I fancy Howard Hawks’ films…Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, Red River, and Rio Bravo are incredible pieces of entertainment. As I was watching Australia, the modern Baz Luhrmann movie with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, I kept thinking…man, Baz must really savor Hawks’ movies, too.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Australia! Click HereAs evidenced by the films above, the mismatched couple who fight and fight until they realize they’re perfect for each other (stare Remarkable Ado About Nothing, Taming of the Shrew, and Moonlighting as other examples of the build) and the group of underestimated misfits who near together to fight scandalous are two immense elements old again and again by Hawks. Throw in a bit of John Ford’s The Searchers and its hard eye at racism leading to inhuman deeds and mix well and you have…Australia.

The plight current audiences may have with Luhrmann’s unique movie is it’s very, very earnest. This is straight ahead myth storytelling with its heart on its sleeve and hat and boots with never a wink to the crowd in the theater to say “ain’t these people quaint”. You either capture in or you don’t. If you do, like I did, you’re in for a hell of a prance.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Australia! Click HereThis, I feel, is the flip-side to The Black Knight. Edifying and injurious are trapped in something akin to a battle and an embrace in Nolan’s Gotham City. You root for Batman, but he does stuff that is on the execrable side of freedom and civil rights. The Joker is pure crazy, but he’s the most mesmerizing character in the film. In Australia, there are righteous guys and poor guys and you are either really generous or twirl your mustache gross. The main villain actually may be a bit too two-dimensional in that aspect, but it didn’t harm my overall enjoyment.

Why? Well, yarn melodrama is hard to pull off…I’m talking about the proper stuff here. The novel BBC production of Bleak House is a grand example. There are very great and very, very terrible people in that fable, but the acting is so improbable you rarely if ever pick up yourself rolling your eyes (like whenever I’ve watched Smallville…see: poor legend melodrama) . Kidman and Jackman sell their characters…the displaced Englishwoman and the rough-hewn “Drover”. They are thrown together unbiased to, initially it seems, thwart a evil cattle baron from monopolizing the beef industry in the country. But the other immense record, the main one in fact, centers around Australia’s “lost generation”. These were Aboriginal children who were fathered by white men who didn’t claim them. They were taken by the government, the mothers had no rights, and handed over to the church to be taught to “act white” and then work in the servant class. Nullah, played by the amazing child actor Brandon Walters, is one of these “creamies” who has been hidden on the ranch now owned by Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman) . Lady Ashley discovers what is going on, is panicked by the law, and works to preserve him hidden as well. Why the Drover cares so great about Nullah becomes certain later in the film (no, it’s not what you mediate…that would be too easy) and Jackman’s experience with stage and musical work does him proud here. He can do earnest better than almost any actor alive when he needs to and his later employ of the f-word (the only curse I can remember from the entire film) hits so hard, in unbiased the suitable emotional moment, that it kills. Russell Crowe was originally cast as the Drover but backed out. If Crowe had done the film, and I have liked him in other things…the Napoleon-era British navy film that I can’t remember the name of factual now, it would not have worked. Crowe never loses that bit of edge and the Drover, at one point, really has to fully crash down and become completely vulnerable. Jackman shines at that point.

Anyway…a warning, the movie is long 2 hours and 40something minutes, but I didn’t realize that until I had left the theater. I saw it alone…I was out of town at a pediatrics meeting…and that’s a suited thing. I didn’t have to conceal from Holly the few times the movie hit me a bit too hard and do that cough-throat clearing thing we dudes do to mask up a stray run.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie when it was release slack last year given all the hype, and was not dissappointed!

Director, Baz Luhman, has served up a slab of nostalgia ala Australian style with all those shapely elements we adore from films of the 40’s and 50’s, breathtaking, sweeping landscapes, pleasing costumes and two ravishing actors in Kidman and Jackman who glean the essence of the film. It nostalgia in every sense of the word, in every frame. The acting style reminds us of Bogart, Grant, Bacall and Dunne. The memoir is legend in every scheme and impartial graceful. I loved the salute to “The Wizard of Oz”a really nice touch!

Of course we all know how it’s going to destroy. Watching Australia was like eating a box of Quality Street chocolates. Definite I know what I’m getting, but I smooth appreciate it.

For those of you who want to exhaust a few hours (and I mean a few; it’s almost 3 hours) being completely entertained then thisis the movie for you. I only wished they had inserted an interval on it’s theatrical release and made the whole event at the movies a loyal nostalgic experience.

I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t like this movie, unless you fair aren’t up for a feel agreeable record. I want to witness more movies being made like this!!!! Well done to all!!!

It is important that you know exactly what Image of an Assassination is before you decide to spend your money on it. The entire focus of the DVD is Abraham Zapruder’s 26-second, 8 mm film showing the assassination of John F. Kennedy from start to finish. This is not a “who shot JFK?” documentary - there’s no place for conspiracy theories or defenses of the Warren Commission conclusions to be found here. This is a new and much improved look at the single most important piece of evidence in the assassination of President Kennedy, complemented by a look at the process behind the digitalization of the film. There is no real analysis of the film, and no allusion to the criticisms some have made about the integrity of the film. Any conclusions to be made are left up to the viewer, and this video gives the viewer the ultimate look at this most famous, most important home video ever made.

The documentary does provide a timeline for the original film’s travel across the decades, beginning on the morning of November 22, 1963, when the meek and mild Abraham Zapruder was encouraged to go home and get his camera so that he could film the passing of the Presidential motorcade. You get a brief personal look at Zapruder himself, a most reluctant of celebrities, including footage of the interview he gave to TV station WFAA hours after the assassination. There are interviews with several individuals associated with Zapruder and Time Life, the company which bought the rights to the film in the days after the assassination. You will follow the trail of the original film to the possession of Time Life (oddly, there is no mention of the mysteriously reversed frames that were printed in Life magazine shortly after the assassination) and, in 1975, back to the Zapruder family (it was sold back for $1). Time Life was feeling a little heat from the public for supposedly suppressing the original film itself after an obviously second-generation copy was unveiled to the American television public by ABC on Geraldo Rivera’s talk show Good Night America in March of that year. The Zapruder family asked the National Archives to take possession of the film so that it could be stored under optimal conditions, and that is where the original 26-second film remains.

At this point, we get into the recent project to make a digital copy of the original film, one that could be made available to researchers and the public at large. Every time the original film is taken out of cold storage and viewed, deterioration is possible, and indeed some problems have been caused by the copying of the film way back in 1963. It is an impressive, laborious, strictly controlled process of a highly technical, ruthlessly documented nature, but it is much more than that. The digitalization process allowed for the vast improvement of the original film’s quality. Each frame was scanned at resolutions up to 1500 dpi so that the footage could be blown up larger, dust and scratches were removed (except for those around the splices, which were just too damaged), and the sequencing is well nigh perfectly done. Best of all, though, we can now view the each frame from one film edge to the other, including all of the sprocket holes. Thus, some details can now be seen for the very first time.

The video is only 45 minutes long, culminating in several normal speed and slow-motion versions of the new and improved Zapruder film. The detail and color is amazing, but is this ultimate version of the 26-second film worth the money to you? If you are a casual JFK assassination nut, perhaps not. If you are serious about your armchair JFK assassination sleuthing, however, Image of an Assassination is a bargain at any price. Hordes of researchers over the years would have given their right arms for a version of the film half as clear as this one. The Zapruder film is the most crucial piece of evidence we have from November 22, 1963; Image of an Assassination gives you access to the Holy Grail of JFK assassination evidence.

Here it is in all it’s gory glory. The most important record from that fateful day in Dealey Plaza - the Zapruder film. I bought a copy of this film on VHS when it first came out in 1998. I don’t recall whether it had all the extras that this version has but it’s nice to finally own it on DVD. I just finished reading Robert J. Groden’s The Killing Of A President (an excellent collection of photographic evidence) and wanted to view the Zapruder film one more time. This DVD contains 4 different versions of the assassination as well as the entire interview of Abraham Zapruder from later that day and the entire Goodnight America segment (featuring Groden) . We owe Abraham Zapruder a debt of thanks for being in the right place at the wrong time to record this historic footage. Thank you Abraham.

Let’s just clarify at the beginning. If you are looking to just own the movie, buy the less expensive regular BEDTIME STORIES DVD. However, if you or your family enjoys the special features that usually are included with movies, you’ll want to purchase this, the DELUXE DVD EDITION of BEDTIME STORIES.

In 2008 Sandler starred in two movies. One (YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN) was a complete bust on all accounts. The other was BEDTIME STORIES, a film the critic meeting with mediocrity, but that was made major box office during the Christmas season. The film has a pretty decent story line with enough laughs for kids and adults and is actually quite family friendly (the movie was the first Happy Gilmore Production to receive a PG rating).

Sandler portrays Skeeter Bronson the son of a father (Jonathan Pryce) who attempted to fulfill his life dream of owning and operating a small hotel. However, Skeeter’s dad just isn’t a very good businessmen and ends up having to sell his hotel to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths), but only on the condition that when Skeeter is grown that he will be made manager. The deal is struck and Nottingham tears down the quaint hotel and builds a luxurious, mega-hotel. He keeps Skeeter around as the head janitor, but soon forgets the promise he made. When Skeeter learns that Nottingham is going to be building a new hotel, he believes this is his big break, but then Nottingham announces his future son-in-law, Kendall (Guy Pierce) will be the manager of the new hotel. Skeeter is heartbroken. However, he does have other matters to occupy part of his time because his sister, Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks Skeeter to watch over her kids, Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heti) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling), in the evenings and overnight. Wendy has already arranged for a friend of hers, Jill (Keri Russell) to watch the kids during the day but in the evenings she has classes to attend. Initially Skeeter is a bit hesitant with the kids and he absolutely abhors Jill. However, after an evening of bedtime stories the kids are hooked and bond is made between them. The next morning events from the bedtime story he told that night before begin to come true. Skeeter is amazed and then attempts to manipulate his nephew and niece ideas to allow his own dreams come true, but true to life, things don’t exactly turn out the way he imagines.

I really enjoyed BEDTIME STORIES. The idea of the film is not exactly a new one, but it was done in a fresh and interesting way. The film has a great amount of family humor, with nothing too gross and very little crudity. The movie also has some very positive messages about family and living in a community. Bedtime stories can have a major impact upon children and I really enjoyed how the filmmakers used this concept as a way of strengthening the bonds between emotionally-distanced family members. Unlike some other recent Sandler projects, BEDTIME STORIES has no pretensions about being some kind of movie it isn’t. It’s just an enjoyable and quality family movie which also happens to be the best movie Adam Sandler has made in years.

The Deluxe DVD Edition of BEDTIME STORIES has the same movie and trailers as the regular DVD. However, as mentioned at the beginning, the Deluxe DVD Edition is the DVD you want to purchase if you like special features. The special features on this 2-disc set include the featurette “Until Gravity Do Us Part”, which is a look at the special effects of the movie; “It’s Bugsy”–a special look at the big-eyed and hearted guinea pig of the film; “To All the Little People”; a special look at Blu-ray entitled “Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-ray is Suite”; bloopers, deleted scenes, and a few other surprises.

I own a Philips BDP 7200Philips Blu-ray Disc Player, BDP7200/37 and out of the 20 titles I own Bedtime stories does not work in this Blu Ray player. The firmware is up to date on the player and I notified Philips. Other than that this Disney movie is quite good and great for all family. Adam Sandler does well in his role and it’s good to have imagination as many movies simply don’t have enough of these days. For now I’ll just have to enjpy the DVD disc of the movie until Philips can get an update to fix this bug. It’ll play the previewa only and when it tries to load the main feature it loops the previews over again. I tried another copy from Best Buy and it does the same thing so it’s my player.

You’re getting all 68 episodes (Including Pilot and Finale) spread out across 11 single sided discs. Unlike the Canadian releases, there are no flipper discs to be found in this complete set. Each disc has 6 episodes on it (Instead of the usual 4) Which brings me to my only complaint.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Due South: The Ultimate Collection - Three Complete Seasons! Click Here

These discs are the same as the US releases seen here on Amazon. (Priced at 20 apiece) The 1st and 3rd season are each spread out across 4 discs, and the 2nd season across 3 discs. (11 total) While picture quality is not up to our standards of say… Lost. Due South wasn’t a high profile, big budget show to begin with. I’m not going to lie. The show could look better with re-mastering. But as long as you have a decent TV, it certainly looks better then when it was broadcasted. Certainly better then VHS, thats for sure.

The quality complaint is mostly aimed at the first season though. Season 2 and 3 look much cleaner and clearer. At a price of $33, I’d expect much worse. Quality’s no more worse then the first few seasons of the X-files. It’s a semi successful 90’s TV show, what does one expect?

Buy,Download, Or Stream Due South: The Ultimate Collection - Three Complete Seasons! Click Here

All 11 discs are housed in what is essentially a fat DVD case. It takes up very little space on the shelf. (See customer photo’s) If the case was dropped though, expect a pile of plastic. Though the discs won’t get harmed.

So again, you’re getting the complete series, all 4 seasons in there American release. Meaning season 3 and 4 were combined to make a single 3rd season. Whether it’s the Canadian listing, or the American listing, it’s always going to be 68 episodes in total. The box set has no special features. Most importantly though, no flipper discs. I got this for $33 on Amazon.ca, which is very cheap for a complete show with 68 episodes.

It doesn’t look like Due South is getting a re-mastered Blu-ray treatment anytime soon (Though it obviously should) With all the confusing DVD’s releases, the split up seasons, and flipper disc/quality issues, this is the most affordable and easiest way to get the complete show on DVD. Unless you want to spend the extra cash on the UK season sets, this is a must buy for fans who do not own the show.

Did I mention how great the show is?

FYI - Since the listing doesn’t let you know specifically, Season 3 in Due South: The Ultimate Collection INCLUDES Call of the Wild Parts 1 & 2 so you don’t need to purchase the separate DVD.

FANTASTIC series! If you like Paul Gross, be sure to check out Slings & Arrows, a mini-series available on DVD!

LE GRAND VOYAGE is a gentle miracle of a film, a work made more profound because of its understated script by writer/director Ismaël Ferroukhi who allows the natural scenery of this ‘road trip’ story and the sophisticated acting of the stars Nicolas Cazalé and Mohamed Majd to carry the emotional impact of the film. Ferroukhi’s vision is very capably enhanced by the cinematography of Katell Djian (a sensitive mixture of travelogue vistas of horizons and tightly photographed duets between characters) and the musical score by Fowzi Guerdjou who manages to maintain some beautiful themes throughout the film while paying homage to the many local musical variations from the numerous countries the film surveys.

Reda (Nicolas Cazalé) lives with his Muslim family in Southern France, a young student with a Western girlfriend who does not seem to be following the religious direction of his heritage. His elderly father (Mohamed Majd) has decided his time has come to make his Hadj to Mecca, and being unable to drive, requests the reluctant Reda to forsake his personal needs to drive him to his ultimate religious obligation. The two set out in a fragile automobile to travel through France, into Italy, and on through Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, and Turkey to Saudi Arabia. Along the trip Reda pleads with his father to visit some of the interesting sights, but his father remains focused on the purpose of the journey and Reda is irritably left to struggle with his father’s demands. On their pilgrimage they encounter an old woman (Ghina Ognianova) who attaches herself to the two men and must eventually be deserted by Reda, a Turkish man Mustapha (Jacky Nercessian) who promises to guide the father/son duo but instead brings about a schism by getting Reda drunk in a bar and disappearing, and countless border patrol guards and custom agents who delay their progress for various reasons. Tensions between father and son mount: Reda cannot understand the importance of this pilgrimage so fraught with trials and mishaps, and the father cannot comprehend Reda’s insensitivity to the father’s religious beliefs and needs. At last they reach Mecca where they are surrounded by hoards of pilgrims from all around the world and the sensation of trip’s significance is overwhelming to Reda. The manner in which the story comes to a close is touching and rich with meaning. It has taken a religious pilgrimage to restore the gap between youth and old age, between son and father, and between defiance and acceptance of religious values.

The visual impact of this film is extraordinary - all the more so because it feels as though the camera just ‘happens’ to catch the beauty of the many stopping points along the way without the need to enhance them with special effects. Nicolas Cazalé is a superb actor (be sure to see his most recent and currently showing film ‘The Grocer’s Son’) and it is his carefully nuanced role that brings the magic to this film. Another fine film from The Film Movement, this is a tender story brilliantly told. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, September 08

In this French-Moroccan road movie, a father and son travel by car from France to Saudi Arabia. For the father, it is his once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca. For the teenage son, completely westernized, with a non-Muslim girlfriend and school exams to take, it is the worst possible turn of events. They quarrel much of the way or press on in bitter silence, as the road takes them through Italy, the Balkans, Turkey, Syria and Jordan. Along the way, there is trouble at border crossings and they pick up riders - not always willingly. Eventually, in a blow-up over a gift of money to a begging woman at a well in the desert, they reach a crisis that threatens to separate them.

As travelogue, the film is fascinating. European landscapes give way dramatically in Turkey to the East, with a visit to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul and a nightclub with singing and dancing. Intensity builds as their journey converges with that of other pilgrims until they merge with the vast crowds from all over the Muslim world in Mecca. The performances are fine, as the mercurial emotions of the son drive his moods in conflicting directions and the stolid father clings stubbornly to his own determination to do it all his way. A winner at the Venice Film Festival.

MTV wanted to branch out in the 1990s and get away from music programming. In particular, they wanted to produce late night programming for a young adult audience. The result was a collection of animated shows collectively known as Liquid Television. Aeon Flux originally got its start as a series of animated short films on Liquid T.V. in 1992. It was a clever mix of dialogue-less wall-to-wall action and an intriguing science fiction premise that was popular enough to spawn a ten-episode series in 1995.

Chung has digitally remastered all of the episodes and they have never looked or sounded better. The colours are much more vibrant and the animation style more clearly defined with shadows fleshed out creating an even more cinematic vibe. What is so striking about Aeon Flux is that it refuses to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It features very intricately plotted and complex stories and sneaks in all sorts of fantastical creations (including spider-like robots and deadly genetically engineered assassins with four arms), suggestive sexual references and the level of violence that you wouldn’t find on regular television. Along with The Maxx and The Head, Aeon Flux was adventurous programming for the alternative nation. It was produced at a time when alternative culture was making serious inroads into the mainstream and it is doubtful that we will see its likes again from MTV.

The first two discs feature several audio commentaries with creator Peter Chung and key creative crew members (including the voice of Aeon Flux herself, Denise Poirier). However, most of them are tedious as Chung is not the most eloquent or interesting speaker. He dominates most of the tracks so that everyone else has to fight to get a word in edge-wise. While it is clear that he is trying to articulate his intentions on these tracks they are punctuated with so many “Ums” and “Ahs” that it becomes very annoying to listen past the halfway mark.

The real extras come into play on the third disc which features the brilliant pilot episode with optional commentary by Chung and music and sound designer Drew Neumann. We are presented with a world that is plagued with a deadly virus as Aeon fights her way to an antidote.

“Aeon Flux Shorts” (again with optional commentary by Chung and Neumann) features Aeon on various missions all of which she dies. In some episodes she lasts to the end in others, she is killed off at the beginning and this keeps the viewer constantly on edge anticipating how she is going to be killed.

“Investigation: The History of Aeon Flux” takes a look at how this innovative series originated. Chung had been working on Rugrats and was approached by Liquid T.V. to do a Spy vs. Spy type animated show. He had already been working on the pilot in a rough form.

“The Deviant Devices of Aeon Flux” examines the various weapons and gadgets that she uses in the show with narration provided by her.

“Production Art” is a collection of sketches, model sheets, storyboards and pencil tests of character designs, props, backgrounds and so on.

“Other Works by Peter Chung” features a promo he did for MTV Loaded, an ad for an Aeon Flux CD ROM and a cool commercial for the Honda Coupe Mission.

Finally, there is a collection of “Liquid Television Shorts” that appeared on this show in the `90s.

For those upset about the re-recorded dialogue, here’s an explanation from Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung:

‘There are places where we recorded new dialogue; I brought back the writers who worked on the original show and we wnet over the scripts and tweaked the dialogue again, and in some cases brought it back to what it originally was supposed to be because MTV had asked us to change it and the version that was on the air was actually something that did not reflect our original intentions anyway. So I know that people who consider themselves purists will say “why did you tamper with it? We want the original version.” Well, the version that was on the show was not the original version, you know - that’s the version that MTV tampered with. So what you’re getting on the DVD is something that’s closer to what [we originally intended].’

Weiss Kreuz Gluhen is a decent series in my opinion. It’s not on the great level but it’s decent. I loved the characters and the plot went along smoothly. I haven’t seen the original series but I hear the character designs were changed due to legal issues. The characters in this season are different from those in the other seasons. This is definitely enjoyable but it’s not over the top excellent.

Many reviewers are expressing their frustration at this short series for not living up to the original. Not having seen the original, I can offer an opinion of the series unbiased by comparisons. As with most Anime, I looked up the series on Wikipedia to distinguish between the characters, the different iterations of the series, etc. Amazon *does* describe this product accurately, if you read the series description. If you read the Wikipedia entry, you’d know to be wary of this.

Weiss Kreuz Gluehen (lit. “Glowing White Cross”) - Knight Hunters Eternity IS separate and different from the earlier series as a result of a lawsuit. Just the way it is.

That said, artistically I found this series quite beautiful. The plot starts off a little bit slow, to establish the new characters introduced in this series. But soon enough the plot thickens, there are twists, turns, betrayals, defiance of orders, and retribution. Like much Japanese anime, this series does not shirk from killing off major characters, and the body count in this series is staggeringly high.

There’s a goodly bit of blood and gore, though not as extreme as say, Elfen Lied.

The animation is well done, the characters have very convoluted, troubled pasts that weigh heavily upon each of them. The ending of the series is a nominal victory for Weiss, but it takes a heavy, tragic toll on all of them. Still, it is an emotionally satisfying ending, if you have a sufficient appreciation for tragedy, irony and poetic justice.

I hold back from giving the series 5 stars because of the horrible mispronunciation if the German words used in the series in the English dub. I cringed at hearing “Rosenkreuz” pronounced “Rosencruise”, and there was not one hint of a German accent among any of the voice actors doing the German characters. This series was recorded in NYC, and they couldn’t cast a single actor who could do a passable German accent for those characters? Unbelievable (and for comparision, Satella Harvenheit in Chrono Crusade was a bit exaggerated in her accent, but at least it was still believable)! Still, the voice actors did a great job fleshing out their characters, there is a lot of emotion and pathos that went into their various performances, and my hat’s off to them. My favorite voice actors are still the Houston-based ADV Films crew, but these (NYAV Post) were acceptable.

Don’t forget to check out the “outtakes” feature of the individual volumes…mostly bloopers, and the voice actors/director screwing around & having fun–they are hysterically funny, and this is something I wish ADV Films would do for their DVDs…

This was a very grand action flick. Decent storyline, quick paced. Easily one of Jet Li’s best performances, with capable relieve from Morgan Freeman. There is a obliging bit of humor as “Danny” becomes acclimated to living as a normal human being.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Unleashed! Click HereHowever, this film is BRUTALLY VIOLENT! The fight scenes are not your typical martial arts kicking and punching. Danny breaks bones, breaks necks, rips people apart and the sound effects can be disturbing. The R-rated version was definitely not for the under-sixteen crowd, and I’m definite the unrated slice will be even more so. Cautiously recommended.

If you esteem Jet Li and his improbable acrobatic martial art skills, then this one is for you. Being an English speaking describe they had to work around Jet’s dinky English. The narrative however is perfect for that. Jet is a killing machine that has literally been raised like a dog by a cruel master who uses him to enforce his extortion racket as well as using him to fight in an illegal combat arena where victory only comes with your opponents death. Li escapes his lifelong captures and takes up with a blind piano tuner(Morgan Freeman) and his daughter who roar him that there is something more to life than killing. But of course his old-fashioned master wants him befriend and all hell breaks lose. This is a gigantic action describe with a blooming obliging fable if you suspend a dinky concept. For example there are no police around despite daylight street fights and gun battles, and no one ever questions why a rag heed Jet Li is walking around with a dog collar on. But don’t let that extinguish a gracious narrate for you.

The idea of teaming Robert Mitchum with Dean Martin certainly had potential, but no one bothered to provide a worthwhile vehicle. “Five Card Stud” (1968) is a ludicrous Western “whodunit” directed by the usually reliable Henry Hathaway. Nothing works here - even Dino’s title song falls flat. It’s hard to believe Mitchum turned down “The Wild Bunch” in favor of this turkey.

This is a fine mystery thiller under the guise of a western.
The movie opens with a card game and one player accused of cheating,this player is hanged. Soon members of the card game
begin to die one by one. Card player Dean Martin attempts to
find out who the killer is before he ends up dead. While there
are a few suspects, most viewers will soon figure out who the
killer is. Why is not revealed till the end. Still this is a
movie that works, this is due to the entertaining cast. Dean

Martin retains his easy going style, while Robert Mitchum brings
a performance that is edgy and not as straight forward as he
appears. Roddy McDowall delivers an entertaining performance
as the spoiled rich kid at odds with Dean Martin. Yapphet Kotto
gives a strong performance as the bartender who helps Dean work
out the mystery. I have seen this movie a few times and enjoy
it due to the cast, as well as to the scenery. Attention to detail is well thought out in this western town. So saddle up.

I have long wondered when Funimation would finally salvage the rights to the first thirteen episodes of Dragon Ball allowing them to release a beneficial status. Now after all that waiting it’s finally going to happen and their giving us the first two sagas and beginning of the third all in one site! I’m happy to read from Gen Fukunaga, president at CEO at FUNimation Entertainment, that the recent thirteen episodes will be redone uncut as up til now they’ve only been properly available in a highly edited DVD region titled ‘The Saga of Goku’. While I happily purchased that location long ago from LionsGate Entertainment I’m more than cheerful to upgrade to this residence if it means finally owning those first thirteen uncut episodes.
This location will own the following 31 episodes from the Goku/Pilaf, Tournament and Red Ribbon Army Sagas:

There haven’t been any trusty extras on Funimation sets other than previews for their other DVD releases so I wouldn’t count on finding any here. The position is said to include English and Japanese language options with the current Japanese musical obtain in 5.1 Surround. I’m elated Funimation and Amazon are announcing the place as Tubby Mask Aspect Ratio because though I adapted to the cropped ‘widescreen’ Dragon Ball Z sets I can’t imagine watching Dragon Ball in anything other than 4:3 aspect ratio. I’m so wrathful for this to reach out and can’t have that my long standing wish to have the first uncut season of Dragon Ball is finally coming fair. Thanks For Your Time.

Dragonball fans have been waiting for a obedient Dragonball dvd area for years. Due to the fact that lionsgate owned the rights to the first 13 episodes and the first movie, we have NEVER had all the Dragonball episodes uncut on dvd. So now it is time to indulge in this series uncut, uncropped (fullscreen aspect ratio 4:3) in the arrangement it was meant to be seen. With the first 31 episodes on dvd, Dragonball fans will be overjoyed.
