Rolie Polie Olie - The Great Defender of Fun (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids and i love to watch Playhouse Disney in the morning
were Rolie Polie is pretty much are morning entertainment. I
was happy to see Rolie Polie put to a full feature presentation.
I'm glad to see it was a hit with my kids, they've watched it at
least four times already. I was at first a little worried It
would take a detour from the family qualities of the morning show, but it did'nt in my opinion. At times Gloomius could seem
frightening but it was done in a light hearted way. When happy
bubbles come from a gun to make you feel good inside is alright
with me...! Good Show

Yves Saint Laurent - His Life and Times/5 Avenue Marceau 75116 Paris Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 2nd movie (5 Ave Marceau) is a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and development of YSL's 2001 spring-summer couture collection. For fans of the rarified world of haute couture, we get to see the design process from sketch to toile to final preparation of dresses with all the minute and perfectionist adjustments made to hems, linings, collars, flounces etc. YSL's regular house models are featured including the evergreen Amalia. His muse Loulou de la Falaise Klossowski and also Anne Marie Munoz are there by his side to give their opinions and support. For once we also get to see his chiefs of ateliers working out his sketches and trying to come up with creations that match what he dreams of. It's a hushed temple of design with everyone contributing to the final designs. We get to see how fabrics are draped and chosen, decisions on embroidery, how the style of the model's walk can affect the design, how some colours or fabrics are rejected and replaced; successful creations are paraded by the house models in front of YSL and others and greeted by cries of "ravishing", "beautiful!" and "sensational". I only wish that the 1hour plus movie was even longer. There's only a little snippet of the actual fashion show tacked onto the end of the movie but that's not really the point of the movie. The style of filming is slightly distanced - we observe the team observing the designs and sort of listen into their conversations. Totally recommended if you love couture and love YSL. In French with accurate English sub-titles.

Two feature documentaries about the man who re-imagined women's fashion. His Life and Times is an intimate biography featuring extensive interviews with the reclusive designer. 5 Avenue Marceau 75116 Paris is a behind the scenes look inside Saint Laurent's legendary atelier during the creation of his final Spring line. Together they form "a timeless portrait of an artist at work - a celebration of human endeavor." (Los Angeles Times)

Ben 10 Alien Force, Vol. 8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ben 10 Alien Force, Vol. 8 contains the following episodes and special features:
Episodes:
If all Else Fails
In Charms Way
Ghost Town
Trade Off
Busy Box
Con of Rath
Special Feature: Alien Database
This is actually a pretty good value as it has 6 episodes. Most of the Ben 10 Alien Force discs have 4. Other than that we had no technical issues with the disc. My son loves the episodes, has all the names memorized, and generally loves the show. Any of you who have a little addict like I do know that this type of collection will get played over and over until you, as parent, want to scream. That's o.k. Being a kid is fun!

Duel (Collector's Edition) (1971) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)DUEL is the film that made Steven Spielberg a household word in Hollywood--and for good reason. Though made in only three weeks on a budget of less than $500,000, this superlative made-for-TV movie helped to launch his career beyond the stars.
This is an extremely lean but effective psychological thriller with Dennis Weaver (of "Gunsmoke" fame) effectively portraying the first of Spielberg's favorite characters, the Everyman--in this case, an average auto motorist driving to a business appointment on a lonely California highway. He tries to pass a road-hogging diesel truck; but when he does, the truck goes after him for the rest of the way. Neither Weaver nor the viewer ever sees the truck driver, with the exception of a beefy hand and a pair of cowboy boots; but it's perfectly obvious that this man is a total psychopath.
Though suffering from some slight technical flaws, DUEL is brilliantly directed by Spielberg. The film's screenplay is by the always-excellent sci-fi/horror writer Richard Matheson, who based it on a short story he had published in the April '71 edition of Playboy magazine. Matheson, known for such novels as "I Am Legend" and scripts for "The Twilight Zone", is a master at this kind of mind-bending terror, and the combination of his and Spielberg's talents results in one of the most gut-wrenching and emotionally draining suspense films of all times. One can see its influence on later films like the underrated 1997 thriller BREAKDOWN, and as a chilling precursor to today's violent, real-life incidents of road rage. A must-see!

Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi The Next Generation (Unrated) (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, I am writing this rare review in anticipation of a release because some of the other reviews are a bit off target. Jay and Silent Bob do Degrassi is a 3 episode arc of Degrassi-The Next Generation. These 3 episodes are the last episodes of the shows 4th season. Kevin Smith descends upon Degrassi to film a movie, "Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi." Although, the Kevin Smith storyline is prevalent, the main Degrassi storyline continues. The first episode of the arc primarily focuses on Paige being a spoiled brat as usual. She doesn't want to give Manny any credit for her role in the spirit squad and the two go back and forth. Craig speaks to a member of Kevin Smiths production about writing a song for the movie. Happy, Craig and Ashley get to work. Their songs are panned and Ashley decides to move to Europe, she was already planning the Europe trip but the songs being panned is the dealmaker. The second episode of the arc is mainly more Craig and Ashley. Craig and Caitlin (the object of Kevin Smiths crush), discuss Craig going to Europe. Joey Jermiah (Craig's Stepdad) gives in to Craig's plan but when Ashley is less than happy when Craig announces his plans to join her, he goes off the deep end. Production wise these episodes aired as "West End Girls," and "Going Down The Road part 1 &2." FUNIMATION offers awesome releases of Degrassi DVD's and the Jay and Silent Bob set is being released in a regular and an unrated version. The third episode of the arc features a lot more Kevin Smith as he and Caitlin grow closer. Since the DVD's haven't been released I don't have a ton of specs but upon release I will revise review. I think this will be a great purchase, especially for fans of Degrassi The Next Generation. The season sets are still on season 2 and this will give us a chance to own a piece of Season 4.

Naked in My Room - Skye Come Play with Me Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm fairly unimpressed with this dvd. Skye, the young lady featured on the cover, has maybe a 6 minute scene shot looking fairly 2002ish (the quality of the camera shot, not the actual time-frame.) Two other models not shown are also featured: Alyse and Bella Valentine. Their scenes were also quite non-spectacular. Bella Valentine is a more "endowed" Italian woman and Alyse is your typical redhead-ish American female. The annoying thing for me that was common to all the shoots were the constant 5-second cycle shots where you would have 1 slow-moving angle, fade-out, and then fade-in with another angle for another 5 seconds - which keeps nauseatingly looping until the end of the shot. Alyse's entire shot was over-saturated with a red filter.
The models also have 1 on 1 clothed interviews which were actually more interesting than the main "attraction." However, Skye's interview deserved no more than 0.25 points out of a possible 10. All of her answers were mumbled and vague, plus she was looking down and filling out paperwork - barely even paying attention to the interviewer! One of the questions posed to her was "what is your favorite drink," to which she replied with "Mountain Dew" - explaining much to the quality of her teeth.
Skye is around 18 years of age and the other 2 models are clearly over 18. Skye has a lower-back rope/butterfly-looking tattoo and also spotty acne scars on her face - which isn't apparent on the cover due to a somewhat deceptive airbrushed shoppy-looking high contrast image.
To the other reviewer who called this "art," I would say this would more fit the description of "erotic nudity" - which still is a definite long shot from actual "pornography." I came to the conclusion of "erotic nudity" because of the type of shots used (5-second fade outs and ALSO some occasional zoomed female "parts" line-in-frame views), which would definitely NOT go down well if the context of the dvd was "artsy [family-implied] nudism." Plus the interview questions also had something to do with it as well. Questions like "What kind of things do you like in a man," and "What makes a woman 'sexy'," were common in all of the interviews.
In any case, I simply cannot recommend the dvd to anyone, especially at the $20 price point. Save your money and thanks for reading.

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 type character named Stella losing her clock numbers in her travels. Barney and his pals help search for them, ending up at the library. There, they read books and act them out as characters in the stories. It's much more a plug for reading than for math, but it is fun.
I was pleasantly surprised at my son's enjoyment of the video. He likes the Spanish track, too. Fine for the little ones in the house.
