If you liked season 1 you will enjoy 2

The Musketeers Season 2 (BBC) is a continuation of what occurred in the first season. The characters and plot s are based on Dumas' book, but freely adapted for a more modern audience.
I have no problem with this, but if you are a stickler for following the book you may have a problem. But then you should have had a problem with ALL movies and shows made from it, including the movies with Oliver Reed and Michael York. All take some liberties. Personally, I eagerly await Season 3.

Easily One Of The Worst Movies Ever
on March 4, 2015
Posted by: Mickthemadde

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this only because my son wanted it. I would NEVER have bought it otherwise. It is easily one of the most inane ridiculous and rotten movies ever made. And this is from someone who LOVES bad movies. This is unwatchable. I know there are people who love this movie (my son likes it) but I am not one of them.
I gave it one star because I hate to give anything NO stars...but this came close.

AS Good As The Original
on December 7, 2014
Posted by: Mickthemadde

Verified Purchase:Yes
It is not necessary to sing the praises of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Anyone who enjoyed that one should be pleased by the 1978 re-make. On the whole I rarely find a re-make to be near as good as the original, and usually they are unbelievably bad. This is the exception!
With a good cast (Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams) and biting social commentary (Leonard Nimoy plays a '70's style self-help guru in a hilarious turn, but played perfectly straight) this works as a semi-comedy, a social tongue-in-cheek social satire AND as a good old fashioned sci-fi/horror movie.
Kevin McCarthy (who starred in the original) has a cameo as basically the same character 20 years on trying to warn of the invasion. Don Siegel (director of the original) also has a cameo as a cab driver.
While it does lose some of its momentum towards the end, the ending is still one that fans talk about today. If they remember nothing else, they remember that. Definitely worth seeing. PARTICULARLY if you find it in a remainder bin or on sale as I did.

Classic Mr. Peabody Episodes
on December 7, 2014
Posted by: Mickthemadde
from Ohio
Verified Purchase:Yes
Anyone who grew up with "Rocky and Bullwinkle" will well remember the Mr. Peabody episodes that were part of the show. They had wit and fun and are well known for their horrible puns! That is part of the charm. They are still fun!
However...any who have grown up on the CGI animation of Disney and DreamWorks will find these amateurish and cartoony...which they are in comparison and that is still part of their charm. Being 50 years old they also have the flaws of reproduction of most TV shows from that age.
That said, it is still a joy to have all 91 episodes available. I would also suggest looking at the complete "Fractured Fairytales" collection, also from Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Fun movie for the whole family
on October 5, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Princess Diaries is a fun movie and it is great to see Anne Hathaway at an earlier stage of her career. This is the movie that brought her to my attention over 10 years ago. She is perfect as the awkward ugly duckling who becomes a swan. Julie Andrews is always a delight, although she has very little acting to do in this picture. This set includes Blu-ray and DVD, and The Princess Diaries 2, which I have yet to watch. This was on sale for $14.99 and was a good buy at that price. Enjoy!

Good Blu-ray transfer of a fun film

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is for the Blu-ray 40th anniversary edition. The copy is as near pristine as we are ever likely to get. For those unfamiliar with the movie, Nobody (Terrence Hill) does everything possible to make sure his hero of a gunfighter (Henry Fonda) goes out in a blaze of glory. Fonda on the other hand merely wants to retire alive. This underrated Western spoof was produced by Sergio Leone as stands up well as a comedy or a spaghetti western. The Blu-ray is even cleaner than the DVD put out previously (taking into account, of course the age of the material) and looks great! Strangely the title sequence titles (not the dialogue) is in the original Italian, while the DVD was in English. A fun movie all around. Nobody's story of the little bird is not to be missed. If Italian westerns and comedy are not your thing, then skip it, but if you enjoy this type of movie and want to see Fonda turn in a great restrained performance do not miss it.

The show really hit its stride in this season.

By the third season Enterprise really started to click. I will admit that like most viewers I had stopped watching the show somewhere in Season 2. My mistake! I finally caught up on the show when a friend made me watch it on DVD. I was hooked, and realized that I had bailed way too soon. Unfortunately the series only ran 4 seasons, but it is great to see how good it looks on Blu-ray. There are more extras than on the DVDs (they are included too), but the real reason to get this on Blu-ray is because it looks fantastic.
