4 comments about The Vatican Museums.

1. I bought the DVD of "The Vatican Museums" as preparation to my visit there. I thought that I will learn from it, and be able to make a tour by myself without connection to a group and a guide. After my visit the DVD will remained me of all the things that I saw there.
   
   The DVD is above all expectations. It show everything, and even details, and the explanation is excellent. Even people who doesn't familiar with all the history facts can learn and have a profound understanding of the Vatican and the people who contribute to its glory.
   
   Although English is not my native tongue I could understand everything.
   
   I recommend it to everybody, those who wants to visit the Vatican, or to be reminding of their visit, or those who want to learn and know what it's all about.



2. i learned a great deal more in this dvd than when i visited the museums.



3. Though infinitely sharper than the offerings by KULTUR, what happened to the color? Narration is wonderful, subject matter is glorious. Everthing about this release should be screaming five stars EXCEPT I felt I was looking at the marvels of the Vatican through a gauze curtain. WHERE IS THE BLESSED COLOR?

   "The birth of the Vatican Museums is usually dated to the accession of Julius II to the Papal throne, though as private treasures of a prince, this first Vatican collection was rather different in nature."
   
   The above are the printed words that begins this impressive set of DVDs that together have one purpose: to allow the viewer to see what's inside one of the world's most spectacular museums by taking him/her on a tour of each museum's highlights.
   
   This documentary surveys the Vatican's artistic treasures through stunning location footage (and even archival footage!) with narration (accompanied by beautiful background music throughout that has the translated lyrics of Michelangelo).
   
   The viewer feels as if he/she is walking through each museum's halls or flying over the outside buildings. The key point here is that the camera is always moving thus avoiding the static and boring feel of just looking at works of art that are just sitting there.
   
   The narrator explains, amongst other things, the history of the artworks, how they came to be in a particular museum, and information is even given about the construction of each museum.
   
   The variety of what's presented was, at least for me, overwhelming. The viewer will see and hear about such things as furniture, tapestries, costumes, and armour, as well as sculptures, busts, statues, paintings, portraits, mosaics, friezes, frescoes, artifacts, and much more.
   
   The interior photography of buildings is exquisite and aerial photography that captures the unique architecture of the exterior of buildings is quite impressive.
   
   Note that each disc is not one continuous showing but instead you select a chapter from the main menu, that chapter plays (most chapters are about 25 minutes long), then the disc reverts back to the main menu where you select a different chapter.
   
   To give the potential viewer an idea of the vast amount presented, here are the chapter titles (five chapters per disc):
   
   (1) History of the museums (2) Greek art in the Vatican museums (3) Roman art (4) The Egyptian museum (5) The Etruscan museum (6) The origins of Christian art (7) The Sistine chapter (8) The Raphael rooms and the Loggia (9) The historical museum at St. John Lateran (10) The Ethnological Museum (11) The picture gallery (12) The collection of modern religious art (13) The Apostolic palace (14) Vatican City (15) The Great Basilica
   
   Finally, the DVDs themselves are perfect in picture and sound quality. However, in a few cases the lighting for the photography of some pictures was not optimal.
   
   In conclusion, on the back of the DVD case it states that this documentary was the "culmination of three years research and filming" and involved a "crew of forty directors of photography" with the "collaboration of 32 scholars and historians from around the world." As a person who has viewed this amazing collection, I can attest that all this research, direction, and collaboration has produced a fantastic documentary to be admired!!

1 comments about Dinosaur Valley Girls (Mammoth Edition).

1. This movie is funny as well as borderline erotic. the actresses were all enjoyable to watch as the sexy cavewomen, and the late William Marshall(the original Blacula)was at his best as the scientist/researcher. Dinosaur Valley Girls is one of the most interesting B-movies I have seen in a while.

5 comments about Tim Janis - Beautiful America.

1. Tims music is intresting, pleasing and quite relaxing. The video portion adds life to complete a very pleasant event.



2. Lovely music with a great blend of scenery and shots of the musicians preforming.Be sure to see the bonus music.It is the best part yet!



3. This DVD is often provided as a 'premium' during PBS donation drives. There are 5 National Parks that are highlighted. There is beautiful scenery shown, with a bit of a drawback that there are some of the same scenes repeated in short order. There are lots of scenes of the ensemble playing, perhaps more than of the Parks themselves. The music is very melodic, especially the sole wind instrument player who plays at times very haunting melodies, using flutes and related instruments.
   
   And yes, the smiling Tim Janis on the piano can wear a bit. But all the members of the ensemble seem to really be enjoying their efforts.
   
   In a bit of a surprise, the bonus music section perhaps contains some of the best pictures, especially if you like flower scenes. It perhaps is easy to miss this if you simply put in the DVD and push play.



4. Tim Janis's arrangement style is good but gets tedious as he comes and goes in musical waves so often that but after a while becomes annoying. I enjoy his emotional tone but please add happy and melodic themes. He should include more solo instruments like piano, flute or violin. Also bring more variety in your selections and delivery. There is so much to new age themes!! Remember Mantovani!!!



5. This is a beautiful live presentation of some of the best work of an excellent modern American composer. A cross between classical and Andean styles. Cinnamon Creedon is outstanding on flute and woodpipe. Yes, she was named after "Cinnamon Carter" in the old Mission Impossible series.

5 comments about Reader's Digest - Journey of A Lifetime.

1. This is 3 DVDs in one. The places it takes you, most likely you've already known. But what's unforgettable is that it unfolds the most amazing events about that place right in front of you - the things that made these places truely spetacular. It is about lives, cultures or the true forces and beauty of nature. Each splendidly displayed and then moved on to others. It makes you hungry for more.



2. I have watched over 50 travel videos and this is one of the best. In addition to showing the beautiful scenery of each place they visited, this video also did a very good job of incorporating the local cultures.
   
   Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip around the world, or for someone who just wants to dream about an around the world trip.



3. There's a very personal touch to this DVD. Everything from the narration to the camera angles makes you feel as if you're being escorted by your own personal tour guide on a year-long odyssey.
   
   Don't try to view the whole DVD in one sitting (It's 170 minutes long!) Instead, you might enjoy it more if you divide it up into "seasons", and watch a couple segments each evening. (The DVD is divided in a way to make this easy to do. For example: New Year's Eve in Paris, Christmas in New York, New England in Autumn, etc.)
   
   Take this armchair vacation soon. You're sure to enjoy your travels.



4. My husband and I enjoyed this trip--took you to some out of the way places that so many of these travel DVD's miss. It would be fun to travel like this for 1 year.



5. guess I'm spoiled with the personalization and detail of the Rick Steves and Rudy Maxa travel videos. The scenery was spectacular and the photography wondeful, I expected more.

3 comments about Globe Trekker: Middle East (Double DVD).

1. I've got individual copies of Israel and the Jordan, Syria, Lebanon tape. Generally they are very good. I would have liked to have seen some footage on Amman, Jordan. I am occassionally troubled by the attitude of Justine Shapiro who is the host of the Israel tape. She can come off as sarcastic and condescending to other cultures. Ian Wright, on the other hand has fun with other cultures without putting them down. Overall I'd recommend these DVD's for teachers. I've not seen the DVD in the set with Megan McCormick.



2. The first disc about Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Israel is very poorly done.



3. This is a set of two DVDs containing four programs (about 50 minutes each) from the "Globe Trekker" TV series:
   (1) "Syria, Jordan and Lebanon" with Ian Wright;
   (2) "Israel and Sinai" with Justine Shapiro;
   (3) "The Arab Gulf States" (includes Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman) with Megan McCormick; and
   (4) "Short History of the Middle East," which incorporates numerous clips from other Globe Trekker programs, including the others in this set.
   
   Our youngish British and American guides take us on interesting and informative tours of countries that I for one will probably never visit in person. I enjoyed my armchair travels (and I now have a much better grasp of Middle Eastern geography).
   
   As I'd hoped, the programs include a number of brief segments that I might use in teaching world religions: on the Wailing Wall, Masada, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, a kibbutz, Mount Sinai, the Dead Sea, the Via Dolorosa, Roman ruins in Ephesus, the first Christian monastery (in Egypt, founded by St. Antony), the Dome of the Rock, the Hagia Sophia, and the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in Istanbul. And the "Short History" program includes a one-minute history of the major empires in the Middle East, with a nifty animated map showing their expansion and decline.

5 comments about Europe to the Max with Rudy Maxa.

1. As far as I know of, the two main travel-guide videos are Rick Steves's and Rudy Maxa's. Rick Steves seems to be the more popular of the two since his shows are more frequently shown on the PBS channels (at least in the DC area). But in my opinion, Rudy Maxa's videos are better. First, although both are very informative, Maxa's writing and dialog seems to be better and more eloquently presented...he's almost poetic. His narratives are clear, substantive, and colorful. His portrayals also include splashes of historical facts or cultural trivia that not only make vacation spots more intriguing, they also provide the viewer with a better understanding of the people and their customs. Second, Rudy Maxa's videos seem to be more vibrant and more colorful than Rick Steves's--blues skies are bluer and green pastures are greener. I'm not sure if there is a varying type of filming quality, but for some reason, Rick Steves's DVDs have a dullish hue to them, even when he films under the sunniest conditions. Third, it seems that Rudy Maxa's videos were made with a larger budget than Rick Steves's. From what I can remember, all of Maxa's videos were always filmed on sunny days--displaying vacation spots at their best-conditioned visuals. For some reason, I remember seeing Rick Steves visiting the Swiss Alps in rainy weather--absolutely not optimal for such magnificent panoramic views. Also, Rick Steves filmed Austria's Hallstatt--probably the most scenic Alpine town--in cloudy weather. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Rudy Maxa's videos use "proper" soundtracks to complement his visual displays. If you have ever done theater or film production, you know that the sound is almost just as important as the visual. Maxa's use of classical music or traditional cultural music from the visited country creates an effect that unites your visual and auditory senses and produces a mood that carries you as if you were there. Rick Steves uses some classical music, but more often utilizes...I'm not sure how to describe it, but I'll label it "elevator" or "cheesy" music that when you see and hear it together, you say to yourself "hmmm...something's not right." It's even evident in his opening credits. Again, it seems that Rudy Maxa's budget was higher and his producers seemed to have strived for perfection to showcase vacation spots at their best rather than filming with a limited budget in mind.
   
   If you are planning to travel to Europe, I recommend viewing both Rick Steves's videos and Rudy Maxa's videos--both will provide you with very good information and great ideas of what to do. But, whereas Rick Steve's videos will make you say "That would be a nice to see", Rudy Maxa's will make you exclaim... "I have to go there!"
   
   Regarding this box set, this series and Rudy Maxa's other box set--"Hidden Treasures: Europe to the Max" (which Amazon titles "Rudy Maxa: Europe To the Max - Return Trip")--are sensational. From what I can tell, the shows are exactly the same as his "Smart Travel" series. Each box has 6 DVDs and each DVD contains 4 or 5 "half-hour" shows, plus other extras such as "Rudy's Travel Tips".
   
   This box set has the following DVDs and their descriptions are as follows (I'm copying verbatim from his website):

2. This set has NO closed-captions or subtitles (any languages) AT ALL....so beware if you need them.
   
   Region 0 (all)



3. OK so you can see this on TV. Maybe--maybe not! We used to watch Rudy Maxa Travels on the Equator Channel before Dish Network took the channel, and all other VOOM channels, off their system. We had not seen a lot of the programs so we purchased all the CDs. They are very good and we would purchase again. There are several compaines selling these CDs on Amazon and we always look for "new" or "like new" and check out the shipping cost, plus the rating of the seller. We are most pleased and now can watch travels by Rudy Maxa when there is little or nothing to watch on regular TV. Rudy does a good job we think in his travels when it comes to history and sites worth seeing.



4. I gave my husband this dvd set for Father's Day. He's thoroughly enjoying them. We're going to Germany, Austria and Switzerland in October of 2008 and Spain in May of 2009. There are a lot of tips in these dvds. The dvds cover just about all the places we'll be seeing.



5. Congratulations to Rudy Maxa and the crew for a set of brilliant DVD travel documentaries on Europe - the best I have ever seen. It is a pity that the series has not yet appeared on Australian TV. Beautifully filmed, the DVDs capture the enchantment of each location and its people, while providing great travel tips, fascinating cultural and historical insights. They provide all the entertainment and trappings for travel enthusiasts like myself.

5 comments about Memory.

1. "Memory" starts off by providing the correct pronunciation of the word and what appeared to be the complete dictionary definition of the term. For some reason this made me think of "Memento," which was a mistake because this horror thriller is nothing like that ambitious film. Billy Zane stars as Dr. Taylor Briggs, who was exposed to some strange stuff in Brazil that is causing him to have flashbacks. What is odd is that these appear to be somebody else's flashbacks, and to make things even more interesting the memories seem to be those of a serial killer who targets young women. Given how old the memories appear to be the only cast member running around who would seem to fit the bill is Max Lichtenstein, who is played by Dennis Hopper, which moves the serial killer possibility into the realm of the so patently obvious that you have to discount it (the music cues only reinforce such suspicions since the movie is trying so hard to nudge us in his direction). But Briggs has family issues, so we pay attention because such exposition is also the key to unraveling the mystery, such as it is.
   
   Beyond the "who" the more interesting question is the "how," because picking up on somebody else's memories is not something that happens every day. The need to solve such mysteries never really gets beyond the "because they are there" stage, and for my money "Memory" is harmed by attempting to explain the science behind what is happening. When somebody such as myself, who never even got as far as taking high biology, rolls their eyes and laughs out loud at the idea that memories can be contained in DNA, then it must really be bad. It occurs to me that this sort of scientific mumbo-jumbo could have worked decades ago on something like "The Twilight Zone," but then Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, and the rest of the "Zone" writers were all about the payoff, and that is where "Memory" suddenly looks like somebody slipped in the last real from another horror film. I swear, if you fell asleep for five minutes and woke up during the final scenes you would think that you had slept through the end of one movie and were watching the conclusion of the second on a Billy Zane-double feature. I would accuse this film of engaging in bait and switch except there is no reason to assume those responsible for this film were thinking that far ahead.
   
   "Memory" is directed by Bennett Davlin, who co-wrote the script along with Anthony Badalucco and Russ Turley, which might explain why the ending seems so unlike the rest of the movie. The other major characters in the story are Tricia Helfer of "Battlestar Galactica" fame as Stephanie Jacobs, an artist who becomes Briggs' romantic interest in the film (yes, she does a nude scene, but, no, there is nothing to see, so do not rent "Memory" in that hope) and Ann-Margaret as Carol Hargrave, the owner of a Gallery who sets up the introduction of the scientist and the artist. I was wondering why Ann-Margaret bothered to make this movie, because in 2006 she was having something of a mini-comback what with making "The Break-Up" and "The Santa Clause 3 - The Escape Clause." Therefore it would hardly seem necessary for her to make a movie like this one unless she gets to do something a bit different, which she does, so that may have been part of the rationale. But then I discovered this film was really made in 2005 and sat on the shelf for a while, which strikes me as bizaare given all the crap that goes direct to video. This film might fail more than it succeeds, but it does feature a pretty good cast for this type of movie.



2. When I started watching this movie it didn't look too good--all the previews were grade B trash and that's exactly what I was anticipating during the opening credits. It's surprisingly good, although I'm still not sure I understand the plot in it's entirety.
   
   For instance: why would exposure to some guy's shamanic memory serum all the sudden turn Billy Zane on a specifically personal quest to find out who his real father was? Does the memory serum itself have some kind of good willed soul that steers him in this direction? Why wouldn't it just make him nuts with all sorts of memories at once until it got out of his system?
   
   I really wished Dennis Hopper had turned out to be the maniac; after all, he seems like one anyway, even as the benevolent scientist "would be" father of Zane's character. The hallucinations in this film range from hokey to very, very effective; Ann Margret gives a chillingly effective performance as the torchbearer of a very perverse evil. At times this reminded me of Hitchcock's "Spellbound" and at other times like the crazier parts of "Rambo 3": it's almost as though Roger Corman and Luis Bunuel decided to take the reigns together in an unlikely collaboration.
   Nonetheless, the plot keeps you guessing and the ending is actually pretty shocking.



3. Now here is an awesome original gem of a movie. Very well thought out and written, good acting and directing, suspenseful, atmospheric, and a surprise twist at the end that you do not see coming. Five stars!



4. Dr. Taylor Briggs (Dead Calm's Billy Zane) is in Brazil for a conference on Alzheimer's disease. He is called upon to consult on an unusual case involving a man covered in a strange orange powder. Briggs is accidentally contaminated by this substance (which he later finds out is only used in ancient tribal rituals). This results in what appear to be blackouts and hallucinations. As the days pass, Briggs realizes that these experiences are actually 30 year old memories from someone else's life! Not just any memories, but those of a serial killer! Briggs becomes obsessed w/ finding out the truth behind these visions. MEMORY is a fast-moving tale of mystery and suspense w/ mystical overtones. Zane is believable as Briggs, and Dennis Hopper, Ann-Margret (Magic, Tommy), and Tricia Helfer do admirable jobs, especially Ann-Margret, who adds a nice jolt to this thriller! And yes, she's still beautiful! Remember to add this one to your collection...



5. First of all I want to thank Amazon for this review
   process, and the people who give them. I selected this
   movie based on description and reviews. We have a good
   story, great acting, a plot that will have you guessing
   until the end. Good filmaking without spending a huge
   sum of money, just old fashioned talent.

5 comments about Doctor Who - Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD.

1. Great stuff to watch with the kids! This is not really "hard core" science fiction or even up to par with later Doctor Who TV episodes but its got enough action and a little sillyness to keep even todays kids interested and give the adults a satisfying smile.
   The disc has good chapter navigation and the extras are acceptable - the product placement/ad campaign info provided in the extras show were interesting.



2. I watched this with a Dr. Who fan who put it into perspective for me. What's great is that this film, an early cinematic remake of the second Daleks serial series, is finally on DVD. I've gotten used to the very low budget sets in the old Dr. Who shows, which are soon forgotten as one gets engrossed in the great stories. I just watched The Robots of Death on DVD, which has to have the all-time worst robot costumes but is nevertheless bone-chillingly suspenseful as the plot thickens.
   
   One can't get too much of the Daleks, and this film is chock full of them-- lifesize and in full color. The spaceships are also well done. The thing I felt was that Peter Cushing could do more than stand around as a kind, grandfatherly Time Lord. Of course when he uses the gray matter he comes up with the day-saving plan. He simply doesn't seem very alien, whereas Tom Baker exuded weirdness in everything he did. Regardless, Dr. Who fans will welcome this release on DVD, and the chance to (re)visit the continuing saga of the Daleks.



3. While markedly DIFFERENT form the British SERIES Peter Cushing's performance as (the human) DOCTOR WHO is great fun.



4. Ive never see Dr Who on TV before i saw the 2 Dr Who movies with Peter
   Cushing. So as a kid i found these 2 movies to be great entertainment that
   last a few decades. Now im older, but these 2 movies still rock...especially the Daleks...



5. As always I have to give this Dr Who movie a five star rating.
   It's a bit different from your regular Dr. Who genre, but it finishes fine.
