(thoughts on twilight)
『1st...to truly appreciate the movie you have to read the books. I made the mistake of watching the movie 1st and I thought it was terrible. I didn't catch any of the hidden meanings and things left unsaid, But I kept hearing how great the stories were. Anyways, I'm so glad I gave this series a 2nd chance. The movie was much better after I understood what was really going on. I bought all 4 books and the movie and I just watched New Moon. I loved it, I will definitely buy that as well. Stephenie Meyer is a rare gem. We would only be so lucky if she wrote more supernatural thrillers.』

(Wonderful and very atmospheric)
『I am not a fan of vampires, but when this film was recommended to me many times by friends I had to see it to find out what all the fuss was about. I am so glad that I did - it's one of the best films I've seen all year. The film has so much atmosphere and the chemistry between the two main characters is electric. The filming is so beautifully done and the soundtrack compliments it so much. The choice of cast was perfect, the production quality was amazing. The only thing I was unhappy about - the fact that it ended!』

(So Low Budget it hurt..)
『I watched this with my tween sister who thinks Edward is so fantastic...and since I'd read all the books, I also wanted to check out the movie.

I was sadly disappointed.

The Harry Potter movies are obviously not made for any academic audience, but the world is believable. I feel like the movies have made a real world for the characters for me to watch, a word that meets my expectations (almost to the T) that the books gave me. I'm not exactly sure what to make of the Twilight movie. I'm pretty sure a group of high school kids got together and made this as a final project...

I understand that this movie had a very small budget, and I'm able to cut the special effects some slack (but sparkly...seriously? I'm sure there was a less gay way to do that...I mean, if I were Pattinson, and I'm a girl by the way, I would have been pretty pissed at how sparkly I was. DIAMONDS, NOT GLITTER!)

The acting was...atrocious. I've never heard of Kristen Stewart before, to be totally honest, so I have nothing else to compare her to. I've seen Pattinson in Goblet of Fire, obviously, and I thought he did pretty well in that, granted his on screen time with lines was next to nothing. I don't know if it was the low budget-ness or a bad acting coach, bad director or what happened here...but it definitely belonged in an independent film festival and not on the big screen (sorry to offend any independent film makers, because I've seen quite a few amazing independent films).

The dialogue felt forced most of the time...like the screen writer wrote part of it and didn't know how to fill in space so it was up to the actors to improv...about all the time.

And the make up? What did they do to Pattinson? I saw him in Goblet of Fire, and I about drooled all over myself. What the heck happened in this movie?! Was there too much make up? Was it cheap? Or is he just not right for this part? I saw him in a preview for another movie he's got coming out and he seemed like a good enough actor, and looked normal...so I must blame this movie for his performance in this. And no, I'm not saying Pattinson is the greatest thing since sliced bread, I'm not a 15 year old girl who nourishes a dream that I'll meet him some day.

I knew most of this going into the movie, though, so I can't say I was too upset by it. I don't see how it could have made new fans by it, I was certain it would be "Twi-hards" only that would fall for this movie, but I am wrong again. Oh, and New Moon broke records this week and is now the 3rd highest grossing film! Admittedly, it was better than Twilight, but they did not fix the sparkly vampire and the only thing that made me enjoy it was watching Taylor Lautner without a shirt for about 3/4 of it. Oh, and yes, I do secretly dream that he's about three years older and falls madly inlove with me someday ;)』


(I love Twilight!)
『The movie was just as good as the book! I loved the series and I just watched "New Moon" yesterday.』

(An Honest, Neutral Review of Why "Twilight" is NOT a Good Film)
『The Twilight Saga is unavoidable in both film and book form. The books, which I've never read, were bestsellers and the recent release of "New Moon," the film is breaking records. Teenage girls are absolutely gaga for the star Robert Pattinson and it finally intrigued me enough to watch this film. I do have a slightly biased opinion as the entire premise of the film seemed ludicrous to me, but I found a glimmer of hope in the film's director Catherine Hardwicke, who was responsible for the very honest look at teenagers with the film "Thirteen."

What really surprised me about this film is that it doesn't have much of a plot. Kristen Stewart plays Isabella "Bella" Swan, who moves from Arizona to Forks, Washington to stay with her father (Billy Burke). Bella inexplicably begins school moments after arriving in Forks and discovers The Cullen's, a group of mysterious foster kids from Alaska. Even more mysterious and intriguing, to her and the rest of the student body, is Edward Cullen (Pattinson), a quiet, pale, reserved 17-year-old. Bella starts to notice the Cullen's are more than just a little different and when Edward stops a van from running her over, she realizes that he may not even be human...99% of the world knows that he's a vampire, but not a vampire of the typical, blood-sucking variety. The Cullen's are "vegetarian" vampires who only snack on the blood of animals. There's a story here, obviously but nothing really happens in it.

Almost everything here is underwritten, characters and plot included. The characterization is particularly hollow and calling the characters "characters," is inaccurate; these are names with pretty faces attached to them. We're talking about a film here with an uneventful plot and characters completely void of depth. Twilight is supposed to be a supernatural love story geared towards a teenage demographic, but where's the emotion or poignancy that a love story needs in order to work as one? It's certainly not here. The dialogue in this movie is so melodramatic, I almost felt nauseous. The conversations between Bella and Edward are particularly embarrassing to watch. This does not sound like the "Romeo&Juliet" of the 21st Century, but the banter of two prepubescent children. A quick example; "Beautiful? This is the skin of a killer, Bella."

As for the performances, no one seems to be putting any effort into them. Pattinson looks uncomfortable and his facial expressions, as well as his delivery of the film's dialogue sound pain fully forced. I do believe Hardwicke is a talented director, but she made a lot of poor creative choices here starting with her decision to direct such a poorly written script in the first place. One of her most annoying directorial decisions was her overuse of the slow-motion to illustrate the anxiety of a character. I can say only one positive thing about the film's production value and that is the somber, gray color palette utilized by the film's cinematographer...It could've been really effective if the tone of the overall film had been altered. Anyone who doesn't agree with what I'm saying about the film's poor quality need look no further than the baseball scene. How horribly executed can a scene be? The acting, the dialogue, the choice of music, Pattinson's snarl, and the cinematography are so bad it's embarrassing. Finally, this scene has no relevance to the plot of the film. It's muddled, meandering filler slipped into the film as an excuse to bring the character's to a different conflict in the story. If I was not aware of the inescapable Twilight frenzy, I would swear this film was a direct-to-DVD release; no one with a knowledge or appreciation of American cinema would call Twilight a good movie.

Quite frankly, watching Twilight was like watching a high-school play written by a socially inept teenager. Obviously, my opinion isn't going to affect the success of the series. Twilight is one of those things that strikes some chord with young American audiences and has become a record-breaking smash success. I guarantee that Twilight will not remain a part of the American moviegoer's consciousness for any prolonged amount of time and just like hugely successful boy bands, this is a phase that will fade away in time.

Twilight left me shaking my head so many times in the two hours I was watching it. I was not fascinated, intrigued, or stimulated about anything going on in the film and the only way I can imagine someone being those things is if they were not educated. That last part is sarcasm, but quite honestly this is a film that people will look back on ten years from now and think "how did I possibly think that was any good."

GRADE: D』

『Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)—a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as wellas a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.


『The big-screen adaptation ofTwilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is aimed squarely at its key demographic: teen girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a brooding, pale, undead teen who could kill you instantly at any moment. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks." On her first day at school, Bella appears to (visibly) nauseate her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Turns out the scent of her blood is this vampire's "brand of heroin," and his struggle not to kill her causes an irresistible pull toward her. Whether he's attracted for the normal reasons or because she smells especially sweet to him is vague in the book and even less clear on-screen; nonetheless, Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, which sets her on a dangerous path when a few nomad vampires show up in town, one particularly keen on tracking the human. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen),Twilightis full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately, is Pattinson. While he certainly looks the part, his Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, who is British, used James Dean as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls about the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a forest warning her how dangerous he is, he comes off more like a whimpering puppy than a debonair monster. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (particularly in their big kissing scene) is palpable, which, let's face it, is really what matters toTwilightfans most. --Ellen A. Kim

On the DVD
The special features forTwilightkick off with an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. There's some mumbling and groaning from Stewart (one gets the impression that Stewart is quite similar to her reserved character in the film), some standard behind-the-scenes observations from Hardwicke, and a lot of awkward self-deprecating remarks from Pattinson (of their big kiss, he opines: "This is quite difficult 'cause I have a really flat head, and so it's quite difficult to get a correct angle."). What's funny is Pattinson stumping Hardwicke with some basic plot questions, like "Why doesn't James just kill [Bella when she's packing at her house]?" While Hardwicke and Stewart attempt to answer, Pattinson doesn't appear satisfied. The deleted and extended scenes include an additional dream-sequence kiss (rightly cut because it took away from the buildup to their first kiss) and more footage of Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre). The seven-part documentary is a pretty thorough look at the development of the film, including stunts, special effects, and the involvement of author Stephenie Meyer. Another featurette looks at the Comic-Con frenzy; however, it spends no time on how the actors were cast, which would have been fun for fans who did all their own mental casting while reading the books. Also included: three music videos and trailers. --Ellen A. Kim

(Five Stars + Spoilers Follow)
『This show just keeps getting better and better. Season Five was no exception. Every eps. was must see tv from the very beginning learning Ben did move the island to the surprising ending of throwing the bomb down that hatch that may or may not have caused the Incident.

They moved the Island. As the Island moved Sawyer, Juliet, Miles and Daniel flashed all over the place before Locke finally moved it again causing it to stop in the seventies when the Dharma Initiative was alive and running the island, Sawyer, Miles, and Juliet end up joining while waiting for Locke to return to the island. Sawyer and Juliet become a new kick ass couple. Miles contiunes to make us all laugh while dealing with daddy issues his father none other then the doctor we've seen in all the videos. Daniel looses his marbles and then makes us cry when he's sent back in time by his mother Eloise only to be shot by her younger self. Oh yeah Charles Widmore is his father I think we have a winner in the worse parentage ever.

Of the island Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, and Sun deal with re-entering the world post-island still believing everyone else back on the island is in trouble. This gets pushed further along by arrivals of Locke and then Ben urging and maniplating them all to go back to the island. They all end up heading back to island with the help of Eloise. Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid end up back in the 70s when the new plane crashes while Sun, Locke, Frank and Ben end up in 2007 after crashing in the same plane.

Ben contiunes to be vie for the best psycho award. After moving the island he's banished from it Ben spends his time preparing for his return. Convincing everyone else to go back, stopping in London to promise Widmore he'd kill Penny in exchange for his own daughter's murder. He talks Locke out of suicide before murdering him and staging it as a suicide. Ah Ben your an overachiever. But once back on the island Ben's forced to "face the island" for his crimes. Oddly enough Alex's death appears to be the only one the island's concerned about and not mass murder and his millions of other crimes. The smoke monster delievers the answer via Alex to do everything Locke says. Hmm not
not what I was expecting but that was fun to watch. Surprisingly Ben does everything Locke says even kills Jacob when he's ordered too. Oh that wasn't Locke....oops. On the other hand maybe that was the best punishment for Ben. Good job Island

Locke poor Locke he flashes around the island with Sawyer and the gang learning the only way he can fix everything is bring everyone back to the island. Unfortunately, he has to die to do it. Locke tries desperately to convince the Oceanic Six to return to the island with no luck. The is murdered by Ben and returned to the island in a coffin.
Once back on the island Locke is a new man. He has a direction, a purpose, he has fun Ben setting out to see the leader Jacob who no one appears to have ever seen except the never aging Richard. Turns out Jacob does exists unfortunately, Locke is not Locke and has dreamed of killing Jacob for ages.

Jacob- to my surprised actually exists in the last eps he is shown having visited every Oceanic Six and Sawyer at a turning point in their lives. Its hard to tell if he's good or evil. He gets Kate out of shopping lifting at an early age, gives Sawyer the pen to write his letter, and distracts Sayid and Nadia which ends up in Nadia's death. While Kate and Sawyer probably would have grown up the same Nadia probably wouldn't have been in the middle of the road when she was killed however if Ben was right about the man who killed her (which its been so who knows) he might have killed Sayid instead. Hurley was the only one Jacob talked to after the island and Jacob appears to have healed Locke so he may be Good but this is LOST so who knows.

Esau- and Not Locke-Guy who wants Jacob dead or Esau as some of LOST boards have been calling him- Esau wants Jacob dead. Jacob keeps bringing people to the island who fight and destroy. Esau insists it will always be the same Jacob insists there's only one ending and keeps bring people. Esau wants to kill Jacob. And he doe. By using Locke and convince Ben to kill Jacob which he does. But Locke's body was found in the box so has Esau been impersonating dead people all this time? Is the smoke monster? What does this all mean?

The second crash-Everyone else who didn't flash to the 70s or run off with Ben are heading to the broken Statue
with a huge box containing the dead Locke to see Richadus or Richard. One of them was visited by Jacob in a hospital. Richard is shocked to see Locke's dead body. Are they the whos coming? That Jacob warned Esau about. Or Jack and the crew coming back from the 70s after Juliet denonated the bomb? Or someone else?

Desmond- Desmond beats up Ben. Desmon beats up Ben. That was awsome and a long time coming. Desmond's also the only one who's the most correct about the island that there all just a pawn in someone else's game. Jacob and Esau? Or just one or other? There wasn't nearly enough Desmond this season.

The Bomb-Did it flash at the end? Or cause the incident? Or did it reset things? That's what I love about this show figuring out what the hell is going on. I so hope Juliet isn't dead.

There's millions of other things that happened on this season that I left out or forgot about. But that's what's amazing about LOST there are millions of questions, theories and things happening in each ep that its impossible to name them all or figure them out. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and trying to figure it out right along with the show. Just when you think you've got it all figured out like there's no Jacob they turn it all around on you. God I love this show. Its so good. I can't wait to see how it all ends next season.

But there is one small down side. Kate- I don't know if its the actress or the storylines for her but she is the weakest link on the show. The charactor sucks the energy right out of the show. The Jack and Kate arc was by far the most boring part of LOST. I can't blame Jack because even he gets better when Kate's not around. She has become by far the most useless charactor. There's no reason for her to be on the show anymore. She does nothing and she adds nothing to the story.































(Why available earlier in Region 2 but not in the USA?)
『Why is LOST Season Five already available for purchase in Region 2, but an entire month and an half later in Region 1? I think we're being cheated. Any objective reason for this delay? I preordered this item but feel a bit ripped off.』

(Lost: The Complete Fifth Season)
『Excellent buy! Great delivery time and item in Perfect condition!
We enjoyed this series very much! Recommend to everyone!
Make an excellent gift idea for anyone!!』


(Lost continues to amaze.)
『Its pretty simple. There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who love Lost and those who say "when are they getting off that island". Most people who dislike Lost have not watched every episode. If you miss episodes then yea... your going to be Lost, pardon the pun. In my opinion Lost is the greatest TV show ever. Consistant quality from episode 1 to season 5's finale.』

(rip off)
『While I may a voice from the wilderness, let us take a look at the facts!

season one 24 episodes
season two 23 episodes
season three 22 episodes
season four 13 episodes (writer's strike year)

Fact #1 ABC said that there were to be 7 seasons, now reduced to six.
Fact #2 ABC said that they would increase the amount of episodes to make up for the shortness of season 4. NOT
Fact #3 ABC aired two "NEW" episodes in season 5 that were no more than "previously on lost"

season five 16 episodes. add season 1-4 divide by four equals 20.5 episodes. By my math season five should have 21 episodes, or more.

ABC has mis-managed this series so badly. For example: in an effort to get public viewers they started LOST 4 or 5 minutes early (cutting Dances with the Stars short) and many times ran into the next show late to get people watching a "NEW series. If you watched season one and two, you'll remember the six week breaks, then in season two ABC decides to start showing the Tail section 2 weeks into the 6 week break???

My point: I love the series LOST, I watch it over and over. I can't wait for the DVD release of season five. But, at what a cost to the long time viewers of LOST. Only to be diappointed with short seasons and no seventh season.

conclusion: Dallas always had 28-30 shows a season, for 14 yrs. Well the series "24" runs 24 episodes, you get your bang for the buck there.』

『The epic story of Lost twists, turns and time shifts in its brilliant fifth season. Packed with bonus material, including a revealing interview with the cast and an exclusive behind the scenes feature with Josh, Lost is better than ever.

When destiny calls, the Oceanic 6 frantically race back to the island. Discover what forced them to return and find out the fate of all those who were left behind. The answers to some of Lost's most pressing questions are revealed in this spectacular 5-disc collection, complete with deleted scenes, a behind the scenes celebration of the 100th episode and an incredible vault of exclusive bonus features. The show that revolutionized primetime proves once again why it is television's most addictive and creative series.
Bonus Features Include: 7 Lost on location, A Day with Josh Holloway, Los Angeles crew tribute with Michael Emerson, the 100th episode, Time Frame and Continuity, Bloopers, Deleted Scenes』

『SinceLostmade its debut as a cult phenomenon in 2004, certain things seemed inconceivable. In its fourth year, some of those things, like a rescue, came to pass. The season ended with Locke (Terry O'Quinn) attempting to persuade the Oceanic Six to return, but he dies before that can happen--or so it appears--and where Jack (Matthew Fox) used to lead, Ben (Emmy nominee Michael Emerson) now takes the reins and convinces the survivors to fulfill Locke's wish.

As producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse state in their commentary on the fifth-season premiere, "We're doing time travel this year," and the pile-up of flashbacks and flash-forwards will make even the most dedicated fan dizzy. Ben, Jack, Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) arrive to find that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been part of the Dharma Initiative for three years. The writers also clarify the roles that Richard (Nestor Carbonell) and Daniel (Jeremy Davies) play in the island's master plan, setting the stage for the prophecies of Daniel's mother, Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), to play a bigger part in the sixth and final season.

Dozens of other players flit in and out, some never to return. A few, such as Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), live again in the past.Lostcould've wrapped things up in five years, asThe Wiredid, but the show continues to excite and surprise. As Lindelof and Cuse admit in the commentary, there's a "fine line between confusion and mystery," adding, "it makes more sense if you're drunk." Other extras include deleted scenes, featurettes, a "lost" episode ofMysteries of the Universe, and commentary from writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz on "He's Our You," a reference to Sayid, who tries to change the future by changing the past.--Kathleen C. Fennessy

(THE BEST HP YET BIG WOWOWOW DIEHARD FANS ONLY!!!)
『Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the Best Movie to date in the
HP Series !!! And we can only look forward in great anticipation
to the Deathly Hallows to Top even this...
The Characterizations are PRIMO as ever !!!
My only Regret is that the HP Movies aren't so very much longer !!!
What a Magical Creation as Ever from J.K. Rowling !!!


(Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
『I love the Harry Potter series and Half-Blood Prince is one of the best books in the series. To be honest i enjoyed the movie except for the beginning and the ending. I didn't care for the fact that Dumbledore had met Harry at the train station. I was really excited to read in the book that Dumbledore had gone to the Dursley's and took Harry out of there. I was also disappointed when they didn't have Dumbledore's funeral. They pretty much just let him lay dead on the pavement. I thought the cave was exciting and i was really happy that it turned out the way it did in my head when i read the book. I thought it was a bit dark and different for the Harry Potter series. I liked that the writters incorporated the fact that Tonks and Lupin were in a relationship. I thought that it could have had a better ending. All in all i like H-BP and anyone who is a big fan of the books would probably like me and be alittle dissapointed!』

(Favorite so far)
『I loved it. The acting has gotten a whole lot better and this was one of my favorite books as well.』

(I thought it was good)
『Wow, I laugh at the people who rate movies poorly based on what they read in a book. Books don't normally make for a very good film in the first place. The best thing I feel to do is to separate the two ideas of film vs. book. Two different thing and therefore must be viewed in two different ways. It's like comparing apples/oranges, Tupperware/tool boxes, Ford Temp/private jets etc.

I watched this one before I saw the others so I went back and watched 1 all the way up to this (I finally understand it). In comparison to the first 3 the films do get better as they progress; less character development and more of the good stuff. If you're wondering, I'm not much into reading fantasy books. I'd much rather read a physics text, engineering text, or even a dictionary (something educational). I get my fantasy time from watching movies.

Anyway, I thought the film was good and I'd buy the blu-ray for $17


(Remedial Movie Making Paid off!)
『I know what you're expecting me to say if you've read my other comments "this movie sucks I hate it!" well then I'm here to prove you wrong. I saw this movie in theaters and actually walked away pretty satisfied. The plot actually works. Some parts were a little quirky but some were necessary. Like having Dumbledore stare at a picture of a woman to skave off the rumors that he is gay. The makers obviosly wanted him to die with dignity so people wouldn't say: "Oh, well there goes the gay guy." while I liked this movie I do have some issues with it (ooo issues.) Harry's new love affair with Ginny was unexplained. It just seemed like one day he lookd at her and said oh wow she is good-looking. Using Dean Thomas as a ruse to make Harry jealous was slightly referenced but not convincing as she was perfectly prepared to snog Harry when he was at the Burrow, even though she didn't succeed. Ron's affair with Lavender was ended to abrubtly for my tastes but oh well. But as always the adaptations suck. One is where Harry, with no explanation as to why, is not at the Dursley's but at a cafe making dates with waitresses while the world is being destroyed!!! Also the destruction of the Burrow, not only was it unnecessary and cruel but immposible. In the book it explains that the Burrow has all the enchantments that Hogwarts has so the Death Eaters couln't destroy it, or even apparate to it. It seems like a pointless hit and run just to creat enmity between Harry and Bellatrix. then when harry almost kills Malfoy, a member of Snape's house, he gets caught by none other than Snape and just runs away and Snape lets him go without a word! Don't get me wrong the movie was good I give it an A for acceptable. Not bad but I expect better for the two part seventh one and hopefully either John Williams or Chris Columbas comes back, just a hope!』
『The sixth installment of theHarry Potterseries begins right whereThe Order of the Phoenixleft off. The wizarding world is rocked by the news that "He Who Must Not Be Named" has truly returned, and the audience finally knows that Harry is "the Chosen One"--the only wizard who can defeat Lord Voldemort in the end. Dark forces loom around every corner, and now regularly attempt to penetrate the protected walls of Hogwarts School. This is no longer the fun and fascinating world of magic from the first few books—it's dark, dangerous, and scary.

Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) suspects Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) to be a new Death Eater recruit on a special mission for the Dark Lord. In the meantime, Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) seems to have finally removed the shroud of secrecy from Harry about the dark path that lies ahead, and instead provides private lessons to get him prepared. It's in these intriguing scenes that the dark past of Tom Riddle (a.k.a. Voldemort) is finally revealed. The actors cast as the different young versions of Riddle (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin and Frank Dillane) do an eerily fantastic job of portraying the villain as a child. While the previous movies' many new characters could be slightly overwhelming, only one new key character is introduced this time: Professor Horace Slughorn (with a spot-on performance by Jim Broadbent). Within his mind he holds a key secret in the battle to defeat the Dark Lord, and Harry is tasked by Dumbledore to uncover a memory about Voldemort's darkest weapon--the Horcrux. Despite the long list of distractions, Harry, Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) still try to focus on being teenagers, and audiences will enjoy the budding awkward romances. All of the actors have developed nicely, giving their most convincing performances to date.

More dramatic and significant things go down in this movie than any of its predecessors, and the stakes are higher than ever. The creators have been tasked with a practically impossible challenge, as fans of the beloved J.K. Rowling book series desperately want the movies to capture the magic of the books as closely as possible. Alas, the point at which one accepts that these two mediums are very different is the point at which one can truly enjoy these brilliant adaptations.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princeis no exception: it may be the best film yet. For those who have not read the book, nail-biting entertainment is guaranteed. For those who have, the movie does it justice. The key dramatic scenes, including the cave and the shocking twist in the final chapter, are executed very well. It does a perfect job of setting up the two-part grand finale that is to follow.--Jordan Thompson

(There can be only one!)
『I didn't get around to watching this when it first came out in theatres, but was suprised at how good it was when I checked out the DVD. Dreamworks(creators of Shrek and Kung Fu Panda)did this as a comedic homage to the monster movies of the 50s.

Starting out, Susan was a blushing bride about to be married to her shallow weatherman boyfriend Derek, but a meteorite chrashes near her and dowses her with an outer space radiation called quantonium. She is then transformed into a white-haired giantess, and immeadiately accosted by the military, who apparently were expecting a giant to be there at the crashsite in the first place because they had large hypodermic needles to put her to sleep with. Susan wakes up in the secret government facility of Area 52 which houses other kinds of "monsters". The team consists of Bob the blob, the amphibious Missing Link, the insectoid mad scientist Dr. Cockroach, and the tremendous kaiju Insectosaurus. Things seem miserable for Susan(now called Ginormica), but the evil alien overlord Gallaxhar shows up in his starship and launches a giant robot loose on San Francisco. So the monsters are sent to stop the robot in exchange for their freedom. After an epic battle that wrecks the Golden Gate Bridge, they destroy the mecha, and Susan heads to her hometown along with her new monster buds to see her fiance. However, Derek breaks up with her, which makes Susan embrace her monsterhood. This would be nice, except that Gallaxhar kidnaps her to extract the quantonium from her to power his clone-making machine and invade Earth. Bob, Link, and Cockroach board the ship and find Susan who is now normal size after having the radiation sucked out of her. They manages to destroy the ship's computer, and Susan confronts Gallaxhar, which gets her cosmic mojo again, turning her back into a giant. They escape on Insectosaurus who is now a gargantuan butterfly. The monsters then agree to continue working with the military to defend Earth against other threats.

M.V.A. was a very enjoyable movie. The 3-D is applied wonderfully, unlike some other animated films. The story pays great attention to the Silver Age schlock creature features, both the stereotypical monster ones and flying saucer flicks. The casting was fine, although it was a little overboard with Stephen Colbert at the President, and they could've just had John DiMaggio doing the voice of Keifer Sutherland's character, General Monger. Like in most Dreamworks cartoons, there is alot of pop culture subreferences, although one of the genuinely good ones is the DDR session. There's already been an OVA prequal called BOB's Big Break, and a Halloween TV special, but knowing Dreamworks there's probably gonna be an actual movie sequal too. Definately seek out this monster mash!』


(Great movie for all ages)
『This is a great movie - my kids (3, 6, 9) all enjoy watching it and my husband and I find it entertaining as well.』

(Monsters vs. Aliens)
『What's not to love...total B Movie nostalgia brought to the 21st century. The kids love it, especially the "Suuuuussssan..." part.』

(Monsters vs. Movies)
『When the government hides monsters in a bunker and the planet is suddenly under alien attack what should be done? Why, have the monsters fight the aliens of course! Such is the premise of this little movie.

Meet Susan who undergoes a drastic and alarming change on her wedding day - growing quite gigantic. Suddenly (very suddenly) she's captured by the military and wakes up in a strange place. It's the huge government bunker where all the monsters are kept. This was a problem I had with the movie - this bunker is HUGE and filled with technological marvels but through the movie we only see 5 monsters - where are all the other monsters to justify such space and expense? Granted they did have an invisible man at one point too and Insectosaurus is huge but still...

Some others are Dr. Cockroach (no further description needed), Link, or more formally Missing Link and Bob, a living food additive with no brain. They are a pretty charming and funny bunch and the movie is full of funny little snips of dialog and scenes. The President's attempts at communication with an alien probe alone had me cracking a big grin. And when the alien(s) arrive we're also treated to lots of smooth action and cool looking technology as well.

The main narrative follows Susan (or Ginormica) and there are the expected lessons of accepting people for who they are not what they look like but also a lesson about standing on your own and up for yourself and your friends - all good heart warm-y stuff. What the movie lacks though is any real plot.

You see, the alien(s) just show up looking for quantonium a super powerful element. A giant probe robot is dropped down and starts smashing stuff and the General just up and says the monsters should handle it. They've been in captivity for years except Ginormica, who's new, so I'm not sure what made him think the monsters were the best candidates and I'm not sure why the monsters should help (other than the carrot of freedom) and why they aren't just a bit more miffed at being held prisoner for just being who and what they are.

As to the alien's motivations for wanting to take over the Earth and kill everyone - forget about it. He just shows up. The movie even makes fun of this by having the alien attempt to explain but us missing half the conversation. I wasn't laughing. He was a threat, even for Ginormica and her giant strength but this lack of understanding his motives was annoying.

The voice work was uniformly good from Reese Witherspoon to Seth Rogan and the action was action packed and the laughs were plentiful but if you're looking for a lot of substance then you may need to look elsewhere. I feel 3 1/2 but there's enough good here that I'd feel bad rounding down so 4 it is.


(Ginormica's Excellent Adventure)
『Dreamworks really outdid themselves as an animator company with Monsters vs. Aliens, even (dare I say) on par with Pixar films!

I love it when the writers who do science fiction play homage to old monster films of the Fifties (The Blob, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Mothra) and write a funny plot, a few insider jokes, and no sex or potty humor. Can it be done?

Yes, successfully. Susan is about to get married but somehow gets hit on the head with a meteor. A meteor that holds powerful energy that an alien wants for himself. She becomes 50 feet tall to learn what a jerk her groom is (a newscaster from Modesto, who is moving on to the big Fresno market).

Love the San Francisco-esque scenes, so realistic. Our cockroach mad scientist (al'a The Fly) hooks up a streetcar (to the Castro) with four rockets -- Man, I've never seen MUNI move so fast! (Local humor, sorry).

Susan's fighting the aliens, the giant robot crushing the Golden Gate Bridge, her returning of self confidence and wanting to help her friends communicates so many positive messages to kids who watch this.

Bob is the best. He is patterned after The Blob, can pop his eye in and out, absorbs food and falls in love with a dish of jello.

The DVD specials are interesting: Two "make-of" regarding 3D filming technology (wish I saw this in a 3D theater now) and some "deleted scenes" most of which are storyboarded with voiceovers. Dreamworks added the same thing to their other DVD on Madagascar, showing short songs of their earlier films. I skipped this, as I can only "move-it move-it" so much.

Nicely done package and a fun homage to old-time Sci-Fi. And don't miss the B52s and the Flying Purple People Eater music!


『When Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a“Monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound filled with other “monsters” like herself. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, P.H.D.; the macho half-Ape-half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to save the world from imminent destruction.



『Monsters don't exist, right? If they did, they'd be locked up in some secret government location so the general population wouldn't know of their existence. But what if monsters do exist... and they aren't evil, or even particularly scary? What if they're funny... and smart... and what if they might just be the key to man's survival? When a meteorite crashes in California on Susan Murphy's (Reese Witherspoon) wedding day, Susan is struck by a dose of otherworldly quantonium, her bridal glow becomes decidedly green, and she suddenly swells to a gargantuan 49 feet-11 inches tall. The Feds swoop in and whisk her away from husband-to-be Derek (Paul Rudd) to a government concealment agency where they dub her Ginormica and leave her to bemoan her losses and spend the rest of her days with strange creatures like B.O.B., the brainless blob (Seth Rogen), mad professor Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), the half-fish and half-ape Missing Link (Will Arnett), and the overly huge and strangely silent grub Insectosaurus. Next, Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson), ruler of an alien civilization, sends a huge robot to attack Modesto, Calif., to recover the quantonium released by the fallen meteorite. Under the ineffective leadership of President Hathaway (Stephen Colbert), the government embraces General W. R. Monger's (Kiefer Sutherland) suggestion to pit the imprisoned monsters against the robot in exchange for their freedom. The monsters are no match for the robot until Susan begins to really believe in her own abilities and embrace the power of her friendship with the other monsters. B.O.B is absolutely hilarious with his consistent propensity for misunderstanding, indiscriminate digestion of anything and everything in his path, and witless adoration of his fellow monsters. The crazy exploits of Dr. Cockroach inspire lots of laughter, Insectosaurus proves his worth in the end, and Ginormica serves as the glue that holds the whole film together. The InTru 3-D format is highly effective and if you like animation; visual, verbal, and action comedy; references to past science-fiction films; and lovable monsters; you'll enjoyMonsters vs. Aliens. (Ages 7 and older)--Tami Horiuchi

(Perhaps I am too old for these type of movies...)
『I don't mean to be negative about it, but this movie is just another one of those "let's put animals in the movie so that we can impress the kids" but my son and his friends would not sit in the theater to watch the movie because it did not catch their attention very well. At first, they thought it was cool because the hamsters were talking, but then they just got bored. It is pretty sad when talking gerbils do not even thrill 6-year-olds... maybe animal lovers liked it?』

(Harmless and fun entertainment for kids and the adults that accompany them)
『We were trying to figure out which family-friendly movie to take our almost 5 year-old this weekend, and though I was rooting for "Ponyo", hubby favored "G-Force", so that's what we watched. It was fun, but this is definitely one of those movies that require you to check your brains at the door. The plot is rather silly, about an entrepreneur [played by Bill Nighy of all people] who plans on taking over the world via his home appliances. The only ones who seem able to stop him are a bunch of guinea pigs, and yes, a mole of superior intellect who have been trained to carry out espionage activities. The guinea pigs comprise Darwin, Juarez, Blaster, and the mole is called Speckles. Well, the Feds get wind of the operation and shut it down, and the animals find themselves in a pet store. To cut a long story short - the rest of the movie deals with Darwin and company trying to free themselves and help bring the bad guy down.

My almost 5-year-old was riveted to the screen though a lot of the humor seemed lost on her. The humor was ok, though it did seem pitched more to older kids than the younger ones. There are lots of cute moments as is typical for movies like this, and the CGI effects are pretty decent though not spectacular. My main complaint is the use of tech-speak which came across as overly heavy for a movie geared towards kids...I understand why it was used, but it seemed rather unnecessary. Final verdict - family-friendly, mindless kids' entertainment with the requisite positive messages embedded within, i.e. teamwork, friendship, believing in one's self etc.』


(Artificially neat. Austerely narrated.)
『Guinea pigs might be offended with such sanitized furs dressing that never pick straws of dust. Except of few wet furs, the extra clean and dry coats of the actors hindered the indulgence in the scenario.

Relying on a governmental recruitment scenario to bridge the world of animals was not a perfect choice, taking into account that those guinea pigs possess greater skills different from artificial intelligence.

The excessive rationalization of lingual communication with headsets was another unnecessary gadget in a fictional tale.

In addition, on the down side, the talking voices were not the best or the most provocative. Let alone the austere pursuit of the super semiconductor chip that falls beyond the realm of young viewers.


("Poop in his hand. Poop in his hand.")
『A line from the movie. I loved it. I mean, what else can a guinea pig do to defend itself?

There is a team of combat-trained, commando guinea pigs. They call themselves the G-Force and go on special missions, like Special Agents. I saw this 3-D Disney flick in the movies and found it very cute and entertaining. Their mission is to break into the estate of a former arms dealer, hack into his computer, and find out what he developed this special microchip for. This one FBI Special Agent (Sector Head, I guess) doesn't see any use for the G-Force, so when they APPEAR to have botched a mission, the FBI guy shuts down the operation and the commandos wind up for sale in a pet store. Of course, the story begins here with the team trying to get out and back together again, and continue on with their mission. One of the guinea pigs is Penelope Cruise and another is Nicholas Cage and there are others. It's cute and it has great computer graphic imaging. It seems to be fine for little children. The worst I remember hearing was "poop in his hand" and "get your face out of my butt." There were a bunch of little ones at the theater and they all seemed to enjoy the movie as much as I did. (Hey, my inner child insisted on being entertained.)』


(A cute one for the kids)
『Take the Mission Impossible franchise and replace the MI team with cute, fuzzy, and very small animals. Somehow, it works. The CGI critters blend seamlessly with the live actors and scenes, making it incredibly easy to suspend disbelief.

As with any good kids' movie, there's enough wit to keep the paying grown-up amused. The "you can if you try" message comes across as heavy handed at one point and a plot reversal seems abrupt, but those things seem minor. It's a cute popcorn movie for the kids.

-- wiredweird』

『Buckle up for thrilling edge-of-your-seat action and laugh-out-loud fun in Disney’s family comedy adventureG-Force. Just as the G-Force— an elite team of highly trained guinea pigs — is about to save the world, the F.B.I. shuts the secret unit down. But these next-generation action heroes — Darwin, loyal team leader; Blaster, weapons expert with attitude to spare; Juarez, drop-dead gorgeous martial arts diva; and tag-along Hurley — won’t be stopped. Armed with the latest in high-tech spy equipment, and with the F.B.I. on their tails, the fur flies as they race against the clock to save the world. From the producer of thePirates Of The Caribbeantrilogy andNational Treasure, and filled with high-octane action, daredevil stunts, cutting-edge special effects and outrageous comedy,G-Forceis fantastic fun for the whole family.』
G-Forcejust might be the best Jerry Bruckheimer action film in many a moon. The film is exuberant, and its premise--don't thinkbigfor an animated caper film, thinksmall--brilliantly upends the more-bigger-faster trope of American action films… with cute, little, furry guinea pigs.

Bruckheimer, the action genius behind the likes of thePirates of the Caribbean,Con Air,The Rock,Armageddon, and many more, here teams with visual effects maestro Hoyt Yeatman, who writes and directs. The combo is potent, and the fact that they streamed their blow-'em-up vision through a film about tiny rodents saving the world makes the whole confection a hilarious family-friendly experience as well as a satisfying action adventure. The premise isn't earth-shattering: oddball, unexpected heroes are called on to save the day (Men in Black,Underdog, etc.). But the lowly guinea pig has been long overdue to get its moment in the spotlight. And now the free world knows whom it can really trust. The film mixes the animated heroes with real-life actors, including the sardonic British character actor Bill Nighy, who plays an evil mogul out to take over and/or destroy the world. The U.S. government, it turns out, has been nurturing a special squad for occasions just such as this. It's just that it's been nurturing them in small pens with wood shavings on the floor and running wheels for exercise. Will Arnett, deadpan and spot-on, plays the human agent who has the unenviable task of wrangling the guinea pig G-Force, and is a deft foil for the bad guys as well as for the mini-heroes.

But the true powerhouse acting belongs to those giving voices to the guinea pig agents, including Sam Rockwell, Penélope Cruz, Steve Buscemi, and, as the voice of a domesticated layabout, Jon Favreau. The film's standout, though, is Tracy Morgan, whose Agent Blaster is bellicose, fearless, and as full of malapropisms as Morgan's character on30 Rock. (In fact, the viewer keeps half-expecting Blaster to turn to Cruz's female agent, Juarez, and yell "Liz Lemon!")G-Forceis full of belly laughs for kids, as well as their action-film-fan parents.--A.T. Hurley

(Witty&wry - just forget the tired cliches)
『My first impression about a quarter way into this movie, was "Oh, NO! Another aliens-as-racial-minority metaphor!" Yes, yes, I know all that, I just wanna be entertained- that theme's been done, then done again, then again ..ad nauseum. I was thinking the only way to save the plot line was to have the aliens relocated to Chicago as new Obama voters. Then I was pleasantly surprised.

So what does save this movie and transcends it beyond the predictable racism-is-bad, apartheid-is-bad "message", what saves it is that ultimately it doesn't take itself seriously, at which point the movie becomes immensely entertaining. The matter of fact story telling absorbs the viewer to accept the premise despite one's common sense. Looking like something I ate at last summer's clambake, the alien CGI is nearly flawless.

Best of all, the witty screenplay has such wry humor that it leaves nothing and no one unscathed. From the Afrikaner elites, to the S.A. Blacks ( who, themselves victims of cruel apartheid, display the same sentiments to these new arrivals), to the aliens themselves portrayed more like insects with a gusto for cat food and tires, advanced technology notwithstanding. Not to mention the proverbial military-industrial complex (always a good villain). Even political correctness is mocked as we follow that dolt of a protagonist's rise via nepotism to a position of authority. His adventures inspecting the District is a rich example of sarcasm as mockumentary.

Of course the tired apartheid-alien message continues throughout the movie: segregated slums, Nazi inspired experiments, sham laws, forced mass evacuations, one from the "majority" transforming into one of the "minority". But as the movie progresses this theme becomes so cliche that it barely rises to consciousness and renders it meaningless. And that is a good thing. There's a world of serious cinema dealing with that subject more worthy to explore than a movie such as this. At best, maybe use it as a teaching tool on your middle-schooler about the lessons of apartheid.

So to all initially put off about this film, I say give it a view. It won't disappoint.』


(Totally Unexpected)
『This was a totally unexpected movie... the greatest Sci Fi I've seen in a long time. It was so unexpected that I made the mistake of sitting very close to the screen. One advice, if you go see it, sit in the back row, or you will get dizzy... But nevertheless it was GREAT!!!』

(Great scifi)
『A really good science fiction movie. The beginning is a little rough, but you cannot stop watching and by the end you realize that you have just seen a damn good movie. The symbolism is so transparent, but watch the movie for entertainment purposes and you won't be disappointed.』

(Terrible)
『I saw this movie when it came out in theatres. I fought the urge to get up and leave thru the entire movie and when the end came I really wished that I had left. That is two hours of my life I will never get back. Don't waste your time on this movie the whole documentary style filming was just irritating and distracting. If you have two hours to waste I would use it doing something else.』

(district 9)
『a first time director with a 10,000 budget created this eye popping and jaw dropping movie. the movie is hitting the millions in profits. one of the best movies that i have ever seen as a critic and one of the most intense metaphors ever putted on motion. must see』
『From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original science fiction thriller that "soars on the imagination of its creators" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed... only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.』
『A provocative science fiction drama,District 9boasts an original story that gets a little lost in blow-'em-up mayhem. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa,District 9begins as a mock documentary about the imminent eviction of extraterrestrials from a pathetic shantytown (called District 9). The creatures, it turns out, have been on Earth for years, having arrived sickly and starving. Initially received by humans with compassion and care, the aliens are now mired in blighted conditions typical of long-term refugee camps unwanted by a hostile, host society. With the creatures' care contracted out to a for-profit corporation, the shantytown has become a violent slum. The aliens sift through massive piles of junk while their minders secretly research weapons technology that arrived on the visitors' spacecraft.

Against this backdrop is a more personal story about a bureaucrat named Wikus (Sharlto Copley) who is accidentally exposed to a DNA-altering substance. As he begins metamorphosing into one of the creatures, Wikus goes on the run from scientists who want to harvest his evolving, new parts and aliens who see him as a threat. When he pairs up with an extraterrestrial secretly planning an escape from Earth, however, what should be a fascinating relationship story becomes a series of firefights and explosions. Nuance is lost to numbing violence, and the more interesting potential of the film is obscured. Yet, for a whileDistrict 9is a powerful movie with a unique tale to tell. Seamless special effects alone are worth seeing: the (often brutal) exchanges between alien and human are breathtaking.--Tom Keogh

(Great Remastering of a Disney Classic)
『The Snow White on Blu-Ray looks fantastic. A remastering of a classic... not much to say if you've seen Snow White. I love that it comes with a DVD copy as well. This is great so that you can play on the DVD player in the car for the kids, while still having blu-ray quality at home. Definitely worth adding to your movie collection.』

(Snow White Blu-Ray)
『Haven't seen this since childhood, many decades ago. Forgot how delightful this film really is. Recommend it to everyone, whether you have children or not. It will bring out the child in you as you reflect.』

(A Classic Strikes Again)
『There is little I can really say about this movie besides the differences between it and the older classic we all know and love.

1. The movie has the option of showing paintings on the sides of the film to expand it to widescreen size. I used these and while they looked kind of cool didn't really feel like the biggest improvement to me.
2. The sound and picture quality is good but it's a really old film so you can't really push the level of detail up too much. It performs well given the medium, however.

In general, you likely can makedo with just the DVD. The fact this combo comes with both a DVD and a Bluray disk obviously is hinting that while bluray is likely the wave of the future not much has changed given it can't really.

I'd suggest buying this if you have a bluray player otherwise just considering buying the DVD alone if you can find it.』


(Good movie, bad shipment)
『I like this movie a lot, it is a great disney presentation, i would prefered in a blu ray boz size, but i feel very dissaponited with amazon.com shipment service, because my specia edition box came several damage, i am from Venezuela, it is very expensieve for to sent my damage item back, amazon.con should be more carefully with this stuff』

(Superb picture and sound quality)
『If you are a fan of the Disney Classics, you have to pick up Snow White on Blu-Ray/DVD Combo. They film has been remastered and has never looked or sounded better. We previously had Snow White on VHS and the difference between the two is astounding.

In case you haven't seen Snow White, I have to tell you to beware as it is quite violent. I watched it with my daughter and I was shocked at how much more violent it was than I remembered it. The Wicked Witch orders the hunter to kill Snow White and cut out her heart. There is also a seen in which the hunter is standing behind Snow White with a knife, in position to stab her. So, this may not be the best movie to watch with your little one. You might want to watch it first and fast forward through the scary parts when watching with a child.』

『No film in history has captured the worlds imagination like Walt Disneys first full-length animated masterpiece. Through astonishing Blu-ray high definition technology, experience this timeless classic in its most spectacular presentation ever! With an all-new, state-of-the-art digital restoration and Disney Enhanced High Definition sound, the breathtaking animation and unforgettable music of the most revered Disney film of all time will enthrall you like never before!

Join the beautiful princess Snow White as she escapes her jealous stepmother, the queen, and befriends a lovable group of dwarfs. But when she falls under the queens wicked spell, only true loves kiss can save her

Bonus Features Include: Snow White Returns Storyboard Featurette Was Walt planning a Snow White sequel? With newly discovered storyboards Disney animators show how this sequel would have played out, Princess and the Frog Sneak Peek Exclusive sneak peek at the 1st 5 minutes before it hits theaters, The One that Started it All Featurette This featurette within Hyperion Studios reveals how Snow White forever changed the world of movies and the world at large, All New Tiffany Thornton Music Video to Someday My Prince Will Come, Audio Commentary with Walt Disney』

『One of the brightest nuggets from Disney's golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity. When you watch Snow White's intricate, graceful movements of fingers, arms, and head all in one shot, it is not the technical brilliance of Disney's artists that leaps out at you, but the very spirit of her engaging, girl-woman character. When the wicked queen's poisoned apple turns from killer green to rose red, the effect of knowing something so beautiful can be so terrible is absolutely elemental, so pure it forces one to surrender to the horror of it. Based on the Grimm fairy tale, Snow White is probably the best family film ever to deal, in mythic terms, with the psychological foundation for growing up. It's a crowning achievement and should not be missed.--Tom Keogh

(Adventures of Dorothy)
『A spectacular boxed set of the Adventures of Dorothy and company in "The Wizard of Oz." Extras galore included. Highly recommended for children and adults of all ages!』

(A splendid updating on Blu-ray of one of the all-time classics)
『I give the new Blu-ray five stars despite being a little irritated with the lack of an option to buy a nice, single disc version of hte Blu-ray. I got all of the set through Netflix and saw it that way. I would very much like to won THE WIZARD OF OZ on Blu-ray, but I'm going to hold out for a less expensive single or two-disc edition. Mind you, I like the film; but that is what I like, the film not disc after disc of extras that for the most part are repackagings of earlier editions.OK, that is my beef, and having made it, let me move on.

The Blu-ray is a definite improvement in the overall quality of the film, though not as much as one might have hoped for if you have watched the DVD on a up-conversion DVD player. This is not a problem restricted merely to this. Most of the older classics seem to have reached the point of diminishing returns on DVD. Even epic films like John Ford's THE SEARCHERS shows minimal improvement on Blu-ray. Still, even if the improvement isn't as marked as on more recent films, it is still definite.

But frankly, I think I loved the movie just as much when I was a kid watching it on my parents' old black and white tube TV. We all know the story about the film these days, that it was a critical and box office failure when it first was released. And we know all the stories about it. Buddy Ebsen being forced to drop out of the project when the make up that was sprayed on him caused a serious lung reaction. How Judy Garland took over the role when a deal to trade Jean Harlow and Clark Gable to Warner Brothers for a film so that MGM could get Shirley Temple, a deal that fell through when Shirley Temple died. We know all the songs, all the skits, and a host of the lines. And most importantly we have experienced firsthand how the film became a hit years after its first release because of its annual showings on television, hosted by Olivia DeHavilland (which never made a great deal of sense to me, since he had no connection to the film and had spend her studio career with Warner Brothers rather than MGM). Television was responsible for THE WIZARD OF OZ being the hit it became. But despite its success in the television era, it is almost impossible to understand how it failed to become an instant classic. The songs are irresistible, the performances classic, and the art design unmatched at the time. Scene after scene is filled with one perfect touch after another, like a peacock that strolls around in the background when Dorthy and the Scarecrow meet the Tin Man for the first time. Or the way the Cowardly Lion's tail twitches all the time (it is a subtle effect, but imagine how static he would be if he tail always drooped). It is a beautifully structured film, marvelously photographed, and beautifully scripted. The entire production is magical.

And this is a film that generations share. I remember vividly the terror I felt as a child watching Dorothy's friends come after her in the witch's fortress. Nothing in my childhood scared me more than Later it was the first movie that I watched with my daughter on TV (barely verbal at the time, she for several weeks referred to the film as "Scary Apples," for obvious reasons). My daughter probably watched the movie on VHS a hundred times minimum, largely because Dorothy was at the time one of the few female heroes around (this was before the Era of Buffy), and when she and I were stranded on a ski lift that was stopped during a sudden lightening storm immediately outside Flagstaff, Arizona, I kept her calm by retelling the entire movie, no mean feat given the lightening flashing all around us (though thankfully there was little rain).

This truly is one of those classics that it is impossible to imagine going away. The film is, if anything, as popular today as it has ever been. And conversions of it into new media like this new Blu-ray will guarantee that each generation will continue to rediscover it.』


(A favorite)
『The Wizard of Oz, being the classic film that it is, deserves to be well done. I'd gotten used to seeing the substandard version and just assumed that "fuzz" was normal. I had a few film buffs with me when we first viewed the Anniversary Digital Copy [Blue-ray] and what a difference it made. We all saw things for the first time that couldn't be seen in previous video viewings. Great!!!』

(THE WIZARD OF OZ)
『LOVE THE BLU-RAY VERSION. THE DIFFERENCE IS INCREDIBLEThe Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]』

(Nice extras but DRM prevents it from playing on my PC)
『I'd like to say the video quality was spectacular but unfortunately this Blu-ray movie won't play on my PC using ArcSoft Total Media Theater 3 Platinum. (I'm feeding it into a HDCP projector) I am just about ready to throw in the towel and buy a regular player. This may be the last Blu-Ray movie I buy. It's no wonder people are pirating movies, they play on everything!』
『Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/29/2009 Run time: 101 minutes Rating: G』
『When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939,The Wizard of Ozdidn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And whileOz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the yellow brick road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who covets Dorothy's enchanted ruby slippers, Margaret Hamilton has had the singular honor of scaring the wits out of children for more than six decades. The film's still as fresh, frightening, and funny as it was when first released. It may take some liberal detours from the original story by L. Frank Baum, but it's loyal to the Baum legacy while charting its own course as a spectacular film. Shot in glorious Technicolor, befitting its dynamic production design (Munchkinland alone is a psychedelic explosion of color and decor),The Wizard of Ozmay not appeal to every taste as the years go by, but it's required viewing for kids of all ages.--Jeff Shannon

On the discs
The 2009Wizard of OzTwo-Disc Special Edition DVD has the sharp 2005 restoration using Warner's Ultra Resolution process and an accompanying featurette on how it's done. The technicians also discuss how the sound was remixed, though that would have been more effective had it included surround-sound demonstrations (the featurette is in 2.0). Other features include a commentary track by critic John Fricke supplemented by vintage cast interviews (he offers a lot of trivia, and debunks the myth that Shirley Temple was ever close to getting the Dorothy role); profiles of nine cast members and clips of other movies they appeared in (including Toto); a lightly animated 10-minute storybook narrated by Angela Lansbury; and the original mono track and a music-and-effects track. New for 2009 is a sing-along track that you can turn on as you watch the movie or you can select from 10 numbers to sing along with karaoke-style subtitles. The second disc has the Lansbury-hosted documentaryThe Making of a Movie Classic; outtakes and deleted scenes, including Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" reprise and the home-movie recording of "The Jitterbug"; sketches and stills and composer Harold Arlen's home movies; audio underscores and radio programs; 1979 interviews with Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, and Jack Haley; 2001 and 2005 behind-the-scenes featurettes; a 1950 Lux Radio Theater broadcast; and other items too numerous to mention.--David Horiuchi

(love it or eat liver and asparagus)
『look,
the fact is, I love it too much to write any kind of objective review. I've been blown away by some of the concepts and story lines this season. but they have all been great. I'm utterly in love with Lana. this show must never end, but of course it will, so enjoy it while you can!!!』

『delivered in very condition, which I appreciate a lot... Nobody knows why I watch this tv series, but the secret of my life is hidden behind the reason I am a fan of this story and its greatest hero :P』

(Excellent service)
『Smallville was in excellent conditon and the selller did a fine job in sending it to me quickly.』

(We love this series)
『My kids and I have watched this series together since Episode 1. It was very entertaining. We found the best price on Amazon (better than Best Buy, Walmart, etc....). Would recommend to anyone for family entertainment.』

(love it)
『my son asked me to watch it with him,Didn't want to but I did. Wow I am glad I did. This is very cool. Love not only superman, but the Green Arrow is hilarious.Lots of action,romance,and comedy. Worth taking a look at.』
『There's a new reporter at the Daily Planet: Clark Kent, who shares a workspace with Lois Lane. There's a new hero in Metropolis, too. No one knows who he is. But Jimmy Olsen was on the scene of one of the do-gooder's exploits, and he snapped a blurred photo of the hero in superspeed action– a hero everyone now calls the Red-Blue Blur. Red-jacketed, blue-shirted Clark Kent draws closer to his Superman destiny in the exciting 22-episode, 6-disc Season 8 of Smallville. Another Kryptonian destiny also takes shape. Davis Bloome begins to realize he is Doomsday. His mission on Earth: kill Clark Kent. So many new events (will Jimmy and Chloe's marriage last?), so many new faces (Tess Mercer, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy among them!), so many state-of-the-art effects – so don’t miss a single thrill-packed moment!』

(So satisfied, I feel like asking for more!)
『This is a great product! Watching the individual episodes without the commercial break fade-outs and no Cartoon Network logo printed onscreen is the BEST way to see these wonderful shows! Each episode has a corresponding featurette that outlines the production of that episode. There is a booklet of arwork affixed to the center of the DVD case that affords a cool look into the storyteller's minds.

My only complaint is: I LOVE behind the scenes materials! I would've really enjoyed something that showed even MORE aspects of their production... sculpting maquettes, scanning them, animation nodes, storyboard to digital comparisome... I can think of so much more I'd have loved to have seen... sniff... sob... I guess I can't have it all.

It's a great pleasure to have the entire season at fingertip's grasp. I was disappointed at the decision to release the episodes in individual DVD's containing a few episodes each. I don't know how Lucasfilm made out on that decision, but I refused to buy them in that format and waited, hoping the entire season would be released as a whole. Well, folks, here it is... and it's great!』


(More info from the Clone Wars)
『I watched this DVD pack, the DVD animated movie, the original 2001 Episode 2 movie and anything in between to get all I could about the Clone Wars! To think all this started when Sir Alec Guinness

(An Epic Dose of Star Wars for the Small Screen)
『This set collects the 22 episodes that comprise the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It follows the theatrical pilot, available separately as Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Widescreen Edition). Each adventure recounts the dramatic battles of the Clone Wars that take place between Episodes II and III of the movie saga.

I had skipped season one during its initial broadcast - having caught the theatrical movie and not being impressed - but after watching through this set, I'm quite pleased with the results. What wasn't quite theatrical quality animation is in contrast leaps and bounds above conventional TV animation. This is some eye-popping stuff here - even accounting that Lucasfilm probably shelled out a bit more than your average TV budget, there are epic space battles, intricate Lightsaber duels, new planets and characters, and more. It's Star Wars, and it feels right. The stories are a mix of singular installments and two or three-part sagas. In a fun convention, each episode begins with a serial-style recap, regardless of whether or not there actually was a direct preceding installment. You can pretty much jump in at any point in the season and be up to speed.

What doesn't work? The Battle Droids remain chatty and Jar Jar still makes you want to turn your TV off. Ahsoka Tano ends up faring much better than she did in the theatrical pilot - more eager apprentice and less "Sky Guy" arrogance. Really, the series' biggest fault is that ultimately, little of consequence can actually happen - the majority of characters meet their fate in Episode III, and as pointed out in the bonus features, Anakin and General Grevious can't actually meet face-to-face. The best stories revolve around the Clone Troopers or aspects of the war that don't directly involve trying to end it.

This is a nicely produced DVD set - there is an attached booklet of concept art from the show, and each episode comes with a mini featurette that has cool production tidbits. I did find the set somewhat expensive - the Canadian sale price is higher than the American MSRP, so Americans are really getting a deal with this one.

If you like Star Wars, this is worth picking up.』


(Pretty awesome)
『For the Science Fiction Star Wars geek, what's not to love? So what, it's done in almost video game animation style. I'm all right with that. The series absolutley SCREAMS Star Wars. It has all the things we all thought were cool about the movies. And it is made by fans of Star Wars, which is a plus. They stay true to the universe. The bonus features are awesome as well. I was, like I am sure a lot of fans, a little hesitant that animated SW could be good, but this is good. Granted the droids are a little too dumb, but I can get over that. This is good entertainment.』

(An Excellent DVD Set for a Decent First Season)
『This set is really well-designed. Better even than the SW film sets. The case itself is more like a book with the DVDs attached to the inside front and back of the cover. In the middle are pages of production illustrations from the show including a few spoiler illustrations from Season 2. The set feels like a nice hardcover book, not a cheap DVD keepcase.

The extras are plentiful. So far I've only had time to watch the first disc but every episode has a six-to-ten minute featurette specifically geared to that episode. I prefer that to the generic featurettes and EPK materials usually included with TV series discs. In addition, many of the episodes include additional materials. But best of all, all of these episodes are in widescreen format, 2.35:1! Even wider than the original Cartoon Network HD showings in 1.78:1. This really helps the cinematic qualities of the show shine through.

As to the show itself, it's never looked better. LFL has created some of the best transfers ever for this set. The episodes themselves are mostly entertaining and get better as the season progresses. Early on I found myself a bit annoyed with the Ahsoka character but I could imagine that children would find her interesting. The production staff seems to have been trying to walk a very thin line between the tone of the SW films and the new "kiddie" audience this show was bound to attract. They went down a few dead ends but by the end of the season it felt like they had found their way. I look forward to all that season two promises.』

『The "Clone Wars" goes back to the original Star Wars film when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he was once a Jedi knight the same as your father and that they fought together in the Clone Wars. Since that moment fans have been obsessed with what the clone wars were. This new TV series takes place immediately after the events of Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker and introduces us to some new characters such as Ahsoka Tano a girl Jedi knight as well as characters we already know. Features:
  • 22 episodes, including seven director's cut episodes
  • 22 behind-the-scenes featurettes including director and crew interviews
  • Exclusive 64-page production journal with original sketches and artist notes
