(Great Memories)

『What a fantastic dvd combo, Who could forget Mr. Hooper's Store. This brings back great memories when i saw how young Bob and Louise were.And Kermits News Flash , forgetful Jones . Sesame Street 40 years of great television.』

(Before Elmo was king)

『This DVD set was nostalgic and at times almost brought tears to my eyes. For those parts (The ladybug picnic, The pinball counting to 12, the cartoon typewriter, the cast iron "I", etc) I would give it ten stars. Sesame Street literally shaped my life as a young child. I watched it religously until age seven (I'm thirty-five now). The reason for my three star rating is because of the lengthy songs and dull skits, which unfortunately took most of the time. Leena Horne singing didn't do it for me at five and she especially doesn't do it for me now at thrity-five. Sorry, but same to you Diana Ross. I wanted to see more of the aliens ("yep, yep, yep...nope, nope, nope"), Bert and Ernie, Super Grover, and the Tiddly-winks (who were suspiciously absent).

Watching this DVD made me realize how they should now call Sesame Street, just plain Elmo's World. That's who it's really all about now anyway. I loved the good old days when ALL the characters received equal billing. Now it seems like the first forty minutes of Sesame Street is just filler until Elmo, the big star, shows up. Don't get me wrong, I like Elmo, and so do my three little ones, but all the other characters have their own personalities and ability to teach as well. This DVD is a reminder of that.

So CTW if you're reading this, I would buy every single episode of Sesame Street from 1974-79 if you put it out on DVD. Stop teasing us with these short DVD releases showing only clips. To those of you who are thinking of purchasing this DVD set, I would get it, it is worth it. You're sure to see something that will bring back a memory.

』

(Definitely NOT Old School.......)

『I am/was a fan of Sesame Street, was born in 1971 and followed much of the show up until about 1980. As the Old School sets were released, I purchased them, and although they are not perfect by any means, they are a great look back at much of what made the show so magical. When I first learned about this DVD I was a bit hesitant thinking it would be repeating much of what is shown on the first 2 "Old School" sets, but because there were some segments that I felt the Old School sets were missing(The "O" song, Lowercase n and a few others), I thought I would give it a try. Well, sad to say, the first disc 1969-1989 is basically the best of the old school dvds crammed into one disc, sure there are some "new" segments, but much more that I would like to forget (Mr. Hooper surfing in Hawaii...was his back really that hairy?..some creepy Televisionmonster thing). So...if you are a fan of the Old School Sesame, then stick with the Old School sets, and skip this one. Hopefully they will eventually release complete seasons so we get to see ALL the good stuff.』

(Old School--Not so much. Roosevelt Franklin? Who was he again?)

『First, a proviso. I love Sesame Street. Love it. Or at least, I loved it from when I was a child--from its inception until approximately 1980. So, I write this review with a heavy heart.

Second, I was always looking for the Old School content on this DVD. I would rather Elmo and the post-racial rainbow kids had never been invented. Roosevelt Franklin, writers who met social, racial and class conditions head-on, the music of Joe Raposo--this is what I wanted.

How disappointing. There is a minimum of new material from the Old School DVD collections. And Joe Raposo's name is not even prominent (is it even mentioned?) in the book that accompanies the DVDs. I'll have to read it again, but Jon Stone is fronted and Raposo is definitely in the background.

Anyway, I'll just have to keep hoping that the marketing gurus at Sesame Wallet Project see fit in the future to release our childhood memories more systematically and completely. We trusted you. Now give us back what we invested in you!』

(What a wonderful DVD!)

『I grew up with Sesame Street, and now that my kids are 1 and 3, I'm falling in love with Sesame Street all over again. This is a fantastic DVD! It's literally packed with wonderful songs, ABCs, counting, story time - all the things myself and my parents loved about the show when I was little. My son's favorite characters are Ernie and Bert, and some of the stand-alone DVDs I've bought for him over the past year barely mention them. With over 5 hours of Sesame Street on this set, Ernie and Bert get a little more screen time.
It's a good value too - the individual DVDs are ten or more dollars for 30-45 minutes, and this HUGE set is only 20. I'm very happy with my purchase.』
『With over 5 hours of iconic moments, favorite songs, celebrity segments and exclusive never-before-seen backstage footage, this commemorative DVD Collection is a must own for every Sesame Street fan!』

(The Best Version of Dickens' Timeless Holiday Tale)

『This is the one "Scrooge" that I HAVE to watch every Christmas! It's a classic film, telling a classic story, and the adaptation is brilliant and near flawless. Alastair Sim gives an amazing performance, and all the other actors are gems, especially Kathleen Harrison as Mrs. Dilber, and Mervyn Johns as Bob Crachit. Michael Hordern is a superb Marley's Ghost, wailing and screaming enough to terrify Scrooge to shivering. The music is also an enormous asset, written by Richard Addinsell, and perfect for the film. See the film in black and white, turn on the original mono sound, and set it to the original 4x3 aspect ratio. Don't watch the widescreen version which crops the top and bottom of the original frame. They also have a 5.1 soundtrack, which is a false 5.1, and it should only be listened to in the original mono sound.』

(A Great Christmas Classic)

『This version of A Christmas Carol is the best all around film. The story and the cast are second to none and is a truly enjoyable Christmas Classic for any age.』

(Color, black and white, black and blue...great in any format!)

『I love this movie in its original black and white. My opinion, without doubt, the best of all the filmed CHRISTMAS CAROLS. Alastair Sim is the Scrooge for the ages. So the question is, does colorization make this film better or improve it in any way? The answer is no. It can't be improved because it's already perfect. But colorization certainly does add an element of fun in watching it after repeated b&w viewings. And if colorization gets younger viewers to watch this wonderful movie, than it's more than a gimmick. It's a tool to encourage those not familiar with the film classics to give them a look.
As far as the actual colorization goes, I really don't see much improvement in the process in all the years it's been around. Having said that, this film sort of lends itself to the process however because of the locale and nature of the storytelling so the faded, less than crisp colors don't detract from the picture and can almost seem like they might belong. More important than the colorization, is the added feature in this package of the widescreen presentation of the black and white version which looks terrific!
So if you are a fan of the movie and would like to see what it looks like colorized (and I admit I always do like to see the colorization of the classics just for the fun of it) or even if you would like to see the b&w version in widescreem (I'm really not sure how they achieved this cause it wasn't filmed in widescreen but looks here like it really was: no distortion or zoom-like cutoffs at all!) or if you are a collector of anything A CHRISTMAS CAROL, then I happily recommend this version to you. Happy Holidays!
PS: For us collectors of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, this packaging is pretty nifty, too!』

(Finally!)

『I've always enjoyed watching this movie broadcast each Christmas on local TV, but the last few years it was limited to PBS at midnight and then last year I was so disappointed to find it not broadcast at all! The movie is such a treasure and my favorite take on the Dicken's classic. Alistair Sim is perfect and no other actor lives up to his interpretation in my view. The digital remake here is excellent and much better than the quality that I've been watching on TV over the last three decades. I enjoy the black&white but for those who like the color, you get that too. A great deal here to watch year after year.』

(Worth purchasing, even with all the caveats)

『I've known this movie for most of my life, and have owned it on VHS, laserdisc, initial DVD releases and now this UCE. I can say without hesitation that this mastering is by far the best one I've ever seen. The picture is cleaned up considerably and is steady as a rock. The contrast and depth is the best ever, and the sound is also excellent. At the going rate of anywhere from $8-12USD, it's cheap and a good investment. You won't feel cheated by this purchase.

That said, I agree with the caveats others have voiced. To that, I would add that the English subtitles could have been better done. There are sync problems with some of them - some subtitles either appear too early or too late with the words being spoken on the screen. Also, some lines in the film have no subtitles at all. Worst, some of the subtitles are clearly wrong, and don't reflect what the actors are saying.

I'll give you two instances of this: in the book, Dickens mentions that after leaving his office, "Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of the evening with his banker's-book, went home to bed." This is expanded upon in the film: Scrooge is seen eating his dinner. A waiter passes by, and Scrooge asks him for "more bread." The waiter answers, " 's a hay-penny extra, sir" (ie: it's a half-penny extra, sir). Scrooge responds, "no more bread." The dialogue for this scene doesn't appear in Dicken's story and was obviously added to the film to show Scrooge for the miser that he is.

But the UCE gets the waiter's line wrong, translating it in the subtitles as "Take's me extra, sir"!

Say, wha???

The second example occurs when post-ghost visits, Scrooge awakens to Xmas morning, looks out his window and hails a boy running down the street. He instructs the boy to go to the butcher down the street and to purchase the prized turkey in the window. In Dickens' book, the boy replies, "Walk-er!" which was a slang term used in Dickens' time that meant that something wasn't true or wasn't going to happen, and that's what the child actor says in the film. Rather than subtitle the actual word the actor speaks, the subtitles give an approximation of what the slang term, "Walk-er," means. The word "Walker" appears as "won't occur" in the subtitles.

I guess there might be some logic to this example, but I would have preferred a subtitle that was literal. And, as most people don't watch English films with English subtitles, it won't be a distraction for most. I does suggest that the subtitles were done by listening to the voice track and deciphering what the actors were saying, rather than working from a script.

Still, it's very much worth buying this DVD set. VAi seems to put a new mastering of this film out once every 10-15 years, so this is the one collectors will have to live with for the foreseeable future.』
『Alastair Sim's tour-de-force performance as the ultimate miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, has almost single-handedly made this beloved version of Charles Dickens' story into one of the best-loved Christmas films of all time. Some of Britain's best filmmakers united behind Sim, who was joined by a delightful cast of accomplished and acclaimed English actors; creating what many today believe to be the best and most faithful production of Dickens' immortal tale. Cranky and curmudgeonly Scrooge learns the error of his unkind ways and is taught the true meaning of the holidays when he is visited by the ghost of his late business partner and the spirits of Christmas past, present and future.Bonus Features:Audio Commentary by Marcus Hearn&George Cole, "Spirit of Christmas Past" - George Cole remembers Alastair Sim, "Richard Gordon Remembers George Minter&Renown Pictures", "Charles Dickens - His Life&Times", Bonus Colorized Version, Original American Theatrical Trailer, Original British Theatrical Trailer, Before&After Restoration Comparison, Optional English&Spanish Subtitles, Optional Narrative for the Blind, Photo&Press Book Gallery, Cast Bios, "Scrooge" (1935 Seymour Hicks Version)Specs:2-DVD9s; Dolby Digital 5.1; 86 minutes; B&W / Color; Aspect Ratio: B&W Restored Version - 1.33:1; Optional 16x9 Enhanced for Widescreen Monitors; Colorized Version - 1.33:1; MPAA - NR; Year - 1951; SRP - $19.99.』
『This is the desert-island choice of the many versions ofA Christmas Carol, with a magnificent, full-bodied portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge by Alastair Sim that leaves everyone else in the dust. Lean and direct, this film's version of the story wastes no time trying to impress viewers with the magical nature of the spirits' visitations. Director Brian Desmond Hurst keeps the focus on Scrooge's life story, beautifully simplifying and underscoring the theme of lost women with a haunting musical refrain from the folk song "Barbara Allen." Sim's commitment to the role is at times astonishing; his Scrooge's Christmas-morning ecstasy is a marvel of giddy technique. Watch for Patrick Macnee (Steed inThe Avengers) as the young Jacob Marley--the actor made his screen debut in this 1951 production.--Tom Keogh

(Glorious Eye Candy In Blu Ray)

『Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R11KWF43X51QP0』

(Pretty good)

『I bought this movie in conjunction with the 2nd transformers movie (which was even better than the first). Both movies are very good and I would recommend them to anyone who likes action flicks because once the action starts it doesn't slow down very much through the whole movie. Also, if you like Shia labeouf, this is a good movie for you because he did a great job in it as well.』

(Good movie for fans, not a lot of depth)

『Let's face it. This is the sort of movie you watch because you liked the old cartoons, not because you are looking for something with much depth. It fulfils this role admirably well. There are also logical errors that pop up from time to time. For example, the comment about Megatron being brought to Hoover Dam in 1934 and the car being reverse engineered from him misses the fact that cars were around before 1934......

I enjoyed the movie, but it isn't one with a lot of replay value.』

(Transforming the turkey)

『"Transformers" is arguably the worst movie ever made, with the possible exception of "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Why do so many people take it so seriously? Do they have a crush on Sam's criminal girlfriend? Or on that blond woman with the funny accent? She sounds like Kylie Minogue! The fat Black guys were funny when dancing, but only for so long. Oh yes, there were some robots involved, as well. Did anyone notice?

The concept isn't bad (if you are 12 years old). Evil robot, good robot, the All Spark, hot teenage girl, secret government operations, hackers...

The execution, however, is lousy. Frankly, this must be the ultimate turkey movie. And who on earth is that chicken-eating cowboy who shows up all the time? The guy the Indians shoot at?

Oh, sorry, that was a Swedish TV commercial... My mistake.

The only redeeming feature of "Transformers" is the music. Could have worked in a real epic, about Ulysses or something. But otherwise, you need to be pretty low brow to find this even involuntarily funny.

Zero stars.

(Transformers)

『never got the damn movie from this idiot but i have seen the movie before and it is good action and a few laughs. it is not the best movie ive seen but woth owning』
『From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobots® and the evil Decepticons®. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticons® and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he is mankind’s last chance for survival, Sam and Bumblebee, his robot disguised as a car, are in aheart-pounding race against an enemy unlike anything anyone has seen before. It’s the incredible, breath-taking film spectacular that USA Today says “will appeal to the kid in all of us.”』
『"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest,Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.

Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones likeRaiders of the Lost Ark,King Kong, and the early technothrillerWarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley

Film (and Charles Dickens) fans won't want to miss a single screen. The audio commentary by Marcus Hearn and George Cole adds depth and perspective to Sim's amazing performance, and the groundbreaking special effects for the time. Cole also gives a homey remembrance of working with Sim during World War II and living in the English countryside to avoid the Blitz.

One of the most compelling extras is a short bio of George Mintner, the film's executive producer who would go on to found his own successful distribution company, Renown Pictures. An unlikely film mogul, the British Mintner was shy and bookish, but managed to build a reputable mini-studio in the '50s, out of the Hollywood limelight. He produced mostly B-movies, though afterA Christmas Carol(originally titledScrooge), he produced another Dickens adaptation,The Pickwick Papers. There's a great mini-bio of Dickens, who grew up in the poverty that later fascinated him in his writings. Other extras include the colorized version (what were people thinking back in the '80s?), cast bios, original trailers, and a features that more film companies might want to consider, an optional narration for the blind. Nothing is left out for film fans--God bless us, every one.--A.T. Hurley
