DVD Talk DVD ReviewsDVD Talk DVD Review RSS FeedBelfast, Maine- July 1, 2008 Highly Recommended Filmmaker Frederick Wiseman has completed three dozen documentaries to date, several exceeding three hours in length. Most of Wiseman's films are so much of a kind that it could be said he has for four decades been making one very long movie in installments. That movie is the story of contemporary America as told through its public and private institutions. Through roughly six dozen hours of screen time, Wiseman has documented.http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33758 Cinematic Titanic - Doomsday Machine- July 1, 2008 Highly Recommended THE SHOWIt certainly took the gang at Cinematic Titanic enough time to regroup, but the six-month wait between episodes was worth the unbearable impatience. Backing away after the release of "The Oozing Skull" to reassess their strengths and weaknesses, Titanic storms back with "Doomsday Machine," and while the series is starting to solidify pleasingly, the movie selection for this outing is perhaps too formidable for even this...http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33747 Final Fantasy: Complete Collection- July 1, 2008 Rent It The Movie:When my sons were a bit younger and caught up in the frenzy of various passing fads, I used to half-jokingly state that phenomena like "Pokemon" and "Yu-Gi-Oh" were Japan's revenge for World War Two. I mean, what better havoc could be wreaked than inventing a multi-media onslaught consisting of television shows, feature films, video games, and, most importantly, card games featuring literally hundreds of characters where each and.http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33760 Wings - The Sixth Season- July 1, 2008 Recommended Review:One of the best shows of the 90's, "Wings" enjoyed a solid run on NBC from 1990-1997, enjoying critical acclaim and respectable ratings, despite increasing competition. The series took place in Nantucket (while interiors were obviously filmed on a soundstage, the occasional extriors were taken at the Nantucket Airport) and focused on Joe Hackett (Tim Daly), who ran a small local airline out of the small airport. The opening...http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33759 Howard Goodall's Big Bangs- July 1, 2008 Highly Recommended The Movie:Music history teachers, at least in my experience, tend to be dry, humorless folk prone to over enunciating delectable phrases like "mensural notation" and "Guillaume Dufay." And, again from experience, the only thing worse than a music history teacher is a music theory teacher. You try to stay awake during a learned discussion of the many fascinating differences between a German and French augmented sixth chord (not..http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33761 The One And Only- July 1, 2008 Rent It The Movie: On paper, The One and Only must have looked like a surefire hit. After all, the 1978 romantic comedy starred Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz -- resident icon of television's hugely successful Happy Days -- and was helmed by Carl Reiner, who had scored box-office gold the year before with Oh, God! How could it possibly go wrong Easy, at least when your hero is an unlikable and untalented clod. Try as he might, Winkler was unable to...http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33762 |
