Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (Import All Regions)

Outstanding Video Quality.
As both the Criterion and earlier Anchor Bay releases of Hitchcock's "Rebecca" are out-of-print and very exspensive to purchase as used, I decided to try this Korean import. Turns out to be excellent and appears to come from the Criterion source! It even has their ...

The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset

Eric Idle, Carol Cleveland

A&E Home Video, 2005

And now for something completely brilliant!
I must confess, I've been a Python fan since the early Seventies. When I was in High School, memorizing their sketches was a rite of passage. So when A&E released the 16-Ton Megaset, it was a gift from the gods. And I am so happy that the list price has come down to ...

Zodiac - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)

Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal

Paramount, 2008

Utterly Absorbing
"Zodiac" is fascinating. It pulls you into a labyrinth of detail and doesn't let you go for two and a half hours, as a host of interesting characters try to unravel a mystery that remains officially raveled to this day. A great cast (including Phillip Baker Hall, who ...

The Case for Christ

Lee Strobel

Lionsgate Ent., 2007

Investigating the claims of Christ
This DVD is just over an hour of entry-level apologetics (defense of the faith). If you were looking into the claims of Christ, this would be a great start. Lee Strobel was a former journalist for the Chicago Tribune that clamed atheism. Once his wife became a ...

The Case for a Creator

Lee Strobel

Illustra Media, 2006

Case solved
Although I would have liked it to be longer, the DVD is excellent in how it presents scientific evidence of a Creator. Anyone who has questioned whether God exists or believes science has disproved God should see this. EVERYONE should see it. AND, buy the book too!

Return to Oz

Fairuza Balk, Nicol Williamson

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2004

the best way to travel down the Yellow Brick Road
As a fan of Baum's original works, this has always been my most favorite film version of his world. And as a child of the 1980s, this film has always had nostalgic appeal. Yes, the film scared me as a child. But that very darkness, mixed with the light fairy tale ...

Psych - The Complete Second Season

James Roday, Dule Hill

Universal Studios, 2008

The Greatest Show in the History of Basic Cable!
I love Psych with a burning passion that only an '80's-grooving-pineapple-loving-silly-moniker-spewing-psychic-detective-wanna-be could. James Roday and Dule Hill's chemistry is superb! The writers all deserve a trophy case full of awards... hey, does anyone have a ...

Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection (Lifeboat / Spellbound / Notorious / The Paradine Case / Sabotage / ...

Cary Grant, Claude Rains

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Collection of Hitchcock films largely unavailable
With hours of all-new special features including audio commentaries, featurettes, screen tests, still galleries, vintage radio interviews, an AFI Tribute to Hitchcock and more, the DVD collection also includes a 32-page notebook with trivia, and production notes. ...

Ladyhawke

Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer

Warner Home Video, 1997

True Love can't be chained
I cry everytime I watch this movie. I'm not much for the romantic boo-hoo films, but this one is an exception. It is heartbreaking to see what these two sacrifice just to be near each other. True Love is one of the most exhilarating and wonderful feelings you could ...

Damn Yankees

Tab Hunter, Gwen Verdon

Warner Home Video, 2004

Damn good
An oldie but goodie, Ray Walston at his best years before Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Gwen Verdon when hot was more than cosmetic. Very good transition from stage to film. Excellent story.

The Elephant Man

John Hurt, Anthony Hopkins

Paramount, 2001

Pure and honest; a film that will never leave you...
It's hard for me to formulate with mere words the impact this film has had on me. `The Elephant Man' is so much more than a weepy drama about injustice, but in the end it becomes an overwhelming testament to the rarity of genuine kindness, and this is what serves as ...

Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan: Cesar's Toughest Cases

Dog Whisperer

Universal Studios, 2007

I wished my dog could see this
Sorry guys, I'm writing from Germany, so my English is not that good. What I had seen was really exciting, fresh and new and helped me to understand my dog (Mr. Schroeder, one eyed, handycapped Pug-Mix) much better. Now I am working harder to help this little dog to ...

A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Jack Angel, Keith Campbell

Dreamworks Video, 2002

AMAZING - literally(...)
This film is sort of an adventure film with a fairy tale mixed into it. It was quite interestingly told, not AMAZING exactly, but somehow keeping my attention; the last half hour of this film, though, was just AMAZING! It was emotionally charged, filled with THE MOST ...

Cold Case Files - The Most Infamous Cases

Cold Case Files

A&E Home Video, 2005

GREAT
I love this show, and this DVD was amazing. It was great having over eight different cold cases to view. It's amazing how these are real things that happened, and how people that sick are actually out there; what's even better is how most of them are finally caught. ...

Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Videos (Keep Case)

Guns N' Roses

Geffen Records, 2003

Sweet Group O' Mine
This is an absolute must for any Guns N' Roses fan! It is a fantastic collection of almost all of their popular videos from 1987 on. The line up includes the following songs: Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, Patience, Don't Cry, Live and Let ...
