Romeos (English Subtitled)



ROMEOS: A 'No Apologies' Kind of Movie!
Wow. Romeos moved me in so many ways that I feel...speechless. It's been a long time since I watched something that made the tiny hairs on my arms stand on edge. Moved to tears not only because of the performances (although they were extremely good) but because...finally someone has come along and made a movie so brutally honest, without apologies, on a topic that so many people are ignorant about. And we all know what happens when people are ignorant. Ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to blind hatred. That ignorance, fear, and hatred is what kills our youth, whether its from suicide or bashing.

Romeos was one of the movies I actually paid to see at last years 2011 Philadelphia Q-Fest. And guess what? When my mom and I got to the theater and were standing in line, we found out that something was wrong with the film equipment, therefore, we could either get a refund or come back tomorrow. Well, I had work the next day and I live about a good 40 mins from Philadelphia,...

An enjoyable film...
Romeos is one of those rare gems that tugs at your heart strings and makes you cheer for the hero of the film. This movie has a lot of heart and soul. It was funny at times yet serious all the same with a very relatable subject matter to those going through what the main character is going through of a person trapped in the wrong body finding his place in the world and all the while searching for acceptance from the people around him and from within.

Rick Okon, who plays the brave and rebellious Lukas, a gay trans man who is transioning from female to male, is simply amazing. He played the character with such realism and truth that I couldn't take my eyes off of him, more so than the object of Luka's attraction, Fabio, the closetted bad boy played by Maximilian Befort, who was amazing as well in the film. The other actor who stood out in the film for me was Liv Lisa Fries, who played Lukas lesbian BFF -Ine, who had to accept her childhood friend transformation from a girl...

Excellent film.
OMG this is a great movie. Guaranteed to make you laugh and cry and just say to yourself WOW. I love the German gay interest movies. Always a treat.The story is excellently written and acted. The main characters give it their all especially Rick Okon who is just amazing. Well worth the money. You will watch it over again.

The Invisible Man [Blu-ray]



Invisibly Yours...
THE INVISIBLE MAN- Claude Rains is awesome as the man whose invisibility serum slowly rots his brain. Hunted by police, he sets out to cure himself and get revenge on the man who betrayed him. Excellent stuff! Check out the running pair of pants scene! THE INVISIBLE MAN RETURNS- has Vincent Price as a man on death row, framed for a murder he did not commit. He gets some help in the form of the invisibilty serum and simply walks out of prison! Can he prove his innocense and find the real killer before te serum drives him mad? Great sequel! THE INVISIBLE WOMAN- This one is strictly for laughs. A scientist (John Barrymore) invents an invisibility machine with his assistant (Margaret "Wicked Witch Of The West" Hamilton). A young woman volunteers to be turned invisible and the slapstick begins. A gang of thugs wants the machine for obvious criminal reasons. The gang even includes a stooge (Shemp Howard)! Worth a look. THE INVISIBLE AGENT- Jon Hall is the title character, dropped behind...

The Invisible Man: One of the Best Films of the 30s
Between directing the original "Frankenstein" in 1931 and his masterpiece "Bride of Frankenstein" in 1935, James Whale put out a little gem called "The Invisible Man" in 1933. In some ways I rate "The Invisible Man" above "Frankenstein." For one thing "The Invisible Man" has a great musical score which heightens the drama in many scenes and helps to speed the pace of the film. The original "Frankenstein" had no musical score (strange one was never added for re-release as it would have improved an already great film tremendously) as musical scores weren't commonplace until a few years later. I also think that Whale had developed greatly as a director between 1931 and 1933. "Frankenstein" has many scenes that seem to be stagey and lack the finesse of Whale's later films.

In many ways "The Invisible Man" is Universal's most horrific horror film of the 1930s. Dracula was a vampire who killed to sustain his own existence, Frankenstein's Monster was a misunderstood and...

The Trials and Tribulations of Invisibility
The movie Van Helsing may have been pretty awful, but it did do one good thing in giving Universal a reason to release a lot of its old monster movies. The Invisible Man boxed set is the second best in the bunch, behind only Frankenstein but ahead of Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Mummy. (I have not viewed the Creature boxed set).

The strength in this set is due to two things: the high caliber of the original movie and the fact that all five movies have unique stories. Compare this with the Mummy boxed set in which the four sequels to the original movie all have essentially the same plot.

The original movie is top quality, principally due to the direction of James Whale, clearly the best of the monster movie directors (his other works include the excellent Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein). Claude Rains plays the title character, initially sympathetic but eventually a villain as madness accompanies his invisibility. For those familiar with Gloria Stuart...

Out of Africa (Blu-ray + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)



Africa DVD is Gorgeous
The transfer of OUT OF AFRICA is gorgeous on this newly released DVD. The African sun is bright and the detail is crisp -- very important since the scenery is practically a third character in this Oscar-winning "Best Picture" from 1985.

I really enjoyed "Song of Africa", the documentary created for this DVD release. Not mentioned in the DVD's technical specs, this documentary features several cut scenes not included in the film (except in a network television showing). Example: the subplot of the servant boy with the bad leg whom Karen Blixen heals. There are a few Redford-Streep scenes there, too, which ended up on the cutting room floor (a last dance among Karen Blixen's packed-up home; a made-up story on safari.)

Also, the documentary features incredibly funny and entertaining tales told by Meryl Streep. She is a great mimic -- listen to the sound effects that woman can make! At times hilarious and reflective, she shares stories about the...

Beyond this place there be dragons
"Out of Africa" stands out as one of the most spectacular movies ever made. At the 1985 Academy Awards this movie won seven Oscars including Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Picture. It deserved all seven!

It is filled with romance, scenery, real-life struggles and the inevitability of fate. It is a journey into Africa and into love. The escape is in the hand of fate. This movie presents Africa as a paradise. The natural environment is harsh, yet unspoiled in this movie.

This is based on the true story of Danish writer Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) who left Denmark to marry German Klaus Maria Brandauer/Baron Bror Blixen (Klaus Maria Brandauer) and start a dairy in Kenya.

Some women do enjoy the security of a man looking after them, however Karen is different. She seems to desire companionship and offers her fortune in exchange for marriage. Her husband changes his mind about the dairy and instead they use her money on a risky...

Takes My Breath Away....
This review refers to the Universal Widescreen "Collector's Edition" DVD of "Out Of Africa".....

"Out Of Africa" not only takes my breath away, but for 2 hours and 40 minutes I am transported to another time and place. A beautiful story in a wonderous setting will have you mesmerized as well. No matter how many times I view this film, I never tire of the gorgeous cinematography,the lulling music, the compelling story and of course the superb acting all brought together by the wonderful direction of Sydney Pollack.

Based on a true story, it depicts the life of Karen Blixen(who wrote under the name of Isak Dinesen) She marries a philandering Baron, and gains a title but discovers he has squandered her money on a coffee plantation in Kenya. Left to run it on her own, she befriends the local residents "The Kikuyu", offers them education and medical help, survives on her own strong willed nature and falls in love with the country, the people and...

Thomas & Friends: Milkshake Muddle



Great edition for your Thomas lover!
My two year old adores this DVD! Because I'm a teacher, I'm always looking for a way to make his TV time more educational - the special features in this video get my vote! It's nice to have a short break between the stories to make your child think! There's a feature that has children matching shapes, then a maze that matches engines to their special job (ie - Percy to the mail cars). This dvd also has two songs (that will get stuck in your head if you aren't careful). Our edition also came with Duncan (purchased for the same price at Wal-mart). Several of the stories feature Duncan and Toby which was a delight for my son who just adores Toby. You are also introduced to Mighty Mac and Neville. The short stories are engaging and enjoyable for you and your child (OK, maybe not you after the 50th time, but the first few times are great!) Even better, we get out our trains and recreate the story after it's done.

The interface of the DVD is great! You aren't forced to watch ad...

Great Value
My 3 year old loves the Thomas shows and this is such a great value getting a wooden train that would normally sell for $13 and up along with the DVD. The DVD has some really cute episodes on it too!

A must for little Thomas fans...
...but starting to conform a little too much to modern "sensibilities" for this grown up. The older, closer-to-the-original-story episodes are more fun, silly and nonsensical. By comparison, the engines' distinctive personalities are noticeably watered-down from the early episodes, and there is a lot less technical detail. We still love it, though. Beats the pants off Barney any day.

Home Sweet Home



Praise for 'Home Sweet Home.'
I caught this film in Albuquerque (Aliens and Outlaws)...and....it rocks! It's taught, gripping, and beautiful! I have never wanted to visit a locale so badly and steer completely away from it at the same time! (You'll know what I mean when you see the film).

The lead truly morphs before your eyes to rise up to the brutal challenges she faces. The villain is sexy and scary! I recommend this riveting adventure to anyone who enjoys high octane in their films.

'Home Sweet Home' manages to walk the thriller/horror line but remain extremely accessible to many film goers, and doesn't rely on gross outs and gore to keep audiences in their seats. Can't wait to pick up my blu ray of this film and drool over the cinematography on my 62" HD LED monitor! I"m also looking forward to seeing the making of featurette. My son is studying to be a film maker and wants to see how such a film was pulled off at its budget category.

Two thumps up for 'Home...

Suspense Thriller & a good one at that
Pretty good flick & what a badass killer that actress is. Seriously screwed up and entertaining to boot. You can't wait to see that sinister quirk of a smile. You'll like it, it's a decent story - would have liked a different ending. This review is short only because I'm exhausted today - don't let it reflect poorly on the film, it's a good one guys.

WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?
"Home Sweet Home" is another "me too" home invasion film. After getting her third final notice, unemployed Gwen (Alexandra Boylan) at the advice of her brother, (Andrew Boylan) returns to the isolated family home. She is going to fix it up and place it on the market, although it didn't look like it needed much of anything other than a broken bird feeder and who has those in the middle of the desert?

Unfortunately she has attracted the attention of a couple of bad people lead by Kristi (Raquel Cantu). She is your basic soulless Shari Moon Zombie type of bad girl, and the sole reason for watching this film. Other than her character, the film was boring. I fully expected a wicked twist at the end, i.e. her brother hired them to get rid of her so he can have the house himself, but it didn't happen.

The film wasn't particularly bad, but the twist and the interest factor was lame. Recommend as a rental only.

Canton Junction Live at Cornerstone



A FANTASTIC DVD!
This is one fantastic DVD and should not be missed! All four singers are extremely passionate about the message they give. They are obviously bonded in an unusual way, and are also a lot of fun to watch. I always say that one has to SEE Aaron Crabb sing to fully appreciate him, and this DVD proves that. And I--and the audience--very much like Tim Duncan's spectacular bass voice. The songs selected cover a wide range of Gospel music, and the bonus numbers are fabulous! A DVD that carries a lot of joy and inspiration!

Very enjoyable
I enjoyed seeing Tim Duncan back on a stage again. Don't overlook the bonus tracks! They are just as fun as the rest of the DVD.

Awesome!!
If you like southern gospel music you will lobe this. It is so good & such a blessing! Can't go wrong with this one.

The Company We Keep



Fresh Faces
Not a big fan of urban genre films but this movie was quite interesting. It really showcased how the record industry is on a spiral downfall. Some of the characters were refreshing. Most films within this category don't have as many talented actors in the cast either. It was kinda cool to even recognize some of these newcomers from tv shows, comedy clubs and big budget tv commercials. The plot was fast and furocious but hey it's an indie and a romance comedy.

strong woman's film
This film was of interest to me because it mixes up several areas I love. Strong women,artistic expression,philosophy and history. It has an original approach of self -talk brought into the action. Love scenes fun. The various characters were enjoyable to meet. nicole milner

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE
The title has a duo meaning, both on a personal level, and attempting to keep a company. The story centers Teri (Nefetari Spencer) who manages a record label, one that has financial problems. She is engaged to Dwight (Stephen Bishop) who is a multimillionaire football player. She is attempting to promote Sean Starr (Jamie Starr) on a limited budget while laying people off and moving the company from Beverly Hills to East LA.

Teri does a number of asides to explain her feelings. This really doesn't do anything but highlight the inadequacies of the script. I found the characters to be flat and poorly developed. They branched out at the end instead of coming together, The script was flat also. It was a real yawner watching one poorly written and acted scene after another. A rather trite drama.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs or nudity. Brief sex/love scenes.

Pretty Little Liars: The Complete Third Season



love this show
This show is addicting! Be careful once you start you won't be able to stop! I hate waiting until next week for the next episode!

Love it!!!
I absolouteley LOVE this show!! Cant wait to find out who the new A is! You can watch this season live on Abc family on tuesday nights.

PLL Season 3
I only recently starting watching PLL recently. I started with Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix and was sucked in enough to purchase the first 10 episodes of Season 3 on Amazon Instant so that I could catch up to the current season.

Critiques that this show are far-fetched and that the acting is occasionally sub-par are accurate, but the twists, turns, and camp are what make this show so fun to watch.

The four main characters, despite being the title "liars," each have their own set of flaws that make them loveable and while at first the audience wonders "why are these girls even friends?" soon enough the friendship among them seems genuine and you are on their side as they try to figure out who murdered their best friend and who the mysterious "A" is.

Ordering this with the TV pass a great idea. I was able to purchase all the early episodes of Season 3 for a reasonable price and then cancel it when I was caught up enough to watch the new episodes currently...

Chupacabra vs. The Alamo



Chupacabra vs. The Alamo......
Strange things are happening in San Antonio. Members of rival drug cartels are turning up dead with every drop of blood siphoned from their bodies. When DEA Agent Carlos Seguin investigates, he discovers that the murder suspect isn't human. Now, he must prepare for the true last stand at the Alamo...against a rampaging pack of blood-sucking Chupacabras.

I must admit, when I heard that Erik Estrada(of TV's CHIPS) was in this film, I thought to myself that the film might not be too bad. Heck, most of the films I've seen Estrada in have always been pretty good. Don't get me wrong, the film itself isn't too bad. At times, it does take itself way too seriously. What made it an okay film instead of a film that I like is this...if you're going to make a good Chupacabra film, why not make them- at least- look halfway threatenng. The CGI Chupacabras, for the most part, were effective enough yet there were times (especially with the smaller Chupacabras) where they looked like...

Humorous SyFy Silliness That Makes The Most Of Its Leading Man, Erik Estrada
4 stars: Lovers of Cheesy SyFy Fare
1 1/2 stars: Everyone Else

In approaching a SyFy channel original creature feature, there are only so many resultant options available in terms of entertainment value: (1) The movie can be unrelentingly and painfully bad, (2) it can be so delightfully horrendous that it's camp nirvana, or (3) it can be genuinely frightening or effective. Faithful fans of the network's slate of films will realize that most fall within the first category while only a miniscule few hit that third category. No, as a true SyFy fan, I generally hope for that second classification: cheesy goodness that makes bad movie magic! You know with the title "Chupacabra vs. The Alamo" that this latest endeavor isn't even trying for genuine scares or seriousness. Boasting the stellar talents of Erik Estrada and Julia Benson (she's a headliner, but I wasn't familiar with her resume), I was definitely afraid for the worst. Truthfully, though, the movie pleasantly...

MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK
Carlos Seguin (Erik Estrada) and his new partner Tracy (Julia Benson) are investigating a murder. Erik believes it is some kind of gang killing while Tracy opts for CG canines. If you read the title of the film, you already now it is the CG canines known as Chupacabra, which look like a big ugly coyote. Carlos has family issues which become part of the film as they try to iron out their problems.

The special effects make for a campy film. The CG animals, CG gun fire, and the scenery moving in the background as Erik rides his bike, like a 1940's film. His jumping over a car and the use of a CG grenade was perhaps the highlights of the campy humor. The dialouge was fairly lame with noticeable music and scene changes for commercial breaks.

There is plenty of fake blood and killing as these animals who have lived in the wild have mastered door knob operations with their first attempt. Unless you are a fan of bad SyFy films, stay away.

Parental Guide: No...

Revenge From The Deep



Finally!
Since this series was never syndicated, finding ways of watching it were tough to say the least. The first season was all we had available on DVD, but that was probably the weakest of all of them.

Sherman Howard makes a welcome change as the new Lex Luthor. His origin of becoming Lex Luthor is a little whacky, and conveniently never referred to again, but he makes a great villain nonetheless. Gerard Christopher taking over the title character is a little awkward if you've just come off of the first season, but he grows into the role nicely as the series progresses. And the stories begin to mature here, as well. They're not as dark in tone was the 3rd and 4th seasons, but they're definitely less campy than the 1st season.

As far as the DVD itself, first of all, I was surprised to find that these are NOT DVD-R's as their description says. These are regular old, factory-pressed DVDs. The audio and picture are greatly improved from the first season, too. You...

Better than season 1 and worth the wait
I had waited so long on Warner to bring out the second season of this series that I had given up. I'm very glad they finally decided to listen to the fans and do a second season. The second season (and season 3 and 4) are much better than season 1. If you are a superman fan (especially of the late seventies version of superman) I think you will like this series. It is NOT dark, it is NOT outstanding special effects, but it IS a very enjoyable story and fun to watch.

Oh and contrary to another viewer's review these discs ARE DVRs (which you can plainly see by looking at the surface of the discs), but they are well done and look very much like factory-made DVDs based on the design and quality of the artwork. I had no problems playing these discs on my Blu-ray player. Warner, please don't make us wait years to bring out the final two seasons of this great series. Highly recommended.

A big difference since season 1
Those of you who were disenchanted with this groundbreaking series, I ask you to please give it a second chance. This second season began new changes which completely took the series in a new direction to become one of the very best incarnations of 'Superman' ever put to film.
When executive producer Ilya Salkind created this series originally it was set at Schuster university. The first season was cheesy and the special effects had much to be desired. The show was in danger of cancellation by the end of the first season so drastic measures were taken to save the show. What they did was genius.
Gone was John Haymes Newton as the lead role replaced by Gerard Christopher. Gone was the poorly casted Scott Wells and replaced by the most noticeable and greatest cast change Sherman Howard who now played a truly sinister Lex Luthor who was inspired by the great Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker in the first Batman movie which, at the time, was still fresh in people's minds...

My three year old grandson loves "motor cross", we rented it just in case it was full of commentary and not a lot of action to keep his attention. He and I were thrilled that it was full of action set to, what I call rock, music. One song was "scremo" as he calls it which he yelled, " nana, uncles's song!" :) any way he watched it everyday.

Fluid Technique with Zoe Jakes - 2 disc set



Really good primer
So I will start this review by saying the I received mine as part of a contest hosted by the producer of this DVD. I will on the other hand be as honest as I can be. So to start out this review I have been doing Egyptian/Cabaret style belly dance for a year now and recently have started taking lessons in the tribal style. I have a strong dance background in other styles such as Ballroom dance and have begun taking yoga lessons regularly.

So for tribal DVDs I will say that Zoe Jakes has the best on screen personality that I have encountered she seems friendly to the audience even though we aren't there. Which is really important, I have the Serpentine DVD and unfortunately the narrating in that DVD is much to monotone and impersonal for my taste making it hard to use for practice. That being said I feel like some parts of the DVD could be improved.

The warm-up for both discs is the same, while I have no problem with that normally some of the moves that were...

A belly dance most
It is Zoe Jakes. Need I say more. I think it there is a ton of information in this set of DVDs. I am a beginner so this is beyond my experience but It is a reference guide that I will use for a long time. It is worth the money.

This Is What "Superboy" Fans Have Long Awaited!
After two middling seasons and many casting changes, this Third Season of "Superboy" was when the show really took off and produced some of the most quality moments of Superman-related fare ever created.

Of course, one must always remember to watch "Superboy" with tongue firmly planted in cheek. It is pretty campy throughout (though not to quite to the extent of 1960s Batman, for example) and was obviously made for a children's audience. However, if you can overlook the "cheese" factor (nostalgia helps!) and take the show for what it is, you will enjoy most every episode.

The format of this season is changed up quite a bit from Season Two. Instead of school kids, Clark and Lana now work (ala Mulder & Scully!) at the Bureau of Extranormal Events where they investigate strange cases. Gone is Andy McCallister and the juvenile tone he brought to the show. The highlights of this third season include:

-4 "portal" episodes involving Superboy travelling...

A real Super series
If you have never seen either season 1 or 2 of Superboy but want to know the kind of show it is, this is probably the best season to watch. The first season was pretty awful. The original "Lex Luthor" in the first season was unforgivable casting. TJ White was also a boring character who served as a 'Jimmy Olsen' type person. Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang was the only main character to be involved with the show all four seasons and she shines in each season. The original Superboy played by John Haynes Newton looked the part and he played it very straight much like George Reeves in the 1950s version. The stories from the first season were very lame, the special effects were terrible, and it was almost cancelled based on the original ratings. But things really did change for the better when Gerard Christopher filled in the boots as the new Superboy. And the original Lex Luthor was replaced with the phenomenal Howard Shermann. The second season was a huge step in the right direction by...

Rather enjoyable
Two things you don't ask about the series at this point:

1) What is the "Bureau of Paranormal Investigations," and how do two college Juniors get year-long internships in which they become full on field agents?" (answer - it helped the show a "Daily Planet-esque" setting)

2) Why is a grown man still calling himself "Superboy?" (answer - the producers didn't have the rights to the name "Superman")

Once you get past those two glaring plot holes, the show itself becomes rather enjoyable this point. Moving away from campiness found in all of Season 1 and big chunk of Season 2, this is when the show tried its best at more dramatic storytelling. This season also contains probably the best story arc of the series, "The Roads Not Taken." You can also sense a much darker tone to the show beginning with this season, likely due to the influence of Tim Burton's first Batman movie coming out around this same time.

Threesome, Part Two



Continues The Quality Of The Third Season
Until this point in the "Superboy" canon of seasons, the quality had varied considerably from season to season. Season One was wooden and with almost a completely different cast. Season Two got the casting right, but the tone was still so goofy. Season Three finally put everything together and ran off probably the best string of episodes (including the "portal" series) in the show's history. Luckily, though, Season Four does not include such a sea change and instead just continues to produce quality "Superboy" television.

Perhaps the biggest change for this final season is that many more two-part stories are used. It seems as if (for better or worse) every third episode or so ends with "to be continued".

Some highlights of this season include...

-The building romance between Superboy/Clark (Gerard Christopher) and Lana (Stacy Haiduk). It's all very kid-friendly per the show's nature, of course, but there is definitely a progression as the season...

Superboy was a great tv show
I love this show. Season 4 is one of the best seasons from Superboy. If you like Christopher Reeve as Superman you will love Gerard Christopher as Superboy.
