Description
The final Season comes to DVD! In season 10, Vala, a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter, joins SG-1 in their battle to defend the galaxy from the holy war of the Ori. Meanwhile, relations between the Jaffa and Earth continue to be strained. It all comes to a sizzling end on the finale.

Wistful that a great series is ending........2007-07-07
The series was getting to seem a bit long in the tooth but features solid writing, great characters and the usual stellar production values. I'll of course own this DVD and will continue to enjoy the series, a fine blend of pulp sci fi and space opera that always surprised, entertained and will never get old. I'm glad to see that the story lines will hopefully be wrapped in the movies to come. I look forward to a more focused writing team for future SG Atlantis seasons and some interesting evolution's of SG in the future.
The End of an Era.......2007-07-02
I remember the original Stargate SG-1 movie and while it was good, I think Richard Dean Anderson and Daniel Shanks made a better team than Kurt Russell and James Spader. Stargate offered an exciting journey to distant lands in a blink of an eye and the journey was usually quick, saving more time for adventure.
But after season 8, Stargate got too familiar, always fighting the Gu'ald. The addition of Ben Browder and Claudia Black seemed too reminiscent of Farscape. But the addition of the Ori as a new formidable opponent made the series sizzle again!
Season 10 continues Stargate SG-1's battle against the Ori, one of the most powerful enemies ever concocted. The search for Merlin's weapon against the Ancients that would also destroy the Ori leads one on a quest where even the Gu'ald team up with the SG-1 team to help defeat the Ori. The Ori can transform humans into their oracles and spokesmen and it is interesting to see Daniel Jackson as an Ori. But buy the DVD and see what happens next!
Stargate SG-1 may not be the cleverest series, but it offered quality entertainment to the family for 10 years. I doubt if StarWars could continue as good a series for 10 years. Even though the 100th and 200th episodes were campy and goofy, the 200th episode did have references to Farscape and a tongue-in-cheek view of the show. Stargate offered a look inside each character and although we hoped something would happen between Jack O'Neal and Samantha Carter, it was nice to see Daniel Jackson and Vala as a couple. The show's ending was bittersweet but it's nice to know that there will be movies following.
The series finale did not go out in a bang, or a whimper. It was tastefully done and unexpected. There was a LOT of loose ends and I hope the movies will resolve these. I will get Season 10 to finalize my box set collection. You should too because it will become a SciFi classic!
Not Credible Actors.......2007-06-29
These actors look like bubble-headed popular kids from priviledged backgrounds. In fact, they seemed to have been groomed by the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" boys. I don't want to see this nonsense. The future, especially in space, belongs to those that study mathematics and science HARD. These pretty boys don't look like they ever spent a Saturday night cramming physics facts into themselves. The breakthrough movie "Revenge of the Nerds" showed us real science heroes, and they weren't pretty boys like these. Space isn't going to be conquered by these male boutique shopping, Pilates doing metrosexuals.
Good show comes to an end.......2007-06-18
This is one of the best of the seasons that I have seen. If there was one problem than it was that they pushed the losing a team-mate thing too far and the need to drag Vala's father into this particular season was really unnecessary. There were some really good episodes in this one my particular favorite was when they were dealing with the cloned Ba'als and the camping trip that they took. But all in all this was a good season. Seeing it come to a close is hard, but it'll end with a bang and I look forward to those two movies when they come out.
Help me out..........2007-06-16
Someone will have to help me out here. I have watched the first two seasons of this series, and frankly, it is not good. Do they get better as the seasons go on? Compared to others in this genre, and other TV Series of any genre, this series, the first two years, at least, are infantile. The acting is bland at best. The story set-ups are done without any imagination. The premise is very quickly worn out. This actually went for ten seasons?! I'm sorry, I cannot figure out the target audience. The same folks who like other stuff like this cannot like this one.

Customer Reviews:
Holy Cow, Buy This if You Didn't Purchase the Seasons As They Came Out.......2007-07-05
If it's way less than $300 for the entire series, you need to buy it.
From 2002 to 2006, I bought each season of Friends as they were released. I just want to encourage anyone who is "iffy" or uncertain about buying this set of all ten seasons. Do it!
Grab it while you can. This is one of those sitcoms that has such re-watchability, like Seinfeld and Frasier and The Golden Girls. I still laugh out loud at these characters and the writing.
Couldn't be more excited.......2007-06-27
I absolutely loved it. As soon as I recieved I watched the entire first season. The only problem that I have is that in some parts it freezes like from a scratch but it isn't too bad. Love shopping at amazon
Perfect purchase.......2007-06-27
I bought the box set as a gift for my boyfriend, and he was really pleased with it. The box is strong enough to have the DVDs, the booklet is very useful, and also when you play a DVD in you computer a software from WB can be installed automatically so you can watch the episodes using that program. Regarding the quality of the DVDs, I have no complaints, the image is good, the sound too, plus you have different language subtitles to practice with. And one more thing, I was afraid that the box would be delived to me practically in pieces because of the shipment period (two weeks and a bit more)and because of some review I read, but it was in perfect conditions. You should definitely buy this Product!
This is automatic brownie points with your lady!!.......2007-06-27
I can't say I was a fan of the show in the beginning of its run. I tend to watch more cartoons than sitcoms. When I first met my girlfriend, she got me into watching this show. At first I only watched it because that meant I got to sit and hold her for 30 minutes; but the show kinda grew on me.
I like friends, and even though they didn't really have any other RACES on the show as regulars, you could find a piece of yourself in at least one of the six characters.
I am definately Chandler.
Oh My God! .......2007-06-25
Excellent option if you want to have all ten seasons at the same time, and at a very cheap price. It was delivered in ten days here to Mexico. And yes, it does have spanish subtitles.

13. Go God Go pt 2. Cartman unforunatly finds himself waking up 500 yrs into the father, rather than just the 3 weeks as he wanted. He wakes up to witness the future has become an Athiest society.
14. Stanley's Cup-Stan is hired to coach a pee wee hickey team. However, coaching is no walk in the park.
That basically. Def see because it willl provide a lot of good memories.
Yeesssssss! Yeeeesssssssssss! .......2007-06-28
Ok...Season Ten, happens to be one of the best seasons of South Park. This is a must for any South Park fan.
"Live to Win!"
Getting better all the time.......2007-06-18
I thought at frist this season was going to suck
but to my surpise i loved it and can't wait for it to come out
and i liked it more then season 9
These kids are alright.......2007-06-06
The landmark season of South Park saw Matt Stone and Trey Parker's animated series back on top thanks to some scathing, satirical moments and just plain animated lunacy. It also saw the departure of Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef, who departed after the previous season's lampooning of scientology and Tom Cruise. His departure is spoofed in the opening "Return of Chef" which uses archive sounds of Hayes' voice as Chef returns to South Park brainwashed by the Super Adventure Club, and seeling to "re-connect" with children. Things only get better as Kyle's dad buys a hybrid car in "Smug Alert!", Al Gore seeks attention from anyone with "Manbearpig", Cartman's mom turns to the Dog Whisperer in "Tsst!", Satan has a killer Halloween party in "Hell on Earth 2006", and Cartman seeks to freeze himself in anticipation for the release of the Nintendo Wii in "Go God Go". The best moments of the season however came with the two part "Cartoon Wars" which hilariously lampooned Family Guy, and it makes sense in a way you've never imagined. "Make Love, Not Warcraft" satires the players of the incredibly popular online RPG, and "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy" finds little Ike having an illicit affair. The only downpoint of the season is the closing "Stanley's Cup" which finds Stan coaching a terrible pee-wee hockey team, for no apparent reason. This episode just isn't funny, at all. Despite that though, every other episode here in the tenth season is a winner, and ten years and still going strong, South Park proves that these kids are quite alright.

Battlestar Galactica's season 2.5 (i.e., the final 10 episodes of the second season, plus an extended version of episode 10) picks up where season 2.0 (the first 10 episodes) left off: Galactica's giddy reunion with the Pegasus had taken a sour turn when Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) went back on her word to Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos) and decided to integrate the crews, moving Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) to Pegasus. The animosity, combined with an attack on Sharon (Grace Park), threatens to derail a golden opportunity for the fleet to strike the Cylons where they'll hurt, and stay hurt--their resurrection ship.
In many ways, Sharon is the central character. The attack lands Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) and the Chief (Aaron Douglas) in hot water; her impending baby remains the subject of heated debate among president Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell), Commander Adama, and others; and a rebellious movement determined to force Galactica to give up the Cylon ends up threatening both Apollo and Starbuck and putting further strain on their already-shaky relationship. Dr. Baltar (James Callis) becomes even more intertwined with the Cylons when he discovers another version of Number Six (Tricia Helfer) on the Pegasus, but is also in line to take over the presidency as Roslin's cancer reaches a critical stage. Battlestar Galactica's inexorable dramatic arc sagged in a couple episodes during this run, but the terrific two-part season finale involving a presidential election, a glimmer of hope for humanity, and some unexpected turns of events makes for a thrilling springboard to season 3. Battlestar is often called the best sci-fi show on television, but that seems like damning it with faint praise; it's the best drama on television.
In addition to the 10 episodes, the three-DVD set has an extended version of the last episode of season 2.0, "Pegasus"; the extra 15 minutes include a longer conversation in which Cain reveals her plans to Adama. That episode has a commentary track by executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, Moore's podcast commentaries are on every other episode, Eick's "video blogs" serve as casual featurettes on series production, and there are numerous deleted scenes. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews:
Not as Good as the First Season - Got Political.......2007-07-07
Not as good as the first season but still pretty smokin. My major complaints are that the show gets way too dark, to the point of being down right bleak. More humor is required to lighten things up a bit.
Also the show exposes its political colors on several issues like abortion, euthanasia, etc. No matter what one believes a good show will show both sides how the world naturally manifests theses and not make one side seem cardboard like by using these issues to make its own political point. The show then moves away from entertainment and into the realm of propaganda. This show has so much potential and it was disheartening to see this element come out so strongly, at least in several of the episodes.
Fortunately there were other episodes and elements to the show that had great worth, hence the still relatively high rating. The strongest aspects to the show are its acting, special effects, an interesting plot twists. Though if they kill off any more of humanity there won't be much more death they can deal. I think the show needs to use death more sparingly but still I liked this season very much overall.
Love this remake.......2007-07-04
This is really how to remake a classic. They do a great job love the series and the DVD did not disappoint. The only gripe is that they broke the 2nd season into two parts.
Galactica Season 2, 2nd half.......2007-06-09
A very interesting, very good series.
Excellent special effects and a good inter-personal story as well, a must see for all Sci-Fi fans.
more goodness.......2007-05-22
If you are reading this then you are already hooked on the series and might as well just buy it! Sure, it sucks that they broke the season into 2 expensive parts but the story line is still good and the final episode is a stunner!
The Best TV Has to Offer.......2007-05-21
I enjoyed Season 2.5 a little more than 2.0. Perhaps that's because as far as the second season as a larger arc goes, this half seems to be where the buildup and climax was.
BSG is best when it gets epic, so I tend to find the two-parter episodes to be the best. Early in 2.5 there are the "Resurrection" episodes and the season ends with the "Lay Down Your Burdens" episodes--both examples of Battlestar at its best.
Everything that has made this series great--character and conflict first come to mind--is here, but the mystery surrounding the Cylons' motives deepens.
Most TV is not that good. But Battlestar has managed at least two excellent seasons. I can't wait for Season Three to come out on DVD.

Love it!.......2007-07-06
I actually do it! I think that says it all! I'm always sore the next day and I can tell a difference already! I've been doing it almost every other day for a month now. I've never felt comfortable working out in front of my husband, but not only do I do this in front of him, but he does it with me and it whips both of our butts! We look like dorks and grunt and laugh the whole way, but it feels good and I must say I'm proud of myself. 10 minutes is manageable! I have no excuse with this! The great thing is you can do as many 10 minute segments that you want, there are 5 to choose from. I always do more than 10 minutes, so I must say this is a great way to get into a routine!
can't ask for much in 10.......2007-06-19
Got this to try something new and wanted to work on my flexability. Good for light days or days you want to focus on abs and stretching. Only thing I really wish is that she would cue better on the breathing. There are parts that she focuses really well on it or makes it very obvious whether you should be inhaling or exhaling, and then there are others that she moves very quickly through and doesn't give quite enough instruction on breathing or the beginner modifications. Overall not bad for what it is. Has potential once I get more aquainted with proper breathing and moves.
Great workout.......2007-06-16
I am impressed with this 10-minute workout. The exercises are excellent and focused.
Love It!!!.......2007-06-14
I bought this DVD on a whim. I saw it in a store and it looked interesting. The variety is really great. I love that I can set up my own workout if I want to do certain areas one day or do the whole thing if I have the time and energy. For me, there are also some really different exercises and stretches, not the same old stuff I've been doing. I highly recommend it.
Ignore the positive reviews..........2007-06-03
I'd give this zero stars if I could. These people giving positive reviews must be professional Pilates instructors or acrobats. Contrary to what someone on here said, this is NOT for beginners or even those that have done Pilates for awhile. I did this once and now I'm going to get rid of it. The instructor is nice and cues very well; you can learn this from the start if you can do all the difficult moves. But I couldn't. I hurt my back, neck, arms, and hands, sweat just a little bit, and felt like I accomplished absolutely nothing except to injure myself. I don't recommend this for anyone unless they're an expert at twisting themselves into impossible positions for long periods of time. Take my advice and stay away from this.

The first half of Battlestar Galactica's second season left no doubts about the continuing excellence of the best science fiction TV series of 2005. Beginning with the Colonial Fleet separated, Col. Tigh (Michael Hogan) botching his temporary command, and Capt. Adama (Edward James Olmos) near death after a Cylon assassination attempt, series producer/developer Ronald D. Moore and his gifted writing staff packed more into these 10 episodes than most series manage in a full season. Maintaining its reputation as an adult drama, the series is compellingly anchored by the gravitas of Olmos and Mary McDonnell, whose role as Fleet President Laura Roslin grows more complex as she reveals her diagnosis of breast cancer and defies Adama, playing the "religious card" with her conviction that prophetic visions will lead the embattled fleet toward its legendary home planet Earth. As Adama's son Apollo (Jamie Bamber) wrestles with his role in Roslin's mutinous agenda, paranoia runs high as Cylon copies (or "avatars") of Boomer (Grace Park) complicate matters aboard Galactica and on Kobol, where a lost Raptor crew struggles to survive and Dr. Baltar (James Callis) endures the increasingly haunting and manipulative intrusions into his tormented psyche by Number Six (Tricia Helfer), the seductive Cylon who holds the secret to the Cylon master plan to destroy humankind.
Further action takes place on Cylon-occupied Caprica, where Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and Helo (Tamoh Penikett) discover a group of human resistance fighters who survived the Cylons' nuclear attack in season 1. As all of these plot threads are expertly interwoven, the high-stakes conflict of BG 2.0 culminates in a suspenseful mid-season cliffhanger. Through all of this, Battlestar Galactica maintains consistently high standards of intelligent drama and well-justified, story-based use of spectacular special effects, while developing rich relationships across a broad spectrum of interesting supporting characters. The series' large and likable cast is well-used throughout (even smaller roles are given adequate dimension), and Moore's "podcast" commentaries provide a smart, thorough analysis of the show's writing process and conceptual evolution. Yes, it's undeniably true that this half-season DVD set is a blatantly commercial ploy to lure more and more viewers into the ongoing season (which resumed in January 2006), but you can hardly blame Universal for capitalizing on a high-quality series. With solid ratings, good scripts, and a devoted cast and crew, Battlestar Galactica showed every indication of thriving toward a third season and beyond. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:
Best First Season I have ever seen.......2007-07-07
The graphics are as good as any big budget movie production, the acting impeccable, the plot fascinating, and above all this show will really make you think about the deeper implications. I've never seen a first season show come so strongly out of the gate.
If I had one complaint it would be that the show is too dark. But then again the whole premise of the show does not realistically allow for much else. I enjoy this show for what it is, an intensely well constructed drama that emerges the viewer completely into its world.
Love this remake.......2007-07-04
Great series and DVD. Only complaint was that they broke it up over two DVD's for season 2
Fantastic Show - From Someone Who Doesn't Watch TV .......2007-07-02
I don't even watch or care for television drama (the Sopranos is the only other drama I've followed in the past 10+ years), but I love "Battlestar Galactica."
After the Cylons (robots) wipe out almost all of humanity in a sneak attack, the "Battlestar Galactica" is the last remaining human warship and leads the few survivors on a search for the mythical Earth. The television show focuses on the President of the Colonies and the military leaders aboard the Galactica. The show has a gritty, realistic, military feel, but despite this, the show is much more than an action/military show: it expertly blends politics, morality, philososphy, and religion into its many plots and focuses on the many characters as they cope with the travails of humanity facing extinction.
Season 2.0 features serious conflicts between the military and civilian leadership that almost erupt into civil war, a return trip to Caprica, religious prophecies fulfilled, and more plot twists involving Cylon agents inside the fleet, and ends with even more drama. While it may not be true enough to "the original" Battlestar Galactica, it is a fantastic television show. Watch Season One and Season 2.0, and then enjoy the remaining seasons.
Superb.......2007-07-02
Just a great show, from concept to the visual effects. Every time I watch the show it reminds me why I love the sci-fi genre and what sci-fi can be when it is done right. It is just a great time to sit down and go through these episodes on DVD.
Not real happy.......2007-06-10
I had ordered Battle Star Galactica season 2 but got an entirely different item. When I spoke to them they said they didn't even have the title in stock. I'm still waiting to see if I'm going to be reimbursed.

Callanetics workout twice a week, the body you always dreamed about is only hours away.

It's worked for 19 years!.......2007-07-03
I have been using my Callenetics VHS tape for 19 years. I am so glad to see it on DVD! I am 46 years old and I feel as strong today as I did in my 20's. Don't let the dated leotards and hair styles fool you...it works and it works fast.
Fast Turnaround.......2007-06-27
I was happy to locate this item at Amazon since I had been searching for it for quite a long time. I had purchased this program on VCR several years ago and wanted to have it in DVD form to make it convenient to continue using with today's equipment. I was very pleased when the item arrived even earlier than I expected and in excellent condition.
Great.......2007-06-23
I purchased this DVD in June. I believed that it wasn't chaptered, and was surprised and happy to find that the chapters worked perfectly. I have a background in ballet and Pilates. So, I recognized Pilates in the abdominal exercises (100s) and the ballet stretches on the barre. The look may be outdated, but the content is as worthwhile today as it always was. While it is true that sustained stretches are now considered preferable to "bouncing" stretches, Callanetics "bouncing" is only a quarter of an inch or less - not much. This DVD is a good example of, "there's nothing new under the sun" and, "everything old becomes new again". I was totally ASTONISHED by the realization that Callanetics must be the inspiration and foundation for the "Fluidity" barre and companion exercise approach (I have the product.). I think that the instruction on this DVD is outstanding, along with the corrections for achieving better form and preventing injury. I'm so happy with this DVD that I purchased a used copy of the companion book - along with Super Callanetics - which I have not yet tried. I just wish that I could work with the instructor here in the Southwest...
Tediously long, hilariously dated, and INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE.......2007-05-31
This is the most effective workout I've ever experienced. When I was using this DVD every day I had the perfect body and I could eat and wear anything I wanted. Nowadays I usually alternate it with other workout DVDs, but it's always nearby. I usually at least do the ab section if I have a cardio day. It requires a chair or something that you can use as a barre, and a mat if you don't have carpet. One thing: in this day and age it's not recommended to perform a ballistic stretch (bouncing stretch, as in the leg stretches) so I generally just hold the stretch without pulsing and it is still very effective. Use your own discretion, but that is my "warning".
Great Exercise Video.......2007-05-30
I first found this exercise video 20 years ago. And always had great results with using the exercises. Then I wasn't able to find it until now. Very happy to be reunited with it. I recommend it for building a stronger, firmer body.

Customer Reviews:
EXCELLENT DANCE WORKOUT!.......2007-07-03
I really enjoyed this DVD! I did some research prior to ordering it as there are so many on the market to choose from. However, my research paid off as I am thrilled with this workout dance video. Being a former "Club Hopper" from New York City, I was looking for something "Stylin and Raw" not some corney dance steps by a bunch of Barbie dolls! This DVD is easy to follow, gets the heart rate going, and makes you feel like you're in a club. The instructor can really move, which really motivates you. A MUST BUY!!!
It shines where it shines, but it has it's dark spots.......2007-06-24
I bought this product because I thought it would teach me some dance moves while helping me out with my cardio. Not many moves were taught, but it is a fabulous workout! Let me tell you, it works up a light sweat with one workout and that was great!
Although I am very pleased with my purchase, the abs workout was horrible! I do pilates a lot and this was a wreck. The other 10 minute sessions really made up for it though! This is a great purchase all in all! By the way, if you are looking for an ab workout I'd go with Ana Caban's pilates mat workouts.
Nice hip hop moves & dancers w/some toning.......2007-06-14
Set on nice white stage with 2 backup girls. The music could be much better & I think it keeps me from getting into it more because after the 10 min, I'm kinda bored for some reason though I love the teaching style, pace & enjoy learning the good moves. Jennifer in this dvd gives great cues at great timing & has a good attention to detail such as reminding you to turn out your knee in the thigh workout to make sure you're working your inner thighs. I love her best here, in her Prevention: Dance it off! I didn't like the dance moves, in her Crunch: Fat Burning Dance Party in 2005 had good moves, but not enough breakdown or 1/2 time teaching.
There's only a 30 second to 1 min warm up & cool down, but there would be no time in a 10 min workout.
Jennifer starts off with simple step touches, teaches in 1/2 time, build up to bigger moves & more detail, and then adds the arms so you can keep up easily a few times, then goes normal speed a few times. After you learn 2 moves, she puts them together in routine, and so on for about 4-5 moves each 10 min workout.
Any dance move that's good you will not get the first time, as long as you're not staring at the tv totally lost, you will get it, trust me. Everything takes practice. She is only going to show the teaching for only so long so you get to learn more moves & won't be bored once you've viewed this several times.
The Simple Slimmer & Calorie Meltdown is all dance moves. I didn't have to fast fwd or go in slow motion to keep up.
In the fat burning dance party, only in one kick fwd, step back move did I have to go in slow motion since she didn't do it in 1/2 time. At one point, she says "I'm gong to talk less because instructors get tired too." I like to see videos where you see the instructor doing it, getting hot (it's harder for them with all the blazing industrial strength lights to kill every single shadow) w/o breaks for makeup & hair touch ups.
The Butt & Thigh blaster is more slow toning moves that turn into very simple, basic hip hop dance moves & was too easy & simplistic for me.
Ab Attack: same style as butt/thigh.. more about slow toning with simple moves like chest circles knee to chest with arms down, etc.

Fun, but doesn't make you sweat.......2007-06-04
This exercise is fun, but it didn't really make me sweat too much compared to the Kickboxing. I have a feeling you really have to get into it in order to make it be a great work out that you can feel. However, the dance moves were tricky enough that I spent more time trying to focus on the steps as opposed to working my muscles.
A little too difficult to follow.......2007-05-29
I loved the fact that after 3 10-minutes workout, I was sweating as if I ran 30 mins on the treadmill. However, I found the dance moves a little hard to follow for a non-dancer like me. I guess the instructor did not have enough time to get viewers used to the moves, due to the limitation of time -- 10 mins. Also, the instructions to those moves are hard to follow, for I was never familiar with those dance terms. During the entire workout, I felt "busy" watching the moves on TV and listening to the instruction.

It's, like, Shakespeare, man! This good-natured and likeable update of The Taming of the Shrew takes the basics of Shakespeare's farce about a surly wench and the man who tries to win her and transfers it to modern-day Padua High School. Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) is a sullen, forbidding riot grrrl who has a blistering word for everyone; her sunny younger sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) is poised for high school stardom. The problem: overprotective and paranoid Papa Stratford (a dryly funny Larry Miller) won't let Bianca date until boy-hating Kat does, which is to say never. When Bianca's pining suitor Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) gets wind of this, he hires the mysterious, brooding Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to loosen Kat up. Of course, what starts out as a paying gig turns to true love as Patrick discovers that underneath her brittle exterior, Kat is a regular babe. The script, by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, is sitcom-funny with peppy one-liners and lots of smart teenspeak; however, its cleverness and imagination doesn't really extend beyond its characters' Renaissance names and occasional snippets of real Shakespearean dialogue. What makes the movie energetic and winning is the formula that helped make She's All That such a big hit: two high-wattage stars who look great and can really act. Ledger is a hunk of promise with a quick grin and charming Aussie accent, and Stiles mines Kat's bitterness and anger to depths usually unknown in teen films; her recitation of her English class sonnet (from which the film takes its title) is funny, heartbreaking, and hopelessly romantic. The imperious Allison Janney (Primary Colors) nearly steals the film as a no-nonsense guidance counselor secretly writing a trashy romance novel. --Mark Englehart
Description
A cool cast of young stars is just one of the things you'll love about this hilarious comedy hit! On the first day at his new school, Cameron (Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- HALLOWEEN: H2O, TV's "3RD Rock From The Sun") instantly falls for Bianca (Larisa Oleynik -- THE BABY SITTERS CLUB), the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date ... until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat (Julia Stiles -- THE BOURNE IDENTITY, SAVE THE LAST DANCE) goes out too! In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad-boy (Heath Ledger -- A KNIGHT'S TALE, THE PATRIOT) with a nasty reputation of his own! Also featuring a hip soundtrack -- this witty comedy is a wildly entertaining look at exactly how far some guys will go to get a date!
Customer Reviews:
There is nothing to hate about this smart and clever teen comedy..........2007-07-05
One of my favorite teen comedies would have to be '10 Things I Hate About You', a film that remains hilarious and smart as each year passes. The dialog is snappy and sincere and the acting is really top notch for a teen film, every actor in perfect unison and really in tune with their character. As far as modern adaptations of Shakespearian novels go (and there are tons of them as we are all well aware) this is one of the better ones. It stays true to the concept of the original `Taming of the Shrew' but adds enough clever twists that make this original and a lot of fun. The chemistry between the actors is wonderful, and for a film staring a group of young actors it's one of the only films to star a group of `talented' young actors, from recent Oscar nominee Heath Ledger to Oscar snubbed Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The plot of the film follows Cameron, played by Gordon-Levitt, as he pines for the attention of Bianca, played by Larisa Oleynik. The problem Cameron faces is not the fact that she's one of the most popular girls in school, and way out of his league but the fact that her father refuses to let her date. His stipulation is that her older sister Kat begin dating first, and Kat is not about to do that anytime soon. Cameron decides his only option is to find a suitor for Kat, someone to sweep her off her feet, problem being that everyone at the school is afraid of Kat. She's abrasive, rude and has made it perfectly clear that she has no interest in boys. But Cameron finds Patrick Verona, the mysterious tough guy with no fears, and offers him cash to take out Kat. Thus the hunt begins. Patrick finds it more difficult than expected to woo Kat but as he attempts he finds that his original disinterest in her is turning to genuine infatuation and then to a more mature caring and concern. He's falling in love with her and surprisingly she's falling for him as well.
All four of the main stars work wonders with their characters. Oleynik is sweet, funny and realistic as Bianca. I remember watching her on Nickelodeon's `The Secret World of Alex Mack' and thinking she had that natural talent, of course I was twelve but whatever. Here she doesn't disappoint, even now that I'm much older than twelve. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is great here, really natural. He's matured into such a wonderful actor and his selection in films is wonderfully eclectic. Julia Stiles also blew me away here. I've always been a fan of her acting, she's charming and beautiful to look at, but her she shows layers of depth and reality to a character that could have easily become surface in the hands of another actress. She truly deserves a better career than the one she has. And talking about better careers, look no further than the standout performer of the bunch Heath Ledger. Before `Brokeback Mountain' he was the one to watch for. Here he's charming, natural, charismatic, funny and definitely ahead of the pack as far as natural talent is concerned. I'm so proud of him as an actor.
The supporting players are all great as well, from Larry Miller who plays the girls paranoid father (that whole scene with the pregnant crack addict story is priceless) to Allison Janney who plays the sex obsessed guidance councilor, everyone is on the top of their game. But ultimately this is a teen movie, about and for teens and so I need to make mention of the supporting actors playing teens (I say `playing' because I'm sure most of them are in their twenties/thirties as is almost always the case). David Khumoltz is effective in the geeky sidekick role, but it's Andrew Keegan who shines as popular, too cool for his own good, cocky jerk Joey. He's utterly hilarious in his role which could have gone the route of stock character but instead stepped out from the pack and became a very memorable part of the film. That whole scene with the two pictures was genius. With a tight script and an effective cast '10 Things I Hate About You' should prove to be an enjoyable movie experience, one for the textbooks!
An entertaining movie for teens!.......2007-06-19
In terms of teen flicks, this one is at (or near) the top of my list. With a cast busting with famous actors and actresses (including Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger), this film is sure to bring entertainment to those who watch it.
So what's this movie about? While being given a tour of his new school, a boy named Cameron falls for a popular girl named Bianca. Cameron tries his hardest to get a date with Bianca but he ultimately finds out that she can't date anyone until her sister Kat starts dating. The problem? Kat doesn't want to date and she has a bad attitude so even if she wanted to, guys wouldn't necessarily flock to her. Cameron has to try to find a guy for Kat and ultimately chooses Patrick, a guy who has a bad reputation and a bad attitude (sort of like Kat). Will Kat drop her guard and date Patrick? Will Bianca want to date Cameron? And when another guy comes into the picture, which guy will Bianca choose? To find out the answers to these questions, you must watch this movie.
So what's to like about this movie? There's a ton going on in this movie. You have several different storylines and different questions will arise during the entire movie. You have the Patrick and Kat storyline. You have the Bianca and Cameron storyline. You have the Bianca and another guy storyline. You even have a storyline involving two semi-geeky kids. There are some funny parts. And even more emotional parts. It truly will suck you in. Although the ending is predictable, you'll want to see what exactly happens at the end.
And what's not to like? Don't expect this movie to be Oscar-worthy. This is a typical teen movie about high school and dating, nothing serious.
Bottom line: If you're just looking for a fun, no frills kind of movie to watch with a few friends, try this one. It's a cute film for teens!
Fun But Predictable.......2007-05-17
10 Things I Hate About You is another variation of Taming the Shrew and generally succeeds in its attempt to keep things light-hearted and humorous. Its strength is in its script since it is brimming with dry humor about our modern teens.
Yet, where this movie falls flat is in its insistance on staying true to Hollywood forulas and making a forgetable carbon-copy of so many other boy-meets-girl stories.
A good movie to watch on a date, but it won't stand the test of time.

Bought this as a gift off of a wish list. The person and their family really enjoy the movie
Great flick one question why the title?.......2007-03-28
I really don't have much to add because I agree with other revewers--this is a clever and witty movie (in fact most of the "teen" adaptations of classics are very good.) But why the title? It is not from Taming of the Shrew but seems to come from sonnet 141 which Kat's class has to paraphrase--what's the connection? Sonnet 141 "In faith I do not love thee with..." is a dense dense piece of work and I am still not sure what it is about. Can anyone offer an explanation of the title of the movie?

Throughout its phenomenal run, Friends demonstrated that familiarity doesn't always breed contempt. But isn't it nice that even after 10 years, we could still learn something new about these intimately observed characters? Tidbits revealed in the episode "The One Where the Stripper Cries": Ross (David Schwimmer) and Monica (Courtney Cox Arquette) used to entertain at family gatherings as Donny and Marie; ("Oh God, that's right," remembers Rachel. "I blocked that out.") and Chandler (Matthew Perry) kissed Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) at a college party in the 1980s.
See the
10 or more seasons club. |
The best was saved for "The Last One": At one time, Ross (David Schwimmer) pursued being a professional dancer ("Do you realize we almost made it 10 years without that coming up?," he remarks).
Friends' tenth season is all about life changes and closure. Monica and Chandler buy a house and make plans to adopt. Once New Age free spirit Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) gets married. Rachel is offered a job in Paris, prompting Ross to finally proclaim his love.

Two of Friends's most invaluable players are granted worthy send-offs. Janice (Maggie Wheeler) resurfaces as a prospective homebuyer in the house next door to Monica and Chandler in "The One Where Estelle Dies," and Central Perk fixture Gunther (James Michael Tyler) at last professes his adoration of Rachel in "The Last One." Christina Applegate makes a welcome return in "The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits" and Danny DeVito is the unlikely and very temperamental stripper in "The One Where the Stripper Cries."

Greg Kinnear is at his smarmy best as Ross's new girlfriend's Nobel-prize-winning ex-boyfriend in "The One with Ross' Grant." Dakota Fanning has a sweet scene with Joey (Matt LeBlanc) in "The One with Princess Consuela" and Anna Faris joins Paul Rudd (Phoebe's husband Mike, a.k.a. Crap Bag in "Princess Consuela") as a recurring cast member in "The One with the Birth Mother."
Friends' final season quickly recovers from the Joey-Rachel misstep to find its consistent and satisfying groove. As each Friend turns in their key to the apartment each had shared at one time or another over the past 10 years in "The Last One," could Friends end on a happier or more poignant note? This final addition to the Friends DVD library, too, rises to the momentous occasion with a more generous package of features, including a lengthy gag reel and reflections from the ensemble. --Donald Liebenson

Too Bad it's Over.......2007-06-21
Let me just say that it is so sad that the show ended. Believe it or not, this season was good for a last season. My favorites were "The One where Estelle Dies", "The One with Ross's tan", "The One where Rachel's sister baby-sits', and "The One Where Joey Speaks French." It is good but very emotional. B

My gf is an avid Friend's fan, as am I. Buying the collected season discs for her has been the best entertainment investment I've ever made, as she can watch each season's episodes in order, progressing thru all ten seasons & then start over at the beginning [by which time she's forgotten the jokes.] This series is probably the best product of the 1990's, and really stands up to repeated viewing. Enjoy!
Friends the Complete 10th Season.......2007-05-14
This is a GREAT addition to our collection of one of our favorite sitcoms ever!!!
Thanks for the wonderful deal!!
Wonderful!.......2007-04-05
I enjoyed this box set very much. I was unable to watch many of these episodes when they originally aired. Buying the box set allowed me to catch up on the final season. Some of the episodes are so funny, I have already rewatched them several times.
This is a perfect choice for the "Friends" lover.
Magnificent.......2007-03-20
friends has its great reputation already but this season is funny, in a different way, and romantic, in another different way. By the finale, you might shed a tear cuz you'll realize how close you were with friends for 10 years. Plus the happy endings for the gang, you'll miss them. And to you all viewers, I really wish that you and your close ones don't get apart.
