Paul Newman plays a racecar driver, Frank Capua, who steps out of his professional and personal isolation long enough to marry a single mother, Elora (Joanne Woodward). The two have a brief but happy life together with Elora's 13-year-old son, Charley (Richard Thomas), but it comes to an end when Frank goes back on the racing circuit and Elora assuages her loneliness in the arms of her husband's chief rival, Luther (Robert Wagner). Frank checks out, and Charley travels across the country to find him and effect a reconciliation. A touching movie (with some good racing footage) by director James Goldstone, Winning is about the real pain of people who have become used to a certain way of safe, arm's-length living, and who have to learn to get beyond it to find redemption in love and faith. Good performances by Newman, Woodward, and Thomas, who makes a terrific impression in one of his earliest roles. --Tom Keogh

An Entertaining 'Look' at Legendary Gary Cooper!.......2007-06-16

It's a shame that Gary Cooper, today, is largely remembered for only "High Noon", his Hawks and Capra films ("Sergeant York" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town"), and as Lou Gehrig in "The Pride of the Yankees"; in his day, he was as sexy and popular as Clark Gable, and more esteemed as a cowboy star than John Wayne!

"Gary Cooper MGM Movie Legends Collection" offers a selection of titles that will, hopefully, spark renewed interest in this most charismatic American 'Original'. While, sadly, the collection offers little in bonus features, and, with the exception of "Barbara Worth", appears to be unremastered (which is why I only give it 4 stars), each film is very entertaining!

"The Winning of Barbara Worth" (1926), was, of course, Coop's breakthrough role, after three years of stunt work and bit parts, and is a bona fide classic. As 'Abe Lee', the young cowboy/surveyor suitor of Vilma Banky, his sexy, natural style would steal the film from star Ronald Colman (in Colman's defense, his role was more restrained, and less interesting). The film, based on a best-selling novel about harnessing the Colorado River to irrigate the desert, garnered great reviews and box office, and gave Coop a spectacular 'start'... (5 stars out of 5)

"The Cowboy and the Lady" (1938), a 'modern-day' Western comedy/romance, presented Coop the way 1930s' audiences loved him best, as a slow-talking, incorruptible cowboy irresistible to women, but a 'gentleman', in the best sense of the word! Falling for the daughter of a Presidential hopeful, posing as a maid (Merle Oberon), he marries her, discovers the charade, then storms into a posh political dinner and speaks so much 'common sense' that her family moves to his ranch! With life-long friend Walter Brennan as his sidekick, this is a real charmer! (5 stars out of 5)

"The Real Glory" (1939), released shortly after his classic version of "Beau Geste", another 'action-oriented' adventure, though lacking the "Geste" polish and style. Coop is a military doctor in the 1906 Philippines, who, with friends David Niven and Broderick Crawford, attempts to help the Filipinos fight off an army of insurgents. Action was never producer Sam Goldwyn's forte, and the film lacks the warmth of a "Gunga Din", although it does offer a rousing climax... (2 1/2 stars out of 5)

"Vera Cruz" (1954), produced by Burt Lancaster and Harold Hecht, is a spectacular, large-scale western, filmed in Mexico. Ex-Confederate Cooper and bandit Lancaster are uneasy partners guarding Denise Darcel and millions in gold, during the Mexican Revolution. While the aging Coop wasn't well during production, he still gives a solid performance, although overshadowed by Burt's flashy portrayal; the film offers a
fabulous supporting cast, including Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Cesar Romero, and Jack Elam. "Vera Cruz" was a major influence on Sergio Leone, and has achieved legendary status, among fans of the genre! (5 stars out of 5)

There is a LOT to enjoy, in this Gary Cooper collection!

Great collection of films by Coop.......2007-05-17

Gary Cooper is my favorite actor and this is an excellent collection to showcase his diversity as an actor.

The Winning of Barbara Worth is a silent film made in 1926 and was his first credited screen appearance. The story revolves around a young woman named Barbara Worth, her family and other members of the town they live in out in the Nevada desert where they are trying to reroute the Colorado river in order to irrigate the town and make it more habitable. After a year of appearing in movies as a stunt rider, a 25 year old Gary lobbied to win the supporting role of Abe Lee, the son of the surveyor who is working on the irrigation project and a childhood friend of Barbara who he is also in love with. He had already been hired to be a stunt man but he wanted to try his hand at actual acting. They had already cast that part but the actor who was to play it was still finishing another movie. As it became clear he would not be able to make it they gave Gary the part. The irrigation project is successful and the river is diverted but unfortunately after a short time the system is in danger of failing and flooding the town. Gary's character must endure a 24-hour horse ride into town from the dam site to warn them. He is supposed to arrive at Barbara's house and knock on the door. When it is opened he is to say the dam is about to break and then fall flat on his face worn out from his long, arduous journey. He absolutely nailed the scene and indeed he was so good that the studio was afraid he would end up being the star of the picture and not Ronald Colman who plays the lead and is the son of the man in charge of the dam construction project. They were instructed to either cut that scene or reshoot it with Colman making the journey instead, they opted to cut it so unfortunately it does not appear in the film. However this scene as well as his others gave everyone a glimpse of the wonderul, natural acting ability Gary had even that early in his career. This movie was a huge hit when it was originally released and it has an interesting story and incredible special effects as seen when the dam does break and the town floods.

The Real Glory was made in 1939 and is set in the Phillipines during the early 1900s. Gary plays an army doctor named Bill Canavan and his outfit is part of a small group of soldiers that are left on the island to try and help the natives defend themselves from other warring tribes. It is a very good adventure story with lots of scenes shot in the jungles and also in raging rivers. There's a nice love story mixed in and the characters are well developed and very likeable.

Vera Cruz was made in 1954 by Burt Lancaster's production company and he costars with Gary in this very entertaining western set in and filmed in Mexico. Gary and Burt play two men who sell their services as soldiers of fortune to the highest bidder during the Mexican revolution of 1866. They end up on the side of the emperor and are charged with protecting a lady friend of the emperor on her journey to Vera Cruz. However it gets complicated when the two men realize that along with the beautiful woman they are also transporting a large chest of gold that is going to be used to buy weapons. They along with the woman played by Denise Darcel hatch a plan to make off with the gold themselves. Burt and Denise for selfish reasons but Gary intends to give it to the people who are fighting to oust the emperor. There are many wonderful scenes including displays of fancy sharp shooting at the emperor's palace and also of a festival in a small Mexican town with brightly colored costumes and decorations. Wonderful acting performances all around and a very entertaining film.

The Cowboy and the Lady was released in 1938 and is a very funny, charming story about a wealthy young woman played by Merle Oberon whose father is running for president. She has a very boring life and is not allowed to have much fun so one night she rebels and goes to a night club to dance but unbeknownst to her it's also a gambling den which is raided by the police. In order to keep her out of any more trouble her father sends her to his house in Palm Springs. Here she meets a cowboy played by Gary who is in town for the rodeo. He's from Montana (in real life he was from Montana) and he's making the rodeo circuit looking for a wife. She pretends to be a ladies maid so no one will discover her real identity of a presidential candidates daughter and she and Gary fall in love. He proposes to her but she brushes him off because she knows her father wouldn't approve of her marrying a cowboy. Her heart gets the better of her however and she catches the boat he's sailing to Galveston on just as it's leaving. While on the trip they get married and she decides to head back home to Palm Springs while he finishes up his tour with the rodeo then they will meet back up at his Montana ranch. However before that can happen he discovers that she lied to him about who she was. But don't worry, it has a happy ending and is just a joy to watch. My favorite scene is of Gary on his ranch pretending to play house in the new home he's building. It's just a frame so all the workers on the ranch can see him pretending to seat his wife at the dinner table and then also pretending to eat. When he's caught he invites them all inside and serves them imaginary drinks!!!

good.......2007-01-04

i have enjoyed this movie since i was a child and its a great movie.

Seriously Lacking..........2005-12-29

I was extremely disappointed with this movie. This movie really sucks compared to the first one. First a kid named Justin becomes a Power Ranger after another one is injured and the character and the acting just doesn't cut it. What also sucks is that Kimberly and Jason from the original Mighty Morphin PRs are there and it is clear that Tommy still have feelings for Kimberly and as a fan of the Tommy/Kimberly romance Kat being there just ruins everything. Divatox is cool as a villian but doesn't compare to Rita and Ivan Ooze as she is too conceited and superficial which gets annoying after a while. Overall, at this point the series Power Rangers has changed so much that what made the Power Rangers popular is completely GONE. I can't even identify with the characters anymore. EVERYTHING has changed. The only thing I did like was the technological advances in their Zords and their gadgets. Thats it.

NOT for young children.......2005-12-19

My 3 year old son got so bored watching this movie, although he is a big fan of power rangers (he has to see every dvd he owns every day at least once) his complain was that the power rangers only wear their costumes in 2 or 3 scenes.

Power Rangers DVD.......2005-08-27

For the product being used, it was in perfect condition. Very pleased with my purchase!

Turbo Power Baby!!!.......2005-06-03

ok at first I didn't think this movie would be any good, I wasn't a big fan of katherine and don't even remember tanya but forgetting that It actually turned out to be a really good movie especially seeing as how not only was there there the now infamous
"Shift Into Turbo" line but more importantly fans of the kim/tommy relationship will be very happy seeing as how there was the definate look of love when he find out what happened to her not to mention the times he's calling out to her and desperatly tryin to find her [don't want to give away those scenes]. Also, with a great plot that was a little better than the first movie and an awesome soundtrack there was just a hint of a little somthing going on with kimberly and jason so hopfully fans of the show will find somthing to talk about and find scenes in there that their gonna end up loving for a long time...my only problem was the end because they spent a fair amout of time on buildup with k/t -{{ remember the end credits anyone? he so wanted to hug her amoung other things}}- and to bring in the kat thing was a bad move, it lacked any feeling what so ever and was just fake in having it in there buy in spite of that I loved it alot.
PS- take not as i'm sure one of the only reasons why it ended that way was because with the series 1-3 and this alpha's magical christmas thing that i've just heard about and the stupid "letter" that i won't bring up i'm sure that they had it in there because ppl were asking about a possible reunite and it wasn't going to happen whick s#cks! I could go on but it's suppsed to be a review so i won't. But it was cool to see ernie in the end fight scene.

Scott, Dave, Rich, and Smitty--the Imagination Movers--make music that's as much for parents as kids. While their lyrics are aimed at the short set, their bouncy tunes evoke pop and funk acts like Smash Mouth, Devo, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (without any profanity or sexual innuendo). The first DVD from the New Orleans-based quartet, Stir It Up, features a heaping helping of material from both their CDs, Good Ideas and Calling All Movers. Lively videos alternate with energetic live performances, many of which feature audience participation. Some songs, like "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed)," combine both approaches. Fans of the Wiggles and Bob the Builder are sure to find themselves tapping their toes with abandon, while learning some useful lessons along the way, like the importance of remembering your manners ("Please and Thank You") and tidying up ("Clean My Room"). (Ages 2 to 7) --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Imagination Movers - Stir it Up.......2007-05-09

I love this DVD!!! My son, now 10 months doesn't watch a lot of TV but as a nightly time to relax ritual we pop this in and it's all singing and smiles. The songs all relate to learning things like eating healthy, brushing teeth, cleaning your room, so we sing the songs around the house as we do things given us even more smiles and making our daily routines fun. Of course my favorite part is our "Special" song that only Mommy can sing!

Imagination Movers - Stir it Up.......2007-03-09

This has been a great cd for our son, he enjoys the music and the dancing.

Great music and keeps the little ones moving!.......2007-02-20

The Imagination Movers are a great group of guys who we first saw during Playhouse Disney every morning. My grandson loves to watch this DVD, he comes running when he hears the music. The songs are fun and are about every day things, like snacks, sleeping in your own bed, brushing your teeth. They encourage the children to participate in the songs, which makes it even more fun.

BUT IT!!.......2007-01-10

I have two boys, and they go crazy over this dvd... This is the BEST "kid" music out there... you will love it!

from SherriAllen Reviews.......2005-08-16

Do you want your children to listen to songs filled with irresistable energy and positive messages that you can enjoy, too? Do you want them to get up and move -- dancing, clapping, hopping and stomping? Of course you do, and that's why you need to get them "Stir It Up," the first DVD released by the award-winning children's group Imagination Movers.

"Stir It Up" presents 15 songs in a mix of MTV-style (yet child appropriate) videos and performances from their live shows, with a few goofy skits added for fun. The songs successfully blend kid-friendly themes with a bouyant mix of hip/hop, rock, rockabilly, old school R&B, reggae and calypso beats. The choreography is simple and uncomplicated, making it easy for children to get on their feet and join in the fun.

So, by now you've figured out I like "Stir It Up," but the true test of a children's DVD is whether children like it. "Stir It Up" not only passes that test, it gets and A+ and extra credit! The first time I played the DVD for my distracted 3-year old, she was moving and grooving with the Imagination Movers seconds into the high-energy first song, "Recipe (Stir It Up)." She was encouraged to "Reach high, think big, work hard, [and] have fun" in "Calling All Movers." She found out bedtime doesn't have to be scary listening to "I Want My Mommy" and even learned that cleaning up can be fun from "Clean My Room." As soon as the DVD ended, she was begging me to "play it again, Mommy." Best of all, "Stir It Up" has survived the fickleness of a 3-year old, constantly remaining my child's favorite DVD for the past few months.

The sound and video are not as slick and polished as bigger-budget DVDs, but that doesn't matter. Children love the Imagination Movers and they love "Stir It Up!" "Stir It Up" is a must-have for your child's DVD library.

So maybe Brian O'Connor does like to play practical jokes on his little brother, Riley. And, maybe he doesn't clean his room or make his bed often enough to please his parents, but that's no reason to send him away to boarding school, is it? Brian's parents just won't settle for anything less than perfect, so they send him away to the "Perfect School." The grounds are pristine, the hallways are spotless, and the students that graduate really are perfect. Maybe a little too perfect.....

Great.......2007-04-23

This is a great movie. This is my ALL time favorite Goosebumps movie. I love them all, but this one is very simple to understand, and the twist is not to confusing, and the main character is likeable.

I reccomend this movie to anyone who likes Goosebumps. There is a lot of suspense in this movie. It's not the kind of movie that you want the good guy to loose. I was really afraid he would get caught in some of he scenes. There is a great twist at the end of this movie. I thought it would be something completely different. It is the best and probably is the best and easyist to understand. If you want to find out what this great twist is, BUY THIS MOVIE. I gaurentee you will like this movie. Here is what it is about.

The movie starts out when the main character Brian plays a prank on his little brother. Apperently he has done this before and his parents are sick of it, so they send him to a military type of school called the Perfect School. He then finds out that strange things are happening at the school. To find out what happens, see this movie!

Perfect School.......2007-01-02

This episode was alright. I thought the first episode was a little slow and nothing that exciting happened. On the second episode they explain everything thats going on. This episode is about a boy who gets sent away to the perfect school by his parents. He then realizes that theres something odd about the school. To find out more about this episode you should definetly watch it.

Perfect School gets a perfect score .......2006-09-11

The Perfect School is one of the best Goosebumps that my seven and nine year olds have ever seen. They liked the ending because it had a clever twist. It wasn't too scary and had just the right amount of suspense.

Scary House.......2007-01-02

This Dvd includes 2 episodes, the house of no return and the haunted house game. THe house of no return was good, but nothing that scary happened until right before the episode ended. I kind of wanted to know what would would happen next when this one was over. The haunted house game was good to. I found this episode to be more funny than scary. This one is about two kids who get trapped inside a scary game and then they try to escape. this dvd is definetly worth watching.

Ok there is not really an episode on this DVD called SCARY HOUSE.
But who really cares!? I actully sent a (...)letter to R.L. Stine asking him to release a GOOSEBUMPS SEASON on DVD, and so when Isaw this posted on borders.com I really thought this was a season of Goosebumps released to DVD. But whatcha' gonna' do? But I have to say for all you people who want a new GOOSEBUMPS DVD then stay the hell away from this! It's nothin' like Goosebumps, it's like the writers of MY TEACHER ATE MY HOMEWORK actully stepped over to write for GOOSEBUMPS, but no. I looked at the opening credits of of THE HOUSE OF NO RETURN(the first episode on this DVD) and it said teliplay by BILLY BROWN&DAN ANGLE.-THE BRIAN

This is the near-legendary video that started the trend of songs for kids on video in 1986. The footage of kids playing in houses and backyards has a delightful homemade quality and is anchored by the songs of Hap Palmer, once dubbed the "Bob Dylan of the diaper set." His songs do have a nice folksiness that is just right. From the very first song, "Piggy Toes," you can see where the video is aimed: the Sesame Street group of infants to 6-year-olds. Palmer has a gift for writing bouncy numbers that go beyond the normal subject matter. "My Mommy Comes Back" speaks to kids who are left at Grandma's or a day care center ("my mommy comes back, she always comes back..."). Other songs on the 30-minute tape include "Shout & Whisper," "Rolling," and the self-explanatory "Today I Took My Diapers Off." --Doug Thomas

Description

Hap Palmer's sing-a-long tune invite childern to clap their hands, stomp their feet, dance and act out the lyrics. Songs include, "Piggy Toes", "Security", and "Today I Took My Diapers Off" among others.

Triplet Mom's LIFESAVER.......2007-06-03

Ok, to begin with I had no idea who Hap was. I just knew that I didn't want my triplets hooked on broadcast TV stuff that was full of marketing, commercials, etc. So we ordered BabyFirstTV (kinda like HBO for babies) and during the programming they would show these videos. It didn't take long for me to notice that my kids were MESMERIZED by Palmer's music videos. I quickly recognized the prints and hairstyles from my own childhood (80's kid) and went on a search until I found the DVD's here. The kids LOVED them and now that they are almost two they actually ask for them by name. I would HIGHLY recommend these DVD's to anyone who is interested in exposing their children to music, rhyming, social skills, development skills, sillyness and laughter via your DVD player. I am not saying they take the place of actual experiences but they sure do enhance them. You don't know how handy it is to get your triplet toddlers to quickly cooperate and follow instructions by just singing a simple song to them. Anyway, long story short.... WE LOVE HAP PALMER AND THESE DVDs!

So glad I found it!.......2007-05-21

I can't believe they still make this on DVD! I bought this on VHS back in 1990 for my son and then my daughter. He is now 17 and she is 13 and I just had another baby. I thought about how much they used to love this video. I figured I would give it a shot and try to find it and here it is. My kids used to watch it non-stop when they were little. I ordered it and can't wait to get it for my new baby.

This video is so cheesy and silly and seemingly low budget but for some reason, I haven't met a baby who isn't mesmerized by it. I had it for my kids and I just bought it for my new neice. Works every time.

Great!.......2007-04-18

This was a great movie in our house. It taught the kids how to get dressed and use the potty. It is now gone since we sold it at a yard sale.

Fun never gets outdated, right? Songs for real life........2007-03-16

I was looking for some songs my 1 1/2 yr old could enjoy that were fun and cute and not commercial. She watches very little TV and when it's on, it's usually because I need her distracted. This fit the bill perfectly. Baby Einstein was boring her and she was reacting to those images in stores, but she loves songs so I bought this. The first time I watched this, I cracked up the whole time because it is a flashback to the 80's. The hair and the clothes are so funny (as a child of the 80's). It also has a very "filmed in my basement" feel to it. Average every day (and sometimes homely) kids dancing around and making mistakes, puppets with big strings, and some strange amateur footage but through it all the cutest songs come through. We both love the songs. They have a very parent, real life oriented theme. My favorite is "My mommy comes back, she never would forget me" (all about going to school and babysitters). Her favorite is "my doggie" (person in giant dog costume dancing). I also like "sometimes my blanket gets washed" and "sharing." You get the drift..songs about things you want kids to do. There is a bath song, potty song, and whispering song too.

Interesting for being Goosebumps........2006-07-20

This wasn't the cream of the crop in Goosebumps episodes, but these 3 episodes were okay. I may be wrong, but these 3 episodes were never actually books, at least in the original Goosebumps book series. It shows in the layout of these episodes. There's just that feel that these were "made for TV." In any event, they're worth a watch if you're into Goosebumps. Also, if you're interested, please email me at pwherman@gmail.com for information on obtaining a complete 7 DVD-set of Goosebumps episodes.

Not the best Goosebumps out there.......2006-06-13

I bought this for my 2 daughters (3 & 7) who borrowed a goosebumps video from a friend and loved it. We bought 3 goosebumps episodes based on the reviews (Chillogy, Deep Trouble, Scary House). Chillogy was terrible. It was neither scary (in the goosebumps way) nor very interesting. It was really more of a super-weak attempt at a twilight zone episode for kids that I would guess was done to have enough episodes for a season. The other two Goosebumps were exactly what we expected. They were scary in a kid-friendly way and had stories that kept the kids engaged. I would highly recommend Deep Trouble & Scary House for younger kids. If you really want to check out Chillogy, rent it before buying.

I thought it was realy scary, I covered my eyes 3 times. I almost stopped breathing.I took the blanket off my face just in time for the best part.My grandfather kept telling me it was just a movie so that I would finish watching. That was horrifying terrifying but we liked it thanks.

WHO IS YOUR NEIGHBOR???.......2006-01-13

In this movie Hannah, a very weird girl goes around being ignored, she writes letters to this girl, her only friend who never replies back, her parents are never home and this leaves you wondering what is really going on? I wont give any spoilers but see this movie if you love the cheezy acting and fun horror!I laugh everytime! Great twist!

Favorite Part: The boys deaf Mom, and then hannah goes "Your mom makes me want to learn sign language"

This movie is good, but they should really make a Monster Blood DVD.

Good Episode.......2005-10-28

I think that The Ghost Next Door is a really good episode. It is kindof scary and I think its the best episode of the fourth season. It's also kind of creepy with the music and lighting in this movie.

A movie that tried to become scary, but failed.......2005-10-21

A movie that tried to become scary, but failed. Yep, that's what the Ghost Next Door did. It is a rather odd movie. The thing with Goosebumps movies... They never follow the book. Never. It is about a twisted child named Hannah Fairchild. She see's this black ghastly ( to her. But not to me) image. She dials September 11 ( 911). The phone doesn't work. She stupidly runs outside. A kid says boo. She screams. That's the movie. Sorry, but this movie didn't go excellent in my mind. See Chillogy if you want a goosebumps movie!

Good Choice!.......2007-05-14

I purchased Dinotopia the Series for my 11 year old son. He had just finished reading the book that the series was based on for a school project. He just loved the series, as did I. I would recommend this as a good family series.

not subtitled/closed-captioned.......2007-04-21

Do not buy if hearing impaired. Cheap people who made the DVD did not subtitle or close-caption. Saw original show on TV and it was captioned.

Not necessarily a sci-fi fan..........2007-01-14

...But I am, however, a big fan of actor Shiloh Strong. Thanks for bringing him back from obscurity. He's still swoonworthy after all these years!

But seriously, the series is actually really good. It's got a lot of action, the acting is pretty good, and the FX are impressive. The one thing that I was unhappy about was the special features. I had expected them to be more about the series and less about the origional mini series. I was sorely mistaken. They were, as it seems, also more geared towards a younger audience, which kind of made me feel like the narration was meant for a 5yr old.

Oh well, it's still a great show and I enjoyed it immensely!

What a bummer.......2006-12-27

I really liked this show. Not intellectually stimulating but plain fun and I can't believe they left it where they did with no plans to continue. It figures.

Initially very dissapointed with the change of actors - but otherwise pretty good.......2006-12-23

My son (now 10) and our family fell in love with the original Emmy award winning Dinotopia mini-series with it's 'all star' cast. That's also available as two DVD set edited into a superb long film with interesting 'making of' extras. My son absolutely couldn't tolerate this spin off series when they changed all the actors, and has only just started watching it a year or two after we bought it on DVD. He really likes the series now (as he admits he has forgotten what the orginal cast were like).

This Dinotopia series has a more jocular mood with the old charactor's presented in a more likeable way than the original moody and angry or pious (bordering on pompous in the Mayor's case) tone of the original. However I preferred the darker original style, and missed classy Brit's Katie Carr and Jim Carter as the Dinotopians and American's Wentworth Miller and David Thewlis as the believable in-fighting step-brother's coping with their sudden change of lifestyle and recent loss of their father. I also really, really missed Lee Evans as dinosaur Zippo's voice, Terry Jone's as the messenger's birds voice and Tyron Leitso as hustler Cyrus Crabb. However I really like the fact this Dinotopia series DVD set has all the episodes listed seperately so that the cliffhanger, end music and titles remain, greatly helping to set the pace. I felt the merging of the original mini-series into a single very long film on DVD was less succesful than keeping the episodes seperate as screened - which also allows an episode before bed-time for the kids.

The 'unknown' new cast of this spin-off series make a good go of it though, but I do find the change of mood and cast very annoying. I wish they had just bought in completely new character's with this new cast and ignored the previous mini-series. But of course any Dinotopia is better than nothing. Other than the whinges above, this is a very fun series, less serious and Dino-preaching than the original and with more of the Pirate's of the Caribbean feel (as it now has pirates). It is therefore probably well suited to older pre-teens and young teenagers (probably boys mainly). Once we get going, I'm sure we'll all enjoy the series, as on TV we kept missing vital episodes. This 3 DVD set has all 13 episodes listed separately plus a few 'featurettes' on making Dinotopia etc... So overall, very recommended, particularly as no more promised Dinotopia seems to have materialised. We got it very cheap via Amazon resellers.

Why is it that, in such a cynical age, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren't more wary of a backlash against adorableness? Just when pop culture's more cantankerous hounds were harboring hopes that the preeminent pair of sugar-and-spice girls would grow into a couple of gawky teenagers, they've proved themselves more lovable than ever with Winning London. Here, they're tasked with delivering semimature subject matter--straightening out stalled romances, stifling an overactive competitive streak--but they come off as self-assured as ever. The scene is set across the pond, where Chloe and Riley (Mary-Kate and Ashley), along with other members of their high school's Model U.N. team, are strutting their strategic mock peace-bringing stuff at an international competition. While Chloe captures the heart of an upper-crust English boy, Riley sets her sights on teammate Brian, who's clueless enough to call her kiddo. After a breakdown in her budding romance, Chloe, who's accustomed to winning, learns to chill out and consider the more sporting side of competitions. This being a Mary-Kate and Ashley vehicle, shopping for schoolgirl-swanky ensembles is involved, as is boogying with the boys at hot nightspots. Sightseeing excursions to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, among other places, feel thrown in as educational tidbits for parents' sake; better to buy this video purely for fun--Mary-Kate and Ashley may not be known as the brainiest pair, but London aside, with this movie they'll continue to win hearts. --Tammy La Gorce

Description

Mary-Kate and Ashley get the royal treatment taking on the world in this exciting British adventure. They jet to London to represent their high school at an international competition of the Model United Nations, and have the time of their lives as they enjoy the thrill of competition and take in the sights of London by day and by night. Mary-Kate and Ashley are out on the town visiting the landmarks, wearing the hippest fashions, hanging out with the cutest guys and dancing at the hottest club. Winning minds, winning hearts, winning fun. Winning London!

The Best Mary-Kate and Ashley Movie Yet!.......2007-01-11

This isn't Shakespeare, but it's a very fun video. The guys in this one are the best looking of any video Mary-Kate and Ashley have had so far. The plot is predictable, but it has- as with all Olsen twins movies- a happy ending, and will leave you with a happy feeling.

My roomate and I fell in love with it when it first came out, and we're still watching it many years later!
