Ranma 1/2 - Random Rhapsody - Demon From Jusenkyo (Vol.4)
Released in DVD by Pioneer Video (21 August, 2001)
In the two-part title episode, Happosai gets an overdue comeuppance when Akane is kidnapped by a Minotaur-like monster. Happosai once bathed a baby in the most cursed of the springs at Jusenkyo--the one in which a yeti riding an ox carrying a crane carrying an eel drowned--hence this bizarre creature. But there are worse fates than turning into a monster, as Ranma and the gang discover. Purloined underwear from a girls' dorm saves Ranma and Akane--and undoes the lecherous old man. Sentaro, the terrible jinx who rivals even Joe Btfsplk in "Li'l Abner," reappears, and disaster inevitably follows. The fate of the Daimonji School of Martial-Art Tea Ceremony hangs in the balance as Ranma and Akane help find his missing grandmother. It's all very silly--even by Ranma's freewheeling standards--but very funny. Not rated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Slapstick violence, mild risqué humor. --Charles Solomon

Great as ever............Okay Ranma 1/2 is a great anime series, however this particular vol is really wonderful. A new cursed delightful character is presented this time. A beautiful kid who turns into an ugly giant demon! A must see.
Ranma 1/2 - Random Rhapsody - For the Love of Akane (Vol. 8)
Released in DVD by Geneon Entertainment (19 March, 2002)
Average review score:
GREAT PIECE OF ANIME!!This is an unbelievable animé series! I am so hooked on Ranma 1/2 now! This was my first DVD actutally seeing Ranma; never seeing and episode of the series in my whole life. But even if you want to see Ranma, THIS is the DVD to get because it's humorous(with mostly sexual humor), there's some partial nudity, but hey the 3 eps on this DVD is well worth it!! Here are the ep titles:
-Gosunkugi and the Magic Paper Dolls-
-Akane's Unfathomable Heart-
-Master and Student...Forever?!-(Caution: This is the episode with girls in the locker room in their lingerie and there's a scene with only them trying to cover themselves up with towels; but all that's meant to be kept private is covered up, so don't let it faze you.)
I recommend this series for kids 13 and up!
Ranma 1/2 - Ranma Forever - Wretched Rice Cakes of Love (Vol. 5)
Released in DVD by Geneon Entertainment (11 February, 2003)
Akane buys some mochi (cakes molded out of pounded rice paste) from a vendor who tells her the enchanted pastries will reveal her future husband's identity. It looks like Ryoga's the lucky guy (!), but Ranma uncovers the secret in a clever plot twist. When Kuno and his sister Kodachi quarrel, an album of scandalous photographs of "the pigtailed girl" becomes a bone of contention. Ranma has to do a series of lightning changes between forms to get the album away from the squabbling siblings. When he starts to wonder how Kuno got the photos in the first place, Ranma discovers Akane's venal sister Nabiki and Kuno's long-suffering servant Sasuke have a profitable little business going. Richard Ian Cox is getting better at capturing boy-type Ranma's pig-headed moodiness, although he's still not as effective as Sarah Strange. (Rated 13 and older: brief nudity, mild sexual humor) --Charles Solomon
Average review score:
So funny and kawaii!During episode one, Akane makes some cherry-blossom Mochi that will reveal the man she is to destined to be with. If there aren't an X will appear on his face, but if he is... there will be sakura petals. AFter accidentally eating some Ryouga gets petals on HIS face and Ranma gets jealous. Though the petals strangely resemble a certain little black pig's hoofprints...
Episode 2 is my favorite. Its rainy and all off Happosai's fireworks for his Happo-fire burst get too soggy to work. He developes the mold burst and soon the Tendo house is covered with fuzzy mold. This one has my sister and I laughing hysterically from the very begging.
Episode three is where Kodachi steals her "dear" brother's album with the "embarrasing pictures of the pigtailed girl. Is it too hard for Kuno too apologize for destroying her poster of Ranma?

Remember Pearl Harbor
Released in DVD by Questar Inc. (21 May, 2001)
This documentary about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is not so much about the events on the morning of December 7, 1941, as it is about the long series of events that brought America and Japan to open conflict. The rise of Japan as both industrial and naval power is contrasted with what the documentary openly declares to have been racist attitudes toward Asian nations exhibited by many Americans of the day. The outbreak of hostilities in Europe, the "America First" movement of isolationists, and the Roosevelt administration's support of Britain's struggle against Nazi aggression is discussed. Japan's naval genius, Admiral Yamamoto, is profiled, and Japanese plans to attack an unprepared base at Pearl Harbor are described. The attack itself is portrayed through use of archival footage. This film does an adequate job of presenting Pearl Harbor in a historical context, but it is somewhat upstaged by a separate documentary included in this package. The great director John Ford produced documentaries for the U.S. government during World War II, and his classic film December 7, 1941, which won the Oscar® for Best Documentary in 1943, appears on a second disc. Ford mixed footage of the actual attack with shots of model ships to portray the attack, and what it may lack in special-effects wizardry it more than makes up for in its immediacy and passion. Two other Ford documentaries, The Battle of Midway and an hour-long film about the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, are also provided, and while the quality of the picture suffers at times (the transfer appears to have been made from a worn print), the documentaries themselves are well worth seeing. --Robert J. McNamara

DVD Extras--The Complete Pearl HarborGreat DVD Extras outside of the super main program of 60 mins. 4 hrs on two DVDs. Stories of Battlehip Row explains the details of what happened to the Battleships. "Hollywood's Pearl Harbor" with movie Trailers of "Tora, Tora, Tora" and others. "Attack of the Midget Subs" was interesting and unknown. "Salvaging the Fleet" was amazing. "The Pacific War on film" complete with "December 7, 1941" Academy Award Winning Doc. Great unseen Color footage of Pearl Harbor 1941. By far the most complete and Best product on the details of the event.
Secret Agent AKA Danger Man, Set 4
Released in DVD by A & E Home Video (24 September, 2002)
Average review score:
More realistic than James BondThe people involved in producing and writing this program were previously involved in early post war journalism specializing in espionage. This is what makes the program so realistic. Some liberties are taken from reality by the use of gadgets. Watching this series will give members of the X generation a feel for what the world was like a few decades before they were born.

I was so happy...that's how good this movie is! BUY IT NOW...don't waste anytime:o)
The Twilight Zone - Vol. 36
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (14 November, 2000)
"The Chaser"
Based on a story by John Collier, this comic tale of ill-gotten love features a spurned lover (George Grizzard) gaining the affections of his phlegmatic coquette (Patricia Barry) through the agency of a love potion--with not quite the delightful outcome he had expected. The bookish, wizened dealer in potions is played with crusty effectiveness by John McIntire.

"The Rip Van Winkle Caper"
A criminal mastermind (Oscar Beregi) and his ruthless accomplice (Simon Oakland) steal a fortune in gold bullion, then go into suspended animation so they can enjoy their take a hundred years hence. Only the desert in which they wake up makes water more precious than gold. Splendidly acted by the two leads, though the episode's ironies are too easily anticipated.
"The New Exhibit"
This tale of murder and madness stars Martin Balsam as Martin Lombard Senescu, curator of a wax museum's murderer's row and soon-to-be inheritor of his charges' indecent fame. When the museum closes, Senescu houses the waxy simulacra in his air-conditioned basement, and eventually his obsession with the likenesses of Jack the Ripper and Landru causes them to act out his unconscious yearnings. Although credited to Charles Beaumont, the script is actually by science fiction writer Jerry Sohl, one of several friends who ghosted for Beaumont when he suffered from near-senile dementia toward the end of his life. As a result, the episode lacks the slick elegance and grim humor that marked Beaumont's best work, but it is nevertheless funny.
When you stumble onto this disc's hidden features, you'll find isolated music tracks, original ads, and program bumpers for the three episodes. --Jim Gay
Average review score:
Best laid plans go horribly astray in "The Twilight Zone"The best laid plans of mice and men in invariably go astray in "The Twilight Zone" as evidenced by the trio of episodes collected on Volume 36 of the DVD series. Love potions do not work well in the Zone, as Roger Shackleforth (George Grizzard) learns in "The Chaser," written by Robert Presnell, Jr. and based on the short story by John Collier. Roger is desperately in love with Leila (Patricia Barry), and purchases a love potion from a professor named "A. Daemon." The potion works so well that after six months of marriage Roger is back looking for something a bit more deadly. In "The Rip Van Winkle Caper," written by Rod Serling, four men steal a million dollars worth of gold bars off of a train from Fort Knox. To get away with their crime, Farwell (Oscar Beregi) has created a gas that will put them in suspended animation. They awake 100 years later, but it seems one of them, DeCruz (Simon Oakland), is greedy enough not to want to share any of the stolen gold. "The New Exhibit," written by Jerry Sohl, is set in Ferugson's Wax Museum, where attendance has been poor. Ferguson has sold the place, which will be demolished and replaced by a supermarket. But Martin Lombard Senescu (Martin Balsam), who has worked there for 30 years, can not stand the idea since five of the figures, notorious murderers such as Jack the Ripper and Albert W. Hicks, have become almost like friends to him. Reluctantly, Ferguson agrees to let Martin take the figures to his own basement, in hopes that someday he can start his own museum. Martin's wife Emma does not like the fact that they are starving while the electricity runs all night to preserve the wax figures. But when she goes down there one night to pull the plug, Martin finds here dead the next morning with her blood on Jack the Ripper's knife. This is one of the better hour-long episodes from the Zone's sub-par fourth season. While none of these episodes are classics the last two are certainly well above average, so we will round up to 5 stars for this one. What stands out on this DVD are not so much the stories but the performances by Balsam, Oakland and Beregi.

Zoids-The Coliseum BattleAs you've noticed this vol. is called The Coliseum Battle,but there are no titles refering to this in this vol.,so by my terms this refers to the last episode in the series.There 4 episodes(like any other vol.).The episodes featured are The Princess Arrives:Mary Champ in which Harry looses all his zoids.His Sister Mary comes to talk him out of zoid battling.He tells her he's in it to beat Bit and win Leena which Mary thinks Leena is a push over.She sees the ligerzero and chanlges the Blitz team to a battle for it.But they loose and the ligerzero remains for the Blitz team and Mary decides to let Harry loose...i mean try to win his battles.Next Desert Tusk:Assult of the War Sharks the Fofma team vs. the Blitz team, The Sensational Three:Rematch with Jack Cicso in which the Blitz team looses their first battle,and Zero is Stolen:The Firey Battle.This episode is what the title refers too.In this episode Zero is stolen by the Backdraft and Bit has to fight the Elephander and be apart of the Backdraft or they'll eraese Liger's memory.The two fight in a coliseum which is interuted by the Hover Cargo's assult of gun fire.I won't tell you the rest you'll just have to find out yourself.You should buy this series of excetment today.
