Better Than The First, But Still Not Good
Why did this movie get rave reviews? It was too long, too boring, and DID NOT rewrite the “zombie genre” which so many people claimed it did. I found the the plot jumpy and inconsistent. There was no real “feel” of terror. All that being said, I think the main thing that failed this movie was the outside over-hype. It was nothing that I expected, because if it had been, then it would have been good. Sorry, can’t recommend this one. However, it is better than the first.

not nearly as satisfying as 28 Days Later
28 Days Later is my favorite horror movie of all time, so when I first heard that a sequel was shooting, I was ecstatic. Then, as news trickled in, I became more and more wary of the project. None of the original actors were on board, nor was Danny Boyle slated to be the director. I learned that the storyline focused on a boy, and being the mother of a young boy, this movie became something I thought that would definitely not want to see. But, then, the movie was released. My friends and trusted horror-advisors at horror-movies.ca began raving about the greatest movie of the year. Even months later, board members were still proclaiming this their favorite film of 2007. So, once it came to DVD, I decided to break down and watch it. After all, could I call myself a fan of the first and refuse to see the sequel, 28 Weeks Later? I thought not.

I would like to say that I loved the movie, but I can’t. I liked it. I’ll watch it again. But did I enjoy it more than other 2007 releases? No. I even had a better ride on The Transformers. And I hardly ever enjoy action-adventure flicks. My best guess is that I came into 28 Weeks Later expecting to be thrilled and disappointed. In equal parts. This impossible equation almost always leads to disappointment. This is an esoteric criticism, but I also have details to support my displeasure.

The biggest problem with 28 Weeks Later was the flow of the story. Being a sequel of a hugely successful movie buys the right to jump right into the action, however, viewers were thrust into a house full of strangers. The only familiarity was what was going on outside, with the Rage Infected crazies creating havoc. I tried to get to know these people, I wanted to find a compassionate character in the mother, but it was difficult to care with so little background. When the next phase of the film begins, 28 weeks later, we meet the children of the fated couple, and are more smoothly drawn into their situation. They are, after all, kids, the youngest in new Britain, so you want them to survive and anxiously await the resurfacing of the infection that will endanger them.

The action was awesome, as were the effects. I absolutely adore the savages, their eyes filled with blood and fury. They are so scary and so dangerous, and the scene where the infection spreads through a confined group like wildfire heightens the excitement and urgency in a way that wasn’t exposed in 28 Days Later. The music also recalled the original movie in a positive way, showing the isolation of the characters who were trying so hard to cleave together and to survive.

The plot seemed to jump along. The military doctor and the sniper were meant to be sympathetic saviors, but their motives didn’t move me (even though they might have had they been better defined), and then there was the huge problem of the father’s constant return. The little group of survivors was moving around by foot and car, through all kinds of destruction, and that darned Dad just kept showing up. It was too unbelievable, as was the plot culmination. The movie came to an abrupt end, and left me quite unsatisfied.

28 Weeks Later is an example of one of those movies whose separate parts (cinematography, effects, soundtrack, etc.) are exhilarating, but without that strength of plot, falls short.

Better than the first one by far
I am sometimes a little iffy when it comes to naughty movies. My Christian friends, the most devout among them, are always cautioning me against indulging in what they call the “devil’s work”. A gory scarefest like “28 Weeks Later” qualifies, at least in their eyes.

But as you regular readers know, I have a checkered past and have run with some pretty hedonistic crowds in my day. I had to keep it a secret from my church group that I watched “28 Days Later” - which wasn’t hard because as a rather blatant amalgam of many superior movies, I was underwhelmed. Though at least we got a brief glimpse of Cillian Murphy’s pee pee. No such luck with Robert Carlyle in the sequel. But in every other department this sequel outdoes the original.

This was definitely a slow-builder but once it got going, it didn’t let up until the end. It’s only 90 minutes long, but feels more like 50 minutes given that the chills and thrills come fast and steady. Not for the very squeamish.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back To London…
Having panned the unhorrific 28 DAYS LATER, I don’t know what possessed me to record this sequel on my DVR and watch it. But, I’m glad that I did. I thought the original was a dull character driven rip-off of George Romero’s Horror Classic DAY OF THE DEAD with almost NO horror to be seen anywhere up on the screen.

I’m thrilled to say that this Post Apocalyptic Spin-off literally trounces 28 DAYS LATER in terms of doomsday atmosphere, suspense, frights, and gory thrills. There are moments in this film that had me jumping off my couch. Not an easy task to accomplish. Excellent job.

MINOR SPOILER: Suffice it to say, there are minor quibbles with the plot. These kind of films are never perfect in suspending disbelief. I won’t go into the plot of this “stand alone” story. (Read other reviews for that, this is for those that saw the film.) But, I was eagerly anticipating a bloody ignominious end to some of the protagonists in this film. Usually, any character that causes untold pain and suffering upon the rest of the cast is dispatched in due course in a horror film. I don’t know if the filmmakers purposely had me wishing for their demise or it was entirely a “happy accident” (an unintended accident that helps a film). It certainly made sympathy for the protagonists more precarious.

Even though the ending didn’t hand me the desired result, any horror film that frightens me, and gets me THAT worked up over the circumstances of its lead characters gets my FIVE STAR rating every time.

Some of the images of horror, desolation, and devastation are some of the best I’ve ever seen in this genre and stayed with me long after my initial viewing. TERRIFIC! Kudos to the Special Effects team and the director, Fresnadillo. Along with Rodriguez’ superbly comic PLANET TERROR, Latino directors seem to be making the best films in this genre at the moment. I hope that they become a serious voice in Horror like their Italian cousins. Here’s to more great Horror films, guys. I’m impressed.

I may have loathed the first film, but I’m a serious FAN of this sequel. The blurb on the box is absolutely wrong. It’s MUCH MUCH “better than the original.” By a bloody mile!

This is a FUN, FRIGHTENING, and SUSPENSEFUL HORROR CLASSIC! And a much better addition to the genre than its lackluster mother. I hope this series takes us further to the VERY EDGE of Survival Horror, much like The RESIDENT EVIL series is doing. Mon Dieu, I can’t wait for the sequel!

ENJOY.

WWI Reality Based Film
Tony Bill has directed one great reality based film. It show a reality of WWI fliers that is difficult to believe, but the fact is it happened. Young men, some from America, did go to France to fly the first planes every to take to the skies to fight against anyone and in this case, the Huns (Germans) This is the story of those young men. It contains believable footage, great acting and the reality of what it might have been to be there.

Up up & away!
Here is a story about some of the very first military aviators the world has ever seen. While hot air balloons were used during the Civil War to survey battlefields, WWI was the first conflict in which military aviation made a huge impact on the outcome.

Long before flight simulators, ejection seats and pilot training schools (which take years & years to complete), the world saw pilots who flew by the seat-of-their pants and took just a few months to become qualified to take to the skies. They used incredibly primitive flight simulators to learn what they could on the ground, and there was little rm to develop bad habits as they were pushed straight into conflict as soon as they were able to control their aircraft.

James Franco is an up & coming actor who has his chance as a sort Errol Flynn role, and he pulls it off nicely. His character is a Texan who finds himself @ the end of his rope. So, he sets off for France during WWI and becomes a fighter pilot. Along the way, he meets up with several other Americans doing the same thing. While they may have fudged some details, all of the major characters in the film depict historical people.

It’s unfortunate that this movie didn’t do all that great at the box office. World War One doesn’t generate a lot of interest these days, and that’s a shame. Up until WWII, it was the most important war the world had ever seen. Sadly, its mantra as the “War to end all wars” has long since become an obsolete concept. Nevertheless, it is a vitally important war for us to understand as its a war our great grandparents fought in. While the FX of this film are quite impressive, the main reason you should pick this DVD up is simply because it’s history on the screen. It’s your history, and it’s my history.

Flyboys
Here is another example of Hollywood going wrong. The history that is implicated in the events portrayed in this movie is not all that tough to get right. Nevertheless, the film makers got a few details correct, but then added improbable special effects, far too many triplanes, annoying social lesson stereotypes, and a host of ridiculous story twists and time wasting baggage. Conceptually, the movie should have been a winner. In execution, it is a disappointment. They ruined a potentially good story. Instead of buying this movie, I would suggest the Blue Max as the aerial scenes are far better, or just propose that the would-be viewer read a history book.

As a parting comment, however, I always have liked Jean Reno. He is the good part of this film.

Flyboys
I waited for this movie to come out and was disappointed with it. It is a fair story with many Hollywood history mistakes. Not all German planes were red, not all German planes were Fokker Triplanes (only around 300 made) they had a short run because of manufacturing problems, wings would come apart in a dive. The real airplanes of that time could not do half of the aerobatics that they show in the movie, they also would self destruct from G forces. They were mainly wood and fabric. They had 2 lions (whiskey & soda) not just one. There was a black pilot, but he came in late in the war and only had 1 and possibly 2 confirmed kills. I am now waiting for the new movie “The Red Baron” that was made in Germany and will be released on May 10th in Europe. It at least looks very accurate compared to the garbage that they put into The Flyboys. The movie is fair, but I would not go out of my way to purchase it if I new of all the historical mistakes in it. The producers even state they changed a lot of facts so that the average person would find it entertaining and not get confused at who was the bad guys. (Germans in red airplanes, “Red Baron”)

A bland romance with some flying action thrown in
“Flyboys” pretends to be the 21st century version of the first Academy Award winner for best picture, “Wings” from 1927. There are a lot of similarities in the film — both feature American boys going off to France in World War I as aerial aces; both films have lengthy romantic interludes; and both feature pretty good air action scenes in dogfights with Germans.

Yet it is, ironically, the older film that is more authentic, more fun, has better flying scenes, and has better music than its newer mate. “Wings”, which was among Gary Cooper’s first films, is more naive in its “script” (it’s a silent film) but far more realistic and exciting in its all-important aerial scenes.

What “Flyboys” does with aerial excitement is pretty typical and bland by 21st century standards. Most of the scenes are computer-generated and feature things that could not possibly happen mixed with a perfection that obviously wasn’t the case in 1918, when the United States officially entered the war.

In one instance, an American flyboy — being tailed by a German — lets off the throttle, the plane goes backward, and his stationary wheels rip through the upper fuselage of the German plane, knocking it out of air. Sure, that could happen, uh huh.

Both films features lengthy and boring love scenes but, again, the older movie has the better stuff. The love scenes between Buddy Rogers and his female star in “Wings” is more authentic, more interesting and, frankly, more realistic than the nonsense that goes on being American flyboys and French girls that don’t even speak the same language.

Still, this movie is good for an evening’s entertainment but people around here giving it five stars and saying it’s great apparently have never seen another film. This movie has long, long boring sequences between the action and it goes on far too long. At almost 130 minutes, this movie is at least 30 minutes too long. It could have been edited compactly to fit a 95-minute span that would have left viewers fresh and involved. As it is, it overstays its welcome by at least a half-hour.

If you are thinking of renting or buying “Flyboys”, do yourself a favor and watch “Wings” from 1927 instead. That movie has the best World War I air sequences ever filmed and, by comparison with “Flyboys”, is still exceptionally relevant in 2008.

Great show, Crappy way to end it….or lack of an ending
Nice DVD set, your standard box set. No complaints there. USA sucks for cutting the series short though, if you missed the last season and need to play catch up it’s worth it, just dont expect a whole lot of much needed closure.

The reason I cancelled my cable service.
The title of this review may make it sound like I hated this show… not so, I found it far more enjoyable than the glut of cheaply made “Reality” shows that are flooding the network programming. I cancelled my Cable after this show was cancelled, due to the irresponsible way networks have been cancelling show after show that I enjoy (Dead like me, Serenity, Angel, Wonderfalls, Joey, Dark angel… add infinitum)with no Viable conclusion. It’s like a constant slap in the face to invest a couple years in a show just to have it cancelled because the writers have written themselves into a corner.

I still watch all the shows I like, I just wait until they’re on DVD and rent them from Netflix. I can then watch the entire show’s run in a couple weekends and I don’t have to see a single commercial.

This show was just starting to get really poignant with the new story arcs they opened up, but when they just cancelled it for no reason. I turned to alternatives. I doubt that the networks care that I cancelled my cable, but hopefully enough people will get tired of the networks thumbing their noses at them and follow suit. I understand the need to cancel shows, just do it responsibly. The shows are the network’s product. If I continually received imcomplete products from a store, I would no longer shop there. It doesn’t have to be a good conclusion, just some closure… Joss Whedon understands this better than anyone. Fox prematurly cancelled Firefly, so Joss made a movie and tied almost everything up. The same thing happened with Stargate Sg-1. ((Networks, pay attention: If you want people to continue to buy your products, quit slapping your customers in the face!)) That’s my rant… I leave the fight in your capable hands, because I no longer care what the networks do. Fight the good fight and cancel your cable.

The best season of the series. Spoilers might be revealed so becareful.
It is a shame that the show got canceled season 4 to me was considered the most action packed of the whole series and now it will never get to be finished. But the end could be taken as some closure if you see it in another perspective. you can see it that Heaven on earth is happening just like Jordan dreamt about. cause seattle is now Promise city and you can take that Tom does take the shot cause since the book says he does then he will. Cause the ending really did not end on a nail biting cliffhanger like the rest of the seasons. If a 5th comes out I can’t wait and if it does not then I am satisfied with the way it ended.

WHY???? CANCELLED!! MAYBE SCI-FI CHANNEL WILL PICK IT UP.
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHY?? THE SERIES WAS EXCELLENT,THE WRITING,ACTING & PLOT WAS ALOT BETTER THAN MOST OF THE SHOWS ON NETWORK TV, HBO OR SHOWTIME! IS THIS SERIES GOING TO BE PICKED UP? ARE THEY GOING TO FINISH THE STORY? IT’S NOT FAIR TO SPEND MONEY & TIME WACTHING A SERIES, THEN YOU DON’T GET THE WHOLE STORY! IT’S LIKE BUYING A BOOK, THEN WHEN THE STORY GET’S EXCITING THE PAGES ARE MISSING!!! PLEASE STOP RIPPING OFF US; THE CONSUMER’S! DVD’S AREN’T CHEAP TO BUY!! SOME PEOPLE DON’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THE TELEVISED VERSION, AND SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THE DVD SET! SO IF THE STORY IS NOT COMPLETE, CAN I/WE GET A REFUND?!

Find out who cancels shows “before their time” and FIRE THEM!
I am hoping the Writer’s Strike included allowing them to bring a show to a reasonable conclusion in the future.

The employees who are responsible for cancelling shows “before their time” should be FIRED!

That particular list is becoming longer than any of us care to see and as a fellow reviewer points out, the replacement show is not as good as the one “They” prematurely cancel. It’s rediculous and I hope someone, the writers, perhaps, can stop this! It is becoming an epidemic: Execs cancel creative show in favor of one of lesser intelligent writing, acting, plot…FIRE THEM NOW! If they’re “At Will” employees, today should be their last day. If contracted, I’m sure a violation can be found! Get rid of them, not the shows we are watching!

“Pretty Solid Sequel”
After the first Rambo film 1982`s “First Blood” which reached a certain success with the audience,Stallone returned as John Rambo in “First Blood Part II” in 1985.This sequel is often remembered more than the original Rambo,who was based on David Morrell`s “First Blood” novel but was entirely rewritten for a movie but still keeping many of the basic elements of the book.Stallone gave us once again a great action movie that he can be proud of and that we can enjoy over and over again.It was filmed entirely in Mexico,not that it really matters,i just tought i`d add that in for extra information.It certainly has it`s own story and doesn`t copy the first at all,add to that it has even more violence than the first film.It seems that with each Rambo movies the more violence they have and that was proven to me with this one,”Rambo III”(1988) and “Rambo”(2008).

In “First Blood Part II” Rambo is currently serving five years in prison for his acts in “First Blood” at the beggening of the movie,until he gets released by Colonel Trautman if he accepts the mission the colonel gives him.As you could or should have guessed he accepted.Rambo must head for the P.O.W camp he escaped from in 1971 in order to find out if there are still some P.O.W.`s held in the camp.If he succeds he will be pardonned from jail and once again be a free man.Rambo does find many american hostages there and you can expect plenty of action from there.He must face many dangers that are very real.He also meets a young vietnamese girl whom he has a good relationship(not sexually)with and they become good friends.There are some flashback scenes from Rambo`s past in which he was tortured by the ennemies and we see how he got that big cut on his chest.I don`t want to give way the movie in every single details but there is plenty of action,killing,guns and other materials that can be 1)cool or 2)offensive depending of you,but be aware that all these aspects are in the film.

The special features.It is known already that the movie itself is incredible as well as a must see classic.The features from previous releases are gone for the most part.The first Rambo had the alternate ending s while this one has pretty much nothing.There are trailers for the movie,retrospectives and that`s about it.There are many possibilities for audio and visual which gives way to many options to set the movie to your liking with the metascopes and other modes that let you watch the film in different ways.I wonder why they cutted the extras,they did the same for the Rocky remasters.My advice : if you have the older versions don’t get these you won’t get anything new.its not worth it.If you cans score one of these “Special Editions” then you might consider yourself to have gotten a great deal.Those “Ultimate Editions” aren’t so ultimate after all.

“First Blood Part II” stands as a classic and a must have.It does not suit everyone be advised so have to know a minimum on the movie before you actually rent and/or buy it.As mentionned above those editions aren’t the best and the older editions are much better.Yet this one is easier to find and ainvailable nearly everywhere DVDs are sold which is pretty much the only advantage with these Ultimate editions.You can also save a lot by buying the “Ultimate Edition” boxed set of the first three Rambo.Overral,a solid sequel definatly worth seeing.Not the best Rambo but surely not the worst either and as a matter of fact pretty good!You can’t go wrong by picking this up if you are a fan of action movies and/or Sylvester Stalone,I liked both so this definatly worked for me.

NOTE: A few weeks prior to writting this review the fourth Rambo was released,”Rambo”,in theatres January 25th 2008.

The Most Accurate Documentary Ever Made!
This is definitely one for the ages! This is exactly what the Vietnam War was like. Our soldiers were fantastically superior killing machines that racked up huge bodycounts, and the exploding arrows really came in handy. There were plenty of times that one single man would walk into an enemy base carrying an M-60 and would wipe out an entire battalion. If only those dirty libs hadn’t ended our fun so early, we wouldn’t have had to pull out and leave a couple of them alive. We even left a handful of buildings still standing.

Rambo Returns To Do What He Does Best…
Sometimes in the world of cinema it actually pays to follow the studio’s instincts, or at least those of the creative forces behind a film. In the case of the `Rambo’ franchise, the instincts of those involved focused on a decision of whether or not to ignore/omit certain aspects to the film’s storyline even though it originated from the source material. This decision to make changes to the story, though questioned by some, was a very wise and extremely lucrative one for the series, as it has gone on to be one of the most successful action franchises in history and made the title character into one of America’s beloved action heroes. Had those involved in the first film chosen to go with the original ending in the script, and the novel on which the film was based upon, then in the final moments of the movie the character of John Rambo would have committed suicide rather than having Col. Trautman bring him in safely to custody. If that downer, though probably more realistic, ending to the movie had stayed in the film (it was actually filmed, but was removed after test audiences felt it was too depressing), then Rambo would have never gone on to be featured in three more sequels, Sylvester Stallone would be stuck with having Rocky Balboa as the only signature role of his career (though there are worse fates for an actor), and America would have never been given the chance to make John Rambo into the hero and pop culture icon that he is today. As a side note, actor Kirk Douglas was originally cast to play Col. Trautman in “First Blood” but dropped out of the role when he learned of the possible changing of the ending, he wanted the film to remain as true to the book as possible right down to the suicide of John Rambo. Fortunately, all of that didn’t happen and due to the great success of “First Blood” the prospect of a sequel was soon made into a reality when director George P. Cosmatos (”Tombstone”), along with stars Sylvester Stallone (”First Blood” and the `Rocky’ franchise) and Richard Crenna (”First Blood”) brought the highly anticipated, action-packed follow-up “Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ to the big screen.

“Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ takes place some time after the events of the original film, and John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is serving out his prison sentence in peace. However, when Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) arrives with a top-secret proposal from the U.S. government that would grant Rambo an early parole, just so long as he does what they are asking of him, Rambo’s peaceful existence comes to a rather abrupt end. Per the government’s orders, the only way Rambo can gain this early parole is for him to agree to return to Vietnam in search of American POW’s left over from the war. With freedom in his grasp, and the possibility of freeing some of his brothers-in-arms, Rambo will stop at nothing to find his fellow American’s trapped behind enemy lines, and God be with anyone that gets in his way.

The original film, “First Blood” was an extremely fast-paced, intense survivalist adventure that also served as an interesting study on the treatment of war veteran’s by society. For the sequel, “Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ the story’s focus is shifted somewhat away from the fractured psyche of John Rambo and his mistreatment by U.S. citizen’s from his time spent serving in Vietnam, and more onto Rambo’s attempts to find and rescue as many of his fellow soldiers as possible. Some critics complained that those responsible for “Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ made a mistake in eliminating the heavier story elements and replacing them with even more action than what was contained in the original film. I for one disagree with this sentiment; yes there is a lesser amount of time spent dwelling on the deeper issues of the title character, but audiences would no doubt grow tired of the series if the focus never moved on beyond Rambo’s struggle to come to grips with himself and the world around him. The choice to ratchet up the action within the film was a good decision for the filmmakers to make, after all this is an action film (as was the first one), and what would an action film be without plenty of violence, explosions, and weapons galore? Now, you might say well it sounds like the critics complaints may be accurate and that this franchise had become just another action franchise, just with a much more recognizable character as the hero, but other than that it’s no different. Well, my response to that is this, yes there’s plenty of action all throughout the film, but the heavy elements of the original film are still intact and receive numerous references over the course of the movie. As for the rest of the film’s story, there are plenty of interesting plot points and character developing moments to drive the story forward, without needing to rely solely on the action to keep things moving along.

The characters for the film were brought to life by an extremely talented group of actors, comprised primarily of character actors, led by stars Sylvester Stallone and Richard Crenna, both reprising their roles from the original film. I enjoyed seeing Rambo tackle a different kind of villain than the one he had faced in the original movie, the original film featured villains that weren’t actually evil people, they were just ordinary, everyday citizens that were too blinded by their prejudices and fear of what they don’t understand, that they went too far to protect their way of life. In this film, the villains are much darker and more evil, as we are shown over the course of Rambo’s mission in Vietnam to save POW’s; however, the villains weren’t only those holding our soldiers prisoner, there were also some wolves hiding in sheep’s clothing so to speak, that were supposedly working alongside Rambo during his mission. It was this aspect of duplicity within some of the characters that made for numerous interesting sequences throughout the film, serving to create some juicy drama and tension among the characters giving the film a sense of unpredictability, and served as a key reason for why this franchise still remains a cut above the rest of its genre.

For those nay-sayers that want to believe that “Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ was the initial signs that the franchise was losing its focus and becoming just another run-of-the-mill action series, I say give the film another look. There is plenty of drama, character development, and plot twists to keep the story moving during the times when Rambo isn’t killing someone or blowing something up on screen. Is this sequel as deep as the original film? No, but it isn’t shallow by any means either and still contains many of the deep issues that were introduced in “First Blood” without focusing on them completely so as to not seem like a rehash of the first movie. “Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ is an extremely exciting, fast-paced, action thrill ride that serves as a fitting sequel to the original film that introduced America to the hero that is John Rambo.

“Rambo: First Blood Part 2″ is rated R for violence and language.

Rambo II
I loved Rambo II. We get to see John Rambo back in Vietnam — “in his element” as the saying goes. His character is better developed. We get to see him coming from a place of strength instead of a place of weakness as in Rambo I. His misplaced aggression in the first movie is re-directed in a positive direction in this one. Because he engages a real enemy in Rambo II, there is more violence and blood than in the first one. He looks better in the second one, too!!

Entertainingly Stupid
I literally almost lost my life watching this movie when it first came out. My friend went to see it and told me it was so funny that we had to go. The theater was jam packed and we had to sit in the front rowe. I was eating popcorn and we were both laughing so hard at how dumb and ridiculous that it was that I sucked a piece of popcorn down my throat. And when they tell you that when you are choking you can’t make a sound… they are right! I managed to lean foward, stick my finger down my throat and dislodge the meddlesome piece of puffed corn.

Now… that is how stupid this movie is. It is SOOOOOOOOOO STUPID it almost killed me. Now that is STUPID.

A Cut Above Other TV Movies
Scenes of a man’s life play out in many flashbacks, capturing crucial moments that help explain why he is the way he is today. You’re probably well aware that this movie involves a mother-son relationship, but it also just as importantly covers father-son and father-daughter.

If you are an adult, it has the potential to break your heart, and/or inspire you to treat the people in your life better, including treating yourself better. Or it might just make you feel uncomfortable.

Because of the modern day daughter in the movie, teenage girls will probably relate the most to this movie, as it gives them a peek into figuring out why their dad acts the way he does. The movie is a bit slow and seems to be geared more towards women. I think they hired the actor from the Sopranos to try to attract more men viewers.

A movie like this is designed to make you stop and think about your own life (with a little supernatural gimmick thrown in for creativity). It’s not as effective as say, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but what is? Being an adult man, I personally enjoyed the similarly-themed movie “The Family Man” with Nicolas Cage more than this movie. But the themes are always worth repeating, and getting slightly different takes on.

If you can handle that it’s a bit boring, slow, and predictable (in my opinion), I still recommend it. As far as film adaptations of Mitch Albom’s books go, I would list “Tuesdays with Morrie” the best (by far), “For One More Day” second best, and “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” third place.

Maybe Mitch Albom should try and find some more inspiring non-fiction stories to write. Until then, we are treated to these slightly manipulative, although thankfully non-trashy, works of fiction.

Michael Imperioli Proves He Is More Than Christopher Moltasanti!!
Well before THE SOPRANOS came on the scene in 1999

and made a serious impact on pop culture and television,

Michael Imperioli, who skillfully played the complex and

sociopathic nephew of Tony Soprano, Christopher Moltasanti,

had established himself as a very good character & supporting actor

who could hold his own against many well-known actors and actresses.

He’s also turned in some good performances where he was the

featured actor which didn’t get as much notoriety as his work

with The Sopranos.

Soon after that unforgettable series ended in 2007,

he teamed with Oprah Winfrey to do this television movie

“For One More Day”, where he does an excellent job and shows

that he is so much more than a common mafia crew member.

He brings such a depth and passion to his character and

veteran actress Ellen Burstyn shines in this too!

I don’t want to give the story away, but this is a good movie

that kind of went under the radar when it came out.

A good addition to your DVD collection.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir - a Classic
A perfect Classic - an unusual story line, entertaining and romantic. What more could anyone want? Yes, it’s black and white, but once you get into the movie, you don’t notice it. It’s a movie perfect for the entire family. So, pop up some popcorn and prepare to be entertained.

A Charming Surprise!
My sister made me watch this one night when there was nothing else on. I was fully prepared to dislike this movie if only because the plot sounded so silly. I am usually not a fan of old movies and certainly not romantic tearjerkers, which my sister loves. But to my surprise I was caught up in this unassuming little story from the beginning. And I cried at the end. So give this movie a chance even though it does not seem to be your cup of tea. The word “charm” is overused by reviewers, but I can’t think of a better word to describe the Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
If your are a romantic and don’t mind crying a little you will like this story. Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison are superb. It is a classic in all respects.

A haunting tale of love and the sea
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, based on the novel by Josephine Leslie (as R.A. Dick) and screenplay by Philip Dunne, is the English Victorian tale of widowed Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) and her young daughter Anna (Natalie Wood). Wood turns in a spirited performance as young Anna, although she is not given a great deal of screen time. Edna Best makes a charming companion for the isolated Lucy as her outspoken maid Martha. Lucy’s meddling in-laws want to force Lucy and Anna to move to London, but Lucy is offended by their view that she is helpless and incapable of supporting herself and her daughter on her writing. Tierney brings a gravity to her role befitting the Victorian era, but tempers it with a playful, witty streak. Harrison is effective as the gruff sea captain with a heart of gold. The two strike up an amazing amount of chemistry despite the physical distance between the actors; instead, emotion is conveyed through glances and words.

The two move to a cottage by the sea that’s curiously affordable considering the great view, but Lucy soon finds out why. It’s haunted by the ghost of Captain Daniel Gregg (Rex Harrison), a cantankerous old salt who’s overly fond of swearing and frightening off prospective buyers. Lucy, however, is very forward and independent for her era and refuses to be forced out of her new home in Gull Cottage, so the two reach a kind of truce.

Lucy and Daniel soon strike up a deep friendship bordering on romance, and Lucy, a writer, agrees to ghost write Capt Gregg’s autobiography. During her meetings with the publisher, she is charmed by Miles Fairley (George Sanders), a famous children’s author, and Daniel reluctantly lets Lucy pursue a flesh-and-blood suitor. The ending (much-copied) may be one of the most romantic on film, and clearly inspired later time-travel romance Somewhere in Time (Collector’s Edition).

The film is marked by beautiful cinematography, particularly of the sea (filmed at Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey, and various other California coastal locations), and a lush, haunting score by Bernard Herrmann (The Ghost And Mrs. Muir: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) that may be one of the most poetic film scores ever along with John Barry’s Somewhere In Time (1998 Re-recording).

The DVD thankfully features many fine extras, such as commentaries by film historian Gregg Kimble and Bernard Herrmann expert Christopher Husted, commentary by chairman of film studies at Wesleyan University Jeanine Bassinger and Kenneth Geist (biographer of Joseph L. Mackiewicz), A&E Biography:”Rex Harrison: The Man Who Would Be King,” the original theatrical trailer, and a still gallery. This is a fitting tribute to one of the most timeless screen romances, and fans of Somewhere in Time (Collector’s Edition) will feel right at home.

One of a Kind, Exquisite and Perfect
On any list of the Ten Most Romantic Films Ever Made, “The Ghost and Mrs Muir” will likely always be present. This beautiful 1947 black and white film by Joseph Mankiewiecz, with a gorgeous score by Bernard Herrmann (better known for the foreboding ones he did for Alfred Hitchcock), and marvellous performances by Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison, represents the best of post-War British romanticism. It can only be described as - well, haunting. Once seen, never forgotten, and pull out your handkerchiefs, you will need at least two.

Gene Tierney plays Lucy Muir, an exquisite young widow with a little girl who moves to the seashore to get away from her late husband’s domineering sister and mother. Lucy’s financial resources are limited, but she happens onto a house overlooking the sea that is surprisingly affordable - it appears the house has had trouble remaining occupied, due to “disturbances”. Lucy and her daughter fall in love with the house and move in, accompanied by Martha, their housekeeper. Shortly afterward, Lucy is confronted by the source of the house’s disturbances: its former owner, one Captain Gregg, a seaman who died in the house, and still considers it his. He has chased out all subsequent owners and intends to do the same with Lucy, but she stands up to him defiantly, and lets him know that she will NOT be leaving and he can do as likes. He admires her spirit, and, having glimpsed her beauty (Ms. Tierney was surely at her most radiant in this film), he softens and agrees to share the house with her and her little family, although she asks him to refrain from contact with her little girl. Captain Gregg is played by Rex Harrison at his most attractive, giving the role an irrisistible blend of charm, irony, and crustiness.

A bantering but affectionate friendship develops between Lucy and Captain Gregg’s ghost. The Captain has clearly fallen for the new owner of the house, so much so that when Lucy’s slender funds begin to run low and she confronts the possibility of losing the house she has come to love as much as he, Gregg dictates his very salty memoirs to her - they are published and become a best seller, ensuring Lucy’s future.

However, Captain Gregg eventually realizes that his presence in Lucy’s life is preventing her from going out and meeting living men. Reluctantly, he decides to withdraw, and does so in a way that leaves Lucy no memory of Gregg’s “reality”, but rather a memory of an imaginary character that she dreamed and who then inspired the book. After Gregg disappears, Lucy begins to go out into society, and almost immediately meets George Sanders - an experienced cad with whom she falls in love, only to find that he is married with several children. The heartbroken Lucy retreats into solitude and decides that the only companionship she needs is her growing daughter, the loyal Martha, and the beloved house by the sea.

Years pass, and Lucy’s daughter grows up and becomes engaged to (naturally) a naval officer - when her daughter brings her fiance home, Lucy finds out that the little girl knew all about Captain Gregg and had frequent contact with him - something they both hid from Lucy. More years pass, and now it is Lucy’s granddaughter who is engaged to (naturally) a naval officer. Lucy and Martha have grown old together in the house, and, on a windswept night, the white-haired, tired Lucy passes quietly away in the great armchair in the Captain’s old room - he suddenly appears before her and holds out his hands, and she springs up, young and beautiful again, and the two pass silently out into the briny night, finally able to live out the love they could not share while one of them still walked among the living.

It sounds terribly soppy, but the script is of such high quality, the performances so note-perfect, the production so atmospheric, that the film never wanders into over-sentimentalization or saccharinity. Its gentle romanticism recalls a lost era (alas, even Britain no longer makes films like this!) and, once seen, leaves an indelible memory.

A five-star classic, and a must-have for fans of post-War British filmmaking of this genre.

A Great Collection For The Blu-Ray Owner
I have both the standard and blu-ray trilogy set and have to say I love all three movies yes there the standard zombie movies we’ve seen but being a resident evil fan I still say the are great. The blu-ray dvds are a vast improvement with the standard especially with the sound I was hearing more

background and noises and effects than I did with the regular dvds. The video was much sharper as well with the first two movies you can see that they are much clearer than before the third movie you really did not see to much of a difference except maybe for brighter colors and more sharper details in some scenes. The price I also see is starting to go down so

I say to all Resident Evil fans now is the time to get this great set

Very enjoyable in my opinion
If this movie could have hundreds of zombies running around who were played by real people, why couldn’t I Am Legend? This is a movie where CGI was used effectively and without butting into the main plot of the movie. I didn’t particularly care for the second in the series, but this one and the first “Resident Evil” were my cup of tea.

great but could have been a little better
I gave this movie four stars because a little lack in action and a little short but this movie was great. residentevil apocalypste was the best though, but i can’t wait until residentevil degeneration comes out but this movie was great the ending part when milla was faceing that big monster was hot to but great movie.

A Must Have For Resident Evil Fans
This is a good addition to your Resident Evil collection, and one that I do not regret buying. I would recommend this movie if this is your type of movies.

Lots of flash, little sense.
For a series of movies built off of a horror video game, Resident Evil has been an enjoyable ride.

Too bad this version has so many people who have supposedly survived for literally years in a world gone to hell making so many horribly bad life & death decisions.

Biggest gripe was with how the movie seemed to dumb down the returning characters to fit the “plot” they developed for this flick rather than raising the stakes to meet up with the characters they chose to revisit.

Poor L.J., not my favorite character, has my sympathy in this outing as yet another abused stereotype when he should have gotten the “heroic sacrifice” role that was given to Carlos.

I hate Pink Floyd, but I dig the movie
I have never liked Pink Floyd’s music- You know, maybe 2 or 3 songs, but otherwise I can’t stand them- However, this movie is really something special. It’s creative, and it’s mind boggling. I’d suggest picking it up just based on the fact of its trippy nature. Any fans of art/sci fi/sick stuff, will definitely enjoy this movie. So watch it.

A not too bad third telling of Pink Floyd’s magnum opus
The film version of Pink Floyd’s The Wall was released in August of 1982.

The movie did fairly well at the box office. It initially grossed $23 million which was alot of money back in 1982 considering it was competing against films like E.T., Rocky III and the first Poltergeist. I first saw the movie when my father rented this movie for me when I was 9 (I am not joking folks, this was in September, 1985 as I had been a fan for quite some time by then).

It is still a great film even today though some say too overdramatic. The screenplay was written by Floyd bass player/singer/lyricist Roger Waters amd the film was directed by Alan Parker (famed for the movies Midnight Express, The Committments and Evita) and starred Boomtown Rats frontman (and future Live Aid and Live 8 organizer) Bob Geldof in the leading role as Pink.

Originally, the film was to be footage of the band performing The Wall concerts at London’s Earls Court but was scrapped at Parker’s request (though this footage is available via bootleg in not bad quality).

The movie tells the story of Pink, a rock star whom had a traumatic life. His father died in WWII, had to contend with an overbearing mother, cruel sarcastic teachers, an unhappy marriage and a successful music career. One night after calling his wife and hearing she cheats on him, he invites a groupie into his hotel and loses it.

The character was based on part-Waters, part-Keith Moon, part-Syd Barrett and part fascism.

The film is noted for having the unreleased tracks When The Tigers Broke Free (parts 1 and 2), a new version of Mother, the studio version of What Shall We Do Now. Plus new versions of Another Brick in the Wall (part 3), Is There Anybody Out There?, Bring the Boys Back Home and Outside the Wall. Also, Bob Geldof does the vocals on both parts to In The Flesh (one with a brass band). The rest of the tracks were re-mixed and/or edited.

Gerald Scarfe’s animations in this film are the same as the ones shown at the original Wall concerts Pink Floyd performed in 1980 and 1981.

This DVD (which was re-released with new artwork to coincide with The Wall album’s 25th anniversary with a new slipcase cover and artwork) has bonuses of The Other Side of The Wall documentary as aired on MTV in 1982, the Another Brick 1980 video filmed to promote the album and aired on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert and Midnight Special, the theatrical trailer and various other surprises.

Highly recommended!

excellent
The Wall the movie sure was a strange experience! What is the movie exactly? It’s basically a bunch of scenes attached together that fit together with the music from the Pink Floyd album. In other words, while the music is playing from the Wall album, you can see the lyrics from the songs matched together with the scenes on the screen. Most of the scenes involve a little school boy who appears lost and confused when it comes to family and school.

My favorite scene is the same one MANY people who currently hate, or have hated in the past, the dreadfully LONG hours (and days) of going to school and learning. Man, it really stinks to be a kid and have to do the same old routine day in and day out as far as learning and classroom assignments are concerned. In the movie, you get to see what going to school is like through a childs eyes, and how boring it can be.

Also, another highlight of the film was all the incredibly diverse and creative animation that fit in well with the music. A colorful tale and vision that was beautiful in every sense. It almost looks like an amazing drug trip. You truly have to see it to know what I mean. Worth watching!

Better then I remember…
I first watched this video back in the mid-80’s and it became a staple of my VHS collection. After VCR’s went the way of the Dodo, so too went my Wall video. After rehashing my Floyd addiction, I purchased this DVD and am totally pleased. The special features are wonderful as they interview the producer, animation director and even Roger Waters himself! The packaging is great and it comes with a Wall poster that now decorates my bedroom wall. I highly recommend this DVD for any Floyd fan or anybody who likes to indulge themselves in a mind-bending trip into insanity!

Why Can’t They Make More Movies Like This?
This movie just seemed to be completely unbridled, as if the creators had no thought whatsoever about anything but the creation. It feels like pure imaginative force, and it’s really nice. Some people might use the term ’self-indulgent,’ and I would agree. And I love it. I felt deeply absorbed in this movie, in the main character’s mental illness. This movie is truly an immersive experience. If you’re sick of movies these days, watch this.

Great Deal, but….
I think the Godfater set was a great deal and am very satisfied. I was looking at the Sopranos’ complete set, those prices need some work…

DVD delivery
Fantastic!! It was fast. Properly boxed. Thank you very much for your wonderful service.

A Great DVD Set!!!!!
This is a great buy! You get all of the Godfather Movies on DVD and additional behind the scenes footage and commentaries. If you are a Godfather fan then this collectors set is for you. I was not disappointed with this purchase. I am very pleased with this collectors item. It exceeded my expectations.

Good price for a great collection.
I’ll make this short. For being older movies, these are classics. I had never had any interest and finally broke down and ordered this collection. The movies are amazing. Even if you are not into this type of genre, there is a high chance you will enjoy these anyway. The story is deep and entertaining, whoever you are.

My only complaint is the very very dark display for these movies. Tried it on several players and T.V.s. But at least thats a small complaint.

Good set for a great price.
I bought this dvd set for a friend and he absolutely loves it. He’s a film major and he said all the bonus material on the dvds are great extras he’s never seen before. What he doesn’t know is that this set can be purchased for an amazingly low price online to which I myself give a big thumbs up. The only complaint that most reviewers have is that the quality of the picture seems to be a bit low considering the new technology available for digital re-mastering. The film itself is relatively old and I myself thought the picture quality was good as it did not bother my friend nor me at all. At the moment I believe this is the only comprehensive dvd set available anyway, and at such a low price you’d be crazy not to buy it.
