Customer Reviews:

You still in acting??.......2007-06-02

You still alive? That is the greatest line spoken in this movie. William Forsythe says it. This line alone is reason enough to avoid the film. My only question is, Mr. Forsythe, are you still in acting? hahaha. I haven't seen a new movie with him in ages. Ex-football player movies stink hahaha.

The Best Documentry to learn about fighting fire .......2006-12-09

As a person that took several units at the local community college in fire safety I can honestly attest that this film stays to true to form regarding firefighting. Having the experience of watching footage of fire and being at times several hundred feet from a fire I consider myself an expert in the matter of man's first foe: fire. In my class, we watched the compelling documentary of real life firefighter, Jesse Graves, fighting in what we call a "Firestorm." "Firestorms" are essentially storms of fire, which starts off in Tierra del Fuego. Unlike other storms which carry moisture and brisk winds, a "Firestorm" is a storm that has not clouds that squeeze out rain, sleet or snow, but spews out liquid-hot fire. Suffice to say, Mr. Jesse Graves has bravely chosen to fight this storm of fire alone. In the process of making the documentary, some ruffians have escaped from jail to recover several million dollars of so-called "loot." Aside from the shenanigans of these louts, Mr. Jesse Graves not only saves the town from this storm of fire, but also teaches us proper safety procedures for combating fire.

Unparalleled realism, Howie's hygiene is beyond reproach.......2006-06-11

As a real-life wildland firefighter I am here to tell you that this movie is perfection and grace. The writers themselves must have eaten smoke in some former life. Indeed they nailed every aspect of wildland firefighting. From DOC crews who are chained to their bus while traveling to the fire and released with a potential deadly weapon in a camouflage ridden forest---to Howie's masterful portrayal of a smokejumper with a heart and the childlike demeanor of an alcoholic scoutmaster, this film is pure gold. If one flaw should be cited, it is, that the incendiary, helicopter launched, ping pong ball machine failed to explode with enough devastating force! Firefighters know that ping pong balls do not make a grenade sized explosions, but one more akin to a bunker buster launched from an F16. The chainsaw scene took my breath away, Howie's acting was certainly slighted by a lack of an academy nomination. The fire at the movie's end was the first true-to-life portrayal of a wildland fire since the Lions Gate film 'Superfire'. It is comforting to know that someone realizes wildland fires travel at speeds exceeding 125 miles per hour and rip mature pine trees out by their roots hurling them a quarter mile or more. Thank you Howie, you're the man!

put this fire out.......2005-10-09

Hokey, instantly forgettable actioner that typically casts football star Long as a smoke jumper who ends up pursuing criminal Forsythe in the midst of a blazing forest fire. It's hard not to be a step ahead of this overdone, routinely-written turkey. The dialouge is silly and the characters are thin and unappealing.

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT - A MACHO MOVIE - GREAT SUBJECT.......2005-02-04

A macho movie -- just means that the guys are out there doing their job with a few nuts thrown in.

I am always looking for Scott Glenn's movies and enjoy the few that I have.
I have always had the greatest respect for paratroopers covering any job. I can't imagine a job much more dangerous. You got to admire these guys.

Loved the movie and all the color - the terrain - the characters - and hey, how about that heliocopter pilot. Wow! look at that long hair.
Would love to have had a feature on the making of the movie.
Oh, and Howie Long still looks better that the baby faced actors being used today.

Well worth seeing - will be added to my collection.

Description

A searing drama of natural disaster and sheer bravery, FIRESTORM: LAST STAND AT YELLOWSTONE tracks a crack team of firefighters as they battle massive flames threatening to eviscerate Yellowstone National Park--and trap the thousands of tourists who have come to visit America's national treasure on summer vacation. Based on a true story, this A&E Network Original Movie, starring Scott Foley (Felicity) and Richard Burgi (Desperate Housewives), is the life-or-death story of firefighter Clay Harding (Foley) who has spent his life studying fires--how they move, breathe, grow--and most importantly, how to put them out. When throngs of tourists enter the park for the 4th of July weekend, Clay's worst fears come true: a massive fire grows out of control, scorching everything in its path. Faced with this deadly crisis, Clay and his team devise a radical plan to save everyone--and what is left of the park. As they race against time, can they harness the flames in time to save thousands of lives?

Customer Reviews:

HIGH PRAISE TO OUR FIRE-FIGHTERS AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES.......2007-06-07

Almost very educational - Yellowstone - Firefighters, their lives and dangers.
I must admit that I bought it because of Scott Foley from [The Unit] but the movie was well worth it.
The dangers are always real just never brought to our attention of all the dangers and risks that these men and women face when the blaze starts to take out millions of acre's of trees and park-lands.

I sure hope that the far shots of the blazes were not real - the up-close shots were too real. It reminds me that we must remember these people in our prayers. And hope that the government agencies are not as stupid and money-grubbing as they sound. [Probably a forlorn hope.]

This movie is Definitely recommended for the more mature audience - and not for some twitchy kid that thinks starting a fire is a lark.

Last Stand at Yellowstone.......2007-05-20

This is an excellent story. Richard Burgi and Scott Foley do a great job in telling of the forest fire fighters and their families. I enjoyed the extras of how Yellowstone was formed as well.

Awesome DVD.......2007-05-25

I'm writing a novel based during the Great Quake, and this DVD just gave me so much information and inspiration. I'm so glad I bought it. I'm sure to be watching it often as I progress with the book.

this DVD of the Great SF earthquake of 1906 was fantastic!.......2006-06-07

I picked up my dvd at a shop at Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco and I must have re-watched this DVD a dozen times! because it is so well made and intersting to watch.
I think they did a wonderful job on this documentary and I would highly recommend it, especially if your a history buff like myself.

definitely worth adding to your dvd collection

Im also planning on picking up another documentary about the SF earthquake and fire of 1906 called: "Disaster by the Bay the great SF earthquake and fire of 1906" I heard that was alos a very good one.

CardCaptors Vol. 5 - Firestorm

Customer Reviews:

It was PRETTY GOOD!!.......2005-11-14

I do have to say it was GREAT! But Star Power will always be my favorite. But this is VERY worth to buy. In fact it's a GREAT movie and the dubbing was GRAND!!!! And it's when Sakura captures the Shot card, The Firey card and the Snow card.
It's GREAT!!!
Do buy it!!!!

It's okay..........2003-11-03

In the first episode:
Sakura and Julian go to a carnival where the firey card makes trouble.
In the second episode:
A store sells look alike Clow Cards , but there's a real Clow Card.
In the third episode:
The snow card buries the town in snow.

I admit-.......2003-01-03

I was surprised with these episodes.They were much better than I had expected. Many of the Cardcaptors shows weren't very good at all, and the fact that they cut over 23 of Cardcaptor Sakura's best episodes doesn't help much. Still, it's a better dub than many , and perhaps I'm just saying that because I've been reading the manga for who knows how long. I again recommend Japanese, since the original has all of the missing scenes (and Sakura's voice is kawaii!). I still must say that this was an up for Nelvana!

IT WAS WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-04

As I scroll down the list of reviews, I see that most of the people hate Nelvana and the whole Cardcaptor scene. I mean, I LOVED this video. It contained the BEST 4 episodes of Cardcaptors. I mean, I KNOW that 99.9% of the people here hating Nelvana but liking CLAMP's original version never would know about Cardcaptors unless Nelvana dubbed it.

I wish they had a no star rating..........2002-03-12

Okay, this [is bad]. I mean, as we all know, the episodes are cut up, pieces are messed up, a PLOT is missing, voices are horrible, etc. etc., ETC.! DO NOT get this, this is a waste of your money ($$=0)...I mean, Sakura knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Kero and his abilities (goodness, she doesn't even believe that he HAS a true form thats way cool), so why would she suspect that Kero might disappear after she catches Firey? And the part where they ask Meilin for advice, Meilin is not thinking about the Kero problem, she's trying to give Sakura advice on BUYING A GIFT FOR YUKITO (julian)!!! Why would MEILING know anything like that? Her report card [is bad], and if she can't even get 4th grade mathm then how can she know 411 about the beast of the seal?

Description

In 1999, Florida suffered a series of devastating wildfires that burned from the spring until late August. Thousands of lives were disrupted, entire towns were evacuated, and firefighters from across the nation were called in to help fight the inferno. FIRESTORM is an all-encompassing look at Florida's season of flame, following the crisis from the first sparks to the dying embers. In over 30 interviews, we hear the stories that emerged from the flames--of the hardships suffered by the residents of Waldo, of the struggles of bulldozer operators who dug a 250-mile fire containment trench, of the helicopter pilots who spent day after day dousing the inferno from above. Front-line footage shows the devastation as it happened, and we'll experience the relief and sorrow as evacuated residents return to their homes--or their remains.
