All About Steve [Blu-ray]







All About Steve [Blu-ray] Overview


After going out on one date, an eccentric crossword puzzle creator follows a news cameraman across the country to convince him that they belong togeth

All About Steve [Blu-ray] Specifications


A hunky TV news cameraman named Steve (Bradley Cooper, hot off of surprise hit The Hangover) gets stalked by a lonely crossword puzzle creator named Mary (Sandra Bullock, in a career resurgence after The Proposal) in the comedy All About Steve. Although only one screenwriter is credited, All About Steve feels like it's been clumsily patched together from a dozen different versions of itself. The story makes no sense and there's very little that resembles recognizable human behavior...and yet, for that very reason, the movie exerts a perverse fascination. Some parts are actually funny--Thomas Haden Church (Sideways), as a reporter hungry for an anchor position, unleashes arias of manipulative babble--but most of the movie is just baffling. The filmmakers seem to think they're sending a heartwarming message about embracing yourself, no matter how out of the mainstream you may be. Unfortunately, all of the "quirky" people come across as brain-damaged because they're not really people, they're emblems of "uniqueness." Mary is meant to be endearingly eccentric, yet her social ineptness verges on schizophrenia or severe autism. At every turn, All About Steve unintentionally reminds the viewer that someone wrote this, that someone thought this bit of behavior or this turn of phrase would somehow make us like this character or find them charming. Unfortunately, that someone was very, very off the mark. The result--seeing the bald intentions under the failed result--is a jarring yet oddly compelling experience. Also featuring DJ Qualls (Hustle & Flow) and Katy Mixon (Eastbound & Down). --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews


But I enjoyed this film ... to the point to see twice. His character is not so far-fetched as some might play on ... I understand frank detail as a break from the norm, and a bridge away from intimacy. There are people out there that are full of words as a way for the rooms ... many, unfortunately, "diagnosed" with Asperger syndrome. Bullock role as a woman so impressed with the love, yet so removed from social norms, which is not far-fetched. Many of us have notIdea of what to do and when to do it when it comes to matters of the heart. Understandably, his character can be eccentric than most, but that makes this film so fun to love. His character has a certain naivete that many people lose to adapt to cite a content-social norms. The best part is that the ending focused on the real true love with itself that it is more important than landing the boy.

I think it's definitely worthobserved.

Elvis on Tour (Blu-ray Book)







Elvis on Tour (Blu-ray Book) Overview


15 cities. 15 nights. Catch him if you can! The show is over but the fans cry out for what every Elvis Presley fan wants. More! Then, an announcer speaks the words the packed house doesn’t want to hear: "Elvis has left the building." But what an incredible show lingers in minds and hearts. Elvis on Tour is the Golden Globe-winning Best Documentary chronicle of Presley's whirlwind 15-cities/15-nights 1972 tour. They are nights to remember, paced here with more than 25 numbers that embrace the rocker Elvis, the gospel Elvis, the ballad Elvis, even the kung-fu Elvis. In between tour stops come more moments to treasure--montage sequences (supervised by Martin Scorsese) showcasing Presley's early career and movies. More!

Elvis on Tour (Blu-ray Book) Specifications


After the solid success of Elvis: That's the Way It Is, and with his career as a movie actor having reached a standstill, Elvis Presley undertook a second concert documentary. Elvis on Tour trails after the King on a few concert dates in 1972, as he powers through a curious set list that downplays the classic hits in favor of the likes of "Polk Salad Annie" and "Proud Mary." Rehearsal footage, preshow jitters, and after-hours sessions singing gospel with the gang are included; most revealing is a sequence that follows Elvis off stage and into his waiting limo, where he towels off in exhaustion, cracks a few jokes, and listens to the praise of the entourage. These glimpses are a logical counterpoint to the concert material; less explicable is the rundown of Elvis's early years, which hardly fits the subject at hand--and frankly reminds us that Elvis looks pale and just a bit puffy at this moment in his life. The fun stuff includes a workout on the still-new "Burning Love" (Elvis has to read from a lyric sheet), committed takes on "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "I Got a Woman," and a spirited "Never Been to Spain," a song that fits Elvis's taste for simple, dramatic builds. That, and Elvis giving a stage introduction to "the guy that gives me my water and my scarves and so forth." The movie's structure feels a little random, not that that will matter to fans. At times it catches the King looking undeniably weary of it all, except in those moments when a song really catches him (certainly during the gospel moments) and you see just how utterly "in the music" he was. The split-screen approach is intact, and the film's "montage supervisor" was a young fellow named Martin Scorsese. Note about this 2010 edition: The original song that played under the opening credits, a cover of "Johnny B. Goode," has been replaced (apparently due to rights issues) with a live "Don't Be Cruel." --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews


I would say this movie on VHS back when they used to release a collection of Elvis. I think it was like five movies per box. However, it is always, ever since I saw how I start selling my collection of VHS to DVD purchase. Blu-ray transfer is great, it seems that the best they could do what they had done. Although, I would add that it seems to Elvis material, they tend to take better care of as the store with other items from that period. The only drawback of this DVD is thathas no extras. You could say throw in a review of the film, including people who worked on it (which is still with us) has said. But, well. It 's still Elvis. Some have said that this is not her favorite performance, film / DVD. I agree, but if this is not really qualify as a live concert. While you get some live performances that look good on Blu Ray (I have not seen the recently released DVD version of this, I can not really say what theThe differences between the two, I only have my memories VHS) Everything looks good, the sound is great. What I do not (and for that reason I have to buy special editions of Elvis in the studio chatting CD / alternate versions included) there is a sense of what Elvis was like as a person to obtain. You get to see him briefly working in the studio (I always wondered if they ever recorded live in the studio in detail and if so, if we are always in DVD) 's always nice to see behind the scenesStuff, as if it always gives you a better understanding of the man was. Elvis is a symbol, almost a myth, but in the scenes presented here and in other publications, show the person that Elvis, his shyness, his humility. Although I wish it included some sort of extra, the book is really nice that they contain, was the Blu-Ray set up as a book anyway. It 's very nice overall, the packaging and make a great add-on. Perhaps this could be done about the lack of DVD extras? I just want toall the movies of Elvis. and lots of other ideas that I can. Already edition deluxed (3dvds) '68 Comeback Special. I give five stars .. fully packed with extra), so I bought this DVD, whatever, but it's nice that at least has the function of presentation time to make a major release of the product. In any case, I would recommend it.

After this with a blue ray to my father for Christmas, I discovered that he had two different versions of this on normal DVD, we saw it on BlueRay, and it was much better detail, but still out of focus, as it is a very old recording is. My father loves the classic rock concerts, and loves this DVD, although I do not know if you really need 3 copies of it ...

Customer Reviews


Every man I've ever gone through all the others remained in their family while growing up that has no doubt through the channels with the hope that snapped in late-night feature, combined on top of chaos, and some hot women in threat high risk. I came of age around 1980, a time when cable TV is still a rarity. The best thing I had was Benny Hill, the glow of girls wrestling, and features extravagant as Zombie Children should not play with dead things, or the house of seven corpses. I was pleasedthen get nothing in return, I would actually sit down some of the horrible things that would show unwatchable Elvira, Mistress of darkness to capture just a taste of her beautiful C cups. None of this was exactly what I was looking for, but when TV was not really much different than the radio, you had to take what they wanted to give you. I did not know then, but in reality would be my darkest desires of these young people in the late night trips have achieved, the side of a filejust as evil aliens.

This begins with the kidnapping and the family gathering anal probe ... I say special, I thought that a wood Black and Decker drill boring. However, there are these difficulties telivision crew looking to increase their ratings, and they just happen to specialize in hockey supernatural stories particularly interesting. If they have to listen to these ET Welch impregnated a woman, decided to fill this crack team of misfits and visit her. You are not alone. Hemore rustic brothers who literally spit on the English language in the choice of such a funny shape mangled dialect of Welsh, which requires English subtitles to translate only to their return knotty vocabulary in English on film. "Eat Your Heart Out Mickey O'Neil!"

The host of this TV show is dodgy Michelle Fox, Emily Booth won fame by Pervirella. It 's like Vampirella and sports a built open race car driver Danica Patrick total well above her navel zipanything below. If only the real Danica Patrick would be wearing the same suit. All but one thinks of the people involved in this flakey television crew that this is a hoax and impregnation, in order to invent their own testimony, and their recoveries ball of corn. Then, the real aliens show up. These are not your cuddly Speilburg or foreign, which is more like the Predator monster scimitar sports. From that moment on, chaos is as fast as the different charactersto get the movie for her life against these lovable visitor caught during either alone or in small groups to fight.

Although the spirit of the antics and adventures much like the early Peter Jackson and Evil Dead II, is the essential difference between the amount of sex, which is thrown into the mix. Most of those in the form of mockery. God bless Breast Emily Booth. Not only did they sport the dress above, this is my future wife to wear around the house,but is also used for artificial insemination, and took nothing in, but be very belt, hold ... This will be my future wives evening dress. I said I'm Emily Booth Fan?

This is definitely a film you have to be in the mood for fun. The pendulum of acceptance can feel awfully far away to the moment when you swing on it. This little 'sci-fi horror adventure remains completelysatirical at all times. The viewer should not be taken too seriously Evil Aliens. For this reason, I can easily forgive the shortcomings of the space ship effects and some of the more ridiculous moments, like the trip very well out of a vehicle on foot in strange infested area, but only clean the windscreen with an article of clothing. This should be a problem, because there is nothing in this film that is not completely satirical at all times. AllThe characters, aliens, adventure, and Gore himself, all done in the name of satire.

"I have 20 acres, 43rd I have a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key."

One of my favorite bits is when satiracle madness of a TV crew to harvest tractor driving on a wheat field during the hunt for aliens on the run. Embark on a cassette entitled "The motivation Agricole Music" in a boombox crisp. (This title is written in tapebe Welsh and Gaelic are subtitled in English). What does, is a robust version of the song Brand New Key Melanie Welsh, sound as if a group of pub crawlers stout Welsh singing karaoke-style. The texts, in which the above changes, to support the joys of driving a vehicle with several groups of six, 12 feet long harvest rotating blades. Meanwhile, foreigners of being mowed down left and right, and their body parts thrown willy-nilly in a continuousCrimson spray splatter. The whole time this went before him, is our guide crew member of the reaper sing only to the tape while tapping the beat on the dashboard. These are the kinds of fun moments that greet you when you see Evil Aliens.

If you're a movie like She Creature 2001, or a film like Forbidden World of Roger Corman, AKA Mutant 1982, then you owe it to yourself to give this little doozie a clock. Only they see in a moment where you do not want somethingmore entertainment for the good of the show. Evil Aliens is a film that has for a particular purpose, it's just not a very enlightened.

Customer Reviews


I am a semi-martial arts movie fanatic. I Love Old Skool Kung-Fu movie with terrible acting, but well-coordinated fight scenes, but I also love the latest movies and visual effects such as Ninja Assassin. Kung Fu Hustle is a kung fu movie with a pretty good bit of humor here and there. The plot is pretty well the first couple of fight scenes are pretty darn good. My only problem with the movie and because I do not give five stars because the last fight scene is not that great.After the first two fight scenes in the movie I was expecting something much more brilliant and intense than they were given. E 'was left a pretty good place, but other than that, I rewind or go back to the fight scenes than others, and watch all the time.

The Complete Monterey Pop Festival- (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]







The Complete Monterey Pop Festival- (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Overview


On a beautiful June weekend in 1967 at the height of the so-called "summer of love," the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward - capturing a decade's spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey would launch the careers of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few among a wildly diverse cast including Simon and Garfunkel, The Mamas and the Papas, The Who, The Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic verite style, D.A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing those moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend destroying his guitar; Jimi Hendrix burning his. The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of The Monterey International Pop Festival ever produced, featuring all three films of the festival - "Monterey Pop" (1967, 80min.), "Jimi Plays Monterey" (1986, 50min.) and "Shake! Otis At Monterey" (1987, 18min.) - along with nearly every complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew, the "Outtakes" (1997, 120min.).

The Complete Monterey Pop Festival- (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Specifications


A special message from Lou Adler, an original promoter/producer for the Monterey International Pop Festival:

It was the first major Rock ‘n’ Roll Festival. No prerequisite…no precedents. We had no idea what to expect. The question of would people come was answered by mid-week prior to the start of the festival. They came and kept on coming. A major surprise was the extent of mainstream media coverage. When John Phillips and I arrived at the fairgrounds on the morning of the first day there were camera crews, photographers and journalists from all over the world. Add to that the advent of FM radio; and the following year Rolling Stone Magazine…Rock ‘n’ Roll was here to stay. Monterey gave birth to the first rock charity Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation, which continues to fund worthwhile causes in the names of the artists who appeared at Monterey. Precedents and prerequisites would be set for future concerts and festivals, including the overall treatment of the artist…Derek Taylor’s handling of the press…Chip Monks’ sound and lights…Pennebaker’s groundbreaking movie “Monterey Pop. The true legacy of The Monterey International Pop Festival is not the crowd size…not the weather…not a violent incident…it is the music. The groundbreaking artists who were introduced (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who) and the “rock royalty” (Simon & Garfunkel, Otis Redding and The Mamas & The Papas) that performed there continue to be revered and continue to impact to this day the music and musicians who came after it happened in Monterey on June 16, 17, and 18, 1967.

Customer Reviews


I have to play a disc from Netflix to Blu-Ray. This is awesome at all levels. If you read the Criterion Collection Essays [...], you'll see that most of the cast was just experimenting with the new form - Rock and Roll - because most of the actors (Mamas and Papas, Janis Joplin and others) was released in right and were strongly influenced by the movement of folk, blues and jazz, of course. The result was simply magical at all levels. Check the setlist. Check the artist.To see Hendrix perform The Troggs "Wild Thing" and then with his guitar on fire for the love of light, it was incredible. To understand that, before the concert that Hendrix, a stranger who had ridden the Chitlin Circuit 'for years, a guitar god is difficult, given the reputation he has built for himself converted to imagine in the next three years to get his life was before it was interrupted by Herion addiction. The same was true with Janis Joplin. To see Who's bashapart from their instruments was their way of performing art destructive, a concept I do not understand intellectually but emotionally, it is not important - that the world was 40 years ago, on a world whose innocence we have in some way affect everyone us, and when the 50s costumes were out the window and, since 1967 and the first rock festival, the death of JFK was omnipresent in the minds of young people and artists such as the growing U.S. involvement in Vietnam was and despite the PresidentNixon's attempts to control everything, since 1968, the Company was actually a win and the music, be relevant as never before or since, "continued the movement. Maybe it's Woodstock of 1969 was a great success. If it were not been to Monterey, there was Woodstock. Music has the power.

Blu-ray transfers are, in a word, perfect. The video is as clear as full of life, as you can imagine, and the audio is remastered in DTS HD Master Audio oneRevelation, and makes the whole experience that much more is available, who says that you can understand how you feel, even if the 16mm lens of the camera crew Pennebaker, a splendid job of filming not only the artists on stage but the artists themselves are sitting in the audience enjoy the music itself. This is a photo of Mama Cass to Janis Joplin singing "Ball and Chain" is priceless. As always, the camera man's attention to details like this that make little momentsin a movie even more special. I was horrified to learn, however, that the performance of the Grateful Dead was in fact one of his best performances to dance with all channels in the aisles. But no video. No sound. I'm going to get the second disc and when finances allow, it will become a valuable part of my collection of videos. I was only 6 for most of 1967, but for some reason feel a deep connection to this music. Perhaps because the crop of artists who have been hereAmerica then dominated popular music, many were. What has happened in pop music these days is just an insult to everyone that these are great musicians in their music, body and soul, things missing, unfortunately, today, when pop music is often there for the fame, not art done. This is art. Five stars. And if I could give six, I would. All I have to say is: enjoy.

I had some real high expectations of "Death Kappa. If you can survive the silly, over-the-top and ridiculous at the beginning of the film (which I could not bear KappaDance), it is true at a party. Once the monster begins to chaos, the film takes. The false manifest and armored cars are exhilarating. The headlights light up the "wall" on the set behind the monster and the rest in the middle is absolutely delicious. They want to tear off the tail to get things done something like Ultraman.

Dead & Buried [Blu-ray]







Dead & Buried [Blu-ray] Overview


The Creators Of ALIEN Bring A New Terror To Earth

Something very strange is happening in the quiet coastal village of Potters Bluff, where tourists and transients are warmly welcomed... then brutally murdered. But even more shocking is when these slain strangers suddenly reappear as normal, friendly citizens around town. Now the local sheriff (James Farentino of THE FINAL COUNTDOWN) and an eccentric mortician (Oscar(r) winner Jack Albertson in his final feature film appearance) must uncover the horrific secret of a community where some terrifying traditions are alive and well... and no one is ever really DEAD & BURIED.

Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) co-stars in this genuinely chilling horror hit written by Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon (ALIEN), directed by Gary A. Sherman (RAW MEAT), and featuring ultra-grisly gore effects by Oscar(r) winner Stan Winston (ALIENS, TERMINATOR 2). DEAD & BURIED is now presented in eye-popping High Definition, completely uncut and uncensored, and loaded with revealing Extras.

EXTRAS:
Audio Commentary #1 with Director Gary A. Sherman

Dead & Buried [Blu-ray] Specifications


Overlooked during its theatrical run but a cult favorite on video, this unique and chilling take on the zombie film finally joins the digital ranks with a two-DVD set from Blue Underground. James Farentino stars as a small-town sheriff who discovers that the victims in a string of grisly murders are reappearing seemingly alive and unharmed. His investigation leads him to suspect that the local mortician (Jack Albertson) is somehow responsible for these reanimated corpses; what Farentino doesn't know is the extent to which the entire town-himself included-is involved. First-time viewers will appreciate director Gary Sherman's attention to pacing and atmosphere, as well as the often darkly humorous script by co-producer Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Total Recall) and the solid cast (which includes future horror star Robert Englund); longtime fans will appreciate the fact that Blue Underground's uncut print restores many of Stan Winston's gruesome special effects. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews


"Dead and buried," was a hit before being turned into a book and published in 1980. The book was not even as old when the movie came out. And the film was so successful, because it is well done and very effective in following the history books. It was not a disc of B-movie in its day is good for anything that was out to compete with other initiatives in the study of higher budget made and did a good job because it's a great story. The Blu-ray only enhances the viewing experience of this film. And the end isstill shocking when the film was not seen. All actors are excellent and are well above the B-movie (which has its own level of charm and rating) that most horror films were. Jack Albertson James Farentino and shines a great job in this film and the supporting cast too. The effects are complementary in the early 1980s was, but still effective and the story very well. Blu-ray is the only way to go to this movie, even if the standardis excellent.

I love this DVD and listen to the CD. Alice and the band with new and old the same skill and enthusiasm. Not many artists can access from the marketing year 1970 are mixed with new material in 2005 and make it sound cohesive and fun. The whole band is in great shape is different, but Ryan Roxie. His solo on I'm Eighteen is incredible, I have heard many live performances of classical pieces, but this is my favorite. As Alice sings "I'm in the middle, with no plans," I expected to fly from his lung.He always gives 100%, so I have followed his career after 40 years. You never know what to expect, it is often confusing, sometimes disappointing, but always interesting. Perhaps it is also his long-awaited entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. He has influenced so many artists and ordinary people through his music and songs, is a farce, it is not always there. As he said in an interview that "it is a private club," and this is a disgrace.

But on this latest case, he may have finally met his match – Lazerus, a cunning and perversely violent killer who is on the loose and terrorizing the inner city. King’s desperate pursuit of Lazerus takes him into the dark, depraved Memphis underworld of street sex and senseless violence.


Customer Reviews


This film deserves 5 stars because of the hot brunette FBI Agent Frankie Miller (Holly Dignard)!

I have to give an assessment of 4 stars, the story and production. Most of the film is separated only by a power vortex on how maverick cop (Seagal, of course) trying to fit information on two serial killers in general. Some scenes are too abrupt and do not flow with the movie: eg. where and how did the FBI agent lands Miller to move into a house of a man who wasthreatened his wife with a gun? One minute of agent Miller went straight from a crime scene and the next scene shows a police officer and others in an already open door to the gunman. You should see how fast these sexy FBI agent their potential attackers disarmed easily without sweating brows waxed - moves faster than Seagal! LOL!

Zoom and Pan, to the camera, Steven Seagal.
Your fans want to see your footwork and hands, and how they move inReport to a deduction.
How do I produce a movie with you next time?

I'll tell you later!

Graduate (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)







Graduate (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Overview


Nominated for seven Academy Awards® and winner for Best Director, this ground-breaking and "wildly hilarious" (The Boston Globe) social satire launched the career of two-time Oscar®-winner Dustin Hoffman and cemented the reputation of acclaimed director Mike Nichols. Pulsating with the rebellious spirit of the '60s and a haunting score sung by Simon and Garfunkel, The Graduate is truly a "landmark film" (Leonard Maltin). Shy Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) returns home from college with an uncertain future. Then the wife of his father's business partner, the sexy Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), seduces him, and the affair only deepens his confusion. That is, until he meets the girl of his dreams (Katharine Ross). But there's one problem: she's Mrs. Robinson's daughter!

Graduate (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Specifications


Few films have defined a generation as The Graduate did. The alienation, the nonconformity, the intergenerational romance, the blissful Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack--they all served to lob a cultural grenade smack into the middle of 1967 America, ultimately making the film the third most profitable up to that time. Seen from a later perspective, its radical chicness has dimmed a bit, yet it's still a joy to see Dustin Hoffman's bemused Benjamin and Anne Bancroft's deliciously decadent, sardonic Mrs. Robinson. The script by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham is still offbeat and dryly funny, and Mike Nichols, who won an Oscar for his direction, has just the right, light touch. --Anne Hurley

Customer Reviews


I've seen "The Graduate", when the first time in 1967. It 'was a wonderful movie and one of the first of Mike Nichols and Dustin Hoffman. They also had the wonderful musical review of Simon and Garfunkle. Overall, first-class! Well, I thought that from time to time, when I put the S & G songs on the radio, but that was it. In any case, my wife and I were shopping at Ross and I found on the shelves of DVD business. I could not resist. My wife had never heard of, but she was willing togo with my word, would have liked. We both saw last night and enjoyed it very much. This is an exceptionally well-made film. Very funny. Emotional. A fun (and faith) Review of the early '60s. We can always be observed. This is an oldie but goodie.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale [Blu-ray]







Hachi: A Dog's Tale [Blu-ray] Overview


From Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallström (2000, The Cider House Rules) comes Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, a film based on one of the most treasured and heartwarming true stories ever told. Golden Globe winner Richard Gere (2002, Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, Chicago) stars as Professor Parker Wilson, a distinguished scholar who discovers a lost Akita puppy on his way home from work. Despite initial objections from Wilson’s wife, Cate (Academy Award nominee Joan Allen – 2000, Best Actress, The Contender), Hachi endears himself into the Wilson family and grows to be Parker's loyal companion. As their bond grows deeper, a beautiful relationship unfolds embodying the true spirit of family and loyalty, while inspiring the hearts of an entire town.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale [Blu-ray] Specifications


Based on a true story from Japan, Hachi: A Dog's Tale is a moving film about loyalty and the rare, invincible bonds that occasionally form almost instantaneously in the most unlikely places. College professor Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) finds a young Akita puppy that's been abandoned at the local train station, and he's instantly captivated by the dog. Assuming the dog's owner will return to the train station to claim him in the morning, Parker takes the puppy home overnight. But when no one comes to get the dog, Parker convinces his wife, Cate (Joan Allen), to welcome him as part of the family. He dubs the puppy Hachiko--Hachi, for short--because of the Japanese symbol for good luck that's hanging from his collar. Hachi is a somewhat peculiar dog that refuses to learn to fetch or master other people-pleasing tricks, but he is a faithful companion and friend to Parker, alerting him of potential dangers and accompanying him to the train station each morning and meeting him there after his return trip each evening. An unforeseen event will continually test Hachi's devotion. This film is neither overwrought nor sappy; it is heartfelt and immensely powerful despite its tendency to drag in a few places. Prepare to be moved to tears by this beautiful, seemingly simple film--it's about so much more than just the relationship between a man and his dog. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews


This is one of the best movies I've seen in many years. I bought this after seeing the movie on TV b / c I loved so much. I saw it again as soon as I get it and cried again. E 'moving, and despite the simple very complex history in terms of emotions that it brings. It 's a great story of great love and loyalty - even if it is sad mainly b / c other people in the life of Hachi are not very loyal to him, despite his loyalty. But there is also a deeply spiritual message -especially how it ends.
It 's just a great movie - the guy who works for a long time. I highly recommend this. And if you have a dog or animal lovers, add a star. If you're not, you will be at the end of the film. That is based on a true story makes it even better.
My two cents
Henry

Origin: Spirits of the Past (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]







Origin: Spirits of the Past (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Overview


The rebirth of the past from the ashes of the future ....

A young boy named Agito enters a forbidden sanctuary where a glowing machine resides. This machine preserves a young girl named Toola, who has a mission entrusted by her from the past. Three-hundred years into the future, the Earth's environment has been ruined by the interference of mankind, and in between the 300 years, the forest has come to life and is at constant war with man. It is an unsteady peace in an unnatural time. Only by searching their souls and examining the past will Toola & Agito realize the origin of all things and unite mankind with the forest.

Origin: Spirits of the Past (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] Specifications


Outstanding animation and a compelling environmental message make Origin: Spirits of the Past an above-average anime feature, especially for younger viewers. Despite an abundance of elements that many anime fans will find familiar, Origin distinguishes itself with a story that lends itself (like many anime features) to a variety of spectacular settings. As the fairy-tale story begins, it's been 300 years since terrible events left civilization in ruins. Now, in a post-apocalyptic setting where the crumbling remains of vast cities lie in close proximity to the encroaching forest, humans live on both sides of a brewing conflict. For young Agito, the son of an aging hero, life is relatively peaceful in Neutral City, a community built within the ruins of a once-major city. But when he wanders into a forbidden zone of the forest, where plant-like "druids" protect their world from outsiders, he discovers a cryogenic stasis tube containing Toola, a girl who's been resting in stasis for 300 years. Her father had been in charge of the "Earth Rejuvenation Project" that led to a technological disaster, and her emerging friendship with Agito is threatened when they find themselves on opposing sides of an ideological conflict, and Agito must save Toola from her potentially destructive convictions. He does so by becoming "enhanced"--essentially melding his human form with the forest, aligning himself with the powerful forces of nature. As a colorful mixture of science fiction and "green-friendly" adventure, Origin has a lot to say about preserving our planet in the era of global warming, and it's a visual treat from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews


If the movie Princess Mononoke turn out like this rather than looking just as nice. As some of the Japanese anime film of this mystical hold a series of shades to protect and honor the power of nature and the destructiveness of man, if not careful, the animation series and the soundtrack is also very reminiscent of Princess Mononoke , which fits well together. The item is about to launch something you have to decide for themselves, I am a big fan of veryFormer ADV Films and Funimation released anime, so I hear, these individuals and used actresses'm established and their characters fit very well, but he could see what decision or short scenes of the film for themselves, but As expected, the Japanese cast is splendid in their roles. This set contains two DVDs of the film is obviously the first and the second contains the bonus, the TV spots, comments and actor, trailers, and the birth of film, Isuspect a lot of people like me do not really is not difficult, but still very nice for the price less. So if you have the movie Princess Mononoke have here another great movie, add your Anime Library ....
