Having viewed both this set and the blu-ray collection, I can honestly say this is the set to buy. The blu-ray collection is very nice and looks good but the older films (especially the first) just dont look any better in blu-ray. It actually looks more grainy on the blu-ray than the traditional dvd. However, the 4th film looks spectacular in blu-ray but that is the only one I would say is worth the extra cash. This set costs about half of the blu-ray edition and includes more extra features than any Die Hard fan could want. Each movie comes with a bonus disc chalk full of commentaries, documentaries, and behind the scenes footage. I found the audio and video of these dvds to be mastered very well considering the 1st film is 20 years old. The only issue i noticed was slight edge enhancement on certain scenes in the first 3 movies, but hardly distracting. So do yourself a favor, save the cash and buy a set that is just about as good. You wont be disappointed.

This is by far one of the best series of action movies you will ever see. Bruce Willis and the rest the casts of each movie made them believeable and the writing, directing, camera work, sound, and music were great. It is not surprising everyone knows at least one movie in this set and there is hardly a person on the planet not familiar with the name of a fictional cop John McClane and his famous quotes while being in the right place at the wrong time.

Synopsis:

In the first movie McClane, a New York City cop, goes to LA to visit his wife that has moved there with their kids because she was offered an exceptional position. While flying out another passenger tells John that the best way to relax after a long flight is to take off shoes and socks and curl your toes in the carpet. Unfortunately John must try to rescue everyone at the building when terrorist take over to steal bonds and he runs around barefoot the whole movie through broken glass.

During the second film McClane encounters terrorists at Dulles Airport in Washington DC trying to rescue a military prisoner by taking over the tower controls to the planes. This time he must fight them while barely clothed in frigid weather.

In the third movie McClane has drawn the attention of the brother of the head terrorist in the first movie that is also intent on bombing people as a cover up to a gold heist. He demands McClane do some Simple Simon tricks. McClane is brought in from his suspension with a bad hangover and headache and has to stand in Harlem in his underwear with a deragatory sign to blacks when he gets the assistance of a racist shop owner played by Samuel Jackson. Jackson helps him track down the terrorists and the two make a great comical pair.

In the fourth movie McClane finds out the terrorist control several government agencies and the utilities through the internet so they can rob them. While picking up a hacker, played by Justin Long, for the FBI they are both nearly killed and he enlists the aid of Long to track down the terrorists.

Although I had the individual movies I couldn’t pass on this set after reading the review by “The Game”. I wanted a set anyway and it looks like this is a great one for a super price. One other thing. I couldn’t tell from the ad, but this is four thin DVD cases in a cardboard box so it takes less than half the shelf space of the four full size cases. This set includes an extra disc for each movie dedicated to extras. One of the best when it comes to all the background on the movies and then an exceptional price for all this material. The quality was just as indicated, very sharp and clear. I am very happy with this set. Excellent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch “Lethal Weapon” and “Unbreakable”.

These are dark psychological films that examine seemingly normal people in the most unusual circumstances, from a vacation of sexual awakening to the choices that individuals made during WWII.

I was utterly rivetted by all three of these films when I saw them. Murmur of the Heart is about a boy and his mother, who have gone on vacation alone in the South of France. He is an intelligent if callow mama’s boy and his mother, who is an extraordinary though aging beauty, is seeking something she can never quite grasp in her many extra-marital affairs. There is an aching sexual tension between them, a source of the kinds of secrets that take years to resolve on a psychiatrst’s couch. It is a genuine masterpiece sure to generate controversy.

Lacombe Lucian is about a chamelion-like man who becomes a collaborator after being rejected by the French resistence (I reveal nothing here). It is about how sleaze, in the wrong circumstances, can flower into the greatest evil. Though it is the weakest of the bunch, it is still a 5-star piece of work.

Buy,Download, Or Stream 3 Films by Louis Malle! Click Here

The third film, Au Revoir les Enfants, is a poignant film about a friendship that grows across a cultural divide, jew v. catholic. The setting is a boarding school during the war, and the jewish boy is a fugitive from the German occupiers, who would send him to a concentration camp in an instant. Slowly, we watch the tension and fear grow, along with the love between the two boys, one of whom is playing with power in the most childish ways. I wept at the end of the film.

If anything could convince us capitalists (and I am one) that the “market” (i.e. Hollywood) does not always result in “optimal” results (i.e. what sells in mass distribution is “best”), we should watch these films: they are from a protected market and would never have been made by a machine such as Hollywood; they are lower budget, and do not asire to be blockbusters. Yet their quality is so high that they are a gift to art of the ages and will live on as some of the finest fictional work of the 20C in my humble opinion.

Warmly recommended.

I wrote a review of this release earlier, but it seems to have disappeared. Fortunately, these wonderful films have not. They’ve been among my favorites of all time for decades. “Murmur” is probably the best “coming of age” film ever made. It has everything from philosophical angst in the midst of petty shoplifting to, well, something no other “coming of age” film has. But despite the controversial nature of that part of the movie, this film was something of a sensation even when it played in the Midwest in the early ’70s. It’s funny as hell, but it is also very wise and in the best traditions of French films about life and love, including particularly family life. It will have you laughing and crying.

I don’t think “Lucien” ever made it to VHS. It’s also “coming of age” but in a different way. It’s especially timely in these days of young kids getting caught up in military service

that they do not completely understand. Like “Au Revoir”, it’s set in the WWII period, whereas “Murmur” is set in the ’50s.

“Au Revoir” is another great film with a different “coming of age” theme, like “Murmur” involving friendship and family and like “Lucien”, also about choices. This is one of the most beautiful movies about friendship ever made. There are several scenes that will have you transfixed, including some, like the Charlie Chaplin excerpts, that are included in extras.

I haven’t seen the extras yet, but as soon as I heard about this release, I pre-ordered it. These are sensational stories and unforgettable characters. Malle made a lot of films, but these are his best by far, and most of the critics, including the crankiest, agree that they have stood the test of time and are now classics of the cinema.

I waited back in the ’80s to get these movies on VHS. I was pleased to give my VHS copies of “Murmur” and “Au Revoir”

to a friend as soon as I got my DVD set.

Season 5 features guest stars Bill Maher, Joan Collins, Tim Curry, Lorreta Lynn, Red Buttons, Sara Rue, Morgan Fairchild, Ed Begley Jr, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I agree with the earlier review about the abrupt changes over the years on the show. But they did mention Roseanne’s fathers abuse in the fourth season episode “This Old House” Roseanne and Jackie went to the house they grew up in before it was torn down and were discussing the things that went on during childhood. Roseanne pointed to the wall and said to Jackie “Remember what was hanging there?” Referring to the belt they were hit with. Roseanne also referred to her dad as a lunatic in the Tornado episode from the 1st season when Jackie said he used to get them all in the car during a storm and chase it. They changed the character of Dan’s mother also. I think in the second season Dan’s mother comes to Thanksgiving with her boyfriend and seemed like a perfectly normal woman and in a later season she had mental problems and was put in a hospital. Then Debbie Reynolds played her as a psycho. David’s name started as Kevin. They might have cleared that up in a later episode though. And of course the two Beckys. All in all Roseanne was a great show and I am thrilled that they are bringing them out on DVD so quickly. I gave only 4 stars because I felt the 2nd 3rd and 4th seasons were the best, although I absolutely love the episode on this one where the power is turned off. That has some of the biggest laughs of the entire series. I would place Roseanne in my top 5 series of all time. Even the lesser episodes are better than most things on TV. If anybody does read this, could you let me know if the Roseanne 1st season DVD is uncut? I have only watched a couple of the episodes and it seems like exactly what is on Nick at Nite. I always love getting the scenes that they have cut out over the years. Thanks for listening.

I scouted around on Anchor Bay Entertainment’s website to see what I could find out about this set. When I enlarge the photo of the Xena Warrior Princess – Season Three disc set, the box says: Deluxe Collector’s Edition; Digitally Mastered * 5.1 Surround Sound * 9 Disc Set. Here are the scheduled extras:

* Interviews with the Actresses/Actors, Producers, Editors, Writers, and Set Designers: Donald Duncan, Robert Gillies, Lucy Lawless, Hudson Leick, Renee O’Connor, Ted Raimi; Oley Sassone, Steven L. Sears, R.J. Stewart, Alexandra Tydings

* Blooper Reel
* CD-ROM with Actor, Director & Writer Bios, Series Trivia, Xena Chronicles, Original Production Designs & Sketches, and Director’s Notes & Storyboards

As has already been said by several reviewers, Season Three was a great season. The last episode of the season was a real cliff-hanger. I couldn’t believe which character was killed! Here’s an episode guide, with a tiny description:

The Furies: Xena is punished for not avenging her father’s death.
Been There, Done That: Joxer is killed.
The Dirty Half Dozen: Ares and his army possess armor and weapons that mortal weapons can’t harm.
The Deliverer: Gabrielle is tricked into taking the life of an innocent.
Gabrielle’s Hope: Gabrielle gives birth to a baby girl.
The Debt (1): Xena is summoned to kill the Green Dragon.
The Debt (2): Xena is imprisoned by the Green Dragon.
The King of Assassins: Jett, Joxer’s lookalike brother, plots to kill Queen Cleopatra.
Warrior… Priestess… Tramp: Xena and Gabrielle meet a Xena-lookalike.
The Quill Is Mightier: Aphrodite casts a spell on Gabrielle’s scroll

Maternal Instincts: Gabrielle’s daughter tries to break up Gabrielle’s and Xena’s friendship.
The Bitter Suite: Xena and Gabrielle wake up in Illusia.
One Against An Army: Xena battles the Persian army alone.
Forgiven: A young girl wants to be Xena’s partner.
King Con: Joxer is severely beaten.
When In Rome…: Xena gets involved with Roman politics
Forget Me Not: Gabrielle visits Mnemosyne’s temple.
Fins, Femmes and Gems: Aphrodite casts spells on Xena, Gabrielle, and Joxer

Tsunami: A tsunami strikes a ship that Xena and Gabrielle are on.
Vanishing Act: Xena, Gabrielle, Autolycus work to recover a statue
Sacrifice (1): Seraphin wants to sacrifice herself to bring back a goddess
Sacrifice (2): Xena and Gabrielle want to stop Gabrielle’s evil daughter.

This is my 2nd favorite season of the six; I couldn’t love this show more…Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) completely outdo themselves this season; Everything is an emotional rollercoaster, the episodes are surging with tearjerking revelations, rolling on the floor humor, illuminating the bonds of love and the power of brutal consequences, the triumpths of conquest, the soul-grinding pain of loss and betrayl, the hope to overcome…

You WILL NOT be disappointed! Not a chance!!

3rd SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
The Furies
Ares enlists the aid of the Furies, who declare that the Warrior Princess has committed a terrible crime. Gabrielle investigates, and discovers that Xena had failed to avenge the murder of her father. That’s news to Xena: she didn’t know that her father had been murdered, much less the identity of the killer.

Been There, Done That
Xena realizes her day is repeating itself so she can break a cycle of death that hinges on two lovers’ warring families.

Gabrielle’s Hope
Gabrielle and Xena learn about the upcoming birth of evil Dahak’s “daughter of darkness” which hits VERY close to home.

The Debt, Part I: Betrayal
As Xena and Gabrielle travel toward the Eastern kingdom of Chin, Xena recalls a kidnapping episode from her dark past involving two rival Chin clans.

The Debt, Part II
Flashbacks recall Xena’s transformaton from evil to good. But in the present, the Green Dragon has captured Xena thanks to an unlikely betrayer.

The Bitter Suite
Xena and Gabrielle are bound by hatred in a dreamworld, where they must sing to be understood. Fans still go crazy for this episode…

One Against an Army
Xena must hold off an entire Persian army single-handed-and also tend to Gabrielle, who’s been struck by a poison arrow. A fine tearjerker!

Forget Me Not
Gabrielle decides to lose her painful memories in the river of dreams but Joxer doesn’t want her to do so because he thinks she will forget about him. (A clip show.)

Sacrifice (part II)
Evil Hope takes the form of her mother and joins forces with Ares to create a race of superbeings; Xena is forced to team up with Callisto (the beautiful Hudson Leick)

I was ambivalent about buying this one. I had already plunked down more than a … on the first release of the collection, then systematically rounded it out with the other films that were available (Killer’s Kiss, The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, and Eyes Wide Shut). I was not sure if it was really worth shelling out MORE money just to get brighter colors and stereo sound. But it was. It was worth every penny. For the following reasons:

1) You really have to SEE the added quality of films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Barry Lyndon to believe it. Every film was digitally re-mastered. It really is like someone wiped years of grime off of them.

2) Making the Shining, daughter Vivian Kubrick’s documentary about the making of her dad’s 1980 horror opus, has been cleaned up, too, and now sports a disarmingly sweet commentary by her.

3) The Dr. Strangelove disc, is, indeed, the newer “Special Edition” version that includes some wonderful extras (documentary and interview material).

4) The controversial Dolby 5.1 remixes were planned by Kubrick, anyway, according to his assistant Leon Vitali, who personally supervised the creation of the new sound tracks from the original elements. Like Kubrick’s original mono tracks, they have clarity and excellent balance. But now they also have great fidelity, and – amazingly – DEPTH. For the first time, you can really find yourself (at least aurally) INSIDE A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket.

5) The included documentary, Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, is no slapdash “extra feature” tossed in strictly for marketing. It is a feature-length (142-minute!) tribute to the late master by his friends, family, and admirers (including Martin Scorsese, Stephen Spielberg, and Woody Allen). Kubrick’s widow, his daughters, and many of his closest collaborators share their thoughts. No tabloid stuff, here. It’s all handled with remarkable taste and respect. It has also forced me to rethink a lot of what I thought I knew about the man, and underscored how priceless Stanley Kubrick really was.

If you are fan, spend the money. You will not regret it.

When the original Kubrick box set was released, it was a nightmare. Kubrick’s classics on DVD looked anywhere from decent to VHS-quality, thanks to the rush job (presumably to capitalize on the great director’s death). This rerelease is what Kubrick would have wanted. Every film from the beautiful masterpiece “Lolita” to the misunderstood “Eyes Wide Shut” is presented here, along with a documentary, “Stanley Kubrick: a Life in Pictures,” which is fantastic — a completely absorbing and entertaining history of the director’s life and work.

Kubrick was not a traditional filmmaker. He shunned Hollywood and retreated to his adopted country of Great Britain in the early sixties, making films entirely on his own terms. His films were feasts for the eyes and spanned every conceivable genre, from comedy (”Dr. Strangelove”) to sci-fi (”2001: a Space Odyssey”) to period pieces (”Barry Lyndon”) to war pictures (”Full Metal Jacket”) and everything in between. He was not afraid to experiment and take the actors as far as they could go.

The picture quality in this long-overdue reissue is nothing short of stunning. Particularly noteworthy is the “Barry Lyndon” disc. Kubrick’s use of natural light in this gorgeous period drama give it a unique beauty never captured in any other film before or since.

As extra material goes, the box is pretty sparse (except for the documentary, of course), but you do get the mini-documentary of the making of The Shining, complete with optional commentary. But what counts here are the pictures themselves, which are all, without question, masterpieces.

Discover Kubrick’s world. Sure, it’s a lot of money, but worth every penny. Buy it on a Friday, cancel your weekend plans, and explore the amazing world of these films. This box set is why DVDs were invented.

Yes, I am yet another “Triffid” lover fooled into buying this DVD. The Cinemascope (2.35:1) film is cropped down to 4:3 so the title of the movie barely fits on the screen, the picture is grainy and out of focus, and the color is drastically shifted to the right! Allied Artists’ idea of digitally mastering is copying an Nth generation VHS tape to a hard drive and burning a DVD! I have the widescreen PAL version of this movie on DVD and even with PAL to NTSC conversion it is 1000 times better than this miserable excuse for a DVD! Hopefully the Second Sight Films version of “Day of the Triffids” will make it to the US. Until then, don’t fear the Triffids, fear this DVD!!

I was already waiting for this DVD to arrive when I read the other reviews. Otherwise I would have cancelled my order. This is a fine British sci-fi horror shocker that is well done in color and capably acted. It’s one of my favorites. What this Allied Artists company has done with it is astonishingly awful….I’m just sick over their utter gall to release this neglected gem in such terrible condition. It’s so faded and poorly reproduced that you can’t even enjoy it….

It was a unique experience watching this film unfold, and before I gave it a second viewing with the commentary (in which they stated numerous times how they wanted this film to be like no other high school film prior) I was already feeling like I had just watched a very different kind of teen film. But really good.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Assassination of a High School President! Click Here

The theme was best described on the cover art with “Rushmore meets Usual Suspects”. The story follows these twenty-somethings playing teens as they traverse their existence at a private high school. Bruce Willis plays excellently his over-the-top self as the militaristic principal. Mischa Barton fills the role as the hot girl on campus, but she did much better overall in Closing the Ring than here. Regardless of the props and older looking feel, this actually takes place in present day, but kudos to the crew in making a teen film exist without modern appliances (cells, new computers, etc.). Some outstanding supporting performances from Michael Rapaport and Josh Pais compliment some solid writing and storytelling. But mostly, this will help bring Reece Thompson’s name to the spotlight as he gave a very believable performance carrying the central character (nerd turns popular turns scapegoat turns becoming a man).

The supplements are somewhat thorough and center on scenes, but no documentaries. Includes:

Buy,Download, Or Stream Assassination of a High School President! Click Here

* 5:40 minutes of alternate opening scenes. For what the end result was, I am glad they cut these as they both revealed too much information about what would become the plot twists later.

* 20:35 minutes of extended and alternate scenes. The story lines they removed actually make it a better film with more interesting twists, but it was still nice to see what they had filmed originally.

* 6:45 minutes of deleted scenes, decent but forgettable.

* Commentary by the writers and director (some of the previous features listed have an optional commentary also). They had a great time making the commentary, and since there is no making-of it was the only way to hear how everything came to be. I had to wait 23 minutes into it to hear why the film looks like it could take place in the 80s but wasn’t. All of the anecdotes and humor behind the scenes make the listen worthwhile – it definitely had customers paying attention to what was playing with some of their rogue dialogue.

Four stars for the film, one for the supplements. Not a mainstream high school film by any means, just a solid independent attempt at creating a surreal world of this private high school.

Although a critical smash at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, this film did not enjoy a conventional theatrical release due the its distributor, The Yari Film Group, filing for bankruptcy. Given all the CGI as a replacement for a decent screenplay garbage that Hollywood does manage to shove into theaters, one almost feels the pang of some cosmic injustice on behalf of film’s creative team and performers. Fortunately, Assassination of a High School President has garnered enough of a following to prevent it from slipping through the cracks.

What impressed me most was the screenplay! And what impressed me most about the screenplay were the character arcs of the leading actor and actress, Reece Daniel Thompson and Mischa Barton. The former writes for the school newspaper, doesn’t fit into any of the many social cliques surrounding him, and whose greatest strength, an unyeilding sense of ambition, becomes his greatest weakness. In addition to her beauty, the latter is also brilliant, poised, and precise. She knows well the stature she holds and what that stature can avail her, but she doesn’t seem all that interested in exploiting it.

In order to distinguish himself from the other members of the school paper Bobby Funke must become more than a run of the mill reporter, he must become an investigative journalist. At first, just to distinguish himself for a shot at a summer journalism scholarship, but, later, to clear the name of someone he has personally indicted with his writing. While the late John Hughes made youth-focused films that connected with a young audience in very specific ways, this film is a satire in every moment of its existence. The principal in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was plucky to the point of unwarranted silliness, but here Bruce Willis portrays a potent and powerful principal of this private Catholic school. One would probably laugh AT the former, but we laugh with the latter and do so just a little bit nervously. While Bruce Willis was the catalyst to get me to look at this film in the first place, his role is strictly supportive. It is a testament to his skills as an actor to maximize all the little opportunities for both spoken and physical comedy that present themselves without upstaging the storyline or the cast he is supporting.

If I have one complaint, it would be that there wasn’t a single black and white scene in the film. Everytime Funke holds his stick of chewing gum like Sam Spade would hold a cigarette before taking a puff the film just screams noir. The timelessness of the set-dressing and wardrobe are all there, but I just wish there could have been one black and white scene somewhere as an homage to traditional film noir.

Of the bonus features, the most noteworthy would be the running commentary. I normally have mixed feelings about most deleted scenes, but here there are a couple of scenes that were a real sacrifice to have to leave on the cutting room floor (this is especially true for anyone familiar with even a rudimentary amount of Spanish). A making of featurette would have been nice, but, given all the financial challenges this project eventually met with, I’m just glad it has managed to see the light of day.

I don’t normally write reviews of movies since there are plenty who already do so and do so well, but Assassination of a High School President has encountered more than it’s fair share obstacles and setbacks. If you’re looking for a stark departure from the cookie-cutter formula of most high school films, then this is the ticket.

I was looking forward to watch DOG SOLDIERS ever since I read a very favorable article about it in a British horror film magazine. When I spotted the DVD here on amazon, I immediately ordered it.
DOG SOLDIERS revolves around a squad of British soldiers on a training mission in the Scottish highlands. Soon strange things start happening. They encounter a badly wounded Special Operations officer, whom they take with them. Attacked by werewolves, the squad suffers the first casualties but manages to make a narrow escape with the help of a young woman. After reaching a remote farm, things turn from bad to worse when their car is destroyed by their devilish furry foes. Besieged, with no radio or phone connection, despairetly trying not to panick and running out of ammo, a fierce fight ensues with the almost invincible werewolves…
WOW! WOW! And again WOW! To my point of view DOG SOLDIERS is one of the greatest horror films of all time, exceptionally well written, fastpaced with a strong storyline and likeable characters, who are not the mere monsterfodder as usual. You actually care for the sympathetic guys ( with the exception of the special operations officer ). It is a real pleasure to watch a fright flick without the usual cast of annoying teens. I also found it refreshing that DOG SOLDIERS lacks the silly humour considered indespensable by so many directors. The plot is very inventive and makes good use of the locations. DOG SOLDIERS is relatively violent and gory ( the disembowellment of the sergeant made me wince) but it is not splatter for splatter’s sake. And a horror movie without CGI is a real viewing pleasure in itself.
Some remarks on the DVD:
You can choose between a widescreen and a fullframe presentation. As for extras, you have an audiocommentary, a featurette and two trailers, the international and the domestic one. The international one is widescreen, quite good, but gives away too much of the film, while the domestic one is presented fullscreen and doesn’t do the film justice.

Every few years a horror film comes along that simply wows genre fans. Maybe it has something to do with awesome gore effects, or a better than average plot, or great performances by previously unknown actors; it might even resemble something like “Dog Soldiers,” a recent film that contains all of the above mentioned attributes along with a nifty reworking of one of horror’s old touchstones: the werewolf story. Whatever it is that makes a horror film stand out, we need more movies that look like this one. “Dog Soldiers” seemed to come out of nowhere, like manna from heaven feeding weary horror fans slogging through the deserts of slasher film retreads and the recent trend of mediocre remakes. The fact that this gripping take on the werewolf legend comes from the British Isles makes it even more remarkable. The misty climes of the Scottish highlands are the perfect setting for such a bleak movie. Remember how successful “An American Werewolf in London” was when it took place in the same bleak atmosphere? You get that type of oppressiveness in “Dog Soldiers” as well.

No one really believes in werewolves anymore. The whole business about people changing into bloodthirsty wolves when a full moon comes out just doesn’t seem as scary in a world of serial killers and terrorism. And shooting a beast through the heart with a silver bullet or stabbing them with a silver blade? C’mon! Something as easy as that wouldn’t even turn Jason Voorhees’s head for a second! Yep, in today’s world you will need something much more involved than a couple of hairy brutes roaming around in the woods once a month. Fortunately, you get much more with “Dog Soldiers.” How about an entire family of werewolves, a squad of heavily armed soldiers on a training exercise in the wilds of Scotland, and a deserted house in the middle of nowhere? How about a guy brave enough to take on an eight-foot tall werewolf with his bare hands? How about enough gunfire to make “Scarface” look like a Disney film? If you think lycanthropes and assault weapons go together like milk and cookies, you will adore this film.

The plot is seductively simple: a squad of army regulars, including a tough as nails soldier who recently flunked out of SAS training because he wouldn’t shoot a dog, runs into more than they can handle during a routine exercise out in the hills. They uncover a group of SAS troops torn to pieces in the wild, and find only one survivor of the group cowering nearby (who just happens to be the guy who flunked our sturdy hero out of the SAS). This colonel rants and raves about how there are more of “them” then we thought, and how there’s no way to stop them, and other seemingly mad statements. One thing’s for certain: anything that can turn a group of SAS commandos into hamburger would send me running home to mother. The regular army guys recognize this danger, too, and decide to scoot right out of the hills and back to civilization.

Regrettably, whatever attacked the SAS guys suddenly reappears to wreak havoc on our group of heroes. While fleeing through the woods from these shadowy figures, the men stumble upon a vehicle driving along a country lane. As it turns out, the car contains a beautiful young lass who knows all about what’s going on in the woods. It’s werewolves out hunting for the night, she says, and as if to emphasis this point the lycanthropes attack the car. The group manages to get to a nearby house and barricade themselves inside, but the vehicle goes up in flames and now there is no way out until morning. The rest of the film consists of one lengthy combat scene after another, as the soldiers use machine guns, blades, and their bare hands to hold off the group of enraged wolves. Another thing: for some reason best left unsaid here, the werewolves seem to resent the soldiers holing up in this particular house. These guys just cannot get a break.

With the exception of one scene well into the movie that strains the bounds of believability, everything works in “Dog Soldiers.” The characters are interesting and well developed, especially the Sergeant leading the platoon and the rejected SAS soldier. Even the evil SAS colonel who knows much more than he is letting on adds a fun dimension to the film. Throw in literally gallons of blood and gore, gallows humor dialogue, and pacing that fairly grabs you around the neck and you have a horror classic for the ages with this gem. I should also mention that “Dog Soldiers,” at one point in the movie, actually made me jump so high out of my chair that I nearly hit the ceiling. You probably won’t see this shock coming, and I won’t spoil it for you, but if you don’t react in some way when it happens, you’re probably comatose. I salute a movie that can inspire such a jolt in my jaded system. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if “Dog Soldiers” gets a sequel in the near future, if not for any big box office numbers then for heavy rental numbers and enthusiastic praise from many horror fans. I could watch this film again and again without ever getting tired of it, and I think you will like it too if you give it a chance.

Waxwork and Waxwork 2 are very inovating horror films. Now we can enjoy both movies on one disk!!! Great “POPCORN” movies from the “AWESOME 80’s!!! I just purchased this dvd and Waxwork pt 1, is the UNRATED version… so your seeing all the blood and gore, especially in the Wereolf and the Vampire slayer scenes. Waxwork–UNRATED and Waxwork 2—RATED R. Hope this helped anyone. “Steak Tar Tar anyone?” ENJOY!!!!

Artisan does it again by releasing this great double feature DVD. If the original Waxowrk wasn’t good enough, you also get its awsome sequel. For those of you who haven’t see Waxwork, don’t be fooled into thinking this is going to be a totally serious scary as hell movie. I is actually very toungue in cheek and has many funny moments. In the wake of Re-Animator, there were many immitations on mixing humor and gore, and Waxwork is one of the better films to come out of the mix. The sequel is almost just as good as the original and portrays many cameos that you will recognize (Bruce Campbell and Drew Barrymore to name a few). Two very entertaining film a cheap price. Now te downside. Originally when Waxwork was released on VHS, it was released in two seperate verions: an R-Rated and an Unrated. Sadly, the R-Rated version is the one present on the DVD which makes me worried that the Unrated will never be released. Another complaint is the picture quality. Artisan needs to start remastering these things. All their double feature DVD’s are grainy. But that aside, don’t let those downsides stop you from purchasing this DVD, its well worth it.

The video contains many great facts about the invention of the television, but the delivery of these facts are horrible. The description does not tell you that the video was created in 1996 and has the pacing of an old documentary. I’m sure a newer video about the television would be better, but this video is a sleeper. I could never use it in my classes at school.

Modern Marvels – Television: Window to the World has loads of factual information along with amazing archival footage that kept my attention all the way through. The story goes at a rather quick pace although the major names in the development of television are repeated so often that you’re sure to pick them up. There is interview footage with Walter Cronkite and a David Sarnoff employee and biographer; and I particularly liked the footage of the first televised signals even if they were crude images that needed much more technological refinement.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Modern Marvels – Television: Window to the World (History Channel)! Click Here

The DVD goes straight through the history of the development of television; and we are introduced to inventors and geniuses like Farnsworth who was awarded the patent for inventing television. Amazingly enough, David Sarnoff was quite the businessman and he was eventually able to outmaneuver Farnsworth and political figures to control the better part of television and its broadcasts. It’s also great to see how they developed color television using a system partially based on the three colors of red, yellow and blue.

If I have any problem with this DVD it would be that the information does come at you rather quickly and I would have had trouble taking too many notes were I a student in school watching this for a homework assignment. It might also be uninteresting for a younger crowd although I myself enjoyed it. If you are a teacher considering whether or not to use this DVD in class, you may want to look elsewhere as this might not be the best choice for junior high school students or even high school students. This film has a lot of information at an almost rapid fire pace with plenty of important detail.

Overall, while I enjoyed this DVD very much I admit the information comes at you so fast that students might have a hard time taking notes properly to absorb all the pertinent information. It could also be too dry depending on the specific group of students you wish to show this to; but it’s very well suited for adults and anyone else who wants an excellent introduction to the history of television and its development over the years.
