Julie Andrews and James Gardner are at their very best in this charming holiday tale of two lonely people finding their way to each other after the loss of their respective spouses to Alzheimer's and heart disease. Julie plays a fiesty surgeon who values her independence. James plays a construction foreman with a few old-fashioned notions about what women can/can't do, and the clash is inevitable! It's hilarious, sweet, and funny all at the same time. You'll LOVE watching this video and will surely want to add it to your personal collection. It's a classic for Julie Andrews fans!

I love this movie! Everyone should see this sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas! Julie Andrews and James Garner are great! It is funny, romantic, and sentimental. The DVD is good, too. There are some pictures from the movie, as well as a little documentary of them rehearsing a scene. That part is interesting. This was one of CBS's best specials that everyone should see, and own on DVD!

Signs is an excellent movie that most people commonly misintepret as a grotesque, creepy horror film. When in fact, it is a heart throbbing drama that is all about recovering the faith that you abandoned long ago. As signs appear in crop fields around their house, you have to stop and ask yourself, what do you believe. Are you the kind of person who sees signs, miracles. Or do people just get lucky. Or put it this way, is it possible there are no coincidences......That we are not alone

I enjoyed both of these films they are both very suspenseful they have a good suprise at the end but i dont want to give them away. i personally thought that signs was scarier than the ring. any one that likes ghost movies should see the others and people who love aliens should see signs. this is definitally a great DVD combiation.

YES! I can't believe this movie will finally be released on DVD. It's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and one of my favorites. Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon are hilarious and adorable together. This is one movie you must have in your collection.

The plot of this movie is that this guy has a really ... prissy beautiful girlfriend in college (a different one than his) and he sends her a used condom and a picture of him wioth another girl, and it will get to her on Valentines day. after he realizes the error of his ways, he goes on the journey to stalk down the crazy UPS guy to get his package back before she gets it. He joins up with a girl he meets, and it is hilarious and great and has a great great suprise ending. i love it.

reminiscent of the Kenny Roger's hit "The Greatest". Superb acting by young Cameron Finley (Kanin) as he struggles to become a great ball player like his dad. A movie that will surely bring back Little League memories, whether as a player, parent of coach. Great family film for young and old alike.

There are all too few movies around that we can take the kids to. And many of them are tough for adults to sit through. Thankfully, this one is a gem. Ed Asner is charming as always and Patrick Duffy makes a great bad guy. But the kids are the stars of this story of a young boy who just wants to be one of the team. Don't miss this one. It'll make a great addtion to the kids' video library.

When a movie hits this many chords it is a must see - humorous, thrilling, touching.

A valentine to NYC - this man in search of himself is thrilling, funny, and touching. I love it!!!!

This is the first season in a long while that has played on what made this series popular, a combination of wit, morality, and some good fight scenes. This show overall has proven to im sure many fans that it is worth watching again, especially after some lesser previous seasons (mainly Wild Force and its 2 possibly gay rangers). With the picturesque location of wonderful New Zealand and the larger budget, this show has been able to go where others have not, especially with their stunts, displaying the 5 (so far) rangers Ninja abilities to fly, walk on water, throw water, etc.) its makes this show and this dvd worth watching over and over. I personally like how this displays 2 ADOPTED (not step as earlier mentioned) brothers and how it shows that blood does not matter, defying the cliche.

While a different introduction through us all out of loop with the first episode only featuring three rangers instead of five that all gets settled. The Crimson and Navy Thunder rangers have arrived, but they're not here to play nice. Two step brothers out for revenge against the rangers mentor for the demise of their step parents. I'm glad they introduced the Thunder rangers early in the series because they saved the show in my opinion. The first three episodes of the series worried me. They were just to different from the other series. Blake(Navy Thunder Ranger) takes a liking to the Blue Ranger which is interesting. The whole love interest is kind of a new approach. Sure there has been feelings between two space rangers and two time force rangers, but that was more adult like. This new fling is between two kids still attending school and have mediocre jobs. There hasn't been anything like that sense Mighty Morphin. As for Hunter (Crimson Thunder Ranger) seems to be the more hard core of the two nothing imparticular comes up about him. With the three original Ninja Storm Rangers incapable of defeating these two rangers the plot of the show draws fans in more.

Viewed this just yesterday and I have to have it for myself on DVD. This is "Internal Affairs" & "The Corruptor" combined, but taken to another level--this movie (as unethical, debased, avaricious, secular, materialistic, brutal and downright sinister as it is) was entertaining, gripping, powerful, fast-paced, bold, funny and educational. Educational from a criminal or subjective point of view. The main character did lots of foolish and crazy things, but you may also come to realize he was pretty intelligent, nimble and brazen. Not a movie to be viewed by kids, but great adult action and entertainment. Mario van Peebles gave a superb performance...and he's not at all one of my favorite actors. If not for the wayward, perverse and twisted nature of this movie, you would have heard more about this one.

Up until the end of this turbo-feuled film I was wondering who was going to make it, who was going to get whom!?! The story of a bad cop with little time left and what he finds he is capable of made me wonder to what lengths a human being will go to validate his life choices before dying. Mario Van Peebles gives his best performance since New Jack City in this intense triangle tale of a man, his ex-partner and his beautiful girlfriend (a stunning and revealing Nicolette Sheridan)and survival of the fittest. A must see (especially since Sheridan has a lot to show off... fast forward to the love scene!).

Sagwa is a wnderful show for young children, or for anyone for that matter! Sagwa goes on fun adventures and many times will run into trouble. It's up to her ask for advice and do the right thing. Sagwa learns many lessons and your children will too by watching her. Sagwa teaches kids to be thoughtful, creative, and kind. In the process children will learn about Chinese culture, traditions, and holidays. I recommend Sagwa to any family!

Sagwa's name fits her just right. Well if you don't have a cat that's adventurious and getting into trouble unintentially no one either kids or adults could learn from her mistakes.Both adults and kids can benefit from Sagwa; especially learning about the Chinese culture as well as learning from her mistakes and be kind and courteous towards each other. Some adults I think need to be double-dosed with Sagwa after all we are the adults of the world and are role models for the children of the world (Monkey see, monkey do). I have been saying for years now that Americans in general can learn from the Japanese about being humble. I've travaled through the Far East and learned alot. The most humble and courteous are both the Chinese and Japanese; especially the Japanese. The Japanese see most Americans as rude, crude and loud. Guess where these Americans get these bad habits from? It starts in the home with Mom and Dad. We as Americans need to turn ourselves around when it comes to this subject after all we are the international police of the world; we should act like it with first being humble. Let's start on the right foot and raise are children right and if you need any video aids; get Sagwa. Your not just raising your kids right, but also showing them what the world has to offer in different cultures and hope to God, we as a nation, get rid of racism.

As usual, A&E did a splendid job transfering the series onto DVDs, the color is vibrant and the image is very sharp, flesh tone is excellent. Readers should read other reviews on the story line. As in all TV series made in this period, it is very obvious (due to the great transfer) to the viewer when the shots are taken in indoor studio, however, this does not take away from the story line. The extras are minimal. Currently, I have several box sets of 60s and 70s British TV series put out by A&E and I am extremely happy with the transfer.

Roger Moore was the ideal choice to play "The Saint", when the character came to British television in the early 60's. Besides being the proper age, and having an athletic physique, Moore possessed class, charm and a dry witty sense of humor. Even more importantly, he brought an air of irreverence and swagger that are essential to the role of "Simon Templar", AKA "The Saint".

"The Saint" was a man with a notorious and mysterious past, who quite often found himself in the middle of adventure and intrigue. Author Leslie Charteris created "The Saint", and when the TV series started, had been writing "Saint" adventures for over thirty years. "Simon Templar", the "Robin Hood of Modern Crime", was a man never comfortable with accepting authority. Motivated by his own sense of justice, he had no qualms about taking the law into his own hands. His travels took him many places, including the Europe, Latin America, Africa as well as his native Great Britain.

"The Saint" TV program began airing in black and white in 1962. From the start, Charteris's original stories were the primary source material for the television episodes. Over time as these stories were used up, the program featured more stories written by others. That is where the Megaset begins. It contains the 47 color episodes produced from 1966 through the end of the series in 1969. "The Saint" is man who can get involved in adventure in a myriad of ways, and there is great diversity in these episodes.

The set may show the series at its best and worst. Though the good far outweighs the bad. Roger Moore is clearly in his prime, comfortable and in synch with the role. In a few of the later episodes however, his ability to maintain the integrity of the character, is severely tested by some ill-conceived scripts. Still, Moore forges on, and carries the series magnificently. It is difficult to resist such a dashing and engaging fellow. Please see my reviews of the individual "Saint" boxed sets, for further commentary on specific episodes.

The transfers to DVD are excellent, with colors that are true to the original. Extras are not significant. The Megaset is a major bargain compared to buying the individual sets separately. If you are fan of this classic series, and want to follow its evolution to its conclusion, the Megaset is the way to go.

I thought it was good. Story was really cute. Thumbs up for a family movie.

I taped this film when it made it's first appearance on the Hallmark Channel last year complete with many commercials. Now it is coming out on DVD and can be watched without the annoying breaks.

"Santa, Jr" is a light weight, fun holiday treat that the whole family can enjoy. It is not so sweet that it would send adults into a diabetic coma. Basically is is the story of Santa's 20 something son who really does not want to become part of the family business. He has assigned the west coast for deliveries as a test case. Not sure he can make all the house calls in one night Kris begins a few days early. He is mistaken for the Santa Claus bandit and is placed under house arrest in the home of his public defender female lawyer. With a bracelet that will set off alarms in police headquarters if he leaves the house, it looks like the gifts will never reach the children.

He keeps trying to call the North Pole for help, but gets the recorded message that his call will be answered in the order it was received and there are 40 or 50 minute waits.

How Santa, Jr. finally gets the Christmas spirit, captures the Santa Claus bandit and squares things with the police make this a really enjoyable film.

It is the kind of film that calls for a relaxing time in front of the TV with the family, a big bowl of popcorn, cookies and egg nog.
