It’s been a long road, both for Youko (the lead character) and the fans. We’ve waited patiently for these volumes to be released and here they are. An ruin to a attractive series that any anime fan should judge as considerable. Complex characters that drive a tale that has almost as many layers as Dune. An onion like dwelling that has yet to be fully peeled yet satisfies those with a desire for mountainous sage telling. Don’t let this jewel pass you by. Special thanks to Anime Works for bringing this attractive series to these shores.

Sigh… the slay has finally approach for an sterling and glowing yarn. After many haroing adventures, Youko’s quest has ended with one last lesson to learn. The story’s dwelling ended as well as any can with so many questions and yet many others answered. However, it tranquil ended with a mild dignity and finality that is hard to net. There was no climactic battle, no triumphite music; objective a shot of Youko (with Rakushun by her side), smiling her soft smile, reasuring us that everything will be OK.

I, like another reviewer, would like to thank Anime Works for bringing this pretty myth to America and doing such a enormous job with the English dubbing. Its so dark that the series was ended with 20 episodes left, however I am grateful that I found such a wonderfully thoughtful chronicle. I recommend this DVD and the entire series to everybody.

“John Wayne - An American Icon Collection” may be the most mismatched collection of the Duke’s most offbeat starring roles available on DVD, but each film has some merits (even “The Conqueror”), and if you only know Wayne from westerns or war movies, you are in for a surprise!

“Seven Sinners” (1940), offers Duke’s first teaming with the legendary Marlene Dietrich, with whom he’d have a brief but torrid off-screen affair. An atmospheric drama region at the ‘Seven Sinners’ bar on an exotic Pacific island, Dietrich is, as usual, a sultry chanteuse, loved and lusted after by every man who meets her, especially ‘bad boy’ Antro (played with finesse by cover feeble Oskar Homolka) . When the Rapidly arrives, however, and ‘Golden Boy’ officer Wayne sets eyes on her, she falls hard, and he is willing to sacrifice his career for her. Of course, the ‘Higher Good’ prevails, but not before audiences pick up a healthy dose of romance!

Co-starring Broderick Crawford, Anna Lee, and a surprisingly sympathetic Albert Dekker, the Dietrich-Wayne chemistry would point to so potent that they would beget two more films together.

“Pittsburgh” (1942), the third and last Dietrich-Wayne pairing (following the Alaskan account, “The Spoilers”), does a flip-flop in the characterizations from the Gold Bustle record, making Randolph Scott the ‘good guy’, and Wayne an opportunistic heel, willing to ‘walk over’ anybody, even his treasure, Dietrich, to bag rich in the steel industry (although he’d redeem himself, by the finale) . Playing a victim was uncharacteristic of the tough actress, however, and, while Wayne would eventually display an proper ‘anti-hero’, audiences wouldn’t score Wayne so ‘out-of-character’ at this point in his career. The film would not do well at the box office, ending the Dietrich-Wayne pairings…but has gained a devoted following, over the years!

“The Shepherd of the Hills” (1941), Wayne’s first teaming with director Henry Hathaway (who would explain Duke to his only Oscar, 28 years later, in “Right Grit”), was also the first color film in Wayne’s career. A account of life in the Ozark Mountains, Betty Field, as moonshiner Wayne’s savor interest, ’steals’ the film, but it does offer the novelty of cover yarn (and Wayne friend) Harry Carey playing Duke’s long-absent father. Occasionally racy, but the Duke seems a bit out-of-place in the proceedings!

“Jet Pilot” (filmed in 1950, released in 1957), marked Wayne’s first film for producer Howard Hughes (yes, THAT Howard Hughes), in a cartoonish anti-Communist ‘epic’, as Air Force officer Duke converts Soviet pilot Janet Leigh to the joys of America (while she ‘lures’ him to defect, leading to a Wayne sojourn to Russia, and his easily stealing Red technology for the West) . This film is truly poor (which was why it was ’shelved’ for seven years), with Hughes’ signature emphasis on long, lingering views of Leigh’s top-heavy figure (while Josef von Sternberg is credited as the director, Hughes was clearly in charge) . “Jet Pilot” is better known as the film where the legendary Chuck Yeager (who first broke the sound barrier, in 1947), was nearly killed performing the aerial stunts (while on ‘loan’ from the USAF) . The aerial footage is, certainly, the most impressive aspect of the film.

“Jet Pilot” could have been the worst film of Duke’s career, but Hughes had bigger plans, and topped even this anecdote with…

“The Conqueror” (1956), the foul showcase of John Wayne as Asian warrior Temujin (who would eventually be known as GENGHIS KHAN) . This film is so summarily abominable, and has so many legends associated with the production (shot in the radiation-drenched sands of the Atomic test range in Utah…with many of the cast and crew eventually dying of cancer), that by notoriety, alone, it should be an ‘essential’ for any Wayne fan collection!

Directed (with a straight face) by the usually worthy Dick Powell, between the flowery dialog, the clunky costumes, and Susan Hayward as the least orderly red-headed princess you’ll ever come by, delight in the campier moments, like Mexican Pedro Armendariz and short, roly-poly William (”Cannon”) Conrad as Wayne’s BROTHERS; dilapidated actor Thomas Gomez as ‘Wang Khan’ (that really IS his character’s name) ; and the climactic moment when the Duke, surrounded by enemies, hisses the immortal words, “Approach and Recall me, mongrels - if you DARE! While I have fingers to recall a sword, and eyes to examine your cowardly faces, your treacherous heads will not be superior on your shoulders. For I am Temujin, the Conqueror! No prison can enjoy me, no army defeat me!” (Seriously, LAURENCE OLIVIER couldn’t suppose those lines believably…maybe Sylvester Stallone could…)

Whether you’re a John Wayne fan, or not, this collection offers plenty to talk about, at a very reasonable brand! I promise, you’ll never score a better opportunity to explore the Duke as you’ve NEVER seen him before!

Want to survey John Wayne a puny differently, pick this area. This is a collection that I would guess most people, other than die hard Duke fans, have not seen. Pittsburgh is a immense movie with a immense supporting cast. Marlene Dietrich, Randolph Scott and even an appearance by Shemp Howard of Three Stooges fame. If you question Duke to consume all, be surprised. Seven Sinners is another romance with Dietrich. Jet Pilot is noted for some really stout aerial shots. Chuck Yaeger of sound barrier fame did some of the stunt flying here. Shepherd of the Hills is a beautifully shot movie with Wayne living with a curse. No barroom brawls here nor gunfights from horseback, honest excellent dramatic record telling. The Conqueror is probably the most notorious of the movies in this collection. John Wayne is Genghis Khan. You have to gape this one to maintain it. If you like John Wayne or don’t know him that well, seize this collection to spy something different from the Duke.

I was satisfied to come by that at long last, “Torch Song Trilogy” was finally on DVD. If you are not familiar with this film, it is a must discover. A savory, silly, gentle and consuming film. For those not familiar, to set it in the context of time, it was one of the first movies with a obvious image of gratified characters.

I go intention succor with Torch Song. In the 1970’s I saw, “International Stud” in the Village (I own it was a theatre on Bleecker St.) I also remember seeing it as an entire triology off off Broadway when it was presented by the Glines (I seem to remember that the brand cost $5 with a coupon, or was it 2-for $10 with coupon? )

Harvey Fierstien is to be applauded. We assume for granted the more definite image we survey of gays today (although apparently, we have progressed from the film images of where we extinguish ourselves, to the television images of where we are only acceptable if we are making straight people contented and so that they can marry each other, while we ourselves are not allowed to bag married) .

Torch Song represents hope, esteem, and pride.

A titanic plus on the DVD is the not to be missed commentary by Harvey.

Thank you Harvey for writing this. Thank you for being a pioneer. Gez … where is this review going? Somewhere in the background a spin queen is beginning to mumble the “Battle Hymn of the Republic!”

This is an classic. It will fabricate you laugh, weep, find wrathful, and, if you have any compassion whatsoever, it will touch your heart. I am straight. I say that only in the hope that other straight men will give this movie a chance. Certainly the homophobes of the world would not judge watching this reliable film and that’s their loss. The cast does a fantastic job. Harvey Fierstein is astounding. His character is rich and deep and that’s due in no minute section to the fact that Harvey is rich and deep. Anne Bancroft does a stout job as the mother trying to understand and cope. Matthew Broderick and Brian Kerwin play their roles with a huge subtlety. It would have been easy to camp it up as stereotypical gays but they gave their characters more class and style. Certainly influenced by Harvey.

This is a very sterling movie that houses an exceptionally gargantuan performance by Jamie Fox as music chronicle Ray Charles. I must confess that as a genre, the biopic is not my common, especially of figures as well known as Ray Charles. We usually receive in such films distorted portraits of them, or undeserved adulation. RAY is one of the more balanced biopics I have seen. Ray Charles is presented as a musical genius who had managed to overcome physical disabilities that would have stopped most others, but it doesn’t attempt to calm the serious and unflattering personal good problems he had with drugs and his exploitative treatment of women. Nor is he revealed as a legal saint or loving person. Though generous with others for the most portion, Ray is shown as a proud, independent, and slightly self-absorbed, a bit selfish in his treatment of women. As a result, Ray Charles emerges in the film as a believable human being, suited of dejected decisions, but also improbable music and the occasional worthy accurate stand, such as when he refuses to beget in a racially segregated crowd in a venue in Georgia. In fact, the film is built around three foci: his early childhood when he witnessed the death of his younger brother and gradually lost his sight; his musical career from 1948 until the mid-1960s; and his heroin addiction. The film ends with his overcoming his heroin addiction, which also-as numerous music critics have noted–corresponds to the destroy of the peak of his career as a creative musical performer. Charles continued to acquire albums after getting off heroin, but all of the gargantuan songs that we associate with him were written and recorded while on heroin. For the last forty years of his career, his sets consisted almost entirely of songs he made noted in the fifties and early sixties, with covers of songs by other musicians. There has been a long debate as to whether his addiction somehow aided his musical creativity, but even if so, no one would have wished him to continue to endanger his health and life.

Jamie Fox will without any possible doubt receive an Oscar nomination for this performance. This is considerably more than a generous impersonation of Charles: it is almost as if Fox channels him. As powerful as I loved other biopics of music legends like THE BUDDY HOLLY Chronicle or WHAT’S Savor GOT TO DO WITH IT, throughout each I was conscious that Gary Busey was playing Buddy Holly and Angela Bassett playing Tina Turner. I completely forgot that Jamie Fox was playing Ray Charles, and despite being quite familiar with him, imagined that I was actually watching Charles onscreen. Yes, he does a killer impersonation of Charles, but he manages that first on top of that provides an wonderful dramatic performance. This is substantial acting, not merely a grand impersonation. The only performance of current years of an actor portraying a prominent entertainer as pleasurable as this is Robert Downey in CHAPLIN.

I also really loved the examine of the film. Since it ended in the mid-1960s, the entire film was essentially a period film. There was a sense of visual veracity from beginning to waste. I loved the cars, the clothes (especially the ties! - am I alone in thinking that the 1950s was the immense decade for neckties? ), the interior decors, the furniture. The scenes in the shanty town where Charles was a child were very effective.

The cast aside from Fox was quite strong, made up mainly of relatively unknown performers. There were many other things to devour about the film. Of course, the music is absolutely sensational, consisting either of remasters of unique Ray Charles’s recordings, or recent recordings for which Charles provided the vocals. I also loved the relationship in the film between Charles and Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records. There is nothing of the stereotypical relationship between artist and executives that invests so many of the stories of musicians in the 1950s and 1960s. Ertegun is rightfully remembered as one of the truly big figures in the recording industry, someone who was in it more for the music than for the money, and who treated his artists with a degree of respect that was too frequently absent. The film does a generous job of presenting Charles’s dilemma: ABC-Monument made him an offer that he simply couldn’t refuse, yet at the same time we are all aware that Charles was, in a scheme, screwing Atlantic over by leaving them for ABC-Monument. All in all, I loved this warts and all near to the subject matter. There is absolutely no query that Ray Charles was one of the most amazing performers of the fifties and sixties, and doing all he did despite his blindness is an fantastic saga. He truly was a genius, even if he was a somewhat flawed person. But you have to adore the procedure that he managed to overcome his personal shortcomings to become not merely one of the most successful but one of the most beloved musical performers of his age.

I went to witness Ray in the theaters last night because my sister suggested it and because I was in a mood to peer something “critically acclaimed”. For the describe, I knew very runt about the man and so had very few preconceptions. What I saw made a deep impression in my mind and heart.

Ray Robinson, aka Ray Charles the singer, songwriter and musician, was blind since the age of 7. He had to deal not only with bigotry for his disability but for being shadowy in Georgia before the civil rights movement. Throughout his life many people (both dark and white) would try to recall advantage of the blind man, ripping him off financially or hoarding his talent for their maintain come by. Ray had both the blessing and the curse of being a ladies’ man, resulting in serial affairs while his wife stayed home and raised their family. It surprised me to learn that he fought an addiction to heroin for well over a decade before finally beating it in the `60s. Nevertheless, Ray carried all this baggage and more through the 40s and 50s as he made a name for himself playing piano in the Country, Jazz, etc. pop music circuits. Eventually of course he rose to become one of the most recognized and beloved musical artists worldwide.

The man that this film showed me was an wonderful example of determination, charm and simple human spirit. I have heard others say that Jamie Foxx’s acting was so reliable that they were half-convinced he was channeling Ray Charles’ ghost. I’ll steal their word for it that it was an proper performance, but regardless, it was also a tall performance! Down the line each of the supporting actors was perfectly convincing and exact, but none more so than Foxx. I will denounce the Academy if he isn’t at least nominated for an Oscar.

The least of Ray’s imperfections was his physical blindness –yet he had a grand gift and the ability to near into the collective soul of a nation. Over his long career as a musician and songwriter, Ray Charles Robinson created and performed some of the most memorable music to audiences across the country. Your color, age and creed doesn’t matter; chances are, you’ve heard and loved at least one Ray Charles song in your lifetime. We’ll never have another like him.

HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” is not a mini-series; in fact, it only covers the last two chapters of Brown’s book and runs a miniature over two hours. The film would have been better titled, The Last Days of the Sioux Nation: Second Edition

There are many historical inaccuracies in this film; some are astronomical, and some are diminutive. Director Yves Simoneau recounts the myth of reservation life, the taking of Indian lands and the debate that ensued. Choosing drama, as opposed to a documentary style, to picture these subjects is most inviting. When one looks past the inaccuracies in “Wounded Knee”, one will glimpse many moments of brilliance.

So, let us undo some of the most famous snafus first:

Buy,Download, Or Stream Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee! Click Here

* The film opens with a young Ohiyesa — Charles Eastman living in the village at the Battle of the Limited Bighorn. Eastman was never there.

* Sitting Bull physically lashes his men for attempting to wing Canada for their outmoded homeland. This was never the case. Sitting Bull did employ the akicita (similar to law enforcement officers) to withhold people from leaving Canada. The film accurately portrays why Sitting Bull took the actions he did.

* Sitting Bull surrenders at Standing Rock instead of Ft. Buford.

* Charles Eastman was not the right-hand man to Dawes in developing what would later become the Dawes Act.

“Wounded Knee” indeed seems to be two films. The first covers the latter years of Sitting Bull’s (August Schellenberg) life which are filled with triumph and defeat, greatness and loneliness. The second involves the rescue of a culture gasping its last breath. Trying to resuscitate it are Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn) and Charles Eastman (Adam Beach) through the building of the Dawes Act that ensures every Indian family would beget 160 acres of land.

The first film centers on Sitting Bull, a defeated chief of the Lakota, and one of the most convincing American Indian characters ever shaped for a film. He is a complete enigma. He fights to protect his people, yet he lashes warriors for fleeing Canada to their homeland in the Dakotas. He criticizes other Indian leaders for accepting the white man’s method of life, yet he sells his autograph and photo. Sitting Bull’s redemption is intended to be shown in one dramatic scene where he confronts the Dawe Commission. “You may say they wish to give us land. But, here is the truth. Each patch is for a man and all generations that follow. They know that this land cannot feed but one generation, not even so considerable as that…” He continues his speech which will shock and surprise many viewers. In the demolish, Sitting Bull’s oration becomes his death warrant.

Film two follows the life of Eastman. When he is 15 years traditional, his father Jacob (Wayne Charles Baker) takes Eastman assist from the roaming Santee bands. Eastman is confused from his father’s acceptance of Christianity and his singing of hymns. For me, one of the most well-known scenes occurs when Eastman must leave his father to commence yet another novel life. As Eastman looks out the window of his slowly involving notify, his father waves goodbye and begins to train a hymn. The emotions are exceedingly powerful; the hymn develops into an Indian strong-heart song as he waves goodbye to his son for the last time. Eastman eventually becomes the agency physician at Pine Ridge where he meets Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin) and they become snappily friends. However, the Beach character is filled with conflict in one of his best performances. Living again among his people, Eastman questions what he has become.

From these doubts, the film chronicles perfectly Eastman and Dawe’s collapsing relationship. Through the first two acts, they allotment the enthusiasm of immense dreams and aspirations on how they intend to assign the American Indian. They become like father and son. But, they finally approach an impasse in a scene that exudes remarkable sadness.

In the middle of this complex storyline comes a moment of elegance in the only scene engaging Wovoka (Studi) . With ballet like movements, the Studi character brings his message of the Ghost Dance to the Lakota people. As he articulates his vision in words, he accompanies them with Plains Indian impress language while his body gracefully moves before the crowd. Wovoka’s message is simple: If the Lakota people gain his vision and learn the Ghost Dance, the Mammoth Spirit will rid the earth of the white man, return the buffalo to their tubby glory, and give befriend to the Lakota their worn plot of life. It is the strangest irony of this film: from such promise the Lakota people feel happiness again, but all they receive is death.

“Wounded Knee” gives us two tremendous scenes that connect the two films together. The first is the death of Sitting Bull never told before with such accuracy in any other film. This scene over any other quiet haunts me. The film then transports us to the second climatic scene, which is the Battle of Wounded Knee. Yes, it was a battle; there was fierce hand-to-hand combat, and it ended in a slaughter. The movie vividly portrays the tension leading up to the battle, its fight, and its massacre, but fails in its explanation why. The movie attempts to account for as when Col. James Forsyth (Marty Antonini) says to Eastman, “We didn’t fire first. I yelp to all-mighty God, we did not fire first.” I serene wish the film explained further.

That lack of explanation does not diminish from the greatness of this movie. It is truly valiant in the memoir movie producers have, until now, been timid to touch. For the first time we have a Western movie that is concerned with both sides. With its brilliant script, strong direction, and much acting, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” grasps the notion of the last days of the Lakota nation wholly; at times brutal, but the movie detached exhibits warmth and passion.

Bury My Heart….is a decent film. I always welcome any film that, respectfully and honestly, tries to deal with native american subject matters.

However; this film was simply too riddled with historical inaccuracies to be what it should have been.

The first dilemma arises in that Dee Brown’s book in itself romantizises the massacre at wounded knee. To putrid a film on a book that is already flawed, from a native point of plan, is tatamount to building a house on quicksand.

Ok let’s view at the character of Ohiysa, or Dr. Charles Eastman, portrayed by Adam Beach.

Ohiyesa was Whappeton-Sisseton DAKOTA….in the film he is portrayed as LAKOTA. To most people that won’t matter considerable, but for both the Lakota and Dakota people it does.

He sometimes speaks in Lakota….which, as a Dakota, he most certainly would not have. Apt, both dialects are mutually understandable and are of siouan origin, but Ohiyesa would certainly have spoken his Whappeton Dakota dialect….not the Oglalla Lakota dialect.

Then he is placed in the infamous position and time. Ohiyesa was nowhere reach the greasy grass (petite big-horn) when the lakota camp was attacked by Reno and his men. In fact, he was a position away up in North Dakota or further over in Minnesota….not in Montana where the battle took spot.

Neither was he ever stop to the wounded knee massacre. He WAS the agency physician at Pine Ridge, Oglalla Lakota Reservation, but not at the time of the battle at wounded knee.

Chief Tatanka Iyotake…Sitting Bull. August Schellenberg did a respectable job with the script he was given. What bothers me however, is that in almost all native type movies the actors are forced to tell in a very awckward manner which comes across as phoney and contrieved. As though natives would have spoken that map in their believe language.

Anyhow. Tatanka Iyotake comes across as somewhat of a jerk and I feel that the procedure he was pertrayed took worthy away from the exact Sitting Bull…not that I knew the man of course. However; Sitting Bull was a wicasa wakan…a holy man amongst his Hunkpapa people and I doubt he would have conducted himself as arrogantly and foolishly as he was made to witness in this film. Also, he never came to Pine Ridge…mighty less did he surrender there. He surrendered at Ft. Robinson Nebraska…..the same region where Tashunke Witko…Chief Crazy Horse surrendered and where he was murdered by the U.S. Govt. They did collect it factual that Sitting Bull was murdered on his Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota.

Again, these inaccuracies may not seem like a gargantuan deal to most, but I doubt ANY american would occupy proper to a foreigen nation making a film about, say Pearl Harbor, but confuse names, events and places of major american figures along the map. Imagine, a foreigen produced film about Pearl Harbor, with Gen. Mc Arthur invading China instead of Japan, and Pearl Harbor being plot on the fly of Maine. Wouldn’t go over well would it? Now imagine how the decendants of the native side of wounded knee feel when the record of their ancestors is constantly told in a haphazzard manner.Point made.

There are a few other things defective with this film. In the last frames of the film Chief Makhpia Luta…Red Cloud, is shown riding on a wagon, as Ohiyesa and his wife bare gaze to the aftermath of the massacre. Red Cloud was not at wounded knee. He was at Pine Ridge at the time yes, but he did not visit the killing field because he was vexed that more violence would errupt. Beyond that, he had gone blind and was in broken-down health at the time of the massacre….he couldn’t have gone even if he had wanted to.

All in all the acting was anywhere from substantial to ok, but given the lame script and dialogue there was not remarkable any of the actors could have done. The cinematography was very apt, as were the costumes….at least here they paid attention to detail in ditinguishing the Arikira from the Crow and the Crow from the Lakota…as each tribe had it’s beget very distinctive dress and appearance forms.

One last effect on Dr. Eastman. In the film he is shown as being desolate toward the raze and out of work when he, in fact, went on to publish many books and was, even in his day, recognized as a writer and orator of tremendous renown.

From my perspective it is hard to procure around the inaccuracies and the torrid dialogue, but given the scarsity of cerdible native themed films…collected and ever, I remove it for what it is and give it 3 stars.

I have often plan upon viewing the prequel trilogy, the intervening years between the current and the current. To be definite, most of the criticisms of the recent trilogy are adult in nature. We mutter ill of wooden dialogue and acting, convoluted storylines, and themes that aren’t proper to the nature of the purity of science fiction. I was only five when Episode IV was release, so my only criticism of that particular film came in the gain of whining to my folks that I couldn’t watch it again and again and again.

My point is this: George Lucas has his flaws, most of which are related to him being out of the director’s chair for more than 20 years before embarking on his fresh trilogy toy, but I believe, more importantly, that we as a filmgoing populace have changed as well. The fact that Lucas has been able to bridge that gap successfully (while telling the sage backwards, to boot!) demonstrates the man’s ample talents. Perfect? Far from it, but damned curious, nonetheless.

Which brings me to the crown jewel of the prequel trilogy. “Revenge of the Sith” is the second best film of all six, ranking only slow “The Empire Strikes Help” in terms of depth an substance. The acting is better and the writing, if not terrific, is helped by a game cast and a hasten that doesn’t allow you to procure your breath. Hayden Christiansan, for the most fraction, owns this role, displaying an adult gravity he was unable to demonstrate in the dramatically clunky “Attack of the Clones” The rage, frustration, and fright contrasted with Anakin’s heroism and confidence in the face of battle made for a complex character who you found yourself rooting for despite the story’s preordained outcome.

The special effects, as usual, are outstanding, but for the most share attend the film this time. There are points during the first two prequel films that you feel Lucas and Co. are simply showing off some of their knowing original toys, but in this film there is a more concrete sense of purpose.

Dramatically the film belongs to Ian McDiarmid. His performance creates the honest balance of charm and villiany and by doing so makes Anakin’s turn all the more believable even though the turn itself feels a tad sudden. In fact, I dare say that I enjoyed McDiarmid more when he was under the guise of Palpatine than when he fully reveals himself as Sidious. The scene during the opera is one of the astronomical dramatic highpoints of any of the six movies.

As for the flaws: distinct, there were a few. I would like to have seen a more galvanizing series of events leading to Anakin’s turn, perhaps some more perceived betrayals at the hands of the Jedi Council? I would like to have seen a more fleshed out performance by Natalie Portman, who seems to be more of an afterthought than a character in the third film. (On a side designate, Portman is a terrific actress, but was, in this humble reviewer’s belief, the most ill-served of the entire cast by the clunky dialogue that pervades all three films.)

The one portion to which I didn’t object that seemed to be the bane of many Star Wars fans is the scene challenging the birth of Vader. I liked the allusions to “Frankenstein” for that is what Vader’s sage eventually becomes in the following trilogy: a search for his humanity, powerful like Mary Shelley’s creation.

I also didn’t have a dilemma with Vader’s reaction to the fact he’d caused Padme’s death. You have to remember that, despite the fact that he now has James Earl Jones’ booming stutter, he’s detached Anakin and collected very young. It does sound outlandish, I admit, but it’s composed completely in character. You also have to remember that Darth Vader will have a satisfactory 20 to 25 years to complete his transformation into the wintry, remorseless killing machine we near to know and adore in Episode IV.

In all, “Revenge of the Sith” does a terrific job of tying things together in a manner that harkens relieve to when I was a child watching Star Wars for the first time. It’s impossible, as an adult, to completely dismiss some of the flaws in the later films, but Episode III definitely comes terminate. It is a resplendent allotment of escapist filmaking that has heart, soul, and character and I would highly recommend it to anyone, Star Wars fan or no, looking for a fun time at the movies.

I never really understood what was so tremendous about the Star Wars movies when I was growing up. I was born after the originals were released, so I was never a piece of that “culture” that Star Wars is. I saw them when I was around 13 or 14 and fell asleep before the extinguish of all three. I never had the desire to really peek them again until Phantom Menace came out. I didn’t gape it in theaters, but I watched it, liked it, and waited for the next one to arrive out. I liked Episode II a lot better (I have to admit that half of that appreciation is because I appreciate Haydn), but I smooth didn’t really “win” Star Wars. Well, I saw the triler for the third film, and I opinion it looked really beneficial. I also opinion it was going to be murky, but I didn’t realize that I was going to bellow all the method home from the movie theater! After the experience of seeing Episode III, I now finally understand what Star Wars is all about, and I savor it! This movie perfectly ties the two trilogies together. It is so emotionally distinguished. I know a lot of people say that George Lucas can’t write diologue and can’t relate anything but action scenes, but I completely disagree. Though some lines are a bit corny, each scene is treated with a grand amount of care and sets up your emotions so that you react to clear dim cercumstances (I’m determined you know what I’m refering to) in a very personal method. I have watched all three of the first series since seeing Episode III, and I like them so powerful, because now I understand!

I’ve been an Akamatsu fan for a couple years now and I’ve enjoyed this short two OVA series, as well as the Manga.

Though I judge the dub of Mai was a bit off, I understand how hard it would be to affirm such an putrid girl.

If your an Akamatsu fan then this is a must for your collection. If you’ve never read or watched something created by Ken Akamatsu then I judge this would be a satisfactory plot to initiate. Though, if you don’t like fan service then this may save you off a bit.

‘My Santa’ is a droll and out there romantic comedy, remarkable like his other works, and is obvious to produce even the biggest of holiday scrooges at least chuckle.

I watched this series and I loved it but i reflect it should of been longer. The epic was intriguing so like a flash and by the time i got to figure what the whole record is about it fair ends. The section that really moved swiftly was the ending and yet in the beginning of episode 2 there is about 15 minutes of footage they could of left out or manufacture it into 3 episodes instead of unprejudiced 2 episodes on this disc. Overall, its a huge anime with awesome dubbed suppose acting but if they made the series into like 3 or 4 episodes it will be more worth it. There is some nudity when the girls transform into bustier girls. This is not Ken Akamatsu’s greatest work in anime but its worth giving a shot. The storyline is pleasant. I wouldnt recommend this anime to unbiased any anime fan but i beget people would relish this because of the background legend tedious it and have girls transform into Santa’s helpers *note they are not elves*.

As a expansive fan of older films and music, I am very aware of the many attempts of studios and characterize companies to reissue and re-market a previously released product in a novel and improved format. While many of these reissues are often favorable to their previously released counterparts, I have never been one to steal into the “upgrades”. I feel that you don’t need to have the best sound, the crispest portray, or the excess of supplemental materials in order to bask in a film and have it affect you. In all my years collecting music CD’s (particularly jazz) and DVDs, I deem I’ve upgraded no more than three items from my collections.

I had been hearing for a while now about a modern version of Seven Samurai coming out on Criterion that was supposed to have a trace novel transfer from a recently discovered source that was to be greatly improved from any other previous edition. Being one of the most beloved films of all time (and one of mine as well), this has been creating alot of excitement in the world of film lovers. Being perfectly overjoyed with my version of the Seven Samurai DVD from 1998, I had no plans to upgrade, but a side by side comparison on an internet set peaked my curiosity. And yesterday, being at a local retailer, I saw it on the shelf and decided to spring for it.

Let me protest you….if ANY of you are on the fence about this one, particularly those of you who are mammoth fans of this extraordinary film, I sing you to go for it. The incompatibility between this edition and the previous edition is so drastic that I could not beget my eyes and ears. I have never had this experience with a DVD before, but the improvements in relate and sound quality are SO sizable that I actually felt like I was watching Seven Samurai for the first time. The clarity of the report is absolutely extraordinary. The graceful dusky and white tones are distinguished richer, but what’s most impressive is how nearly all the imperfections, scratches, and blemishes that were so prevalent on the previous edition have been removed. You can sigh why this edition took so long to come by released….Criterion obviously took alot of time with this one. Their efforts paid off. Also, the sound has been greatly improved as well. Not only have they cleaned up the unusual mono soundtrack, but they’ve added a stereo surround track as well. Normally, I cringe at these “original and improved” soundtracks on extinct films, but this track does not sound artificial at all, but rather more like an enhanced version of the mono track. The stereo surround track together with the dazzling recent report made for a fresh experience watching the film. You are collected watching the enormous Kurosawa classic that you know and fancy, but at the same time it seems that even more life has been breathed into it. Didn’t contemplate that was possible for such a perfect film, but Criterion proved any doubter base.

Please maintain in mind that I haven’t even gotten to the bonus materials, the commentary tracks, nor the very pleasing book yet. And there isn’t great more that I can say about this fantastic film that hasn’t already been said. Impartial based on the presentation of the film itself in this unique package from Criterion, I would highly recommend to everybody who loves this film and is thinking about upgrading their version of the film, that you do so. Its exquisite. And remember, this is coming from someone who doesn’t generaly care for “upgrades”.

Akira Kurosawa made “Seven Samurai” because he wanted to construct a valid “jidai-geki,” a true period-film that would demonstrate the past as meaningful, while also being an animated film. Kurosawa considered “Rashomon,” the film rightfully credited with making the West aware of the Japanese cinema, with being neither. But in his attempt to get a truly “realistic” film, Kurosawa redefined the conflict at the heart of Japanese films. Before “Seven Samurai” this conflict was that of care for versus duty, where the central character is compelled by fate to sacrifice what he loves in the name of duty. In “Seven Samurai” the focus remains on duty, yet the conflict is now between the dependable and the pretended. Calling yourself a samurai does not manufacture you one, something proven time and time again in the film, from the test of skill turned deadly between Kyuzo (Seiji Miyaguchi) and the gigantic samurai to the first appearance of Kikuchiyo (Toshirô Mifune), with his stolen pedigree. Like Katshushiro (Ko Kimura), the youngster who wants to learn from the master, Kambei (Takashi Shimura), the audience is educated as to the correct nature of the samurai.

For me this film deals with the valorous, albeit in realistic terms. I have shown the film in World Literature classes, after students have read Homer’s “Iliad” and as they commence reading Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” Within that context, compared to the brutal arrogance of Achilles and the gentle insanity of Quixote, the mettlesome qualities of the seven samurai become sure. Their inspiration extends to some of the villagers. Manzo (Kamatari Fujiwara) is crazed with horror over the virtue of his daughter, Shino (Keiko Tsushima), and Rikichi (Yoshio Tsuchiya) fights to avenge the disgrace of his wife and his precipitating the death of Heihachi (Minoru Chiaki), but it is the comical Yohei (Bokuzen Hidari), who finds within himself the ability to fight, a die a tragic death, who is the proper barometer for what the samurai mean to the village. But the greatest tragedy is that despite this most agreeable peril and the bodies buried in honor at the top of the village cemetery, this has been but a temporary union between the villagers and the samurai. When Kambei declares, “We have lost again,” he redefines the battles: it was not to extinguish all the bandits, it was to gather a suitable status in the world. Yet we should have already known this, for the painful truth was driven home when Kyuzo, the master swordsman, is gunned down from late. No better proof is needed in this film of the bitter truth that the world is not radiant.

Mifune is the maniacal spirit of this film, as the faux-samurai Kikuchiyo, the dancing whirlwind whose emotions overwhelm everything including himself. But it is Shimura as Kambei, who embodies the mentor mentality with a minimum of grief, evoking more by rubbing his hand over his shaved head or giving a single piercing leer than by any spoken dialogue. Even in a strong ensemble these performances stand out, for clearly different reasons. To fully be pleased Kurosawa’s mastery in “Seven Samurai” you need to look the film several times to better luxuriate in the device he constructs scenes, using contrasting images, evocative music and varying the length of cuts to affect tempo. For example, see carefully at how the early scene of the farmers searching the streets for samurai and the later sequence where Katsushiro watches Kyuzo and Kikuchiyo waiting for the bandit scouts to return to their horses. Both of these scenes are favorable primers to Kurosawa’s style.

For years we had to place with the 160-minute version of the film that was made for export, which was actually called “The Lovely Seven” until John Strugis’s Western remake. Fortunately, “Seven Samurai” has been restored to plump 208-minute glory, saved from being a lamentable cinematic tragedy on a par with “Greed,” “The Glowing Ambersons,” and “Ivan the Bad.” There is a sense in which “Seven Samurai” is truly my well-liked film, because it was the one that instilled in me a care for of cinema, of the craft and art of movie making, of compelling me to understand intellectually how Kurosawa was skillfully manipulating my emotions. The final battle sequences, fought and filmed in a torrent of rain, exhausting characters and audience alike with its increasingly relentless tempo, is given its potency because of the human elements that have been established in all that has taken dwelling before hand. “Seven Samurai” is a fine film against which the sizable majority of epics pale in comparison. Not even Kurosawa scaled these heights ever again.

Gilligan’s Island The Complete First Season is a must have for fans of the 1960’s comedy. Everything you could want is here. The 3-disc status includes all 36 episodes from the first season presented in standard dim and white. The episodes eye vast in unlit and white rather than that poor color that was inserted into them while on TBS. The DVD also includes the lost pilot episode with three different cast members alongside Gilligan, the Skipper, and the Howells. Also on the DVD are tropical tidbits about distinct episodes, profiles on how the cast was selected, and a tropical island survival guide.

The respectable cast really made this point to what it was. Bob Denver as Gilligan, Alan Hale JR as the Skipper, Jim Backus as Thurston Howell III, Natalie Schaefer as Lovie Howell, Tina Louise as Ginger, Russell Johnson as the Professor, and Dawn Wells as Mary Ann made up one of the best ensemble casts in television history. Fans of this worthy loved reveal should bustle out and steal Gilligan’s Island The Complete First Season. You will not be disappointed!

Gilligan’s Island has often been an object of ridicule for both professional critics and self-annointed intellectuals alike, most of whom point out the various implausibilities in the demonstrate (i.e., the Professor is an “idiot” because he can cause nuclear fission using coconuts but can’t accomplish a raft, the unliklihood of the Howells taking a “three hour tour” on an obviously inexpensive charter boat, let alone taking along three season’s worth of wardrobe and costumes with them, ad nauseum), but chances are these same critics have also seen many — if not all — the show’s episodes, and have enjoyed at least a few guilty laughs for their effort.

One of the reasons why Gilligan’s Island is such a grand indicate (it is the most re-run expose in the history of television, and that INCLUDES I Cherish Lucy) is precisely because it is so wacky, nonsensical, and flat-out ridiculous.

In Gilligan’s Island — The Complete First Season, viewers are treated to 34 recent episodes, uncut, including the rare pilot episode that contains three castmembers not included in the sincere demonstrate as seen on television. The episodes are in sunless and white, but this doesn’t detract from the fun.

The complete list and brief synopsis of each episode have already been written by other reviewers so I won’t kill your bandwith in repeating them, however I will say one thing: seeing these episodes brings help many fond memories for me, and I didn’t even realize how mighty of a fan of the point to I was until I watched this 3-DVD area.

I remember coming home from school in eigth grade each day and seeing Gilligan’s Island on TV, and that was over ten years ago. I hadn’t seen an episode of Gilligan’s Island in the intervening years until I bought the DVD area. It’s incredible, but I — and probably countless other people — could actually remember everything about the episodes, and my memory comes flooding befriend with the viewing of each one, correct down to the manner in which a character pronounces clear words, and the draw the Skipper cries out “Aeuph!” whenever Gilligan accidently hits his captain in the breadbasket, or inadvertantly drops something on his vulnerable feet, or the map Tina Louise’s mouth twitches in an oddly intriguing diagram when her report is shown on the program’s opening credits.

Gilligan’s Island is one of those shows that you can peek today and relish, even if you’ve never seen it, as long as you don’t query it to originate sense or follow any logic. It’s one of those show’s you can Adore if your viewing of that note is connected to fond memories of your gain past — as for me, it includes summer vacation, playing Sega Genesis, playing nerf football with my best friends Howie and Art, and watching Gilligan’s Island.

My friend Art has since become a lawyer, and Garth became an architect. I enlighten in a middle school. We all grow up, but Gilligan stays with us all along the scheme. It’s wise to occupy this position up, especially if you’re a fan of the note, because it’s one scheme you can relive and continue to live a worthy portion of your enjoy history.

There is no questioning the power of Godard. His cinematic talent reaches great farther than my mind could even open to speed, and upon watching some of his lesser known films these days - his sheer imagination was something that is decidedly missed in today’s film experience. Watching “Pierrot Le Fou”, the radiant color, the uncontrollable ability to combine any genre into one frame, and the dedication of his actors was demonstrated. A less-fan of his “Breathless” film and more into his experimental work, “Fou” was honest up my alley - yet, watching “Made in USA”, I was completely flabbergasted. This film was confusing, knowing, bright, philosophical, brutal, and a nick of what America was producing at the time, while all the while being completely Godard. Destined never to be a common among purists, “Made in USA” requires more than one viewing and an accompanying owner’s manual to navigate, but the final destination is worth all the work. Using Anna Karina as our guide, this spy-thriller (if I could say that) takes off with a ample step and never looks encourage.

Do not gape this movie slack at night or while doing anything that will cause you to scrutinize away from the shroud. Every moment in this film is notable, every word that Godard has our actors stammer - while at times confusing and opinion provoking - is needed to convey this dis-narrative narrative. Godard is a master slow the camera for this film - giving us an early ogle as to what was in store with “Pierrot Le Fou”, his doughty color and well read characters (each one is always holding a book - Bravo!), are fair the crust. What made “Made in USA” stand out was the definite connections to Walt Disney, the “Enormous Sleep”, and nearly everything coming out of the 60s in America, but what makes Godard impressive, is that one needs to search to peep it. He doesn’t spoon feed you a memoir that makes your heart gush at the kill, Godard creates attractive cinema that will not be enjoyed by all, but if developed - if watched over time - if studied, remains significant even 43 years later.

“Made in USA” is another Criterion release that looks and sounds perfectly, but - even with my discussion on how expansive Godard’s work is - isn’t the greatest release from the master. Yep, I am a Godard fan, but I am picky. I didn’t appreciate “Breathless”, but “Pierrot Le Fou” I beget very highly - and this - well, “Made in USA” is radiant, but perhaps a bit too pretentious. The concept slow this film is solid, but it is the execution that had me nervous. Godard is eloquent in introducing us to clear characters and elements, but gives them names of his favorites like McNamara and Nixon that objective feels weighted by symbolism and inside jokes. The viewing took location over the course of three days, not due to the diminishing subject, but because a rewind was needed to ensure that parts didn’t go missing or lost. Crafting one piece puzzle, one share social commentary, one allotment comedy is difficult - and for the beginning film watcher - this probably isn’t the best film to first experience Godard. Here is what I liked - I loved not radiant. What was exhilarating about this feature was the unknown. The confusing dialogue, the menacing tape tell, the constant barrage of planes flying overhead (if that IS what that noise was), and the possible hope of lustrous Richard’s last name - keeps one wanting to carry out, but getting there is a battle. The dialogue is either a admire or abominate moment. As there is no linear chronicle, from the spoken perspective, and it is easy to salvage lost in Godard’s cluttered words. For myself, it was at times refreshing - and at other times a effort. Without a linear yarn, it was difficult to understand how one character fit within the intention of events. What was happening between Paula and Mr. Typhus? Objective thinking about it gives me a headache.

The scenes that stood out in this film were the bartender moments (where you could call him Paul or Bartender, but not “sir”), the pinball machine in the garage, and the billboard store room characters. These made me chuckle and explore the humor that Godard was demonstrating, but the others fair felt dim and disjointed. Again, I would like to location that every scene was well-known, but were they spacious? The imagery was spectacular - giving us the color palette that he would later employ in “Pierrot Le Fou” - and the cinematography followed suit. For me, it was impartial the language the bogged me down. I wanted to know these characters further, I wanted to further know the chronicle of the skulled man, and who was double crossing who. “Made in USA” is an considerable film, I am gay to spy it within the Criterion catalogue, but it is an advanced film. The average film watcher will not like this movie, even I felt lost sometimes - but I am so very satisfied that I watched it.

In another review, this film was quoted as a “B-side” to the Godard cannon, and I couldn’t agree more. Could I explore this movie again? Absolutely, but not moral away. I peep forward to re-exploring this allotment of cinema, thought what I missed, and seeing the inside moments that may have slipped by me the first time. “Made in America” isn’t perfect, and I don’t know anyone that can win a ten minutes of a tape playing discussing politics, but this self-proclaimed “B-side” finally has a release it deserves.

Grade: *** 1/2 out of *****

This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.

Made in U.S.A, directed by Jean-luc Goddard is about a French writer who goes to meet her lover, bud discovers that he is unimaginative and attemps to investigate her death.

Many of the film’s characters have the same names as dependable life illustrious people.

I found the film hard to follow because of its editing style but liked how it was made.

The supplements include interviews with actors Anna Karina and Lászlo Szábó, a video essay about the film, a share about the political elements in the film and its companion portion, “2 or 3 Things I Know About Her.” Also included are the film’s current theatrical trailer and it’s rerelease trailer.
