Great stories, wonderful picture

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Blu-ray transfer of this show is simply stunning in quality, especially noticeable since I was replacing old VHS copies. The cast is excellent, with Scott Bakula outstanding in sharing his joy and curiosity as the starship Enterprise undertakes its first missions. Stories are good, if sometimes low-key, and there are masses of extras on each disc, including deleted scenes.

"Brave" is another Disney triumph - a great story, with compelling characters and lovely animation that's even better in 3D. Not quite as good as "Tangled" - but what is?

The first film's a classic - the others less so
on January 20, 2013
Posted by: JohnRon

Verified Purchase:Yes
"The Santa Clause" has become a holiday classic - we watch it to get us in the spirit at the start of the season. It's clever, funny and brilliantly acted and realized. The second film is still good - though less so - but the third is pretty dreadful.
What's great about it: Clever idea beautifully realized
What's not so great: Gets progressively less entertaining

Classic story that's great fun
on October 13, 2012

The final Hartnell serial to be released on DVD is a wild adventure romp. Shrunk down to an inch tall, the travelers have to face the perils of an average household to get home again. The reconstructed "missing" episode is a special treat.
What's great about it: Beautifully written and acted
What's not so great: The odd shaky special effect
I would recommend this to a friend!

Despite the title, this is not the greatest show in any galaxy - it's just a drawn-out meander filled with thin characters and a horribly embarrassing performance from Sylvester McCoy. It's main draw is that it's the last McCoy to be issued on DVD.
What's great about it: Produced under difficult circumstances
What's not so great: A thin plot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is probably one of the least interesting Dalek stories, but even so it has some great moments - the Daleks creating new weapons when their usual ray guns don't work; the alien city with its metallic roots.
What's great about it: The Daleks
What's not so great: A feeling that we've seen it all before

"The Krotons" gives us Patrick Troughton at his zany best, with lots of humor, plenty of mystery and good guests. The Krotons themselves are terrible to look at - really silly and cheap.
What's great about it: Fun story with good acting
What's not so great: Probably the worst-designed monsters ever

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper - enough said!
on August 2, 2012
Posted by: JohnRon
from Suffolk County, NY
The first film matching of the obvious - Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. It would be done again in "Murder By Decree" almost as well, but this version has excellent acting - John Neville is a wonderful Holmes, and Anthony Quayle is always enjoyable - oddly enjoyable jazz scoring and a terrific pace. Sadly, there are no extras, and the "horror" makeup is so bad the actress has to hold it in place at the end of the film!
What's great about it: Exciting and well-paced.
What's not so great: Bad makeup effects.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not quite as smart as it tries to be
on July 2, 2012
Posted by: JohnRon
from Suffolk County, NY
The first season of "Sherlock" was interesting and innovative, updating the format from Victorian to modern London. The second season is more of the same, which is the problem. It is simply more of the same. The same jokes, the same problems, and the writing isn't as smart as it thinks it is. If you've seen season one, there's nothing new here.
What's great about it: Updating Sherlock Holmes for the modern age
What's not so great: The mysteries aren't so mysterious
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
