Full review

Acoording to Internet Movie Database: "Stalker is rich, spiritual and contemplative journey through the fantastic inner world of human's hope, desire, disillusions and believes. Main characters, Writer (as incarnation of irrational, imaginative and emotional aspects of our nature or subconsciousness) and Scientist (rational, logic forces or consciousness) are guided by Stalker (symbolizing our desire, will and everlasting search of meaning) to the mysterious Zone (which may represent all our spiritual goals, meanings, struggles to achieve them and barriers in our path). Breathtaking and mesmerizing images and sounds, witty dialog and strong concept are the major virtues of this feature. Writer's monologues are among the most meaningful, thought-provoking and spiritual moments I ever experienced in any art. But the movie is overlong losing its powerful initial momentum and becoming inconsistent in it's final message (by final I don't mean last in chronology but overall). Tarkovsky's earlier SF drama "Solaris" is more structured and fully developed. Nevertheless, Stalker is an outstanding piece of art movie that puts its director among the few true cinema masters. "

A masterpiece of Russian cinema.

Stalker: Sci-Fi gone cerebral...
Review of Stalker (DVD) by Pleasureman

Advantages: Wonderful landscape and premise
Disadvantages: some people (emphasis on some) may find it too cerebral and not action-orientated enough for them

...the two men want the Stalker to lead them to this room, so that they may get whatever they want - although in the film this is explored further with the difference between what one wants, and what one thinks is wanted investigated. the film follows the men as the Stalker guides them through the Zone's pschological and physical traps - it has an awareness, the Stalker's view being that it "only lets the most wretched people through". The Stalker ...
...doesn't flow as seamlessly from one part to another as I would have liked, which can spoil the moment a little. However, even with these little annoyances, in my opinion Stalker is the greatest film ever made. Certificate: PG Price: My "Artificial Eye" version was £24 from Amazon ... Read review

...odyssey of three men ' Stalker ' , writer and scientist , who journey out into the desolate forbidden zone in search of a room, where supposedly ones prayers are answered.

Of note also is the excellent soundtrack music by ' Eduard Artemiev ' Excellent DVD transfer with ... Read review

Kolchak - The Night Stalker TV series
Review of Kolchak: The Night Stalker - The Complete Series (Box Set) (DVD) by  BigCS

Advantages: Thrills, Chills and Laughs all the way!
Disadvantages: no extras, and sadly no subtitles for those who need them

...of the series proved! My only tiny complaint is that there are no extras on the discs, but just having the full series is bonus enough as some of them had never been shown on UK television. There is a bit more.... the series was actually made on the back of 2 of the most sucessful TV movies ever made - The Night Stalker, and sequel the Night Strangler. If you can track those down on DVD as well, you're in for a treat. Oh yes, there is a mistake in the Amazon listing - it says 3 discs... it's not, there are 5 discs with 4 episodes per disc, making it better value than it would appear.... Read review

Ivan's Child abuse...
Review of Ivan's Childhood (DVD) by  Pleasureman

Advantages: A Tarkovsky Film
Disadvantages: (For Some) Requires an element of thought - not a fast-car-chase action film!

...and who would perhaps find films like "Stalker" (my favourite film - I've written a review of it on here if anyone is a Tarkovsky fan) a little too philosophical and slow-moving. I am reviewing the video version, so the clarity and colour are possibly not as crisp as the DVD version. Having said this, on my Artificial Eye "Stalker" DVD the age of the film and the methods used for transfer result in a small amount of what I call 'wobbling' in the shots (when if one looks carefully certain parts of the landscape are seen to move very slightly as if they were an overlay rather than part of the shot), so the DVD format is not infallible. There was a small amount of this on this film too, but I reiterate only if you look carefully. In my opinion it can only lend force to the atmosphere of deprivation and tension in the military entrenchments... Read review

The League of Gentlemen Live at Drury Lane
Review of The League Of Gentlemen - Series 1 (DVD) by  gorvifal3

Advantages: An excellent piece of live comedy, the live show is much better than the TV series
Disadvantages: The dark humour might not appeal to all tastes

...about job centre battle axe Pauline who has a love of pens and a loathing of the unemployed. The extras on the DVD include a few sketches taken from other live shows at different venues, a screen saver and a phone call recording called BIG WOMAN! The phone call involves listening to sinister answer phone messages left by someone who you think is probably a stalker with a penchant for large ladies. At the end of the series of answer phone messages the stalker finds out that what he thinks is a big woman is actually a big man (YOU?RE A REAL GOOD KID!). I found the DVD to be quite a good way to entertain friends who had never seen the show on television before, everyone I showed it to seemed to find it hysterically funny (especially Herr Lipp). You don?t really need to have seen the TV show to get the jokes on the DVD. Personally I... Read review

DVD Description

With STALKER, Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky returns to the mind-bending, philosophy-tinged science fiction of SOLARIS. The setting is an unnamed country in an unforeseen postapocalyptic future. A meteorite has landed, and its impact has created a mysterious phenomenon known as the Zone, within which resides a sinister room said to grant humanity's deepest desires. Only Stalkers are able to enter the Zone, bringing intrepid citizens to test their strength and desires against the Zone's enigmatic treacheries. The film follows one such Stalker (Alexander Kaidanovsky) as he attempts to bring two characters known as Writer (Anatoli Solonitsyn) and Scientist (Nikolai Grinko) into the Zone. The hapless trio makes a difficult and mud-drenched journey, dodging military guards and invisible traps and enduring extreme psychological strain. While Tarkovsky avoids any direct political reading of STALKER, the film's allegorical structure presents a powerful and disturbing metaphor for humanity's loss of and subsequent quest for faith. The Stalker's struggle to rescue himself and his family while guiding those more wretched than himself creates a physical and metaphysical drama that leaves the viewer breathless. Blending visual, narrative, and cinematic conventions to portray the fractured logic of the Zone, Tarkovsky conjures a universe of despair and desire in which science, rationalism, and technology must face off against love, humanism, and faith.

Professional reviews

Review: "...A preternaturally vivid style rendered Dosteyevskyan by monochrome photography whose raspingly harsh textures suggest some grainy newsreel footage of the future..." (Sight and Sound, p.63-4, 01/12/1980)
