Product Description

Bertie Wooster is feeling a bit shy of the mark when his new valet reports for duty, bringing with him a much-needed cure for the effects of the previous night's excesses. On the strength of this sterling debut, Jeeves is formally retained, and the unsuspecting servant is thrown headlong into the glorious mix of overbearing aunts, unbidden guests, friends in need and romantic entanglements that is Bertie's lot in life.Brilliantly adapted from P.G. Wodehouse's beloved stories, THE ORIGINAL JEEVES & WOOSTER stars Stephen Fry (Wilde, Cold Comfort Farm) and Hugh Laurie (Sense & Sensibility, Black Adder) as the peerless gentleman's gentleman and his well-meaning but chronically befuddled master. This long-awaited collection features the five premiere episodes of the series hailed as irresistible by critics and beloved by millions of fans worldwide. Disc One: Episodes 1-3Disc Two: Episodes 4-5

P.G. Wodehouse's much-loved stories about Bertie Wooster and his brilliantly clever valet, Jeeves, were brought faithfully to life in Jeeves and Wooster, starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry as master and servant. The scripts of this perfectly cast production retain all the sparkling wit of Wodehouse's prose, and it's hard to see how any future adaptation of his work could surpass this wonderfully funny series.

This boxed set contains the entire first season of Jeeves and Wooster. In "Jeeves Takes Charge," young man-about-town Bertie Wooster employs a new valet called Jeeves, and not a moment too soon. Thanks to his Aunt Agatha, Bertie faces the terrible prospect of marriage to the statuesque Honoria Glossop, and only Jeeves can save the day. "Tuppy and the Terrier" finds Bertie in trouble again when he loses Aunt Agatha's dog. Further aunt-related complications arise when Bertie's chum Tuppy falls for our hero's cousin Angela. Aunt Dahlia is not amused. An uncle in love with a waitress, a trip to the country, a speedy choirboy, and a secret betting syndicate all lead to trouble in "The Purity of the Turf." Jeeves, of course, is the only one who can put things right.

Jeeves and Wooster really hits its stride in the final episodes of the first series, "The Hunger Strike" and "Brinkley Manor." When Bertie visits Aunt Dahlia, he is called upon to solve the romantic problems of his friends Tuppy Glossop (in love with cousin Angela) and the delightful Gussy Fink-Nottle (in love with Madeleine Basset, a young lady who believes the stars to be God's daisy chain.) Unwisely, Bertie decides to cook up his own plan and before long disaster strikes. Aunt Dahlia's superb chef Anatole gives his notice, and Bertram is to blame. Thank goodness for Jeeves. --Simon Leake

Pre House Hugh.......2007-05-15

It is hard to believe the acerbic Dr. House had his origins in silly British comedy. Hugh Laurie and Stepehn Fry were quite charming and often hilarious in Wooster and Jeeves. I am enjoying this series. Might I suggest the Blackadder series. Hugh Laurie is hilarious in this as well. Add Rowan Atkinson and this is classic British humor.

New to Jeeves & Wooster.......2007-04-23

I have recently been exposed to the wonderful world of P.G. Wodehouse and the Wooster & Jeeves series of books. As a result, I was excited to discover the television series. The Complete First Season of Wooster & Jeeves is exceptional. The lead actors are outstanding and have a wonderful on-screen rapport. I am excited to watch the next seasons. My only complaint is that there are only a couple of seasons rather than 10 years worth.

This is 5 star fun! I highly recommend this series!

tyrjerker.......2007-01-13

Loved watching a young Hugh Laurie, although Jeeves was the star of this show. I seem to remember though a different first episode, with Jeeves tricking(?) Wooster into hiring him. Oh well still an excellent series.

Hilarious! .......2007-01-12

I bought the series for Hugh Laurie and I found out that Stephen Fry totally captivated me. One of the funniest British comedies around--and overall, a program worth watching again and again just as the Wodehouse novels the series is based on is worth reading more than once.

Bertie Wooster (Laurie) is a well-to-do young Britisher who spends his time in idle fun. Jeeves (Stephen Fry) is a valet (gentleman's gentleman) who's much smarter than his master and keeps his charge out of trouble.

The first episode is a typical Wooster scene. He's in court for playing a minor prank, so hung over he can't talk. He somehow manages to direct a cab to get him home and who shows up on his door, but Jeeves. Jeeves has been sent by the agency to be his valet. Jeeves gets Wooster his patented hangover remedy, turns a disreputable flat into organization in short order.

Other episodes take Jeeves and Wooster to Wooster's Aunt's country home where Wooster tries unsucessfully to help with a cousin's romance, another involves Wooster dodging the matrimonial bullet--they're all funny and all worth the price charged.

Bertie and Jeeves at their best.......2007-01-12

If you have read P.G. Wodehouse's series on the impeccable butler Jeeves and loved the books, you will not be disappointed in this film series. Stephen Fry is an amazing actor, and even though he is well over 6 feet tall, dominates a room here by his character's acerbic wit. He simply IS Jeeves.

"If you can't tend to your own planet, [then] you don't deserve to live here".......2005-09-07

+++++

This disc is a DVD double feature having one movie on each side.

(1) The Arrival (5 stars)

Radio Astronomer Zane Zaminsky (Charlie Sheen) believes he's picked up a cosmic noise that signals ET. Trouble is his boss Phil Gordian (Ron Silver) doesn't believe him. So Zane tries to reestablish contact, which he does but this time the extraterrestrial signal is Earth-based. At the same time, an UCLA environmentalist Ilana Green (Lindsay Crouse) discovers from her data that the global average temperature is predicted to rise an unprecedented dozen degrees over the next decade.

For both Zane and Ilana, the search for answers leads them to Mexico where Zane discovers a mysterious and secretive power plant that's operated by ETs. Through misunderstanding, he's also arrested for the murder of Ilana. Zane must escape with his proof of an alien invasion.

The second half of this movie is truly fascinating. The special effects (considering that this movie was shot on a limited budget) are effective and "smart." These special effects do not get in the way of the excellent acting of Charlie Sheen and Ron Silver (who gives an especially chilling performance).

Some of the scientific topics discussed in this movie are:

greenhouse gases, ET intelligence, radio astronomy, global warming, terraforming, and space aliens.

The DVD extra of this movie gives a good summary of this movie:

"A [ET] signal never meant to be heard,
A secret never meant to be shared,
A scientist never meant to survive."

I was absorbed in this story from beginning to end.

(2) Arrival II (3 stars-I'm being generous here)

After an exhilarating first movie, I was truly disappointed in this sequel.

We're told that Zane has died but before doing so he has sent information packets about "an alien conspiracy" to five people. Three of the most important ones are his stepbrother, computer programmer Jack (Pat Muldoon), an investigative reporter Bridget (Jane Sibbet), and a professor named Nelson Zarcoff (Michael Sarrrazin). (No one from the first movie appears in this sequel.)

The aliens know that Zane has sent these information packets to these people. (Question: how would they know?) The movie then becomes one long chase scene with the aliens having trouble getting to Jack and Bridget.

This movie goes for shock value. There is an unnecessary full-frontal nude scene and decent special effects. (I decided to give this movie a 3 instead of a 2 because of these decent special effects.)

There's only one true extra with this movie: a theatrical trailer.

While the first movie kept me absorbed in the story, this one did not.

Finally, the DVD as a whole has practically perfect picture and sound quality.

In conclusion, "The Arrival" is an effective, intelligent science fiction movie that unfortunately gave birth to a disappointing sequel.

(1996/1998; 110 min/100 min; widescreen; 40 scenes/36 scenes)

Arrival=excellent, Arrival II=skip it.......2004-12-17

Arrival is a fantastic movie for the 1990s. It ties in so many threads from the conspiracy culture that developed in the 1990s into a coherent whole. Global warming is the result of intentional "terraforming" of earth by an alien race, planning on conquering Earth. NASA is in on the plot. Any listener to Art Bell will recognize the themes. What a great premise for a movie.

Charlie Sheen plays an engaging, quirky character. He plays a radio astronomer who works for SETI and discovers the plot while listening to the stars one night. Nobody believes him. Everyone thinks he is crazy. But of course, he is not crazy.

Arrival II. Skip it. It is a horrible movie. The plotting is completely formulaic. The characters are wooden. The dialog is pathetic. The film even lacks some of the charm of scifi movies that are so bad they are good as comedy (e.g. Plan 9 from Outerspace).

An interesting sci fi thriller and a disappointing sequel.......2004-05-23

I think they put "The Arrival" (4 stars) and "Arrival 2" (2 stars) on the two sides of the same DVD because they knew that was the only way anybody would ever get around to watching the lame sequel to a pretty good science fiction film. In "The Arrival" writer-director David Twohy comes up with an interesting culprit to explain global warming. The 1996 thriller begins with scientist Ilana Green (Lindsay Crouse) finding something in Antarctica that should not be there. Meanwhile, the hero of our tale, radio astronomer named Zane Zaminski (Charlie Sheen with a goatee), is working on a S.E.T.I. project by looking where nobody in their right mind should be looking, in the FM band. To his surprise and the shock of his colleague, Cal (Richard Schiff), he finds something there. This could be the biggest scientific discovery of the 20th century by Zane's boss, Phil Gordian (Ron Silver), not only refuses to get excited, he destroys the evidence. Then some strange guys in suits show up to make sure they have all of the evidence.

Clearly Zane has discovered something he is not supposed to know about. But part of the problem is that he has no clue what he has stumbled upon or why it should get people killed. The other key part of the problem is that Zane is now unemployed and no longer has access to a gigantic radio telescope. So he has to, basically, build one, which is how "The Arrival" lets you know that Twohy has paid attention to the science of the story (okay, I know nothing about science and this could all be nonsense, but there is an effort being made to connect the scientific dots). Zane effective does build his own radio telescope, and if this new phase of his old obsession has made him lose his girl friend, Char (Teri Polo), at least he has Kiki (Tony T. Johnson) the smart street kid who lives next door to take up the slack.

Of course the audience gets to figure things out a bit before Zane does, but then he is distracted by the most ingenious attempts to kill someone is bath tub I have seen since "Final Destination." I checked out this film because I saw one of Twohy's more recent efforts, "Below," and again he shows some creativity in presenting the conventions of the science fiction-thriller genre. Sheen's performance is an interesting mix of paranoia and anger, sometimes switching back and forth between the two in an instance if somebody looks at him funny or is just funny looking. I did not bite on the obvious red herring as to who the ultimate villain was in "The Arrival," but I did not see the final revelation coming either, so that is a good thing. Ultimately, I did not find "The Arrival" to be a classic science fiction film, but for a modern version of the "B" movie it is very good.

Unfortunately the 1998 sequel, "The Arrival II," makes it clear from the start that things are going to go awry. We get a news report that Zane has died under mysterious circumstances while hiding out with the Eskimos. Every since Newt and Hicks were killed during the opening credits of "Aliens3" I have a visceral reaction to similar attempts to clear the decks for the new characters in the new film. However, it turns out that before his death Zane sent packets of information about the alien menace to a few key individuals, including his half-brother, Jack Addison (Patrick Muldoon). He has to be a blood relation because that makes things personal as opposed to merely being concerned with the fate of the world. Those who received the packages from beyond gathered in a meat locker, where Jack meets reporter Bridget Riordan (Jane Sibbett), and Professor Nelson Zarcoff (Michael Sarrazin). It looks like we might be assembling a team of intelligent people in key positions who will be able to work together to stop the menace. But, no, this is going to be primarily a chase film.

The biggest problem with this sequel is that once you understand what the aliens can do and where this script has them embedded in the government, then it is really game over, they win, hope you use really heavy sun screen in the world to come. But on a more intimate level as much as the first film plays fair with the science and the audience, this one insists on yanking our chains. In the first film there is a wonderful sequence where Zane, denied access to radio telescopes, creates his own by hooking up neighborhood satellite dishes that he can use in the dead of night when their owners are asleep. This might be nonsense, but in the context of the film it works. In this one Jack is a computer hacker who can work his magic on the alien computer when in "reality" he would be lucky to figure out how to turn it on let alone do significant programming.

This was Mark David Perry's first script and given the detail and flair of Twohy's original what we have here just pales in comparison, even with a gratuitous nude scene thrown into the mix early on. There is not much the actors can do with this mess and there are few times in the film when they come close to catching the appropriate emotions of the moment since the script keeps insisting they be a step behind in figuring out what is happening. As I said, the only reason to watch "The Arrival II" (a.k.a. "The Second Arrival") is that it is not that hard to flip over the DVD. However, you really would be better off just watching the first side twice.

Arrival 2-bad, but somehow still kind of watchable........2002-08-11

(warning: review will give spoilers for the original The Arrival, a great sci-fi thriller that I enthusiastically recommend)

The Arrival II is an unnecessary follow-up to the original, an inventive and suspenseful sci-fi thriller. Of course, unnecessary follow-ups are a rule of thumb, so a sequel to The Arrival seemed pretty inevitable, especially when you consider its ending. Too bad this "continuation" lacks all the qualities of its predecessors, namely in good writing, acting, and inspired direction. I actually purchased the Arrival II on DVD...as it was a double feature with the original. Before I even popped the film in, I was expecting ...from the first minute, so the best thing I can say is that the movie turned out to be a bit more watchable than I expected.

The Arrival II is set in Montreal, two months after the events of the original. Radio astronomer Zane Zaminski has died of an apparent heart attack, but he did manage to send out info of the alien invasion to his most trusted colleagues, as well as to his stepbrother, Jack Addison (Patrick Muldoon), and a news reporter (Jane Sibbett, Ross' lesbian ex-wife from Friends). This group becomes the targets of the aliens, until the only survivors are Muldoon and Sibbett, who go on the run together and try to expose the aliens' nefarious plans.

The Arrival II suffers distinctly from a lack of freshness, which is much needed in a sequel that's meant to continue a running story. All the material we have here is pretty much repeat. Basically, we know there are aliens out there disguised as human beings and they're whole goal is to terraform the Earth and mold it into an environment suitable for their own colonization. Oh, and let's not forget that spherical object with a strong vacuum pull.

Like the original, we've got our "intelligent" protagonist (we find this out because everyone keeps telling him he's smarter than he thinks) and blonde chick that plays as love interest. Problem is, these two are played by Patrick Muldoon and Jane Sibbett, neither of whom I've seen in anything on film or TV that suggests they can act. Muldoon is mostly expressionless, though occasionally has that "whoa, dude" act that would give Freddie Prinze, Jr. a run for his money. Sibbett is simply dreadful as the reporter. Let's put it this way, those who found Courtney Cox unconvincing as Gail Weathers in the Scream series will be shouting "Come back! All is forgiven!" The other performances aren't worth noting, except maybe Catherine Blythe, who gives the movie its sole bit of very gratuitous nudity.

The script has little to none of the intelligence of the original and it often mistakes scientific mumbo-jumbo as smart screenwriting. The plot's got a lot of twists and turns, mostly involving a guessing game of who's human and who's not. None of these little revelations are the slightest bit surprising, and they might even induce a few scoffs here and there.

The special effects on display range from pretty bad to hilariously awful, the worst bit probably being when one of the aliens reveals its true identity. There are a lot of other clunkers, such as the cheesy-looking holographic displays and the destruction of a power plant in the film's conclusion. Yeah, visual effects themselves usually don't determine a movie's quality, but they sure don't help the film here.

Directed by Kevin S. Tenney, the same guy who gave us the fun Night of the Demons, but has yet to have helmed anything worth seeing since then. For some reason, though, The Arrival II is still somewhat watchable (meaning you won't want to stab yourself in the eye), probably because the concept of aliens disguised as humans is intriguing enough on its own. Too bad this suspenseless and absurd sequel can't capitalize on the original's unique ideas.
* 1/2 out of *****

Arrival - 3 stars...Arrival II - junk! NOT PG13~~ RATED R!.......2002-06-04

...these two movies are distinctly different, and only Arrival I is PG13. Arrival II, however, is rated R and contains an unecessary and EXPLICIT SEX scene with full frontal nudity during and after. This had nothing to do with the movie plot and since it was already an enormous flop from the first one, only tended to degrade it worse. If these were separate movies, I'd keep one and trash the other. As it is, I'm stuck for having bought them as a dual dvd. Don't waste your money.

If a top-level spy decided he didn't want to be a spy anymore, could he just walk into HQ and hand in his resignation? With all that classified knowledge in his head, would they let him become a civilian again? The answer, according to the 1960s British TV series The Prisoner, is no. In fact, instead of receiving a gold watch for his years of faithful service, our hero (played by Patrick McGoohan) is followed home and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a picturesque village where everyone is known by number. But where is it? Why was he brought here? And, most important, how does he leave?

As we learn in "Arrival," Number 6 can't leave. The Village's "citizens" might dress colorfully and stroll around its manicured gardens while a band plays bouncy Strauss marches, but the place is actually a prison. Surveillance is near total, and if all else fails, there's always the large, mysterious white ball that subdues potential escapees by temporarily smothering them. Who runs the Village? An ever-changing Number 2, who wants to know why Number 6 resigned. If he'd only cooperate, he's told, life can be made very pleasant. "I've resigned," he fumes. "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own." So sets the stage for the ultimate battle of wills: Number 6's struggle to retain his privacy, sanity, and individuality against the array of psychological and physical methods the Village uses to break him.

"Free for All" sees the Village gripped with campaign fever (it's a "democracy," Number 6 is told, though he retains a healthy skepticism). He's encouraged to run for the job of Number 2 against the incumbent, but what's the point? And why is the Village so keen to have a defiant troublemaker like Number 6 take the reins of power? In "Dance of the Dead," Number 2 stages an elaborate costume ball that turns into a nightmarish courtroom scene--and guess who's on trial?

An allegory of the conflict between person and society, individuality and conformity, and freedom and slavery, The Prisoner asks more questions than it answers, and that can be a maddening experience for viewers who like their TV neat and tidy. McGoohan (Braveheart, Escape from Alcatraz) also created, wrote, and directed much of the show, yet it's his screen presence that sets its tone. His terse body language, sardonic half-smile, and simmering anger at his imprisonment are used to maximum effect in scripts that emphasize strict word economy and witty repartee.

So does he ever escape? And does he ever find out who Number 1 is? "Questions are a burden to others," the Village saying goes. "Answers, a prison for oneself." Besides, only 14 more episodes until all is revealed. Or is it? --Steve Landau

Description

"Free for All"--Elections are about to be held in the Village, including the position of Number Two. Will Number Six run, and can he win the election, and his freedom? "Dance of the Dead"--Sadistic, secretive experiments are performed on Number Six as the Village prepares for its annual carnival.

Questions are a burden to others.......2007-05-24

SPOILER ALERT!!! What follows divulges show secrets. If you haven't seen The Prisoner, do NOT read on. (I am assuming that most people at all interested in a show as old as The Prisoner have already seen it.)

Now, with that said, The Prisoner is easily, hands down, without any reservations the single greatest TV show in history. (A close second, in my book, would be the first four Doctors on the ORIGINAL run of Doctor Who.) The Prisoner wasn't only entertaining, it was thought provoking. To call it "Kafkaesque" is now cliché, though its similarities to Kafka's The Trial are many and striking. In The Trial a man is told he must defend himself in a bizarre court but cannot learn what the charge is. He never does. In The Prisoner a man learns he is a prisoner in a place called "The Village," a bizarre prison disguised as a luxury resort. The reasoning behind the prison is that prisoners will be so taken with the luxuries at hand that they will find no reason to escape. For No. 6, the sheer fact that he is not free to escape if he wishes is reason enough to do it. He spends the entire series trying to escape.

After discovering that the man in charge of The Village is himself (yes, No. 6 is No. 1), he manages to leave the Village. Or does he? Notice that when he finally gets home his door opens on its own, just like the doors in The Village. For those who didn't catch on, McGoohan later (in an interview) told us what it all means: No. 6 never escaped. He's still in The Village. Society IS The Village. If you live in society, you ARE a prisoner. But you pretty much HAVE to live in a society, which means you pretty much HAVE to be a prisoner. There is no escaping this fact. As McGoohan had achieved fame with Danger Man, he discovered he was prisoner to a contract he deeply regretted signing. He wanted to escape. Ironically, he was playing a spy on Danger Man, and resigned as star of the show. He then made The Prisoner, about a man who quits his job as a government agent. This has created much debate as to whether No. 6 in The Prisoner is in fact meant to be Drake from Danger Man. McGoohan has said no, but The Prisoner's other main writer and script editor has emphatically said yes. You decide. (I'll go with McGoohan, as I think his ultimate point is that everybody is No. 6. He once said that at the end of the show, he wishes the words "The Beginning" had appeared.)

McGoohan is obviously a libertarian. He despises bureaucracy, authority, and big government. He has said he loves the first amendment, adding emphatically that there can be no freedom without privacy. Thus we see why the greeting in The Village, "be seeing you," is so ominous to No. 6. Sure, it sounds like "see you later," but is really a way of reminding everyone in The Village that they are always under surveillance.

The show and No. 6's character traits and struggle has stayed with me, ever since I first saw it as a child. McGoohan is easily my favorite actor, and it is a true shame he did not star in more movies. I've always loved his devotion to his wife and children, how he never lets his work come before them, how he refuses to film any type of love scene because he doesn't want to kiss anyone but his wife, etc. He is truly a remarkable man. It saddens me that he had to turn down the parts of Gandalf and Dumbledor, due to his bad health, as he would have been perfect in both of them. I am very glad for his part in Braveheart, however, especially considering that before this he had spent much of the early 90s in a coma! Mel Gibson wanted McGoohan in the film as he is also a great Prisoner fan, and even (supposedly) toyed with the idea of helping McGoohan make the film version, playing No. 6 himself. Though I simply cannot think of any other actor who could "become" No. 6 (the role being a pure expression of McGoohan's rare personality), Gibson is about as good of a choice as one could make given the current options. In fact, AMC is currently toying with remaking the entire series, and guess what their greatest obstacle reportedly is? Surprise, surprise: they simply can't find anyone who can pull the role off. The actor would almost have to share McGoohan's convictions to be able to do it, becoming almost an embodiment of pure defiance and anger. The Prisoner is, after all, the single greatest showdown of the individual vs. the collective ever put to film, in my book trumping even The Fountainhead, Bullitt, and Enemy of the People (though Ibsen profoundly influenced McGoohan).

Interestingly, McGoohan and fellow Prisoner star Alexis Kanner later made a film together. Like much of McGoohan's film work, it's not available on DVD (which here is an absolute shame given that 1: McGoohan is one of the best actors alive and 2: this film is simply brilliant.) It's called Kings and Desperate Men, and has many of the same elements that The Prisoner contained. I've always been shocked that Prisoner fans haven't rallied for this film to be released on DVD. Perhaps they've never heard of it. In it, McGoohan's character is taken prisoner (literally) by a group of idealistic youthful liberal misfits. He laughs that they think they're in control simply because they have a shotgun, and proceeds to unravel them all with his wits. His libertarian views come out here as much as in The Prisoner, as his character scoffs at the moral crusaders' silly liberal ranting, and exposes the fact that their leader really doesn't know what he's talking about, and that if what he wanted actually occurred, chaos and anarchy would result. (Now that I've brought Prisoner fans' attention to Kanner and McGoohan's followup to The Prisoner, let's see how fast all 8 copies that exist on Amazon are snatched up. If you like it, try to do something to help get this released on DVD. I've written Anchor Bay several times.)

Rover Rules!!!.......2007-05-14

The real star of this show is the weather balloon known as Rover! This thing can swim, float in the air and do all sorts of amazing things in capturing Number 6. This DVD set has four episodes that prove that especially in Free For All,which is my favourite. The whole series is a classic in its 17 episode format!!

A few words to the wise.......2006-06-20

Yes the Prisoner series was expertly photographed (for 1966 anyway). It had very good Shakespearean acting but that means it isn't much like real life as acting Bard-style is pretty unrealistic. It should be awfully hard for modern-day americans to identify so well with Shakespearean-acting old time Europeans. The central character/actor who plays Number 6 is a nervous type in reallife. In the book The Official Prisoner Companion it states a crewmember testifying that the lead actor indeed had a problem with intimacy on the set of The Prisoner. Raed that book, that info in it and draw your own conclusions about what that says about this man's attitudes towards women in reallife. Yes he's married to a lady but question is what does this say about his attitude towards women. Lastly, it is only a tv show not real life don't try too hard to make perfect sense out of it and remember tv is never quite like real life.

To the person who commented. I did review the show. The actor having a nervous personality affected the character of the show.

A few words to the wise.......2006-06-20

Yes the Prisoner series was expertly photographed (for 1966 anyway). It had very good Shakespearean acting but that means it isn't much like real life as acting Bard-style is pretty unrealistic.

Calling this 1996 science fiction thriller "a glorified B movie," isn't a criticism. Writer-director David Twohy managed to get interesting material on the screen despite a limited budget, and the film is just believable enough to be satisfying as a tale of paranoid conspiracy. If you can ignore the hokey parts and accept Charlie Sheen as noted radio astronomer Zane Ziminski, you'll get thoroughly involved when the reception of an alien radio signal leads him to Mexico and to a huge underground power plant operated by aliens bent on the eventual takeover of Earth. Ron Silver is suitably chilling as the astronomer's boss, whose real identity is more horrifying than Ziminski ever imagined. The underground alien lair is memorably creepy, and Twohy's film is just smart enough to qualify as more than a guilty pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

The Arrival.......2007-02-14

First of two movies on the subject. I have spent much time studying this subject from a more scientific level and can say by reading between the lines there is much mythos icons here. But you will have to dig for them. If that study motivates you the movie rates a 4. If it is entertainment you want it is a 2.

So bad, it's good.......2006-07-05

I saw this movie the week it opened in the movie theater. It was so laughably bad, I went back again to view it with several of my friends. Since then, this has become my favorite bad movie of all time.

The Arrival is the kind of film that makes perfect fodder for bad movie nights with friends, or were it made in the early 60s, an incredible episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Truly horrendous acting, a weak script, lack of directorial anything, cheesy special effects combine to create a truly awful B-Movie much in the same vein as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or the original "The Posideon Adventure."

Underated creepy and scary "B" movie........2006-04-16

A radio astronomer stumbles across some aliens talking across his airwaves, reports it to his supervisor and is immediately relieved of his duties.

Next this now fired scientist gets a job installing satellite dishes and this enables him to dig deepter into whatever it is that is going on.

We find out along the way that maybe global warming isn't necessary "an accident" and the cute neighborhood kid can really run.

I rated this movie four stars because even though it was apparently shot on a limited budget, it was very creative and made you think.

The special effects were good but not spectacular.

Most alien invasion movies are shoot em up action packed excitement war epics. This movie is probably more closer to reality if aliens were to invade our planet, earth. It would be a quiet and subversive invasion........which is more scary because you wouldn't see it coming until it's too late.

I found the very last three minutes of the movie the most unseattling.

The main premise of the movie was interesting, thought provoking and entertaining it's too bad it wasn't made on a bigger budget.

Loss of forests, global warming, temperature and weather changes, people blindly voting for leaders that are hell bent on reeking havoc and destruction on the Earth and her inhabitants, maybe - just maybe we possibly are not alone.

Great Sci Fi.......2006-03-07

This is a Science Fiction lovers dream. It has action, suspense, aliens, giant bugs, a mad scientist/tough guy hero, and an extremely good story line.

The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the slight dated feel. It doesn't take away from this films brilliance, but is definately there.

Alien Paranoia at its best.......2005-07-04

If "Contact" is the scientific part of an alien comunication from out of space, "The Arrival" is the paranoid counter-part.
The movie opens with a scientist discovering something that never was supposed to happen: Vegetation on the north pole.
From there we are moving to the accidental reception of a signal from out of space as well as Contact. But, Are they good or bad aliens?? The answer dwells on Zane ( Charlie Sheen ) who's trying to find out what they are doing here. Sheen plays a convincing extremely paranoid guy, with his face that makes you feel and live his horror. Then, we are directed to find out what the aliens have in mind: to change the planet so they can habitat in it. The end is so well-written that I can't possible imagine a sequel. The alien are convincing in their role of being beyond good and evil. So, do yourself a favor: watch both movies. Because one complete the other. Contact sees them ( the aliens) as good beings trying to communicate to say " We are not Alone", and "The Arrival" tell us they are evil trying to take over the planet.

Raised in an Italian convent, 16-year-old Robin Sana returns to her native Japan to join the STNJ, a secret organization that captures, rather than kills, witches of both sexes. The typically mismatched crew includes hacker Michael Lee, rookie Haruto Sakaki, psychic Miho Karasuma, Yurika Dojima, the spoiled daughter of a prominent family, and icily aloof Amon, the de facto leader of the team. As a "craft user," Robin can conjure fire as a weapon, but has some trouble with her aim. Witch Hunter combines the subdued palette of Blood: The Last Vampire with the alienated tone of the Vampire Princess Miyu OVAs. The elegantly designed settings and skillful use of color are more interesting than the flat stories about pursuing the supernatural murderers. Included in the extras is the Maelifica Compendium, a veritable gold mine of mythological misinformation. (Rated 13 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Description

In a world where witches abuse their supernatural powers, a special team is tasked with hunting this new threat to society. This organization is known as the STN and comprises of several highly skilled craft users and experts in covert operations. But their most powerful craft user is a young woman named Robin. Her mysterious gift to summon deadly flames will determine the fates of her colleagues and lead her into a dark world of mystique and witchcraft! From the creators of 'Cowboy Bebop' and 'Argentosoma' LIMITED EDITION Collector's DVD Box Included w/Witch Hunter Robin Original CD Soundtrack Included

A laid back series.......2006-01-23

Witch Hunter Robin is a laid back series even though it is meant to be different. It's a perfect blend, not too much action but just enough to keep you interested and the story catches your ear as soon as the show starts. The series is very relaxing but not boring as young Robin enters a coffee shop to have an unexpected important conversation with a bartender to help settle her into her new home. She was in an Italian convent but she was never a regular child so now at 16 she returns to where she belongs in her native Japan. She has something that can help her contain and destroy witches, she can create fire that becomes a powerful weapon but no one truly knows her level of strength. You are in for a ride but you don't find a major mystery until the middle of the series and you won't crack it until the very last episode and even then you may still have unanswered questions. These first episodes are just to settle you in to get to know the witch hunting team of the STNJ and their abilities and also the fantastic main character Robin.

Awful........ Simply Awful.......2005-08-15

Am I the only person who realizes this show is garbage?

Seriously, how can people think this is good?

Plot/Characters: This may be harsh, but when it comes to characters and plot WHR is as bad as it gets. The story is so completely lame and it's totally predictable. Wow they hunt witches ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how original. It's true theres nothing original about the plot they just, well, basically they hunt witches for a million episodes in a row, it gets really boring after a while. Also, it's so dumb that the people dont kill the witches. That's so lame, who the heck came uo with that, it totally takes away the drama from the show. Think about it, it would be far more interesting if they did kill them, it would at the very least maybe help develop a characters morality by questioning..... is it right to murder these witches? But no forbid they actually develop the charcaters.
The characters in WHR are also awful. Robin and the other dude (whose name I forget) are so completely monotone it's insane. It makes the series completly boring. In fact, even if the series suffered from lack of an interesting storyline, if the characters were good the show would probably be much better. Also the backround characters really stink. Every single one of them looks and acts exactly the same, you can barely tell them apart from one another. And the hacker guy is an extremely annoying character. He's so ridiculously cocky that you come to despise the charcater. Also too, you could tell that they were really trying to make the character cool, but it simply just didn't work.

Score: 10% out of 100%

Animation/Art/Charcater Design: One thing I will say about the series is that it did have some very good art and animation..... But who cares when the story and charcaters are completely uninteresting. Thats the problem with too many anime series today, good animation, bad plot ( I.E. Wolf's Rain.)
While the art and animation may be very good the charcater design leaves much to be desired. Almost every character looks exactly the same. Normally this wouldn't be such a bad thing, but with WHR it is a problem. When every charcater looks and acts exactly the same you cant tell them apart, this is a fatal flaw cocerning the series.

Score: 75% out of 100%

Music/Voice acting: Very uninspired voice acting. Robin is completely monotoned and the other charcaters dont even have presence when they speak. The music is also very forgettable.

Score: 20% out of 100%

Overall: Very bad series, I don't know how so many people on amazon could rate this so high. People theres a reason why Adult Swim dosn't air the show anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the main story of witch hunter robin .......2005-08-01

What happens is there is a 16 year old girl called robin who is a witch and so she joins the STNJ, a secret organization which hunts down witches and captures them and put them in a factory.
Robin feels lost and cant place what is going on and why does she feel lost.Witches are people with supernatural powers and robin's craft is being able to errect flames which is fire.

this show is mysteriouse and a little dramatic at the same time it makes it so you feel like the person in the show. I love witch hunter robin and hope that they continue it in the future for it is the best show i ever saw.

Witch Hunter Robin starts tracking down the bad witches.......2005-05-03

The anime "Witch Hunter Robin" is the story of the STN-J team that protects citizens from the threat of modern day witches (a term that includes both genders). The goal is to track individuals who have the witch gene in their ancestry and take care of them before their latent abilities emerge and they harm the general population. In Volume 1 ("Arrival"), Robin Sena, a 15-year-old girl born in Japan but raised in a convent in Italy, arrives back home in Japan to be the team's new witch hunter, replacing a member who had been killed in the line of duty. Robin is a "craft-user," who has the ability to create and manipulate flame (just not very well at first). She is also reserved and cautious, except when it comes to dealing with Amon, the team leader. He is ten years older so it is hard to tell early on if he is just going to remain her mentor or if there might be more in store (go ahead, take a wild guess).

Other teenagers on the team are Miho Karasuma, a craft-user who can pick up information and impressions from objects and people, Haruto Sakaki, is quick to spring into action but usually gets hurt and causes a lot of damage, Michael Lee, the group's resident computer hacker, and Yurika Dojima, whose only talent appears to be showing up late for work. Chief Kosaka shows up and yells a lot as he runs the group's daily operations while Takuma Zaizen is the administrator for all STN operations in Japan and has introduced a substance called "orbo" to the team's operations. Orbo amulets and guns help the team resist the effects of craft against them in the field.

The DVD follows Robin and STN-J as they hunt down witches in the first four of the series 26 episodes: (1) "Replacement" has Robin joining the STN-J team, but on the first mission the other members of the team do not know that she is their new witch hunter; (2) "Addicted to Power" begins with the witch Kazuya Misawa on trial for murdering his business partner, but even though the police have tampered with the evidence it is doubtful he will be convicted, which means STN-J has to stop him before he can kill again; (3) "Dancing in Darkness" begins with the STN-J investigating a dried corpse where Robin finds a dead insect and the hunt is on for a witch who can control insects, but then it turns out the murder of witches goes back for centuries, which suggests something else might be at work; and (4) "Stubborn Aesthetics" begins with Amon giving Robin the file for a series of murder cases that may or may not be related but might involve a witch. Robin and Miho investigate the case together. (5) "Smells Like the Wandering Spirit" finds the STN-J searching a shanty town for a potential witch. When one of the homeless men runs from Sakaki he gives chase only to watch as the terrified man runs into traffic and is killed. An autopsy reveals the man was not a witch and it looks like the witch they are searching for might be able to control minds.

These first five episodes are laying the foundation for what is to come (accidents that are not accidents are key in the next several episodes). Witches are obviously bad, but the distinction between the hunted and the hunters seems rather suspect. Are we talking about the difference between good witches and bad witches or is there more going on here? Early on Robin is learning the ropes as well as getting used to her teenage teammates. Things are starting to come together slowly and given I trust the recommendations of those who urged me to check out this particular anime I am focusing on key interpersonal elements and other hints that suggest what might be coming down the road for Witch Hunter Robin and her teammates. The animation is above average but it is really character more than pictures which are carrying this anime.

One of the finer anime's around.......2004-12-10

What initially drew me to this series was the name Witch Hunter Robin, but then when I learned that it came from the same brilliant creators that brought us Cowboy Bebop I knew this was something I had to check out without quite knowing what I was getting myself into. Watching 'Arrival' through for the first time left me feeling a bit disappointed as the look and feel were completely different from Cowboy Bebop but now I greatly appreciate that. In the beginning I felt that the characters had no emotion and that the episodes were all so redundant and predictable but after viewing them a few more times I've come to think otherwise. Indeed, the storylines are not that complex and they do move a little slow but, rest assured, they become more interesting as the series moves on. The premise of vol. 1 is basically introducing all the characters and how they interact with one another. There's the aloof Amon (the team's most experienced member); Michael Lee (the chief hacker); Dojima (the spoiled daughter of a rich family who's always fashionably late); Haruto and Karasuma (a rookie and a physic by touch); and of course Robin Sena who is a young 15-year-old craft user sent in as a replacement six months after losing one of their own. They are all part of the STNJ: a secret organization who hunt and capture witches without killing them. They are then sent off to the factory once hit with special bullets that cause the witches to lose the strength of their powers. And what happens to them there is later revealed...

On vol. 1 we deal with a witch who reportedly cursed his victim to death without ever laying a finger on him...A witch who absorbs the life energy of other witches, or descendants of witches, to remain eternally young...An artist who kills those who get between them and what they happen to be painting at the time...And a witch that seeps into people's minds, implementing them with terror and bringing those feelings to a boil so they become more susceptible to their powers.

This is a great show with wonderful animation, a simple yet intricate plot (meaning you do need to remain attentive to follow along but it doesn't require too much thinking), and a supernatural flair to it all. However, don't expect to be scared out of your wits here. It's more in the vein of X-Files, as many have compared this to before, and understandably so. It's actually a suspenseful drama that relies on some spooky atmosphere, and its subtle approach works very well. Also, the English voices are dead on which only adds to the enjoyment. You may even recognize some voices, such as Karasuma (Faye from Cowboy Bebop) and Amon (Alucard from Hellsing), but as I sit here listening to them talk I don't invision them as their prior characters because their voices fit in with the personalities here on WHR perfectly. Another aspect to this show I really like is how Robin, who has the ability to start fires, is not without flaws. Her eyesight, for instance, is slightly off and she needs glasses so she can hit her targets with more precision ^_^.

It's far more expensive but I recommend buying this limited edition box of collectables if you can. Included with this DVD is the soundtrack, which is $45 alone, along with a T-Shirt, shot glass, and pictures.
