I already own both films but purchased this as the case described “Dirty Dozen” as being a 16×9 transfer. It is not. Further, special features are listed for this film that are not actually on the disc. I knew I was in trouble when the film began with the Turner logo. Old transfer. “Kelly’s Heroes” IS 16×9 as it was on the single feature release.

In addition, it appears the newly repackaged “How the West Was Won” suffers from the same deceptive packaging by being labeled “enhanced for widescreen TVs” when it is not and is also an old Turner master.

People are bound to complain so it’s hard to believe Warner Home Video, previously very reliable, would do this intentionally. Something is defintely wrong in their QC department these days.

These are both EXCELLENT movies. However, for some reason (mere incompetence, I’d bet) the dvd’s packaging states that The Dirty Dozen is presented in 16×9 (anamorphic) format and also includes audio commentary by cast and crew. This is NOT TRUE–neither of these features exist on the disc. If you’re thinking of buying this as an upgrade from your standard single-disc version of Dirty Dozen, don’t bother. The DD side of this flipper disc is the same as the budget single-disc, non-anamorphic version that’s been available for years.

Warner’s should either fix the packaging, or upgrade the content of the disc. SO ANNOYING!

There are a number of reviews of the 2-DVD twofer version of “Daughters of Darkness” that call this movie a 5-star masterpiece. If you watch this movie for the first time with that level of expectation, you will likely be left feeling hugely underwhelmed by the movie’s conclusion.

True, this movie does exhibit a higher degree of “art film” production values than your typical horror/vampire film (in particular, I notice that Kumel has some sort of fetish for artistic shots that highlight hands), And it does feature a pretty compelling performance by Delphine Seyrig, a sort of French Marlena Dietrich, whose charisma is undeniable. But those positive attributes are not enough to outweigh several impossible-to-believe script details (in particular, the various character deaths), and the plodding editing.

The director’s (Harry Kumel) commentary explains that he was instructed to create a “commercial” film, which according to him meant “sex and blood.” The movie opens with a sex scene, and also features full frontal female nudity, pretty close to full frontal male nudity, and according to Kumel, the first mainstream film depiction of a male achieving an orgasm. In addition, both female and male homosexuality is implied. However, Kumel’s explanation made clear to me why I was left with the feeling that these “commercial” elements are contrived and not integral to the story. I suspect that this film would never have been more than a blip on anyone’s radar except for the scandalous reputation that was intentionally created by attempting to shock 70s era audiences (note: by today’s standards, this is easily an R-rated film).

This is not to say that I hated this film, hence my 3-star rating. It is definitely a solid horror film, and it does have an unconventional charm that you do not find in modern day, gore-filled horror/slasher films. My closest analogy would be to call it “a poor man’s ‘The Fourth Man’”, a film that I consider to be as close to a “masterpiece” as you can get in the horror genre. Given its popularity/infamy, you should definitely see “Daughters of Darkness” once just to understand what all the hullabaloo is about. Just don’t expect a 5-star gem.

Much was made of this film when it appeared, and it did break some ground in terms of style and eroticism in vampire movies. But in 2009 it seems very slow, with not enough material to justify its length. Andrea Rau is lovely to look at (although a vampire with a tan line is something that might have been given more thought). In all, this is very much a film of its time, rather than one for the ages.

The Iceman Interviews is a 45 minute collection of interviews with Richard Kuklinski and uses pretty much all the same footage as another DVD called Confessions of a Mafia Hitman. Although both DVDs are interesting and offer a peek into the mind of a hitman, arguably a serial killer, although he got paid for it at times, this one has a section titled The Iceman and The Psychologist. That makes all the difference.

This 15 minute interview that Richard Kuklinski has with a psychologist is very eye-opening and really delves into how and why Kuklinski would 1. perform these heinous acts, and 2. be able to perform these heinous acts. It’s very interesting to see Kuklinski talk about how these actions made him feel, as well as talking about his childhood and the way his father treated him.

If you’re at all interested in psychology or the psychology of serial killers and other abnormalities in the human psyche, this section will keep you enthralled. I only wish it were longer.

The rest of the DVD contains footage and interviews that the other DVD contains as well. In these sections Kuklinski talks about how he went about his career as a hitman, and describes different murders that he committed.

This compilation includes all 3 Iceman interviews. He comes across like a true psychopath except for the tears shed for his family in the first interview. The interview with the FBI psychologist is the most interesting, as is the Iceman’s reaction to the prognosis.

I haven’t yet looked at the Flashdance portion of this DVD, but Footloose is a very poor transfer. There is dirt and spots throughout the film and most scenes are very soft and blurry. At least it’s presented in anamorphic widescreen.

With the current trend on TV of bringing dance to popularity, it’s refreshing to go back to classics.

Click Here to Stream or Download Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry: Season 4

As a spoken word poet and literature professor, I love Def Poetry Jam as a source of inspiration and a touchstone for the state of spoken word poetry. An ecclectic mix of different styles, season 4 is another great collection of incredible poets and poems. These are taped live in a Broadway theatre with a live audience, so it’s as close to the real thing as you can get on dvd. These episodes do well to balance male and female voices as well as representatives from many different races, ethnicities and points of view. Forget about the celebrity appearances- it’s the poets youmay never have heard of that will blow your mind. My personal favorites appear early, including Black Ice and a husband/wife duo telling the raw truth about raising kids on low incomes. My community college students, whom I cannot wake up to discuss Dickinson or even Hughes, were wide-eyed and all ears while I showed selections from these discs. This season includes more episodes than any of the previous three as well.

As I watch the episodes back-to-back, I notice my reaction to Def Poetry shifting. A given poem can be thrilling and surprising and shocking and funny and wonderful (the opener of this season, “Knock Knock” is a good example), but the shine quickly fades as I log my second and third hour. Does a certain sameness creep in? Are there obvious rules by which the poets ALL play? Can I predict the likely ebb and flow of each poem, whatever its subject? By the last episode, the poetry no longer seems original; it seems formulaic. Perhaps this just means that I should resist the temptation to take long gulps of this; perhaps half-hour sips, separated by days or weeks, is the right way to digest these performances. I ding it a star for being good, but not great.

I ding the series another star for cheap packaging. Is it too much to ask for an episode by episode set list of who performs what, either printed in the case or as a menu option on the disc? How about some sort of extras? I’d like to give credit to the poet I cited above, but I’d have to re-watch the show to catch his name.

Bought it as a Christmas present for my wife (she has been an Aardman groupie for years if you can believe that) - but I found Creature Comforts Merry Christmas Everybody is included in Creature Comforts The Complete Second Season, so don’t buy both. I unfortunately did buy both, so one of my kids gets this as a stocking stuffer.

(I keep trying to rate this thing as 5 stars, but the rating is changed apparetly at random when I prereview the review. I am getting tired of fighting with this review so I am about to let it go the way it turns up. Bare that in mind if the rating turns up less than 5. Always remember, “Computers are things of the devil. And the smaller they are, the closer to the heart of hell they come from.”)

If you are a fan of Nick Park’s Creature Comforts you will probably NOT want to buy this, it is already on the SEASON 2 DVD SET! This special is wonderful, but only those non fans looking for holiday DVDs should consider this DVD release!

This work shows the rise and fall of the biggest cocaine’s trafficker. Sensitive viewers should not watch this as it shows myriad shot and mangled corpses. Escobar killed 3 Colombian presidential candidates, 11 of the country’s 21 justices, and thousands more. These facts are Machiavellian: the more crimes he committed, the more people and groups were willing to fight him no matter what. The work ends with comparisons of Escobar to bin Laden. For years, I have heard that Colombia is a very violent and troubled country. This work touches upon why that is.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Pablo Escobar: King of Coke! Click Here

This has diverse interviewees: American and Colombian nationals, native English speakers, those using English as a second language, and those whose Spanish must be translated. I do think all the interviewees were male, however. This work interviews many important people, including ambassadors, presidents, vice-presidents, and DEA agents.

I was told that this work was 60 minutes, but it’s actually 90. Now maybe I didn’t see a high-quality copy, but this sure didn’t seem to have chapters. So don’t think you can skip around without doing a lot of fast-forwarding.

I’ll get right to the point. This DVD would be up there with Cocaine Cowboys 1-2, Mr. Untouchable, and other informative documentaries but it’s mega-cheap and definitely not worth the price. It looks like something I could have bought in an alley behind a fried chicken shack for five bucks or less. There’s no menu or chapters. It just begins abruptly and ends the same way. It feels like it was recorded from a cable tv show. On the other hand, I was shocked, amazed, and thrilled by Pablo’s rise and fall. I just wish I would have bought my copy on the street.

I remember the original Stargate SG-1 movie and while it was good, I think Richard Dean Anderson and Daniel Shanks made a better team than Kurt Russell and James Spader. Stargate offered an exciting journey to distant lands in a blink of an eye and the journey was usually quick, saving more time for adventure.

But after season 8, Stargate got too familiar, always fighting the Gu’ald. The addition of Ben Browder and Claudia Black seemed too reminiscent of Farscape. But the addition of the Ori as a new formidable opponent made the series sizzle again!

Season 10 continues Stargate SG-1’s battle against the Ori, one of the most powerful enemies ever concocted. The search for Merlin’s weapon against the Ancients that would also destroy the Ori leads one on a quest where even the Gu’ald team up with the SG-1 team to help defeat the Ori. The Ori can transform humans into their oracles and spokesmen and it is interesting to see Daniel Jackson as an Ori. But buy the DVD and see what happens next!

Stargate SG-1 may not be the cleverest series, but it offered quality entertainment to the family for 10 years. I doubt if StarWars could continue as good a series for 10 years. Even though the 100th and 200th episodes were campy and goofy, the 200th episode did have references to Farscape and a tongue-in-cheek view of the show. Stargate offered a look inside each character and although we hoped something would happen between Jack O’Neal and Samantha Carter, it was nice to see Daniel Jackson and Vala as a couple. The show’s ending was bittersweet but it’s nice to know that there will be movies following.

The series finale did not go out in a bang, or a whimper. It was tastefully done and unexpected. There was a LOT of loose ends and I hope the movies will resolve these. I will get Season 10 to finalize my box set collection. You should too because it will become a SciFi classic!

The series was getting to seem a bit long in the tooth but features solid writing, great characters and the usual stellar production values. I’ll of course own this DVD and will continue to enjoy the series, a fine blend of pulp sci fi and space opera that always surprised, entertained and will never get old. I’m glad to see that the story lines will hopefully be wrapped in the movies to come. I look forward to a more focused writing team for future SG Atlantis seasons and some interesting evolution’s of SG in the future.

If you’re an “extras” hound like me, “Toy Story & Toy Story 2 - The Ultimate Toy Box” is the promised land. Hands down the best goodies of any DVD to this date. Oh yeah, and you get two excellent movies too!

I won’t spend time on the movies themselves, except to say that they’re two of the most entertaining films ever made. Instead, let’s focus on why to get the 3-DVD set instead of the 2-DVD set.

The third DVD is truly impressive. You’ll find fully-animated deleted scenes; funny & interesting interviews with cast, crew, animators, etc.; an absolutly hysterical debate on “Who’s the best character?” with Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and the whole cast; some very detailed explanations of the techniques used to create the movies; and so much more. I’ve spent over three hours on Disc 3 alone so far, and there’s a lot more to go!

There are even cool hidden features. For example, on Disc 3 choose ‘Toy Story 2.’ Under the ‘Story’ section, choose ‘Jesse’s Song.’ On the next screen that appears, press the ‘Left’ arrow key on your remote control & you’ll see a question mark. With the question mark highlighted, hit ‘Enter’ for a outtake with an introduction by the directors.

The sound & picture quality on all three discs are the best I’ve seen on DVD. Helps when the whole movie was CREATED digitally, eh?

All in all “The Ultimate Toy Box” is the best DVD set around, bar none. Well worth the extra money!

DO NOT BUY FROM SELLER ONTARIOFILMS…THIS PERSON IS SELLING ILLEGAL COPIES OF MOVIES. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING TOYSTORY 1&2 FROM THIS CRIMINAL. THE DVD’S WERE COPIES (PIRATED COPIES) BURNED OFF AN ORIGINAL COPY. THE DISCS WERE SCRATCHED AND WOULD NOT PLAY ON ANY DVD PLAYER IN MY HOME. THEREFORE,
DO NOT BUY FROM: ONTARIOFILMS….YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!!!!
