Could be better
Although Season 5 is not as bad as Season 6, it isn't one of the best overall.Rory is going downhill all the way, being very unRorylike in some ways and making bad choices.She drops out of Yale among other things.This was a disappointment, but had enough going for it that it's worth a watch if you're out of Gilmore and don't want to rerun previous seasons right away.

Gilmore Girls has been better
I love Gilmore Girls, but I don't like the fifth season as much. I don't like how Rory is with Logan; he is a horrible influence. I don't like how Rory quits Yale, and how her life seems to go downhill. However, I do like how Emily and Richard end up back together, and Lorelai and Luke end up back together. But overall, the first four seasons were better.

gilmore girls the compleat 5th season
I am official the worlds bigest fan of this show and all of the quirky stars hollow regulars. i own all the seasons and have watched them all 1000 times i am addicted. Season 5 is without doubt the best season yet i have watched it so many times i know each episode buy hart and can repeat the script word for word. I am Australian so am on the edge of my seat waiting for season six to be delived to my door until then i will have to watch season 5 again not that i mind but my boyfriend is ready to break all the discs so hopefully 6 will be here in a fw days. anyway i would say don't walk, run to get your copy of tvs best seris eva. go on do it you know you want to : ) ...

Great Movie
I loved this movie and thought it was a great follow up from the other movies. LOVE IT!

Latest Chapter Of All Time Greatest Movie Series !
I can't get enough of Halloweetown and it's inhabitants. It was fun to see how the young stars of the first film have grown up, though not quite a shock with Kimberly J. Brown. I've been a fan of hers for years. But onto the review. HH is an awesome movie, though I wish that they would've actually gone to Halloweentown in it. It was fun seeing Marnie in school. The problems that she faced trying to keep her friends from finding out about her and her friends from Halloweentown were hilarious. Marnie's powers are tremendously more advanced in Halloweentown High than they were in the other two movies, though her spells don't always have the desired effect most of the time. She tries to make a magical set of rooms in her house but ends up shrinking the house instead. A skeleton is attacking someone and Marnie tries the spell that her grandmother uses to make something go away but ends up only making the skeleton several times larger. There were only two things that I didn't like about the movie. One, there was no commentary track by the cast, and two, the audio is 5.1 surround sound. If you don't have a surround sound system, the sound will be compressed which can make the volume get a bit softer in places. I don't have a 5.1 system yet, but I'm hoping. If you're any kind of fan of Halloween or Kimberly J. Brown, get this movie, along with the first two and enjoy the holidays !

Halloweentown High
Wow do i remember watching the first one back in 98! I was a 9 years old back then. It was a good movie to watch. Good clean fun and nothing with bad words. The adventures of Halloween could never be this fun. It has all the cool things in it. Monsters,witches and all types of things for children. Even though now i'm 16 i still watch all the Halloweentown movies. I hope they make a 4th one. I think parents and younger children should watch all of the movies. ... Read more

This one is the best season
If you only watch one, watch this season.But you really should watch them all.However this is the one that is captivating, intelligent and edgy.Everything I love in a movie or series.I highly recommend this season for rent or purchase.
NIP/TUCK IS FOREVER CAPTIVATING!
I have enjoyed Nip/Tuck from the beginning!It's now into Season 4 and it still has me riveted to my seat every week!Each week brings surprises and unexpected plot twists.All the characters meld together perfectly which is a joy to watch.And the cameos of big stars who make an appearance on a show to two are quite fun and entertaining!
Further down the slippery slope of dysfunction
Nip/Tuck is back for another season, so strap yourselves in for the ride.If you thought Season One was groundbreaking, wait till you find out what's in store in Season Two!I highly recommend watching Season One first, that way the convoluted warping of family and business relationships might make a little more sense.In Season Two, the morals get seedier, the surgeries more graphic, and the sin more cutting edge than ever.

Sorting out the Viewing order, Great series!
Fully in line with my expectations for BBC excellence, the Midsomer Murders series doesn't disappoint. I did find however the Set numbering quite confusing as it didn't seem to correspond to the character developments.
Even more corpses in Set Seven, but perhaps a little tiredness is creeping into the writing and plotting
There's no apparent sign that Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) is undergoing any mid-life crisis, but it may be that Midsomer Murders, now in its seventh season, is. Set Seven contains only four of theseven programs that made up the season. Almost without exception they show signs of strain in the writing and plotting. Although still quite enjoyable mysteries involving the many murders that occur in quiet, well-mannered Midsomer County, they nonetheless, in my opinion, lack a little of the style and cleverness of the earlier shows.
Missing Episodes
Midsomer Murders is my all-time favorite mystery series, beautifully photographed and with superb acting.Five stars for the programs, but no stars, I'm afraid, for these disks which contain only four of the six episodes of Series 7.After waiting forever for the release of these disks, what a disappointment to find that "The Maid in Splendour" and "The Straw Woman" have been omitted without explanation.How much longer must we wait (and how much more must we pay) for all of Series 7 and the following series to be released?(Average of 5 + 0 = 2 1/2) ...

Gojira vs. Godzilla!
For sci-fi fans like me, this recent release of the Gojira/Godzilla DVD set has been a long-awaited event.Now, at long last, we are able to see the original Gojira film and compare it with the Godzilla Hollywood version which we all grew up watching.And here I thought I knew this movie...
FUN, BUT NOT BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN VERSION
Before buying this 2 disc DVD,I've read the reviews of the fans and the majority of them praise 'Gojira'and mock the American version with Raymond Burr. After viewing the original Japanese version (which I belive is excellent), I find the comparison reviews narrow minded and disapointing. These folks are sophisticated and savy and have always known they can watch their tapes and DVD's over and over and pick apart anything they see. This must make them feel important but the opinions I've read on the comparison of the 2 films is unfair. I wasn't born in 1956 when the original U.S. version was released. I saw it in 1968 when I was 7 years old on 'Creature Feature' and I remember exactly what I said when it was over: "Godzilla is my new favorite Monster". Raymond Burr's 'Flashback' narrations give the film a documentary feel which is abscent from the Toho version. The American version is "different", not "worse". The anti-nuclear approach in the original film is "great", but it's not "better". And as for the techniques used to blend the 2 films, I think they were pretty damn clever and not ameturish in the least bit. Please buy this DVD; watch and love both versions....you'll thank me.

Not Re-Mastered and Restored, But Very Nice DVD Release Previously Unavailable!
I am very happy to finally see the ORIGINAL version of GOJIRA (a.k.a, GODZILLA) being officially released in the USA!

HEY!! TOSS MY SALAD
Like the 5 seasons before it never let me down. Although some storylines drifted off course it was still Oz. It also lets you wonder down the road, that maybe???...... they'll transfer these bad boys to another institution. I enjoy when nothing else is on or when I want to watch a movie, watch the other 5 seasons. I am possitive they could have gotten 100's more show ideas from the animals judicated in our penal systyms.

THAT'S HOW IT ENDS?!?!?!?
I understand that the ending of a fantastic series should both leave you dramatically satified while at the same time leave you wanting more.

good dvd
I use this dvd quite a lot because sometimes it is the only one I have time for.Also, in the morning I can't do too much.I love the morning one with Rodney Yee, he is my favorite.It is very gentle and relaxing but gives a good stretching.Not good if you are wanting a challange.The PM one is good also, more challanging. I know some people have wrote that it didn't put them to sleep and it doesn't.But I don't think that is what it is suppose to do.It relaxes you and relieves stress. Beautiful scenery like all the Gaiam dvds.

not bad
Well this is my first yoga video, and i thought it was ok. The AM workout is a bit easy, and there are some moves in the PM that I need to practice. I do think both streches move a little fast, they should hold the poses a bit longer to allow you to catch up. I like it because it is short and I feel pretty good when i am done. I will probably try a couple other vids from others to see how they compare.

Perfect for Starters
This is the very most perfect DVD for anyone wanting to begin a consistent yoga practice.

Editorial Review

Gary Cooper plays Alvin York, the real-life country lad and sharpshooter drafted to fight during World War I but blocked from killing by his pacifist sentiments. Howard Hawks makes a rousing, heroic film out of the tale, and Cooper gives one of his best performances (for which he won an Oscar). The 1941 feature seems as much a valentine to wartime America (and a not-so-subtle piece of propaganda) as anything, with Hawks capturing splendidly shot scenes of life in York's home state of Tennessee, which in turn provide a striking contrast to the battlefield. A key scene in the film, in which York is presented with an argument in favor of killing in war, is still thought provoking. Read more

WHEN OSCAR MET COOPER....A TIMELESS TRIUMPH!
For those who wonder why it took so long for SERGEANT YORK to make his journey to DVD, all you have to be familiar with is how AWFUL this movie looked when TCM ran it on TV. Like so many older Warner pictures, it needed to be restored, and over and over again, the grand old studio founded by the brothers Warner is restoring is glittering gems for DVD to look and sound terrific.
Took them long enough!!!
FINALLY
This is really a classic American movie and it boggles the mind why it took the studio so long to release it. Sgt. York is played by Gary Cooper in what I personally believe is his best performance. Walter Brennan is fabulous as the folksy preacher. I particularly remember the turkey shooting contest in which York demonstrated his skill with a rifle. Recently, American Rifleman magazine published a great story on Sgt. York that is well worth reading! ... Read more

Giving THE WIRE Justice
I hesitate to try to typify THE WIRE in a wee Amazon review, as the show's extraordinary realism and excellence is reflected in so many different components, it would take a feature article to do it justice. For example, this crime program is populated by police officers and criminals who are in many cases, the "genuine article," and there is no obvious difference between these real-deal folks and the show's ACTUAL actors. Thus, we can score one for verisimilitude.(Actually, score two.)
The best TV series of all time
There is a scene in the third season of "The Wire" that I think is the best scene of dramatic TV that I have ever seen. It concerns a black detective, talking with the street hoodlum "Omar" about the way the neighborhood used to be, and he says, "you know, no matter how hard people were, there was no such thing as a person that got killed and didn't matter". That scene is a great statement and commentary on American inner cities and what has happened to them. You can see that Omar is trying to "blow it off" and be tough, but in his eyes, you can see that those words have struck him to his core. The scene is one of the best in the entire series and indicative of how good this series is. The writing is absolutely spectacular. It blows me away how good this show is.

Omar listenin'
It keeps getting better!

What the???
I am a huge fan of this show so when I found out that the episodes were CLIPPED i was furious. It's not even subtle! It is completely noticable as some of my favorite episodes had hilarious portions completely removed. I don't what the deal is with the slow release schedule and the lack of legitimate bonus features is ridiculous. I'm really upset and hope they rerelease this with UNEDITED episodes. GEEZ!

Episodes still great despite a scandalous DVD release
I couldn't believe that so many episodes were cut. AND really, how dumb is it to have Deborah Harry's appearance in the episode guide on the box and then to cut out her scene? I liked this season a lot but LIONSGATE should really be ashamed. For me, it is particularly annoying because I have never seen the full-length episodes.

Another great season
I loved watching this season again on DVD, I just wish it didn't take forever for it to be released! The shows are cut, they are the same length as the TV ones, but the comedy is so good and funny that I really don't care. This is the first season that wasn't like the last 4, they made changes, and they had too, the same format and lines were not going to last another season, and I think they did a great job. I think it was funnier than the previous four seasons. ... Read more

It's not THAT scary but it was enjoyable
Awhile ago I was having a conversation with someone about musical tastes where we vastly disagreed on what was simply awesome bands and which ones were purely based around taste, such as people who love R&B and Rap to people who prefer Dance. In a way, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as well as the Exorcist and the Shining are like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin of horror movies: you must love them and say anything different and you're going to get lynched. So I will agree that the film is definately refreshing considering the latest crop of so-called "horror movies", yet at the same time I wonder why it didn't hit me that much.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
PLOT: Five friends (Pam, Kirk, Sally, Franklin, and Jerry) are travelling across the open, isolated roads of Southern Texas, checking on a family grave in light of recent graverobbing in the area. The good news is, the grave is unharmed. The bad news is, the kids are tortured and slaughtered by a group of inbred hicks who dwell withing the woods.

classic Jack Black
It's good to know that farce is alive and well in the world. Since the mid 90's it feels like film makers have lost their grip on truly great weird comedy. Movies that speak to the few and turn off the rest. It seems that even as the tools to unlock our imaginations get flashier and flashier, and special effect budgets grow and grown, American film grow static and stale. Then when it seems like all hope is lost, a film like NACHO LIBRE comes along.
Definitely Ha-ha funny
Jack Black has that uncanny ability to make physical comedy and overt silliness enjoyable and heart-warming at the same time.I'm glad he came backto his roots after his semi-serious stint in Peter Jackson's "King Kong".Physical comedy is what he does best because he throws his all into it fearlessly.
This Movie is Great
Most comedy strikes me as stupid slapstick, but this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I can't even tell people about some scenes because I start laughing so hard I can't talk.If you liked Napoleon Dynamite and School of Rock, this movie is for you, same weird humor, but a little better. In the theater it seemed that people either loved it (laughing the entire time), or thought it was kind of strange (looking at us in wonderment).Jared Hess meets Jack Black, go figure. ... Read more
