Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Georgina Terry plays Pollyanna with a sweet faced, ever-happy style that suits the plot. It's pretty faithful to the original plot of the missionary's daughter, orphaned and coming to live with a strict aunt. As Pollyanna plays her "Glad Game" and teaches it to the problem characters, the villagers'...

Barney: It's Time for Counting (1992) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a cute video. My son is a little young for it to hold his attention the whole way through, but he enjoys the singing and dancing a lot. It should be said that the title and packaging are a bit misleading. It's not really about counting. Rather, there's an actual storyline involving a Mary Poppins...

Rescue Heroes - The Movie Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am so glad to have found this Rescue Heroes movie and the Rescue Heroes toys! My 4 year old son came home from daycare playing (acting out) Power Rangers, and all he was doing was wanting to kick, punch, shoot, and fight. I was desperate for an alternative which was action packed and definately still...
Wisdom (1986) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got to thinking about this movie the other day while cracking open my new "High School Reunion Collection' DVDs. The last time I saw it was on ridiculously late night television about ten years ago. Even on awfully edited television it still had a certain rawness to it. It wasn't bad raw but, good...

Scooby-Doo's Creepiest Capers Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I echo the sentiments of the last reviewer - my 2 1/2 year old daughter adores Scooby Doo (as did I as a child) but when are we going to see the 6 or 7 original episodes come out that have never been released on VHS, DVD, or anything? It seems like the same old episodes (no matter how great they are)...

Lethal Weapon: The Complete Series (1987) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I almost bought this but have discovered the hard way that you should ALWAYS research the DVD especially for uncut versions and missing footage. This box set contains the old cut versions and NOT the directors cut DTS versions. LW 1-3 are out on DTS and LW 4 is only available in DD 5.1 and actually contains...

Loving Sex - 101 Advanced Sexual Positions for Lovers (2006) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This DVD features a wide variety of unusual positions. Some of them require use of a specifically shaped pillow or wedge, which look like they would be a great addition to any bedroom. Better leverage is always good! Some of the devices are for the more adventurous types, but there are others we didn't...
A Nanny For Christmas (2010) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this because it was new on Amazon and we wanted a couple of new Christmas movies this year. The format of this is like a made-for-TV movie--88 minutes running time. This is very cute and tame, but I would rate it PG only because little kids might not enjoy it like they would a Toy Story or other...

Pete's Dragon (Disney Gold Classic Collection) (1977) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Pete's Dragon" (1977) has become a somewhat forgotten Disney movie that was originally inspired by the success of Mary Poppins (45th Anniversary Special Edition) as a live-action/animation musical. The story finally got the green-light in 1975; songs were by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn, and an all-star...

No Deposit, No Return (1976) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a typical Disney live-action film of the 70's. The comedy is thin at times (you almost expect a laugh-track to kick in at any moment to say "This is supposed to be funny"), but it has its moments. Don Knotts does well in his role, but he a little underused. Still, it's a good way for a family...

Wake (2008) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I would highly recommend this movie. It will keep you smiling from the beginning to the end. Also, has a surprising twist. Ian Somerhalder is absolutely fantastic (love his beautiful blue eyes) and Bijou Phillips is adorable (she reminds me of a young Goldie Hawn). Buy it today!Click Here to see more...

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (2009) Review

I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. Now that thats out...

Freeway (1996) Review

Weiss, of The Pretender,...
Chocolate Sundaes Presents Live On Sunset Strip (2008) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Well, this DVD banks on Katt Williams... but it's 20 minutes of his old material, presented much better in "The Pimp Chronicles" release. Katt even mentions "It's 2004" and Sam Tripoli's cracking Kobe Bryant jokes to put a date on things. It would have been much better to try and get this released earlier,...

The Thin Blue Line: The Complete Line-Up (2004) Review

To learn more about the show, please read some of the other reviews. My review (and my only complaint with this dvd set) is based on the startling omissions present on the dvd set!My wife and I purchased...

The Ten Commandments (2006) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In terms of adjusted box office, Cecile B. DeMille's 1956 film "The Ten Commandments" is the fifth biggest grossing movie of all time, ahead of "Titanic," but behind "Gone With the Wind," "Star Wars," "The Sound of Music," and "E.T." There was a sense in which that film, with the parting of the Red Sea...
The Exorcist - The Complete Anthology (The Exorcist/ The Exorcist- Unrated/ The Exorcist II: The Heretic/ The Exorcist III/ The Exorcist: The Beginning/ The Exorcist: Dominion) (1977) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)You can find this set for around $25 and for that price it's definitely worth it. True, the first one is the best (I prefer the original over the "Version You've Never Seen", but they're still both very good), but the third one isn't that bad (in fact, I think it's pretty good) And neither version of...
