The lost of the title was not random.......2007-06-13

I didn't know if someone already told that on the millions of blogs that certainly are on for this great show. Surely I'm not the one to think that. But I think that due to the final episode from the third season I solved the mistery. The island from lost is the paradise lost from the Bible.
Even if i'm clueless here, that doesn't matter at all, since Lost is again a great show. Do not miss this pack dude.

THIS MUST BE RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER.......2007-06-11

What the hell is going on??? Are we trapped in hatch? The season will not begin until '08 - this MUST be diagnosed and examined - and releasing it on the 11th of December before the holidays is another American Holiday rip off. Fans will purchase this on the day of release. It must be studied to enjoy and become enraptured with the new season. Get real studio heads; this is a BIG gap between seasons - you will lose viewers. Get with it and release it early enough since we do not get an autumn easter egg. PLEASE!

Bounce Back.......2007-06-06

This season of Lost is on par with the first. Season 2 was definitely a dip in quality and excitement, but these episodes redeem the show completely. The addition of Juliet was a big plus in my opinion - she's one of the most interesting characters. This season is full of answers and also new questions, in typical Lost fashion. It's an exciing ride, from start to finish.

Amazing .......2007-06-05

I guess now that I think about it, season two was a little step backward from season one. The season two finale almost made up for it, but overall, season two was just boring and felt like the plot took forever to get moving. Season three is one giant leap forward, and might even be my favorite season so far. I personally didn't hate the first six episodes. I thought they were ok. I was disappointed with how little happened though. When it came back in Feb, it started to be awesome again. Every episode (with the exception of possibly the worst lost episode ever "expose") was great. This season also had some of the best lost episodes ever in my opinion. The episode where we learn how Locke got into the wheelchair could very well be the best episode of Lost ever!There were revelations and answers everywhere. There were also more things explored, and even more questions raised. The season finale, was one of the best I've ever seen. Not a lot gets answered, but the last minute of the show absolutely changes the entire show's future....literally. Lost's season finales' are always great.

The best show on television.......2007-06-05

I have been an avid LOST watcher from day one of the series. I think the characters and plots are fantastic and season three was no exception. If you like suspense and drama this is the TV show for you.

I think this is by far the best show on TV. I just think it is awful that all of us that love this show have to wait until December 11th to purchase the 3rd season. Oh Well, I know it will be worth it!

What was in the Hatch? The cliffhanger from season one of Lost was answered in its opening sequences, only to launch into more questions as the season progressed. That's right: Just when you say "Ohhhhh," there comes another "What?" Thankfully, the show's producers sprinkle answers like tasty morsels throughout the season, ending with a whopper: What caused Oceanic Air Flight 815 to crash in the first place? As the show digs into more revelations about its inhabitant's pasts, it also devotes a good chunk to new characters (Hey, it's an island; you never know who you're going to run into.) First, there are the "Tailies," passengers from the back end of the plane who crashed on the other side of the island. Among them are the wise, God-fearing ex-drug lord Mr. Eko (standout Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje); devoted husband Bernard (Sam Anderson); psychiatrist Libby (Cynthia Watros, whose character has more than one hidden link to the other islanders); and ex-cop Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez), by far the most infuriating character on the show, despite how much the writers tried to incur sympathy with her flashback. Then there are the Others, first introduced when they kidnapped Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) at the end of season one. Brutal and calculating, their agenda only became more complex when one of them (played creepily by Michael Emerson) was held hostage in the hatch and, quite handily, plays mind games on everyone's already frayed nerves. The original cast continues to battle their own skeletons, most notably Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Michael (Harold Perrineau), whose obsession with finding Walt takes a dangerous turn. The love triangle between Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), which had stalled with Sawyer's departure, heats up again in the second half. Despite the bloating cast size (knocked down by a few by season's end) Lost still does what it does best: explores the psyche of people, about whom "my life is an open book" never applies, and cracks into the social dynamics of strangers thrust into Lord of the Flies-esque situations. Is it all a science experiment? A dream? A supernatural pocket in the universe? Likely, any theory will wind up on shaky ground by the season's conclusion. But hey, that's the fun of it. This show was made for DVD, and you can pause and slow-frame to your heart's content. Just try and keep that head-spinning to a minimum.

Along with Desperate Housewives, Lost was one of the two breakout shows in the fall of 2004. Mixing suspense and action with a sci-fi twist, it began with a thrilling pilot episode in which a jetliner traveling from Australia to Los Angeles crashes, leaving 48 survivors on an unidentified island with no sign of civilization or hope of imminent rescue. That may sound like Gilligan's Island meets Survivor, but Lost kept viewers tuning in every Wednesday night--and spending the rest of the week speculating on Web sites--with some irresistible hooks (not to mention the beautiful women). First, there's a huge ensemble cast of no fewer than 14 regular characters, and each episode fills in some of the back story on one of them. There's a doctor; an Iraqi soldier; a has-been rock star; a fugitive from justice; a self-absorbed young woman and her brother; a lottery winner; a father and son; a Korean couple; a pregnant woman; and others. Second, there's a host of unanswered questions: What is the mysterious beast that lurks in the jungle? Why do polar bears and wild boars live there? Why has a woman been transmitting an SOS message in French from somewhere on the island for the last 16 years? Why do impossible wishes seem to come true? Are they really on a physical island, or somewhere else? What is the significance of the recurring set of numbers? And will Kate ever give up her bad-boy fixation and hook up with Jack?

Lost did have some hiccups during the first season. Some plot threads were left dangling for weeks, and the "oh, it didn't really happen" card was played too often. But the strong writing and topnotch cast kept the show a cut above most network TV. The best-known actor at the time of the show's debut was Dominic Monaghan, fresh off his stint as Merry the Hobbit in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. The rest of the cast is either unknowns or "where I have I seen that face before" supporting players, including Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, who are the closest thing to leads. Other standouts include Naveen Andrews, Terry O'Quinn (who's made a nice career out of conspiracy-themed TV shows), Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Emilie de Ravin, but there's really not a weak link in the cast. Co-created by J.J. Abrams (Alias), Lost left enough unanswered questions after its first season to keep viewers riveted for a second season. --David Horiuchi

DVD features
Even if you saw every episode of Lost on TV--or perhaps especially if you saw every episode--the DVD set is a must-own. The episodes are presented in widescreen format, just as they were broadcast on high-definition channels. (Conventional ABC-TV broadcasts were reduced to 1.33 full-screen format.) Four of the episodes have commentary tracks by the producing team and the actors who were featured on certain episodes (Terry O'Quinn, Dominic Monaghan, and Maggie Grace and Ian Sommerhalder). The last disc has over three hours of bonus material sensibly broken into three categories. "Departure" discusses the initial creation of the series, the making of the pilot, and the cast (some characters were created to fit the actors, and Evangeline Lilly's Kate was the hardest to cast). It also includes the cast's audition tapes and photographs by Matthew Fox. "Tales from the Island" provides background material on seven of the episodes plus the boars used in filming, Jimmy Kimmel's appearance on the set, and the genesis of the Driveshaft song ("You all everybody..."). Finally, "Lost Revealed" includes two scenes cut from the season finale, 13 other deleted scenes (not identified by episode, unfortunately), a blooper reel, and the cast and crew's giddy appearance at the Museum of Television & Radio. --David Horiuchi

In a classic instance of a film's reach exceeding its grasp, Kiss the Sky has the outline of greatness about it. The final result, though, is something less: a deeply flawed but genuinely interesting work. Nothing wrong with that.

More ambitious and less clichéd than American Beauty, Kiss the Sky stars William L. Petersen and Gary Cole as long-time friends evaluating how they arrived in middle age feeling dispirited and empty. Desperate to reconnect with their lost vitality, they pursue the obvious by zipping off to a tropical island to chase the local girls. Instead, they both end up falling for the same woman (Sheryl Lee), who in turn loves both of them. Opting for the unorthodox, the trio becomes a threesome with little internal jealousy, deep feelings shared all around, and an unspoken conviction that they have stumbled together into a sacred chapter in their lives.

If that scenario sounds merely provocative or mundane, the faith that screenwriter Eric Lerner demonstrates in his characters' quasi-religious certainty inspires a different reading. Not that Lerner and veteran television director Roger Young don't blow it on a few counts: the superfluous presence of Terence Stamp as a Zen monk, and a dead-end subplot about building a sanctuary for other soul pilgrims. But there's enough moral authenticity and adult experience between the lines to make this a compelling experience. --Tom Keogh

Description

When a pair of life-long friends see their fast-lane lives heading nowhere, they take a detour... into an erotically charged, psychologically perilous adventure of the heart. After years of upward mobility, best friends Jeff (William Petersen) and Marty (Gary Cole) have achieved the American dream and ended up disillusioned and restless. They concoct an overseas business trip meant to exorcisetheir demons, but it soon escalates into a full-fledged escapeto a spectacularly remote tropicalisland where they both fall in love with the same free-spirited beauty (Sheryl Lee). Throwing caution to the wind, they make the fateful decision to shed their families back home and set out to create a sexual and spiritual utopia, observed and counseled by a wry Buddhist monk (Terence Stamp). But there's trouble in this sensual paradise... and it will ultimately test the bonds of friendship and the limits of love for each of them.

Billy Petersen Fan.......2007-05-13

I really enjoyed this movie because I am a huge Billy Petersen fan. I have watched it several times and my only critisism is that I find myself screaming at the screen, "Get over yourselves".

WOW!.......2007-01-14

Surprisingly this movie was a delight to watch - having been a fan for many years of Billy Petersen, but only seeing him primarily as Gil Grissom - this movie was a breath of fresh air.

it had it's moments where I noticed my mind wandering, but overall it was well written and I enjoyed seeing him in such a role..

The ending was also quite a surprise to me as well - if you are fan of Billy Petersen this is a movie no collection should be without...

Better than I expected........2006-01-01

I liked this movie better as it went along. I, too, am not very happy with the way my life has gone. I guess that if you are self-satisfied, then you probably won't like this movie. But being who I am and where I have been in my life, it touched me deeply, particularly with its mournful Leonard Cohen songs in the background and its sad twist at the end. I strongly disagree with the reviewer who thought the presence of Terence Stamp's Buddhist monk and the story line of the building of the tower were extraneous. I see this story as the two main characters' search for an earthly nirvana, and the tower is a literal construction evoking the movie's title. I bought this movie because I am a big fan of Billy Petersen, and he gives really fine performance here, worth an extra star. (But I'm so glad that he's keeping his clothes on in his current role as CBS's top CSI, Gil Grissom.)

OK... etc.......2005-10-21

Not terrible, not great. not memorable. who was in it? I forgot. 2 guys and a girl. the 2 men go on vacation - or is it business? w/out their wives (big mistake) to a lovely tropical island place.

money seems to be no object. should have brought the wives. oh well. they go on to have an adventure, meet a girl. at first she is the second choice, the ugly duckling, next to the tall "beautiful" girlfriend. but as soon as they decide they like her - poof - she becomes quite pretty.(amazing.)

the three-some is awkward, at best. the lighting and music painfully trying too hard to be seductive and sexy and it flops.

the boys decided to run away from it all and build a resort. (again, money is no object.) it turns out to be very painful and flops worse than the sex scene. but, the real problem is that we didn't CARE that it flopped. in a movie - one that is GOOD - you get to where you CARE about the characters. you want them to win, to succeed, to get the girl etc. but not here.
we just didn't CARE. my man, Norman, bought this for the sex.. ha ha - poor man - didn't find much. wasted his money. next time - I get to pick the flick!

Kiss the sky is an interesting movie.......2003-12-21

Ok, I admit it. Put Billy Petersen in a movie and I am hooked. The movie is interesting. Jeff (William Petersen) and Marty (Gary Cole) decide they need a change from the pressures of their everyday life. The two best buddies head off on a working vacation and wind up in an opium den where they hear a man talking of an island where you can kiss the sky. Longing for the days when they were young and free, the two head out to this paradise and wind up falling in love with the same woman. She goes from Jeff to Marty and then spends a night with both of them, which makes for the interesting part of the movie. Between romps in the sack, Marty and Jeff decide to build a haven for others like themselves that need a place to go, a place to be free. Fighting the language barrier, slow arrival of materials, and the coming monsoon season, Jeff and Marty take their friendship to the edge. The ending was a surprise but appropriate.
This movie made me long for my wild and free days and envy Marty and Jeff (and espically Sheryl Lee).

No chemistry and the lead is a geezer.......2007-02-22

Robert Cannon has traveled to Nova Scotia to check into the events leading up to the death of his brother. Kevin was privately investigating a ring of software pirates who were using Robert's top secret programs and selling to the highest bidder. Evie Shaw is the marina owner who was the last to see Kevin alive. Robert is immediately intrigued by her and suspects that she might have an involvement in Kevin's death when she tells him she thinks it wasn't an accident. He sets out to seduce the young widow, not realizing that a trusted confidant might be behind the theft.

While Linda Howard's novel was by no means great (okay, it really wasn't that good), the editorial changes made to bring it to the screen seemed stupid - the only thing they retained were the main character's names. The location change, the addition of a younger brother, Evie's marriage to an older man verses her high school sweetheart, they all seemed pointless. But the worst change was the casting of Nick Mancuso as Robert. He is simply too old for the role of a mid-30's businessman with a brother in his mid-20's (he was 51 at the time). It was just too distracting and the romance verged on creepy. This is one of the worse Harlequin movie adaptations from the mid-90's.

An "ADAPTATION" I was trying to keep that in mind while watching.......2006-05-20

Well, it is certainly a different version of "Loving Evangeline" compared to the Linda Howard book. For those who have not read the book, this TV movie was very nice. Although, for this Linda Howard fan who did read the book and enjoyed it, seeing the made for TV version was very dissapointing. While reading the book I always imagined Robert Cannon being this incredibly handsome man in his late thirties as described in the book not a fifty something who wears glasses. But, that aside, other things bothered me as well, such as a new character added to the storyline and others deleted, there was also change of location and last but not the least what was up with Evies husband being dead only for a little while. I gave it two star because I am a fan of Linda Howard and was dissapointed how the book translated into this Tv version.

I Liked This Harlequin Movie!.......2005-10-06

As a fan of romance books I was intrigued when I heard that several Harlequin romance books had been turned into made for television movies. I wasn't disappointed with this movie at all. Yes they made some changes from the book like in the book Evangeline (Evie) was southern and but she wasn't southern in the movie and I thought that change was a little weird, and Robert though still a ruthless businessman is nicer in this movie then he was in the book but honestly I liked the nicer Robert in this movie because in the book I thought he was real schmuck. I like this movie and I think it's one of the better Harlequin movies.

Did they read the book before making this movie?.......2005-05-26

I was so very disappointed with this movie. The Linda Howard book was filled with memorable characters. Robert Cannon and Evie were both strong characters who had to change to meet each other romantically. This Robert was a wimp who was so bland--well he was pitiful. The book was nothing like the movie, the places, family members even the subplots were all changed. I could not really recomend buying it. It is so very bland. Sorry.

THOROUGHLY INTRIGUEING ROMANCE/MYSTERY.......2004-12-28

Robert Cannon, [Nick Mancuso] is the rich and powerful President of the Boston-based Thornhill Software.
He is forced to return to Nova Scotia's South Shore when his younger brother, Kevin is found after a fatal boating accident.

Robert is emotionally unprepared for his return to the family home that he couldn't wait to leave. The seaside community is steeped in stories of pirates and buried treasure that he had entertained his brother, Kevin with as he raised him.

Evie Shaw, owner of the marina where Kevin had rented a boat the day he died, is convinced that his death was no accident.

Robert finds out that Evie is a widow that his company is sueing for Kevin's death.
[Shari Belafonte] is great as Robert's indispensible Mrs. Beecham.
Robert is determined to find out why his brother, Kevin's tracking device does not work. Were his designs stolen by a rival company?
Did Evie have anything to do with Kevin's death?

Exceedingly well acted emotionally - definitely a neat story.
Definitely Recommended.

Description

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem is vividly brought to life by one of the silver screen's great beauties, Mexican actress Dolores del Rio. In the quiet Acadian village of Grand-Pre, Nova Scotia, lives the beautiful and beloved Evangeline. She is betrothed to Gabriel, but before they can marry, France and England declare war. The Acadians, bound by an allegiance to England but by ties of kinship to France, refuse to take up arms. As a result, they are forcefully deported and Evangeline must set sail for unknown lands, wander in the American wilderness, searching for her lost love.

Customer Reviews:

Absolutely Beautiful.......2007-06-20

Evangeline is based on the Longfellow poem about starcrossed lovers; this makes it both romantic and artistic. Dolores del Rio is Evangeline and Roland Drew is her lover. The two plan to be married but are interrupted by a war that takes the villagers away to America. The chaos separates them and as soon as they get to America, it is all they can do to search desperately for each other. This is a sad film, but intensely emotional and beautifully done.

The photography is excellent. There are halos of light around the couples' heads. The makeup is wonderful; both people look amazing (not that they needed much help). The technology is very advanced despite this being a silent film. After all, it was made when the talkies were coming into the spotlight.

Milestone always does a great job with their releases, and this one is no exception. The price might be slightly high, but it is worth it for such a gem of a film.

Evangeline.......2005-08-05

I purchased this silent with my heart set on seeing Miriam Cooper in the starring role. Upon its arrival, I immediately noticed the name "Dolores Del Rio" as the lead, and put it on the shelf. I'd heard of Del Rio, but my disappointment at not having Miriam Cooper as Evangeline over-rode my curiosity. Come to find out, the version of "Evangeline" that stars Miriam Cooper is considered "lost".
When I put aside my misgivings. and viewed the film, I was struck by the beauty of Dolores Del Rio, and the depth of her emotions. Her performance was quite extraordinary, and you could see that she'd thrown all of herself into playing Evangeline. Also, this dvd was constructed from the original 35mm prints, and boasts the original tints and musical score.
This is a wonderful rendition of "Evangeline" that bears witness to the dedication and artistry of little known directors and "foreign" actors. I recommend this movie to anyone who has a penchant for silent films at their best.

A real romantic treat.......2003-05-03

'Evangeline' is to be greatly recommended in its own right, not just for being among the very last handful of silent films. It was rare, even in earlier silent days, to dare speak in such lushly melodramatic terms as director Carewe does here, and after this viewer's initial puzzlement, even periodic embarassment, I was completely won over by the sheer wilfulness of passion, the faith the characters have in undying love. The location scenes are, to put it mildly, spectacular, and the grandiose scenes showing off a cast of at least several hundreds impress even in this computer-generated age. The technical quality of Image Entertainment's edition is unsurpassed in visual brilliance, and I applaud the decision to mix between the original symphonic score and a modern piano transcription where the original music was missing.
What can I say? You need to be a romantic to appreciate this film, but if you are, you are in for an unforgettable treat.

A Powerful Adaptation of Longfellow's Poem.......2001-05-12

Evangeline is a very good adaptation of Longfellow's famous poem. It follows the story of the poem closely and includes brief extracts from the text as titles. Where the film departs from the poem it generally improves the story, makes it more dramatic and clear. This story of the Acadian exile from Nova Scotia is very moving, even more so in the film, for it provides the historical context and reasoning behind the decision of the British to remove the French speaking Acadians from their homes. It is 1755 and France and Britain are about to fight the `Seven Years War'. The Acadians wish to remain neutral, but are told they must either fight for the British or leave. Longfellow does not really spell this out, assuming that the history would be familiar to his readers. No doubt it was familiar to readers when he was writing, but it is less familiar now and so the film's greater emphasis on explaining the story is very welcome.

There are some very powerful scenes in the film especially those that detail the brutality of the British in forcing the Acadians from their homes and in the process causing the separation of families and loved ones. The film tries to mitigate the British cruelty by suggesting that it did not have the sanction of the government. No doubt the studio hoped that the film would thus play better in Britain. But the images of the crime remain more vivid than any excuses. The film is a compelling account and indictment of `ethnic cleansing' and remains vitally relevant today.

The print used for the Image DVD is very good. It is tinted using various muted shades and is clear and sharp. There is almost no damage. Evangeline is a very late silent film, released in 1929, and originally was accompanied by a soundtrack of music, sound effects, singing and a very brief piece of dialogue. Some of this soundtrack has now been lost. Where this is the case the DVD includes a piano score. It is easy to tell where the original soundtrack remains for the sound quality is quite poor and indistinct. It is interesting to hear the original soundtrack as it illustrates the transition period between silent films and talkies. It is clear that Evangeline was shot as a silent with the sound added later for where there is singing it does not synchronize with the lips of the actors. Only at the very end of the film is there a brief moment when Evangeline actually speaks. It's as if we hear the end of silent pictures, and in a way we do.
