Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [Blu-ray]

198 reviews
Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett

Paramount, 2008

The Stars are for Indy....not the film
To start off, this film is enjoyable to the die-hard Indy fan - someone like me who grew up watching the daredevil archaeologist in the theaters some 27 years ago. To be honest, I was so excited to see Indiana Jones in the theaters again after all these years, that I was willing to forgive this film its short comings. I saw it three times, and each time I found something new I liked, and ...

The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

452 reviews
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Everything that looks good, ain't good.
I'd like to say the the price wasn't too cheap, because at $23.00, I could have bought this movie new. I figured I haven't had a bad experience in the 2 years I've been purchasing items from Amazon, so I'd buy it anyway. The delivery time was excellent, the case was neat and the disk was spotless...perhaps too clean. It is a copied movie onto a DVD from a pack of DVDs done up with a Label ...

Mad Men - Season One

75 reviews
Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss

American Movie Classics, 2008

This show is great!
This show is great! It's addictive. The acting is superb, with mostly little known or unknown actors you'll want to see more. The writing is first rate. You may also enjoy the "trip" back to the 60's where many things were very different than they are today.

Lonesome Dove [Blu-ray]

5 reviews
Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

You've Never Seen Lonesome Dove Like This!
I pre-ordered this Blu-ray disc when I saw that it was going to be available. I was sceptical as to how much better it would actually be than the DVD version that I already owned. Let me tell you, it is COMPLETELY different. Seriously, the clarity, film quality and Dolby 5.1 surround make this Blu-ray a MUST HAVE for any fan of this Western epic! It is in widescreen for the first time, and ...

The Bank Job

28 reviews
Jason Statham, Saffron Burrows

Lionsgate Home Entertainment, 2008

Awesome and then some
Coinciding with the DVD release, a review in the Wall Street Journal suggested that this was a superb film. And it IS a superb film but for reasons far different than what I anticipated - since the review was not exactly going into many details. [Aside to the reviewer who complained about "sex" - duh, where? I abhor those kinds of scenes and there was merely suggestiveness in this film rather ...

DVD Set of Brideshead Revisited
This is a deluxe set of four DVD discs contained in a white glossy box with a picture of two of the central movie characters on the box. The movie "Brideshead Revisited",based on Evelyn Waugh's 1945 novel was originally made by the BBC between 1979-1981 for television and is one of the best things they have ever done. The movie is in eleven episodes and totals eleven hours of viewing. As I ...

87 reviews
Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox

Sony Pictures, 2008

Excellant
I rented this movie while on vacation and have ordered it to have at home. I will watch it with anyone that will watch it with me. I couldn't keep my eyes off it. You, actually can't take your eyes off or you might miss something. Very action filled and a most enjoyable movie.

Hell Yes To Hellboy
I love Hellboy. He is my newist favorite superhero. Hellboy is the coolest. I think Ron Perlman is the best choise to play Hellboy. I love him playing Hellboy.

Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones

One of the best
I've watched the movie many times on my DVD player, always one of our favorites, but now with the Blu-ray even more so. Outstanding PQ, a must for you Blu-ray collectors.

Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)

410 reviews
James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson

Sony Pictures, 1999

Sense and Sensibility
This is a typical Jane Austen romance, beautifully written and masterfully performed. The witty dialogue is well casted and acted by charming and professional perfomers. Highly recommended, especially for Jane Austen fans.

No Country for Old Men [Blu-ray]

564 reviews
Javier Bardem, Rodger Boyce

WALT DISNEY VIDEO, 2008

Return to Form!
I was taken aback by how interesting and excellent this film was. I saw several reviews over the course of the last year that claimed No Country for Old Men was a disappointment. I found it to be anything but that. Honestly, at just over 2 hours long, I wished its length was double. Its ending may not be what viewers desire but it was appropriate given the nature of the characters. I found The ...

The Way We Were (Special Edition)

86 reviews
Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford

Sony Pictures, 1999

..."BUT IT'S LAUGHTER WE'LL REMEMBER"
The real tragedy of this movie is the apparent disconnect of the title song, found on many Barbra Streisand recordings, and the picture itself. This is one mature love story,beautifully photographed, and very well acted by Redford and Streisand.Released during the Vietnam era,the picture is a breath of fresh air, even though the film portrays protests of the 1940's and 1950's. That's the rub: ...

Amazing Grace

Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai

Amazing Grace
I love this film for many reasons, and I use the movie in my AP classes to show students the power of a man or woman's perseverance to a cause in which he or she believes. The video was reasonably priced and of good quality. I am extremely pleased with this item.

College Road Trip

18 reviews
Michael Landes, Martin Lawrence

Walt Disney Video, 2008

A Fine, Fine Film
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Raven is a doll. Martin is Martin in a G-rated version. I like the way they interact and I am glad to see a movie with a clean-cut black family. I like the fact that there is a Mom and Dad that seem to love each other and their children. This movie can be related to by all families. It gives a person hope that there are still decent people living decent lives.

Dark City (Director's Cut)

Idiocracy

276 reviews
Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph

20th Century Fox, 2007

Scarier than most horror movies, but brilliant social commentary.
As a community college instructor, I was shaking with terror after this movie. It was supposed to be a comedy and indeed, I laughed heartily most of the time while watching. But, later I kept finding myself thinking, "Oh god, that's so true." All in all, it is brilliant and succinct, if not crude, social commentary. Please watch it and share it with your friend. Then donate to Planned ...
