Couldn't be more excited.......2007-06-27

I absolutely loved it. As soon as I recieved I watched the entire first season. The only problem that I have is that in some parts it freezes like from a scratch but it isn't too bad. Love shopping at amazon

Perfect purchase.......2007-06-27

I bought the box set as a gift for my boyfriend, and he was really pleased with it. The box is strong enough to have the DVDs, the booklet is very useful, and also when you play a DVD in you computer a software from WB can be installed automatically so you can watch the episodes using that program. Regarding the quality of the DVDs, I have no complaints, the image is good, the sound too, plus you have different language subtitles to practice with. And one more thing, I was afraid that the box would be delived to me practically in pieces because of the shipment period (two weeks and a bit more)and because of some review I read, but it was in perfect conditions. You should definitely buy this Product!

This is automatic brownie points with your lady!!.......2007-06-27

I can't say I was a fan of the show in the beginning of its run. I tend to watch more cartoons than sitcoms. When I first met my girlfriend, she got me into watching this show. At first I only watched it because that meant I got to sit and hold her for 30 minutes; but the show kinda grew on me.

I like friends, and even though they didn't really have any other RACES on the show as regulars, you could find a piece of yourself in at least one of the six characters.

I am definately Chandler.

Oh My God! .......2007-06-25

Excellent option if you want to have all ten seasons at the same time, and at a very cheap price. It was delivered in ten days here to Mexico. And yes, it does have spanish subtitles.

I have one question.......2007-06-25

I'm fron guatemala, and I want to know if the DVD contains subtitles in spanish, please someone who get the collection answer me!!

Amazon.com essential video

The Crow set the standard for dark and violent comic-book movies (like Spawn or director Alex Proyas's superior follow-up, Dark City), but it will forever be remembered as the film during which star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed on the set by a loaded gun. The filmmakers were able to digitally sample what they'd captured of Lee's performance and piece together enough footage to make the movie releasable. Indeed, it is probably more fascinating for that post-production story than for the tale on the screen. The Crow is appropriately cloaked in ominous expressionistic shadows, oozing urban dread and occult menace from every dank concrete crack, but it really adds up to a simple and perfunctory tale of ritual revenge. Guided by a portentous crow (standing in for Poe's raven), Lee plays a deceased rock musician who returns from the grave to systematically torture and kill the outlandishly violent gang of hoodlums who murdered him and his fiancée the year before. The film is worth watching for its compelling visuals and genuinely nightmarish, otherworldly ambience. --Jim Emerson

Description

Catch the explosive, action-packed hit that thrilled moviegoers and dazzled critics everywhere! Brandon Lee (RAPID FIRE) plays Eric Draven, a young rock guitarist who, along with his fiancee, is brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals. Exactly one year after his death, Eric returns -- watched over by a hypnotic crow -- to seek revenge, battling the evil crime lord and his band of urban thugs, who must answer for their crimes. Loaded with intense, nonstop action and a hot #1 hit soundtrack, THE CROW delivers exhilarating, fast-paced entertainment!

Amazing........2007-06-02

First time I saw this film, I watched it on VHS. Not that great. It was extremely dark and I had a hard time seeing things. I popped in the DVD and WOW! I could see what was going on! It's great. The story is beautiful, dark but powerful. I highly recommend this film. Especially this eddition.

classic.......2007-05-27

1994 saw the release of Alex Proyas' cult-classic "The Crow". The plot of the film is pretty straightforward; a vigilante killer, one year after the murder of himself and his girlfriend, goes out for revenge. In terms of the plot there aren't a lot of twists and the film is, dare I say...predictable...You know exactly how the film will unfold twenty minutes into it. Apart from the fact the vigilante has risen from the dead, movies with similar plots have been done before. Still, almost immediately after its release, "the Crow" achieved cult-status, enjoying a large, dedicated following. Why is that, exactly?

One reason that "The Crow" has struck a nerve with people is its theme of love defying death. The reunion scene between Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and Shelly Webster (Sofia Shinas) is one of most bittersweet moments in film that I can recall. The relationship between the "good" characters (and there are very few) is also quite touching. Sarah (Rochelle Davis) is a quite likeable kid and there is genuine warmth in her scenes with her dysfunctional mother, Lee and Sergeant Albrecht (Ernie Hudon).

Most of the thugs in this film, apart from "Top Dollar" (Michael Wincott) are pretty generic. They are so vile, however, that it's satisfying when Lee takes them all down. The dark atmosphere, (dark streets, urban decay, cemeteries) cinematography, and action sequences are all quite exciting and well done.

Even if the film, at its core, (vigilante killer after bad guys) doesn't have the most original story line, the rich charectors, setting and themes of friendship and undying love more than make up for it. The abundance of excellent music (NIN, The Cure, RATM, there isn't a bad song on the soundtrack, infact) throughout the film is also a great bonus.

While Brandon Lee, sadly, never got a chance to really develop as an actor, his role of Eric Draven in this film no doubt ensures that his legacy has at least one classic.

Received product very quickly and on time, and product was in very good condition... extremely satisfied with this order!

Must See.......2007-03-08

If you ever wanted to see the greatest movie of all times this it. Brandon Lee is by the far the best of all of the series. It is a shame that he had to die so young.

One of the Best Movies of the 1990's.......2007-02-28

It is a tragedy that Brandon Lee died while making this film. Had he lived, the Crow sequels would have been much better.

The Crow is an action packed movie that moves at a quick pace. It set the standard for the dark cinema of the 1990's.

The Title Says It All!.......2007-05-29

"Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show!" as announced in the opening main title by veteran voice artist Dick Tufeld (Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Thundarr the Barbarian) was the next to last incarnation of the long-running Super Friends series.

Based on the Super Powers toy line of the time featuring select DC Comics heroes including hero Firestorm (a long-time personal favorite of mine), Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show (1984) is most revered as the Super Friends series that first introduced Firestorm the Nuclear Man in animated form, along with evil Apokalips lord Darkseid. Not to mention Adam West reprising his caped crusader role as the voice of this show's animated Batman.

Though still "Super Friends fun," the art and animation for "Super Powers" was diminished to rather cartoony proportions, as most Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the time (Challenge of the GoBots, Scary Scooby Funnies) tended to be. Dedicated SF fans will overlook it, while those spoiled on today's animation may not be so inclined. Firestorm's transformation scene still looks cool though. Plus the tone of the show is *slightly* more intense (for Super Friends) than the previous versions thanks to the presence of Darkseid. So while the quality of the show is down a bit, it still remains highly watchable.

Comprised of 16 episodes totaling 8 half hours (all 15 minute shorts), this "Super Powers" collection also may seem limited, especially to SF fans who were hoping that the follow-up series Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians episodes would be included on the set. However, unlike the previous collections (each also containing 16 episodes, but were wrongly/confusingly titled "The First Season" and "Volume Two"), Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show - The Complete Series is properly titled and contains exactly what the title says. Look for "Galactic Guardians" to follow suit later on in its own similar complete set.

Superfriends: The Legendary Supers Powers Show - The Complete Series is a 2-disc set featuring all episodes from the 1984-1985 season; Full-Frame (1.33:1) video; plus the following Special Features: "Evolution: New Heroes, Viler Villains, and Ethnic Additions": Featurette on the impact of the Super Friends era of cultural diversity in animation; "The Super Powers Collection": Featurette covers the correlation between the Super Friends and the toy industry; Commentary: On 5 key episodes by experts.

Episodes:
1. The Bride of Darkseid (Part I)
2. The Bride of Darkseid (Part II)
3. The Case of the Dreadful Dolls
4. The Case of the Shrinking Super Friends
5. The Curator
6. Darkseid's Golden Trap (Part I)
7. Darkseid's Golden Trap (Part II)
8. The Island of the Dinasoids
9. The Mask of Mystery
10. Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Magic Lamp
11. No Honor Among Super-Thieves
12. Reflections in Crime
13. The Royal Ruse
14. Super Brat
15. The Wrath of Brainiac
16. The Village of Lost Souls

Probably one of the best SF series ever.......2007-05-02

Yes if they are only doing the 1984 series, it will be a bit skimpy (still want to know what the bonuses are, and I wonder if any of the "lost" 1980s shorts will make it on this set, as they were seen as filler on some of the original broadcasts). But being "abused" by WB's marketing schemes in this case is worth it to me...well, in general, I am a big Superfriends fan anyway. And by this time, the show was turning towards the elements (including a slightly more serious nature) that would culminate with The Super Powers Team. It took one of Challenge of the SF's main strengths by using more villains from the comics; Lex Luthor and Mxyzptlk would return, joined by appearances from Mirror Master, the revamped Brainiac, and most of all, Darkseid and other New Gods characters! And on the side of justice is one of the most underrated DC heroes, Firestorm the Nuclear Man (by the time of the SPT, Cyborg would join next, and we'd see the Wonder Twins and most of the Multicultural Pals phased out). As a bonus, Batman's voice from then on would be Adam West, which made the character seem less nerdy than the Olan Soule version. Soule would take over the role of Martin Stein, one-half of Firestorm, in this season. Stein and Batman even team up for one episode!

Yes this might be a sparse DVD release, but still worth it for me to have pristine copies of this season. Bring on the Super Powers Team, and some more of the Superfriends series (All-New SF Hour, anyone? World's Greatest SF? The aforementioned "lost" episodes? Heck I'd even buy a set devoted to the Wendy and Marvin episodes)

Really Really hoping for more.......2007-04-30

I am glad that WB is continuing to release different incarnations of the Super-Friendsa, and will hopefully release them all, but I have concerns with the lack of content of this set. The 1984 season of "Superfriends:The Legendary Superpowers show" only had eight 1/2 hour episodes (sixteen, 11 minute episodes if you break them down), but with most DVD box sets all that could easily fit on one disk. I am hoping the 2nd disk has the follow up season "Galactic Guardians", which only had seven 1/2 hour episodes with some being a full 1/2 hour, and some being two short episodes. These would be great to package together as one set, but I fear WB will get cheap and try to get the most for their money that they can. Lets just hope they decide on what most fans would like, so that their DVD sales can continue to be profitable.

"Closure. That's what it is, that's what I need." So determined a drunken Rachel in the season 2 episode "The One Where Ross Finds Out." And closure is what this mega-hyped series finale gives loyal and faithful viewers who have been there for Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey, even when Friends seemed stuck in second gear. Television's most popular and comforting comedy did go gently into that good night, packing off new parents Monica and Chandler to the suburbs to start a family; domesticating the once free-spirited Phoebe, and, yes, finally bringing star-crossed, on-again-off-again Ross and Rachel together ("I got off the plane" will take its place in series lore alongside, "We were on a break").

There were some keenly felt absences, most notably Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles as Monica and Ross's maddening parents, and very few surprises, save for one climactic Ross revelation that allowed David Schwimmer's hapless character one of the episode's best lines: "We almost made it 10 years without that coming out." Gunther professing his unrequited love for Paris-bound Rachel was a nice grace note for one of the series' most valuable players, as was the touching, sniffle-inducing ending in which each Friend turned in their key to the apartment each had shared at one time or another over the past 10 years. In the end, it was all about Ross and Rachel, but it seems we will not have ultimate closure until the inevitable reunion special, "The One with Ross and Rachel's Wedding." Until then, between reruns and home video, Friends fans need not fret. As singer Dan Hicks once said, how can we miss them when they won't go away? --Donald Liebenson

I always enjoy Friends, this was so great. It was hard because it signifies the end of Friends.

Remembering Friends.......2007-03-30

I loved this finale series and they have added so much including all the shows starters so that you can see each star evolve in their characters and as actors/actresses. I totally love the extras they have added. What a way to remember a wonderful series. I miss Friends.

It's Ok.......2007-01-17

I'm a huge Friends fan but I was a little disappointed with this. I had heard that there was a scene on here where the cast went back to re-read the pilot, but there was no such thing on it. If I would have known that then I never would have bought it.

As expected,.......2007-01-15

But still, it was fun to watch. Somehow I missed the final episode and am not enough of a techy to find it online. So I ordered this, the price was fair, the product as described and the delivery was excellent.

Friends - Finale.......2007-01-13

Actually, I ordered this DVD thinking that this finale comes with their last interview where all 6 friends came together and talked about their experiences when acting in Friends. Though it was not the DVD I was expecting, I still enjoyed it. The prompt delivery in good condition was great. I really enjoy watching it over and over again. No sitcom can beat Friends.

Fulfilling the promise of his debut film, Little Odessa, 31-year-old writer-director James Gray proves himself a mature storyteller who attracts good actors and elicits their best work. Inspired by the experiences of his own father, Gray sets The Yards inside the corrupt workings of the New York City railway system, in which men such as Frank Olchin (James Caan) maintain their dominance by sabotaging the work of their competitors. Mark Wahlberg is well cast as Leo Handler, who serves jail time for a crime he didn't commit and returns home to a warm welcome from his ailing mother (Ellen Burstyn), his aunt Kitty (and Frank's wife, played by Faye Dunaway), and cousin Erica (Charlize Theron).

He's also welcomed by his friend Willie (Joaquin Phoenix), who does most of Uncle Frank's dirty work and brings the needy Leo into his lucrative fold. Things go from bad to worse, and Leo's suspected in the killing of a railway official and the beating of a city patrolman. On the run, he uncovers the political machinations that keep Uncle Frank in power, and The Yards unfolds as a compelling tale of family, twisted loyalties, and the quest for truth. There's stellar work from everyone involved, but if The Yards has one major flaw, it's that Gray directs with a solemnity that's almost off-putting, as if a moment of levity would violate his story's integrity. Visually The Yards invites comparison to The Godfather, and it boasts much of that film's moral complexity and depth of character, but it's too self-consciously heavy, and that compromises its overall impact. Still, this is good work from a talented director whose future films will be watched with interest. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Hot young stars Mark Wahlberg (THE PERFECT STORM, PLANET OF THE APES), Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR, SIGNS), and Charlize Theron (WAKING UP IN RENO, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES) power this riveting crime thriller!

With memorable performances from Faye Dunaway (THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR) and Ellen Burstyn (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM), the excitement builds as Leo does everything in his power to take them down in the name of justice!

A burning hot flame potentially turns into bitter cold ice.......2007-05-27

THE YARDS (2000) will interest fans of Joaquin Phoenix and Charlize
Theron's physical charisma, as to James Caan's world class acting and
credibility in bringing to life a theme that is rarely touched upon
in the theaters. On the other hand, for some, Walhberg's acting is
perhaps an acquired taste, much like watching paint dry.

One strength is the lesson it tells, of the consequences of one's
actions, or that of a small group of people holding key positions, on
everyone in society, their family, friends close and distant, when
there is misbehavior.

According to this movie, there are cases when big-ticket sales
players (not just small time salesmen) get an edge, through unethical
means, through payoffs, not so legal actions, and human coercion
against competitors in bidding for contracts in the tens of USD
millions.

It realistically tells of methods that are perfectly legitimate in
gaining the favor, influence and friendship of people by knowing what
their soft spots are, and indulging those through gifts. The trick,
of course, is to know when a gift stops being one, and turns into a
payoff.

This DVD will also appeal to those enjoying a wide-screen release,
with a very high quality cinematography, sharp images, and
irreproachable technique. The soundtrack is made up of tastefully
selected numbers, that don't distract from the story.

What will stick with the public, are the highs and lows, that the
protagonists in this picture go through.

The less credible part, is the suggestion that the character played
by Walhberg, presented as somewhat of a broken down engine of sorts
in society, becomes holier than the Pope after 90 mins, turning
against everyone whom he knew and trusted, merely from the latter's
decision to cut their losses from the repeated, ever more serious
comedy of errors made by Walhberg's character.

The strong point of this movie, is its tragic aspects, and by not
having a predictable ending, incorporating many realistic elements,
such as sickness, health, death, fear, greed, broken relationships,
loathing, solidarity, coercion, hate, love, confusion, joy. Most will
identify how some people are able to control their destinies to a
lesser or stronger degree, depending on their skill and experience,
and luck.

A lasting demonstration, is how quickly a burning hot flame,
potentially turns into bitter cold ice, in terms of one's humanity,
personal relationships, one's professional outlook, and how everyone
in society is dependent and influenced by other people comprising it.
THE YARDS also underlines how one tragedy is always accompanied by
another.

Some viewers may have preferred a less abrupt ending, which almost is
presented as an afterthought, after the story had built to a climax.

Uninspired crime drama.......2006-05-17

After watching the movie and reading the reviews, I felt compelled to say something. The plot synopsis gives an adequate idea of what the movie is about, but not how it is told-which is dull.

Interesting plot!.......2005-06-13

Three dramatic vertices converge in this smart script: The painful stunt's death and the sad memories left behind in a famous director characterized precisely by his dangerous EFX; a murder who has been hired to kill him; and the last act of love redemption when the things are out of control and you have no time to put the things in its real context.
Interesting thriller that shines by the presence of James Caan as the fallen in disgrace director and Mathew Broderick as the mercenary. Some problems with the poor photography diminish the sum of the final result.

GRITTY NOIR THAT MOODILY TRIPS ON ITS HACKNEYED LINE.......2004-07-18

Ten minutes into the film I was drawn into the noirish pace and presentation, and a theme of how inconvenient life is when someone who's tainted as an ex-convict wants to straighten himself out. The feeling of paranoia is well achieved, partly because of the brooding score and very well-toned cinematography.

But what kills the movie is its derivative story -- the strinking semblance to Godfather, City Hall, Heat, James Caan's own The Thief, and about a hundred other crime capers is hard to overlook. To make matters worse, the plot is also sloppily constructed such that it can't resolve itself without losing its grip on the tension that it creates.

James Caan is sharp as he brings his snakey charm into the role, come to think of it, all actors do very well to maintain the general grit, including a power-crazed Joaquin Phoenix and the good-hearted criminal Wahlberg.

But about halfway through the movie the denouement already peeped out, making the rest of the proceedings merely a formality. Probably a decent rental for anyone who likes crime procedurals with family businesses going over the top in tandem with public officials, but not exactly an astounding achievement in cinema.

TRAIN OF THOUGHT.......2004-02-13

Director James Gray has elicited some marvelous performances from a really eclectic cast: Oscar winners Ellen Burstyn and Faye Dunaway play domestic characters with the professional verve they always bring; Oscar nominees Charlize Theron, James Caan and Joaquin Phoenix are superb in their roles as Wahlberg's cousin, best friend and uncle-in-law; and then we have Mark Wahlberg, Steve Lawrence and Tony Musante rounding out the cast. This is Wahlberg's shining moment; he has none of the macho bravado usually associated with him, and his performance is complex, multi-faceted and courageous. Caan is also brilliant, and someday he'll get the Oscar he deserves. Phoenix also shows great emotional depth in his role as a borderline sociopath. Theron proves that she is not just a pretty face, but a capable and engaging actress. The film's slow pace is in line with the psychological nuances of the film. I'd never heard of it until I saw a trailer on another video. An outstanding film. Highly recommended.

The best childrens' series.......2006-05-06

Miss Spider is the best childrens' series around in my opinion. It has wonderful musical sequences, great stories, graphics, it educates children about the lives of bugs and how they interact in nature and it celebrates our earth in beautiful stories as well as presenting a lving family of natural and adopted bugs and how they live together. My favorite too! This DVD is wonderful, as are all the others in the series.

Like our family.......2005-10-09

Or 2 1/2 year old loves Miss Spider! The segments move from one to the next without interruption for viewing ease. We love this series because our family was created thru adoption as was Miss Spider's.

LOVED IT!.......2005-07-30

My 4 year old daughter loves Miss Spider so when I heard that this DVD would be released; I was quick to pre-order it. All the episodes are great. The music and voices are so soothing. The storylines are good with wonderful values. As a mom, I am really impressed with this series. Hope there will be more to come on DVD!

"Oh, Cheddar Chunks! Oh, Brie!".......2005-11-26

"Bear in the Big Blue House" is one of the best currently-running shows for kids. I have seen several Bear DVDs (which are now in the possession of my friends who have preschool kids) and I believe that they are not only entertaining and educational, but reinforce such important concepts as fairness and good sportsmanship.

In this volume, Bear and friends concentrate on getting a good night's sleep, and also learn about good dental hygiene and the importance of making new friends while not abandoning existing friends. My favorite character, Tutter, has logistical problems dealing with several varieties of cheese.

Although these DVDs are for the young children of one of my best friends, they actually aren't painful to watch like so many shows made for kids ("Teletubbies," anyone?), and are, in fact sometimes amusing in ways the kids don't even get, much like Dr. Seuss.

For young kids, the Bear in the Big Blue House series can't be beat.

It's an instant favorite!!.......2006-11-17

This is the 4th Miss Spider DVD I have purchased through Amazon and it will definatally not be the last. My daughter was mezmirozed by the colors right from the start and now at 18 months can follow the story line. "Spider" was one of her first words!! My husband and I really appreciate the valuable messages in each story and having a few of the bugs being adopted is really cool since she has a few adpoted cousins. We really dont mind having to watch it a million times. Dont pass up the oppurtunity to add this to your collection- cant beat the price here at Amazon either!

Wonderful Buggy Experience!.......2005-11-10

My 2 1/2 year old received this DVD from her Grandma as a gift. I watched all 8 episodes with my daughter and we have been hooked every since. My daughter's favorite episode is "Sing It Sister." She'll sing right along with the characters..."la,la,la,la,la...lady bugs",etc.
The animation, storylines, and moral lessons are great. My husband even watched a couple of episodes with us! This is a great show and I hope it says around for awhile. I plan on ordering more Miss Spider/Sunny Patch DVDs soon.

LOVED IT!.......2005-07-30

One of the most endearing aspects of Bear in the Big Blue House is everyone's habit of talking directly to the camera. This has been a part of Muppet practice for years, and when Bear is politely explaining the importance of brushing your teeth before bedtime, it makes children pay attention far more readily. Especially when everyone then breaks into song! Of course, that's the other delightful aspect of the show; little bear Ojo, Tutter mouse, Pip and Pop, Treela the Lemur, and Luna the Moon all join in on one of the cute and catchy numbers. The songs featured in these three episodes ("The Big Sleep," "And to All a Good Night," and "Friends for Life," all from the show's first two series) focus on the rituals of bedtime and make ideal comforters to send a child to bed happily. But since the second episode is about getting to stay up late, that may not be the best choice if sleepiness is your goal. --Paul Tonks

Great DVD, but title is misleading.......2003-02-27

Only one of the 3 episodes on this DVD is about bedtime, which was disappointing. However, ir's still a cute "Bear" DVD. I haven't found that this video is helpful in getting my 2 year old to go to bed, because she's so stimulated by Bear, so I wouldn't reccommend purchasing this DVD for that purpose. I *do* reccommend buying it based on the fact that Bear In The Big Blue House is one of the most charming children's shows today! My daughter loves to dance when Bear Dances, and Tutter just cracks her up!

DVD you gotta love em!!!.......2002-11-06

If you have a toddler Bear in the Big Blue House is wonderful. My 2 1/2 year old has been watching bear since she was 1. The DVD is not only helpful with training a toddler but keeps her attention as well. Luna Luna Luna she justs loves the Moon.

Sleeptime with Bear - DVD.......2002-05-16

My 21m isn't one to sit and have a goodnight story read to him. But when the DVD plays (even just one of the episodes) he is in heaven. This is his favorite ritual before bed. The even tone of all the characters voices in soothing. The sing along is a favorite!
We love Bear!

Great Stuff.......2001-06-05

My 10 mo. old daughter loves the sing-a-longs. This is a great video for children and I love the ability to jump right to the songs.
