitchcock's most psychologically complicated scenarios, a tense study of violence, loneliness, and complacency. What really gets under your skin are not the bird skirmishes but the anxiety and the eerie quiet between attacks. The director elevated an unknown model, Tippi Hedren (mother of Melanie Griffith), to being his latest cool, blond leading lady, an experience that was not always easy on the much-pecked Ms. Hedren. Still, she returned for the next Hitchcock picture, the underratedMarnie. Treated with scant attention by serious critics in 1963,The Birdshas grown into a classic and--despite the sci-fi trappings--one of Hitchcock's most serious films.--Robert Horton

(Beautiful remastering)
『The only thing preventing this from 5 stars is that for some reason the log lady intros are not remastered. Everything else is remastered but the log lady intros remind me of worn down VHS tapes.』

(Twin Peaks)
『This is an all-in-one collection of one of the best "dark" television series. I was more than pleased with this item. I had seen either season one or season two but I didn't want to buy them seperately. This is the one set to buy. David Lynch fans will love it. I am a very satisfied customer. This is an excellent series for a "marathon".


(Truly IS a gold box set)
『This version of the series on DVD is truly awesome. For the first time, the pilot episode is included, and it's so great to have the ENTIRE series in one set. The perfect gift for any true TP fan, and a great gift for anyone you want to introduce the series to.』

(OK, it's time for a cup of joe and a donut)
『One of the most original and interesting tv shows was the 1990s series Twin Peaks, and it has developed a bit of a cult following. The show was created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and initially centered on solving the murder of a teenage girl, Laura Palmer, in a quiet Northwestern logging town called Twin Peaks. But though the series focused on Laura's death, the show was compelling because it highlighted the interactions between the interesting and eccentric characters, exposed seedy events infusing the town and environs -- complete with paranormal undertones. Basically the series explored the mystery of life, the mystery of death, and the mystery of the woods surrounding Twin Peaks.

Although the first and second seasons have been available in DVD format for a while now, the critical pilot episode was not included in these previous editions. However, you can now get the complete series of Twin Peaks -- the pilot episode plus seasons one and two -- with Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition.

The DVD collection also includes noteworthy additions such as international versions of the pilot, an interview with David Lynch, Log Lady introductions for each episode, the "Falling" music video featuring Julee Cruise, Japanese Georgia Coffee commercials, the "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue and "Twin Peaks" sketch featuring Kyle MacLachlan, and behind the scenes pictures.

This DVD set is a great way to experience the show.

Enjoy!』


(Wow, I lived in Twin Peaks!!!!!!!)
『This was truly an event with my wife and myself...then and now. We lived in North Bend, Washington for six years where David Lynch transformed the town as well as Snoquallame(sp?)and the lodge at the falls into the world of Twin Peaks. We couldn't help ourselves identifying the locations as they came up while watching this surrealistic oddity on network TV. We couldn't believe it made it on the air. We both loved it. Remember, this television evolution started with Hill Street Blues...St Elsewhere...Thirty Something...Letterman etc etc as the ultimate Stupid Human Trick!!!

We moved to Seattle while the crews were still filming, but it sure made our stay in rural western Washington memorable. It sure is great to have the whole TV series, including the pilot, all in one package. I noticed someone gave a single star rating for leaving out the motion picture, but the film wasn't really part of the TV project .....and wasn't very good I says!
















Peaks.』

Season 1
Twin Peaksdevotees, who have kept the mystery alive on myriad Web sites, will jump at the chance to return to the spooky town that might just be the anti-Mayberry. Rarely syndicated, theTwin Peakstelevision series has lost none of its quirky and queasy power to get under your skin and haunt your dreams. So brew up a pot of some "damn fine coffee," dig into some cherry pie, and lose yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder mystery and soap opera, which unfolds, in one character's words, "like a beautiful dream and terrible nightmare all at once."Twin Peakswas a pop culture phenomenon for one season at least, until the increasingly bizarre twists and maddening teases so confounded audiences that they lost interest in just who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). This series was a career peak for most of its eclectic ensemble cast, including Kyle MacLachlan as straight-arrow FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, Michael Ontkean as local Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Sherilyn Fenn as bad girl Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton as waitress Norma Jennings, and Catherine Coulson as the Log Lady. Alumni enjoying current success include Lara Flynn Boyle ("The Practice"), as good girl Donna Hayward, and Miguel Ferrer ("Crossing Jordan"), hilarious as forensics expert Albert Rosenfield (who has absolutely no "social niceties").--Donald Liebenson

Season 2
"Don't search for all the answers at once," says a giant appearing to FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. "A path is formed by laying one stone at a time." InTwin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. "Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck" don't cut it here. It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2, die-hardPeakerscan rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening, sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose bucolic surroundings hide "things dark and heinous." (If you're new to Twin Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which captureTwinat its peak.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!) unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And, yes, that's a pre-X-FilesDavid Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual DEA agent.

InTwin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are enteringA Few Good Menterritory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, "All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience," with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose inThe Searchers, as "the world's most decrepit room service waiter," thenTwin Peaksmay just make you feel right at home. --Donald Liebenson

On the DVDs
Twin Peakslived in its own bizarre, dark, amazing, fantasy world, fresh from the mind of creator David Lynch. The extra features on this Gold Box edition (which includes both seasons and the long-awaited pilot) intend to draw you into the milieu surrounding the world of the story, and offer you a glimpse into the gestation and making of the show, while gently poking fun at itself. To quote Lynch at the beginning ofA Slice of David Lynch, "This is the strangest damn thing." He's referring to the act of sitting on a set in Los Angeles, drinking coffee and eating cherry pie with cast members Madchen Amick, Kyle MacLachlan, and personal assistant John Wentworth years after the show ended. But he may as well have also been referring to the show itself, and to the enormous popular phenomenon it accidentally became. As can be inferred from the title,A Slice of Lynchis a glimpse inside the creative mind of Lynch through his interactions with his old stars and assistant, and watching this, you can't help but understand that Lynch operates on a different plain from normal humanity, and his artistic process, while often befuddling, yields incredibly original results to a degree that almost boggles the mind; happy accidents seem to stem from almost every artistic decision he makes. The strength of this feature is that it makes it clear that the world ofTwin Peaksreally existed, it just happened to live in the minds of David Lynch and co-writer Mark Frost.Twin Peaks Festivalis almost an afterthought, it doesn't fit with the rest of the features in depth or insight, but curious fans will get a kick out of seeing what happens when the most rabid, hardcoreTwin Peaksgather in the Northwest--on the sights of many of the show's scenes--for a fan festival that beats the heck out of anyStar Trekconvention.Secrets from Another Place: Creating Twin Peaksoffers a meaty, four-part look into how the show came about, the filming of both seasons, and the creation of the music by composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise.Black Lodge Archivefeatures six different items ranging from the "Falling" music video to bumpers and galleries that don't do much to offer insight into the show, but they offer an unexpected, added bonus: watching Agent Cooper hawk Georgia Coffee in ads that aired only in Japan. They are quite possibly more hilarious and bizarre than anything in the show itself. The features do a great job of reminding an old audience, and explaining to a new one, why the show had such a devoted following. To quote one actress from the show: "It was unique, it came at a time when television was boring... there was nothing else like it on television."--Daniel Vancini

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review
(Rose Red DVD)
『This was really a great horror movie. It's a long movie; and
it's done really well.』


(Rose Red)
『I've seen it before but I fell a sleep and missed a lot. I've finally received it and watch. Guess what fell a sleep again. I know which part I missed. So, I know which content to search. And finally which part I missed and figure it all out in the film. This was a great movie and scary. Stephen King is an excellent writer. I know I will watch it again and again.』

(I Love This Movie!)
『This is my favorite Stephen King movie by far! I remember watching it as a 3 night mini-series some years ago and fell in love with it. All of the characters' personalities are strong and make this movie interesting. I also do not think it's a "cheesy ghost movie," like some have said. The hauntings are unique and intriguing.』

(Rose Red (2002)-Not very original for a Steven King story)
『Rose Red (2002) was not very original for a Steven King story. I enjoyed it to the tune of four stars but the reason is that I am an easy mark for almost any haunted house story. King stated during the documentary that he wanted to make the ultimate haunted house film. In order to make this the definative haunted house movie Steven King recycled some old ideas and lines from Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, and his own work in THE SHINING (and probably others that I am not aware of).

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.』


(Mystery Lover)
『Red Rose is a wonderful follow-up for the Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. I have both tapes and have enjoyed them immensely.』
『The chilling tale of Dr. Joyce Reardon, an obsessed psychology professor who commissions a team of psychics and a gifted 15-year-old autistic girl, Annie Wheaton, to literally wake up a supposedly dormant haunted mansion, Rose Red. Their efforts unleash myriad spirits and uncover horrifying secrets.』
『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. Most of it doesn't make much sense, but at its bestRose Redis absurd and creepy at the same time.--Bret Fetzer

Taste That Famous Cherry Pie

The Recipe

8 inch Crust:1-1/2 c. flour, 1/2 c. Crisco, 1/4 c. ice water
Mix flour and Crisco with fork. Add ice water. Mix with your hands. When blended, roll into ball and refrigerate overnight. To roll out: flour both rolling pin and flat surface, split ball in two, roll out 1/2 to fit pan and 1/2 for lattice.

Filling:3 c. cherries (pitted, sour frozen); 1 c. water; 1c. Baker's sugar; 4 T. cornstarch; 1/8 t. salt
Thaw cherries at room temp and strain (yields 2 c. juice). Taste for sweetness, more/less sugar may be needed. Add 1 c. water to make 3 c. juice (reserve 1 c. juice for cornstarch mix). Dissolve cornstarch in 1 c. juice, stir with whip. Combine 2 c. juice, 2/3 c. sugar, salt, and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mix, cook until clear, about 5 min. (if cooked to long, syrup gets gummy). Remove from heat, stir in 1/3 c. sugar (blend thoroughly). Pour mixture over cherries, fold with wooden spoon, cool (stir mix while cooling to prevent scum from forming on top). Pour mix in pie shell. Top completed pie with lattice crust.

Bake @ 425 degrees for 35-40 min.
