How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Widescreen Edition)

ASIN: B00003CY6M
Release Date: 2002-04-09

Amazon.com

The irresistible casting of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale highlights this predictable romantic comedy, which combines the romantic yearning of An Affair to Remember and the New York charm of You've Got Mail. It all begins "a few years ago," when New Yorker Jonathan (Cusack) meets Brit beauty Sara (Beckinsale). They share a few perfect hours together before parting ways, leaving future encounters to her quirky obsession with fate. "A few years later," they're about to marry their respective fiancés (reluctantly, of course), and urgently hoping for destiny to bring them back together. Under the casual direction of Peter Chelsom (barely recovering from Town & Country), this starry-eyed romance offers no surprises, but it has a comforting familiarity, made warmer by the easy chemistry of the leads, with obligatory best-friend support by Molly Shannon and long-time Cusack pal Jeremy Piven. It's hokey, but die-hard romantics are sure to be forgiving. --Jeff Shannon

The Casting of John Cusack(Jonathan) and Kate Beckinsale(Sara) is Perfect!!

A Wonderful Romantic Comedy between Two New Yorkers in New York City who spend a couple of Magical Hours together. To Test Fate, Sara writes her Phone number on a (Used Book Title: Love in the Time of Cholera), Which Sara sells the next day at a Used Book Store.

Jonathan writes his Phone Number on the backside of a Five Dollar Bill in a Pink Marker Color!! Then, Sara uses the currency to purchase a Candy from a street vendor that Night allowing Fate to determine if they are meant to be Together!!

They are suppported by a Wonderful Cast. You will see many familiar faces once you watch the Movie.

The Movie gives HOPE to Single people seeking the "ONE". Serendipity also addresses Couples that need to lite their Fires Again!!!

The Movie implies that "By Throwing Caution to the Wind, You are allowing Fate to Decide your path in Life." This practice of Understanding will make you more aware that "Once Doors Closed Windows will Open."

This Movie enforces my thoughts of "Forget the Past and Future, Live the Present Moment!! You can only enjoy this Second of Time!!

Remember that their are Windows and Clues all around us but one must look and believe!!!

Enjoy the Movie and Relax!!!

john cusack, what a sweetheart! always lovable & funny..........2007-03-21

i saw this movie for the first time this past christmas and i just loved it!
very sweet, funny, loving movie...
if you are the type of person who loves john cusack or just love a light-hearted, romantic, comedy, this is a great one to own.
now, i found this movie extra funny because i could relate to "sarah", i remember "once upon a time" i believed in "the signs" or i was always "waiting for the signs" and that use to drive my friends crazy!
BECAUSE they believed in taking chances and going with the flow of life vs. analyzing it.
so, i totally enjoyed this movie, it brought me back to the wonderful memories i have...

ASIN: B00005JM0B
Release Date: 2004-06-01

Amazon.com

With a reported budget of $172 million, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines starts in high gear and never slows down. The apocalyptic "Judgment Day" of T2 was never prevented, only postponed: John Connor (Nick Stahl, replacing T2's Edward Furlong), now 22 and disconnected from society, is being pursued yet again, this time by the advanced T-X, a sleek "Terminatrix" (coldly expressionless Kristanna Loken) programmed to stop Connor from becoming the savior of humankind. Originally programmed as an assassin, a disadvantaged T-101 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger, bidding fond farewell to his signature role) arrives from the future to join Connor and his old acquaintance Kate (Claire Danes) in thwarting the T-X's relentless pursuit. The plot presents a logical fulfillment of T2 prophesy, disposing of Connor's mother (Linda Hamilton is sorely missed) while computer-driven machines assume control, launching a nuclear nightmare that Connor must survive. With Breakdown and U-571 serving as worthy rehearsals for this cautionary epic of mass destruction, director Jonathan Mostow wisely avoids any stylistic connection to James Cameron's Terminator classics; instead he's crafted a fun, exciting popcorn thriller, humorous and yet still effectively nihilistic, and comparable to Jurassic Park III in returning the Terminator franchise to its potent B-movie roots. --Jeff Shannon

Description

A decade has passed since John Connor (NICK STAHL) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 25, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no cell phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet - the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. Until?out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (KRISTANNA LOKEN), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. Now Connor's only hope for survival is the Terminator (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER), his mysterious former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day?or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization as we know it.

Second DVD reveals the real "stars" of the film.......2007-06-17

Though the casting is perfect (Arnold again in his trademark role, Kristanna Loken as the sexy and equally as destructive "female" cyborg, and Nick Stahl appropriately looking like the spawn of Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn) and the direction and pacing is tight and relentless, the DVD provides insight into the technical artists that are responsible for the fantastic effects of the movie, along with the preceding films in the franchise.

The second DVD in the compilation profiles Stan Winston, visual effects director, and his talented staff as they explain the many "tricks" of the trade in the making of this movie.

Though it might be a bit disconcerting to discover the process behind "movie magic," just revelations are informative to those that are really into the technical aspects of filmmaking.

Much has changed in the almost twenty years since the first film was made and this sequel; and the filmmakers are anxious to explain the "how's" and "why's" of said change.

Good movie, looks amazing in HD.......2007-06-14

The video quality is nothing short of spectacular.

Tame third instalment.......2007-05-08

Passable only extension to the terminator franchise, this serves only to set the stage for more potential films. As a stand alone product it's pretty futile, Sarah has died, John is still living on the fringes whining a lot, a new improved terminator wants him dead and Arnold wants to keep him alive. Much of this repeats stuff you've already seen in T1 & T2, but tamer as they clearly want to keep the rating as low as possible. Scenes that went over well in the first two get recycled almost unchanged in three, it's depressingly derivative.
Linda Hamilton wisely bailed, Arnold needs so much make up to combat the ravages of time he looks rubberised, the new caste members aren't really good enough to take up the load and the jokes are so laboured they creak. It's entertaining enough, but you really wonder why they bothered.

Good Quality - Not the Best of the Trilogy.......2007-05-07

The HD DVD comes with excellent picture quality. The sound is amazing.
But Terminator 1 was definately the best one of the trilogy.
Anyway if you like it, this HD-DVD is a must in the home collection.

T1 and T2 in a blender.......2007-04-20

As with the years that passed between the first and second films, the speculation as to wether or not a third film was going to happen at all was very high. We all heard the conflicting statements of both Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron. Finally Cameron said he would do it if 20th Century Fox would release it. Obviously that didn't happen and Arnold changed his mind after saying No.

The story of T3 is mediocre to average at best and I'll tell you why. To begin with, a lot of necessary exposition is missing. The writers essentially left out a major plot point with the former Cyberdyne Systems and Miles Dyson. Having a situation where Dyson designs Skynet's hardware and Brewster designs the software would have tied T3 a lot more strongly to the franchise. Another thing is what happens to Sarah Connor. This character has basically been the pennacle of the Terminator mythos. If the reigns have to pass from Sarah to John that's fine. But it would have worked better that we see her killed trying to escape after Skynet comes online.

Lastly the concept of The Terminatrix. Now just to be clear, I don't mind a woman being a Terminator. What I do have a problem with is the writers splitting hairs trying to differentiate the T-X from the T-1000. Now we could all see the difference between Arnold and the T-1000. But if the best they can do is showing the T-X endo during a copy, then that won't cut it. There are ways to come up with new concepts on something established. Maybe that's where Cameron could have worked some magic.

The only two things that worked for me were Arnold's description of what will happen in the future in terms of the war, and the ending surprised me though. It set up the fourth film pretty well. The missing elements Cameron's nightmarish vision and storytelling smoothness are what crippled this film. Not bad, but could have been better.

Bob Rueland (David Duchovny) and Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver) have very little in common. Granted, they both live in Chicago and they're both a bit lovelorn, but that's about it. Still, fate has something in mind for these two somewhat-depressed souls (a construction worker and budding artist, respectively), who've both recently had brushes with death--he's a recent widower, she's just recovered from a heart transplant--and are a little more serious than their friends and relatives. After a series of misbegotten blind dates and almost-meetings, though, these two finally get together, and find that they fit seamlessly with each other. Despite their differences, they have a lot in common--in fact, quite a lot. It seems that the heart that now beats inside Grace's chest once belonged to Bob's wife (Joely Richardson), who died in a car crash. Coincidence? We think not.

A gentle, pleasing romantic comedy, Return to Me marks the directorial debut of Bonnie Hunt, an acclaimed actress known most famously for her role as Renee Zellweger's sister in Jerry Maguire. A shining, happy bright spot in whatever role she's in, Hunt has also invested the film with her trademark brand of humor: dry but sincere, sarcastic but not caustic, and with a deep current of humanity and romance. In the midst of all the permutations that fate surrounds them with, Driver and Duchovny make a pleasantly low-key couple; the triumph of the film is that despite all the contrived angst, the romance is never overly saccharine. They provide a quiet center in a film that has a fair amount of chaos in it, particularly due to Driver's extended family of Irish and Italian relatives (which occasionally tips the film into cutesy territory) and most hilariously to Driver's best friend, played by director Hunt . As a harried mother with innumerable kids and a likable oaf of a husband (James Belushi), Hunt again steals scenes effortlessly; Belushi is a comic revelation, better than he's been in years. You'll have the pleasant memories of both of these couples--one falling in love, one together for years--with you a long while after seeing this film. --Mark Englehart

Description

Who knew that when he ordered the special, he d get the dish of his life? David Duchovny ('the X-Files ) and Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) ignite sparks in this warm-hearted winner (JeffCraig, 'sixty Second Preview ) about a widower and a waitress who meet and fall in love. Featuring an incredible all-star cast, this hilarious romantic comedy delivers a lot of laughs, tears and joysthat will make your spirits soar. It took a lot of cajoling to get Bob (Duchovny), a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly not with his date but with the sharp-witted waitress, Grace (Driver). With unsolicitedhelp from Grace's matchmaking grandfather (Carroll O Connor), Bob asks her out. And as their relationship blossoms, everything seems to be going great, until an unbelievable truth is revealed one that could easily break both of their hearts for good.

I thought this movie was a delight even though it was one of those "that'll never happen" movies. The whole family can watch and enjoy it, so it was worth every penny. I plan to share it with friends.

Nice couple-in-love or family flick.......2007-05-19

Enjoyable. Bought only because girlfriend likes to re-watch favorite movies regularly (and VHS copy finally broke). Otherwise, would have rented and been fine.

Very romantic... Interestingly modern moral dilemma.......2007-05-12

I admit it I am a fan of both (actually several) stars of this movie. After Minnie Driver's new show on FX the Riches, reminded me how much I liked her, I got to remembering this film, then coincidentally it was showing on broadcast TV the other day when I came home from work and my wife was watching it and told me to order it, so I did, and we watched it with our youngest who also enjoyed it very much.

But this is a very sweet and touching tale with an interesting twist that is strong on a not too subtle metaphor.
Watch this with your sweetheart for a romantic night at home.

CUTE AND TYPICAL OF SOME FAMILIES.......2007-05-02

THIS IS A CUTE MOVIE ,THOUGH SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IS NOT GOOD FOR CHILDREN,ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

Very good romantic comedy.......2007-02-18

From an absurd plot - Chicago architect Duchovny falls in love with the much younger woman who (unknown to him) has received the transplanted heart of his dead wife - first time director Bonnie Hunt (who also has a good role in the movie) has crafted a very good romantic comedy. Minnie Driver, in particular, as the virginal Grace (this is a very catholic movie) has never been better as the object of Duchovny's chaste affection. The main question of the movie is how Duchovny will react when he learns about Grace's history - and how that will affect their relationship. The film is also a paean to a particular milieu - working class ethnic America, particularly the Italian, Polish and Irish groups that intersect in Chicago - that is fast disappearing as a result of assimilation.

While director Norman Jewison's Moonstruck is a romantic cornerstone, this 1994 film is often overlooked. It's a sweet valentine about a young woman, aptly named Faith (Marisa Tomei, never cuter), who chases an unknown man to Europe because the name "Damon Bradley" was once spelled on an Ouija board as her true love. With her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt, whose own marriage seems to be falling apart), she travels the streets of Rome looking for Damon Bradley.

And lo and behold, she literally runs into a man claiming to be Damon. Is this meant to be? Faith certainly thinks so. Robert Downey Jr. (also never cuter) plays Damon in a role that showcases his charms. He shows his quick wit in handing Faith's advances and his absolute devotion to her when the winds change. Despite the cuteness factor, this is a movie to fall in love with. Jewison and Sven Nykvist (Ingmar Bergman's cameraman) present a sun-kissed Italy so beautiful, you might be tempted to hop a plane immediately after viewing the movie. --Doug Thomas

I have seen this movie before I purchased it, but somehow it didn't have the same effect on me as it did when I was younger. It's still a sweet movie, although it really isn't interesting to me until she gets to Europe. The end is very romantic and sweet.

A Man Dares to Review This Movie.......2006-11-06

I don't want to parrot what the editorial review says, but he pretty much nails it right on. "Only You" is something of an enigma--you can never find it in stores, rarely even in a rental shop. My sisters and I loved this movie in our teens--Sarah holds the record for "Most Times Watched." She's not pathetic, it's just that enjoyable. Like "the cop and the waitress" or "While You Were Sleeping" it's one of the genre that belongs in your rotation.

Here's what the editor didn't tell you:
Bonnie Hunt and Marisa Tomei are beautiful. I still have a crush on Marisa Tomei...well, at least enough to chase down whatever movies she's been in since I saw this one. Also, it's quotable. Not quite as good as "The Princess Bride" but a lot of fun to rehash! ("It'ly! My wife's in It'ly!")

Yes, the scenery. Yes, Robert Downey Jr. is at the top of his game. And I've gotta say that with all the scandalous behavior in the movie world today, I feel so good about the treatment of marriage in this movie. (I'll spoil this much of it for you.) This movie makes 3 true statements: Both finding the right person and marriage itself are nearly impossible quests, but both are well worth working out. And you can tell a lot about a woman by the shoes she wears.

I'm buying the widescreen version as soon as I am done with this review. You should too.

Not many Westerns can claim to be original. Seven Men from Now can. Its making, for the B-picture arm of John Wayne's Batjac company, was a modest enterprise. The screenwriter, Burt Kennedy, was just starting out; the director, Budd Boetticher, was a matador-turned-filmmaker with only one film of distinction (The Bullfighter and the Lady) in a journeyman career; the star, Randolph Scott, was regarded as "over the hill." Yet the three men's talents blended uncannily, producing not just a terrific Western but a cinema masterpiece--an ironical, beautifully spare bit of storytelling that became the ideal showcase for Scott's sandy reticence.

You don't want anybody synopsizing the story for you; there's little of it, really, yet how it's told makes it complex and compelling. We know, from a memorable first scene, that Scott is hunting down seven men who did something terrible. He will be thrown together with several other characters, including Lee Marvin as an affable but deadly rascal with whom he shares some history. Everybody has private reasons to be traveling through Apache country. Savor every syllable of the laconic dialogue, what people say and what they don't quite say--what they think they understand about one another's motives, except that that understanding keeps getting rearranged.

Seven Men from Now went missing after Wayne's death in 1979 threw the Batjac library into limbo. (Its success had inspired Scott, Boetticher, and Kennedy to collaborate on three other remarkable Westerns--The Tall T (1957), Ride Lonesome (1959), and Comanche Station (1960)--which, because they weren't made for Batjac, we've had little trouble seeing over the years.) The movie became legendary, a Holy Grail for film buffs. Now, with a beautiful restoration on DVD, it gets to be a movie again. A great one. --Richard T. Jameson

Customer Reviews:

"I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan. Me too, I love that Guy.".......2007-06-16

A stolid hero in a tight, B Western about revenge. But Lee Marvin as the cool second lead is completely mesmerizing. What he's doing is so dynamic, that you have to give credit to the star and director for letting him steal the movie. He's as good here as he ever was in his star roles.

Best B Western Ever!.......2007-05-06

This film contains everything that makes B Westerns great - a simple story, lots of atmosphere, great actors, beautiful cinematography, and a good dose of morality and the Code of the Old West (plus a great musical score as well!). This may be the best B Western ever made. The tale is simple, an ex-sheriff (played by Randolph Scott) is out to find the robbers of a Wells-Fargo office who killed his wife. Scott falls in with a pair of tenderfoot settlers moving west, which is when the fun really begins. Other reviewers have written more detailed plot summaries and background on the actors, director, etc. that I won't replicate here. Suffice it to say that virtually all of the other review are enthusiastic about this film, and I agree with these enthusiastic reviews. There is nothing particularly profound about this film, it is simply easy and entertaining to watch. If you've never seen the film, you can pretty much guess how it is going to end! The Old West probably wan't really like this, but maybe it should have been.

When Do we Get To See The Other Scott/Boetticher Classics?.......2007-04-20

Yes, this is a great film. Great Scott, great Boetticher, great Kennedy, great Marvin. But where are the other Ranown masterpieces? How long do we have to wait for THE TALL T, RIDE LONESOME and COMANCHE STATION? I'm beginning to doubt we will ever see them on DVD in Technicolour and Cinemascope. My VHS tapes are all but worn out. Does anyone out there know what Columbia is up to? Are these wonderful films tied up in some legal wrangle? Plenty of inferior Scott oaters are being pushed out on DVD, why not the best work of his career? I'm tired of waiting, aren't you?

Stride is tormented by the fact that his own failure to keep his job was the cause of his wife's working in the express office and thus he is partly responsible for her death. Stride encounters a married couple heading west for California and helps them. Along the way they are joined by two others, Masters and Clete, who know that Stride is after the express-office robbers. They plan to let Stride lead them to the bandits, then make away with the loot themselves. But they aren't the only ones carrying a secret ... The first and one of the best of the Randolph Scott / Budd Boetticher / Burt Kennedy collaborations --- Often considered to be best of the best of Randolph Scott's westerns, his role was originally slated for John Wayne --- one of my all-time favourite western! - it grabs you by right from the start, then doesn't let go, not even for a moment, seventy-eight minutes later: you're exhausted!

Randy took his job and his responsibility to his audience very seriously ,,, would not settle for anything less than his best ... same was true in his personal life.

(1943) and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (1938); but he was especially famous for his numerous Westerns including "Virginia City" (1940) with Errol Flynn and Humphrey Bogart, "Western Union" (1941) with Robert Young and "Ride the High Country" (1962) with Joel McCrea (a coin was flipped to see whether Scott or McCrea would receive top billing, and Scott won despite having a slightly smaller role) ... his long fistfight with John Wayne in "The Spoilers" (1942) was frequently cited by critics and the press as the most thrilling ever filmed; they were fighting over Marlene Dietrich ... another smash hit film together that same year called "Pittsburgh" (1942) once again with Dietrich, Scott and Wayne --- Daniel Webster defines "Legend", as being a notable person, or the stories told about that person exploits --- well by the time Randolph Scott made his best films he had long established himself as a legend in the film industry --- they say practice makes perfect, if that is true by 1958 at 60 years of age he was the master with these oaters from the 50s ... "The Cariboo Trail" (1950), "The Nevadan" (1950), "Colt .45" (1950), "Santa Fe" (1951), "Sugarfoot" (1951), "Fort Worth" (1951), "Man in the Saddle" (1951), "Carson City" (1952), "The Man Behind the Gun" (1952), "Hangman's Knot" (1952), "Thunder over the Plains" (1953), "The Stranger Wore a Gun" (1953), "Ten Wanted Men" (1954), "Riding Shotgun" (1954), "The Bounty Hunter" (1954), "Rage at Dawn" (1955), "Tall Man Riding" (1955), "A Lawless Street" (1955), "Seven Men from Now" (1956), "Seventh Cavalry" (1956), "Decision at Sundown: (1957), "Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend" (1957), "The Tall T" (1957), "Buchanan Rides Alone" (1958), "Ride Lonesome" (1959), "Westbound" (1959), "Comanche Station" (1960) --- Scott's age seemed to matter little, they only came to see another Randolph Scott film and always got their money's worth --- Scott's films were good and getting better becoming classics --- so if you ever wonder "What Ever Happened To Randolph Scott", just rent or purchase one of his films and you'll see he's never left us.

Possibly Budd Boetticher's finest movie.......2007-03-24

This is a superb movie - it takes the B Western format and gives it high production values and an intelligent adult theme.

Picture quality is excellent, presented in its correct aspect ratio (1.85:1) - enhanced for widescreen TVs.

Randolph Scott plays a former sheriff who blames himself for the death of his wife. He had been too proud to accept a demotion to deputy sheriff, and therefore hadn't been there to protect his wife when she was killed by thugs robbing the town's bank. He is now on a mission to kill the men responsible, while - at the same time - refusing to forgive himself.

Add a married woman, trying hard to deny the desire she feels for Scott. Add her husband, driven by his own fears to side with the killers. And you've got an explosive mix of emotions.

But that's not all. There's also Lee Marvin in a superb performance as a badman willing, for the moment, to accompany Scott on his cold search for revenge. But only until the time is right for the final showdown.

This is a film you must see.

Francis Ford Coppola's passable 1986 comedy stars Kathleen Turner as an unhappy, middle-aged woman who goes back in time to her high school years and meets her future husband (Nicolas Cage) all over again. A lightweight entry from Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), the film has some clever, backward-looking jokes (Turner's character laughs incredulously when someone turns up with a brand-new Edsel); and the lead actress does bring intelligence and searching emotions to her role. Cage (Coppola's nephew), who specialized in these dumb-guy roles back then (see Raising Arizona), is in sharp, raw form. Worth a visit, but don't expect to be bowled over this time by the legendary director. The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, theatrical trailer, optional Spanish soundtrack and optional Spanish and French subtitles. --Tom Keogh

A must see movie......why....caused its good !.......2007-06-06

They dont make movies like this anymore, movies that entertain, makes you
laugh, great characters, and like any good movies, it becomes a multiple
viewing feature. I view this film at least once a year, and its always
enjoyable.
Nicholas Cage portrays a 50's type teenager and has this squeeky voice, and Kathleen Turner does a great job as the actress that is sent to the past to review events related to her life.
I wont tell you any details, but i do recomment this movie a lot.

How odd ..........2007-05-18

This was a truly strange movie, from multiple perspectives. Firstly that Francis Ford Coppola would choose something like a pseudo romantic comedy to add to his resume. Secondly that Nicholas Cage would star as the male lead, when he was known before as being the dingbat bumbling fool and after as the brooding dark eccentric. And third, the whole premise of the movie was just plain odd.

Kathleen Turner plays Peggy Sue, a divorced, middle aged and unhappy woman who goes to her high school reunion despite all her misgivings. At the reunion she faints, then wakes up back in time. She is once again in high school. She is given a chance to do it all over again.

The foundation of this movie was not odd, as it's been the theme of many sci fi and fantasy films past and present. There are a few funny moments with the typical fish out of water / anachronism humor (I also remembered going to my high school reunion and remarking that a lot of things they taught were so useless - You didn't take Honors English last year so you have to stay in the Special Ed English class! - You can't have study hall! Gym class is priority! - Take the science elective or you won't get into college!, etc.). She starts off the movie saying that had she known then what she knows now, she would have done things much differently. We all think that at one point or another. And she does do some things differently, like going for the mysterious poet she always admired from afar. But, she doesn't do things differently in the end. She is approached by the school nerd who would grow up to be a wealthy and successful man, and when he proposes that she change her destiny and marry him, she refuses. Peggy Sue said she wanted to go back to the present because she missed her kids. Missed her kids?! If she stayed in this time or went with someone else her kids wouldn't exist! She ends up with her husband, perhaps because of this reason, and essentially continues back down the same path.

That was a disappointment, a major disappointment. She goes back in time and doesn't affect the future in a positive way, except to afirm to herself that she is content being miserable in the present. And how about that weird scene with her grandparents and trying to send her back in time at the Shriners' convention? Too stupid for words. The best part of this movie was Nicholas Cage, in that it would spring board him into other roles and a successful movie career. Otherwise don't waste your time.

Great Movie.......2007-05-12

We wore out our VHS copy so we ordered in DVD. Great movie, we watch it every few months. If you've never seen it, rent it, then you'll buy it.

Passable? No, it's a masterpiece. .......2007-03-20

First, I can't believe how shallow, misinformed, obtuse and insensitive Tom Keogh's editorial review is.

"Peggy Sue Got Married" is a wonderful, funny, heartfelt and somewhat haunting story about how the ghosts of high school affect us throughout our lives.

Kathleen Turner's performance, as a woman who time-travels back to her last year of high school, is nothing short of a brilliant. It's a physical marvel - the way Turner transforms, through her subtle facial gestures and mannerisms, back into the body of a teenager. Faced with the awesome possibility of being able to relive high school, knowing what she knows now, Peggy Sue behaves like anyone would given the chance. What would you say to your grandmother, now dead? What about the boy you're going to marry, and who you later divorce?

The movie is very touching, and also very funny, and is definitely the last great film that Francis Ford Coppola made. Coppola was, by 1986, in a very tumultuous period in his career - wasting his time developing cinematic technology and experimental narratives that derailed his career. With "Peggy Sue Got Married," Coppola had a great story, a great actress, and he simply decided to make a great film.

"Peggy Sue Got Married" is one of the best films of mid-1980s.

Description

A decade has passed since John Connor (NICK STAHL) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 25, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no cell phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet - the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. Until, out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X (KRISTANNA LOKEN), Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine yet. Sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000, this machine is as relentless as her human guise is beautiful. Now Connor's only hope for survival is the Terminator (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER), his mysterious former assassin. Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day - or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization as we know it.

I love this anime series but giving 3 stars to make a point. The extras are in english only and the dub is really horrible.

SABER VS RIDER.......2007-06-07

AS THE MAGE WARS RAGES...SABER AND HER MASTER ARE NOT EXACTLY TEAM PLAYERS. THEY BICKER AND ARGUE AS TO THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT THE MYSTERY WITCH AT THE TEMPLE, AND AFTERWARDS SABER GOES OUT TO FIGHT HER ALONE, RUNNING INTO THE SIXTH SERVANT, ASSASSIN (FOR THOSE KEEPING TRACK THERE IS SABER, ARCHER, RIDER, LANCER, AND BERSERKER. THE ONLY ONE LEFT IS CASTER). WHILE THE TWO FIGHT IT OUT, RIDER TRIES TO USE THE CONFUSION TO KILL ASSASSIN'S MASTER, BUT RETREATS AFTER A FAILED ATTEMPT. AFTER THE FIGHT SABER AND SHIROU HAVE ANOTHER ARGUEMENT ABOUT ATTACKING THE WITCH, BUT BOTH SOON REALIZE THAT THEY ARE BOTH TRYING TO PROTECT EACH OTHER AND A MORE PERSONAL BOND STARTS TO GROW. MEANWHILE SABER AND RIN BOTH DECIDE IT IS TIME TO IMPROVE SHIROU'S COMBAT AND MAGIC ABILITIES, WHICH INCLUDE BEATING HIM SENSELESS AND MAKING HIM BREAK THINGS WHILE LEARNING CONTROL. DURING A BREAK IN THE ACTION, SHIROU RUNS INTO BERSERKER'S MASTER AND LEARNS THAT SHE REALLY IS NOT A BAD PERSON. LIKE HIM, SHE IS FORCED INTO THE GRAIL WARS AS A MASTER THROUGH A TWIST OF FATE.

BUT THINGS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE WHEN RIDER'S MASTER ACTIVATES A BARRIER TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF ALL HIS CLASSMATES TO STRENGTHEN HIS SERVANT, LEADING TO AN ALL OUT BATTLE BETWEEN ONCE-FRIENDS AND SERVANTS. FORCING RIDER TO RETREAT WAS A PARTIAL VICTORY SINCE SHE HAS A LATENT ABILITY THAT ALLOWS HER TO ESCAPE BATTLE AND FORCES A FINAL CONFRONTATION BETWEEN SABER AND RIDER. THE BEST PART IS WHEN SABER FINALLY REVEALS WHAT HER WEAPON IS AND GIVES US ALL A MAJOR CLUE AS TO WHO SHE REALLY IS (SORRY FOLKS, HER IDENTITY IS STILL NOT OUT THERE DESPITE WHAT THE BOX SAYS.)

SO FAR THE SERIES HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED WITH THE STORY AND THE ANIMATION. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT DISC.....
