With the smash hit Scream, novice screenwriter Kevin Williamson and veteran horror director Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) revived the moldering corpse of the teen horror picture, both creatively and commercially, by playfully acknowledging the exhausted clichés and then turning them inside out. Scream is a postmodern slasher movie, a horror film that cleverly deconstructs horror films, then reassembles the dead tissue, and (like Frankenstein's monster) creates new life. When a serial killer starts hacking up their fellow teens, the media-savvy youngsters of Scream realize that the smartest way of sticking around for the sequel is to avoid the terminal behaviors that inevitably doom supporting players in the movies. They've seen all the movies, and the rules of the genre are like second nature to them. One of the scariest/funniest setups features a kid watching John Carpenter's seminal Halloween on video. As Jamie Lee Curtis is shadowed by Michael Meyers and the kid on the couch yells at her to turn around, Craven reverses his camera and we see that the kid should be taking his own advice. The fresh-faced young cast (including Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell, Skeet Ulrich, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette) is fun to watch, and their tart dialogue is sprinkled with enough archly self-conscious pop-culture references to make Quentin Tarantino blush. The digital video disc includes an audio commentary by director Craven. --Jim Emerson

Worth purchasing.......2007-03-11

If you have ever thought about singing or doing anything vocally, this DVD is for you. This instructional DVD is easily worth ten times the price you will pay for it.

A little Disappointed..........2006-11-07

The information you are looking for is in here. The thing that made me disappointes is that for the most part it is an ad for Melissa Cross. She seems like an awesome teacher. I just wish that it was more information on technique than Melissa Cross plugs.

Amazing!.......2006-03-19

Nothing is more frustrating than being in a band, knowing what you want to do, but being unable to get there--either because you're not warmed up, you damaged your throat the night before, or you just don't know what you're doing. This DVD will help you solve all of those problems!

I've fooled around with other kinds of vocal instruction, but they are all too clasically based. Melissa Cross get's it. She gets that rock is not supposed to sound like opera. She has found a way to apply traditional vocal training without altering the intensity and grit essential to rock singing.

She covers everything from breathing and talking to hitting your pitch and screaming without hurting yourself. If you check out the bonus features she even swallows a camera to show you how you can hurt yourself while singing.

When I first got the DVD, I was afraid it would be a bunch of people screaming because they couldn't be musical in their band. But it turns out to be anything but that. Its great to see all of these guys who sing some really heavy stuff challenging themselves to be more musical and more expressive without killing themselves or sacrificing their artistic vision. Only Melissa Cross could get these guys to do this.

If you are a rock singer (you don't even have to be a screamer--though screamers are welcomed) or want to be a rock singer, you need this DVD.

Complete Rip Off.......2006-02-25

Not only is this DVD useless, Melissa Cross seems to drop every name she can in order to impress us. Impressed I was not. I learned NOTHING from this DVD.

An Absolute Revelation!.......2006-02-01

A great teacher is a rare find and Melissa Cross is a gem. I have read almost every vocal technique book available and The Zen of Screaming DVD is by far the best! I had given up on being able to sing with a healthy voice until I watched this DVD. I feel like I have been given my voice back. Somehow, Melissa gives the viewer years worth of vocal lessons in a little over 2 hours. Although many of the artists on this DVD scream/sing heavily, you don't have to be a death metal singer to appreciate the information. This DVD is for anyone who wants to sing with passion, no matter the genre. Melissa breaks down the information in such a way that anyone, beginner or classically trained, can understand the basic techniques that help to make a passionate but healthy voice. This DVD is also great for anyone who speaks for their profession. It will teach you how to have a powerful voice without vocal damage. I have bought numerous items from Amazon.com, but have never felt passionately enough about them to post a review. Don't wait another minute to hit the "buy" button.

Great Thriller.......2007-06-17

A great thriller, though extremely cheesy. I'm not a very conservative person, but I was surprised by the amount of swear words. As usual, the special "collector's edition" extras are nothing special.

"There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to survive a horror movie...".......2007-05-23

By the mid-'90s, the teen slasher genre seemed utterly played out. But in 1996, a seemingly unlikely figure helped resurrect the genre. That man was director Wes Craven, the horror maestro who had himself been largely responsible for kickstarting the genre in the '80s with the classic "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (1984). A dozen years later, he directed a new classic called "Scream." Written by Kevin Williamson ("Dawson's Creek"), it's a self-referential horror film/satire that's both terrifying and hilarious.

Craven had actually written and delivered another self-referential, postmodern take on the teen horror genre two years earlier, with "New Nightmare." But since that film was the seventh installment in the left-for-dead Elm Street series, it was largely overlooked. "Scream," on the other hand, boasted a new story line, more laughs and a hot young cast, and it quickly became a hit with critics and audiences.

Neve Campbell plays Sidney Prescott, a teenage girl still coping with the violent death of her mother a year earlier. Now, a deranged killer is offing her classmates and other members of the community. Worse, the murderer's got his eye set on Sidney, terrorizing her with a series of creepy phone calls. A tabloid reporter (Courtney Cox) thinks the current serial killer may be the same person who murdered Sidney's mom.

Sidney's friends try to comfort her by cracking wise about horror films and offering advice on how she can avoid becoming the killer's latest victim. It may not sound helpful, but it's better than leaving herself in the hands of bumbling Deputy Dwight Riley (the perpetually annoying David Arquette). In the end, everyone is a suspect, and Sidney races to find the killer's identity and save her life.

"Scream" succeeds as both a satire and a horror film. Williamson's excellent script tweaks every scary movie cliche and asks the question every horror buff wants to know: Why, when the heroine is being chased by the killer, does she run up the stairs instead of out the front door? It's a blast to watch the film's characters talk horror, even as they're being stalked by the killer.

Of course, the humorous self-referencing wouldn't be nearly as fun if the movie wasn't damn scary in its own right. With a petrifying opening sequence, Craven immediately establishes that he hasn't lost his touch for delivering scares. Ferociously acted by Drew Barrymore -- giving perhaps her finest performance to date -- it's guaranteed to leave you whimpering.

From there, the laughs and scares come fast and furious and don't stop 'till the film's knockout finale. While "Scream" did regrettably spawn a slew of weak imitations (including its own limp sequels), the original is a scary treat you don't want to miss.

pretty scary .......2007-05-07

This movie is so scary. I love drew barrymore and neve campbell. they are great actresses. Too bad drew's character casey is so short-lived in the movie. overall, a great scary movie. I just love slasher movies. Scream 2 is great too.

Scream.......2007-05-03

Scream is the best scary movie I've ever seen.My favorite part of the whole movie was of course the opening seen.I mean, Drew Barrymore did a
really good job in the scene.It was about 12 minutes of her and the killer
playing cat and mouse, it was really cool.And I also like the ending because it's where they have the two killers and Sidney.And it just ended in a real bloodbath.So seriously, watch this movie

Scream DVD.......2007-02-21

I was one of the fortunate to view all three flicks at the cinema. This is definitely the best one of them all. There is just one issue that this DVD is lacking from the rest: WHY ISN'T THIS DVD ENHANCED FOR WIDESCREEN PRESENTATIONS ON 16:9 TELEVISIONS LIKE THE OTHER ONES ARE?

For Fans of Campy Sci-Fi and Phillip K. Dick.......2007-03-29

Filmed in the Montreal area during that period of time in the 90s when it was economically advantageous to shoot movies in Quebec, Screamers is a loose adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "Second Variety". It is a throw-back to the days when campy sci-fi was still a marketable genre, it feels more late 80s than mid 90s. Peter Weller is seems to fit comfortably into this genre with just enough over-acting to not compromise his integrity.

Personally, I really loved the scenes that involved the screamers themselves: mechanical devices reminiscent of rats sporting razor sharp saw-blades in their heads. They are programmed to eliminate the "enemy" in this post apocalyptic setting, but, in the tradition of all great sci-fi, SOMETHING GOES TERRIBLY WRONG(spoken in classic, cinematic threateningly low voice). All to say that many will end up with severed limbs.

Definately a fun movie to watch, despite its lacking somewhat in the second act. It turns out that two of my wife's cousins were extras in the final act of the movie when dozens of "davids" come marching out of the compound. Makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable for me.

Scott

Loved it!!!.......2007-03-14

I loved this movie for it's sci-fi purity and simplicity. There's military, space, AI, mystery, suspense, nukes, drama, sexual tension, love... I'm planning to read more of the works from the writer that wrote the story the movie is based on. This is a classic sci-fi movie. Add it to your collection and get ready to watch it every 2 or 3 months.

Close to Phil Dicks vision, but not quite.......2007-02-04

I have collected books written by Philip K. Dick for as long as I can remember, including over 100 of his short stories in the original publication edtion going back to 1952. I've got all movies related to him, inluding Barjo, which is really pretty good, as an aside. Even the Valis opera on CD which is kind of strange.

Anyway, this movie, as said elsewhere, is a very good B-movie. There are no A-list actors here, mediocre special effects and some dropped threads in the story line here and there. But in general is the kind of movie I expect to be shown on a Saturday afternoon scary movie matinee.

Don't watch this expecting a high intensity movie. There are parts that are slow, but for the most part it moves along in a fairly steady pace keeping you interested in it long enough to finish your popcorn.

The ending is expected and nothing is really a surprise. Almost looks like a grad school film project, but nothing wrong with that, look at Halloween and THX 1138.

So, neither 1 nor 5 stars, but in the middle. Find it used, well worth 5 bucks.

IT IS NOT WIDESCREEN AS ADVERTIZED!!!!

I have ordered and returned this product 3 times. It is not widescreen. There is no option to for viewing it as widescreen. Amazon has no explanation for the mistake and unfortunately they will not correct the web page. This leads to an interesting question. Why does Mr. Leach state in his review that the disk offers a widescreen option when it doesn't? Either Amazon is massively screwing up the order or he is not reviewing this actual disk from Amazon. If that's the case, he should not be providing a review on it.

WONDERFUL ADAPTATION OF DICK'S SHORT STORY 'SECOND VARIETY' GETS THE MORBID & PARANOID ATMOSPHERE DOWN COLD.......2006-10-26

FIRST OFF: ALL SCI-FI GETS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT FROM ME

I must admit that this type of film, gritty futuristic sci-fi set on another planet, would have to be horrid for me to not like it. Nevertheless, I do believe that, objectively speaking, 'Screamers', based on the short story 'Second Variety' by Philip K. Dick, is an excellent and worthwhile film.

***---> $20 MILLION FOR A B-FILM?

It seems rather amazing that by 1995, a 20-million dollar budget would only produce a 'B film' which the critics have referred to as "budget challenged"! I do agree that more effort should have been made to create the setting for this film, but would that really have made it more effective? 'Screamers' still manages to create a rather chilling atmosphere where it feels like something horrible is about to happen, but we don't quite know what. The world of 'Screamers' seems real enough and the bleakness seems totally appropriate to the subject. Nevertheless, there is something in 'Screamers' that seems like it was filmed with the least amount of scenery, and whatever was on hand was adapted to fit the story. Maybe this is true and maybe not. In any event, the film still works and does not feel like it is suffering from a lack of anything, specifically, that a bigger budget would have bought.

***---> IN A NUTSHELL [there may be plot spoilers below]

Here we have a planet that was exploited for a new form of energy which fizzled out as it generated an immense, toxic, radioactive waste as a by-product of its production. Two factions collided over the issue and it is now 20 years later. The year is 2078 and there is little left of the planet Sirius 6B, once a real garden spot, we are told. A lone soldier comes to the alliance bunker where Marshall Joseph Hendricksson [Peter Weller] is commanding, with a message which seems to offer a peaceful solution to the war that has ravaged the planet. From here the story goes on the road, a kind of trek that we have seen in the 'Wizard of Oz'. Marshall Hendricksson departs from the bunker with one new arrival in search of his N.E.B.s counterpart to sort out the meaning of the peace offering.

--- ON THE WAY --- EXPOSITION AS WE HIKE TOWARD THE NEB's BUNKER

Everything you will ever want to know about the situation on Sirius 6B and more is delivered via a thinly-disguised expository lump. This comes in the form of Hendricksson telling the new arrival, 'Ace' [Andrew Lauer], who he has taken with him on the trek, everything WE need to know in order to better understand this rather meandering tale. On the way to meet with his NEBs counterpart, the Marshall and Ace find a little boy who appears to be orphaned, several NEBs stragglers, and an attractive black marketeer [Jennifer Rubin]. All of these people have a distinct and vital role in the story, and little is as it seems.

--- AND OF COURSE THERE ARE SCREAMERS!!!!!

These screamers are the real deal here and we never really know what is happening with them and what motivates them because the Alliance that created them, represented here by Marshall Hendricksson, doesn't know either. We do know that they are evolving and upgrading themselves in many rather scary ways and that nobody is safe as long as they are in the same universe as human beings.

And there lies the heart of the story -- the Screamers. Just what is their significance to the human race????? After you see the film you will know!

Amazon.com

Fully aware of its status as the sequel to the surprise hit thriller of 1996, this lively follow-up trades freshness for familiarity, playing on our affection for returning characters while obeying--and then subverting--the "rules" of sequels. Once again, movie references are cleverly employed to draw us into the story, which takes place two years after the events of Scream, at a small Ohio college, where the Scream survivors reunite when another series of mysterious killings begins. Capitalizing on the guesswork involving a host of potential suspects, director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson have crafted a thriller that's more of a Scream clone than a genuinely inventive new story. But the shocks are just as effective, and escalating tension leads to a tautly staged climax that's simultaneously logical and giddily over the top. Background information for trivia buffs: to preserve the secrecy of plot twists, copies of the screenplay were heavily guarded during production and restricted to only the most crucial personnel. When an early draft was circulated on the Internet, screenwriter Kevin Williamson did rewrites, and subsequent drafts were printed with red ink on brown paper, eliminating the threat of photocopying. None of the cast members knew who the killer was until the final scenes were filmed! --Jeff Shannon

Description

Here's the incredible follow-up to the smash hit phenomenon SCREAM! Away at college, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell -- SCREAM, WILD THINGS) thought she'd finally put the shocking murders that shattered her life behind her ... until a copycat killer begins acting out a real-life sequel! Now, as history eerily repeats itself, ambitious reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox -- SCREAM, SCREAM 3), deputy Dewey (David Arquette -- SCREAM, SCREAM 3), and other SCREAM survivors find themselves trapped in a terrifyingly clever plotline where no one is safe -- or beyond suspicion! Director Wes Craven (SCREAM) and hit-making writer Kevin Williamson (SCREAM, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) team up once again and deliver the big screen's hippest, coolest, edgiest thrill-ride ever!

Customer Reviews:

More scream, less theme.......2007-03-11

Just as they did in the first film, director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson have some witty, metacognitive fun with the conventions of the horror genre in this tale of survivors from the original "Scream" facing off against a copycat. Points made include how African Americans are thought to have a more realistic responses to horror situations yet are always among the first characters to die, the need for sequels to be gorier than originals, and the commercialization and packaging of spectacular cases of real-world violence. Unfortunately, the rule most effectively dramatized is the one that tells us that sequels are never as good as the original. All of the wit is packed into the first 40% of the film. By the time we get to the end, it has degenerated into a lot of running and stabbing and pointless plot twists.

Probably the best of all three Scream movies!!.......2006-07-19

The first Scream was fine, very cool, with scenes that could scare you to death...great.. The third and last Scream was maybe the worst, a little too predictable and boring sometimes, plus funny in other scenes. But this one, Scream 2, is the most terrifying of all them. The ways Ghostface appears are very horrifying, and you literally are on the edge of your seat the whole time....

One thing I have to mention is that the music they used in this movie was perfect. In a horror film, the music helps a lot, to remark the suspense, and that works amazingly good in this movie. Maybe the scene that scares the most is the one in which Sydney is at the theatre....with Ghostface chasing her. That scene is great!

The whole movie is great!, I hadrly recommend this movie, and this is not one of those trilogies in which you must see the first part otherwise you won't understand anything, that doesn't happen with Scream. If you want to see a good quality horror film, see Scream 2.

Greetings from Chile :)

Wes' highly ambitious mess.......2006-07-05

Wes Craven's follow-up to his highly successfull 1996 self-referential groundbreaker is a big-budget gaudy mess of a movie, albeit an ambitious one. As with the previous film, the best part is at the beginning: a surreal Rocky-Horror like parody of a sneak preview of "Stab," that chronicles the events of the first Scream film with gleeful self-parody and brazen exploitation (featuring Heather Graham doing some really sly comic work in the now-famous Drew Barrymore Gets Killed opening sequence). From that point out, the film degenerates into a somewhat routine self-parody as well, though this one not as funny or as shocking as the scene in the cinema. It's not bad, not at all....there are some good bits. However the overall tone is smug and a bit too forced, as screenwriter Williamson repeatedly tries to outdo his script for the previous Scream. Things get more and more chaotic (this has got to be one of the LOUDEST films in recent memory), but to no real satisfying end. The momentum doesn't hold this time and it plays like a made for TV film at some points. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox all wear on the nerves as their character's plot-lines and dialogue become so cloying and comfy-cozy we begin to realize they'll definitely be around for future installments, and given their limited ranges as performers, that's not necessarily a good thing. On the other hand, there are good solid turns from Jamie Kennedy (livening things up again as movie freak Randy) and from the supporting cast which includes Sarah Michelle Gellar in a "When a Stranger Calls" type homage, and Laurie Metcalf, who looks like she's having the time of her life serving up a very cold hammy casserole.

A sequel that's a great companion piece to the original.......2006-06-21

Throughout the years, I've grown to appreciate Scream 2 as one of the best sequels ever. It doesn't insult the intelligence of the audience, you care for all the characters and their well being and most importantly when its revealed who's responsible for the killings: the motivation makes perfect sense.

It's fun to watch the beginning as Jada Pinkett-Smith bemoans the fact that horror films have never really had black actors and/or actresses, and yet this film has four talented black actors including Duane Martin, Omar Epps, the lovely Elise Neal and Jada.

Even when an actor has a small part like Sarah Michelle Gellar, it becomes pivitol to the plot. I know in the audio commentary Wes Craven didn't really like the explanation of how the first three characters were targeted in reference to the original. For me it made perfect sense, which shows the the genius of Kevin Williams' script.

With New Nightmare, Scream and Scream 2: Wes Craven completed a neat hat trick. Although in my eyes, Scream 3 was very much a letdown.

This third installment of the hugely popular Scream trilogy doesn't have the moxie and smarts of its two predecessors, but it's still a great thrill ride. Scripted by Ehren Kruger (from an outline by Scream writer Kevin Williamson), Scream 3 takes the three surviving characters from the first two films--beleagured heroine Sidney (Neve Campbell), ruthless TV journalist Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox Arquette), and hapless deputy Dewey (David Arquette)--and transplants them to the environs of Hollywood. Turns out a familiarly masked killer is stalking the cast of Stab 3, the third installment of the movies within the Scream movies. (Following all this? Don't worry, it's not entirely vital to the plot.) It's supposed to be a fun house of mirrors, with each character encountering the actor playing themselves and visiting reconstructed sets of the murder scenes, but it doesn't have the same snap and crackle of the first two films. Rather than parodying the teen horror genre, Scream 3 seems to be playing by the rules instead of breaking them gleefully, and its postmodern plotting is a little too fast and loose. Williamson's presence is sorely missed--it's the difference between hitting one out of the park and scoring a solid triple. Director Wes Craven, though, still brings his die-hard energy to the proceedings, from the requisite heart-pumping prologue to the go-for-broke (but somewhat predictable) ending. Kudos to Campbell, Cox, and especially Arquette for bringing spirit to characters who should be justifiably tired of being corpse magnets; Campbell is remarkably graceful considering she's saddled with plot twists involving heretofore undisclosed family baggage. And in the film's one inspired stroke of brilliance, Cox's Gale is trailed by a hilarious Parker Posey as the actress playing Gale in Stab 3, who astutely realizes that if they're caught by the killer together, it'll be the real Gale who gets it. If Scream 3 had stuck to such ingenious parody throughout, it would have been a real winner; as it is, it's an energetic shadow of itself. With Scream alums Liev Schreiber and Jamie Kennedy in brief but winning cameos. --Mark Englehart

The Ultimate Scream Collection...well, almost........2006-12-24

The movies in this box set are enticing and highly enjoyable. Plus, the bonus features on each disc are awesome. I just want to point out one thing. The fourth disc's dvd-rom material is a major let down. It operates on the PC Friendly program and I can't get it to work. The dvd-rom features do look nice, but I haven't been able to get access to them yet. This isn't just my occurrence, I've seen this posted all over the internet. This isn't enough to bring the whole collection down to four stars, though. Thus it is almost the ultimate Scream collection.

Great disc: disappointing film. .......2006-06-21

I had purchased Scream 3 as part of the Box set of Scream films. Although the actual disc presentation and extras are exceptional, to me the film let me down.

The premise is intriguing: that there are more mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding the life and death of Maureen Prescott that even her daughter, Sidney, didn't know about. But somehow the plot premise that Maureen was a B movie actress in horror films seems so out of left field it really doesn't go well with the rest of what has happened in the previous films.

There are some excellent scenes and acting in the film. The most haunting being Sidney's visit to the movie set and seeing the exact replica of her and Stu's home from Woodsboro and viewing the scene of Tatum's demise. The opening sequence is also well done, but not as good as the other two. Parker Posey does steal the film as Jennifer Jolie and Neve Campbell is always good as Sidney Prescott.

An early sequence where a member of a class that Gale Weathers is lecturing asks her if after all the terror that has occured, it was really worth going after the story. That to me would've been a starting point to a similar but different plot.

My plot would consist of this: There is a third film being done in the Stab series, but they would actually shoot in the town of Woodsboro, which has the community up in arms. The attacks by the killer would be directed at the cast, but instead of just pictures of Maureen Prescott: the killer would leave pictures of all the victims starting with Maureen or maybe Casey Becker(Drew Barrymore). There would be another reporter but their story would cover the human element of the story, interviewing family members of the victims. As the body count mounts, a secret would be revealed about the Prescott family and the real reason for all the trouble would be revealed in the final act that would take place at the house where it all started.

I think the First two films are fine book ends, but the third one sticks out like a sore thumb.

SCREAM IS A CLASSIC (SCREAM 4 ?).......2006-06-20

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME
SCREAM 3 IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE
THEN THE FIRST SCREAM
THEN SCREAM 2

IV'E BEEN HEARING ABOUT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE SCREAM 4 NOW FOR A WHILE,I THINK THEY SHOULD AND MAKE IT THE FINAL CHAPTER.IT WOULD BE COOL IF FINALLY SIDNEY SNAPPED AND SHE TURNED OUT TO BE THE KILLER,I THINK IT WOULD BE A COOL ENDING,
OR HAVE HER MOM COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE.

Description

Based on elements from the stories of Mark Twain, this feature-length ClaymationÂ(r) fantasy follows the adventures of Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, and Huck Finn as they stowaway aboard the interplanetary balloon of Mark Twain. Twain, disgusted with the Human Race, is intent upon finding Halley's Comet and crashing into it, achieving his "destiny." It's up to Tom, Becky, and Huck to convince him hat his judgment is wrong, and that he still has much to offer humanity that might make a difference. Their efforts aren't just charitable; if they fail, they will share Twain's fate. Along the way, they use a magical time portal to get a detailed overview of the Twain philosophy, observing the "historical" events that inspired his works.

will vinton is da shiiiii-.......2007-05-17

if you dig claymation or loved will's noid/cali raisins/pee-wee dinos you need this!!! really trippy with a few parts which might actually scare youngsters so parents,watch it first!

Unmatched Claymation Art, caricature done right.......2007-04-13

Aside from the plot, the film is a magnificant work in clay art.
Every aspect of it, smudged, shaped, sculpted clay... and this alone, makes this a masterpiece in my opinion. Every background, character and landscape element is clay and I sat amazed, thinking of the intensive work that goes into a feature length piece like this.. well, there simply IS nothing like this in claymation.
If you make caricatures, or need a resource to get your artistic juices flowing in sculpting miniatures, then this is simply IT.
The story is a good one also, but that has been much commented on I'm sure.. so, I keep my comments to defining it as simple excellence in art and design!

Great for the entire family!

Classic, artistic and all around stunning claymation work.......2007-04-03

I remember when I saw this as a kid and I instantly fell i in love with the artistic process of how Will Vinton created this film. Because of this film, I have always had a deep interest in the art. I recommend this, it's dark, entertaining and artistic. Stunning work.

come take me away in your flying machine ..........2007-03-25

this is a great find. i thought i was renting the legendarily horrible 1940s biopic with fredric march, but instead i got this feature-length claymation film from will ("california raisins") vinton which takes tom sawyer, becky sharp, and huck finn on a cosmic ride via airship in search of the comet which host and tour guide mark twain expects to carry him off to eternity. rather than rely on the most familiar twain stories, this film delves into work like "mysterious stranger" and "diaries of adam & eve", and it works as a great introduction to the literary output of the most accessible of americas leading 19th century writers. it is NOT a kids movie -- unless your kids are sharp and incisive and inquisitive.

wonderful.......2007-03-09

I had this in VHS and it finally wore out. It's a wonderful claymation movie with Mark Twains literature woven throughout and many of his humorous quotes. I show it to my art students each year when we celebrate Mark Twain's birthday (our schools name sake). They love it and so do I! I recommend it for both kids and adults.

[insert "Ice Cream" punned title].......2007-06-19

Ok, to begin with... this is probably the most wholeheartedly fun episode of them all for season 2! Granted, if you ge this expecting horror and terror, its not there (well... some parts are creepy), but really.. this is just good ole fashioned entertaining. I mean, come on... William Forsythe plays a semi retarded clown ghost out for revenge! Thats a selling point right there!

I'm not going to go into the plot very much, but this episode is VERY cheesy - but also VERY entertaining. I liked it, and I recommended it to anyone who enjoys the MOH series.

Overall, its just a good way to spend 55 mins. Its hilarious, fun, creepy, and amusing. Its a good time throughout ... without the calories.

Not worth screaming about.......2007-06-18

This is one of the episodes from season 2 of "Masters of Horror." Years ago a bunch of kids played a prank on a good-natured but mentally-challenged ice cream truck driver, which resulted in his accidental death. Now the kids are grown up, and the driver is back for revenge with his killer ice cream.

All I can say is, stock, stock, stock. I know killer clowns long fell into the campy horror category, but nothing about this show seems inspired or original. The most obvious rip-off would be Stephen King's "It," but name anything with mind-controlled children, childhood friends confronting evil, or spirits back for revenge, and you'll find something much more compelling than this. Some of the effects are decent, such as when a victim dies in a tub, but there are no scares and there's little tension. The acting is about average.

Maybe I'm missing the point. Not all Masters of Horror stories are meant to be scary, and some are deliberately campy (season 1's Deer Woman). But this one just seems to subscribe to the worst of the genre without offering any cleverness. Avoid.

When Randy the video geek rattles off the rules of surviving a horror movie in Wes Craven's Scream, he speaks for a generation of filmgoers who are all too aware of slasher movie clichés. Playfully scripted by Kevin Williamson with a self-aware wink and more than a few nods to its grandfathers (from Psycho to Halloween to the Friday the 13th dynasty), Scream skewers teen horror conventions with loving reverence while re-creating them in a modern, movie-savvy context. And so goes the series, which continues the satirical spoofing by tackling (what else?) sequels while sustaining its own self-contained mythology. Catty reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) turns grisly murders into lurid bestsellers, a cult of killer wannabes continues to hunt spunky psycho-survivor Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) for their 15 minutes of fame, and a cheesy movie series (Stab) develops within the movie series.

Scream remains the high point of the series--a fresh take on a genre long since collapsed into routine, but Scream 2 spoofs itself with witty humor ("Why would anyone want to do that? Sequels suck!" opines college film student Randy), and delights with more elaborate set pieces and all-new rules for surviving a horror movie sequel. The endangered veterans of the original film reunite one last time for Scream 3, which plays out on the movie set of Stab 3. (It's a trilogy within a trilogy!) With Williamson gone, replacement screenwriter Ehran Kruger tries to mine the formula one more time. It's a little tired by now, and pale imitations (Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer) have further drained the zeitgeist, but the film bubbles with bright humor, and director Craven is stylistically at the top of his game. As a trilogy, it remains both the most consistently entertaining and self-aware horror series ever made. --Sean Axmaker

Taking full advantage of the DVD format, this installment of the Roller Coaster Thrills series offers viewers a choice of two camera angles for each of the 20 rides captured on this disc. Anticipate the fear of that initial heart-stopping plunge with a first-person perspective, or face backward and watch the reactions of the riders--either way, it's a great ride. The virtual tour across U.S. theme parks includes old-fashioned woodies, dual-track looping coasters, and colossal steel mega-coasters with 300-foot drops. Many of the featured coasters were built in 1999 and show off the latest advances in roller coaster engineering; in fact, one launched coaster has apparently garnered interest from NASA engineers for the speed of its propulsion (0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds). The disc is also packed with special features: amusement park histories, interviews with roller coaster designers, behind-the-scenes insights from director Ned Rodgers and director of photography Dave Cutler, plus Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound, and bonus footage of the first combination roller coaster and water ride. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

Description

This state-of-the-art DVD takes you to twenty of the most spine tingling, gut wrenching, jaw dropping roller coasters in America. Only the incredible quality of DVD, with multiple camera angles, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and a fantastic custom rock and roll soundtrack truly puts you right in the middle of the action.

Settle into your favorite easy chair - the one with the shoulder harness - pick up your remote control, and get ready for the ultimate DVD experience!

Really Thrilling.......2006-07-28

This is a great dvd from beginning to end. My 16 year old special needs daughter watches it over and over again. I usually get tired of watching the same dvd over and over but this one is an exception. I give this dvd 2 thumbs up.

Buck from Downunda.......2006-06-01

Only one star, because it's not possible to give a 1/2 star.
This was a great disappointment to me. Whatever possessed the producers to release this DVD as it is, is beyond me.

Yes it goes into detail about:
Where the rides are.
The ride: length; height; speed; designers etc. but fails to deliver what I expected, which was a 1st person perspective.

What you get, at a conservative ratio estimate is:
5% 1st person view (your view as the rider)
40% 2nd person view (your face as you are on the ride)
55% 3rd person view (the ride viewed from all different angles)

If the producers of this DVD are trying to promote the rides AND this DVD, then I think they need to give you the three options above for the whole ride i.e. 100% of all 3 views from a selectable menu, as per...
1st person view would let you know exactly what to expect on the ride. It would also give those unfortunate enough not to be able to actually get on these rides a chance to "ride the rollercoaster" at home.
2nd person view would give you the impression that there is a hold-up in progress when everyone puts their arms in the air...seriously though it would let you see the expressions on the faces of the people on the ride like the "horror look" as they face that first drop. It could also give you a "rear view" look of the ride as well.
3rd person view would give you an overall appreciation of the ride viewed from all different angles and the construction that went into it.

Giving you the option of 3 different viewing angles would make this a far better product and a worthy addition to any DVD collection.....something for the producers of this type of product to think about.

Pretty good - very exciting :-().......2006-03-27

I haven't seen many roller coaster dvds, but I can imagine this rates high above some others. It goes into a fair bit of detail about the particular coaster you are seeing on the screen. It will tell you the designers, the duration, the speed and the highest heights of it. They have some pretty scary rides let me tell you, but they look like so much fun.
The reason I dropped a star for the review is for the 'silly screaming' of all the girls. It's annoying after awhile. The second reason I dropped a star, is because it's quite annoying when they show you what it's like to be on the coaster via set cameras (so you get a really good feel about what fun it would be) and the next thing you know, they are showing it at another angle. I like coaster films where the camera is on the coaster and you watch it like you are riding the ride. I don't like tidbits of such angles only to have them pan away to the external shot so you lose that great feel. Despite this slight annoyance, if you are a fan of coasters like I am; you'll really apreciate this high quality production.

AMERICAS GREATEST ROLLER COASTER THRILLS.......2006-02-24

This has to be the best roller coaster movie that I have ever seen!! When I first got it in the mail I was so extited about this and When I watched it I was amazed. It blew my expectations away and I was so thrilled. I probably will sound obsessed with coasters, that is true I love coasters so much and this movie really shows some of the best in america and My personal favorite is the HULK which is the first coaster you will see on this movie and The music they pley really matches what you are seeing or if you were on the ride what you would probably feel I love this movie this is a must have for people that love and really like coasters there are many on this movie that this coming summer of 2006 I will be riding becuase of this movie

A speacial thanks to all the parks and designers of these rides and a very big thanks to the makers/producers/narrarator you all did a great job with this movie and the acers (america coaster enthusiusts) Thanks this is the best movie Ever I watch it atleast 1 time a day I have gone through over 2 disks of this already because I wore them out they finnaly went bad afeter the 1000th time I watched them so I am probably going to get like 5 or 6 more thanks SIncerely a Customer OF AMAZON.com and the people who made this PS. this is a great movie for kids to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) have a great day and thanks for reading this

Odd ending to a great film.......2007-03-23

One of the most odd type of endings to a vampire. However, this film, like "Blacula", is right up there as well. If you get "Blacula", get this movie along with it. Marshall plays a great vampire and Pam Grier plays a very good part in it as well..highly recommended !

Blacula II.......2007-01-04

The sequel to "Blacula" was as good as I expected and then some. If you liked the orginal film I'm sure you'll like this one as well. William Marshall's portrayal of the ultra sophisticated, articulate, cultured "Playa/Pimp/Vampire" was without peer. Pam Grier was a vision of loveliness as were most of the actors in the technicolor blaxplotation gem. A visual delight. A young Lynn Moody was stunning in her role as the tough sixties "Soul-Sistah" with an attitude. Don Mitchell got a chance to show that he could be far more animated than he was on Ironsides and was almost believable in his portrayal of the leading man type. Far more funny than in any way scary so you ladies should enjoy it as well. Get with your man by the fireside and enjoy this jaunt into Black-Horror- Comedy. ****Cult-Classic****

Rather than offering a pedestrian rehash of the whole vampirism story of the original, the sequel throws another powerful force, that of voodoo, into the mix and gives the film a whole new direction. William Marshall is just as good as before in the title role, and he meets up with a worthy possible antagonist in Pam Grier, who plays the gifted voodoo priestess he seeks out for help. Blacula, resurrected in his undead state with no further possibility of reclaiming the modern incarnation of his beloved bride, now seeks to break the curse that has made him a bloodthirsty, yet exceedingly cool, pariah on society. That doesn't mean he's not going to keep killing people and turning them into vampires in the meantime, however, so expect more jugular action as this film winds its way to a conclusion.

If you've seen the first film, you know Blacula just didn't wake up and return to his vampire ways. It had to take something extraordinary to put that bag of bones back together - something like, say, a voodoo ritual. The local voodoo cult just so happens to be divided after the leader dies without naming a successor. The dead high priestess' son Willis (Richard Lawson) claims the top position, but everyone else defers to Lisa (Pam Grier). Willis wants revenge, and he finds what he thinks is the perfect instrument in the form of the resurrected Blacula. Of course, nobody tells Blacula what to do, and Willis is immediately made the first of the vampire's new minions (and he is far from happy when he learns he can no longer admire his good looks and unique fashion sense in the mirror). A number of vampiric murders ensue, drawing the critical eye of the local police, but Blacula sets his sights on Lisa once he realizes that her voodoo gifts may hold the power to free him of his horrible curse. Her boyfriend Justin (Don Mitchell), a former cop, is the first to put all the clues together, and all parties collide in the film's concluding scenes. Will Blacula be freed of his dreadful curse?

Scream, Blacula, Scream lacks some of the humor of the first film, and it doesn't really try as hard to scare the audience, either. Even still, I enjoyed this film as much as I did the original. It's really an impressive sequel, coming only a year after Blacula singlehandedly brought the blaxploitation horror subgenre to life. Pam Grier fans will be disappointed if they expect to see the bad action star of
