NATIONAL TREASURE 2
THE PICTURE WAS GREAT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SUBTITLE IS NOT IN ENGLISH FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED.

Pokemon Movie - The Rise of Darkrai
Pokémon Movie 10
VIZ VIDEO, 2008
From A Collector
I'm an avid DVD collector who loves collecting series. I got "The Rise of Darkrai" because one of the series I collect is Pokemon. Both the movies and the series (in order up to Orange Islands now). This DVD is welcome being that it is a movie. There is no special ...

The Red Balloon (Released by Janus Films, in association with the Criterion Collection)
Pascal Lamorisse, Georges Sellier
Janus Films, 2008
The Red Balloon
This has been a favorite classic since I first saw it in the 50's. Finally it is on a DVD which I sent to my daughter to share with my grandchildren. Of course, I included a package of large RED balloons.

Filmed within the environs of Paris's working class Ménilmontant neighborhood, Albert Lamorisse's delicate and nearly silent 1956 short film The Red Balloon is the story of a lonely, seemingly friendless, young boy named Pascal who one day finds a bright, round red ...

Californication - Season One
David Duchovny, Californication
PARAMOUNT PICTURES, 2008
Not for the faint of heart...
I have read in previous reviews, comparisons to Sex & the City, Deadwood, and all other adult series cable fare but I want to state, for the record, that this is ABOVE all of that. Sex & the City is drivel compared to Californication. There is nothing as entertaining ...

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Widescreen Edition)
Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon
Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2002
I can't tell if this is more funny or scary, Tim Curry as a transexual cross-dresser!!!
For me to rate this movie anyone and everyone who reads this needs to keep in mind that I hate, HATE, musicals (I would rather have my teeth drilled with an old rusty spoon, than watch movies like Greese, Oklahoma or A Sound of Music!), but this movie was so funny and ...

Gilmore Girls - The Complete Seventh Season
Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel
Warner Home Video, 2007
Gilmore Girls Rule!
Got this for myself after getting cut off at the end of season six in reruns. Thoroughly enjoyed getting my GG fix in larger, commercial-free doses, as well as finding out how all the various story lines culminated. Some reviewers have complained that the writing in ...

The X-Files Revelations
David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2008
A Means to an End
I must agree with other reviewers of this item when they say that there are much better episodes to immerse yourself into the world of The X-Files.
This DVD set is being advertised on the premise that it is preparing you for the upcoming movie "The X-Files: I Want ...

Landmark Performance
A taping of the Broadway production, I had my misgivings when I sat down to watch this. Although it had been hailed as a landmark production, the idea of watching a musical in which the actors were the orchestra when they weren't in character was a concept that I just ...

Cranford
Francesca Annis, Eileen Atkins
BBC Warner, 2008
Those Amazing Brits!
I found this series to be powerfully dramatized. Like many series the first episode is not as strong as the following four episodes as the actors discover their characters and the writers unveil their intertwined plots. But Cranford ends with a moving conclusion that ...

Smallville - The Complete Seventh Season
Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum
Warner Home Video, 2008
Smallville Season 7
Another great season packed with new surprises however,I don't see the logic behind having an 8th season (not just because Lex & Lana aren't going to be in many episodes next season) because as a former comic book reader/collector, Clark is a bit beyond the age of the ...

Deadwood - The Complete Third Season
Home Box Office (HBO), 2007
Incredible!!!!!
I fell instantly in love with this series. Once you get past the cursing, you hear the incredible writting. The plot is a fast mover and I find that I can not get up and leave the room, or I will miss something. The characters are all intriquing, and I have many ...
