>,James Stewart,Josephine Hull,Peggy Dow,Charles Drake,Cecil Kellawayprice: Universal Studios Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (An Oddity from the Classic Movie Vault) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『"Mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood... you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant." Those are the words of Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart), a delusional but happy man whose wealth allows him to carouse the town's bars with his friend Harvey. Harvey is a six foot white rabbit who astounds everyone he is introduced to, and he is introduced to anyone who crosses Dowd's path. Dowd is a friendly man who attempts to soothe the sorrows of everyone he meets with his polite friend Harvey, but not everyone is receptive. Elwood's sister Miss Simmons (Josephine Hull) loves her brother, but she cannot continue to accept his strange behavior. It is affecting her social life. She decides to enter him into a sanitarium, but her excitable personality contrasts with Elwood's easygoing behavior, and the doctors there mistake Miss Simmons for the crazy one. The movie progresses in the style of the play it was modeled after, so the dialogue is important and holds a lot of the humor, and the messages about people and society. However, the performances are important too, and Stewart carries the action nicely. He is a pleasant man, but we never get close enough to him to determine if he really is crazy or just making a point. This is the beauty of the film; it is open ended enough to let the audience make up his or her mind.』 (Flimsy Packaging) ![]() 『I have already dealt with this problem, but I'll post this because I feel so strongly about it. Amazon used to take better care of it's customers and it's products. Lately, apparently, they use 3rd party companies to do their shipping and what results is flimsy packaging and broken products. I ordered a DVD and, whereas even a year ago, this item would have come in a small cardboard box, insulating my DVD from damage, a few weeks ago I received it in a thin, plastic covering (which is bad for the environment, as well, but it - supposedly - cuts costs for the company). Well, I argue the "cutting costs". I ended up returning the DVD because the box had gotten broken in the shipping process. So, where's the savings for them? They lost a sale. It was a hassle for them, and I KNOW it was a hassle for me. So, I will no longer be buying DVDs or CDs from Amazon until this problem gets remedied. By the way, the actual movie is excellent. You should buy it, just not from Amazon Caroline』 (Divine madness!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『"Harvey" is an urban fable; a sharp and mordacious joke about the inseparable Harvey, an imaginary six feet tall rabbit that accompanies to our distorted mind protagonist. This light comedy plays hard with certain social formalities. The acquired madness of his psychiatrist, the derived entanglements his weird behavior will bring us to a surrealistic set of fine vignettes. A caustic tale visibly permeated of theatrical feature. A real tour de force for Josephine Hull, the straight lace sister who won a very deserved Academy award for this role and of course Mr. James Stewart as Elwood. "The real disgrace of Don Quixote is not his fantasy; it's Sancho Panza" (Franz Kafka)』 (A great movie!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I had only watched this movie once prior to purchasing it. What a cute show! I absolutely adore the character played by James Stewart.』 (One of his best) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Like Bob Hope, what can I say about Jimmy. even he himself said he loved making this movie more than any of his others. Yes I am sure almost everyone has seen it. But its a DVD you just have to have to watch it when ever you feel down and out as it will pick you up. They just dont make great movies like Jimmy's or Bob's. Dont loss the great movies of the pass. Know and show your kids and grandkids what clean fun is. Buy them as there will never be any of the great ever again.』 『James Stewart stars as Elwood P. Dowd, a wealthy alcoholic whose sunny disposition and drunken antics are tolerated by most of the citizens of his community. That is, until Elwood begins to claim that he has a friend named Harvey who is an invisisble six foot rabbit. Elwood's snooty socialite sister, Veta, determined to marry off her daughter Myrtle to a respectable man, begins to plot to keep Elwood's lunacy from interfering.』 『It's always a small surprise to revisit this movie and realize what a subtly dark performance James Stewart gives as an alcoholic who claims he keeps company with a six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit. As Elwood P. Dowd, the actor emits a faint whiff of decay and spirits, yet Stewart also embraces Dowd's romanticism and grace with splendid ease. Based on a hit play and directed by Henry Koster, the film is terribly funny at times, especially whenever Elwood decides it's only polite to introduce Harvey to complete strangers. The supporting cast can't be beat.--Tom Keogh』 『 Harvey > 『 Harvey > 『 Arsenic and Old Lace > 『 Arsenic and Old Lace > 『 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington > 『 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington > 『 The Philadelphia Story > 『 The Philadelphia Story > 『 The Ghost and Mrs. Muir > 『 The Ghost and Mrs. Muir > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] > 『 Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] > 『 The Nightmare Before Christmas [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy > 『 The Nightmare Before Christmas [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy > 『 Coraline (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy w/ 3D) [Blu-ray] > 『 Coraline (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy w/ 3D) [Blu-ray] > 『 Edward Scissorhands [Blu-ray] > 『 Edward Scissorhands [Blu-ray] > 『 Beetlejuice [Blu-ray] > 『 Beetlejuice [Blu-ray] > 『 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [Blu-ray] >
>,Johnny Depp,Helena Bonham Carter,Emily Watson,Tracey Ullman,Paul Whitehouseprice: Warner Home Video Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bringing puppets to life, but a few spots of rot in the script) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『"Corpse Bride" is a gruesome addition to the macabre oeuvre of Tim Burton. It tells the story, in stop-motion animation, of Victor and Victoria, a lonely boy and girl who are being forced to wed by their money-grubbing parents. But a chance encounter in graveyard brings back from the dead Emily, the reanimated corpse of a spurned bride. When Victor accidentally slips a ring onto her bony finger, she resolves to wed Victor and bring him back with her to the world of the dead. The sets are terrific, Victorian ghoulishness at it creepy finest. The dead live underground, in a fast-paced society that mirrors the past, complete with bars and dancehalls. The dead themselves are partly and mostly-decayed skeletons that would probably scare the bejesus out of younger kids. Emily is a case in point. One leg and one arm are decayed to bone. Her ribs are visible on one side through her tattered wedding dress. Instead of rouge, one cheek is rotted to black and the other has lost enough flesh to reveal a toothy jaw line. That Burton's puppet master manage to make her look sexy shows their mastery of the genre. There is wonderful macabre humor is well. At French headwaiter is just that -- the waiter's guillotined head, made mobile by an skittering army of corpse-eating bugs. The film is wonderful in all respects but plotting. The puppets are masterfully rendered in shades of brown (for the loving) and blue (for the dead). The animation is silky and smooth. But a number of plot lines don't make sense -- do not read on if you wish to be surprised! In spite of Emily's forced marriage to another character, there's no real reason that Victor must marry Emily. And there is no reason that Emily should decide to forgo her marriage to Victor when she sees Victoria in the church. And why a certain evil character would choose to drink a death-dealing potion is a mystery. Except that he plot required that he do so. Still, there are many, many wonderful touches to The Corpse Bride. A scene of a character dissolving into butterflies was unexpected, touching and stylistically stunning. The stop motion technique did not prevent the artists from giving the characters expression and life. The story's unique touches (like a boy reunited with his long dead dog) were clever and original and fit the plot perfectly. Almost lifelike, The Corpse Bride's plot could have used just a touch of the mortician's brush to render it restful and at peace.』 (Corpse Bride) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This was purchased for a Christmas gift.

This was a smooth transaction. Item arrived in great condition.』 『Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by JOHNNY DEPP), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride, while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love.』 『Who else but Tim Burton could makeCorpse Bride, a necrophiliac's delight that's fun for the whole family? Returning to the richly imaginative realm of stop-motion animation (after previous successes withThe Nightmare Before ChristmasandJames and the Giant Peach), Burton, with codirector Mike Johnson, invites us to visit the dour, ashen, and drearily Victorian mansions of the living, where young Victor Van Dort (voiced by Johnny Depp) is bequeathed to wed the lovely Victoria (Emily Watson). But the wedding rehearsal goes sour and, in the kind of Goth-eerie forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a blue-tinted, half-skeletal beauty (how pleasantly full-bosomed she remains!) with a loquacious maggot installed behind one prone-to-popping eyeball. This being a Burton creation, the underworld of the dead is a lively and colorful place indeed, and Danny Elfman's songs and score make it even livelier, presenting Victor with quite a dilemma: Should he return above-ground to Victoria, or remain devoted to his corpse bride? At a brisk 76 minutes, Burton's graveyard whimsy (loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale) never wears out its welcome, and the voice casting (which includes Tracey Ullman and Albert Finney) is superbly matched the film's gloriously amusing character design, guaranteed to yield a wealth of gruesome toys and action figures for many Halloweens to come.--Jeff Shannon』 『 Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] > 『 Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] > 『 The Nightmare Before Christmas [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy > 『 The Nightmare Before Christmas [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy > 『 Coraline (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy w/ 3D) [Blu-ray] > 『 Coraline (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy w/ 3D) [Blu-ray] > 『 Edward Scissorhands [Blu-ray] > 『 Edward Scissorhands [Blu-ray] > 『 Beetlejuice [Blu-ray] > 『 Beetlejuice [Blu-ray] > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Battlestar Galactica - Season One > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season One > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.0 (Episodes 1-10) > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.0 (Episodes 1-10) > 『 Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20) > 『 Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20) > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season Three > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season Three > 『 Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.0 and 2.5 > 『 Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.0 and 2.5 > 『 Battlestar Galactica - Season 4.0 >
>,Edward James Olmos,Jamie Bamberprice: Sci-Fi Channel, The Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Excellent sci-fi drama) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『The miniseries on disc 1 of Battlestar Galactica Season 1 would, as a standalone movie, compete with some of my favorite films. Taken with the rest of Season 1, this is some of the most entertaining television I've ever watched and is a must-see for science fiction fans. Though it's not without the occasional silly trope or unbelievable twist, Season 1 of Galactica stands as evidence of exactly how far the show tumbled in its third and fourth seasons.』 (Battlestar Galactica-Season One) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I loved the picture and it looked clesrer than when I saw it on TV.』 (A good implementation of a Sci-Fi program) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Battlestar Galactica is a good show. It brings up really fascinating concepts, but doesn't always deliver in the end. It doesn't transcend to great, but it is very much worth watching. If you like science fiction, you should pick up season one to see if it vibrates on your frequency.』 (Provocative sci-fi series weaves its web) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『It all started with the Pilot episode. Right from the word "go" this show hit it's mark as the cylons appear and then begin to destroy the human civilization. From the opening scene the humans find themselves caught by surprise by the cylons, and then scrambling to survive. What struck me upon first viewing this series was the pacing, and mood of the show, and how the directors carefully orchestrated the drama from constantly surprising angles. Right from the very beginning we get the deliciously provocative entrance of Number 6 as she kisses the human intermediary before his space station is blown to bits. Season One has many of my favourite episodes, including "You Can't Go Home Again", in which Kara finds herself stranded on a barren, orange world with a fallen cylon fighter which she attempts to kick start in order get back to the Battlestar Galactica, and episode "33", where the Battlestar Galactica is having to jump every 33 minutes in order to evade the cylon ships. It is interesting to see the pilot episode again after watching the series to the end. One detail that stood out on second viewing was when Starbuck was fighting the cylons. There is a moment when one of the cylon fighters turns around and faces her, but doesn't shoot. This echoes the time when Sam faces a cylon fighter who scans his eyes and identifies him as a cylon. All in all this is an excellent start to an amazing series that over the course of four seasons has a myriad of mysteries to uncover as the plot grows ever thicker.』 (The Mini Series is the Key) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Okay, so I seriously tried to watch BSG while it was on SciFi, in the first season, but I could never get into it. I didn't understand it, everyone else that liked all the same shows I did loved it. I was completely lost. The black sheep of the group. So, I just put it off as that I didn't like the show. During my writer's workshop, my teacher suggested that I watch the show. I'm working on a young adult novel that takes place on a starship and he wasn't sure what feel it had. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure either. So, I was like 'what to heck, I'll just buy the first season on Amazon since it's so cheap.' Really, how many of us are able to watch a series from Blockbuster? I think it ends up costing the same anyways. The Mini Series was the KEY. I had started to watch AFTER the Mini Series, when I tried to watch it on TV. The Mini Series sets us up for the whole show. We are thrown into a not too distant future in which a ship, a Battlestar, is being decommissioned and turned into a musuem. The war with the Cylons (a race of machines that humans created) seems to be over since we humans haven't seen them for decades. All is at peace. The Battlestar in question is the Galactica. The Cylons had been busy creating humanoid creations of themselves. They look exactly like humans. They end up attacking all of the Twelve Colonies without warning. Civilization as the human race knows it is pretty much wiped out. The Galactica ends up putting together a fleet of ships that they link up with, among these ships is a ship carrying the surviving member of the presidential cabinet that now takes over as the new president of the twelve colonies, originally just the secretary of education. This fleet is commanded by Commander William Adama and seconded by Colonel Saul Tigh. These two commanders are old friends and have an interesting relationship. Adama knows how to keep the constantly drunk Tigh under control, he only had joined since it was going to be their last tour. This command team is in charge of a mix-matched group of people. They are not the only ones in command, though, there is also the new president of the Twelve Colonies, President Laura Roslin. Though there are many bumps between military and civilian authority, the fleet moves on no matter what defending by their Viper and Raptor pilots. We see a lot of these characters. Lee "Apollo" Adama being one of the most prominant and outrightly so in the first season as we see how his relationship with his father evolves along with his rocky relationship with "Starbuck." He sides with President Roslin and puts himself into a deeper hole with his father even though he does not see it as taking a side. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is a hotshot Viper pilot who drinks and smokes too much. She's seen as a daughter by Commander Adama. Other pilots we also see are: Sharon "Boomer" Valerii and Karl "Helo" Agathon. The first season takes us back to Caprica, one of the Twelve Colonies that was fired upon by the Cylons, as "Helo" chooses to stay there after his and "Boomer"'s Raptor has to land there for repairs. They take on refugees and he makes the choice to stay behind so that Doctor Gaius Baltar can go back to the Galatica. The future that BSG takes place in is not one that has been perfected at all. There is still cancer and there are still different ways to go about treating it. People still drink and smoke and do things they know are wrong. The characters are all flawed, though this is what makes them so realistic and human. They have to strive for the survival of the human race.』 『Largely wiped out by a hundred years of warfare with the Cylon Empire, the few surviving humans search for the mythical thirteenth colony, Earth. No Track Information Available Media Type:DVD Artist:BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 04 Title:SEASON 1 Street Release Date:09/20/2005 Genre:TELEVISION』 『Battlestar Galactica's Edward James Olmos wasn't kidding when he said "the series is even better than the miniseries." As developed by sci-fi TV veteran Ronald D. Moore, the "reimagined"BGis exactly what it claims to be: a drama for grown-ups in a science-fiction setting. The mature intelligence of the series is its greatest asset, from the tenuous respect between Galactica's militarily principled commander Adama (Olmos) and politically astute President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) to the barely suppressed passion between ace Viper pilot "Apollo" (a.k.a. Adama's son Lee, played by Jamie Bamber) and the brashly insubordinate Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff), whose multifaceted character is just one of many first-season highlights. Picking up where the miniseries ended (it's included here, sparing the need for separate purchase), season 1 opens with the riveting, Hugo Award-winning episode "33," in which Galactica and the "ragtag fleet" of colonial survivors begin their quest for the legendary 13th colony planet Earth, while being pursued with clockwork regularity by the Cylons, who've now occupied the colonial planet of Caprica. The fleet's hard-fought survival forms (1) the primary side of the series' three-part structure, shared with (2) the apparent psychosis of Dr. Gaius Baltar (James Callis) whose every thought and move are monitored by various incarnations of Number Six (Tricia Helfer), the seemingly omniscient Cylon ultravixen who follows a master plan somehow connected to (3) the Caprican survival ordeal of crash-landed pilots "Helo" (Tahmoh Penikett) and "Boomer" (Grace Park), whose simultaneous presence on Galactica is further evidence that 12 multicopied models of Cylons, in human form, are gathering their forces. With remarkably consistent quality, each of these 13 episodes deepens the dynamics of these fascinating characters and suspenseful situations. WhileBGrelies on finely nuanced performances, solid direction, and satisfying personal and political drama to build its strong emotional foundation, the action/adventure elements are equally impressive, especially in "The Hand of God," a pivotal episode in which the show's dazzling visual effects get a particularly impressive showcase. OriginalBGseries star Richard Hatch appears in two politically charged episodes (he's a better actor now, too), and with the threat of civil war among the fleet, season 1 ends with an exceptional cliffhanger that's totally unexpected while connecting the plot threads of all preceding episodes.

There are a lot of BluRays out there that don't look or sound that much better than their standard def counterparts. This isn't one of them. I've never seen such an incredible difference between a DVD and it's matching BluRay before, in either video or audio performance. This is going to end up on a lot of A/V specialists "reference quality" lists before it's all said and done. Obviously a terrific film, even if you're not a big fan of the TV series that spawned it. If you ARE a fan, get this BluRay...right now.』 (Burn the Land and Boil the Sea) ![]() ![]() 『This movie proves my claim that part of what makes Firefly a classic TV series is that it's incomplete. In an attempt to turn a brilliant-but-cancelled TV show into a film franchise, the creators try to tie up too many loose ends, lose track of the radiant energy that makes the show a DVD mainstay, and don't even shoot the finished product in a visually appealing manner. To start with, the movie gives us an opening sequence that flatly contradicts some of the facts revealed in the series pilot. To its credit, this sequence also gives us Chiwetel Ejiofor, an inspired young British actor who adds a strong note to this story. But the confusion brought about by this opening teaser presages the confusion committed fans will likely feel throughout the film. Then the main body of the story starts several months after the end of the series. Inarra and Book have left the crew of Serenity, and River has crossed a line, getting her and her brother evicted. If this feels like the kind of crew-splitting that caused the first Star Trek movie to have such a confoundingly long opening act, well, that's an apt analogy. The film then sets out to close down several of the series' unresolved storylines, not by actually closing them, but by creating new storylines that have nothing to do with the series. Couple that with River's newfound superhero powers, and a visual design so murky that the entire movie seems shot through Beijing smog, and you have a film that frustrates rather than satisfies fans. I really, really love Firefly. Though only fourteen episodes were shot, it's so full of promise and energy that fans of smart stories can't help but be drawn in. That very promise, unsullied by the need for pat answers, has made the unfinished series a classic. This effort at just those pat answers, well, sullies the series. Enjoy your Firefly DVDs, but give this film a miss.』 (East Meets Western Adventure) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『The movie Serenity is based on the series Firefly - a futuristic adventure which follows the exploits of a freighter owner and his experience of eeking out a living in a post war universe. With each job he is faced with the prospect of doing what he needs to do to survive - mostly "bad guy" stuff - and doing what he feels is the right thing to do despite himself. The supporting cast provides a wonderful set of personalities who are amazing together. The writing and actors are so well blended you can just sit back and believe they have been working together as a team on this freighter for a long time. There is also a really great balance between humor and reality wherby the advetures are something you don't ever mind being a part of as the observer! After watching this movie, I miss being a part of this group of friends so much that I want to start it all over again....and usually do! Enjoy. 』 (Firefly Movie) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I'm mad that the "powers -that- be" cancelled the show, but it's nice to have this DVD. It's in good shape and plays as was described. Thanks!』 (Old School Sci Fi Blended with Contemporary Characters) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『As other reviewers point out, you don't need to know anything about the TV series that came before this movie. In fact, this movie alerted us to the series and we watched all the reruns afterwards. This movie has superb effects, a great plot, plausible characters and excellent production values. They stay away from too much science, with the entertainment coming from the characters and plot, not a pseudo explanation of how they zip across space.』 『Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 12/30/2008 Run time: 119 minutes Rating: Pg13』 『Serenityoffers perfect proof thatFireflydeserved a better fate than premature TV cancellation. Joss Whedon's acclaimed sci-fi Western hybrid series was ideally suited (in Browncoats, of course) for a big-screen conversion, and this action-packed adventure allows Whedon to fill in theFireflybackstory, especially the history and mystery of the spaceship Serenity's volatile and traumatized stowaway, River Tam (Summer Glau). Her lethal skills as a programmed "weapon" makes her a coveted prize for the power-hungry planetary Alliance, represented here by an Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who'll stop at nothing to retrieve River from Serenity's protective crew. We still get all the quip-filled dialogue and ass-kicking action that we've come to expect from the creator ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer, but Whedon goes a talented step further here, blessing his established ensemble cast with a more fully-developed dynamic of endearing relationships.Serenity's cast is led with well-balanced depth and humor by Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal Reynolds, whose maverick spirit is matched by his devotion to crewmates Wash (Alan Tudyk), Zoe (Gina Torres), fun-loving fighter Jayne (Adam Baldwin), engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite), doctor Simon (Sean Maher), and Mal's former flame Inara (Morena Baccarin), who plays a pivotal role in Whedon's briskly-paced plot. As many critics agreed,Serenityoffered all the fun and breezy excitement that was missing from George Lucas's latter-dayStar Warsepics, and Whedon leaves an opening for a continuing franchise that never feels cheap or commercially opportunistic. With the mega-corporate mysteries of Blue Sun yet to be explored, it's a safe bet we haven't seen the last of the good ship Serenity.--Jeff Shannon』 『 Serenity [Blu-ray] > 『 Serenity [Blu-ray] > 『 Firefly - The Complete Series > 『 Firefly - The Complete Series > 『 Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] > 『 Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] > 『 Serenity, Vol. 1: Those Left Behind > 『 Serenity, Vol. 1: Those Left Behind > 『 Dune (Widescreen) > 『 Dune (Widescreen) > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Lost - The Complete First Season > 『 Lost - The Complete First Season > 『 Lost - The Complete Second Season > 『 Lost - The Complete Second Season > 『 Lost - The Complete Third Season > 『 Lost - The Complete Third Season > 『 Lost: The Complete Fourth Season > 『 Lost: The Complete Fourth Season > 『 Lost: The Complete Fifth Season > 『 Lost: The Complete Fifth Season > 『 Finding Lost: The Unofficial Guide >

Character development is the likes of which no television show has ever offered. The cliff hangers will have you begging for the answer and the show will never quite give you the full answer but instead let your mind wander through the many elaborate possibilities. Not only is the show itself great, but the DVDs have a lot of extra features. From cast and director commentaries to behind the scenes interviews and more.』 (Lost Season 1) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『There's not much I can add to the review, other than, this is a great series and worth the price and time spent watching.』 (Great Show!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I hate watching television due to commercials, so I actually watched this via Netflix. This is a terrific show. I love the flashbacks to the survivors' lives prior to the crash. One of my favorite characters is John Locke. He is so intriguing. I enjoy this show mainly because, regardless of the mysticism of the island, the characters actions and reactions are very realistic. At the time of writing this review, I am in the middle of watching Season Three. :-)』 (Excellent transaction of Lost--Complete First Season) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Not only did this product come in a timely manner, it was in excellent shape, just as described. I am very pleased with this transaction. Thank you!!』 (Entertaining!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I've gotten through the season and I'm impressed about this tale about 48 survivors (only about 10 are lead ones) who survive a plane crash and try to make it through a mysterious Island with what looks like a huge creature who is just waiting to gobble them up whole. Mix in some boars and polar bears, a mysterious french woman (I KNOW I SEEN HER BEFORE!!!--I JUST FORGET WHERE FROM!! I WAS REWINDING IT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND I STILL DON'T REMEMBER...GRRRR..), some weird black mist, a mysterious hatch, among others and then somehow managed to mash it into a hit. After the first couple of episodes, I was hooked. I would rather have them not that french woman in the series (even though she playes a part), it kinda ruined the mystery behind her. The only thing I can say that is a little bit off (not bad, mind you) is the music after the episode is over. Sometimes it dosn't mesh well (like with the episodes in which is a more "feel-good" type). I admit, the 2nd pilot ending (the transmission realization), and the "whispers" ending SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME!!! I loved those endings to the episodes. Those are the ones in which I HAD to watch the next one in place of something else such as sleeping, eating, etc. I need to see what happens to a "certain characters" and I got to see what's the mystery behind the hatch and the big beast that no one seems to see (or the producers keep teasing us by angling the camera a different way...grrrr) The noice made by the mysterious creature was interesting as well. Now, on to season number 2!!!』 『From J.J. Abrams, the creator ofAlias, comes the action-packed adventure that became a worldwide television event. Stranded on an island that holds many secrets, 48 people must band together if they hope to get home alive. Now you can experience the nonstop excitement and mystery of every episode, from the show's stunning first minute to its spectacular finale, on a seven-disc set. Presented in a widescreen theatrical format with 5.1 Surround Sound and bursting with more than eight hours of original bonus features -- including unairedLostflashbacks from the final episode --Lostis a real find.』 『Along withDesperate Housewives,Lostwas one of the two breakout shows in the fall of 2004. Mixing suspense and action with a sci-fi twist, it began with a thrilling pilot episode in which a jetliner traveling from Australia to Los Angeles crashes, leaving 48 survivors on an unidentified island with no sign of civilization or hope of imminent rescue. That may sound likeGilligan's IslandmeetsSurvivor, butLostkept viewers tuning in every Wednesday night--and spending the rest of the week speculating on Web sites--with some irresistible hooks (not to mention the beautiful women). First, there's a huge ensemble cast of no fewer than 14 regular characters, and each episode fills in some of the back story on one of them. There's a doctor; an Iraqi soldier; a has-been rock star; a fugitive from justice; a self-absorbed young woman and her brother; a lottery winner; a father and son; a Korean couple; a pregnant woman; and others. Second, there's a host of unanswered questions: What is the mysterious beast that lurks in the jungle? Why do polar bears and wild boars live there? Why has a woman been transmitting an SOS message in French from somewhere on the island for the last 16 years? Why do impossible wishes seem to come true? Are they really on a physical island, or somewhere else? What is the significance of the recurring set of numbers? And will Kate ever give up her bad-boy fixation and hook up with Jack? Lostdid have some hiccups during the first season. Some plot threads were left dangling for weeks, and the "oh, it didn't really happen" card was played too often. But the strong writing and topnotch cast kept the show a cut above most network TV. The best-known actor at the time of the show's debut was Dominic Monaghan, fresh off his stint as Merry the Hobbit in Peter Jackson'sLord of the Ringsfilms. The rest of the cast is either unknowns or "where I have I seen that face before" supporting players, including Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, who are the closest thing to leads. Other standouts include Naveen Andrews, Terry O'Quinn (who's made a nice career out of conspiracy-themed TV shows), Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Emilie de Ravin, but there's really not a weak link in the cast. Co-created by J.J. Abrams (Alias),Lostleft enough unanswered questions after its first season to keep viewers riveted for a second season.--David Horiuchi Where Have I Seen These Castaways?

The characters are extremely interesting and the plot always keeps me coming back for more. I love the cast and the acting, in my opinion, is top notch! For any Marvel or other comic book fans, this show will definately not disappoint!』 (Kill Me Now) ![]() 『Let me just state I currently hate this show, I have and I'm more then positive I always will. I refused to watch the show when it was on tv but I was sick and laid up and "friend" gave me this season and the rest. It was long, repeatative, and quite ridiculous. After the first 2 episodes I often wished that everyone but peter would just die. I only sat through the season because my friend said Zachary Quinto was in there, it took almost 10 episode before he even showed up. This was the first time I have ever watch a show and have not rooted for the good guys.』 (X-Men in the X-Files) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『As a long lover of sci-fi superheroes, it is very rare to find anything all that original anymore. After your first love, and for me it was the X-Men in this genre, most other things look formulaic. It took me two full episodes to warm to this series. At first, I thought it was entirely derivative, exactly the same plot as the X-Men: powerful mutants learn to use their powers, some are good and some bad, while a fearful public stands more or less in the dark as to the truth. The association of Stan Lee to the production didn't help. Then I noticed several things that made this better and better in terms of quality. The characters are quite interesting, from Hiro (the naive Manga enthusiast who relishes his status as superhero) to the complicated family, the Petrellis (one a politician who is vacillating between sleaze and conscience and his younger brother, variously seen as a softie loser and the most powerful of them all). The acting is quite believable, if at times middling. And they grow on you as you see alternative futures and the like for them. Then there is a tongue and cheek joking at the notion behind the entire genre of mutant superheroes, which fans take way way too seriously for their own mental balance. It is a delicate balance, because while avoiding comedy the viewer needs to suspend their disbelief and just enjoy it. This really worked for me because it was contained in the characters, not in stupid sit-com style situations. Finally, the peeling back of layers of conspiracy and intrigue are worthy of the X-Files. While it is not to everyone's taste, I enjoyed it, particularly in the father of the cheerleader, who rebels and comes out as a good guy if too machiavellian. Warmly recommended. It is very fun entertainment.』 『Discover the phenomenon that is sweeping audiences everywhere as Heroes: Season 1 comes to DVD! Experience the suspense, mystery, and electrifying twists as this astonishing series follows seemingly unconnected, ordinary people around the globe who discover they have extraordinary powers. As they come to terms with their unique abilities, their risky decisions will affect the futures of everyone around them…and the world. Join their epic journey in this seven-disc set packed with hours of fascinating and revealing bonus features, including the never-before-aired series premiere from show creator Tim Kring.』 『Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasyHeroesgives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple– ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has familyissues – serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain – Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes – and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revivedBattlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set ofHeroes: Season Oneoffers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here.-- Paul Gaita』 『 Heroes - Season One > 『 Heroes - Season One > 『 Heroes: Season 2 > 『 Heroes: Season 2 > 『 Heroes - Season Three > 『 Heroes - Season Three > 『 Lost - The Complete Third Season > 『 Lost - The Complete Third Season > 『 Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season > 『 Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season > I wanted to buy It↑ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 >> |
