McDreamy!!!!
I own Season 1 and 2.Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Katherine Keigl, etc., great show!I have everyone in my family including my friends addicted to it!!!Buy it, you won't regret it.

I got hooked on "Grey's Anatomy" late...
The DVD was a great way to catch up.Grey's is turning out to be one of my all-time favorite shows.There's good characterization, drama and a lot of interesting medical cases.
Addicting show
I recently bought season 1 of Grey's Anatomy. I think the show is great.I am not much of a tv watcher but this show peaked my interest.It has many great actors in the show, especially Chandra Wilson. She is a powerful actress.The cast is diverse and the show keeps you wanting more. I just ordered the 2nd season and I can't wait to watch that one too.Its nice to find good shows on tv once again. ... Read more

Great movie, but not as good as the book
I don't really believe there's more than 10 people in the world that haven't seen the movie or read the book, so probably not a big audience for this review.
The silliest story ever told
This film has to be one of the most ridiculous ever made.It is an incoherent, baffling and tedious tale about some vast conspiracy by the Catholic Church to cover up the truth about Jesus (that he was married to Mary Magdalene and had offspring), and apparently just about everything that has ever happened in world history since has been caused by this continuing cover-up.I have seldom seen a film both so ridiculous and so boring.It is slow, dull, pretentious and almost entirely incomprehensible.It is depressing to think that the novel on which this film is based has been a massive best-seller.Absolute drivel from beginning to end.

Better than You Might Think
The DaVinci Code deserved better reviews than it received from the critics. Ron Howard did a good job of condensing a very long and complex plot into a comprehensible movie of reasonable length. Tom Hanks does an excellent job of portraying the American symbologist who is suspected of murder, and Audrey Tatou is an excellent counterpart to Hanks. I didn't even mind Tom's hair--it seemed appropriate for his character. My husband, who had not read the book, had no problems following the plot, whereas I, who have read the book, am impressed that they managed to get as much of the book in there as they did. Forget the controversy about the book; don't even think of the idea that the main premise might be true, and concentrate on enjoying the movie. ... Read more

This is not what one would expect
As one who watched when Prairie Home Companion was broadcast by PBS and listened on the radio for the rest of the years I was not impressed by this DVD.I listen to Prairie Home Companion because it is uplifting and entertaining.This movie is slow and depressing and the only thing I found of value was the music tracks on the bonus menus.I received more enjoyment from the 30 year anniversary DVD.This movie did not reflect the values and talents of the radio broadcast.However, it may be a good indication of what is coming to the show.

That Lake Wobegon Sensibility Comes to the Screen.
"A Prairie Home Companion" takes its title from the syndicated radio variety show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor that can probably be found once a week on your local public radio station. The show is taped before a live audience in the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. This movie is a look backstage during a fictional final show. The real show is alive and well, although it did take a hiatus in 1987 that lasted several years. I've never been a fan of director Robert Altman, because, as he is the first to say, he's not interested in stories. He is interested in behavior. I, on the other hand, find behavior meaningless without the context of an interesting story to make it bearable. But Robert Altman was a good choice to direct Garrison Keillor's script for "A Prairie Home Companion", which also favors behavior over story. But Keillor doesn't like neuroses, which counterbalances Altman's tendency toward the neurotic. The film is sustained by its cast and its tone -a reserved, frank, good-natured sensibility that it borrows from its real-life namesake.
I Won't Be Buying It, But It Had Its Moments
"A Prairie Home Companion" is directed by legendary director Robert Altman ('Short Cuts' & "McCabe & Mrs. Miller') and features a huge cast of stars. They include Woody Harrelson ('The People Vs. Larry Flynt'), Lindsay Lohan ('Just My Luck'), Lily Tomlin ('Short Cuts'), Meryl Streep ('The Devil Wears Prada'), John C. Reilly ('Gangs of New York'), Kevin Kline ('The Ice Storm'), Tommy Lee Jones ('The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada'), and Virginia Madsen ('Sideways'). A Prairie Home Companion was, apparently, a famous radio show and this is a fictionalized version of it's final broadcast. Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly play Dusty and Lefty, two cowboys who perform songs and jokes. Lohan plays the daughter of Streep's character, Jones plays The Axe Man; Who's heading over to the stadium to announce it's being shut down, Tomlin plays Lohan's aunt and Streep's sister, Kline plays Guy Noir, a security guard, who talks like a guy straight from a film-noir. I'll get to Virginia Madsen in a moment. The movie is, to say the least, short-on-plot. In fact, the film focuses to much on the music and not enough on the story. Some of the characters are good, but thinly drawn and out of place. Virgina Madsen, basically, plays The Angel of Death and is a completely unneeded character. I love Madsen, but this character is to out-of-place and to symbolic to be here. Kline gets a few genuine laughs and Tomlin, Lohan, and Streep are charming enough to pull off the roles. It's Harrelson and Reilly that steal the show as Dusty and Lefty. I only laughed a few times during the film, but most of those laughs were because of them. The movie isn't bad, but it's a disappointment considering the talent involved (although, everyone tries their best). I'm going to break it down like this...If you like the music, you'll like the movie. If you don't, you won't.

Discomfort and Realism Have Never Been So Funny
The Office almost didn't succeed.It wasn't because it wasn't funny (it is), wasn't well-acted (it is), or due to poor reviews (critics loved it); people were too afraid that it would pale in comparison to the British series of the same name upon which this show is based.Also, it is a very different style of comedy, which is a huge turn-off to people who are comfortable with the numerous (read: cookie cutter) sitcoms that flood the airwaves each year (Arrested Development fans know what I'm talking about).Anyway, with only a 6 episode first season, things looked pretty grim.Fortunately, the show was able to stay on the air long enough to win over a respectable fanbase, and now it looks like it will be here for a while.But about that first season...
The Beginning of Someting Incredible!!!!!
If you want someting new, something fresh, something different; The Office, season 1, is for you!Not incorporating your regular "set up and punch line" comedy, this show will definatly have you laughing out loud.
The season that started it all
Office hype is all over the media these days.The show won an emmy and Steve Carrell is "hot" right now.So, if you've become a fan of the show during the second or third season, you need to buy this DVD so you can see where it all began.

Editorial Review

This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Read more

Fun filled witchy romp!
I have loved this movie ever since my mom took me to see it in the theater when I was 6 years old. Ever since (even after I was allowed to watch actual scary halloween movies) this has been my very favorite movie to put in the DVD player, pop some popcorn and have fun.
Favorite Holloween Movie
I absolutely love the movie Hocus Pocus! It was the first Holloween movie I was ever allowed to see and remains my favorite Holloween movie ever!! I always have it in the Dvd player and always have it playing. I love the whole Salem story line. I even have a black cat I named Binx!

Kids seem to love it
My son and neice just love this movie, they watch it over and over.I give it a 3 because they love it but it just puts me to sleep with boredom trying to watch it. ... Read more

less exciting than other seasons
First of all , i'm a die hard Sopranos fan . I own all 5 seasons . Seasons 1-5 were all pretty good , some standing out more than others . My favorite episode was Seasons 3 Pine Barrens . Anyway , season 6 was pretty dissappointing for me . The Vito storyline was drawn out way to long . Everyone knew he was gay , but they seemed to devote half the episodes just to vito . They coulda tied that story up in one , maybe two episodes . It seemed the writer was trying ride off the success of Brokeback Mountain .Tonys near death experience was pretty good touch though . Especially the changes he made after his coma . Anyway , I hope the next half is better .

Half the season, half the quality of previous seasons...
Season six, part one?Trying to make money due to a hiatus that should not have occurred, but who could blame them.However, I would of just called it quits on season six with 12 episodes and have a final season seven.I hope that when season six part two comes out, we will have the option of buying the complete season instead of buying part one and part two.As far as season six, it is by far not the best and this is regrettably being said by one of greatest Sopranos fans there are.I have always liked the writing, the acting and the plot.In fact, episode one of season six is one of the best episodes ever made, but for the most part of season six, part one, it has been lackluster to the point of almost boring on occasions.Yes, there were some good plot twists, some great acting and some very good writing that deals with subject matter not normally associated with this genre of television or movies.My rating of this box set or the first 12 episodes is a comparison with the first five "full" seasons in which I own the box sets.The show is aging, maturing to the point where you know you are being led to its finale.What the show is doing well is that it is not leaving really any clues as to what to expect for part two--which my hope is that the show rebounds and finishes with a literal bang.God save Tony and please give us a movie for the real finale.For those of you, I hope you TIVO'd the first 12 episodes like I did, that way you don't have to buy "part one" and wait for the entire season to end and hopefully be able to buy the entire season for about the same price.

Still the Sexiest Show
This show is completely inexplicable to me.Despite the fact that the people and the stories are so evil and sick, it still turns me on.I cannot figure out why, but I just know it's true.Tony, I love you!I can't help it.I'll probably keep loving you even after somebody whacks you! ... Read more

How do I play The Royal LIfe ?
I love the movie! I just have one problem. I can't seem to be able to play The Royal Life from Disc 2? I put it in my computer and clicked on The Royal Life and it just gives me a summary of what it's about and then tells me to insert the dvd-rom. Does someone know how to do this?

Better than Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Cinderella is the film that saved the Walt Disney Company.
Walt Disney's Best Movie
Disney made its mark as a major studio in 1937 with its first full-length feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Ironically, given this early success, Snow White was their only hit movie for the next 13 years. World War II kicked the hell out of Disney's overseas markets. Even movies today regarded as classic Disney - Pinnochio, Bambi, Fantasia - lost money on initial release. Disney eked through by diversifying into training films for the US government, and the South American films that were part of FDR's Good Neighbor policy, etc. - stuff that made back its costs but not much more. By 1948, Disney was in dire financial straits. They had just enough money for one more movie. Walt Disney realized he needed a hit or his studio probably wouldn't survive, and it would have to be what they did best: a full-length animated feature film. Walt said to himself, "What we need is a movie about a girl in trouble. Audiences love that. They loved Snow White." That's what he wanted: a movie like Snow White, but even more so - more comedy, more drama, more magic, more music, more lovable characters. He chose as the basis of his company's Hail Mary pass arguably the most famous fairy tale in the world: Cinderella.

Editorial Review

Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Even if one isn't particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot).

SOUNDS GREAT - LOOKS GREAT & IT'S GOT ROBIN WILLIAMS & AN EXCITING PLOT TOO!
IN A NUTSHELL: A WHOLE NEW WORLD & IT INCLUDES ROBIN WILLIAMS AS THE GENIE
Excellent Disney Fun For The Whole Family. Great Story, Wonderful Voice Cast And Classic Songs Make This A Diamond In The Rough.
Walt Disney Pictures struck gold yet again (as they've done since 1937, when Walt Disney released the comnpany's first animated feature film "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs") with another delightful animated family film, a classic alongside "Beauty And The Beast," "The Lion King," "Toy Story" and many other Disney favorites. The story is timeless, like "Beauty And The Beast" and "The Lion King" so I won't summarize it. "Come on down, stop on by. Hop a Carpet And Fly To Another Arabian Night." Be prepared to discover "A Diamond In The Rough." The special features (beginning on Disc 1 and continued on Disc 2), along with the movie, are "A treasure-trove of riches" destined to please everyone. The voice cast includes Linda Larkin, Scott W., Jonathan Freeman, Gilbert Gottfried and Robin Williams. I love this movie. Rated G.

the trend lives on
by 1992 and aladdin's release disney was riding high with such hits as "the little mermaid" and "beauty and the beast." disney carried on it's trend with this fun filled adventure.aladdin was truely a great additiion to the disney cannon because of strenght and subtleties.

Well done!

Love this new edition
I am thrilled to get this 10th Anniversary edition and the book that comes with it as I am a great fan of this particular version of Pride & Prejudice.Only one thing disappointed me however .... I don't care for the way the discs are stored in the set.They are slid inbetween a cardboard envelope and it took alot of skill for me to get them out without feeling like I was scratching them up against the cardboard.I much rather prefer when the discs are easily snapped into a case as I feel they are better protected. Other than that, this is truly worth purchasing,if not for the book & bonus disc alone, which do not come with the 2-dvd original version.Buy it ... you won't be sorry!

A great and true adaptation of an amazing novel.
I saw this when it first came out on the BBC. (I lived in England)I have to say it is one of those dramas that I will watch and watch and watch again.I love the characters and I think that the casting is one of the best. Jane Austen of course must be given the credit of a great story.But I commend the adaptation and staying true to the book.I read the novel after watching the film and was amazed by how well it stuck to the story.I love the settings and the views but I am an English country girl at heart so I would.But it is a true love story that can bring hope that we can all find our own Mr. Darcy. ...

It's still one of the sweetest kisses onscreen, up there with Bergman and Grant, Bogey and Bacall: the moment when pampered purebred Lady and streetwise mongrel Tramp, sharing a moonlit plate of spaghetti in an alley behind an Italian café, unknowingly slurp the same strand, and suddenly find their mouths meeting in surprise and tenderness. Ah, puppy love. Read more

Lady and the Tramp....Going into the Vault!
Disney has announced that in January the Lady and the Tramp DVD will be put into the vault!

The Most Romantic of All Disney Films
I fell in love with this movie when I was little, back in 1955 when "Lady and the Tramp" first came to the theaters, and am probably one of the few who can actually remember seeing the promo show, "The Story of Dogs" on the old Disneyworld TV series from the early 50's.I actually had the rare privildge of being taken twice!To this day, it remains my all-time favorite Disney film, favorite dog film, and continues to charm, amuse, and move me to tears.
Romantic Comedy Goes to the Dogs
Lady and the Trap has been an enduring Disney classic for 50 years now and it's amazing how well it holds up after all that time.The hand painted animation is beautiful and the story and music are top notch.This film is an example of Disney animation at its classic best.
