Little House On the Prairie Season 10
The Little House Movies,Bless All TheChildren,Look Back to Yesterday and The Last Farewell are in there.I wish the Pilot and The Thanksgiving clip movie special was in there.

Best series in the history of television
Why do I call this the "Best series in the history of television"?...because it's BIG in heart and soul, the characters and stories have TREMENDOUS depth, and it's not bogged down by the politics of your typical western, or typical show for that matter.The storylines could go anywhere, and focus on anyone, or anything.There didn't have to be a villain of the week, a murder, etc.Come to think of it, this is one of the most "murder-less" westerns I have ever seen.If people died, it was more from life's hardships in the 1800's than from anything else.

You should not be allowed to laugh this much.
I first saw these three years and years ago when my girlfriend (now my ex-wife) dragged me to the theatre to see them.I was glad she did.I looked for these for a long time and when I purchased this set I found that these movies were just as funny now as they were when I first saw them.
The Trinity Collection
The movies and stories are classic westerns, the quality is horrible, these are not remastered.It looks like they found the oldest copy of the film and transfered it to DVD.If I didn't like the actual movies, I would not buy knowing the quality.

Awesome actors, awesome show, awesome set!
This is a must have for any Bruce Campbell fan.Even if your not a fan of Bruce's work try this anyhow it's one of the best shows ever on TV!!!Way ahead of it's time!!! Once you start watching it you can't stop!! Ride on Brisco!

great
this was a great show to grow up to, even though it was only on for two years.I was a little too young to get some of the humor, but I loved themood and the action sequences as well as the theme song!Whenever I hear the song, it makes me feel like a superhero and it reminds me of the good times I had watching the show as a kid.

Great Little Sci Fi Western
What a great show. Has a funny and entertaining story that continues thru the episodes. Excellent writting. Great sets. Just an all out fun little western to watch. Great for kids and adults alike. A set of DVDs that will be handed down for years to come. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn's uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you get the idea.

Oh the camptown lady sing this song dooda dooda!
so hilariously funny. bart (clevon little) plays one of the slaves and becomes the first black sherriff that offends the white town of rockridge and his first white friend jim (gene wilder) who is reffered to as the waco kid. No one would except the new sherriff and the bad guys would try to kill him buy sending mongo or lili von shtup. So funny that melbrooks should keep doing more and more funniest movies. another old movie of the late 70s but very good I give it 5 stars.

An important work of art
(4.5/5 stars) This film is so good because we all know people who are racist or who harbor prejudices against an ethnic or religious group. Brooks lays all of this bare and then confronts this bigotry directly by making a black man and his Jewish partner the heroes of the movie. True, the Gentiles don't fair very well in the movie because it seems every one of them winds up being portrayed as racist, mindless or both. As a Gentile, this does not bother me because I believe the point Brooks was trying to make is that during the period in which this film takes place, the 19th century, the white majority largely viewed the non-white minority as second class. Certainly there were enlightened people who earnestly believed all races and classes should share the same privileges, but this was after the Civil War and long before the era of Civil Rights. Blacks were free, but were very far from being accepted in business or as part of white society as a whole. It is within this setting that Brooks devises an astute commentary on the topic of race relations. When the Governor (Brooks) makes Bart (Cleavon Little) sheriff (as part of a self-serving plan, incidentally), no one takes it seriously because the town sheriff is a person the townsfolk respect and upon whom they rely (or at least hoped) for safety. How will these whites come to terms with having a sheriff they do not respect, and whom they view as being naturally inferior and therefore incapable of protecting them? This is not one of those condescending, guilt-ridden movies that white people make wherein the black man with a heart of gold is redeemed at the end only because a sympathetic white character shows him some pity. (See: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Green Mile, etc.)No, in this movie, the black characters are seen as being clever, intelligent and talented enough to redeem themselves based on their own terms. Yes, there are racial epithets and stereotypes that are offensive and politically incorrect; however, these are used to illustrate the ignorance and intolerance of the offender rather than as a valid way of inciting the offended. Much of the humor is sophomoric and scatological, so one's appreciation of the film will likely be in direct proportion to one's proclivity for such humor. Listen for Frankie Laine singing the title song and watch for a cameo by Count Basie. The finale is rather weak and I wish Brooks would have ended it before it spilled over the set, which is why I stop short of giving it five stars. The anniversary DVD is presented in anamorphic widescreen and looks great.

Nobody is not Trinity butbetter.
I am sure that if you are looking at this then you are a fan of the trinity movies.The Nobody character is based on Trinity but with much more refined.Terence Hill's Nobody has a certain directness and isa much fuller character.Henry Fonda's career in spaghetti westerns often gets overlooked and that is a real shame.If you compare this to his portrayal of Wyatt Earp then you can see that the love of the western never left him.This is much more the Fonda that one loves rather than the villian in "Once upon a Time in The West" (itself a great film).I love showing this to people that have never seen it. They usally like it and then I move on the the Trinity films.

Hang on for (to) Dear Life
Coming up with any description for `The Proposition' will be precarious for deterring an audience, and that's a shame.Startlingly brutal, this film takes place in the Outback of Australia during the 1880's, so it really should be called an Eastern, rather than a Western.A revenge story with a vengeance, Captain Morris (Ray Winstone) vows, "I will civilize this land."He's the British equivalent of the partakers of Manifest Destiny and the typical new sheriff, trying to bring law and order in the dry, forsaken land. His iron hand makes the cure seem worse than the lawless contagion.
An Ultimate Western
There's nothing like a good western and "The Proposition" delivers the sharp-shooting goods non-stop.Director John Hillcoat has a true knack for thrusting the feel and grit of the Australian Outback in your face and keeping it there.From the first moment of a hardcore gunfight, we soon learn that Capt. Stanley has captured two of the four Burns brothers, noted for their murderous and especially heinous past.The Captain's proposition is for Brother Charlie to find and kill his older brother, Arthur.Otherwise, he will kill his younger brother, Mikey.Thus, Charlie ventures to the Outback.The large scale cinematography makes one feel like dirt is in your mouth and death is at your door.This is not for the timid, as Hillcoat bloodies the landscape just as much as any Clintwood western.It's graphic as hell.The final act shouldn't be a surprise, but Hillcoat pulls off a stunt of `switch and bait' that will make you laugh with shock even as you shake your head in disbelief.This is a classic western by way of a rough, vicious and clever Australia.

Best Doggone Western In The Southern Hemisphere
This 2005 Australian film hit limited theatres in the US last May without much fanfare. Too bad for the filmmakers, because they could have probably done a lot better than a $2 million box office if had they marketed the movie a little bit better. And too bad for the American movie going public, because a much larger audience should have been treated to one of the best movies of the past 2 years.

A charming tale of forbidden love
Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger (in that order) give a great performance in this Hollywood epic tale of forbidden love. With this movie you get all the best of Hollywood technology, scenery, audio, video, casting and acting. The story in my opinion gets a little long and drawn out, losing some of it's appeal potential. It consists of a 20 year relationship of two cowboys who fall in love in 1963 while herding sheep together in Wyoming. These two break the rules wherever necessary to share their romance known only to them and their clueless wives who eventually figure it out but don't know how to bring up the subject. As their marriages become strained over the years, their love for each other continues to grow, but can never become the full time relationship they crave. The story could have in my opinion been written much better for a screenplay. I think most anyone could have written a better ending for this saga, but that is nothing new for Hollywood. No matter how many millions of dollars they spend to make the perfect movie, none of them seem to know how to end one. If the subject matter of this film offends you, you WILL NOT want to see this one. Although it never gets explicitly graphic with the sex scenes, there's enough there to offend opponents of such film subject matter. All in all, I enjoyed the movie on DVD. I do not have a widescreen television, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary on this widescreen version. Perhaps someone with a widescreen could better review this version. Beautiful scenery from Wyoming and mostly Canada. Great nostalgic representation. I recommend watching Brokeback Mountain if you are into gay romance. It is thought provoking and realistic for the era it represents.

Almost a masterpiece, but not for everybody's taste...
I found this a little too long, a little too slow, a little too sad to rate five stars. Worth seeing once, it is an honorable effort to portray the power of forbidden love between two modern-day cowboys who would obviously vote Republican on all but gay issues, and perhaps even on some of those. Now that the film is a couple of years old, I think it is safe to reveal that one of the leads does not survive the film. That was the most disappointing part...we come to care about the men, yet one passes from this world with only the briefest of depictions. I was surprised it did not win the Oscar as best film, but the awards were given out before I saw the movie. Now that I have seen it, I think it can be fairly called one of the ten best films of its year, and one of the three most talked about, but not deserving of the top honor for its season. Good performances for sure, but the script could have used some trimming and some punch.

Almost love ... but reality strikes!

Comparison with the First Season
I've never seen "Deadwood" on TV, but I just watched Seasons 1 and 2 of the DVDs back to back. Season 1 is better, because it gives a much stronger sense of moral ambiguity. In Season 1, Al Swearengen is a brutal villain whose frequent response to problems is to have the person causing them killed and fed to a local butcher's pigs; or at least badly beaten up. But he occasionally does fine things for the wrong reasons. Like organizing (and paying handsomely for) a run for vaccine and an isolation tent to save Deadwood from a severe smallpox epidemic--because it would be bad for Swearengen's business.
1st season far superior than 2nd season
The writers seem to lose their way right from the first episode of the 2nd season.Characters become bedridden for too long to be interesting, promising characters and plot-lines from the first season are left dangling, and the death of the boy seemed out of step (what exactly was the point of that development?).Apparently the main writers changed after the first season and I suspect that offers at least some explanation.
Powerful and unique, Deadwood series is one to remember
With Season 2 of the HBO western series "Deadwood", we're reacquainted with old friends, while meeting some new ones at the same time.Scoundrels abound, life is only as precious as it can be, since death was really creeping around every corner back then, and you didn't have a cell phone to call 9-11!

Editorial Review

Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, aging cowboys and former Texas rangers and who organize a 2,500 mile cattle drive for one last great adventure in this excellent 1989 miniseries adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel. The best friends, who steal the herd from a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers, drive their herd from Texas to Montana, battling horse thieves, angry Indian tribes, and a renegade half-breed killer named Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest) on a mission of revenge. The excellent cast also includes Robert Urich as cardsharp and former Ranger Jake Spoon, Anjelica Huston as McCrae's old flame Clara Allen, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, Diane Lane, Chris Cooper, D.B. Sweeney, Steve Buscemi, and even a small role for author Larry McMurtry. Australian director Simon Wincer shows a tremendous capacity for balancing sweeping drama and intimacy against the gorgeous landscape of the American Southwest, giving a grandly epic feel to the film despite its small-screen target and limited budget, and for forging memorable characters of even the smallest supporting parts. The heart of the drama belongs to McCrae and Call, memorably etched by Duvall and Jones as the last of the range romantics. In the age of revisionist Westerns, this excellent cattle-drive drama nicely maintains an old-fashioned feeling while still showing the dark side of the American West.

this DVD stinks....extremely poor resolution ...remaster soon?
Hi folks,
"What kind of an education is that?"
Best series, movie, western of all time, period.The story is impeccable the acting is perfectly done, still the best roles that Tommy Lee and Duvall have ever done. Impossible to watch it without crying, even if its your 10th time watching it.I totally agree with other comments that the dvd needs to be remastered as the picture is not great and it is not in 5.1 sound.since it was shot for tv, I think it was only filmed in standard, non widescreen format which is tragic.But the story still is told wonderfully.Totally agree that having the actors comment on the making (though 6 hours would require a big commitment from the actors) would be awesome as well as a general cleanup of the dvd.

Wonderful
I don't expect anything more of a movie than to enjoy it and be entertained. I don't seek to psychoanalyze or offer up in-depth critique, it's only a movie. I either enjoy it or I don't. I enjoyed this immensely. I just can't find a single thing wrong with it and never tire of it. It's fantastic. It's an extraordinary story with an extraordinary cast. ... Read more

Easy-way-out for so-called "realism"
You want realism of the Old West? Try showing people frequently blowing big wads of snot out their nose and hawking green loogies onto the floor or into their sleeves, because they didn't have tissues. Try having the actors and actresses go for a couple of months without washing their hair so it's nice and greasy, and not brushing their teeth with toothpaste so their mouths are scuzzy and black.
Almost perfect
First-class acting, fascinating from start to finish--hey, two episodes in and I'm already hooked.Except . . . where is the historicial documentation to back up the excessive, commonplace and redundant use of an epithet that rhymes with 'socksuckers'?I mean really, that's just sophomoric.Also, I never learned in college that anti-semitism was such a problem on the frontier!I mean, it's so anachronistic as to be laughable.Don't get me wrong--I love Sol's character.And it might just be a coincidence that production staff have last names like Feinberg and Guggenheim.And it might be a coincidence that, totally unrelated to Deadwood, SKG Dreamworks stands for Spielberg, Katzenberg and Geffen, and surely it's a coincidence that Bob and Harvey Weinstein productions dominate the industry and the Oscars, even.So, you might ask, isn't there really, after all, [...]?HOW DARE YOU EVEN ASK!DON'T EVEN THINK IT!And if you've ever wondered about a gay mafia in Hollywood, try to overlook extensive evidence in other HBO productions like 'Six Feet Under' and 'Sex in the City.'NOT THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THAT, right?Hey, lighten up.Too much political correctness is hard on the brain.Anyways, good old Lovejoy is fun to watch in this, eating up the screen.Deadwood is killer entertainment, plain and simple.

Excellent writing, for grown-ups
I was looking for a good western movie I hadn't seen, but not finding anything that caught my interest, I thought I'd try Deadwood.I'm glad I did.

Little House on the Prairie Rules!!
"Oh, mum!!" I said when we were shopping for a dvds to watch together.... Little House on the Prairie it was called..... they would of been the last dvds I would of picked to watch then but..... seemed like minutes but was atually hours later I was glued to Little House on the Prairie. Thanks to my mum or should I say Micheal Landon and help from his team staff for making,directing,producing Little House on the Prairie. I will always always remember Little House on the Prairie no matter what... lastly I remember when I was a little younger my histroy teacher said 'would you ever have gone back in time?' well at the time I said no but I think most people reading this will know and understand that my answer now is YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

Poor quality transfer
I'm very surprised that this product has as high a rating as it does, I suppose most are simply glad the show is available on DVD.However, the transfer to DVD is absolutely horrible.On an opening night shot on disc 1, there is so much junk on the film that one would think one was seeing lightning bugs -- inside the house!The colors on these prints aren't even as good as what is shown on TVLand.This show might be 30 years old, but they cannot be using the best prints available.There is another irritating tip-off of the cheapness of this package -- the music on the closing credits is wrong -- or is this my imagination?
The best series ever made!
I've read several reviews that give the quality of the production of the DVD's a bad taste.I say I have to disagree.When I watch them on my DVD player, they sound just fine.Yes, I have noticed that they cut out some of the crucial opening and closing credits and that does get frustrating if you want to figure out who guest starred on the episode you are watching but it's not a big deal to me.I appreciate that they cut out some of that so that when you watch each episode (each episode is it's own chapter), you get right to the show and don't have to listen to the theme song each time.

The joy of fabled Old Ireland.4 ½ Stars
John Wayne, like most of us, had a space in his heart for the joys of the fabled Emerald Isle.
An Irish fable well told
This review applies to the "Collector's Edition DVD": Four+ stars for the movie, which - while it has little to do with the Ireland of history, has much to do with the Ireland of fable. John Ford and his remarkable cast capture the spirit of that latter Ireland and spread it across the screen. Wayne and O'Hara are close to perfect, and the star-studded cast play their fabled Ireland beautifully. About the only quibble I have with the movie itself is that during the great donnybrook the film was speeded up to make the action faster, and it's pretty obvious.
AUDIO TRACK OUT OF SYNC!
Of course the 2 star rating is for the DVD transfer, not the movie, which is one of John Ford's and Wayne's best, but it seems all the other bad reviews spend so much time commenting on the poor picture quality that no one seems to have noticed the entire audio track is out of sync!!It's noticeable throughout, particularly when characters speak quickly.I gave a 2 rating instead of 1 (but would prefer 1.5) because, although the transfer is not good, many of the shots retain their beauty - particularly the landscapes.Where the problem arises is in the red and facial tones.Terrible.Still, the movie is so good, I laughed out loud many times."Impetuous!Homeric!" ...

VERY ENTERTAINING
WE ARE ENJOYING THE MOVIE.WE COULD NOT FIND THIS MOVIE IN OUR CITY, SO GLAD YOU HAD IT ON LINE.THIS IS A COMEDY WESTERN AND VERY FUNNY.WE GET MANY GOOD LAUGHS WHILE WATCHING IT.

Very dated......
but still brings a laugh. I still remember the patented Bud Spencer thunk on the head. The surgery scene was priceless where the knife was heat disinfected and then wiped across Bud's never washed shirt, or the patient becoming an alcholic, or Terence Hill pulling his dirty clothes back on after the soak. Just introduced this to the latest generation of our family. Tanks for the memories.

Busy doing nothing
A drifter named Trinity (Terence Hill) slides into a dusty frontier town where he discovers his outlaw brother Bambino (Bud Spencer) is sheriff.Disguised as sheriff, that is.Bambino wants to rustle a herd of valuable horses; Trinity is enamored of a pair of comely Mormon lasses.

Great Classic
If you like westerns, this is a must. Gets better with each viewing.L'Amour's input in the making ensured correct clothing, guns and other props for the time period+++++++++++++++++

Finally on DVD
I waited a LONG time for this to come out on DVD. This is one of those rare 'Modern Era' westerns. I don't classify it based on being a movie or being made for TV, because a great western needs no classification, it stands by itself as this does. Next to Lonesome Dove this stands out as arguably the finest work of that modern era of westerns.Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot were of course BORN to play in this format. It is just too bad there aren't enough opportunities anymore for them to do that. Louis L'Amour of course has largely been responsible for some of the finest book to celluloid material ever. Ben Johnson, Glenn Ford, et; all combine their supreme talents in this one also.

This disappointment from Jim Jarmusch stars Johnny Depp in a mystery-Western about a 19th-century accountant named William Blake, who spends nearly all his money getting to a hellish mud town in the old West and ends up penniless and doomstruck in the wilderness. A benevolent if goofy Native American (Gary Farmer) takes an interest in guiding Blake on a quest for identity in his earthly journey, but the film is really just a string of endless shtick about inbred woodsmen, dumb lawmen, and a trio of irritable killers. With Robert Mitchum, Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, Alfred Molina, and a noodling soundtrack by Neil Young. Read more

The Surreal West
I have deleted my multi-page review as being irrelevant, and will leave just this:"Do you have any tobacco William Blake?I think this film will become one with Brazil and Clockwork Orange andCitizen Kane.

Don't pay attention to the Amazon review for this item.
I almost never leave a review for any item (maybe I did 1 before this), but I haven't seen a review that misrepresented the item so badly before.The Amazon reviewer for this item says it is a disappointment.That is not really a critical review, and, for me, is it completely untrue.
Don't you know who you are?...
The short of it -- William Blake (Depp) takes the train from Cleveland to the end of the line in the Northwest having been promised an accounting position at a mining corporation. He arrives to find the job taken by someone else. He spends the last of his money for drink, helps a woman in the street, one thing leads to another and he's running for his life. He meets an Indian who thinks he's the poet Wm. Blake. And tries to help Blake remember who he is. The whole thing is a surrealistic journey to find his true self.

Taming the rambunctious brood, Janeproceeds to make gentlemen of them so they can woo sweethearts of their own. Butold habits die hard: their flirting gives way to fighting in the film'scelebrated barn-raising scene, a lively acrobatic dance number exuberantly choreographed by Michael Kidd.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - True Entertainment
This 1954 musical release is just too good/too fun to pass up. Adam (Howard Keel - oh my god, what a voice) needs a wife and zeros in on Milly (Jane Powell) to drag back to his Oregon Territory farm and six unruly brothers. The tiny beauty has a backbone and rises to the challenge. Milly makes believers out of them. The brothers decide they want wives of their own and kidnap more cuties from town. Whoops, they forgot to drag the preacher along too and the pass gets snowed-in for winter.
A Great Hollywood Musical

My sibling's and I loved this movie when we were young.Something about the movie made my sister and I bond, by fighting over which brother was the cutiest, and we could always con my brother into learning the dances with us!It truly is a movie that brought my family closer.I gave the DVD to both of them for Christmas a few years ago, and somehow, one of us always pulls out a copy when we are all together and we end up watching it.

Mediocre. I wouldn't bother to watch it again.
I watched this film because I heard many good critics, but it proved to be a disappointment. Tommy Lee Jones shows some nice directing tricks in some scenes but the overall result is mediocre and the finale awfully simple and predictable. The director, though, clearly has the potential for something better. May be next time.

Border brilliance
I loved this movie...it will stay with me for a long time.I've recommended it to a lot of people and thought it was a brilliant movie.The characters are 3D and TLJones gives his all in this role. Melquiades's role was extremely evocative.There was humor, shock, savagery, pain, fear, lust, desperation, anger, and so much more...and in such a short amount of time. Very haunting in its premise and theme and can't imagine people that would've left the moviehouse bored! There are no perfect characters, just the human experience totally realized here. Don't overanalyze, just go and see it.The setting is perfect and beautiful.Don't buy the soundtrack, what a waste.

You can't believe this is Tom Lee Jones
The three Burials of Melquiades Estrada features a pair of maybe the best actors of latest American movies: Tommy Lee Jones who will surprise you here by breaking the law and dancing, he: the righteous FBI agent; and an actor I fell in love with in Saving Private Ryan: lovable Barry Pepper.Both make a Don Quixote and Sancho roles in this full of Spanish world and culture references movie that will be very difficult to follow if you are not familiar with.Even some dialogue in Spanish is present.A very Spanish technique which comes from literature called surrealism is used and also the presence of Death, bodies and images coming from corpses (disturbing ah?)Well, I think no because this movie uses as its main resource humour and some scenes are really funny.

AWESOME
If you are looking a movie with a plot or a love story this isn't it! If you are a porsche or race fan & want to watch a movie with the greatest race car every made (Porsche 917) then this is the movie for you! It's a must see!

Best Auto Racing Movie - -Ever
Bought the CD after having the video for years.This is a great movie if you are a racing fan.Steve McQueen spent a fortune making the racing movie he wanted to produce.The photograpy is great - -the storyline secondary.All filmed at the LeMans track in the 69-70 era when the 8 mile configuration was at its best."Grand Prix" as a movie was very good - - but clearly a second to Le Mans.

Hot Porsches
I had seen this before purchasing, and knew the story line was weak, but the value in this one is the classy cars, and the awesome sounds of them racing...I'm a Porsche lover, esp. this era, so this one is a winner...a real keeper! ... Read more
