Low budget keeps Dylan Dog from standing out
931664
The average episode Buffy the Vampire Slayer is more satisfying than this film.  It's not that Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is all that bad - it just feels lacking because we're used to more from this genre. More action, more effects, and more of a climax would have made this more comparable to other similarly-themed projects, like the Constantine movie featuring Keanu Reeves, and the Sci Fi-channel's short-lived The Dresden Files. As with those properties' leads, Dylan is a reluctant supernatural detective with connections from a previous life who is dragged into taking on another case. If Brandon Routh as Dylan and Sam Huntington as his assistant , Marcus, seem to have good chemistry together, it's probably in part because this isn't their first time working together. This pair played Clark Kent/Superman and Jimmy Olson in 2006's not-stellar Superman Returns reboot  attempt. It's interesting to see them back together in different roles. Ultimately, it seems as if the low budget really took its toll on this film. This 2010 release just wasn't involving and didn't take me anywhere I haven't been before, plus I figured out who the culprit was very early.

I thought I was more of a Dylan fan, but I guess not. I know that a few of his hits are great, but this disc will be in the rummage sale.

It's cheaply made...but my dog doesn't like wearing clothes...so this worked perfect for a photo op at the holidays.

This jacket is super thin, but it fulfills the need for a cheap dog jacket. I bought this for my Great Dane (male, approx. 120lbs). It doesn't completely cover his back and the neck is too small, but alterations to extend the neck size can be done. Generally, shopping for a dog coat to fit a Dane online is a nightmare if you're trying to save money, and this jacket will work for the time being.

It was super cheap and it has my favorite dog,the BULLDOG!! I have never seen a Bulldog calendar anywhere that wasn't overly expensive, and for a couple bucks, I had to get it

This is one of those low-budget B films with unknown actors that usually are boring and substandard. After renting this for a $1.99 I viewed it and was surprised. The quality of the print is poor (filmed on 16mm and transferred to 35mm) and the color (Eastmancolor, which is usually good) has faded and needs to be digitally restored but I did find it interesting enough to watch all of it. First, the story is so-so (religious cult demands human sacrifices; people have been disappearing and turning up dead) and clich. Second, the writing was also so-so and some would be bored with it. The acting, however, was better than expected and I noted the sheriff, the doctor and the ranch/lodge owner were decent actors. The two ladies were attractive enough. Another thing that held my interest was the desert scenes, filmed in Southwest Texas near Big Bend National Park (Lajitas and Terlingua) which really would have benefited from a digital restoration. I won't give away the ending although it's predictable. So if you enjoy stories about devil cults, sacrifices, and people stranded in the desert, give it a try.

Hm

Its a pretty wretched album. Theres the odd good track (Quinn the Eskimo) but - God! - what on earth is he thinking crooning with himself on "The Boxer"

I can't imagine this being pulled out too much. Its not bad, as such. Songs like Belle Isle, The Boxer.. they're actually good songs

But Dylan sounds really bored. Minstrel Boy - what is that? Even the Band sound bored on that track

Are there interesting tracks? Sure! But so much of this album isn't really sung very well. I mean, God help us, I hope Bob didn't spend much time singing these tracks

Certainly the mans worst double album

Theres always the case of a double album that can be whittled down to a GREAT single album. Blonde on Blonde, The Beatles White Album.. they would've sounded great with songs like "Revolution 9" left off

But where does that leave Self Portrait? Do you just have a 45 single of the tolerable tracks (Wigwam, Sadie, Tired horses)

I can't imagine many Dylan fans really play this album too much. Granted, Down in the Groove is more bland (at least here the songs are more memorable - you NEVER forget Dylan's take on "The Boxer" - ouch!)

His worst? I don't know. Maybe Dylan, or Dylan and the Dead. Or the wretched Budokan double set (which is ruined by a flute on several numbers; indeed you can barely recognize "Maggies Farm"!)

Its an .. interesting .. album. Dylan went into the studio pretty damned quick after the reviews savaged this. Thankfully he went on to better things (the Band helping out bigtime on a live and studio disc on Asylum)

But by this point, Dylan obviously didn't care. Definitely this album is in his bottom 5. The only thing more painful is watching all four hours of Renaldo and Clara

A wretched dispirited disc altogether!

My dog hears the nosie, very disappointing in this item.

Terrific shots of vast Mongolian steppes and nature (been to Mongolia many times and it does an absolutely magnificent job of capturing the essence of Mongolian wilderness).  Good story, decent acting but the lead is too cute and does not convey the huge presence that Khan was actually porported to have.  Battle scenes are disappointing to a certain extent as it lacks the epic sweep of large budget flicks - mostly closeups with blood splatters (but wouldn't consider it excessively gory).  The final battle is a letdown actually (won't give away the details but suffice to say that it doesn't live up to the buildup). If it's true that this is a first of a planned trilogy than it's definitely worth getting.  If it's not than it's a good way to get a primer into the Khan legend but don't expect a GREAT movie.  Anyway, for only $10 for blue ray, it's a cheap deal.

It's a classic cover, but it's from Dylan's all-time low point in the '80s. The song is corny, the arrangement and backing vocals are cheesey, but it's funny in a perverse way, which is why I got it. The album is the only Dylan album I never upgraded to CD -- and even a 25 year old cassette seems wasted on it!

I have Bob Dylan's "older" recordings. His voice is not suited for these Sinatra type songs. This is not the time of life one would suddenly change the type of music one records. This is a sad commentary on a really good rebel singer. Stick to what works.

These dog miniatures are not well defined and many are poorly painted.  It is hard to tell some of them are dogs.

This is a lighthearted, fun and lively video showing the daily care of horses.  My two toddlers adore horses, and I couldn't wait to pop this tape in to capture their attention with live action.  Though the scenes are authentic and there is much to learn from the animal's characteristics to how to bathe and brush them, the picture quality is so poor that it makes watching it in its entirey a real chore.  There is a graininess to the video that doesn't change on smaller screens, so basically you won't enjoy watching along with your kids.  The actors in the film deliver their lines in a way that truly seems rehearsed from script, but this won't matter to kids since they speak clearly and in simple to understand language.  The music is very sweet too.  They also incorporate special needs children in the film, which is a refreshing change.  It's just too bad the film company didn't record on a faster speed tape to ensure clarity.

Saul Rubinek's glue-on beard was more than a tiny hint of how low budget this production was. What could the producers have been thinking? And Rubinek and Thomson's characters were supposed to be boyhood chums, yet they couldn't coordinate their accents.
I bought the video to see more of Saul Rubinek's work after seeing him perform in a couple of TV series.
The theme of the film isn't new. Two men experience an horrific tragedy; one loses his faith in a Divine Presence while the other attributes his survival to the Deity. They both survived the WWII Holocaust, having lost their entire families. Both were in a Jewish seminary school until age twenty, when one left to seek a secular life while the other became a rabbi.
In 1948 Montreal, they cross paths in a park; both having thought the other had perished during the war.
The nature of their "quarrel" is far from entertaining. How can one be entertained by a discussion of the loss of wives and children? Yet, the film is engrossing in spite of its warts.

The goose neck can barely hold up the filter.  After a few minutes it begins to droop below the microphone.

It seems like this was done on a very low budget and was a little disappointing, I agree with Roscoe's review that it could have been a lot better.

I chose this collar mainly for price, not necessarily for features. The remote seams very fragile and a bit cheap. The LCD readout is small and hard to read. It would be nice if the screen were backlit so you can see which mode it is in when using it after dark. Also it would be nice if the remote could be locked on either collar 1 or 2. Several times I have tried to use the remote to get the dogs attention and it seemed if as it were not working, after examining the remote I realized it had been switched to collar 2 mode. I realize ther are better more expensive collars out there so I'd say its a decent buy if you want to try to use this kind of training technique on your dog, but keep in mind you get what you pay for.
