An obvious homage to Hitchcock
on February 12, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Liam Neeson makes a great action hero; production design and cinematography are excellent, and there is more than enough suspense and action to keep viewers engaged - plenty entertaining despite a lackluster ending

This high flying release from the classic 60's TV series Batmantarring Adam West includes all 120 episodes of the show, following the titular hero through many exciting, sometimes psychedelic and always tongue-in-cheek adventures battling the likes of Catwoman, the Penguin, and the Joker.

The most fun Batman finally on disc
on February 12, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great memories from my childhood; between the wonderfully silly show, the quality of the presentation and the excellent extras that actually have been included, this set is one all Batman fans will want to own. Also Warner is replacing the defective discs by February end - If you haven't already registered - http://www.shipment-service.com/batman66

Classic covers of timeless jazz history

Verified Purchase:Yes
Annie Lennox interpretations of these songs is amazing. Her voice is perfection. The jazz covers she has chosen make a wonderful arrangement. Her voice has aged to perfection and truly shines on every last song on "Nostalgia". Gorgeous!

The seventh and final season of the adaptation of Charlaine Harris' Southern vampire novels begins with a vampire-human mixer at Bellefleur's, née Merlotte's, in full swing, but a gruesome attack by a band of Hep V-infected bloodsuckers throws Bon Temps into chaos and prompts a wave of spiteful finger-pointing at one of its most well-known residents--Sookie (Anna Paquin). Meanwhile, Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) tries to convince Andy (Chris Bauer) she's desperate to atone for her past mistakes; Bill (Stephen Moyer) recalls his pre-Civil War life; Jason (Ryan Kwanten) has an awkward reunion with an old friend; Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) helps Lettie Mae (Adina Porter) resolve her tumultuous relationship with Tara (Rutine Wesley); and Pam (Kristin Bauer Van Straten) searches the globe for Eric (Alexander Skarsgård)--assuming he's still alive!

Been done before, and better
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Mikaln
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Roger Moore was too old for the part; Tanya Roberts was miscast; Christopher Walken was underutilized as the villain and Grace Jones' talent was wasted; Roger Moore's swan song in the role of Bond
My Best Buy number: 0207830035
My Best Buy number: 0207830035
What's great about it: Grace Jones steals the film, everything but the camera
What's not so great: Moore had gotten too old for the role of Bond

As an action movie this one is alright
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Mikaln
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are some solid action scenes and the opening sets the movie up very effectively. The problem with the film lies with the villain, Elliot Carver. In the past, Bond was taking on larger than life bad guys, those who dwelled inside volcanoes or operated off of secret islands. Here, Bond is going head to head with a media mogul – it just isn't the same. Sure, Carver has a nuke and he's definitely off his rocker enough to pose a threat, but still... he's a glorified businessman. When media personalities like Rupert Murdoch are household names, this takes some of the charm out of the film, it's almost that it's too grounded in reality.

Weakest Brosnan Bond; to be avoided at all costs
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Mikaln
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Die Another Day is high-tech, glossy junk -- no ifs, ands, or buts. Brosnan was a weak, ineffectual pretty-boy Bond who devalued the Bondian myth, and his petulant reign as 007 has thankfully come to an end.

What's great about it: Halle Berry saves the film from mediocrity; Toby Stephens good villain
What's not so great: Ridiculous mixture of laughable CGI special effects and one internally dead scene after another

Great change of pace from the preceding films
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Mikaln
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
With back-to-basics action sequences and a Bond girl who's a lot tougher than usual, For Your Eyes Only is a great change of pace from the overwhelming spectacle of the preceding films and one which helps set the slightly darker, more immediate tone of the Eighties Bonds.

What's great about it: James Bond needed to be brought back down to Earth
What's not so great: scaled-down (well, scaled-down for Bond film)

Interesting and entertaining entry to the series
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Mikaln
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
The story jumps around a bit and doesn't really flesh out the supporting characters as well as previous efforts in the franchise had. Orlov could have and should have been a great Bond villain, instead he's only mediocre. The same can be said of Moore's performance here, as he's been better in other Bond movies and seems to kind of be going through the motions with this film. The girls look good, and Octopussy is quite a memorable character, but too much of the film is set in India where not a whole lot that is important to the central plot actually happens and this results in what feels like some padding even if they are very pretty to look at.
