Walt Disney studios had previously adapted Sheila Burnford's classic animal-adventure novel The Incredible Journey in 1963, and the story proves just as durable in this popular 1993 version, in which the heroic trio of animals are given voices provided by Don Ameche, Michael J. Fox, and Sally Field. They don't actually speak (like the clever critters in Babe), but we hear their "voices" as the lost household pets--Shadow the golden retriever, Chance the bulldog, and Sassy the cat--survive a harrowing series of adventures as they struggle to find their way home. Perfect entertainment for kids, this frequently clever movie offers an abundance of wildlife and beautiful location scenery, and the vocal performances by Ameche, Fox, and Field are surprisingly effective. A hit with parents and children alike, the film was followed by a sequel in 1996. --Jeff Shannon
Description
This thrilling and thoroughly captivating theatrical hit from Disney has become an instant favorite with audiences of all ages. You'll lose your heart to Chance, a fun-loving American bulldog pup; Sassy, a hilarious Himalayan cat who lives up to her name; and Shadow, a wise old golden retriever -- all of whom express themselves with very familiar human voices! The adventure begins when the loving owners of these irresistible pets are forced to leave them in the temporary care of a friend who lives hundreds of miles away. But after several days, the worried animals begin to think their family must be in trouble, so they decide to head for home. On their incredible journey across the ruggedly beautiful Sierras, they encounter unexpected surprises from man, beast, and nature alike. It's an unforgettable story of love, courage, and devotion that will delight and inspire generations to come!

This is a wonderful story. I saw it on television several years ago and loved it. I recently purchased the DVD and every time my grandchildren come to visit, that's the one they want to see over all the others and I watch it with them and enjoy it every time.
A Classic!.......2007-02-27
If you have kids, this is a must have! I love to sit and watch this movie with my son. This is a great remake of the original. Highly recommend.
Timeless family film.......2007-02-19
This movie is a must for Disney collections. Fantastic story of two dogs and a kitty who prefers the indoors who survive the wilds to return home to their family. I'll never tire of this story, and it's nice to re-visit the wonderful sound of Michael J. Fox's voice. A 'tail wagging' tale!

Destined for cult status, this provocative thriller offers a grab bag of genres (gangster movie, comedy, sexy romance, crime caper) and tops it all off with steamy passion between lesbian ex-con Corky (Gina Gershon) and a not-so-ditzy gun moll named Violet (Jennifer Tilly), who meets Corky and immediately tires of her mobster boyfriend (Joe Pantoliano). Desperate to break away from the Mob's influence and live happily ever after, the daring dames hatch a plot to steal $2 million of Mafia money. Their scheme runs into a series of escalating complications, until their very survival depends on split-second timing and criminal ingenuity. Simultaneously violent, funny, and suspenseful, Bound is sure to test your tolerance for bloodshed, but the film is crafted with such undeniable skill that several critics (including Roger Ebert) placed it on their top-ten lists for 1996. --Jeff Shannon

Bound.......2007-05-25
A great suspense movie with a lesbian main characters. This is not often seen in the many of the lesbian films. The roles are well portrayed by the actors and a great lesbian sex scene.
The heat from this movie is sizzling!!!!.......2007-03-24
Before the Wachowski Brothers did The Matrix, there was the erotic thriller, Bound, starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, Joe Pantoliano, John P. Ryan, and Christopher Meloni. This was a low budget movie (four-and-a-half million dollars) that was to be the calling card for Andy and Larry Wachowski so that they could eventually do The Matrix series. They both wrote and directed Bound, demonstrating their unbelievable talent in making a film that would quickly become a cult classic in just a few short years. The script was sharp and fresh with more twists in it than a pretzel. They were able to get the two sexiest women in Hollywood at the time (Tilly and Gershon) to play the leads with Joe Pantoliano agreeing to take a cut in salary for his role as Caesar. They got a great Production Designer, Editor and Director of Photography to make Bound's appearance to be more film noir in essence with its dark tones and shadows and sparse cutting. The rest as they say is history.
Bound deals with Corky (played by Gershon), who just got out of prison after having served five years for what she calls a distribution of funds, or stealing. She was betrayed by her female partner and therefore has a severe lack of trust in those around her. She takes a job as a maintenance repair guy in a Chicago condo building and soon meets the vibrant and sexy Violet (played to the hilt by Tilly), who's the girlfriend of Caesar, a money launderer for the Mob. The couple live in the condo right next to the one that Corky is doing repairs in. The attraction between Corky and Violet is immediate, and it isn't long before Violet sexually seduces her. Corky knows trouble when she sees it, but that doesn't stop her from giving in to Violet's manipulations. It isn't long, however, before Violet makes the suggestion to her new lover that they steal two million dollars of the Mob's money, allowing Caesar to take the fall for its lost. What a deal--two million dollars, plus Violet. How could any man, or woman, say no to that. Of course, nothing goes according to the plan as all hell breaks lose with Caesar doing just the opposite of what the two ladies had hoped for. Then, there's the question of whether or not Corky will once again find herself being betrayed by the woman she cares about. Any and everything can happen before the ending is reached as betrayal, torture and murder become the norm for this outstanding film.
This movie is everything a viewer could hope for. It's scary, funny and sexy to the ninth degree. Tilly and Gershon heat up the screen with their lovemaking and dubious intentions. They capture theirs roles with perfect aplomb, delighting in the subtle nuances that each brings to their particular character and playing off of it. Joe Pantoliano does a great job as the man who's caught in the middle of these two black widows, refusing to go down without a fight. One big surprise is how great John Ryan is as Mickey, a boss for the Mob. The guy is downright scary in his performance. He never raises his voice or over reacts--just a steady force to be reckoned with. Christopher Meloni as crazy Johnnie Marzzone brings in the laughs with his wicked sense of humor in the most dour of situations like when an accountant for the Mob is being tortured about the money he's stolen. When a finger is cut off and falls to the bathroom floor, Johnnie says, "Oops. You dropped something." Bound is a slick, classy film with top performances by its actors that totally deserves all of the recognition it's received over the years. It's a movie that you can certainly watch over and over. I will say that there isn't much in the way of extras on the DVD, but the film commentary is great. Jennifer Tilly shows up during the last third of the commentary and basically steals the show away from the Wachowski Brothers and Joe Pantoliano. She won't let anyone get in a word edgewise and acknowledges that she sometimes talks too much. Gershon shows up a few minutes later, and they both have fun razing Joe about his semi-nude scenes in the movie and his overall acting. Needless to say, the commentary is loads of fun. Bound is the type of movie that gives me hope for Hollywood. This is what filmmaking is all about, and it goes to show that fantastic movies can be made on a shoestring budget. You don't need two-hundred million dollars to make a classic.
Bound ( A movie you bound to have )........2007-03-17
If Drama, suspence, a little humour and an impressive story line is your thing, then you are BOUND to like this movie. Two ladies ( sort of ) swindles the mob over two million dollars...drama unfolds from the begining throughout the movie keeping you at the edge of your seat.
P.S warning there is a little lesbian scene that deterred my mom from watching the whole movie ( however this was early in the film ).
Mob Movie with a Twist.......2007-02-12
This is an incredibly unusual twist on a story of mob betrayal and robbery. Two women meet on an elevator and begin a love afair. One of them is living with a mobster. They conspire to steal $2 million of the mafia's money and all hell breaks loose.
The plot is tightly weaved , the acting is good and the movie has enough surprises that it never becomes boring. All in all a highly entertaining film with some strong sexuality and violence mixed in.
Female Mob Movie.......2007-01-14
Bound was the first movie made by the Wachowski brothers, of Matrix fame. Bound stars Gina Gershon as Corky, a lesbian ex con hired to work in an apartment as a plumber. She meets neighbor Caesar, who launders money for the mob, and his girlfriend Violet. The two women have a love affair and decide to steal $2,000,000 that Caesar is holding for the mob. Caesar is set up by the two scheming women as a scapegoat and then things get very violent. The movie could be less violent, but overall it was great to see two female leads in a mafia movie.

This movie follows the unwritten law of sequels: bring back the same characters and put them in similar jeopardy with slightly tweaked circumstances. Instead of a cross-country journey, this time the pet trio must get from the San Francisco airport across the Golden Gate Bridge to their suburban home. Michael J. Fox and Sally Field return as the voices of Chance the bulldog and Sassy the cat, with Ralph Waite replacing the late Don Ameche as the elderly golden retriever. Their journey features dogfights, house fires, an epic battle with a pair of petnappers, and a love affair for Chance with a stray from the other side of the bridge (Carla Gugino). Sinbad voices another dog who guides them through the mean streets of the city by the bay, and Robert Hays stars as the father, but, frankly, that hardly matters. What does is the animals' banter, and they're funny. (Ages 3 and up) --Kimberly Heinrichs
Description
Your favorite trio of talking animals is back in this action-packed Disney adventure that'll have the whole family bursting with excitement and laughter! Michael J. Fox, Sally Field, and Ralph Waite supply the voices of Chance, the American bulldog; Sassy, the Himalayan cat; and Shadow, the golden retriever -- and Sinbad speaks for their newfound canine friend, Riley -- in this critically acclaimed sequel to Disney's now-classic HOMEWARD BOUND: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. When the pets accidentally get separated from their vacationing owners, Chance, Shadow, and Sassy navigate the mean streets of San Francisco, trying to find their home across the Golden Gate Bridge. But the road is blocked by a series of hazards, both man and beast. It's another incredible journey for three very brave, very lovable pets, in a thrilling, funny adventure that's 'bound to please' (New York Post) the entire family!

GREAT family movies.......2007-01-02
This movie is great ALL my kids loved it from ages 9-16 and even us parents enjoyed it alot. SUPER FUNNY and heartwarming.
Those Lovable Critters are Back!.......2006-07-03
This movie is the third movie that Disney has made using the same theme. The first was 1963's "The Incredible Journey." The second was essentially a remake of the first, "Homeward Bound." In the remake the animals talked rather than having a narration. This movie capitalizes on the success of the original with a variation on the theme of the original.
This time our three friends, Shadow, a golden retriever, Sassy, a Himalayan cat, and Chance, an American bulldog escape from their cages at San Francisco International Airport, thinking they are going to "the bad place," though they are actually heading for a vacation. Once their family arrives at their destination, they learn the animals have escaped and arrange to return home to find them. We see very little of the family after that except to see their concern and a few moments at the end of the movie.
The focus is on the antics of the three critters. Chance, voiced by Ralph Waite, is always focused on getting home and being safe. Sassy, voiced by Sally Field, is aloof and sarcastic, taking every advantage of spitting out a one-liner about any particular situation, most especially anything involving Chance. Chance, voiced by Michael J. Fox, is the oblivious goofball who attempts to interpret everything he sees in his own bizarre, usually wrong, way. Chance makes a perfect target for Sassy's barbed comments.
We follow the three animals, who really are friends, as they journey through San Francisco, trying to locate the Golden Gate Bridge and the way home. Along the way they encounter dog thieves looking for laboratory dogs, a fire, mean dogs and friendly dogs who do not understand how these three could want to go back to humans because of the experiences these strays have had with humans.
This story has everything you could want in an adventure story about dogs. There is love, humor, and a happy, nearly hilarious ending. While this story is not quite up to par with the original or the remake, it is readily worth watching with the kids more than once, especially if you are looking for an easy laugh. Even the youngest children in the family will enjoy this one, especially after the brief moments when things look dark for the animals. Just be prepared to say no when your little ones ask for a puppy or a kitten. Enjoy!

Hal Ashby (The Last Detail, Being There) directed this lyrical and affecting 1976 biography of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. David Carradine gives a powerful performance as the traveling Depression-era vagabond whose music affected generations. Guthrie is portrayed as an earnest soul whose passion and empathy for the working class spurs him to inspirational heights. Ronny Cox (Deliverance, Beverly Hills Cop) plays a union organizer who sees the value in Guthrie's words and music and persuades him to put his music to good use for the people struggling to earn a living wage. Featuring Melinda Dillon as Guthrie's wife, this easygoing travelogue conveys an authentic sense of period Americana and won Academy Awards for Haskell Wexler's cinematography as well as for the score based on Guthrie's own music. Bound for Glory is an important film to see for anyone in love with the origins of folk music and interested in its place in the 20th century. --Robert Lane
Description
By strumming his guitar with words of inspiration, Woody Guthrie instilled hope in the hearts of downtrodden Americans everywhere during the 1930s Depression. Now, the extraordinary life of this legendary balladeer and poet is captured in this "elegantly crafted, hugely beautiful and interesting film, which reveals loving integrity in every frame" (Los Angeles Times)! Winner* of two OscarsÂ(r) and starring David Carradine, Bound for Glory features "magnificent cinematography" (New York) and an amazing score adaptation. It's 1936, and the Great Depression is forcing droves of people from the dust bowls of Texas to the alluring green fields of California...and unemployed sign-painter Woody Guthrie is among them. Determined to find a better life out west, Guthrie hitchhikes, hops freight trains and sings his way across America, uplifting the spirits of the poor with his homespun wisdom and fiercely fighting for a better life for all. Featuring classic Guthrie tunes including "This Land Is Your Land," this "moving, inspiring" (The Hollywood Reporter) portrait of an American icon is "one of [the] year's most admirable and triumphant surprises" (Los Angeles Times)! *1976: Cinematography, Music (Adaptation Score)
Customer Reviews:
Bound for Glory.......2007-07-03
Affecting film achieves potent immediacy via its vivid recreation of period, thanks to Ashby's keen eye and Haskell Wexler's stunning cinematography. Carradine embodies the everyman engine of America's heartland in his rendering of Guthrie, an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift- the ability to inspire those who have virtually nothing left but hope. Both a triumphant film and an important history lesson, suitable for viewing with older children.
Not the Full Picture..........2007-05-25
"This movie cleans-up Woody's personal life and his many binges and focuses primarily on his union organizing. Unlike Woody's autobiographical
book,Bound for Glory, it did not deal with the struggles he endured from his mother's mental illness, nor his own. The photography was good, the sound was a little off, but most importantly, the film doesn't capture the complexity of Woody Guthrie.
They don't make 'em like Woody very often..........2007-04-12
This is one of the great biopic films ever made. More often than not, film biopics are too rushed. They try and squeeze in every aspect of their subjects lives, and they end up giving short shrift to the person and their lives. This is not one of those films. It just covers Woody Guthrie's adult life, from when he hit the road to when he became a big time folk singer, and his passionate defense of the working man. The look of the film is deliberate, in that it's washed out. The hoedown scenes at the camp are some of the best in the film. They're really lively, where the extras and everyone seem to be really enjoying themselves. The film has a real genuine feel to it, like you're actually watching real people. David Carradine is amazing as Woody Guthrie. He makes you think you're actually watching Woody himself. He did his own singing and stuntwork on the film. Ronny Cox is excellent as well, and he does his own singing too (remember, Cox played the man who jammed with the hillbilly in Deliverance). Randy Quaid and Melinda Dillon offer great supporting roles as well. This is a fabulous film, and it feels short at 2 1/2 hours.
For TEACHERS!.......2006-08-14
If you're a US History teacher who uses Grapes of Wrath to show what it was like during the depression...and English teachers get upset because they show it,too. Here's the movie you SHOULD show....and...it's in color. Far better example of Americana of the 1930s.
[Really three-and-a-half out of Four] David Carradine's best all around acting performance!.......2006-06-24
Basically, it's about depression era singer-
poet-songwriter Woody Guthrie's travels aro-
nd the USA to help bering attention to the
WPAs ['We Piddle Around']/ New (Socialist)
Deal crowds' ignoring of the working man's
problems. Putting Guthrie into the proper
Historical perspective, he was Will Rogers
+ Father Charles Coughlin v. the tyranical
Masonic FDR Administration's follies that
lead this country into W.W.II, unnecessar-
ily! Carradine and the emsamble cast, part-
icularly Ronnie Cox, are outstanding!

Trouble bound.......2007-02-17
Great movie, not a blockbuster but keeps your interest, great settings and Patricia Arquette is very cute in a nice girl gone wrong kinda role.
Highly recommend this movie.
A Very Funny, Witty, And Enjoyable Film: Underrated!.......2006-10-18
Some people may not consider this a five-star film, but I sure do [maybe I am a bit biased on this one] However, I thought the entire film was very good, and funny to boot. Harry Talbot (Michael Madsen) has just been released from prison. While playing poker he wins a cadillac from one of the losers. However, he was meant to lose. In the back of the trunk is the body of a man who has just been murdered by the mob. However, the card players don't realize that there is something important on this dead man's body. As Harry heads off to Nevada, he finds himself stalked by the mob: Led by a character named Zand (Paul Ben-Victor).
Along the way Harry meets Kit Califano (Patricia Arquette) who is out to kill the man who murdered her father. He father was connected to the mob. She is attempting to kill mob boss Santino (Seymour Cassel). Harry knows nothing about Kit's past, or who she is. That is not until he finds himself pursued by the hitmen sent to grab Kit and take her home. Kit's grandmother is now head of the mob family, and she is trying to rein in her granddaughter.
Meanwhile, there is still the question of the missing dead man, whose body another mob gang wants. [he has the key to a safe with millions of dollars] When they finally track Harry down, they can't find it on the dead man's body. The problem is that the deceased individual swallowed the key to prevent it from being found [he was being tortured at the time]. The film is not for everyone, and some may not think it is that good. I do, and believe it is very underrated. The film also stars Billy Bob Thornton, [as the character Coldface] the card player who intentionally lost the cadillac to Harry. Recommended with caution. Rent it first to see if it is your taste. I think the film is very good, quirky and underrated. [Stars: 4.5]
Can't go wrong with this one!.......2003-03-31
I'd have to echo the previous reviewers and say this is an excellent road picture. WIth a great cast.
the best road movie ever.......2000-06-19
Patricia Arquette and Michael Madsen are amazingly wonderful in this film. And I don't understand why this film is not on sale anymore. Is there any way we could get it back. I'm dying to buy it. This is the best road movie I've ever seen in years !
great road movie.......1999-05-31
This is one rockin road pic, it just keeps getting stranger, I cuoldn't stop laughing. Rustam Branaman and Billy Bob thornton are great as bad guys.

Snow Bound.......2007-05-08
I am very pleased with this product. It came really quick after I ordered it and it was in excellent shape. The movie was excelent, too!
Snow Bound.......2006-06-09
I thought that, as far as true stories go, this was one of the best. How much you feel what Jim and Jennifer felt towards each other. Here you have two young people, newly married with a newborn infant, who are so much in love. Jim is in the army and barely makes ends meet when catastrophy strikes. His grandmother dies in Idaho. Jim takes leave, they borrow Jennifer's brother's truck and head up into the mountains to attend the funeral. But, they get detoured and end up stranded in the wild life preserve for 10 days. They see their baby dieing before their eyes and feel hopeless. Jim, seeing they have no time left, leaves his wife and child in a cave and attempts to walk the 80 miles to get help. How nice it is to see just how many miles love can take you. Very good tv movie!!!!
Great Flick.......2006-03-24
I saw this movie on tv when I was a kid. I can't believe it's actually coming out on dvd. It's incredibly sad, but overall it's worth watching. And Doogie Houser is in it! Wow, what else can you ask for.

In these final episodes, Tokyo University Law School dropout and self-proclaimed free spirit Kintaro Oe continues bicycling his way through Japan learning different jobs and surprising the experts with his insights. He defeats an Olympic star swimming instructor by showing her a more humane approach to teaching children and outraces a beautiful motorcyclist when the brakes fail on his bike. The last episode in this goofy series is an outrageous spoof of the Japanese animation industry. Kintaro begins as a production administrator trainee/gofer but saves the day when the studio risks missing a crucial deadline. He calls in the women he helped (and lusted after) in previous episodes and rallies the artists with his boundless enthusiasm. As Kintaro's enthusiasm is matched only by his libido, it's all very silly and often crass, with his visceral reactions digitally disguised. Rated 17 Up: Nudity, violence, profanity, sexual and toilet humor. --Charles Solomon
Description
How does he do it? Whether he's an idiot or a genius, you have to give Golden Boy Kintaro Oe credit for always knowing how to turn the ladies on. The problem is, once he's turned them on, he doesn't know how to turn them off! Whether he's out-stroking an Olympic swimmer, overheating a motorcycle-obsessed racer or taking charge of an entire animation studio, the Golden Boy always seems to end up surrounded by both beautiful women and impossible tasks! Watch him take them all on in the second and final collection of Golden Boy!
Customer Reviews:
Hilarious!.......2005-11-05
Bound for Glory, the second and last volume in the Golden Boy anime, is much better than the first volume. Containing three episodes, Bound for Glory had me falling on the floor laughing.
In the first episode, Kintaro gets a job as a swimming coach. The head of the school is a gorgeous, yet arrogant former Olympic gold-medalist. Kintaro challenges her to a race in one month's time. When I saw that, I thought "Oh, boy, here is the predictable plot where we see he is really a champion swimmer all along, and just pretending to flounder in the water."
But thankfully, this episode is not predictable at all. From the first DVD, we already know he is secretly trying to help others. The writers did a great job in not rehashing this over and over. Really, the three episodes here are completely fresh.
The second episode is about the beautiful daughter of a wealthy man who lives in a traditional Japanese estate. But, she has a secret. She is literally "in love" with her motorcycle. Only the motorcycle can get her off.
The last episode really teaches you a lot about what goes into making hand-drawn anime in Japan. All the girls return in this episode. Love it!
Bound for Glory also crosses the line from heavy ecchi into hentai. The first and second episodes are very funny, but also are hentai. The third episode is a tamer, but terrific, resolution to the adventures of Kintaro Oe and his bike, Crescent Moon.
BENKYOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Golden Boy wins Oscar for Best Goofy Anime.......2002-10-07
Kintaro Oe starts out each day lusting after a different girl. All girls he seeks want nothing to do with him until the episode is almost over. That is when Kintaro makes his exist with the girls desperately wanting him. Golden Boy is an original anime. It mixes sexual themes with education. Yes, you actually can learn something by watching these cartoons. Kintaro may be a pervert but he seeks education which makes for a pretty entertaining and highly humorous anime. A+ for Golden Boy.
study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study!!.......2002-09-29
Both volumes of Goldenboy are absolutely hilarious! If you like ["off"]humor, this will definately become one of your favorites. I feel that the movie is best watched in its original Japanese language with English subtitles so that you can truely enjoy the sounds and expressions of Kintaro Oe. I would have to say that episode 5 was by far the funniest!
Goldenboy = Gold.......2002-05-29
Goldenboy is anime comedy at its best. A hint of hentai (perverse themes), a hint of Japanese education, and a hint of everything that can go wrong when you're new at something.
Always a pleasure to watch Kintaro Oe and his blunuderous misadventures.
As far as the dvd goes, it's excellent. The quality is never arguable and the detail of the menus are always drawing attention; plus, the fact that Japanese and Chinese languages can be heard/selected is always an upper (and it's usually mandatory in anime dvd's).
Thumbs up for the golden glory!
The lusty, righteous hero continues ..........2002-05-10
Through each episode you see a different angle on the nature of a young man with passion for life, work and women. The viewer is also treated to a different angle of life in Japan with each installment. Episode 4 takes Kintaro from the freezing Tokyo winter into a warm indoor swimming school where he faces the fridgid heart of an Olympic swimmer who has no time in her life for anything other then her athletic prowess. The underdog Kintaro undergoes a month long training to try and beat her on her own turf, and in the end succeeds by unexpectedly revealing her emotional deficits. The 5th episode is a look at the dichotomy of interests within a proper young girl of the Japanese traditional elite where Kintaro again must overcome the interests of the lady in subject in order to win her affections. Her conservative, majestic appearance is juxtaposed by a broiling, hateful sexuality below her pristine veneer. This time around, it is Kintaro on his bicycle versus a woman on a racing motorcycle in the perilous mountain passes of western Japan. There is a unique little cameo by the creator Egawa in a Porsche 911. During the final 5 minutes is the most amazing chase sequence anime has ever seen, and the technical aspects along with the humor and craft of the story are incredible. Lastly, Kintaro works as a production assistant in a sweatshop animation studio forced by consequence into an impossible deadline on the smash cartoon 'Golden Girl'. An insightful parody on the A.P.P.P. studio which made the 'Golden Boy' series brings a slew of unique characters into the show and allows understanding of the anime artist's lifestyle. In the end, Kintaro must find each of the women in his past adventures in order to complete his mission in animation and save the studio from going under....but now the shoe is on the other foot and the women WANT Kintaro for themselves.
Always a pleasure; Golden Boy doesn't disappoint due to the complexity of the characters, the clever plot turns and rich skill of animation. There is always an interesting view on the relation between men and women with Kintaro on the defensive against his own hormones and their guile, or on the attack against their fortified hearts. The art is supreme- I was just watching the amazingly human animation on the third episode. Obviously the crew used plenty of photo reference and video to accurately recreate the specific worlds for each installment. The first DVD is a combo of all information put out by ADV to help assist the Golden Boy VHS series in 1996, and further extras are lacking but unnecessary since the entertainment is in the show itself. A must buy for anime fans! Caution: sexually explicit situations.

TNA Bound For Glory is a 5 star ppv.......2007-04-18
80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful
1. Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelly vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong in a four way X-Division match- This was a great way to kick off the show. In fact this match was free because they had so many matches on the card that you could watch this one and than decide if you wanted to order the ppv or not. Anyway this was about a 15 minute match with non stop action. There were tons of highflying moves and there were a lot of near falls. Not a lot to say but a great way to kick off the PPV. Winner Sonjay Dutt. Match Rating 8/10.
2. The Samoan Submission Machine Soma Joe vs. Jushin Thunder Liger- This was another good choice to kick off the paid part of bound for glory. Joe had just really started in TNA and had not even been in for a year and they were already counting his streak. At the time Thunder Liger seemed like he was the right one to take Joe down. This match started off great lots of fast paced action. Joe even jumped trough the ropes onto the outside. There were a lot of near falls but it ended with Joes famous chock hold. Good match. Winner Soma Joe. Match Rating 7.5/10.
3. The Diamonds in The Rough vs. Sonny Siaki, Apolo and Shark Boy- This was another solid match but was a step down from the last two. The diamonds in the rough have always been a great tag team and they showed it here ven though this seemed almost like a filler. There was just some solid tag team wrestling here. There came one part in the match were every wreslter in the match did some sort of dive to the outside which was sweet. There were a few near falls but It was a very solid match for the time given. Winner The Diamonds in The rough. Match Rating 7/10.
4. The Alpha Male Monty Brown vs. Lance Hoyt- This also seemed like a filler but it turned out to be a decent match. I am not to strong on remembering this match but monty brown did carrie this one. Not to much to say but a decent match. Winner Monty Brown. Match Rating 6.5/10.
5. The 3Live Crew vs. Team Canada- This was probably the worst match on the whole card. I have said this before I really cant stand road dog wrestling his whole team was not that solid but this was passable. Just a solid match with Team Canada carrying this one but the turn at the end when Konan turned on 3Live Crew was perfect and it earns an extra point in my book. Winners The 3Live Crew. Match Rating 6/10.
6. Matt Bently vs. Peaty Williams vs. Chris Sabin in an ultimate X match- Now this was supposed to be a good match and it was but the match did not live up to the expectations because the x kept falling down. To start the match there was tons of action including a powerbomb from the ropes hanging up and a nice elbow drop from the top of the ropes. There were some hurricanrans to the outside of the ring and just non stop action all the way around. The X kept falling and the second time it just fell into Peaty hand. Winner Peaty Williams. Match Rating 7.5/10.
7. Americas Most Wanted vs. The Naturals for the NWA tag team titles- This was a very solid match. This was just one day after Americas Most Wanted won the belts and began there long title raign. This was a very solid match with the Naturals wating revenge. In this match to start it was just brutal. There was blood and everything including a sick powerbomb through into the steel guard rail by Americas most wanted. The Naturals kept on fighting back and there were so many near falls but than one member of The Naturals got handcuffed to the guardrail and was stuck there as his teammate got destroyed. Winners and still NWA tag team champs Americas Most Wanted. Match Rating 8/10.
8. The Monster Balls Match Jeff Hardy vs. Sabu vs. Abyss vs. Rhino- This was an absolutely brutal match and in my opinion a good contender for match of the year and I am serious when I say that. Every one in this match brought something to the table and they showed it here. There were so many weapons tons of tables, chairs, steel signs, thumbtacks, kendo sticks trash cans everything you name it. Anyway there were a lot of cool spots in the match Sabu had a lot of sweet table spots were he jumped to the outside and put Rhino through a table. One of the sweetest spots that you will ever see in wrestling was Jeff Hardy got on top of a ladder and climbed to the top of the impact zone and jumped so far across the stage and hit a Swanton Bomb on Abyss through two tables. You have to see this to believe it one of the sweetest spots you will ever see in wrestling. Rhino hit a sick gore on Abyss through a table and just a great match to watch awesome stuff right here. Winner Rhino. Match Rating 10/10.
9. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels for the X-Division title in a 30 minute iron man match- This was another great match to fallow the last one we just saw. Both men here brought every thing to the table. Two watch these two wrestle is just awesome so many high flying moves so many near falls just awesome stuff here. You might get borred in a few spots but trust me I cant really describe the match you just have to watch it a great match enjoyed by all. Winner and still X-Division Champ AJ Styles. Match Rating 9/10.
10. Abyss vs. Rhino vs. Monty Brown vs. AJ Styles vs. Ron the Truth Killings vs. Kip James vs. Samoa Joe vs. Lance Hoyt vs. Sabu vs. Jeff Hardy in a 10 man gauntlet for the number 1 contender to the NWA title- This was another solid match. This was just some fun wrestling that keeps you at the edge of your seet to just root for the guy you want to win not so much about the wrestling. A good match that was the right time and a really unpredictable match of who was going to win. Winner Rhino. Match Rating 7/10.
11. Jeff Jarret vs. Rhino for the NWA title- This match was right after the gauntlet match and it was not a classic but it was still good. Jarret controlled a lot of this match and basically played the heel role on beating rhino down after he had been in two matches. Rhino made his comback but gail kim got involved and Jarret nailed the guitar shot on rhino when he went for the gore but only got 2. Rhino hit the gore out of know were and won the title jarret looked shocked after the match the put rhino in a casket but team 3D made there return to save Rhino. A great way to end the show and a big surprise for Rhinos title win. Winner and New NWA Champ Rhino. Match Rating 7/10.
Well that raps up another. I would give Bound For Glory 2005 a grade of 83.5/110 which is a 76% which means this is a perfect ppv. You Damn right it is this is one of the best ppvs I have ever watched there were 2 awsome matches tons of solid ones and not one that got below a 6 from me. Just a really great ppv. I am telling you that you need to pick this up if you can. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not I would appreciate that. Thanks for your time.
Just as good as Wrestlemania.......2006-11-24
I liked this PPV for sure. It lived up to the hype. The Samoa Joe match with Liger was fantastic. The tag team match was great between AMV and the naturals. The Monsters Ball match was insane to watch, although it is funny watching Jeff Hardy telling Abyss his spots out loud enough to hear it. The main event was really good also with Rhino getting the belt. The ending with Team 3D making the save was good also. Well done. If this is the only TNA PPV you are going to buy, it would be well done.
The biggest event in TNA.......2006-08-23
TNA Bound For Glory 2005 was an awesome event can't wait for Bound For Glory this year. I think this year's will beat last years cuz of the addition of Sting and Christian Cage and also TNA is getting out of Orlando which is a good thing but i hope TNA can go to bigger arenas for PPV's and Impact tapings cuz they can get lots of more money cuz they do need some extra cash
to get some more big names.But still TNA is a fantastic promotion which will just keep getting better in the years to come.PS for all you WWE fans out there who hate TNA let me tell you one thing every wrestler in TNA thats right including the knockouts aka the women in TNA can wrestle better than John Cena and by the way even though WWE has three shows both Smackdown and ECW suck only RAW is good. To end this review im gonna say if you think TNA sucks order Bound For Glory 2006 or yet any TNA ppv cuz they're cheaper and better than WWE ppv's and i guarantee you will like TNA.
Bound For Glory.......2006-08-12
This ppv was a good event for tna with alot lot of good or great matchs here is the card
samoa joe vs jushin thunder liger
this match was kinda disappointing because it was pretty short but it still was a good match 7.5/10
6 man tag match
diamonds in the rough vs apollo & sunny siaki & shark boy
this was was and ok match i just think that the diamonds in the rough are not used right david young is a great wrestler but he loses all the time i mean in a another promotion he had a match with aj styels that was a classic and elix skipper should be fight for the x title but the match was ok 6.5/10
lance hyot vs monty brown
a really good match with hyot leaping over the top rope onto monty & monty really impresses me with his power 8/10
6 man tag
3lk vs team canadas eric young/bobby rude & a-1
this match i liked because i like the story line with kip james & the 3lk plus the trurth is one of my favorite wrestlers in tna so the match is good 7.5/10
ulitimate x match
petey williams vs chris sabin vs matt bentley
this match was not as good as the other ones i heard about even though it was a good match don't get me worng but the match could have been mabey 5 min longer and not such a horrible ending and what maid me kinda mad was that they had a better ulitimate x on free tv but still a good match 8/10
nwa tag team championships
amw vs the naturals
great tag team match with both me giving there all in that tna ring 8.5/10
monsters ball match
sabu vs jeff hardy vs rhyno vs abyss
of the hook awesome some great bumps in this one that you will not forget i mean jeff hardy jumped of the top of the tna set witch had to be a good 30 feet through a table that abyss was laying on awesome match 9.5/10
30 min iron man match
aj styles vs christopher daniels
another great match styles had to be in some pain after this one was over i want to see the iron man match from agenst all odds because people said that one was little bit better but this is still a great match 9/10
gauntlet match-number 1 contender
and ok match alot of the men had wrestled that night but alot of people give rhyno all the golry because he won and wrestled 3 match but aj styles should get alot of credit because he had just had a 30 min iron man match any way it was ok 7.5/10
nwa championship
jeff jarret vs rhyno
the match might have been only 5:30 but it was on heak of a battle mainly because of the crowds reaction after the match
was great 8.5/10
this was a great ppv i relly recmommend this ppv
History lesson w/Mr M.......2006-08-05
If any body wants to find out about an certain superstar or their favorie wrestler in the business than go to Wikipedia,The Free Encyclopedia.Just over the past 8 months or so I have found out so much about wrestling that I didnt know previoulsy example;
Smark-A perosn who know wrestling is fake and staged but enjoy its product anyway.
Mark-A person who thinks wrestling is real rather than realizing the existence of it being worked an kayfabe.Most marks are children or young teenagers who are devoted fans of pro wrestling.
Kayfabe-Worked events that are part of an storyline.Breaking Kayfabe would be like an actor breaking his role or character on camera.
Shoot-Anything in wrestling that is real;unplanned and spontaneuous.That is real not staged.(Like Survivor Series 1997,Bret Hart thought the match would end on dq,but Vince screwed Bret over by ringing the bell.That was real as can be.100% "shoot").
Botch-A scripted move that fails or another wrestler executes the move poorly or wrong.(EX Owen Harts tombstone piledriver done to Stone Cold the wrong way at SummerSlam 1997;).
Booker-The person that are in charge of setting up matches and writing angles referred to as "The Creative Team in WWE".(EX Jeff Jarrett is the booker in TNA his fathers company,and Triple H is somewhat of an booker in the WWE his stepfather and his wifes dad).
Babyface-A good guy in wrestling(EX;The Undertaker).
Heel-A bad guy in wrestling(EX;Umanga).
Call-When one wrestler instructs the other wrestler what move they are going to do next
Dud-A very poor or uninteresting match(Like most of Funakis matches.Booooooooooring!).
Heat-A wrestler getting crowd reaction.
Heat Vaccum-A wrestler who cant get any crowd reaction positive or negative.(Ex;Charlie Haas this year).
Juicing-Bleeding in wrestling.
Hardway Juicing-Bleeding that is real,not fake,
Job-A scheduled loss planned ahead of time.
Sell-Reacting to another wrestlers offense making it look real).
No Sell-Giving no reaction to another wrestlers offense.(Like at Wrestlemania 12,HHH pedigreed Ultimate Warrior but he got right back up.Thats no selling).
Stiff-A wrestler that puts too much excessive force onto an opponent deliberatly or accidentally.
Squash-A one sided affair w/one wrestler dominating his opponet the whole match.
Spotfest-Big moves during the whole match.
A-Show-A wrestling company that gets the most watches Raw/SmackDown/ECW/TNA
Ok I think you get the point.And thanks for having an history lesson w/Mr M.And all this time I thought wrestling was "fake".

Yet another movie ..........2005-07-17
I watched the movie and have some mixed feelings. The movie is well done, no doubts here.
Why then I didn't give it 5 stars? Well, it raises all the same questions about drugs, gangs, life in misery with no hopes. Yes, the questions are important. If you just came from another planet that movie would probably open your eyes. But if you've been around for a few years, that movie won't tell you anything new. It repeats the same messages. So after watching the film I got that deja vu feeling - like I've already seen it somewhere. Maybe in another movie, or maybe in the news or right on the street. There is nothing special making that movie to stand out, just yet another film about troubled youth not able to escape a circle of drugs and street gangs.
Incredible movie- riveting and edgy- a fresh perspective on the classic human struggle with a tragic twist .......2005-07-13
Brooklyn Bound combines that rare combination of gut wrenching reality and quality entertainment. While this movie and that other well known drugs and violence classic both deal with the same subject matter, that's where the similarity ends, and not to many folks would be able to identify with Tony Montana. What makes this movie so riveting is its ability to humanize Sean, the main character, and the rest of the cast, while exposing the brutal and sordid underbelly of the streets in and around the projects of Brooklyn. It hits the mark, when, while viewing the movie, one gets the sense that they are watching a fascinating and violent documentary of the streets and the culture, rather than a work of fiction. Throw in a temple blasting hip hop soundtrack and this is one awesome movie. Sure to become a classic.
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!.......2005-06-08
I saw this movie at the tribeca film festival last year. I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy of this movie for a long time.
It is a spectacular film. The acting was superb. It truly portrays the urban grit of life in the drug infested hood.
You start to care about the characters even though you know they should be punished for their poor choices in life, you don't want them to be.
This is a top notch movie and I know I enjoyed it.
