I love this movie. I remember watching it many years ago and loved it then. So, when they came out with the final cut, I immediately went out and got it. To be honest, it was so long ago when I last saw it that I could only tell minor changes. But apparently, some people didn't think too much of this version. Me personally, I thought it was great. Very clear, digitally remastered and visually stunning. This is a very artistic film. I highly recommend it! Also, if you like visually artistic films like this you may want to check out The Fountain and Dark City, two very unique films.
What's great about it: Very artistic.
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

This was a fantastic film! My wife and I loved it! They did a great job with the character depth and giving you a taste of human vs. human, not just human vs. monster. This film will tug at your emotions, and it's suppose to. Many people said there wasn't enough of the creatures in the film, that's only part of the story. It also shows how different kinds of people react in a time of crisis, not only towards others but themselves. This film will have you scared, angry, sad, cheering, back to angry, back to sad. I love it! By the end of the film, you're emotions have been kicked around like a small dog, you won't know how to feel. A definite must own, you'll want to see it more than once. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: The storyline and character depth, great ending!
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

This is probably one of the greatest action sets of all time! All of the films are digitally remastered in widescreen, and for a great price too! What else do you want me to say, it's Dirty Harry!!! This is Clint Eastwood at his best! Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of his and he's still pumping out great movies (acting and directing.) But, this is what he will always be remembered for. Buy it! I highly recommend it!

This is a fantastic horror movie. Stephen King is back! I say that because after Kingdom Hospital, I was scared that maybe his best days were behind him. (If you haven't seen Kingdom Hospital, it's the most boring, drawn out, waste of 10 hours! It's not scary at all! In fact, it's more like a really confusing comedy. It's a horror version of Scrubs.) But, after 1408 and The Mist, I'm confident in The King once again. In fact, this reminds me of the Stephen King of old, before all of the made-for-TV mini series movies. This is an amazing suspenseful thriller, and John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson were terrific. My wife and I loved this film! I highly recommend it! And if you haven't seen The Mist by now, you should. The King is back!!!
What's great about it: Stephen King at his best!

![Stephen King Presents Kingdom Hospital: The Entire Series [4 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Mysterious supernatural occurrences plague a labyrinthine hospital in Columbia TriStar's release of horror icon Stephen King's made-for-television adaptation of Lars von Trier's The Kingdom. Kingdom Hospital is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and features audio rendered in closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1. When you're finished being spooked by the horrific hospital, check out a commentary track by King and the filmmakers, journey "Inside the Walls" to see the making of the miniseries, hear what the cast has to say about the production in "Patients and Doctors," take a tour of the hospital in "Designing Kingdom Hospital," and read an exclusive essay written by King himself.

This was not at all what I expected. My wife and I watched this and were really confused. The reason why is that, we thought this was a horror, it's NOT. If you're expecting a horror, forget it. If you watch it as a comedy, you'll probably like it better. There's a lot of singing and dancing randomly, that doesn't make sense. The plot skips around too much, and every time you think you're going to finally see a scary scene, something funny will happen. To be honest, my wife and I are huge Stephen King fans. We have most of his films and books, can't get enough. But I don't know what happened here. Plus, it's way too long! This could've been cut down to a 3 hour mini series. It just seems like it drags on and on and on... It's not the kind of series, where you get all into it, and want to put in one episode after another. We would watch a couple and get bored, and put in something else. As much as it hurts me to say no to something by Stephen King, I'm going to have to on this. If you want to see it, wait for it to drop in price to about $10 - $15. Or just buy the first season by itself, and decide if you like it enough to watch the rest, which is like 10 hours!
What's great about it: Stephen King.
What's not so great: Way too long, very slow paced.

This was a great action/ sci-fi movie. It had a great plot, great special effects, and Hayden Christiansen and Samuel L. Jackson were terrific. There's even a cameo by Diane Lane. My only complaint (and the reason I didn't give it five stars), is because of the way it ended. There were a lot of unanswered questions and it was very open ended. By that, I mean there's obviously going to be a sequel. If there isn't, I will be very disappointed! But, it's still a lot of fun to watch. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, the special effects, everything!
What's not so great: Open ended, too many unanswered questions.

I bought this movie for two reasons. First, I'm huge UFC fan, so I got it just to see Randy Couture. And yes, it was cool to see him in an action movie. And no, his not a good actor. Second, I liked all the other films in the Mummy series, including The Scorpion King. This one does't compare, at all! The special effects are terrible. This is more like a Sci-Fi flick. One thing I'll give it, they did a good job picking a guy to look like the Rock, too bad he's not a good actor. In fact, the acting all around was terrible. There are a few good fight scenes though, that's about it. So, if you liked the other Mummy films and you're wanting to see it for Randy Couture (as I was), then I recommend watching it, once. By that I mean rent it, don't buy it! Or just wait for it to come on the Sci-Fi Channel.
What's great about it: Randy Couture, (he give's it an extra star.)
What's not so great: The acting and special effects were horrible.

Director Clive Barker brings terror to the screen with Lord Of Illusions, an adaptation of one of his most popular stories. Starring Scott Bakula and Famke Janssen, Lord of Illusions features a very nice 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. With colors and black levels even and bright, MGM has done a fantastic job on this horror release for fans of the film. Only a small amount of edge enhancement is spotted, though it is very limited and should not interfere with the enjoyment of the film. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and uses a wide range of directional effects (mostly during the last half of the film). All aspects of this track, including dialogue, effects, and music, are well mixed and even. Also included on this disc are English and French subtitles. Lord of Illusions offers up more than the usual array of extra features for an MGM horror movie, including an insightful and fun commentary track by director/writer/co-producer Clive Barker. Also included on this disc are some deleted scenes from the film that should thrill fans, an isolated audio track of composer Simon Boswell's creepy music score, some notes on the making of the movie, as well as an original anamorphic widescreen theatrical trailer for Lord Of Illusions. Taken as a whole, this disc should provide viewers with hours of terrifying entertainment.

This is a fantastic horror/ psychological thriller. My wife and I love this movie! Written for the screen and directed by Clive Barker. First of all, I'm a huge Clive Barker fan, from his books, to his films, to his art work, love it all. And if you're a fan of HeIIraiser, Nightbreed, Candyman or his latest Midnight Meat Train, you'll love this movie. It's about the darker side of magic. The difference between being a real magician and being an illusionist. (Some people don't know there's a difference.) Great plot with a great cast, and great special effects. All around a great movie, keeps you thinking. I highly recommend it! Also, if you're a Clive Barker fan like myself, there are two movies in the Masters of Horror collection based off of two of his short stories, Valerie on the Stairs and Haeckel's Tale. Both are very good!
What's great about it: Clive Barker!
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

I was looking forward to this film, because as a kid I collected comics. My favorite villian was Venom. So, when this came out, my wife and I went to see it in the theater. Terrible! If you're a fan of the comics DON'T watch it! In fact, I'm going to spoil it for you, and I rarely do this. They did good at the beginning, showing the history of the suit. They got the wrong guy to play Venom though, and just when it gets good they kill off Venom. What the h*ll!!! In the comics, Venom is one of Spiderman's long time enemies, and they only give him like 20 minutes in the movie! That killed it for me. Even my wife, who doesn't know that much about comics, was disappointed. Not to mention, they picked a terrible actor to play Sandman. The casting all around was terrible. The movie builds up too much towards the end, then just stops! Bad ending! Not to mention the fact that Toby Macguire cries through the whole movie, he plays a wuss in this one! This was just a horrible movie! The first two were decent, but this one's the worst, by far, they really screwed up! I do NOT recommend this film! The only reason I didn't give it one star is because the special effects were good, that's all this film has going for it.
What's great about it: The special effects!
What's not so great: Everything else.

![Reign of Fire [DVD] [2002]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/84e31eb7-a68f-4036-9971-bee34432e231.jpg)
Rob Bowman's futuristic dragon film Reign of Fire comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1, and a French soundtrack recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and both English soundtracks are closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include an interview with the director, the original theatrical trailer, and a pair of featurettes concerning the technical aspects of special effects and their production. This is a solid release from Disney/Buena Vista.

This is a fantastic film, my wife and I love it! Christian Bale was great, as usual, and Matthew McConaughey, playing a role like you've never seen. This is like a real life fantasy come true. Great plot and great special effects, all around exciting and fun to watch. Buy it! You'll want to watch it more than once. I highly recommend it! Also, if you like this you may want to check out Beowolf, Godzilla (1998), and Cloverfield. (I assume everyone at this point has seen Dragonheart, and Dungeons and Dragons was a let down, unless you're 12 yrs. old.)
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, everything!
What's not so great: Not long enough, I wanted more!
I would recommend this to a friend!
