Morecambe and Ernie Wise: The Intelligence Men

Morecambe & Wise did the smart thing in devoting
the majority of their career to television sketch
show. Their comedy was most potent in small doses.
 The Intelligence Men is an obvious but likeable
parody of the early Bond films and sets the
pattern for all three films: Eric and Ernie as two
well-meaning blunderers cast into an unfamiliar
milieu (in this case, international espionage) and
forced to survive armed with little more than a
repertoire of wince-inducing puns.  That Riviera
Touch is an obvious but likeable parody of the
heist genre. Again, Eric and Ernie are cast as
hapless ingénues, in this case a pair of traffic
wardens whose holiday in France intersects with
the plottings of a gang of jewel thieves. If
anything, it's even more contrived than that
sounds, but the scenes in which Eric cleans out
the casino by accident are wonderfully
understated, and a reminder of a peerless comic
actor.  The Magnificent Two, the final and by some
distance the least funny of the three, is an
updated though rather laboured subversion of the
Spaghetti Western, relying rather too much on the
notion that anything and everything to do with
foreigners is inherently hilarious.  On the DVD:
The Morecambe & Wise Collection has English
subtitles for all three discs and all include the
original cinematic trailer. That Riviera Touch is
presented in 4:3 format, the remaining two in
16:9. As special features go, these are annoyingly
desultory for a release that will certainly only
be purchased by die-hard fans. It wouldn't have
killed the producers to commission some liner
notes at the very least.--Andrew Mueller

The Different Faces of War!
Review of Windtalkers / Hart's War / Platoon (The Essential War Collection) by Scotsmanmatt

Advantages: Excellent for War Fans!
Disadvantages: None

...Over six hours of movie and movie features! Tom Berenger, William Dafoe, Charlie Sheen, Kevin Dillon, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell, Nicholas Cage and Christian Slater! Vietnam, POW's camps and Codeworkers! That is who and what you'll be watching if you purchase Metro Goldwyn Mayers Triple DVD Essential War Collection! What's more if you are as fortunate as I was you'll pick it up for the low price of £12.99 [Blockbuster]! The collection contains three war films, Platoon, Hart's War and Windtalkers. It comes neatly packaged in it's own cover box with the discs protected inside in a flip case that is easily removed out of the side of the box. As you can see from the product picture the front cover is visually appealing, giving the names of the movies and, alongside, three picture scenes of main characters... Read review

Great film
Review of Predator / Predator 2 (Special Edition Box Set) by umbrellaface991

Advantages: all of it!
Disadvantages: not much

...This boxset contains the 2 disc special edition versions of both films in their individual cases, in a very nice box sleeve(4 discs in total). The first Predator movie is an action classic, with it's then pioneering in-your-face, first-person action sequences, setting a standard for action movies of the late 80's. This is also one of Arnie's best movies after the Terminator films(bar number 3), with some great "dialogue" between Arnie's character Dutch and Dillon, played by Carl Weathers - not forgetting Arnie's one-liners like "knock, knock" and "stick around". The DVD itself is faultless, with a direct digital transfer from the original negatives and 5.1 and DTS sound options. Features wise, on the first disc you have an audio commentary from the director, and on the second disc there's a great collection of behind the scenes... Read review

Advantages: Dario argento movie
Disadvantages: Giallo

...for me argento is the best horror director i have all the movies of him because oyou can not find the atmosphere of his films in another movie .when we look at the boexed set included movies : the bird with a christal plummage is one of the best movies of the director, 'The Cat O'Nine Tails' and 'Phenomena'. these are also perfect movies of the director this boxed set is awesome for the fans the genre: GİALLO i am strongly recommend you guys this set. it has a well chosen movies inside it .'The Cat O'Nine Tails' : is a murder mystery thriller that strays far closer to classic Hitchcock and Agatha Christie than to Argento's own later works which focused heavily on extreme violence and/or the supernatural.Phenomena: is based on supernatural powers of a girl....
