“House” The only reason I would even consider having cable
The writers have done it again! The cast on House is now coming to life with a closer look at the new characters from season 4… and the ever so talented iconoclastic Hugh Laurie. Brilliant Genius!! If This first episode of season 5 is an Omen of what’s yet to come, it’s going to be a great season for us and for House!

Can’t wait for more
Wow! Kudo’s to the writers cast and crew! House gets better and better with every season and every episode. Our whole family hopes it lasts as long as The Simpsons. We look forward to every new episode and own every season on DVD.
Thanks for hours of drama, suspense, laughter and tears.

Like it
I never bought into the criticism that the new characters were the problem with the drifting of Season 4. The new characters really do show promise as evidenced in this 1st episode of 5. My contention all along is that there was some sloppy writing in some of the episodes of 4 and that the characters are really what the writer makes of them, and good acting.

This 1st episode is more reminiscent of the classic House. I would have liked to have seen House more involved with the medical decisions here, but it’s understandable that time needed to be devoted to build the personal story involving Wilson.

It really leaves one wondering how House can hold his life together. He is the extreme case of a person, or people, each of us have known, or know. This is what partly drives the popularity of this show.

I look forward to seeing how his character unfolds, or unravels, throughout this season and hopefully many more to come.

Customer Reviews:

Old Style Hollywood Glam in Gorgeous DVD Transfer
This is an exceptional DVD transfer of an exceptional movie. Criterion has done a magnificent job of restoring Charade to its colorful glory. The film is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The print is clear, crisp, and beautiful to behold. You feel as if you can reach out and touch the actors.

And what actors! The film features the dashing older version of Cary Grant and the youthful gamine Audrey Hepburn, with enough chemistry between them to ignite a fireworks factory. The plot is a convoluted and flimsy trifle about cold war spy shenanigans, with cases of mistaken identity and episodes of grave danger for Miss Audrey. But Cary, the classic good guy in cad’s clothing, is there to save the day. In addition to which he provides chaste romance that sizzles beneath the civility.

Audio commentary is provided by director Stanley Donen and screenwriter Peter Stone. While interesting and funny in spots, it does drag a bit over the length of the film. It may be better to check it out when you find something in the film that you would like to hear dissected. Otherwise, you’d be better to stick with the delightful, corny dialogue spoken in the dulcet tones of Cary and Audrey. The soundtrack music is to also to be savored, done up in classic ’60s spy movie style by the movie maestro Henry Mancini.

If you have nothing to do on a rainy day and own a DVD player, this is the movie you want to have on hand to pop in the machine and deliver you from care. It’s a keeper (and it comes in a keeper case!).

Criterion scores again!
I got this DVD for Christmas and I wasn’t disappointed. Stanley Donen, director of musicals such as “Singin’ In The Rain” starring Gene Kelly, brought together Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn (who looks luminous, as always) in this wonderfully-written story about a Parisian widow (Hepburn) who is being pursued by three dangerous men (two of which are played by George Kennedy – an excellent “heavy” – and James Coburn at his most menacing) who want to find out about a large sum of money her dead husband supposedly had. Grant is the helpful stranger but eventually you begin to wonder: is he working with these men? Does he want the money for himself? Or is he really the handsome, older man Audrey finds herself falling in love with?

Enhanced by a lush score by the late Henry Mancini, photographed beautifully in Paris and containing first-rate acting and deliciously wicked dialogue by writer Peter Stone, “Charade” is a film that should be in every serious DVD collection. Grant is older but better, like fine wine, and Ms. Hepburn … well there have been millions of words used to describe her and I can’t add to them other than to say the world lost a marvelous talent at her death.

You’ll enjoy “Charade” for a long, long time.

Nothing is really what it seems…
And that includes the quality of this release. It just goes to show that you can take a great screenplay from a great book, cast some stellar Hollywood performers at their peaks, add clear expert direction, stunning location sets, stir in a Mancini score, and still end up with a painfully disappointing experience. Especially when you consider the promise of the new DVD format, and today’s digital remastering techniques. Re-released through several small-time distributors (Front Row Entertainment of Canada, etc) Charade has been reduced to a sad caricature of it’s original beauty. By using worn-out, poor-quality source for the transfer to DVD these distributors have marketed a product that is not only inferior to the existing VHS tape versions, but an insult to the DVD format. To see this type of travesty is to know the real tragedy of copyright expiration and it’s resulting offspring–corporate greed at the expense of art, businesses reaping profits at the expense of unaware consumers, and worst of all…sometimes the loss of great examples of cinema magic. Thank goodness Criterion was able to resurrect what appears to be close to if not original film, and produce a release of Charade that shows what DVD is all about. If you haven’t seen Charade, I won’t spoil it by telling you the plot here. But whether you’ve seen it or not, I will tell you this: Spend the money and get the Criterion version for DVD, or save your money and buy the VHS tape version. Avoid the budget DVD versions at all costs–they’re no bargain…just a waste. Enjoy!

An ultra-cynical exposé of suburban life
Like Little Children, American Beauty, and Edward Scissorhands, Weeds portrays a planned community as a forgotten circle of Dante’s Inferno. Suburban life really isn’t the gated paradise the brochures from the housing committee promise; rather, it’s a cesspool of petty people with too much money and nothing to do with their lives. We’ve seen these kinds of shows and movies before. What’s unique about Weeds is that there really aren’t any sympathetic characters. Even the children in the show come off as selfish demons (who seem far too wise and ironic for their respective ages). The cast is superb. The things they do and say make you alternately cringe, laugh, and open your mouth wide to say, “He did not just do that!” And it’s worth mentioning that the end credits to each episode generally feature a very funny and sometimes dirty folk or pop song that serves as an audio metaphor for the entire episode. I enjoy the show’s attempt to tell a quirky and increasingly unrealistic tale that must be a tremendous challenge for the writers.

On the other hand, the show doesn’t evolve much further than a writer’s delight: So much of the dialogue is simply a stream of creative, new curse words and phrases. These start off as shocking and funny, but the veneer wears thin when you realize that it’s just a device to divide your attention from the fact that very little is happening in the show, because all of the characters are made of the same selfish mold. It reminds me of how Family Guy uses the same device in nearly episode: Something happens and Peter will be reminded of the time when he [fill in the blank], and the show proceeds to randomize the plot with a barely relevant flashback. Again, funny for a while, but it gets old fast.

I should say that I’m not at all put off by Weed’s liberal politics, with which I tend to sympathize, and which is probably the most consistent (biased?) part of the show. Yet something essential is missing from the discussions on race, immigration, drug trafficking, teen pregnancy, single motherhood, suburban life, religion, draft dodging, and so on. In the end, I have a sinking feeling that the show itself is selfish. The show, like the characters in it, wants to gate itself off from the views of dissenters like conservatives and the religious. But that’s the way extremism works: Just as fundamentalism breeds no irony and imposes a black/white morality onto humanity, material secularism obfuscates personal responsibility and self-discipline. In short, the show preaches to the choir who thinks the world would be better if everyone was a little higher, and the show only rarely entertains the possibility that maybe that’s not really true either.

Great TV watching, original!
You wont be bored! You will definately be engrossed in this family. It is fun and funny. The kind of show where you can watch more than one episode in a row.

Watch Commissar Online. Movie Title: Commissar Average customer review: Commissar is available for streaming or downloading. Click Here to Stream or Download Commissar

Based on the epic “In The Town Of Berdichev” by the expansive Ukrainian Jewish writer Vasily Grossman (author of “Life And Fate”), this film was originally shot in 1967. It was “shelved” for over 20 years by being denied funds for its completion, finally coming to light in the Glasnost era.

It concerns a woman commissar (military political officer) named Vavilova in a Red Army cavalry unit during the Russian Civil War of 1918-20. She finds herself pregnant to a fellow officer who has recently been killed, and is billeted with a abominable Jewish tinker, Magazannik, his wife and six kids. From her initial hostility to her modern surroundings, she eventually becomes fervent in the life of the family, before giving birth to her child – and then disappearing to join the first Red Army unit that passes her map.

It’s not difficult to understand why the Soviet authorities didn’t want this film to be seen. Besides the fact that Grossman wrote the novel fable (he died in 1964 after falling from favour when he submitted “Life And Fate” for publication in 1960), the ambivalence between her roles as agent of the Revolution and mother of her child would have been more than the Soviet censors could have tolerated.

This is one of the most tantalizing war films that I have ever seen.

Komissar is a movie very dear to me. I watched this for the first time in my life in November 1989, in Romania. I was quite young, Ceaucescu had his last Communist Party Congress – he was to topple with a (literal) bang soon, in December 1989. I level-headed remember how troubled I was that the Communist censors allowed this wonderful anti-Communist movie into the cinemas… it must have been ignorance rather than courage.

This 1967 movie was banned during its absorb time, the director Askoldov never made a movie again, his very life was in exertion for a while. Even as slow as 1987, in full-blown perestroika, he had troubles to pick up his movie out of the censors’ hands. Finally he could do it, and the movie was a triumph with international critics and audiences.

If you have this is an feeble, half-boring movie, the main quality of which would be that it was audacious for its believe time, judge again. This is a poetic masterpiece which endures fantastically well the test of time. If you only like American movies, avoid this. If you’re reasonably cultivated movies-wise, if you like Dreyer, Fellini, Carne, Kadar, and the like, by all means, do not allow yourselves to die before watching this movie. Askoldov, the director of one and only serious movie, is on the same level with the ones named above. Apologies for the apparently shrill sale pitch, but yes, this is a one-of-a-kind masterwork. It is deep, tragic, subtle, it deals with the ethics and chaos of war, without the gore nor the guts. I would position this movie on the same pedestal as I residence Kadar’s (also original) The Shop on Main Street.

A few words about this particular edition, which made me throw the stale, worn-out VHS tape to the garbage: it is fantastic as well. Everything is ideal. (OK, the English translation could have been better, perhaps.) The transfer, both in its video and audio aspects (terrific soundtrack from a young Schnittke!!) made me experience this, on a plasma TV, like I was benefit in the cinema.

What was even more unexpectedly proper and safe was the second DVD, containing special features. I have never seen, not even in my many beloved Criterion DVDs, such a first-rate, relevant, well-made bunch of interviews – with priceless historical context, contemporary documentation and the like. Watching the special features was almost as riveting as re-watching the movie itself.

Do not pick this in any other edition. This is cinema at its moral best, offered in an ideal packaging.

The DVD treatment of this film is also the scheme a classic should be treated. Disney pulled out all the stops for the DVD’s in their fresh “Vault Disney Collection” which has 4 different releases as of 1/29/03. I have always loved this movie, and you can read all the enormous things about the film itslef from other reviewers and from the vhs reviews. I want to talk about the DVD treatment. First and most importantly it’s WIDESCREEN, maybe for the first time outside of a theatre. What a incompatibility it makes, the film is pleasing in its scope as it was originally intended.

EXTRAS!! Read all about it!

There are about 3 hours worth of wonderful extra material here. To score all of the extras is not easy, so construct clear you inch around and push on every icon (especially arrows) you can and be determined to even pursue the items that do not sound provocative to you since they can in turn lead to yet another submenu of goodies.

The 2 disc area has mighty more than is listed here or even on the packaging itself. One of the best bonus features is a complete vintage episode of the Walt Disney television prove from 1957, the episode called, “Best Doggone Dog in the West”. It has half the episode devoted to a late the scenes promotion of the film, featuring Dorothy McGuire as our narrator. The other half had a huge outmoded featurette called “Arizona Sheepdog”, that ran in theatres in 1955 before a main feature. (TRIVIA not on this residence – this episode was altered in 1961 for its rerun, and the Ancient Yeller segment was replaced with a 101 Dalmations segment.)

Several featurettes and archive Galleries with studio fan cards, costume construct sketches, lobby cards, invitations, film production letterhead, posters, magazine ads, screenplay, and the complete exhibitors campaign book; Audio features with production photos and leisurely the scenes shots with the sounds of Radio Spots from the fresh release, two songs, a foley sound effects demonstration, and 2 interactive “Sound Studio” demonstrations. Also more production archives; included is the fan letters sent to Gibson the author; a news yarn from TV about the unveiling of the memorial to Former Yeller in Gibsons home town, which Disney studio participated in; a documeentary on the writer; a short unusual video called “Dogs” ; modern interviews with cast members;

My celebrated, a nice featurette giving us a first ever rare peer of the illustrious “Golden Oak Movie Ranch” owned by Disney where this film and so many others were filmed. I had always wanted to behold it and my wish finally came upright. Another feature is the 1961 Disney Studio Album which is a photo album/video showcasing everything the Disney Studio created in 1957 from Parks, to TV, to film. A really well-organized extra is the right complete recording of the modern “Former Yeller” storybook LP album released as merchandising, narrated by Fess Parker. Next there is yet another documentary on the making of the film.

Also included here as a astronomical bonus is the modern theatrical Pluto cartoon “Bone Distress” released along with the Outmoded Yeller in 1957, so you can study it the procedure you did attend when. Point To the kids the contrivance it musty to be, when you went to the movies and you saw more fun stuff than unbiased commercials before the main feature.

I challenge anyone to contemplate this without getting caught up in the sage, or to preserve from singing the enormous title song. All ages truly treasure this family film. The book that the myth is based on by Gibson will long be remembered as a classic. Disney respected the book in their film, and made a movie that is many immense things.

Thank you!, whoever at Disney pushed to treat this DVD like this. The extras have caused me to rave about the Vault Disney series to everyone I know and recall extra copies for my loved ones as Christmas presents. I hope all Disney fans hold tons of these so Disney understands it is worth putting the extra work into a DVD. If I could give it 10 stars I would, well worth the label!

I first saw this as a kid and nearly never saw another movie again. Especially one with an animal in it. For anyone who has ever bonded with an animal (especially a dog), “Veteran Yeller” strikes a nerve or two. The was also the first time I ever heard the phrase “It’s only a movie!” after I saw “Worn Yeller” because I cried so hard. This is probably one of the finest family films ever made by the Walt Disney people. It’s a simple sage of a frontier boy who bonds with a stray dog (that more than proves it’s loyalty) and the boy’s final realization that he has to grow up. Dorothy McGuire is the steadfast mother and Tommy Kirk is the boy who must invent a gut-wrenching decision that will commence him on the road to maturity. I hated this movie for years but as an adult I more than peek the beauty of it now and highly recommend it all round. But preserve those kleenex handy because if you’re like me, you’ll need ‘em.

Former Member of Shakespeare Behind Bars
Although I am not in this documentery, I was a prisoner at Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in LaGrange, Kentucky during filming. It’s almost hard for me to praise the film because I have a biased opinion. I know every one of the guys in this film personally and have experienced much of what they have. This film is about searching yourself, searching for the truth of who you really are inside. No other prison program helped me more than Shakespeare Behind Bars because for the first time in my life, I took a look at the real me. As the men in this film allow you to take a look at who they are, I challenge you to face your own personal truth just as I did while I was a member of Shakespeare Behind Bars. In the words of William Shakespeare, “To thine own self be true”!!!

One of the best films of 2005
Shakespeare Behind Bars (dir. Hank Rogerson) cracks open the hardened shell of an audience and makes us look at the true human soul inside characters who are otherwise dismissible as “monsters.” There is nobody I wouldn’t recommend it to. So I have to limit the focus here to what was most important to me about the film and why I walked out knowing that my life is better for watching it.

Curt Tofteland has been volunteering on a weekly basis with prisoners in Kentucky for ten years now to direct the Shakespeare Behind Bars program: 30 inmates who rehearse nine months to perform one show. Through a friend I was given the opportunity to have breakfast with Curt Tofteland and Hank Rogerson, director of the documentary. As I tried to hang words on what the documentary meant to me, Curt just nodded with a knowing smile. He told me that Shakespeare isn’t just a literary icon, but the writer who captured raw humanity better than anyone ever has. Which is why he brought Shakespeare to the prisoners.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year after year these inmates wear a hardened mask, a false-self who feels no pain. It’s survival of the fittest and softness is not rewarded in prison. But for the 30 inmates involved with the Shakespeare productions, honesty is a mandate. They are cast by their peers in roles that fit their background and their crime. In their rehearsals they push each other to go deep, to find honesty, to not act but really wear their character, which for a lot of them means wearing their own skin for the first time. From the screen, their souls became palpable during rehearsals. I watched them discover for the first time the true man behind the label “prisoner,” “deviant,” “convict.”

The film is breathtaking. I laughed and I cried. Then I left the theater chewing on the fact I just just laughed and cried through the struggles of men society has deemed unsafe to enjoy the freedoms I enjoy. That’s a sure sign of great filmmaking.

a rare experience
This film has rightly been feted generously with accolades and prizes – it’s a brilliant Idea, and a deeply affecting, memorable experience. Others here have shared the general premise of the film. I suggest wholeheartedly that it be required viewing for every living educator, it contains life-giving helpings of both seeds and fruit of the vast and intimate fields of purpose educators face every day in myriad ways. Tenderly directed by Hank Rogerson, copiously rich with a story of human beings finding redemption through Shakespeare’s eternal art, Shakespeare Behind Bars is a one-of-a-kind jewel. By film’s end, the ‘bars’ melt away in an ineffacable lesson about FREEDOM, miraculously enough, and very real human suffering finds a resonant voice in these prisoners who have never had one, a voice that shouts with hope. It is, simply, a film of joy in the divine power of human art. I’ve not encountered another like it – it sticks to your ribs and cleanses your mind. Don’t delay the experience! Check it out – you’ll be awfully glad you did.

It was with sizable anticipation that I viewed The Third Man recently. I had last seen it nearly 25 years earlier. At the earlier viewing I was impressed with the atmospheric treatment of Vienna and the mystery surrounding Joseph Cotton’s search for the truth about his friend Harry (Orson Wells) . However, though I then plan of it as a very magnificent movie, I did not deem it would depraved in my top 20. Now I discover what I missed as a younger person. I can also leer why this film would nefarious as number one on a British list of greatest films of the 20th century.

The film is a surreal examination of the tension between loyalty, cherish, and friendship on the one hand, and truth and justice on the other. The Viennese are suffused with the cynicism of a destroyed continent and damaged culture. The British know only about the truth and justice side of the equation. The American writer of simple westerns detached is naïve enough to care about friendship and truth, and follows both wherever they lead. At the same time, Carol Reed scarcely shoots a scene in which there are just angles. Nearly everything is tilted. Close-ups of faces exaggerate their features. The shaded and white of the film emphasizes the gloomy nature of the sage and its legal underpinnings.

At first Holly Martins (Cotton) thinks he is helping his best friend, Harry Lime (Wells) . At the same time he becomes Harry’s rival for the woman, Anna. When Harry realizes that Holly has discovered his suitable rotten way, Harry has a chance to slay Holly and acquire it discover like an accident. What stops him? Friendship? And why does Harry pick up Holly’s invitation to meet? In the penultimate scene in the underground sewer tunnels, does Holly fire the final and fatal shot, or does Harry destroy himself?

Who was Harry Lime (Orson Welles)? An cross man, devil in the flesh who was responsible for the unspeakable crimes, yet colorful, gratified and charismatic. His most noted words, a short speech written by Welles himself, say a lot about his character and motivations:

“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgies they had warfare, dismay, execute, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly worship – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that make? The cuckoo clock.”

No wonder, we like him, even though we know what he’d done…

It has been said thousands of times about the greatest movie entrance ever – but what about his ‘exit’ – the fingers on the street? I deem it is one of the greatest, too…

A ravishing mysterious girl with tragic past was in fancy with him and the unforgettable ending, so anti-Hollywood, so good to the film – was about her cherish that goes beyond the grave. I read that both Selznick (the producer) and author Graham Greene had initially argued for something more upbeat (Holly and Anna walking off arm-in-arm), but Reed disagreed. I am so joyful that Reed won (I am determined millions of fans are, too) . That was the procedure to enact the movie and form it noteworthy more than impartial typical noir. Makes the viewer judge about admire, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, the label one pays for them.

Amazing film – perfectly shot; almost flawless. It looks and feels like Welles himself could’ve made it. The influence of Citizen Kane is undeniable. The only pickle I had – the music. I like it but it was very weird to hear it in the film like The Third Man. Maybe that was a purpose – instead of somber, irritable, and ominous music that would be expected for the noir film, something completely different and out of spot – pleased but unfortunate in the same time…

Criterion DVD is astonishing – the restored version of the film shines. There are two openings of the film available – British and American, and a lot of extras.
