This movie was a surprise to me and a pleasant one and I would actually rate it four and a half stars. While I have never read the book on which it is based, I found it a haunting and memorable work of art in itself. The figure of Ambrose Bierce, as played by Gregory Peck, is quite fascinating but unless you are familiar with the writer (and even if you are)you may find the characterization rather hard to comprehend. However, Peck’s performance is strong enough to carry you along despite this and his interaction with the other two characters–the frustrated spinster, played beautifully by Fonda, and the volatile and sexy rebel general played equally well by Smits–is totally engrossing. The love triangle, which seemed more of a father-daughter-lover relationship, could have been fleshed out more but was still pretty riveting. However, the real pull of the film is the beauty of the cinematography in battle scenes, love scenes and interiors, equally; the passion and brutality of the revolutionaries and at the same time their humanity, and the connection between the rather wildly different three central characters based on that humanity and despite the brutality, all during an epic era in the history of Mexico. I have watched this film several times now and each time I find new reasons to admire it, not the least of which is that it is just a wonderful story about characters who are electric, vibrant and mesmerizing in their search for meaning in their lives. It is fast becoming one of my all-time favorites.

Because the events of the film occur during the revolution in Mexico, one might be tempted to think of Old Gringo as an action oriented war film. Not so. It is a visual and emotional feast, a slice-of-life film that truly makes you feel what it must have been like for an American woman in a foreign country. The trio of actors, Jimmy Smits, Jane Fonda and Gregory Peck, are outstanding. Be prepared to think and feel. This is a rich feast indeed.

Tai-Pan is based on James Clavell’s novel. It is a saga of 19th century Hong Kong and a noble hero (Bryan Brown), a dastardly villain (John Stanton) and a woman, of course

Recommended for James Cavell’s fans (but the book TaiPan is better IMHO) and fans of early Hong Kong.

Gunner February, 2008

This film is a greatly condensed telling of Clavell’s novel Tai Pan. As such, it necessarily leaves out a great deal of the detail and many of the sub-plots contained in the excellent novel. This was unavoidable because the novel is intricate and complex. I am not sure that even a mini-series would have successfully encompassed the scope of the novel.

With that caveat, I enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would. The acting is generally quite good, and the story, while truncated, is coherent and interesting. This is the story of the birth of Hong Kong as an improbable British colony and outpost on Chinese soil. It is further the story of the rivalry between two great British trading houses: Noble House, and Brock & Sons. The latter conflict, which is more or less a bitter clan feud between two Scottish families, is well-told and interesting, and not too far off-track from the story told in the novel.

Within its necessary limitations, I thought that this was a pretty good film, well worth watching.

STUFF HAPPENS is a television series about the environment, set in the context of our everyday world, which was first shown on the Green Channel. I’d thought I was well informed about environmental issues, but I was completely boggled by the important information this DVD series presents concerning “stuff” we are doing to our planet and its ecosystems–stuff about which I didn’t have a clue. Yikes!

This show could be disheartening and depressing, but, believe it or not, it is actually the opposite; it is uplifting and entertaining. This is because it is the brainchild of Bill Nye, the Science Guy, who presents the segments. He has a wonderfully friendly, nerdy, enthusiastic, completely likable style of delivery that makes one believe maybe we CAN do something to reverse the massive harm we are doing to ourselves and our fellow life forms.

I intend to purchase a copy to donate to my local library. Please re-read the title. Every sentient human being above the age of eleven should have the opportunity of watching this DVD!

I eye many people have beat me to reviewing the movie, so I’ll review the DVD(s) . First of all, if you haven’t played the DVDs, you don’t know what you’re missing! Compare the greatest DVD you’ve seen before with either of these two and you’ll behold honest how many features we have here! The Collectors’ Series has features like the two theatrical trailers for MIB, visual (or audio) commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette, a behind-the-scenes gawk at the metamorphosis of MIB, the deconstruction of the tunnel scene, and studies of the 3 main CGI creatures: the Jeebs head transformation, the worm guys (carrying the cigarettes), the opening scene revelation of Mikey, extended and alternate scenes, a mess of storyboards, storyboard-to-film comparisons, behind-the-scenes photos, and conceptual art, and the music video. As you can stare, this is one CRAMMED single-layer disc. But only retract the so-called “Diminutive Edition” if you’re a DVD fan that will go to ends of the earth to rep a ridiculous amount of features (some of which you won’t even want) on a DVD (or two) for it. Also, only fetch it if you’re a reluctant DVD owner and you abhor having to peek movies in anything but fullscreen. Because all the Exiguous Edition has more is the fullscreen presentation, the Edgar Bug Fight scene deconstruction, a few extra conceptual art and the so-called “scene-editing workshop”. If you’re willing to pay so distinguished extra for only those features, feel free, but you can fetch 3/4 of the features of the Minute Edition on the Collectors’ Series and place a lot of money.

Wow! This exiguous edition isn’t minute in features. Disc one has the wide and fleshy cloak versions, visual commentry with Barry Sonnenfeld and Tommy Lee Jones and a technical audio commentry with Sonnenfeld, Rick Baker & the ILM team; this feature is odd to the exiguous edition version. Throw in the standards like the sound setups: English 5.1, english 2-channel (Dolby Surround) and french (Dolby Surround) and subtitles that include english, french, spanish, cantonese and mandarin, and that wraps up disc one! Disc Two is loaded! I can’t list them all or I will utilize up all my area, so I will list the major ones. There is a 3 scene editing workshop which allows you to become the filmmaker, so to voice. You regain to edit 3 chosen scenes that were filmed in a lot of different angles and then leer the final nick. Sonnenfeld will also descibe his beget editing process. Next, there is a Edgar bug fight scene deconstruction using different angles. Then you have “view to creation” creatures feature and art and production photo gallery. There are extended & deleted scenes, storyboard comparisons, a documentary, a music video, DVD & web links, trailers, talent files and more! Whew! I said there was a lot, and as you can gaze, I wasn’t exaggerating. Throw in a booklet and letter from Sonnenfeld and itsy-bitsy poster which may be signed by the artists and you have a DVD with enough features to hold you entertained and busy. Snappy, the transfer was stunning and, of course, the movie is broad. This movie was one of my well-liked Will Smith roles. Aside from the comedy woven into the script, the special effects were astronomical! This is a must have for any fan of the movie or silly book! Savor!

The Easter cartoon is not a very good example of the chipmunk cartoon as a whole. I thought it was a little over the top what Alvin did in the cartoon. It did end with a moral lesson though. The episode is more of an Alvin scheme than an Easter story. If you are wanting a stictly Easter story this one’s not for you, but if you’re a fan of the chipmunks it’s a good one for you. You also get some other episodes from the series on here that are fun to watch.

Nostalgic confrontation is a double-edged sword. While I never considered the Alvin and the Chipmunks as one of the top cartoons of my childhood it certainly ranked as one of the more memorable. Or so I’d thought. Oddly enough, I now know how little of the actual cartoon I remembered. The five classic episodes found on Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Mystery of the Easter Chipmunk each returned instantly to memory once they first few scenes played. But what I didn’t expect was how radically different the characters and moral lessons of the show came through.

My god, Alvin’s a bastard. That chipmunk has some serious ego problems. I present to you the following 5 exhibits as proof.

“The Easter Chipmunk”

Buy,Download, Or Stream Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Mystery of the Easter Chipmunk! Click Here

Upon learning that his grandfather could have been the inspiration for the Easter Bunny, Alvin sets out to debunk the Easter Bunny’s fame and bring a class action law suit against him. Yeah, the episode turns into a court drama at some point just so Alvin can possibly inherit the family business and fame from the senile grandfather.

“Snow Wrong”

The Chipmunks and the Chipettes join the production of Snow White only to have the Director’s bratty daughter replace the Alvin’s Chipette interest as the lead. Now you can imagine what that would inspire the 6 rodents to do. Granted the girl’s a brat but the revenge is just a few stops short of “Carrie”.

“Special Kind of Champion”

Perhaps the most straightforward and morally-centered episode of the entire series, Alvin agrees to coach an athlete to make up for his near failing grades in gym class. Little does Alvin know the athlete he’s now mentoring isn’t the “Olympic hopeful” he thought he was getting – but a “Special Olympics” athlete whose attitude is just what Alvin needs to repair his own bruised ego.

“Thinking Cap Trap”

When Simon grows frustrated with the incompetence of Theodore, Alvin and even human caretaker Dave he decides to create a hat that will give them intelligence equal to his own for an extended peiod of time. Seeing such great results, he applies for his family to appear as contestants on an IQ-based television game show. In the end we all learn something about what it means to be intelligent.

“Luck O’ the Chipmunks”

Just wow. There’s a painful bit of Irish stereotyping going on here but what the hell right? Why not? When the new Irish student befriends Theodore, he feels the need to convince the chipmunks that he has a Leprechaun that appears and grants wishes for him. Learning of this well of possible fortune, Alvin sets up a business. The catch: there’s no Leprechaun, it’s just the Irish boy running himself ragged to please everyone.

Each episode has a definite lesson it sets out to teach, but the ultimate question you have to ask has little to do with moral behavior but rather behavior at a basic level. Alvin acts like such a demonic little monster that you have to wonder why Dave doesn’t keep him chained up in the basement. We all despised the Jason Lee remake that came out a year ago – but I have to say that in retrospect maybe we were wrong to go after the adaptation with such a bloodlust.

Granted Alvin learns a lesson with each episode, the other two get theirs on occasion as well, making the cartoon an interesting fare to consider against today’s current deluge of Japanese-derived content that really comes with no message besides “crazy fighting monsters are wicked awesome cool!” It’s a mixed bag but well worth the nostalgic journey.

The DVD offers little in the way of Extra Features besides an additional trailer here or there.

Moral ambiguity plus classic cartoon animation makes Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Mystery of the Easter Chipmunk an interesting choice for your average parent. What do you value in a cartoon? Moral lessons? Entertainment? Behavioral role models?

Think of it this way – this is what my generation watched growing up. We’re not too messed up. Heck, we’re downright above average! The animation is just as you remember it and the voices are as ear-piercingly present as ever. Fun fact did you know that Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, and Futurama’s Tress MacNeille do some of the voices for the cartoon? That’s just awesome.

I had never even heard of Olmi before getting this film, which is odd since I’ve been exposed to many other italian postwar directors. Therefore, I FIDANZATI (The Fiances, or The Engaged) came as a complete surprise to me. The storyline, sometimes slow and wonderfully hypnotic in places, centers around the life of a construction worker who takes a job in Sicily and moves away from his fiance in northern Italy. It’s the classic romantic “abscence makes the heart grow fonder” storyline that is usually trite and banal. But somehow, amazingly, Olmi manages to pull it off, mainly through the great performances of the two leads and the brilliant editing towards the film’s conclusion, where they read letters and thoughts to one another in a way that distorts past, present, and future. Highly recommended, as is Criterion’s new editon of Olmi’s IL POSTO.

Criterion provide an 18 minute interview with Olmi, recorded in 2002, and the articulate and charming director provides insight into the genesis of his film – the industrialisation and economic boom in Italy in the 60’s saw an upheaval in traditional customs and family life, especially in the poor agricultural areas, such as much of Sicily (where part of the film is set); in the story this backdrop is counterpoised against the personal changes wrought upon a couple, separated by these circumstances. They begin in stubborn silence and end in a heart-warming blossoming of articulate expression of their emotions and aspirations – the change sweeping through the nation has had its effect upon them.

Olmi speaks of his interest in presenting time in a novel way; he hopes to dissolve the distinctions between past, present and future, and segue from one to the next seamlessly, expecting the audience to intelligently follow his cues, and in so doing suggest the internal flow of time for his protagonist. I think he succeeds, and the film becomes, if anything, more realistic through this fluid depiction of time.
*
The cinematography is wonderful, whether in its intimacy, or in its handling of spectacular views of industrial plants. So too the pacing of scenes, the opening in particular being a joy of accumulated surprises, the tension building until the viewer is as eager for the musicians to play as the would-be dancers upon the screen.

Again in the interview, his collaborator speaks of Olmi’s technical mastery of all aspects of film-making, his complete and utter disregard of commercial success, and his adherence to a policy of being honest with himself. He made documentaries of the working people, and early on committed himself to the production of quality informative material for television, even when the latter meant interfering with, the more lucrative, ventures into feature film.

*

So here is a work of art from a master film-maker – utterly engaging and formally accomplished, with insight into the social situation of his country at the time, told through the guise of a satisfying traditional love story. Criterion provide their customary perfect transfer and the mentioned bonus material. Every bit as good as, and very much a companion piece to Il Posto, I Fidanzati is something of a neglected masterpiece.

I remember watching this series on A&E television back in the 1980’s. At the time I knew practically nothing about WW I. This show is very interesting and gets 5 stars for being complete without overwhelming the viewer. Each segment is about 22 minutes in length which made a half hour show on A&E with commericals. It is even better without them. The show takes in all areas of the war including the failed British and Australian invasion of the Daranelles and the disaster on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. Robert Ryan’s narration is excellent and his being an actor only adds to his narration abilities. If you want to really get a good understanding of WW 1 and it’s causes and results, this is the dvd set for you.

The Complete Story of World War Iis a comprehensive look at The War To End All Wars. Produced by CBS television in the early 1960s and narrated by actor Robert Ryan, this unflinching 26 episode series rates right up with Victory At Sea as an early television war documentary. From the political intrigues that led nations to war, to life in the trenches, to the first air battles, all the way to the sad end, television just doesn’t get much better than this. World War 1 was the first war able to be truly documented on motion camera. I’m glad this documentary was produced while the then almost fifty year old film was still viable. Who knows if it still even exists today. Highly recommended for history and war buffs.

These cartoons were produced in 3 waves:

1964 to 1969 – 62 classic cartoons were produced at this time for theaters. These are the best of the batch and truly creative, some winning awards. In 1969 the Pink Panther was retired and sold to Television with The Inspector for a half-hour Saturday Morning show on NBC. (Remember that classic Pink Panther car shown in the opening titles?)

Buy,Download, Or Stream The Pink Panther Classic Cartoon Collection! Click Here

1971 to 1977 – 30 more cartoons were produced for theaters, bringing the Pink Panther out of theatrical retirement. These were a little more hit & miss that the first wave of cartoons. Still being produced for theaters, they had more time & money to produce these than the next wave. The same first wave directors worked on this wave. These also got sprinkled into the Saturday Morning TV show after their theatrical run.

1978 to 1980 – 32 cartoons were produced for the 1978 Pink Panther TV show on a limited budget & short time period. New directors were brought in to assist the original directors with the increased one year work load. The drop in quality shows on these shorts, you feel like you are watching a Saturday Morning cartoon. These quickly made, low budget cartoons were then re-packaged to theaters over three years.

Non of these cartoons were ever shot widescreen, so it is good that this DVD will be presented full frame.

Some improvements over the previous “Jet Pink” DVD cartoon collection:

All 1960’s cartoons have improved fidelity soundtracks.

PINK PHINK has the original theme song restored on the end credits.

JET PINK has vast picture & sound improvements & original titles are restored.

IN THE PINK OF THE NIGHT has the correct colors in the opening titles.

Some bad notes:

1) A sampling of some of my favorite cartoons revealed some to have the TV laugh track: PINK BLUEPRINT, PSYCHEDELIC PINK, PINK TUBA-DORE. There are probably more. The DVD capabilities should have allowed us to watch each cartoon with either soundtrack as an option! Also a ‘music only’ sound track would have been nice.

2) You will need Jerry Beck’s “Pink Panther Ultimate Guide to the Coolest Cat In Town” book (sold here on Amazon.com) to guide you through the cartoons you want to watch. The title list on this DVD with the generic “Pink ….” titles that these cartoons have will not help you find that ‘toon you want to watch.

3) The storage case is poorly designed, disc 2 rests on top of disc 3 & disc 4 rests on top of disc 5. If you want to view Discs 3 or 5, you have to take the top disc off first (find a safe non scratching place to put it) and then remove the disc you want to watch. Then replace the above disc so that it doesn’t get damaged.

You may want to invest in some extra cases to save the discs from future damage.

HINT: PLACE DISCS 4 & 5 UNDER DISCS 2 & 3, they have the later 1970’s cartoons that you will probably not watch much. This way they are out of the way.

His “Little Shop…” is the story of a nebbish (Jonathan Haze) who nurtures a weird plant into an enormous man-eater.

In “Swamp Women,” an undercover policewoman helps three female inmates escape prison so they can lead her to a stash of diamonds hidden in a creepy swamp (parts of which are a semi-disguised swimming pool). This two-bit Corman chickfest has “Little Shop’s” star, Jonathan Haze, in a minor role as a pickpocket.

“Tormented” is the story of a man haunted by the ghost of an ex-girlfriend, whose plunge to her death from an old lighthouse he could have prevented. “World Gone Mad” is a so-so crime-drama about the search for a District Attorney’s killer.

Mrs. Dalloway Reviews and Downloads. Movie Title: Mrs. Dalloway Average customer review: Mrs. Dalloway is available for streaming or downloading. Click Here to Stream or Download Mrs. Dalloway

This 1997 film stars Vanessa Redgrave as Mrs. Dalloway, the Englishwoman introduced in Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel. The book used stream of consciousness to create an interior monologue for her heroine and the film is true to that, a voice-over narration letting the viewer know her interior thoughts as she goes about preparing for a party in 1923.

Mrs. Dalloway is now in her sixties, but there are flashbacks to an earlier time, when she was a young woman being pursued by beaus. She has made her choices now and has married a cabinet member and leads a comfortable life as his charming wife. In her youth she rejected the suitor who looked for adventure in India as well as the tentative hint of a friendship with a woman, which might have gone further. When both of them show up at her party, her memories surface. There’s also a sub-story of a young man who has been shell-shocked from combat in The Great War and the theme of suicide runs strong throughout the plot. Even though he and Mrs. Dalloway never meet, it is clear why this character was introduced. And it is also interesting to note that Virginia Woolf herself committed suicide in 1941 at the age of 59.

Casting is excellent, acting superb. Everything is understated but yet very very clear. I also loved the cinematography and the setting of a very proper London in 1923, especially the costumes. The theme is universal as we all do look back on our lives and wonder what might have been. Also, at only 97 minutes long, the video was exactly the right length. Definitely recommended.

If you are a fan of either the novel or film The Hours, then reading and watching Mrs. Dalloway is a must. The Hours was Virginia Woolf’s original title for Mrs. Dalloway. Michael Cunningham cleverly took that title and turned into a novel that matches Mrs. Dalloway for its shear beauty. But this is a movie review and I can tell you that Vanessa Redgrave is brilliant in the title role. She should have been nominated for an Oscar at the very least. A day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, planning a party, remembering her life and loves. It’s a lovely adaptation from Woolf’s novel. And of course begins with “Mrs. Dalloway decided she would buy the flowers herself.” Buy this yourself. You won’t regret it.
