Latest DVD Releases Films

I'm 25 years old and had only discovered Walk Away the Pounds/Walk at home this year. I just purchased the 5 mile DVD today and I ABSOLUTELY love it! It's not a whole lot confusing moves, not a lot of bouncing up and down with hard steps to follow, and I know some people complain about that, but for me, it's EXACTLY what I love! I don't want to be taught dancing, I just want to move, and that's what I get with this DVD. I also love how she breaks up the miles, it made it go by quicker! I can't wait for tomorrow to do it again!Get more detail about Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk.

THE MOVIE: 5/5
Terminator (or The Terminator, if you prefer) is and always will be an excellent movie. It expertly combines the two genres of science fiction and action. This movie was in my opinion James Cameron's break-through movie. After this, he made classic movies such as Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2, and of course, Titanic. Terminator truly is a modern classic. It's one of those relatively low budget movies that made it big. You don't need to take my word of it: other reviewers have given it 5 out of 5 stars.

THE DVD RELEASE VS THE BLU-RAY RELEASE
The first DVD release of Terminator was released in the late 1990s. Even though it was widescreen, unfortunately it was non-anamorphic, which can look terrible on a modern widescreen TV (as it only fills the center of the screen and leaves 4 black bars). The audio was the original mono soundtrack, with all its nostalgic 1980s sounding music and dialogue that sounds... somewhat low quality (which was commonplace for a sci-fi B-movie) It's definitely a nostalgic experience in sound.

Recently, I acquired the Blu-Ray of the Terminator. The picture quality was amazing compared to the first DVD. It was anamorphic widescreen and looks nice on a widescreen TV; however, it still isn't quite up to normal HD standards since it was shot on low-quality film. Still, it was a great video improvement. When I first watched it, the audio bugged me, and I didn't quite know why. It turned out that the Blu-Ray had used the 5.1 remix of the sound. It added new sound effects and made the dialogue sound normal. The audio sounded modern, completely different from the nostalgic B-movie sound. Now, call me funny, but I didn't like it. I missed the old, mono quality audio with the cheesy 1980s sound effects that had been replaced with regular, sounding audio and improved sound effects. In my opinion, it took away the warm B-movie feeling that the first DVD had. To top it all off, I found that the Blu-Ray didn't include the original mono soundtrack.

The average viewer might like the Blu-Ray as it looks modern and sounds technically better. Others, like me, might love that warm, 1980s nostalgic experience of the DVD. The choice is yours.Get more detail about The Terminator [Blu-ray].

Films that succeed beyond understanding in their brilliance are few and far between and there are many films that come pretty close. The Notebook is such a movie.

Ryan Gosling's acting in this movie is outstanding and is convincing as a period actor and someone who can hold your attention and emote real feelings. I was expecting most of the actors to have looks on their faces as if they just stepped out of the mall like in so many other modern films, whether they be period costume drama, or no.

The downfall of The Notebook was the abysmal score that not only seemed absent but improperly planted `hit' music along the way. I was blown away by how bad the music was in this film that I quickly realized that it was harming the viewing experience. The music in films like this is absolutely important and keeps the brain fully engaged at all the right moments so that those profound moments don't get lost in a `let down'. Ryan Gosling's speech to Rachel McAdams at the car towards the end about `Do me a favour, just picture your life forty years from now ...' is magnificent but is chopped at the knees by any real emotional pull that the music is supposed to deliver.

This is a minor point to some, but if you're a person, like me, who pays a great deal of attention to music in all films, it's not such a small thing by any means. Casablanca is burned into the minds of most of us because of `As Time Goes By', and it's just a fact. Nico Muhly's scoring on the more modern `The Reader', tells us that these ideas about music and film being deeply connected still hold true and should be respected.

Whoever was responsible for the score here, and according to IMDb it's someone named Aaron Zigman, I don't think I'd ever hire this person to work on any film, nor would I look forward to anything he's involved in either. You can also add Paul Broucek's name to that list as he was the Producer that gave the go ahead for these decisions. Just absolutely depressing without doubt. How sad.

Minus two for the lack of musical direction. Brilliant writing and fine acting.

Interview With the Vampire is a great vampire film. It is based on the Anne Rice novel of the same title.It begins in modern day San Francisco when a reporter interviews a man who claims to be a vampire. Then the vampire begins to tell his story. Overall the film has a great plot I will not venture further into it for those who have not seen it. I would rate the film a 4.5/5 the picture quality 4/5 and audio a 4/5 overall this is a great purchase especially considering how great of a price it is at you can't go wrong.Get more detail about Interview with the Vampire.

First, this movie does a great job of displaying the hard truth about how desperate women are, and that sometimes a guy just isn't interested. That might be hard for some to swallow, but some people need to learn that. The movie has an all-star cast, but only a few deliver. I thought that Jennifer Aniston and the guy from the Mac commercials did a good job. However, this movie was just not funny at all. And they could really make a funny movie out of this topic. It was a big missed oppourtunity. I did not smile, laugh or chuckle at all during the entire movie. Also, it was WAY too long. It felt very dragged out and I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. I can't see how this a romantic comedy. It was more of a drama. Overall this movie was boring and wasn't funny at all. I was dissapointed and would not reccomend it. Get more detail about He's Just Not That Into You.

It seems to be standard procedure for fans to label season four of The Office the "worst" of the series (so far). Many state that this is because of the strike shortened season, and because of the number of hour long episodes, which work against the show's great pacing. I personally did find season four to be disappointing at times, and some episode seemed to come out of nowhere ("Did I Stutter?") and some major moments had no build up ("Goodbye, Toby" - I would've loved to see a scene where Toby tells Michael in his office that he's leaving) which kind of ruined the feel.

There are some classic episodes here however (most notably "Dinner Party") that bring the season back from some "okay" outings. The thing with The Office though is that even its "bad" episodes have some absolutely phenomenal writing and some terrific moments. Few shows have the ability to have greatness mixed in with some standard muck, but The Office has it.

The box set is short on special features. This disappointed me greatly. I thought, "maybe they'll load up on special features since there's only 14 episodes" but I was terribly wrong. Only four commentaries are here. Really? Four? Was everyone extremely busy? Maybe the writer's strike had something to do with this... I have no idea, but either way I was let down here.

The deleted scenes were great again, as was the blooper reel, but there's really nothing else to sink into. The "Writer's Block" discussion was pretty good, clocking in at 30 minutes and it offered some interesting tidbits about the show and whatnot, but I don't think a lot of people want to sit at home and watch people talk behind a table, but that's what we get. The rest of the special features are extremely short or seem to just be added to make it seem like there's a lot here to digest. The Rabies feature wasn't even two minutes! Overall the special features, weren't very special (zing!).

Season four certainly dropped the ball quite a bit from season three, but obviously that should mainly be blamed on the writer's strike. But still, starting the season off with four one-long episodes I think was a bad choice. It works against the show for the most part.

The packaging is the same as previous seasons. My two complaints here is how plain the packaging looks. There are still some pictures of the season, but the rest of the art layout is just "bleh" and very "serious" looking. My other complaint is the extremely cheesy (and useless) "Dinner Party" table draft that comes with the box set. Why? Because it comes packaged IN the slip cover case. Which means if you lose it, the slip cover case doesn't fit and is too big for the fold out disc set. Why couldn't they just put this behind the slip cover so I can throw it away? Granted, I keep my collections neat and orderly, not everyone does, and many people will lose this "extra" they gave us.

The producers of this show specifically say that they want the show to appeal more to women, so they took out the action fighting scenes and put in more drama. Okay, I really like the story line of Battlestar Gallactica, so not a problem. But the club scene? How exactly is that going to attract women? Lots of topless women; Group sex; drugs; virgin sacrifices; Pornography at its best.

If the producers had enough guts to actually rate this movie, it would be NC-17. But they also admit that this was not the version they showed on TV, so why not release two version. One of this NR / NC-17 and one for TV viewing.

If this is the tone of the series, I will not watch it unless I can obtain a modified / cleaned up version. The storyline may be good, but I am not going to sit through an NC-17 TV show, nor expose my family to it.

Note to Battlestar Gallactica producers - the main reason why Battlestar Gallactica was a success is that it required thinking. Your target audience, Sci-Fi geeks (men and women) like a show that have intelligence; shows that have more than a single episode story line; shows that have a puzzle to solve -- not just a "who shot JR"? Yes, it makes it more difficult for people to flip to the show and get into the show without getting lost, but it also makes the show worth watching. That is HuLu and Amazon downloads are for.

It's almost Christmas, and I am one of those people who gets into the mood early. So when I found this one, starring Kate Winslet (whom I adore), I thought, can't go wrong, right?
Wrong.
Iris Sempkins (Kate Winslet) of Surrey has been pining after Jasper for three years. Her life goes into an uproar when he suddenly reveals he is engaged. Meanwhile, in LA, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) breaks up with her boyfriend (Edward Burns) when she finds out he was cheating with his receptionist. On a whim, she decides to house exchange with Iris over the Christmas holiday. While on Holiday, Amanda meets Graham, Iris' hot older brother (Jude Law). In LA, Iris meets Miles, Amanda's ex-boyfriend's friend (Jack Black). And the rest, as you might say, is history.
Kate Winslet and Jack Black's sidestory is absolutely adorable. It is muted, it is subtle, it is cute, it is everything you would want in a romantic comedy. They had real chemistry together, and I was definitely rooting for them to get together in the end.
I also adored the story with Iris and the screenwriter. Very sweet and makes you realize that relationships are more than just between lovers, family members, you get the picture.
And, I know it's petty, but I loved the Dustin Hoffman cameo. Funny!
But the majority of the story centers around the "love" (AKA "lust") between Amanda and Graham. First off, while I liked Amanda's beginning (how she kicked out her boyfriend), I thought her story increasingly became boring and stupid, particularly right around Graham's "drunken" entrance. I really hated Hollywood's "Well, you're drunk, I don't know you, so I think we should have sex" mentality. WTF? Who does this sort of irresponsible thing? Maybe a teenager, maybe a college student, but a successful movie producer? And a widower?! With two young daughters? Doesn't at least Graham realize that love doesn't abound from a one night stand with a drunk stranger? I don't see how Hollywood thinks they can pull this horrible coupling off without making the rest of the world raise their eyebrows in skepticism.
Not to mention, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz have no chemistry with each other. It's all physical. Jude Law is a hunk; Cameron Diaz sexy. There is nothing else between the two of them, and yet most of the movie centers on them and their falling in lust. Boring!
In fact, the movie bored me so much (well, at least the parts that Kate Winslet and Jack Black weren't in) that I brought out my computer to surf the net at the same time. I almost never do that.
My advice? If you like Kate Winslet and Jack Black, I would watch their scenes and skip over everything else. You'll thank me for it in the end.

This DVD offers lots of great options. The beginning sequences are gentle stretches that teach beginners how to breathe, how to engage the muscles, how to align the body, and just generally how to move into poses. The stretches feel so good that I was hooked as soon as I tried them.
The advanced routines are challenging (at least they are for me, and I'm an absolute beginner). They're challenging enough that I feel like I'm working but not so much that I feel like I can't follow.

surprisingly, this was a very good movie.I had never heard of it until I was surfing through a list of blu ray movies and came upon it. I decided to see a trailer to see what it was about and afterwards gave the movie a chance. I'm not a big fan of subtitle movies but watching this movie was worth it. Yes it is packed with action,fighting, blood and death but it is also about one man who never quits no matter how many times he is beaten down by everything around him. He still forgives and does what he has to for the respect, honor and loyalty of his people and his one true love. Get more detail about Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan [Blu-ray].

I recently had twins so my days are busy. I wanted to get back into exercising but I didn't have time to get to the gym. I love this DVD for a couple reasons. They are split up into 5 ten minute workouts. I don't have a straight 50 minutes but I can find several 10 minute breaks throughout the day. I also like that the first time I did the DVD I felt the burn. It gives easier examples to start out with but provides harder exercises if you're experienced. You don't need a ton of additional equipment and it includes a lot of stretching. It's a complete strength workout for me and I push the double stroller around the neighborhood for cardio. I would recommend this DVD for anyone and especially for new moms. It's fabulous!Get more detail about Exhale: Core Fusion Body Sculpt.

When you get Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, and Morgan Freeman in one film you know you are in for a treat. This movie does not disappoint. Each of the actors does a superb job in each of his characters giving each incredible depth. Even Richard Harris' character is important even though he is only in a few scenes. Each of the characters both have their good traits and their evil ones. Eastwood and Freeman play reformed gunfighters turned farmers out to get one more bounty. The internal turmoil and conflict of going back to their old ways is played well by both. How violence has worn on each plays a central roll in the film. Hackman's character is the extreme law and order man who wants to control everything that goes on his town and will go to very violent means to make sure that he does.

Although this film is extremely violent in places, unlike a lot of other films it does an excellent job of showing the results of that violence on the perpetrators of that violence. They don't just walk away at ease with themselves.

The features on the blu-ray are pretty good but very dated. There is the behind the scenes feature, the interviews with the major actors, the voice over commentary, as well as a retrospective of Clint Eastwood's career up to that point. And that's the main drawback to the extras, they weren't updated for the blu-ray so they are about 15 years old. Not that big of deal for me, but something that someone might want to know.

I really have to wonder how much of this show feeds off the "reality" of Hollywood. Ideas for storylines (I think I overhead a commentary about basing Vincent driving around to see lines for AQUAMAN on Tobey Maguire driving around to see lines for SPIDERMAN), guest appearances lampooning real stars--the fact that Jamie Lynn Singler is actually dating the actor who plays Turtle who's dating Jamie Lynn Singler is perhaps the bizarrest moment in all of this!

You laugh at a scene and wonder: did they base this on someone real? Who was that difficult German director? Are all studio heads this vindictive?

I liked this season because Vincent Chase is finally being challenged by the very business that's handed him the world. It's all been so easy up to now. Whether making millions of dollars or losing millions of dollars, Vincent has always just shrugged his shoulders, ready to go back to New York City when the party ends. ENTOURAGE is smart enough to know that was never the real option behind this superstar. It's good to see some ambition with him.

But the person I really watch this show for is Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold. He's been my clear favorite for all five seasons. And for all his obscene bluster and crazy energy...he's really a decent guy. He looks out for his family, he works hard for his clients. Even at war, he's difficult to hate when he's not on your side. As long as they don't soften him too much, I'll always come back to see more of Ari's antics.Get more detail about Entourage: The Complete Fifth Season.

Way Out West. Go West. My Little Chickadee. The Paleface. Cat Ballou. Western comedies have been done before...but NEVER like this! Some 30-odd years later, Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" still retains its impact, and its unapologetic political incorrectness. Brooks had told all his writers to "go for broke; anything outrageous gets thrown in!" And the movie sure looks it. BS does have an "everything but the kitchen sink" quality to it. Like "Young Frankenstein", which is gentler but just as kooky, BS aims scattershot at all kinds of satire, old & new, and scores time & again. Tucked in between the belly laughs are messages about corruption, greed & racism...but the comedy still rules, especially when you have a campfire bean-eating scene where cowboys are passing gas in turn. And like YF, BS has so many outrageously funny moments that you need a score card. Brooks gives himself dual roles as a Yiddish-speaking Indian chief, and as the misguided cross-eyed Governor LePetemaine. There are dozens of sharp, funny performances in the movie: From the gawdy heroics of Cleavon Little & Gene Wilder to the snivelling villainy of Harvey Korman to Madeline Kahn's "Destry Rides Again" spoof of Marlene Dietrich...well, even the supporting players are terrific.

I think this series has "outrageously" outraged its own self as a full out no-holds-barred parody. Now Nancy Botwin and family move to a borderland seaside town near San Diego. She seeks out her father-in-law, who is of course a gambling ner-do-well, played sardonically by Albert Brooks. He quickly moves out of the story, Nancy has a hot affair w/ a Mexican dictator/gangster, one son gets an older lover who sells pot in her once unpopular cheese shop that refused to sell hoagies, the other son is the schoolyard stud. And Andy, I guess the writer's gave up on him. Exausted and bored, me too!

I thought that the V was so phenomenal when it aired as my family and I watched it relentlessly in the ... 80s, was it?

Well, seeing it recently just let me know how far we've come in technology! Remember the Atari? The Nintendo ORIGINAL console? It was nostalgic to say the least.

The reason I said that the series was just `OK' was because it started off with a pasty, unrealistic special effects fight between Diana and Mike - the leader of the V and the leader of the Resistance. I had not seen the first and second miniseries in over 20 years and so I was thrown off by the shoddy special effects that were unprecedented during the time they aired. I was only thrown off because I had not seen what led up to the beginning of the series. I have watched the original series on the SciFi channel since and have become more excited about finishing the TV series once I have completed the miniseries. In short, I have not yet seen the entire TV series - I stopped the DVD after about 2 minutes of watching it. Once I have, I'll re-write this review.

For now, I'll just tell you don't buy this set unless you have watched both V - The Original TV Miniseries, and V - The Final Battle. If you do, it will be a complete and total turn off.

Thanks for reading this review!

After the Letter Factory, this is the best movie for beginning readers! It teaches kids to sound out three letter words, rhyme, and combine sounds. My 4 year old son is reading signs as we drive around town because this movie taught him to sound out words. I absolutely love it and recommend it to anyone who wants to help their kids read!Get more detail about LeapFrog - Talking Words Factory.

Live-action wise (the animated films having always retained a mature nature since 1992), this is the best take on Batman since Burton's two. Batman's origin's are explored and some of his training is delved into. Christian Bale makes for a good Batman, the voice that he uses for the character doesn't get on my nerves as most people would think but my main complaint are, like others, is the action sequences. There are too many fast cuts and the action is just barely indistinguishable. Michael Caine is the best Alfred, Michael Gough from the previous four hardly being in them until Batman & Robin, and that was only because he was dying. Caine's version is much more involved with Bruce and cares about him, a noted scene being when he's driving a poisoned Batman home. You can tell that he's deeply worried about him. Katie Holmes. How to describe her. Well she's more believable as a DA than Denise Richards was a physicist but she doesn't really convey any emotions (much like Lois Chiles and Barbara Bach from the Bond films). And her inexplicable interest in wanting to know Batman's name seems almost forced in my opinion. I know he saved her life, twice, but she's never really given any inclanation to really find out who he is. Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy are perfect as Ra's al Ghul (Ra'Z al Ghul is not his name) and the Scarecrow respectively. My main problem with the villains, Scarecrow imparticular, is that they look nothing like their comic book counterparts. I know Nolan wants to keep a "realistic" look to the films but I wish he were a little more faithful to how they looked in the comics. The plot is very good, with plenty of twists and turns to keep a new viewer on their toes. Lastly, James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer's score is quite good but their heroic theme is quite forgettable when compared to Danny Elfman's, but definitely a step up from that atrocious Elliot Goldenthal.Get more detail about Batman Begins [Blu-ray].

Anyone interested in learning more about the Civil War than what we're taught in school couldn't do better than watching this film.

All the Ken Burns films I've seen are beautifully done, and as entertaining as they are informative. This is no exception.

I saw this originaly on the History Channel, bought the set on vhs, and now have this wonderful dvd set. Each time I watch it I find it as fascinating as I did the first time.

It's done with knowledgable historians like Shelby Foote whose warmth, humor & effusiveness make it a story not just a lesson, and with actors giving voices to those who were there at this terrible time in our history.

We're offered the chance to learn not only about the military & human aspects, but artfully giving us a chance to understand & feel for and with these people. A "You Are There" experience.

Very highest recommendation!

I bought this collection a year or so ago and gave it to my nephew. I noticed that he had put season 9 & 10 on a gift list of his recently and asked why he did that as he had the whole collection. He stated that the set only contained half of season 9 and none of season 10. I asked him why he didn't tell me this earlier, and well, he simply was too polite to let me know this. Too bad. I could have returned this if I had been notified earlier. The point--if you buy this check it immediately to see you have all the seasons. If you give as a gift--ask the person to open as soon as possible upon receipt and do the checking.Get more detail about Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series Collection.

I find the premise unbelievable but well thought out, if you can accept an alternatereality with different biology and physical rules then the story seems to follow through. I enjoy this program more than others based on novels that I have read probably because I don't have expectations that the director can not meet.Get more detail about Sanctuary: The Complete First Season.

Fireproof may not be exacting, resplendent, or noteworthy by Hollywood standards, but the story is compelling and the actors seem real. A firefighter, as the lead character, is very symbolic for he pulls people to safety while his marriage desperately needs rescue. The story unfolds when he discovers the biblical solutions to bringing consideration, patience, and passion back to his marriage. The is Christian and dominantly bible-based. I really enjoyed this flick and recommend it to all those who are married and those who desire to marry some day.Get more detail about Fireproof.

It never said that it was a wide screen format. I was looking for one that was not and so was surprised when I got it. I think it should note all details in the front. I did not want the trouble to send it back and so did not. I feel I was tricked.

I searched and found this wonderful movie on DVD. This is a story of life, love lost and in the possibilities that life and a touch of magic,could bring a new future. The DVD arrived in excellent condition, although I don't like the type of case it came in, but that does not take away from the wonderful and wistful feeling that the movie leaves inside me after I watch it.

Interview With the Vampire is a great vampire film. It is based on the Anne Rice novel of the same title.It begins in modern day San Francisco when a reporter interviews a man who claims to be a vampire. Then the vampire begins to tell his story. Overall the film has a great plot I will not venture further into it for those who have not seen it. I would rate the film a 4.5/5 the picture quality 4/5 and audio a 4/5 overall this is a great purchase especially considering how great of a price it is at you can't go wrong.Get more detail about Interview with the Vampire [Blu-ray].

I really enjoyed this movie, even though it was difficult at some points to really immerse myself into the story because the acting of Hmong kids was not convincing...I am referring to Sue and Thao....would have been a perfect 5 stars if the acting was good. :-(

Aside from that a very entertaining movie with a lot of expletives and racist comments, but all the same very humorous.

Would recommend to those not offended by off color, racey (and I do mean RACEy) humor.Get more detail about Gran Torino (Widescreen Edition).

2001 is a classic film that is truly amazing at it's best!!

Stanley Kubrick knows how to make a great and interesting film that is also colorful, yet it still steers right onto the path of realism and fantasy.

I recently purchased 2001 on Blu Ray and I will say that the picture quality is amazing and the colors are even better than ever!!

It's truly a classic that deserves to be watched again and again!!



5 stars for blu ray quality!!

There is not much I can add other than just to join my voice to the choir singing the praises of these perennial specials. It just wouldn't seem like the Holidays without Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang!

What I really appreciate about this "Peanuts Holiday Collection" is the large amount of language/subtitle options. Too many US DVDs offer at most French/Spanish/English, and there are a lot of other languages spoken in the world. This box set has language options for English, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese, and subtitles options for English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Thai.

My wife and many of my friends are Japanese, and it was a real treat to be able to share this bit of Americana with them!

Adding extensive subtitle tracks is something few DVD producers bother with, even though they take up little space on the DVD and could easily be added. The subtitle tracks already exist in those countries, so it is a simple matter of licensing them and adding them to the DVD. It is probably just a cost/benefit situation, which is understandable, but having those subtitle tracks makes all the difference in the world for non-native English speakers.

Thanks Peanuts! Way to go!
