Hips, buns and thighs.......2007-06-30

This is the worst DVD I've ever got, it is nothing but a waste of money. It is very easy for beginners, but if you are a beginner, why don't you get "bellydance basics and beyond" or "bellydance for romance" or anything for Neon. They contain much more and will teach you much more. That DVD is not recommended for any bellydancer student.

Workout.......2007-05-25

This is a great beginners DVD. At first you don't think you will get a work out, but let me tell ya...you do! I will definately buy another Bidasha video.

Feel the burn!.......2007-04-11

A good beginner's DVD, not necessarily to show you how to dance, but to get you in shape to do it. Beginners to moderate, requires some stamina and a good deal of flexibility. A fun alternative to your basic workout.

If you're looking for a tape to show you how to belly dance, this isn't it. You will need a yoga mat and a large pillow.

Jack Finney's classic science fiction novel has been the basis of three big-screen adaptations, beginning with the 1956 chiller Invasion of the Body Snatchers and most recently as 1994's underrated Body Snatchers. This acclaimed 1978 version from director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) is every bit as creepy as the '56 original, and it fits perfectly into the cycle of paranoid thrillers that thrived in American movies of the 1970s. Kaufman stylishly directs from an intelligent screenplay by W.D. Richter, while Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams lead a distinguished cast (including Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, and Veronica Cartwright) and must fight for survival as the population of San Francisco is systematically cloned by alien "pods" from a distant, dying planet. The atmosphere of dread and paranoia grows increasingly intense as the complexity of the alien invasion is gradually revealed, until nobody can be trusted to be who they appear. Finely tuned performances enhance the film's eerie atmosphere, highlighted by moments that will lurk in your memory long after the movie's over. MGM's DVD release includes a full-length audio commentary by Kaufman, a "pod culture" retrospective, Body Snatchers trivia, production notes, and the original theatrical trailer. --Jeff Shannon

POD clone can't match the original for sheer, icy terror........2007-06-18

Irony in this first sequel to the greatest NIGHTMARE movie ever made is ...like self-consciously hip San Francisco it's filmed-in...the project is RETURN to POD CITY USA~more like a POD itself than the reel deal.IV/BS-2 is triumph-manque of style over substance.There is battle-array of classy (show-off)camera angles and smoke-and-mirrors lighting effects.Ensemble acting is okay to good with admirable,non-ironic POD:purity of d'part.But even quirky...PET/POD SOUNDS effects-laden...music is only a clone of the BxW original's id-chord spine chilling Snatcherscore.Veronica Cartwright's character is shrilling reprise of her ALIEN lost-soul crewman shtick;not a viewer whose seen SPOCK Trek or original BODY SNATCHERS even winces in surprise that Leonard Nimoy is The Snatch Master.

Maron County--Invasion's HQ,second or third Yuppiest in USA,whose capital is SF--forte is PSYCHIATRY/PSYCHOLOGY[one out of 2&1/2 residents is a shrink]is Pod land uber alles.The City itself is King-of-Queens satrapy of male homosexuality in the US~ergo:the Podsters had a huge jump-start in their Space-AIDS attack.The remake of INVASION of the BODY SNATCHERS is not bad;it's simply not scary.(Even typical"surprise ending"is POD bogus). See the original...before Daniel Craig bring his 007 version to IV-BS 4. This 1978 clone can't match the original for icy terror.I'm betting "Pod, James Pod," can't either.(3 & 1/2 pods)

No frills release of a Philip Kaufman classic.......2007-06-01

Director Philip Kaufman cooked up this thoughtful (and thought-provoking) rendition of the original shocker from Jack Finney. Adding post-modern existentialist tones, utilizing the trippy, post-hippy psycho-babble that was rampant in San Francisco after the Summer of Love, the idea of people 'changing' suddenly takes on new resonance. The sound design, and music by avant-garde jazzist Denny Zeitlin, is superb. Note that you hear sirens and hear screams from the get-go, adding to the paranoia. Donald Sutherland gave a perfect pitch performance as the ambivalent, emotionally strapped Matthew Binnell, Brooke Adams as his unavailable love.

I took a star off of this beloved film, as the print isn't anamorphic, and the sound is only Dolby Surround 2.0. The reverb bass that I enjoyed so much in the theater (during the discovery of the body in the bath house, and the "Amazing Grace" scene) really deserves a DD 5.1 mastering. -

Good Effort.......2007-03-30

Though I will always be a huge fan of the original, I did like this remake(the first of 2 with a 3rd coming up). Though it does touch upon some of the same plot points as the original, it does change things up enough to keep it interesting. With Sutherland, Nimoy, Goldblum you certainly have a lot of interesting actors. The new ending is terrific. I found the picture transfer a little dark at times, but overall it seems to be a good print. The film and the scares hold up well after nearly 30 years. A good one to add to your science fiction collection.

The Seed is Planted... Terror Grows........2007-03-04

Every so often a movie comes along where I think, "How the heck have I not seen this before?" Invasion of the Body Snatchers falls into that category. It is, of course, not to be confused with the original 1956 film of the same name.

This version stars Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard "Spock" Nimoy. I originally saw it when I was flipping around the channels on a Sunday afternoon, and ran across the very beginning of the movie on Showtime. I missed the first 15 minutes, but it was pretty easy to pick up what was going on. Normally, I would have kept changing the channels, but the sight of Sutherland and Nimoy talking to each other caused me to halt temporarily. Or so I thought. Instead, I ended up watching the entire movie (and have rewatched it several times since then).

Before I get into how interesting the characters were, the acting quality, how they modified the story, or how it compares to the original movie, I have to stress one major thing: The camera and environmental work in this movie is phenomenal. People don't make movies like this anymore. This was 1978, so there was no CGI. Instead, unique camera angles were used and the visuals just oozed paranoia and bleakness. Shadows, repeated themes, hand-held camera shots, and unsaturated colors set the tone throughout the film.

Allow me to elaborate, without spoiling the movie plot: There's one scene near the end when Donald Sutherland is walking down a long sidewalk. The camera is set low, so you only see him from the waist up. A huge gray edifice is set before him, the sky is gray, a few birds are flying overhead, he's wearing a rumpled trench coat, and as he walks, he is passing by an endless row of barren trees. This shot was composed completely of naturally-occurring elements and without the aid of modern computers. And you know what? It works. The feeling you get while watching it is much more powerful than anything that could be computer generated these days.

Of course, this scene wouldn't seem genuine with anyone other than Donald Sutherland. He is a very versatile actor and I get the feeling that his character was custom-tailored for him. He speaks naturally, his mannerisms are perfect, and there are a couple of times where he really nails the emotion of a shot. Whether it's a look of fear, suspicion, or anger, he's 100% there. The other major actors in the film, Nimoy and Goldblum, are equally as good. Leonard Nimoy plays a glove-wearing psychologist (I keep expecting him to say something like, "My calculations show that there cannot possibly be life on Ceti Alpha Six."), while Jeff Goldblum is his usual wacky self. As expected, he fits quite nicely in paranoid Sci-Fi movies. The leading lady, Brooke Adams, was excellent as well. She provided a nice counter-balance to Sutherland's character, while she added her own brand of terrified confusion to the mix.

In my opinion, the 70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is far better than the original 50s version. While I've always been a fan of the mood-setting that black & white films can provide, I think the color 70's version has it beat, which is extremely rare for me. I almost always prefer B&W over color when it comes to moody stuff like this. Plus, the acting is on a whole other level than the original. After all, the 70s version contains multiple powerhouse actors/actresses during the prime of their careers. How can it possibly go wrong?

Finally, I should note that this version of the movie is not so much of a remake, but a reimagining. Very few aspects of the original are reused here, other than the pod people, and the tone is much more intense. While the original film is often viewed as a commentary on the dangers of communism, this one is more geared more as a warning of rampant consumerism. I think this works better today because of this difference.

If you get a chance to see this movie on TV, or rent it, you should seize the opportunity. Especially if you're a thriller or horror genre fan. You will not be disappointed.

Chilling And Moody Remake Of The 1950's Sci Fi Classic.......2007-02-02

It's not often that I find myself the champion of any of Hollywood's largely misguided attempts in recent decades to remake classic Sci Fi films from its heyday. Often you hear modern filmmakers passing off these remakes as a "tribute", to the original version (why is that needed?), the end product generally only reveals how far many of them nowadays have lost the point as to why these early films built on mood and characterisation where so unforgettable. However one exception in this trend is I believe the 1978 remake of the classic story "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Built on mood and a very distinct eerie build up to its exciting climax this updated version while lacking some of the edge that made the 1956 film of the same title such a stunning thriller, is still a most worthy successor. It benefits I believe from having been made in the late 1970's long before CGI special effects took over as the main ingredient in science fiction movie making at the expense of proper story telling and character development. What we have in this 1978 film is a tightly structured story with great atmosphere and with an overwhelming feeling of fear hovering over the preceedings at every turn. Combined with its great cast headed by Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams and Leonard Nimoy, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", really packs a punch and succeeded in keeping this viewer on the edge of his seat for the film's entire running time.

But these lovely extraterrestrial blossoms have gruesome plansfor their earthly admirers: to slowly clone their bodiesand then dispose of the originals! "A first-rate suspense thriller" (Newsday), this sci-fi adventure is a "chilling" (Leonard Maltin), "dazzling" (The New York Times) and "stunning" (Cosmopolitan) thrill ride that will send your pulse rate soaring! From a brilliant screenplay by Academy AwardÂ(r) nominee* W.D. Richter, filmmaker Philip Kaufman directs an all-star cast that includes Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Adams and Leonard Nimoy. With its mesmerizing style and awe-inspiring special effects, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is "a classic of the genre" (New York Post) a terrifying tale that "literally chills the blood" (The Hollywood Reporter)!

Invasion 2.......2007-07-09

Looking forward to the Collectors Edition, a recent review of the 1998 DVD got me to thinking about why this picture is so great! My wife says, it's not because the guys are so good looking. Why on earth cast a movie with Sutherland Senior, Goldblum and Nimoy, well, it fits in with that "New American Cinema" vibe you get from the outset. San Francisco is a physically discombobulating city and director Phil Kaufman uses this well to underline how bizarre the events transpiring on screen are. For example, when Nimoy leaves Sutherland's gorgeous apartment he has to walk a little pigeontoed to make it down the steep hill outside his house, and while he's walking on the level, the cars are parked at steep 60 or 70 degree angles between them, so it looks as though he's playing in space traffic. Elsewhere Kaufman seeks the unusual angle. There's one shot of Jeff Goldblum quietly crossing a threshold which Kaufman photographs from what looks like the position of the doorknob, an extremely low and tight angle so that his face emerges from the bottom of the screen, before a rapid rotation brings it into normal view.

All of this fits the rapidly shifting moods of the film. This time around I was struck at how much effort it takes for Brooke Adams to persuade Donald Sutherland of what's going on, and also how much times have changed. It seems in this version that if she doesn't convince Sutherland, she has absolutely no agency at all, she's incapable of response except by getting a man to see things her way. At least in the much maligned Abel Ferrara version from the 1990s, Gabrielle Anwar, even if underage, knows how to get things done without waiting for the men in her life to kick in. And I expect in the next version coming up with Nicole Kidman, that she'll give it her best college try at any rate. Brooke Adams here seems to be playing the same sort of affectless, drifting, mournful creature she already played in Terrence Malick's DAYS OF HEAVEN. Of course she's wonderful in both pictures, it's just odd here how much the critical mass has shifted so that nowadays in a horror or sci fi film, we sort of expect the women to lead the pack in terms of action.

From the San Francisco standpoint, as a native, Kaufman keeps the geography going pretty well, none of the bloopers that make something like 48 HOURS so painful (when Nolte and Murphy get out of the subway at "Castro," they emerge in -- Chinatown?) to watch. Of course it seems a little overheated that when Brooke Adams leaves her job every day, she goes home to one of those quaint zillion-dollar Victorian "painted ladies" on Alamo Square--one of the most photographed houses of all time. One does giggle a bit at that, but hey, somebody lives in them, no? Why not a movie character?

Sci-Fi at it's best...!!.......2007-07-07

I was head of security for Bethlehem Steel Shipyard in San Francisco where a lot of this movie was filmed. Sets were built in one of our vacant warehouses. I was fortunate to get a "behind the scenes" look at the filming and the making of some of the special effects. While I like the original "Body Snatchers", this is really one of the best sci-fi movies of all time....good cast, locations, special effects, and script. Don't miss this one.

A Masterpiece.......2007-07-04

Jack Finney is one of the greatest Sci-Fi writers of all time. This film based on his novel by the same name is a very well done modern telling of it. The San Francisco setting is made very haunting by the masterful camerawork, and great soundtrack. The cast is superb and Donald Sutherland, and leonard Nemoy are absolute masters. This film is in my opinion one of the greatest horror Sci-Fi films ever made.

It is now fasionable to re-make everything the moment someone's haircut looks outdated or an actor is no longer recognizable or if the female lead does not have a skinny body with tight jeans on only 1/2 an inch above her promised land. To this I say fine, cool, so be it, go for it. Just for crying out loud please come equal to or top the last film with the same name and source material.

I am excited for this new version of the film. I love Nicole Kidman and am sure she will do a great job. The trailer looks decent enough and the idea of using the shuttle disaster as a spring board to add realism is very cool. Just for gods sake watch this older version and pay attention. It's a great film and will still be great no matter how much time passes. I will be there to see the new film The Invasion but even if they mess it up I know I can always keep watching this gem.

Now i know how Bush was elected twice......Is it worth the upgrade?.......2007-06-19

This is the second remake of the 1956 classic of the same name. It was also done in 1993 with Body snatchers and will be once again with the Invasion starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel craig this August 17 2007.
Philip Kaufman (the right stuff, the unbearable lightness of being) directs this intense thriller.
I think a movie like this is scarier today think about it, we go to war and cause thousands of deaths for no reason, kids shoot up schools, people walk and drive aimlessly on cell phones oblivious and uncarring of their surroundings, you can't get a thank you or a your welcome at most places, why would this be i asked some.....(donald sutherland face) SCREAM!

African Healing Dance, with lead dancer Wyoma and the dancers and drummers of the Damballa dance troupe, is a step-by-step dance course on healing traditions and spiritual movements that are special to the African dance heritage. An African proverb teaches, "If you can talk, you can sing, and if you can walk, you can dance." Thus African Healing Dance is suited for beginning to advanced dancers, students of dance, instructors, and choreographers studying and/or performing African dance. The instructional video and included manual provide an effective guide for a dance or exercise program at home or in a workshop setting. Director of the Damballa dance troupe as well as head dancer, Wyoma begins with a simple warm-up, including breathing techniques; body articulation movements for the hips, chest, shoulders, and feet; and stretching. She then artistically integrates the teaching of six traditional African dances with the passion and joy of connecting dance movements that have the spirit and energy of nature and the elements (water, wind, fire, and earth) and animals such as the snake, elephant, and bird. A final portion of the 70-minute video is called "The Healing Journey," in which Wyoma encourages personal exploration of inner rhythms and feelings through improvisational movement. As one watches this video, it is difficult not to feel the pulse of the drumbeat and the spiritual strength of Wyoma and her celebration of life through dance. --Christine Aiken

Awesome teaching, never boring, great isolations & movements similar to Qi Gong & Kundalini yoga to increase energy.......2007-04-26

Everyone has wrote great reviews already. I was shy at first, but Wyoma's generous infectious spirit won me over within 10 min when she was teaching the basic movements with a drummer behind her. When giving it a try, I felt how good my body loved the fluidity of the movement & the simplicity of them & there was no perfect way to move & to let go. Those who are more "Type A" personality & don't know how to let go into a dance would benefit greatly & learn to let go with this.
She teaches alone inside at first for about 20 min, she gives you the origin of the dance, what the movements mean in history while teaching with simple, perfect timing cues so you never feel lost.
Outside with a beautiful mountain/hillside background, there are more percussionists & 1 female & 2 male dancers. There is a great warmup that really gets all the major joints & feels wonderful. The dance itself feels like over an hour of great stretching & increasing the fluid in your joints.
A few of the dances look almost exactly like Qi Gong or Kundalini movement to increase your constitutional energy and increase energy balance for your mind & body. It's interesting that some of these movements for healing have traveled so far thousands of years ago & people instinctively knew which ones were the most beneficial.

This video was very inspiring! A lot of it is about positive self-talk, about learning to love one's body, and confronting beauty stereotypes. I *love* at the women in it are very real, and that they even including a middle-aged breast cancer patient. You might not think of exotic dancing as being empowering for women (and indeed for some women it isn't), but it truly can be.

I've been doing bellydance videos for a while, so this video was much too rudimentary. But I've taught several other women to dance, and every once in a while I'll run across one that just can't let loose, can't love herself and her body enough to take herself serious and let out the inner seductress, who just can't seem to believe in their own sensuality and beauty. If that's you, please buy this DVD! I especially encourage older women to try this out. It's the philosophy behind the video that makes it worth having, not the dancing itself.

If you're really just hankering for some new moves and you can already handle yourself on a dance floor, this will be very old news for you. Rent it instead or something -- unless, like me, you're a self-empowerment junky and need a pick-me-up. It's very uplifting just to watch these amateur dancers talk and demonstrate how exotic dance has raised their self-esteems.

Love the DVD and the live version in class is incredible!.......2007-05-17

The DVD is perfect for the everyday woman. And the live version is just as amazing. The DVD is a great at home practice tool but at the workshops, you get a real feel for it and what Exotic Dancing is all about.

Not what I was expecting..........2007-05-12

This DVD was not what I was expecting. I watched it once and it was terrible! It is not for young people or popular music.

I like this video.......2007-04-29

This video is very basic - but for the everyday woman, that's all you need to begin with.

The hardest part of this video, for most woman, will be to buy it and try it. The moves are simple, it's the area between the ears we have to deal with that may be the hardest to overcome.
This video, to me, was a little 'pick me up'. Woman, by nature, are the caretakers. But the person we take care of the least is ourselves. So, for the woman who says, "Exotic dancing...Me??? You've got to be kidding??" Start by buying the dvd and play it when you're alone. Reconnect with yourself. You'll be surprised. You are not going to get a 'workout' from this dvd, but you will get self-esteem and rejuvinated about yourself.

Laurie Conrad is a great instructor - she makes sense as she is giving direction. The class is made up of woman we all can relate to and to hear them explain how they mastered or were unable to master certain moves was my favorite part of the dvd.

If you're looking to get your feet wet in exotic dancing, this dvd is for you. Basic, simple beginner moves. This dvd will get you over your 'fear' of exotic dance.

The first Strip-Tease DVD I ever bought.......2007-02-25

And it was worth it!! It's very instructional... uses everyday women and encourages a positive body image... The instructor is wonderful then after she does the moves, you watch the other women try it. It's good to know that, at first, you can't expect yourself to be very graceful. I practiced this DVD for a few nights and tried it out on my man... he was very pleasantly suprised... this one is a keeper.

Natural, open and mostly very attractive.......2006-10-03

This company seems to be able to cater for every one. In this DVD, the girls are beautiful as usual, they all seem to ne "natural" as the title implies and they all open their thighs for us and show the trademark view of this series, openly and in most cases very sexily.

The best feature of this particular DVD is that it proves that natural breasts come in all sizes and generally, while the girl is fit and young, they really have appeal to the male of the species (and I guess to the lesbians amongst us as well). The girls strip quickly, some are not as well rehearsed as they could be and it is obvious that they are receiving instructions as they go. A pity to have a flaw like that mar the otherwise great show. In this DVD there are more girls than the other ones I have reviewed.

It would be nice if the voice over was either left out or better done. If the guy who does it owns the company then that is that, otherwise retirement would be in order and a replacement found.

Women too "Real".......2007-02-10

My wife wanted to learn this new skill, and this one seemed the best fit for her basic skill level. It also had the best reviews. She's normally a very accepting person, but she just could not get over the appearance of some of these women. She was too distracted by the obesity and unattractiveness of some of the women to get a lot out of the video. She really tried to like it, but the nausea kept setting in. She feels bad, but this is our honest assessment. Imagine watching Roseanne Barr strip... yes, it's "real", but I prefer the bliss of ignorance in those cases.

For Real Women.......2007-01-05

This dvd is an instructional guide for learning how to perform a striptease. It is a very classy and well structured dvd. Worth the money if you want to try something new.

ho hum..........2006-12-09

I was very disappointed. It was not what I expected, nor what I had hoped for.
I felt it was not very positive and that I was being "talked down to".
I'm sorry I bought it.

Great for Beginners!.......2006-10-01

This dvd is the same as the one under the title, "Exotic dancing for Everyday Women." I love this tape as it teaches you some of the beginning moves in erotic dance. It also gives info on basic lap moves and other info about self-esteem, body love and how to create a romantic environment. There's a lot of really good info here for women who are new to erotic dancing.

I hope more dvds from Susan will be forthcoming as she really is an excellent teacher and I think many students will appreciate her direct instructional approach to teaching this dance form.

If you have dance experience, this dvd will not be of much help to you. For experienced dancers, I'd suggest buying "The Art of Erotic Dancing," dvds by Fawnia or other performance related dvds on stripping. Keep in mind that with the performance dvds, you will need to have the ability to learn or pick up on moves through an observational approach.

Too basic.......2006-09-23

For me it was big disappointment, I could hardly get anything from this DVD. The moves were too basic, dance routines were not interesting either. Also, I would say that it shows more a classical way of doing striptease, while being a young woman I prefer something more modern & energeting (in this sense I really liked Exotic dance series). I still think this DVD can be useful for women with no or limited dance experience, or for those who do not feel confident about their bodies - self-acceptance is quite a part of this video.

sorry, but it just doesnt deliver a knockout punch.......2007-04-07

john garfield gives a worthy performance in this otherwise dated boxing film from director robert rossen. the movie manages to embrace nearly every cliche of the boxing movie, tho its mercifully shorter than the typical sylvester stallone opus. perhaps its just that this is a genre of film im just not a fan of (my favorite boxing flick is the parody "movie movie"), but i just dont much care what happens to these people. interestingly, there IS a sidelight to this particular movie -- but it has nothing to do with boxing: scads of the cast & crew would be caught up in the next few years in the red scare and the black list" most notably its star (driven to a premature death) and its director (who saved his career, if not his self-respect by naming names). add a star if youre a fan of boxing movies.

The Rocky Road of Boxing.......2007-03-03

Body and Soul, 1947 film

A man in a rural area gets into a car and drives to a city. Charley Davis is a boxer, and he visits his mother. Peggy is not happy to see him. There will be a fight the next day. Charley was told to make the fight last 15 rounds. The bets are all in. Then Charley recalls his past life, when he first met Peg, a model and painter. Charley's parents did not approve of prizefighters. Some gang attacks a neighboring speakeasy, there is collateral damage at his parent's candy store. The story shows the hard times for ordinary people. Charley's Mom wants to get a loan so Charley can get an education, but Charley refuses. Charley will fight to make big money. But Mr. Roberts controls the fight game in New York.

After a year Charley is near the top. He has a lot of money now, and drinks. Mr. Roberts demands that Ben, injured in his last bout, fight Charley. Mr. Roberts also makes a new deal to split the winnings. In the fight Charley knocks out Ben, the champ. At the celebration party some facts come out, and Shorty leaves them. Peg decides she doesn't want that life. Charley continues with his good times. Then a new challenger appears. The deal is for Charley to go 15 rounds for a decision (the fix is in). A big fix like this is a lush opportunity in a lifetime. Charley thinks of ending his career, this will be his last fight.

But there is a complication in his life. Ben the trainer had stayed in the fight game too long. The title fight goes on. Charley isn't doing so well, he is knocked down but saved by the bell. Charley does worse in the next round. There is a KO in the last round, Charley pulled off a victory!

[This happy ending seems to contradict the story. This film tells how bouts are manipulated, like in other show businesses. Does it remind you of things in the real world?

Soul-less Transfer and Editing.......2006-07-06

Don't let the stars fool you, I love this movie and if I were reviewing the movie itself on its merits alone, it would get 6 stars. My love for this classic is the reason I can give this DVD version only two stars. The print is very poor - the lighting in some scenes is too dark to pick up some details. There are skips and jumps in the frame. The sound transfer is also very uneven. In fact my 20 year-old VHS tape is STILL better quality than this DVD. But all those technical faults could be forgiven were it not for the most egregious cut of all - a few lines of dialogue. In a pivotal scene where the grocer delivers to the Davis house, Charley has just told Peg that he needs his money to bet on the fight. The grocer comes in and talks about everyone betting on the fight - Charley says anyone who bets is foolish. The grocer disagrees. The words that were cut out of this print, essentially the heart of why the neighborhood loves their champ, are very simple "In Europe, the Nazis are killing our people, but here Charley is Champeen! No, it's not about the money." I have no idea why these lines are missing, but it was the final straw before I returned the DVD for a refund.

Unfortunately us movie fans lose out again. We can't get a decent transfer or an unedited copy of a great film. Many lesser films released in the last 5 years have several editions available, with added footage, interviews, alternate endings, "director's" cuts and other gimmicks to drive sales. It's a good thing I haven't given away my VHS tape or dumped my VCR, otherwise I'd never again see this movie in a facsimile of its intended presentation. I guess the simple grocer was wrong, it's always about the money.

By unanimous decision: one of the best boxing movies ever.......2005-11-28

The quintessential fight movie, starring John Garfield as the boxer who works his way up to becoming the champ, but sells his soul (and body) to sleezy promoters along the way. He does whatever they tell him to do, as long as he gets his money. In his last fight he's supposed to take a dive so a new champ can be crowned (Garfield even bets against himself), but at the last minute he gains his self-respect and wins the bout.

As a boxing movie there is the usual fare offered up: corruption, sleezebag fights, money grubbing - but the cast does a superb job all around and makes the picture top-notch entertainment. The whole movie has an uncommon sense of realism about it. Lili Palmer as Garfield's true love and Anne Revere as his mother are real standouts. The scenes with black actor Canada Lee (who was also a professional fighter) are also on the level for once. The script is excellent, and the photography, especially of the fight scenes, is eye-popping. And, of course, the haunting theme song occurs throughout the movie, to great effect. An excellent movie in every way; definitely worth a watch.

The Winner And Still Champion.......2005-10-02

With the arguable exeption of "Rocky" and "Raging Bull" BAS is the greatest boxing film of all time -- perhaps one of the greatest films of any kind. To a young viewer, it may seem riddled with cliche's, (which is part of the fun) but realize, BAS was the prototype for such cliche's. It literally wrote the book of using boxing as a metaphor of the struggle of life itself . The depiction of the sleezy promoter, the allure of money and fame, the glorification of violence, the betrayal of those who are no longer useful, and the ultimate fall from grace caused by the cruelest of enemies -- age. It's all here. It's the most basic of morality tales -- everybody loves a winner, but nobody stays a winner for long. And in a touch of blue collar existentialism, the most profound statement of all reverberatates throughout -- "everybody dies". This was the role Garfield was meant to play. A combination of tough guy swagger with a touch of self doubt. Garfield also insisted on a scene (often cut out on television presentations) where the characters address the fact that " people like us are being persecuted in Germany." This was heavy stuff for Hollywood to handle at the time, and it makes its point more powerfully than a 3 hour documentary on the holocaust. The final fight scene is devestatingly gritty. But throughout the entire film there isn't a false step in the direction or the performances and even the score is magnificant. (People who thought Million Dollar baby was a masterpiece, take note...THIS is the way it's supposed to be done). But what I think is the most powerful aspect of this film is also what is most misunderstood. The ending of BAS is often viewed as an act of redemption, when it is not. It is an act of SPITE. (Stop here if you don't want to know the ending) Charlie fights to win not for glory or out of a sense of duty. But because he's been betrayed and would rather lose it all that to let the "evil" prosper at his expense. That is humbris times ten! And that is the action of a pure, unadulterated,prideful, arrogent, politically incorrect, "don't let them make a monkey out of you" American man from the middle of the 20th century -- the kind they don't make anymore. As is this movie. It's a must. Enjoy.
