It's about time that the legendary series of The Dukes of Hazzard should be released on DVD (a box set of all the episodes). It is a show with which an entire generation grew up and is now seeking to relive those precious memories!
Yeeeeeeeeehhhaaaaaaaaaa!

Hello! I just want to ask that you please put the Dukes of Hazzard series onto DVD! It was a show that I watched all the time. But, now there is nowhere to watch the Dukes on television. I would really enjoy being able to have a DVD collection of the Dukes of Hazzard. Please release the show onto DVD's.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Please come out the the Dukes on DVD!!! This is one of my all time favorite series, it was one of the things that started my obsession with vintage Muscle cars, preferrably the '69 charger...(drool)....anyhoo...if you guys do not get Dukes on DVD I will be severely irate! Pleasseee?!!!

Duke Freid has returned to Godashim to find that his country is the next target of Zaibach. Faced with the inevitable, he asks Alan Shezar join with him. These two and Escaflowne must face the Four Demon Armies of Zaibach - some 55,000 men and 10,000 Guymelefs (war robots) - an overwhelming force. All of this to fulfill Folken's plans to gain control of the treasure of Freid - the power of Atlantis.

Hitomi is in crisis. Because of her peering into the grim future, she is plagued by memories of her horrid visions and refuses to help Van. The Prince without a country becomes determined to do for himself what Hitomi has taught him, with unexpected and nearly disastrous effects.

Who is the mysterious ruler of Zaibach, who complains that a dragon is keeping him from seeing the future in his Destiny Prognostication Engine. Now we find that he is an old man, once come from earth, but his agenda - is it really the conquest of all Gaea?

This is the turning point in the series. There can be no question at the end of this DVD that this is more than just another struggle between the forces of good and evil. The care that is taken to fill out each character and make fabulous kingdoms come alive makes this a drama that is far more believable than its fantasy setting.

Each episode offers something new, a piece of history, a new character like Dryden the trader, the strange Ispano people who made Escaflowne. This is one of those cases where anime shows its ability be the equal of film in drama and quality.

This series is quite a amazing. If you can sit down and watch through the entire series over a couple of days with someone else who enjoys it I promise you won't be disappointed. This volume offers some answers, some new questions and some amazing fights. If you liked the first 3 volumes or even some of them you won't be disappointed.

good good anime series. top notch directing, story, characters buy them all! but be sure to watch subtitled version.

Hitomi discovers that Van is a rare heir to the Draconians, the winged people of Gaea, a race that is viewed with suspicion by many humans. The first episode mixes history, the story of Van's parents and childhood with the very real present dangers they face in flight to the kingdom of Freid.

The following episodes explore Freid, and Allen Schezar's efforts to stave off and invasion from Zaibach, who are implacably chasing Escaflowne across the surface of Gaea. Folken makes use of a Doppelganger to infiltrate Freid and influence the judgment of Prince Chid, who is acting as regent. With Schezar recovering from wounds, Hitomi and Van must discover the source of their betrayal.

Millerna's relationship with Allen Schezar expands. It has been obvious that she loves him, but our initial impressions were of a selfish and spiteful young woman. Now we find unexpected depths and dedication to more than her own satisfaction. This is true of most of the characters in Escaflowne, just when you think you have them pegged, they grow unexpectedly. This is one of the factors that make this series exceptional.

Some thoughts about the dubbing. Since my Japanese skills are rudimentary, I have to rely on the English. And naturally, I would prefer spoken dubbing to subtitles. In Escaflowne, the English script generally follows the subtitles, with minor deviations. For the most part, the voice actors also seem appropriate to the parts. There are one or two exceptions though that do make it worth going to the trouble of listening to the Japanese, especially Dilandau, a psychotic warrior, who sounds menacing in the Japanese, and a complete idiot in the dubbing.

Even so, this remains a wonderful series, full of action, romance, and all the other things that make an adventure story more than just a battle of opposing forces. If you have got here by watching the first two episodes, you know what I mean. For newcomers, I suggest you track down the entire series.

I like it because of the storyline. A good story is all that matters. I hate sub vs. dub debates. A good anime transcends language and age barriers. I like the film quality of Escaflowne but most anime is overrated. Ignore sub vs. dub debates. A good anime will not be altered by the voiceovers it will be more believeable and connect with the audience better.

escaflowne is one of the best anime ever. It has incredible art, soundtrack, japanese voice-acting (bad english dub, though) plot, and characters. A must have.

This is one of the best buddy films ever! I remember seeing this at the drive-in when it first came out. I love the scenes at Madame Zenobia's and the picnic.

Does anyone know who sang the gospel song "How I Got Over"? I would love to add it to my collection.

From the time I saw this movie when I was a child until now, this movie never fails to keep me laughing. From the time Poitier and Cosby goes to Madame Zenobia's,(this high swanky place to have a good time) and gets robbed out of Poitier's lottery ticket; to their encounters with Little Seymour and Big Percy(Harold Nicholas at his best);Geechie Dan Buford(Harry Belafonte)to Silky Slim(Calvin Lockhart:"Never have so few done so much for so many"); The good Reverend(Flip Wilson:"Loose Lips sink ships, bubbla,bubbla,bubbla"), and put it all together and you got one heck of a funny movie. I love it and it will make your day as well.

I have to say that this must be one of the greatest buddy movies of all time. Both Cosby and Poitier have great chemistry with one another in their first outing with each other. I only wish there was a DVD version available. Also check out there second and third outings with one another Let's Do It Again and A Piece of the Action.

I would have loved to give this Five Stars rating if not for the awful set and the awful make-up of the male singers, particularly Mr. Hampson's wig and fake stubble. What is the purpose of this? In this production, we are very fortunate to have a group of singers who are wonderful to hear and also are very nice to look at. In the book "Opera for dummies", Angela Gheorghiu, Karita Mattila, Waltraud Meier, Roberto Alagna, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Cecilia Bartoli are listed as examples of "great looking" opera singers. The three of the singers mentioned are in this production. Mr. Hampson can certainly take Mr. Hvorotovsky's place. (The Siberian himself owns the role of Rodrigo in the Italian version. Where is his DVD of "Don Carlo"?)

This must be the best "Don Carlos" in term of the cast. Karita Mattila, the very first winner of Singer of the World, definitely lives up to her well-deserved title. Her singing and acting is just exemplary. Jose Van Dam's performance of Philip II is regal with authority, yet still maintains the sensitive side of the character. Merier's Eboli is charming. When she is scorned, she really is a lioness. Mr. Hampson probably has the best music to sing in the whole opera. "Don Carlos" could be subtitled as "Everybody loves Rodrigue". Who would not want a friend like Marquis de Posa? Mr. Hampson does not disappoint us. He sings and acts very well. The "male bounding" duet "Dieu, tu semas dans nos ames" with Alagna is just beautiful. The gently persuasive "L'Infant Carlos" can melt the coldest heart. The death scene may lack Mr.Hvorostovsky's impressive legato, it is very well sung, dramatic and moving. Mr. Hampson's Rodrigue seems more like a lover than a best friend. He thoroughly enjoys this and torments poor Bobby with every physical contact. It is almost comical to see Alagna's discomfort in such an interpretation. His interaction with Mr. Hampson is very awkward. He can hardly make eye contact with Mr. Hampson when they are alone. You can see the difference when he is with the ladies. Bobby Alagna strangely resembles Andrea Bocelli physically (Thank God Bobby does not sound like Bocelli). "Don Carols" is not a glorious role for tenor. The tenor works so hard for the whole time and the show stoppers are for the other singers. To his credit, Mr. Algana does a great job.

Overall, this long performance (210 minutes) is very enjoyable. It makes a worthy addition to any opera dvd library. For the price of $30.00, you can hardly get a seat in any opera house. This is a bargain, so grab it.

At first, this entire production of Verdi's masterpiece may seem a little odd: it's sung in French (not the usual Italian), it's totally uncut, and the scenery, costumes and stage directions are a little bizarre. Yet, it all comes together and not only does it work, but it is utterly amazing and is now THE recording of choice for this masterpiece.
What works here is that the nearly four hour opera is in the left in the hands of a great conductor (the terrific Antonio Pappano) and six terrific singer-actors who actually look the parts. As good as Domingo and Freni sound in the 1983 Met recording, they don't look like young lovers.
Here, we have Roberto Alagna and Karita Mattila as Carlos and Elisabet, respectively. Both look the parts, act the parts and, more importantly feel the parts. One feels the complete range of emotions these two go through. And, most importantly, their voices ring out gloriously, start to finish.
Waltraud Meier takes a little time to warm up (her Veil Song is mediocre), but once she gets going, she is terrific. Her "Don Fatal" is a showstopper here.
Thomas Hampson is a bit of a ham, as usual but his Rodrigue is intense and well sung, particularly his death scene.
The real standout here, though, is Jose Van Dam, as Phillipe. Vocally, he is more of a baritone than a bass and may not have quite the booming voice of a Boris Christoff or Samuel Ramay. But his voice is smooth, luxurious and boy can he act!
As opposed to playing the king as the usual one-dimensional villain, Van Dam portrays the part as that of a tormented, neurotic, aging man, who is slowly losing control of his empire, his family and his life. His Act IV aria, followed by his fiery confrontation with The Grand Inquisitor (the excellent Eric Halvarson)are true highlights, as is a deeply emotional duet with Carlos after the death of Rodrigue which is, sadly, almost always cut from the opera.
Once again, the bare, minimalist sets may startle some viewers at first, but, in the end, it makes sense. Don Carlos, like most Verdi operas, is a story of basic human emotions and relationships set in a dangerous time. There are moments here when one forgets that they are watching an opera, which is usually chock-full of mediocre actors employing constant stock gestures. The whole affair transcends the stage and takes on a cinematic feel. Never before have these basic human emotions of Verdi's masterpiece been played out so beautifully as they are here.

I am usually not a big fan of Alagna but this is a rare exception---impressive singing.Mattila and Meier are not true Verdian singers but they made up for it with their solid singing technique and wonderful acting.Hampson always sings well and with confidence and there is no exception in this performance.Van Dam and Halfason are both great choices for their roles and give you goose bumps.I could not stop watching for the whole 210 min. because of the beautiful music and singing.The conducting is flawless and sound is great.

The production is very simple and modern with some traditional undertone.The relationship between Marquis de Posa and Don Carlos is almost homoerotic!

I still like the Met 1983 production better. Freni and Ghiarov are perfect for their roles ( I am a big fan of Freni ). The traditional sets and costumes are more impressive.This current Don Carlos is the only French version available in video and there are beautiful additional music comparing to the Met. production.I highly recommend this DVD to all Verdi lovers.

I remember when I had saw this movie when I was a little girl and I had saw it on BET last year this is a great movie it is sad but it is still good I enjoyed this movie and I would recommend anyone who enjoys blaxploitation movies would enjoy this movie this is a great film about a little boy and his friend Cornbread he was a great basketball player and he had just recieved a scholarship to go to a college to play basketball and had dreams of becoming a pro- basketball player and one day a white cop accidentally shoots him and he dies and a big contorversy stirs in this small towm and causes havoc and trouble for everyone and really takes a toll on his friend and
makes it hard for him to cope with his loss but eventually things get better and then he goes on with his life but he never forget about his friend "Cornbread" . This is a touching heartwarming film that would make you just want to cry so therefore when you watch this movie be sure to have some tissue on hand. I would recommend anyone who is fond of dramas to purchse this video!!!!

This movie stands the test of time. I remember seeing this movie on the big screen when I was little.I was so moved by young Larry Fishburn performance that I found myself crying right along with him during the big tearjerking scene. So much talent even at that young age of 12. It's hard to believe that the sweet kid in "Cornbread Earl and Me" grew up to be the mean Ike Turner in "What's Love Got To Do With It"! One of my favorite movies as a child, "Cornbread Earl and Me" is now one of my children's favorite. The teenagers love it for the violence( angry mob attacks cops,woman gets 'pimp slap' in the face by crooked cop, ... etc.) but I like it because of the beautiful touching story. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

Aw later for you, Leonard Maltin! This movie is GREAT! This is an important story about friendship and manhood. Young Larry Fishburne's admiration of "Cornbread" rings true with any child who had an older friend to admire as a role model. But the outstanding part is where Fish's mother (Rosalind Cash) tells Fishburne to go to the courtroom stand and BE A MAN and not to be intimidated into giving false testimony of Cornbread's death at the hands of the police as the other witnesses were! This scene borught tears to my eyes and a "standing-o" from the audience I saw it with. This scene alone, with the message it gives to young people about integrity, is worth the price of admission alone!

I'm not a Woody Allen fan but I did like this movie, I liked the premise and I liked the acting of Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels and Danny Aiello and I thought the fantasy of a movie character stepping out of the screen and interacting with the real world was pretty charming and I have to say that as amusing as this movie is there are also scenes that are actually pretty sad. Like I said I'm not a Woody Allen fan but I do have to reccomend this movie!

"How many times is a man so taken with a woman that he walks off the screen to get her?"

I had to laugh the day I watched this movie. I realized my bed is covered in purple roses. At least, that is the pattern. Who knows, maybe I will run off to Hollywood soon. I think for my whole life I've always had a fictional character living in my mind, that perfect man who is poetic, has a sexy voice and is wildly witty.

Cecilia (Mia Farrow) seems to be dreaming of the same man because had I been in this movie we could have fought over explorer Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels). He is adorable, dreamy and romantic. His innocence, optimism and sense of wonderment is completely cute. He is present, intelligent, passionate, takes life with a dose of humor and is willing to fight for what he wants. He also loves talking to Cecilia and she can barely stop herself from fainting in his presence. She is overwhelmed when she realizes her fantasy exists.

Ok, so he is fictional and as Cecilia would say: "He's fictional, but you can't have everything."

Cecilia is trapped washing dishes in a diner, while she would rather be dreaming. She is beautiful, open to possibilities, willing to trust a man who shows her loving direction and has a healthy radiance. When she is not working or dealing with her verbally abusive husband (Danny Aiello), she spends all her free time escaping vicariously into the characters lives at the Jewel Movie Theater.

Her life is filled with hardship, while the characters onscreen live in luxury. Her husband is verbally abusive and even hits her when she gets out of line. She dreams of being with a romantic character and the thought that she will actually talk to a real-life movie star seems to be her wildest fantasy.

Cecilia is a good example of a woman with low self-esteem who is very intimidated by her husband. One day while watching "The Purple Rose of Cairo," one of the characters notices she has been watching his movie over and over again. He is so impressed, he decides to step right out of the movie and meet her. It is the stuff of fantasy!

Not only does he want to marry her almost the minute he sees her, he defends her and romances her beyond anything she could ever imagine. She is literally transfixed by his idealistic, poetic nature. That is until the real-life actor Gil Shepherd appears.

There has never been a movie that so captivated me and amused me to the core. I loved the original ideas, fantasy characters, the movie characters talking to the audience and the comedic timing is beyond perfect. Some scenes are so completely eccentric, the hilarity factor bubbles over like champagne. I was still laughing at the same jokes while watching this movie the seventh time in two days!

One is left wondering: "Are there any other guys like Tom out there?" I think there might be one left, somewhere on the earth. This movie is hilarious, short, sweet, innocent and maybe even a little sad. We are never sure if Cecilia continues to think of her inner world as a fantasy mansion or if she starts to see the sunsets in her real world and finds the real man of her dreams.

As David Deida would say: "We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart."

A movie to make you think about how you are living your life and what you would change in your life if you could "really" escape into the fantasy of your dreams. You are left thinking that perhaps you could dream a fantasy into life.

Take a Woody Allen movie where Woody politely stays BEHIND the camera. Add a perfectly cast Mia Farrow as a waif-like dreamer of a girl, living in the grinding poverty of the 1930's Depression and married to an blustering, brutal man. Top it off with a brilliant dual performance by Jeff Daniels who is a cinematic film hero who steps out of the screen and the actor who plays this hooky playing fictional character.

Cecilia (Mia Farrow) works as a waitress (on the verge of being fired). Her life is grim, living in a tenement with her no-account husband (Danny Aiello). Her one pleasure is the movies that she attends daily. Her favorite is "The Purple Rose of Cairo," and the explorer character "Tom Baxter" brings radiance to her eyes that never leave him. After multiple viewings, one day "Tom" falters in his lines, seems distracted, then steps out of the film and joins Cecilia in the audience. The cast and audience are suitably stunned; the cast enjoining him to get back on the screen so they can finish the movie, and the audience grumbling they didn't pay good money to watch the cast arguing among themselves. "Tom" is resolute, and out they walk, he in his pith helmet and explorer togs, Cecilia radiant. The movie industry is appalled worried about litigation and insurrection if characters start walking off the screen. Gil Shepard, the actor who played"Tom" is sent to the scene to talk "Tom" into getting back onscreen where he belongs. "Tom" clearly is innocent of what the "real" (as opposed to "reel") world is about. He is in love with Cecilia and she allows that he "is the perfect man. Of course, he's fictional." Real life "Gil," Tom, and Cecilia meet. The ending is surprisingly intense.

Jeff Daniels is dazzling as Gil/Tom. He handles both roles to perfection. The interaction among Daniels, Farrow, and Aiello is flawless. Much as I wanted to thoroughly despise Aiello as the low-life husband, he managed to make me laugh and feel sorry for him with his bravado performance. All the jokes and humor work in "The Purple Rose of Cairo," which isn't the case in many Allen movies. I believe this is Woody Allen's valentine to his beloved movies. It couldn't be better. Even if you are a dedicated Allenophobe, see this movie. You won't be disappointed.

While I think this documentary is a bit skewed in its presentation of punk rockers, we should all be thankful that The Decline was made. This is the best (perhaps only) live footage of some great bands at an incredible time in punk music history (late seventies/early eighties), including Black Flag, Fear, The Germs, and X. Punks get to see some of the venues that the bands played at back then, not to mention the offices of Slash Magazine (I loved the footage of Kickboy reading one of the letters to Slash). Highly recommended. This film definitely needs to be out on DVD.

In my high school days, a copy of "Decline of Western Civilization" was a treasure of purest gold. While the soundtrack was easily copied and traded, VHS to VHS copying was not so easy, and it was impossible to rent. These days, a copy may be rarer still.

"Decline of Western Civilization" is one of those "voice of a generation" type of videos, like footage of Woodstock might have been to the hippies. For many of us lonely punk rockers, in small towns throughout America, this video was one of the few places to actually watch bands like The Germs, X , Fear or Black Flag play live and to witness the energy that we listened to in our bedrooms. It let us know that we were part of a larger group.

As to the quality of the documentary, I am a little to colored by nostalgia. Of course, it is great. It is punk and has attitude, and that is what matters. I wish I had a copy.

Without question the best documentary of REAL punk with some of the finest video footage of these bands I,ve ever seen. Interviews of kids like the ones we were. Killer live music from the Germs, Black Flag (pre-Rollins), and the Circle Jerks. This needs to be re-released on VHS and many are waiting for a DVD edition.

When my husband asked me to watch this with him, I was like "ok, there's nothing on cable, might as well". I wasn't really thrilled about watching it but to my surprise it is one of the BEST movies I have ever seen. Robert Duvall is super in this movie not to mention James Earl Jones. This movie really says it all "it doesn't matter your color...family is family, it's just A FAMILY THING. I give this 2 thumbs up and 5 stars.

When I looked over the video box and saw the fine cast, I rented this movie expecting some enjoyable but fluffy entertainment. However, this sleeper turned out to be a true masterpiece, easily making my list of all-time best. Within the first few minutes, Robert Duvall gives us a study in fine acting when he confronts his father with the mother's letter about their long-buried family secret. And how many people would recognize the authentic Southern slang when James Earl Jones declares, "I ain't studyin' you!"

The only flaw I can find in this picture is the jarring music that inappropriately breaks the mood to introduce the final credits. But that's the only one, a millionth of a percent. I will snap up the DVD now that it is available.

Good story, great cast, engrossing from beginning to end. So why didn't this movie receive more attention? Was it because it isn't the kind that generates huge box office receipts? Was it moviedom politics? Or did the reconciliation between brothers who grew up on different sides of the color line make the p.c. types, the ones for whom injustice and victimhood are the only valid racial topics, uncomfortable?

I have to admit when I sat down to watch this movie I wasn't expecting much. After all so much has been written about crossing the color line in the USA and none of it has hit home for me, it seems that writers and film producers are afraid to tell the truth and either avoid the subject altogether or gloss it over in order to make it more palatable. However in "A Family Thing" there is no attempt to avoid the truth or gloss over the details and a story is told from the point of view of a man who one day finds out that his whole life has been built on lies. Earl Pilcher, played superbly by Robert Duvall is a white man living a white Southern life but with the death of his mother he finds that his family history is not what he thought it was. Armed with this knowledge he goes looking for his half-brother, Ray, played to perfection by the magnificent James Earl Jones, a man who has striven to bury the past, which includes his white half-brother. But Earl isn't Ray's brother for nothing and he proceeds to bulldoze his way into Ray's life and that of his bewildered family. Only the indomitable Aunt T, Irma P Hall at her crusty best is not fazed by Earl's appearance. She knows who Earl is the moment she meets him, and she's as blind as a bat to boot but filled with good Black Southern wisdom that has held her in good stead since the day her sister died not long after giving birth to Earl. This is a deliciously heart warming film with some genuinely moving and funning moments. I laughed and cried myself silly at Ray's attempt to keep Earl's identity secret from his Aunt, and Earl's shock when he goes to the supermarket with his Aunt and she tells the store owner that Earl is her nephew, and the store owner's expression because Earl is whiter than white. It's not all hearts and roses though, there are tough words spoken and violence takes place but the story glides steadily towards its gentle climax. With Ray's son grudgingly accepting Earl as his Uncle, and Ray himself coming to terms with a tragic past, the story ends with both men visiting their mother's grave and accepting each other for what and who they are. This is a brilliant film that somehow manages to convey a sense of America's colorful past that has been hidden in the shadows of history far too long. Two of the best moments in the film are the birth of Earl and how Aunt T eventually reconciles the embittered and angry brothers. This film might not be everyone's cup of tea but as yet in this genre I have yet to come across another film of such good quality. Billy Bob Thornton certainly knows how to direct films of merit.

This is a great DVD. It contains 4 episodes of action between Frieza and newly transformed Super Saiyan Goku. The menus are the same as the rest of the Frieza Saga and there aren't really any cool extras.

Although on the back of this video it says "Contains some violence and brief nudity," there is no nudity in these episodes. The best part was when SS Goku hits Frieza in the gut and he coughs up a truckload of blood, that was so cool. I also liked the music that played while Frieza was powering up to maximum strength. He, however, still couldn't really mach Goku's power because after Frieza hurtles him into a bunch of molten lava, Goku comes bouncing back. During the time when Goku was in the lava, it was cool when Gohan started beating Frieza up (he did the same thing when Frieza stabbed Krillin with his horns). It was also funny when Dr. Briefs, Yajirobe, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi were all stacked up on each other trying to keep the graphic communicator stable while they were talking to Gohan. I've seen the episodes after these, too, Goku kicks Frieza's @$$! Buy this movie, it's one to remember!
