I got this to round out my complete collection of Far Side cartoons.  This book plus the Complete Collection and The PreHistory of the Far Side provides all published Far Side cartoons (or at least that is what I found in my research)

Enthralling, possible , and with a human touch not found in many books in the genre. Acting was outstanding by Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle and Connie Nielsen. Tim Robbins can be described as a "Cameo". Good Book and better Movie.

I watched both of mannequin movies when they were first out in VHS.  The reason I bought the DVD is because of my fun memory of watching the movie.  Though the movie is just a comedy which does not require too much brain to watch, I love the creative window case the the ideas of all actions which put the story together.  I am especially found of the character Hollywood Montrose and his various sun glasses.  Personally I preferthe first one because its originality.  The story are entirely different in the two movies.  The songs are wonderful.  It is such a pleasure to watch them and feel good afterward.  I wish there were a thrid one.  Over more than ten years and my likeness for the movie has not change a bit. It is one of my favorite movies.

The story is wonderful, Bradley Cooper should have won Best Actor- he just captures the character so well. It has become one of my all time favorites.

The Original screening of Robinson Crusoe On Mars left an incredible impression on a young mind, production values were among the better end of the scale for the time, but the story in total was handled extremely well, with attention paid to actual scientific data as known in the late 60's. Gasping for air as the last drop fizzled from his tanks during sleep, Mantee's character brings a level of reality to an entertaining, and enthrawling Science Fiction Classic. For me, Robinson Crusoe On Mars was always a movie that I Simply had to own, and the DVD Version was worth waiting for. I Opted for a used copy with "As New" description supplied by the seller, and As New was exactly how I received this great Movie. Couldn't be Happier, for this simple transaction.

Mr. Cage and company have given us a wonderfully entertaining peice of gold. Worth rewatching time and again, it has given us more bang for our entertainment dollar.
Unfortunately, I'm disabled and can't get to the nearest movie theater thirty some odd miles from here.  I LIVE for DVDs.  This is a great peice of entertainment! Good story, plot and superb acting.  Great actors put together to make a great film.  I await the DVD of the as yet unreleased sequal.

First of all, I am really not a person who goes for this certain superhero-type genre. In fact, my husband had to cajole me to go to a big screen theater to see this one and did I ever Love this action filled fun story filled with the actors and two exclusive character's voices of Bradley Cooper and his sidekick Vin Diesel. Beginning with a dancing Chris Pratt (Star Lord) to an electric and eclectic soundtrack overflowing with earlier generations of music. This has love stories in several ways besides the central theme too, a sarcasm that is done perfectly which I am a fan of in the humor and massive CGI filling the big screen which I usually don't care as much about as the acting. See this on a large screen - if possible - with great sound. On the other-hand, this film was a spectacle; a feast for your eyes and your ears and definitely a great time. Before anyone like me who usually goes for drama or romantic comedies shuns this space romp, give this a look as I think you will not be disappointed. I even bought the Rocket 'action figure' for a Christmas gift following the film. It was such fun at the movie theater that I purchased the Blu-ray for my enthused husband and, let's face it, me too! Sounds and looks great on our large screen and surround sound stereo. I will be getting the second volume of this when it is released too. I suggest, though, to see this first. A wonder on screen and a great date night to my happy surprise...

I bought this series years ago and absolutely loved it. it starts way in the beginning of NASA,before they were NASA and covers all the way to the Space Shuttle. This is a great movie for anyone with a love of space. It comes in a really noce steelbook case

My only issue was that my steelbook case came damaged. It does not look like the discs are hurt in any way, but this is still a small issue since it takes some kind of weight to mess up the case in the direction it bent...

Like all Larson's work this one draws you in at once and proves once again reality has more authentic drama than fiction can ever provide. Eric Larson continues his non stop streak of succesfully bringing history to life. I can not wait to read his next work.

This was a great film, full of action and I loved how it created a whole new timeline for Star trek and Captain Kirk. The effects where mind blowing.  And I loved the ever present humor that was in this film just has been in the previous Star Trek Films.

I feel like if was possible to take a peek inside the mind of Joss Whedon, this is what you would see. Once again he proves to be a master entertainer. The DVD was fun, funny, and had the classic Joss Whedon ending. If your a fan of his work you will love this. Nathan Fillion is one of my favorite actors and he does a wonderfull over-the-top performance in this one. Neil Patrick Harris is in it, need I say more. Watch this DVD. Buy it and watch it now. Stop reading this and get out your credit card. I'm not kidding.

Fantastic movie....great story line.

All the acting is great with Douglas doing an especially fine job. Recommend it most highly.

I really enjoyed this movie. The cast has great chemistry and I enjoyed the quirkiness included in the dialogue.  Spock was great fighting against Khan.  I was not disappointed. I recommended it to my Dad and he purchased the DVD and enjoyed as well as my Mom.  I hope there is another one coming.

I am writing regarding the silver colored dvd boxed set of BSG-- The Complete Series.
The advice others have given about which compete series set to buy is right on -- the silver box is the way to go.  The miniseries, the four seasons of the series, Razor, and The Plan, are all included.

I'm a Star Trek fan and I've always enjoyed the optimism that Gene Roddenberry put into Trek.  It may be unrealistic, but it's still uplifting to envision a humanity that has evolved and improved in the centuries to come.  That being said, I also truly resonated and fully entered into the realism of Ron Moore's reimagining of BSG.  The special effects are visually effective, the acting is top notch, and the story compelling.  By the second season, they finally got it figured out how much hand-held camera to use, but the realism goes deeper than that.  The issues faced by the remnants of humanity as well as the cylons are real, the characters are real, the struggles are real, the failures are real.  The show has politics, it has the military, it has ethical and social issues similar to many we face today.  It portrays some very real, albeit flawed people doing the best they can, or truly screwing up.  It's all there.  There's religion and spiritual themes -- done with layered complexity.  Sure, there have been many who have complained about the ending - - but by the time I got there, I had thorough surrendered disbelief.  Something beyond ordinary reality was going on as the story went on, and I saw the ending as an extension of that.  Probably the only thing I felt was a bit overly contrived was Moore's insertion of "All Along the Watchtower."  But that's no big deal.  BSG was a great series, and it's great to watch it from the dvds in the original order, which the silver boxed set provides.  Did I say that the acting was truly great?  BSG is sci-fy reimagined, and I fully recommend it.

After stumbling across B.V. Larson in a free book on Kindle I quickly became hooked. I have read every book he has written and his story telling is easy, quick, and common sense based. If your looking escape from your day, adventure and great story telling then Larson is your guy!
