Batman: Triple Feature



"No one is above the law in these three action-packaged features!"
It says that this won't be released until October 2, but Wal-Mart is selling this, the Batman: Triple Feature, to promote the Dark Knight Rises movie.

The Batman Triple feature has 3 discs with the movies; Batman: Gotham Knight, Batman: Under the Red Hood, and Batman: Year One. The discs are packaged on top of each other and of course, each disc comes with the movie and special features. Batman: Gotham Knight comes with a few trailers such as the first Batman Lego Game and the animated Wonder Woman movie. Batman: Under the Red Hood comes with the Jonah Hex animated short and a few more trailers like The Dark Knight, Superman Apocalypse, and others. Batman: Year One comes with special features such as the DC showcase of Catwoman and trailers such as Young Justice, All Star Superman, Thundercats, and Justice League Doom (probably might want to check Doom out to because it is a very, very good movie in my opinion even though the villains aren't who you would expect them to...

Three Great Batman Features
You just can't beat the value for the price of this three movie bundle. It's worth the purchase for Under the Red Hood and Batman Year One alone but Batman Gotham Knight was a lot better than i had anticipated. It is a lot like the Animatrix and is a collaboration of a few different animation styles telling different stories of batman.

I don't know if this is the case for every one but i also had a code to redeem all three movies in the Ultraviolet digital format. This was a big selling point for me as i am trying to beef up my digital collection

Great!
I love this movies and when I found this triple feature thing I was more than happy, it got here in time and looks just like the picture, everyone should have this movies!

4 Wedding Planners



lovely Hawaiian romantic comedy
sweet family dramedy in a beautiful setting with charming performances. felt like you got to see s slice of the real hawaii. well worth watching!!!

Fun Premise. Worth A Watch
The 411 by Maria:

Ahhh...very sweet movie. Not too sappy which is what I expected with the title. The 4 Wedding Planners are Miriam, Lily, Twinny and Hoku a single mom and her three girls

My favorite part is the beginning where we see the story during the credits of how this eclectic family came to be showing how Miriam ended up with 3 daughters and 3 different fathers in a serious of funny little cartoon animations.

Lily is very independent and is pretty much the anti "marriage" daughter so when her boyfriend proposes she runs. She takes a plane and comes home to her wedding planning family after many years. They are not planning her wedding, they literally plan weddings for others.

Lily and her sisters are all very different. Twinny is pregnant "often" and the baby, Hoku just wants to be in love and is with Lily's former boyfriend.

The movie is fun, light and sweet. I love Illeana Doughlas as Miriam the mom who is running a...

I loved the actors, i liked that there was no dirty language, loved the hawaii location and theme, it was funny and we could wat
I loved the actors, i liked that there was no dirty language, loved the hawaii location and theme, it was funny and we could watch it as a family. The end was okay but could have been better. I wouldn't mind a sequel.

Sid the Science Kid: Sense-Ational Adventures



GREAT purchase!
VERY entertaining and educational. My 20 month old grandson would watch it continually, if I let him. Can't wait to purchase more. The bonus dvd has 180 minutes of various children's shows. That only is more than worth the cost.

Love Sid The Science kid
This DVD is all about the 5 senses and why/how they work the way they do. My kids have loved Sid the Science Kid since he came out on TV and now my 2-year old is addicted "Science Kid, Science Kid" she chants. All the information is imparted in kid-friendly terms and then at the end Sid takes it into the fantastical by the whole "If I were in charge" segment. Very cute!

Sid the Science Kid - Sense-Ational Adventures
I would give this more stars but I can only give 5, my 4 year old grandson loves Sid and honestly so do I! It is so cute and makes learning fun for the kids! I absolutely recommend this DVD.

Double Impact [Blu-ray]



Brilliant Cheese for the action junkie!
I remember this one like it was yesterday; one of the earliest Van Damme vehicles that actually involved something approaching a modest budget (well, they total two Mercedes in one scene) and a script!

What this film did right was the inclusion of multiple villains, necessary not only because there are two Van Dammes, but because all of the classic martial arts films involved many enemies as well. Recurring VD villains include Peter Malota (the Spanish fighter in later film "The Quest"), whose blue-lit kickboxing scene with Jean-Claude is one of the best in recent memory, and famed "Enter The Dragon" baddie (and longtime martial arts staple) Bolo Yeung.

It helps that Van Damme also has veteran character actor Geoffrey Lewis on board; that kind of gruff, Sam Elliott presence makes up for a lot of acting acumen that is lacking in the rest of the cast. Peter Scarfe stars as the embodiment of evil, and Alonna Shaw as the embodiment.

The pacing is good; the script has some...

Two Van Damme's make a great movie
Double Impact is one of Van Damme's finest moments on the action film-arena. It delivers what it must to succeed, namely tons of great fighting scenes, which is what Van-Damme-movies are all about (well, almost). If you want to rent an old action flick, this is one of them you should get.

Two JCVD's on one Blu-Ray
While I realize it may be hard for most people to stomach Jean-Claude Van Damme, in this movie you get two of him. Granted it's JCVD playing two different characters in the vein of Parent Trap or Multiplicity, but he somehow manages to play two different characters well enough to make me suspend my disbelief. The movie looks like it is from the 80's even though it was made in 1991, it has odd hair styles and costume design that was prominent in 1980's cinema. As expected, there are lots of hand to hand combat scenes which are well shot, as is most of the movie. This movie was primarily shot on location in Hong Kong and at times this movie looks brilliant. Some of the acting is cheese but the main actors do a solid job, particularly Geoffrey Lewis who plays out one of his best performances to date. This movie has an awesome sex scene with female nudity, great action with hand to hand combat and gun shoot outs, as well as a foot chase (something most films don't do enough of anymore)...

Night Riders [Blu-ray]



John Wayne fan
As a kid, I would sit for hours and watch old westerns on TV on Saturday morning. My favorite was "The Duke". The 3 Mesquiteers films, he made 8 of them, were the best. I loved the music. It was just fun, silly fun, but fun.

Early Wayne B Western on DVD
Olive Films has been releasing a number of early John Wayne Republic B westerns, ifrom fine quality prints on DVD. This one packs all the action that old cowpokes enjoy. Good quality print. Recommended.

The Night Riders / Lone Star Bullets
1. Nothing derogatory about the movie in itself. Just be aware that it is in Italian ONLY. No English language or sub-titles.
2. The advertisement lists 2 movies titles, "The Night Riders" and "Lone Star Bullets". This is untrue. There is ONLY one movie, "The Night Riders".

Sean Connery 007 Collection Volume 1



3 disc versus 6 disc!
I bought vol 1 AND 2 each the 3 disc version of the set. The 3 disc version is the movies themselves, it does not include the special features discs that accompany each film with the 6 disc version. This was great for me because I only wanted the movies and didn't really care for the extras and they're cheaper. Hope this clears up confusion as to what is included. Each disc does have some kind of commentary which I haven't explored. Great Bond movies!

Good Stuff
If you are a fan of the Sean Connery 007 era, it is very much worth having the set. Especially this volume which contains Goldfinger, so many pop culture references to this movie. I would definitely obtain Volume 2 as well (I did).

Sean Connery 007 Collection Volume 1
Had seen most films before but wanted them for viewing again. A good buy with quick delivery. enjoyed them again!

Midnight Horror Theater - 32 Film Collection



Devils! Vampires! Werewolves! Cults! Zombies! Mad Scientists! Killers! ...even Aliens!
As much as a misanthrope despises excursions amongst the untermensch, so there are certain necessities that need to be addressed. So among one of these outings, sometimes something catches the evil eye that may be worth the possession. This collection is one such veritable 'devil send', as it were, containing all of these wonderful films that perhaps may have been missed to grace one's entertainment fare, as well as a couple of stead favorites.

There must have been some diabolical inspiration involved here. Wrapped up in a splendid print note the Nightmare Before Xmas script featuring Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, & Vincent Price, here we have The Undead: Vampire Collection coupled with the Gorehouse Greats collection. The previous being a vampire's delight, the latter being a veritable Satan fest of horror treats.

The Undead: Vampire Collection is sanguinariously filled with these favorites and previously possessed features marked with an asterisk:...

lots of great movies
dont expect much from this.
most of them have pops and hiss.
even with all the issues still a collection worth having.

Horror Fan!
My movie arrived as scheduled. For the price, this was very valuable for the number of movies in the set.
