Osmosis Jones (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Osmosis Jones is one of those movies you almost feel like you have to apologize for liking. Well, forget about it, because this is a very funny and downright entertaining movie with no class whatsoever!
The scenes bounce between live acting and full animation, determined by whether we are outside or inside the body of Frank. The casting for this silly and peculiar movie was expertly chosen for both live and voice roles.
Live, we have Bill Murray as Frank, in his most disgusting character since Caddyshack. Chris Elliot plays his brother Bob, and manages to challenge Murray in the "disgusting slob" category. Murray eats a hard boiled egg that landed in monkey doodoo, and thus introduces Thrax into his body, a red-death virus determined to take over Frank and kill him. (voiced by Laurence Fishburne)
Inside of Frank, we go to the animation where Chris Rock is the voice of our hero, a white blood cell named Osmosis Jones. Jones is a detective for the City Of Frank, where William Shatner does the voice for Mayor Phlemming. Jones knows something is wrong, but the Mayor denies any illness could occur in Frank. But just to be safe, he "manually overrides" Frank and has him take a cold pill.
Meet Drix, the huge and snotty cold pill, whose voice is played by David Hyde Pierce (Frazier's brother Niles). Jones and Drix make an unlikely team as they hunt down Thrax and try to stop him from killing Frank.
Nothing is taboo here; they go to the nose and get caught up in the wave of snot when Frank's allergies act up, they travel to The Zit, Frank's hottest new club where Kidney Rock is playing (Kidd Rock), and Jones reminisces about the time he hit the "Panic Button" in Frank's stomach, causing him to vomit all over his daughter Shane's teacher. (played live action by Molly Shannon)
Boogers, snot, vomit, farts, and zits; its all here. Ron Howard even does a guest voice as Tom Colonic, running for Mayor against Phlemming, who broadcasts his campaign commercial from The Bowels.
This is visceral entertainment with a squishy feel to it, riotously funny and well endowed with toilet humor; silly campy comedy at its very best. In David Litton's excellent review below, he mentioned that this was a "Fun Time-waster". Indeed it is, David. Enjoy!

Four Years of Thunder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From http://www.worldwar1.com/cr001.htm
Contributed by Walt KudlickThe video Four Years of Thunder is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the development of early aviation or who simply enjoys seeing aircraft of the Great War in flight. Originally screened on The History Channel in September, 1996 on cable television in the United States, this four-part series traces the growth of military aviation from the days of the Wright brothers through the end of the First World War.
It does this by skillfully combining vintage black-and-white film clips with color film of historic and replica aircraft at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome museum and airshows. These are integrated with scenes of the ground fighting during the Great War and views of how such sites as the Marne and Somme appear today. The producers have succeeded admirably in relating the glamorous fighter aces and aircraft usually featured in films of the Great War to the broader aviation context which included observation, artillery spotting, and bombing, as well as the use of airships and flying boats. Further, they indicate how military aviation functioned with respect to the still broader context of the ground fighting which ultimately determined the war's outcome.
Four Years of Thunder was written, produced and directed by John Honey. Walter J. Boyne, the well-known aviation author and former director of the National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC, served as an associate producer and historical consultant for the series. Other names listed in the credits will also be familiar to many viewers.
Volume I: Flying to War, Beginning of Flight to end of 1914 - states that the objective of the video is to relate the "story of how military aviation, in less than a decade, grew from a vague theory to a comprehensive system of warfare." The uses of military aviation in Mexico and Libya before 1914 are cited early in this first cassette. It includes what is believed to be the first motion-picture filmed from an aircraft and one of the first parachute jumps from a heavier-than -air craft. Among the personalities to be seen are the Wright brothers, Glenn Curtiss, Albert Santos-Dumont, Henri Farman, Louis Bleriot, Roland Garos, Anthony Fokker, Count Von Zeppelin, and other aviators. Dignitaries and military men shown, among others, are: Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo, Kaiser Wilhelm II, General Kitchener, General Gallieni, and Generals Joffre and Foch. Aircraft at least glimpsed include: early Wright Flyers; a 1909 Antoinette unsuccessfully attempting a crossing of the English Channel; a Bleriot XI, a Curtiss D demonstrating its control system, a French Hanriot; a Taube monoplane, German rigid airships; Maurice Farman Longhorn and Shorthorn, and an AVRO 504. These scenes are blended with ground-level footage of some pre-war aviation highlights, the Archduke's funeral, mobilization of the armies, troops attacking and retreating, battle scenes, taxicabs transporting French soldiers from Paris to the Marne, and trenches under snow.
Volume II: The Fokker Scourge 1915-1916 - By 1915 the technology race was in full swing and is illustrated here with such developments as Roland Garos with a deflector plate fitted to the propeller of his Morane-Saulnier N countered by the first real fighter - the Fokker Eindecker - with its synchronized machine-gun firing through the propeller arc. First one side then the other secured a temporary advantage thanks to new equipment. Other film clips show: Bristol Scouts, Nieuport 11s, aerial acrobatics, pilot testing and training using "penguins", Caudron G-3 and G-4 early bombing efforts, Voisin biplanes, scenes of aircraft manufacture, German and French troops at Verdun, General Petain, trucks moving along the "Sacred Way", the use of poison gas and flame-throwers, and a Rumpler two-seater. The Rumpler had a camera mounted between its wing struts and produced what appears to be genuine operational footage. There are also scenes of balloons and balloon-busting rockets being mounted on wing struts, the elite French fighter squadron "Les Cigognes", Nieuport 17s, Fokker E-3, Farman F40s and such aces as Georges Guynemer, Max Immelmann, and Oswald Boelcke. Also featured are the American flyers of the Lafayette Escadrille, whose numbers were small but whose influence on America's entry into the war was great. Views of British troops attacking on the Somme in July, 1916 are related to the scenes of the arrival at St. Omer of FE 2ds and DH 2s from England, helping gain air superiority for that offensive. This volume concludes with film of the Spad VII and the entry into the war of a new German fighter; the Albatross.
Volume III: Bloody April 1917-1918 - Included in this cassette are views of: the Sopwith one-and-a-half strutter, the FE-2, WRAF women engaged in aircraft construction, Lewis guns and Scarf rings. On the German side we see: Hindenburg and Ludendorff, Boelcke and Richthofen, and construction of the Albatross. Sounds of engines running, hammers tapping, machine guns firing, have been smoothly and effectively added to the originally silent films. Rare film of an Albatross attacking a much slower Caudron biplane can be seen. Sopwith Pups, DH-2s, SE-5s, Sopwith Triplanes, Handley-Page bombers, Charles Nungesser, Rene Fonck, and a simulated dogfight between a Fokker DR-1 and a Sopwith Pup are also included here. Adding to the realistic impression of the film taken at Old Rhinebeck are the use of vintage cars and motorcycles and the period dress of the recreators portraying pilots, mechanics, and bystanders. Black and white film taken of the results of the original dogfight [won by Richthofen] show Richthofen and Fokker examining the remains of the shot down Pup. Original footage of the Bristol F-2b and AVRO 504 taken in Palestine, the Sopwith Camel, the death and funeral with full honors of Manfred Richthofen, and a look at his successor, Hermann Goering, conclude Volume III.
Volume IV: Winged Victory 1918 - Featured in this final volume are the Americans and the planes in which they trained and fought [Curtiss JN-4, DH-4, Nieuport 28, Sopwith Camels, and Spad XIII]. The delays which occurred in providing them with the necessary aircraft, engines and armament are well described. Also covered are Germany's "America Program" designed to increase aircraft production to 2,000 planes a month and the formation of Britain's Royal Air Force through the combining of the RFC and RNAS. Other film clips include: the funeral of Raoul Lufbery, aircraft, Liberty engine, and hangar construction scenes, pilot training, the Felixstowe flying boat, shipboard launchings of patrol planes, Handley Page bombers, the Fokker DVII and DVIII, French Salmsons and Breguets, and Italian Capronis]. Perhaps the highlight of this final cassette is the story of how air power was used in multiple ways in close coordination with ground troops in the St. Mihiel offensive. Involved were 1,481 aircraft of 15 different types, and 101 squadrons made up of French, American, British, and Italian units. The logistics were horrendous but the result was successful. In the Paris victory parade shown in the video a pilot, irked at the lack of representation of the air services in the parade, can be seen flying his biplane through the Arc de Triomphe! He made his point. The final year of the war had reinforced the belief of all major powers that aircraft had become crucial in supporting armies on the battlefield. "The speed of technological development over four years had been dramatic ... a great new industry - aviation - had been established [and] the world was captivated by its excitement and boundless possibilities."

Open Season 2 (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had high hopes for this one as animation can look so pristine in BD, but I was in for a shock. Sony Animation was behind this, but it had the whole Cartoon Network look to it instead. The main voice talents from the first film did not come over,nor did any of the writing/production staff (and it shows).
The story is just ok, entailing friends helping and rescuing each other with plenty of adventure and rabbit abuse. One of the main characters is a dachshund so apparently the "wiener" humor is what passes for hilarity these days. While it has been playing in the store kids of all ages are entranced by it but the parents haven't been thrilled with the parts they have seen. The "..that lady pulled my wiener.." and "..my beautiful rack.." lines raise a few parent's eyebrows so it hasn't exactly been a hit like I had hoped.
The BD supplements are painful, including "deleted scenes" which were hand sketched and not worth the time. The "Weenie Arcade" has a horribly spliced "Who Let the Dogs Out" video by the Baha Men, a how to draw the animals tutorial, and a featurette about the faces behind the voices.
I loved Hoodwinked, even with that style of animation, and OS2 looks similar in nature (no pun meant) but is much less of a quality film. I have read where people say this an ideal family film, which nothing really offends me so I would watch it with my kids, but needless to say I lost a few rentals playing it in the store. And for a BD, not one of the memorable ones.

I often find myself humming bits from The Quake Song, The Big Wrap Party, and others. Recommended for anyone, of any age, who appreciates inspired wackiness, bad puns, and silly rhymes. :)

Transamerican Love Story, The Complete First Season Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I dont unserstand what all the negative coments are from. ITS A REALITY GAME SHOW NOT A SHOW ABOUT UNDERSTANDING TRANS PEOPLE. In the proces we learn to understand and grow attached to both Calpernia as well as Jim and Calies friend amanda. Reality game shows are cheesie dumb cheep and a bit insulting, why would you think this is anything moore then the mindless fun a show like "The Bachlor" is. To insult Calpernia for doing this show or saying "i have no respect for her after watching" just says to me you will not let her be left alone to be the girl she is, not everything about trans people needs to be educational and we all know how hard it is she did nothing wrong with doing this show that countless others do and end up on the cover of people magazine, i say she is a trail blazer, she didnt edit the show so at timnes when they made her look foolish or anoying "the herim challenge" that was the editors not her. Most of these shows start orr bad they have to find there rythem then they milk it till dry; case in point Project runnway, now its gone. For me this is the ultament in exceptance' ha well not the ultamet", but this shows that trans woman can do a show just as tacky and fun as others i wish there was a season 2, i always said Alexis Arquett woud of been a great woman for it but she might be way to hard headed but hell that could be fun to see, but i have to admit it a bit shelfish because i have a huge crush on Alexis. Anyway, not all shows about Trans need to be clinicol or full of drama we all know she had a hardlife give the girl a break and let her have some fun; AGAIN ITS A REALITY SHOW CHEESY SILLY FUN.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Complete Sixth Season (1997) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Season Six, to alot of fans, was a disaster train wreck! But don't be fooled by their analysis of this season because its one of the best seasons ever of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"! This is the season that took risks, and triumphed unnoticed by the fans, except a few. This season is misunderstood by many who first viewed it and therefore they disliked it, just like they disliked the final season,(Season Seven), but it wasn't because of the stories of this season, it was the gap of broadcasting that ruined the flow of the storyline, and therefore, this season needs another glance again, without interruption, and you'll understand what the point of this season was all about.
Many say it was dark, and yes it was the darkest feeling season since Season Two, and later Season Seven, but life itself, can get dark sometimes, and this was the point the series 6th year was trying to point out. If you've noticed, every season's theme has a metaphor in them, and this year was having the Scooby Gang bracing their darkest storm that could be thrown at them.
How is that? You may say, well, I'll tell you...
Ever since the very first episode, we've grown to love these wacky fun loving kids! In the First Season, it was the introduction period, the Slayer, her Watcher and friends gathering in the library, fighting monster of the week big baddies, along with school issues every teenager at one time or another will find theirselves in, plus a trial of a Slayer. In the Second Season it grew larger, they had to battle not only school, but love hormones, a lover gone bad, new annual baddies, like Spike and Drusilla,and the death of a close one, and trials of a Slayer. In the Third Season, still it was school, a rogue Slayer named Faith, a baddie named "the Mayor", and trials of departing loves and trials of a Slayer. The Fourth Season was college life, new baddie named Adam, and a government containment place for studies of demons, and again trials of a Slayer. The Fifth Season was departure childhood, going into adulthood, and fighting a big baddie named Glory, and the death of a dear one they'd miss forever, and also introduction of a sister. And now Season Six takes them farther, somewhere that the Scoobies had never faced before....and that was "life"!
Every year they've faced bad things, but they were never in a position of being left alone, to survive on their own, and to be a grown up. Someone here mentioned that its been six years later since they started their adventures, and that they were adults now, and they needed to center their lives as adults, and that person was right. It was time to move onward, brace whats ahead, no matter what lie uncharted. We had to see how these characters would react, if they were put in a position to where they'd hit rock bottom, to see how they'd reach the top again, to see really, how much strength they really have, besides magic, or mysttical slayer powers, and thats the storm one must face, to overcome their trials with triumph.
In this season, Buffy had to quit her hopes of returning to college, and get a real life job to pay the bills, make sure Dawn doesn't get taken away from her care, and at one point, she comments that her mother was the super woman of the family on how she couldn't believe she could do all the stuff that Joyce did! Xander has to confront the word "commitment" as he gets prepared to marry the woman he loves, and Willow has to overcome her craving for magic, which she deals with throughout the season by trying to give it up. The point, they each failed, they hit the bottom of the boat, as Buffy fell into depression, had an affair with Spike, (who in this season overcomes some major points in his life too), Xander's fear of turining into his father, leaves him leaving Anya at the altar, later turning her in the way of vengeance again, and Willow, she gets the sour lemon, as she gains Tara back,(who left her because of Willow's crave of magic), but she also loses Tara in the one of the most vicious and real murders of the series, which drives Willow into becoming evil with rage, and almost destroying the world. At the end of the season, all of them faces their problems, and they begin the start of rebuilding what they lost as they hit rock bottom througthout the season, as Buffy and Spike seperate, he goes to get a soul, she tries to tear down her gap with Dawn that they made during the season, and Xander and Willow come to terms with theirselves as they each step out of the eye of their own inner demons, their storms!
Note:
This season has great episodes! There's "Bargining", "Once More,With Feeling", "Dead Things", "Normal Again", "Seeing Red", and "Villains" to "Two to Go' & 'Grave". Each actor portrailed each character to heart so much, that their feelings grabbed ahold to you, as if you were the one's who were going through them as well! Also,do know that this season is *very graphical* in some scenes, this was the most *provocative season* in the series whole 7 year run. There is a few gruesome scenes in some episodes, and some very [physical] in tone,(especially with the Spike and Buffy, and Willow and Tara romantic storylines), but they were to make a point, that was needed for the story of the season.
It's a great and wonderful, powerful season,with a powerful message that was overlooked, this season took dangerous risks, and truimphed with their goal. Also know that this season is the *only* season that centers the Slayer and the Scooby Gang around the true hard cold life that we all may face once we reach adulthood, if not already. Many fans should charish this season to heart, it was indeed an unheard, unreconized, classic season for the series! I love this season! Enjoy, you won't regret it!

Elated with having Buffy back from the dead, her friends never wonder if she may have been in a better place. Only Spike knows the truth and as Buffy struggles to readjust to life, she begins a relationship with Spike that torments her as much as it brings her fleeting comfort. Yet even as Buffy fears that the magic that brought her back has somehow changed her, Willow's growing reliance on magic is an addiction she can barely control - and one that threatens everyone.

The BEST of MOTHER ANGELICA Live: Knowledge in Heaven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Until this evening I did not know just how dangerous this lady really was. I have channel-surfed my way through many of her programs, and usually they are just boiler-plate Catholic insight. But on August 7, 2001 she was really a live wire. She asserted that women wearing bikinis are ultimately responsible for causing men to go out and rape other women.. I swear, I am not making this up. Also, on another issue, she asserted that because she rides around wherever she lives and doesn't see many houses that this proves that there are not enough people on the planet. Maybe she never traveled past the US, and recently not further that Alabama. She asserted that there are no young people in the world. She apparently has not been to any part of the third world, to see the young people desperate. And somehow she connected this with the inadvisability of putting people on Mars. Go figure. It is so clear this lady was just a kooky prop for ambitious Catholics. But simply stated: rhetoric like this is not just silly it is just immoral and dangerous in itself for society. Shame on this whole outfit.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BCI Eclipse (the company responsible for the entire He-Man/ She-Ra DVD releases) has just announced the exciting news that the second volume of the 2002 animated series is coming out on DVD on May 27.
Debuting on Cartoon Network in 2002 from Mike Young Productions, the first season of the show ran for 26 episodes (the first 13 were released on Feb 19). This collection represents volume 2 (there will be 3 total). Considering the order of the first 13-episoide release, it appears as though BCI is going to keep the continuity of the original airing in which case this collection should contain the following episodes:
Underworld
The Mystery of Anwat Gar
The Monster Within
Roboto's Gambit
Trust
Orko's Garden
Buzz-Off's Pride
Snake Pit
The Island
The Sweet Smell of Victory
Separation

Like all of BCI's incredible releases, the second volume of the 2002 series is slated to be packed with creative staff commentary, bonus materials, and a pair of collector's art cards. Fans of the series are anxiously awaiting BCI's announcement of the third volume which will consist of the 13 episodes that made up the second (and final) season of this excellent show.

Justice League Unlimited - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection) (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the Cartoon Network picked up Seasons Three and Four of "Justice League" after Season Two finished, they did so with the conditions that 1) instead of two-part stories, they wanted half-hour, self-contained stories; and 2) they wanted a fresher version of the show that clearly differentiated Season Three [and up] from Seasons One and Two. The producers obliged. The result was the re-titled "Justice League Unlimited."
The series creators' mandate, according to producer/story editor Dwayne McDuffie, was simply to tell really good stories with very small groups of characters, combining some of the original heroes with the new ones. These half-hour, power-packed stories (most notably, the Stan Berkowitz/Robert Goodman-penned "Fearful Symmetry") ultimately snowballed into the highly-praised, two-season long "Cadmus arc" which involves a government conspiracy formed to combat the ever increasingly powerful Justice League. And don't forget "Epilogue" featuring a startling Batman revelation.
Watching the original founding members of the Justice League joined by an even greater collection of heroes including Supergirl, Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Vigilante, and the Question is just fun unto itself. During a given episode, I'd be like Hey, Hawk & Dove! Hey, Booster Gold! Hey, The Question! Hey, Red Tornado! So, for me, part of the fun in having so many heroes available for JLU was seeing which hero (obscure or otherwise) would appear on the show (whether on a mission or in the background). A lot of the heroes would probably never get their own show, so JLU was a fun way of introducing these heroes in animated form.
JLU also benefited from more contributions from well-known comic book creators. Not to mention even more inspired voice casting including TV brothers Fred Savage and Jason Hervey (The Wonder Years) in reverse roles as brothers "Hawk (the aggressor) and Dove" (the pacifist), respectively; Dennis Farina (Crime Story, Law & Order) as aging tough guy Wildcat in "The Cat and the Canary"; Tom Everett Scott (Saved) as gloryhound Booster Gold in "The Greatest Story Never Told"; and CCH Pounder (ER, The Shield) as Project Cadmus leader Amanda Waller. JLU's new opening rock theme was provided by Michael McCuistion.
Though the box cover of this set is titled "Justice League Unlimited - Season One," this 4-disc Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) set actually contains both JLU Seasons One and Two (each 13 episodes) for a combined count of 26 episodes. No doubt Amazon and the previous reviewer will make edits in their descriptions of this product given this revelation. Season One title aside, just know that you're getting two seasons worth of JLU episodes in one package! Special features include: "And Justice for all": The process of revamping the series with new characters and a new creative direction; "Themes of Justice": Choose your favorite JLU musical theme audio tracks; Creators' Commentary on "This Little Piggy" and "The Return".

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Season One Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I promised I would not buy this because I have seen it a million times on Bravo but of all the "Housewives" franchises, New Jersey is my favorite! Atlanta used to be but there is something more genuine and organic about the drama between this particular group of ladies. I'm anxiously waiting for Season 2 to begin next month for even more table flipping!
I love the relationship between the sisters Caroline and Dina. With their sister-in-law Jacqueline and close friend Theresa, the odd "woman" out is Danielle. You really want to root for her but there's something about her that makes that a little difficult. I don't know if her past has hardened her (which it more than likely did), but her caustic and biting tongue are a little hard to take at times.
If you haven't checked out this series, indulge just once...you may also love love love it!

Bravo heads to the Garden State to follow the five most Jersey of all Jersey Girls as they live lavish lifestyles and deal with all the drama that money can buy. The hair is big, but the drama is bigger in The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Season One. For the first time in Real Housewives history, the ladies are more than just friends – joining the cast are two sisters, who are married to two brothers – and one sister-in-law, bringing a whole new level of familial drama to the table. While family remains a priority for each of these women, their shopping, decorating, dating and even fighting are all over-the-top.From their wild weekend in Atlantic City to the infamous table flip, watch every episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Season One including the two Watch What Happens episodes, The Lost Footage and the director's cut of the season finale, all of 3 DVDs.

Pokemon Advanced Battle, Vol. 1 - Gaining Groudon (1998) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is great! Finally, Pokemon Advanced Battle is on DVD! This is a great DVD because it has the first of 2 episodes with Groudon and Kyogre, the second on another DVD. If it had both then this would be even better, but that's in volume 2, The Scuffle of Legends. You'll love this DVD.

Thriller: The Complete Series (1962) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am THRILLED that THRILLER is being released on August 31, 2010 this summer! Image Entertainment has put the entire series, which is two seasons, on 14 discs in this dvd set. All 67 one hour long chilling and some really frightening episodes will be seen in the original fantastic black and white film in all it's scary shadows and creepiness.
Thriller was originally shown on Tuesday nights in it's first 1960-1961 season on NBC from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m.. Because of parents complaints that the show was too scary for school age children, making them unable to sleep on a school night, NBC moved the show in it's second 1961 to 1962 season to Monday nights at a later time from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m.. The show began with it's host, the great Boris Karloff preparing it's audience for the great horrors and terrors that you were about to see and hear. Boris Karloff not only hosted the one hour long show, but starred in several episodes as well, adding his wonderfully brilliant performances to these extremely well written horror stories. The black and white film is perfect for the super eerie atmosphere of the scary stories and it really does add to the visual terror.
Stephen King calls Thriller the best horror series ever put on television. I call Thriller the only television series that gave me horrendous and terrifying, unable to sleep, nightmares as a child and I don't mean a few of the shows, but most of them! Most of the episodes feature the most disturbing stories of the macabre, twisted murders, terror and a few crime based episodes. The crime based episodes, though very excellent, full of twists and suspense, are not my favorites, as they are not as scary as the supernatural and macabre ones.
Image Entertainment said they have digitally restored the original black and white film and used Dolby digital sound on the recording. I remember getting goose bumps hearing the creepiest sounds and screams in some of the episodes, as if the film wasn't creepy enough with things hiding in every shadow and close ups of glaring dead eyes! In it's first season, Thriller was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Music For Television. It wasn't just the sounds and screams that were terrifying, but also the music! The next season, American Cinema Editors nominated Thriller for Best Edited Television Program, for the episode, A Third For Pinochle.
Thriller featured many well known actors and actresses in their episodes, some being: Boris Karloff, Leslie Nielson, silent film star Mary Astor, Rip Torn, Richard Chamberlain, Cloris Leachman, Ellen Corby, Victor Buono, Mary Tyler Moore, Jack Carson, Warren Oates, Werner Klemperer, Mort Saul, William Shatner, Donna Douglas, Susan Oliver, Ronald Howard, Robert Vaughn, Marlo Thomas, Jeanette Nolan, Tommy Nolan, Edward Andrews, Marion Ross, Brandon DeWilde, Natalie Schafer, Alejandro Rey, John Carradine, Tom Posten, Elizabeth Montgomery, Estelle Winwood, JoAnn Fleet, Bruce Dern, Richard Long, Ursula Andress, Denver Pyle, Sue Ann Langdon, Dick York, Reta Shaw, William Windom and George Kennedy.
I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU TO IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT for putting the time and effort into digitally restoring and releasing the greatest horror television series of all time! They are also including bonus materials of Audio Commentaries, Episodes Promos, Series Promos and Still Galleries. I am so looking forward to getting goose bumps and being terrified all over again with those dreaded nightmares that kept me and all my school friends awake all night and hiding deep under our covers, so afraid of the dark! This being my second time around to see these terrifying Thrillers, I have learned to never watch the supernatural or macabre episodes alone. If I have no choice and have to watch them alone, I will make sure to keep a light on, and most importantly, I'll make sure that there are no reflecting windows, glass or mirrors visible when watching THE HUNGRY GLASS! Even after 50 years, I can still remember the terrified photographer and his wife when they decided to ignore everyone telling them not to move into the haunted seaside house, but moved in anyway to live with the terrors reflected within!
