Inside the Afghanistan War

Missing so much information
Essentially what this movie does is give a very quick and brief over view of some major battles that have taken place over the course of the Afghan war. It does such a poor job of taking you "inside" the war and what has been going on over the last decade. For example, it briefly goes over the story of what happened to Marcus Luttrell and his unit during Operation Redwing, but doesn't even mention them by name or the name of the operation. That was a pretty significant event and this movie talked about it for a very brief 2 minutes. They did a very poor job covering Operation Anaconda as well as other very large and important battles that have taken place. Had I not already read and watched so many other good pieces on the war, I wouldn't have learned a whole lot from this just because its so poorly put together. If you really want to learn more about what this war check out the following books etc. Most of these stories and a lot of people/authors were covered in this movie but it...

a good insight
this is one of the best documentaries i have seen on the war in Afghanistan, no holds barred as near to the enemy as you would want to be, National Geographic are masters at producing edge of your seat truthful and informing programmes, i would recommend this DvD to anybody interested in knowing how the war in Afghanistan has evolved over the last ten years.

Disappointing--lacking depth
I wanted to like this Nat'l Geographic special on the Afghan War but it was disappointing. The interviews with the soldiers are just awesome and you feel so amazed at their bravery & service. But the video gives the viewer virtually no background information on the history of Afghanistan the country, and how many times it has been invaded by outside forces (the British, the Russians and now the US), all of which have failed. I also wanted to know more about the Taliban and the structure of the tribal society of the country but none of that was really covered in the video. NGH normally does great documentaries, but I would not recommend this DVD to anyone based on what it leaves out--not what it includes which is well done.

My Classic Car: Season 16

nice selection of classics
I have watched Dennis Gage for years off and on and this is a nice show to catch some cool cars and their owners

Good content and presentation. Very informational for someone interested in restoring and maintaining a car. Would like to see more specifics on restoration.

Love Dennis Gage
Glad to see this show is finally available! So much good stuff on classic cars and restorations. Dennis Gage is a great and I love getting a glimpse at Jay Leno's car collections.

Queen - Mercury Rising

Another great DVD on the legendary Queen
I've been on a Queen binge now for the last few months. I can't believe that I never heard one of their songs on the radio until 1981. They are truly the most underrated band in rock history. This DVD provided some background info that I hadn't heard before, so that alone makes it worth the purchase for me. Their concert DVDs are extraordinary, especially the concerts in Budapest (excellent sound and video), Montreal, Wembley, and Live Aid.

queen-mercury rising
liked it a lot because there are not many dvd's that zero in on Freddie mercury. it is a short documentary. I have seen some of the clips of this on other dvd's. I think days of our lives and Freddie mercury-the great pretender were better and went into more depth. bottom line is, I do not think anyone will ever truly know Freddie except for the roger, brian, john, and mary.

Freddie Mercury
I loved it. Freddie Mercury is the greatest front man in the history of music. Queen still lives on and will forever. RIP Freddie.

Protect Your Memory With Dr Neal Barnard

Excellent
As a medical professional I appreciate the summary of good research that back up his conclusions. For all of us concerned about our aging brains this gives us something to do to prevent the loss of brain functioning.

Vital information
I first saw this presentation on TV, then decided to order it and have since shared it with our children. Lifestyle changes that are based on facts are worth the effort. I've proved that some time ago, so appreciate this information.

Critical reading
We all are aware of how fragile our minds are and if we don't take care of them, we are letting in the elements that can/will cause our minds to begin to fail, rapidly. This is an excellent book along with Dr. Daniel Amen's books.

Ultrachrist!

Toothless "satire"
A "Jesus" with a whiny Brooklyn accent arrives nude in New York City (a'la "The Terminator") and has trouble getting his message to today's youth. So he puts on a spandex superhero costume and fights Jim Morrison, Dracula, Hitler and a guy in a Richard Nixon rubber mask. Then he changes the commandments to encourage casual sex to gain converts.

Let me state that I am far from religious and love a good satire, like "Election" or "American Psycho". This is too dumb and scatological to be satire. The video and audio (especially) are sub-porno quality. If you ARE deeply religious you may be offended, otherwise you will be very bored. Check out "The Life of Brian" for a religious satire with bite.

Let's Throw Sin A Curve ...
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's ...ULTRACHRIST!

Flipping religion on its head, Ultrachrist seeks to enlighten the follies of following scripture to the letter by returning Christ to Earth 2,000 years after his death. Oh! And he's come back to usher in peace for all mankind. The trouble is that he's completely out of touch with modern society. As soon as Christ returns to Earth (ala The Terminator style), he realizes many things have changed: clothes, personal philosophy, neon signs, and, oy!, religion.

Christ (Jonathan C. Green) gets a crash course in what the world wants by first bellying up to a bar with a drunken man and discovering what's become of humanity. Discouraged but not deterred, he soon runs into Molly (Celia A. Montgomery), a young seamstress who falls for Jesus and decides to help him regain his ministry on Earth. She makes him a superhero spandex costume and poof!, the Ultrachrist is born. Running around New York in his new...

Get Ready for a Whole New CHRIST
This movie is amazing. I saw it at the Philidelphia Video Festival last year. Jesus comes back to fight sin in the twenty-first century and encounters a world much different then the way he left it 2000 years ago. Watch him fight the greatest sinners of all time: Richard Nixon, Adolf Hitler, Vlad the Impaler and Jim Morrison.

Magic Valley

Extremely morose.
Slow, depressing and morbid. This is not a movie that provides introspection, illuminates, or uplifts. Quite the opposite. An "art film?" Perhaps. I give it a big "Who Cares."

"Magic Valley"
Very good story and great acting by Scott Glenn. Good sound and editing. A bit slow but Magic Valley was the first feature film by this director. I believe Jaffe Zinn also did the script for this film and the budget was miminal. Story should be seen by teen agers to view the danger that can be realized by the "choking game" which I understand is quite common in teen agers.

Depressing waste of time, film and talent
What a depressing, poorly filmed, poorly acted and directed film. Quality at all levels was worse than a home-movie shock-factor done by strung-out kids who don't understand drama, timing, plot, tension, or even the basics of how to tell a story.

Restraint, Control & Come-A-Long Techniques: Effective Arrest & Control Techniques for Law Enforcement and Security Professionals Volume 2

An Excellent Supplement to Your Martial Arts Training!
Restraint, Control and Come-A-Long Techniques Vol. 2 is an excellent instructional DVD! It does just take up where volumn 1 left off, but adds even more great tips and inside instruction that many other DVD's don't include such as how to spin a person and autogenic breathing techniques. It is obvious that this instructor is a teacher, a true martial arts instructor. This DVD includes a thumb grab goose neck technique, split finger goose neck lock, fingers behind the back hold, over the top chicken wing lock, a four corner throw, figure four lock, how to roll over someone once you have control, and even covers pressure points. Put together with Vol. 1, this is an excellent way to supplement your training and learn the correct way to use these techniques.

This DVD is very well-shot and easy to learn from. Mr. Burrese walks you through each technique, step by step, giving you clear and easy-to-understand instructions. His presentation is wonderful, clear and easy to follow...

5 Star Winner for Burrese
Burrese has already produced a very successful series of instructional DVDs. His newest two volume set entitled, Restraint, Control & Come-A-Long Techniques is another 5 star winner. Burrese covers relevant principles for the application of the expertly demonstrated and described techniques. He presents them at full speed and in slower and up close instruction so that details of the techniques can be clearly seen, grasped and learned by the viewer. Burrese also stresses repetition practices with a partner and multiple partners so that the execution of the techniques can be utilized instinctively with surprise, speed and technical accuracy. Lastly, he emphasizes the necessity of physical conditioning, mental preparation, situational awareness, self control and the use of breathing exercises as a method to keeping your cool. I highly recommend this two volume set without hesitation.

John Fennessy
Master Instructor
Oregon Hapkido

Good stuff
Burrese has a done great job presenting his go-to techniques for law enforcement and security professionals. What makes his techniques especially valuable is that he has used them repeatedly over his years working doors, body guarding, and stadium security.

The presentation is organized nicely and presented clearly, with lots of examples as to how to apply the techniques in a variety of situations. As always, Burreese's explanations are clear and informative as to how to ensure the techniques work for you, as well as how to modify them a little when the situation requires it.

I think the material is especially valuable to the many types of security professionals. For law enforcement officers, my only quibble is that some of the techniques - not all - would require an additional move to position the hands for handcuffing.

I've been teaching defensive tactics to cops and security people since 1973. I think Alain Burrese has done a wonderful job in this...

Blood And Lace [ VHS Retro Style] 1971

Superb quality release of this rare shocker!
My review pertains specifically to the "VHS Retro Style" DVD release on MOD (DVD-R) from Amazon.com.

Despite the "VHS Retro" heading (which might imply poor quality), this is actually a major studio quality transfer. The film is completely uncut, and is letterboxed at 1:85-1. Although it is listed as being 16X9, I had to use the zoom feature to fill my widescreen TV's screen. The compositions still looked correct, and I recommend using the zoom feature if you have a 16X9 widescreen TV or monitor.

The film has never been previously released in the US on commercial home video, not even on VHS, so this release is most welcome! The color is the best I've seen for this film since it played theatrically in the early 1970's.

Suffice it to say that this is a Freudian exercise in horror, set in a home for troubled youth. Unfortunately, the home's caretakers are much more troubled than the wayward teenagers, leading to chilling events. Melody Patterson...

Young and Innocent

A very nice early Hitchcock
A young writer laughs at the murder charge against him because he knows he's innocent. We know he's innocent, too. A very nice early Hitchcock. Hitch fans who look for him putting himself in the scene will spot him as a bystander holding a camera outside the courtroom door.

The Fast and the Furious (Blu-ray + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)

A very entertaining action/thriller
Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) rules the streets with his "team" in the world of illegal street races. Running a luncheonette and a garage, Dominic makes money to pay for the mortgage on his house, and keep his sister (Jordana Brewster) in school, but that money alone is not enough so he resorts to the illegal ways to keep the cash flowing. Vowing to kill himself before returning to prison, Dominic stays one step ahead of the police until he meets Brian (Paul Walker), an undercover cop investigating a series of bizarre truck heists.

The FBI believe Dominic and his crew are behind the robberies, and it's Brian's job to find enough evidence against, but putting together the case against this crew will prove to be difficult because Brian becomes friends with Dominic and starts to understand his difficult life, and at the same time he is falling in love with his sister. To make matters worse, Dominics rival Johnny Tran drops in to settle some old scores, and the list of suspects in the...

FAST, FURIOUS, and entertaining
Look. I know that most who've seen this movie (especially the teeenage boys) will automatically tell you "Yea man! It rocked! It's the best movie ever!"

Personally, I'm a tunerhead. I love suped up cars, and the whole street racing scene. I can't say how this movie can relate to the real midnight street racers, but I'm sure it's been Hollywooded up enough to go overboard a little.

But, I was expecting to see terrible acting, a bad script, a bad plot, but cool cars. In reality, the acting is very well done. The script isn't corny, the plot is entertaining, and, well...the cars speak for themselves. (Vin Diesel's Mazda RX7 in the movie just went up for bid on Ebay!) This movie, whether you're into cars, or not, is a must-see. My friends who get bored even when I mention cars and racing still loved the movie for its other aspects. I thought it was awesome, but, hey, to each his own. Why don't you go and see it to check it out?

Gets off the starting line, but falls short of finish line
THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS is a movie with an assortment of far-fetched ingerdients that combine to make up a far-fetched plot. It offers beautiful cars and obnoxious characters who combine for some impressive racing / getaway / highway-jacking scenes.

In the end, however, there is one genuinely worthwhile reason to see this movie: Vin Diesel. This is the first movie I've seen him in and I was quite taken with his acting style. He has an exceptional screen-presence, especially for a relative newcomer to the acting guild. The jury is still out on whether Diesel can play more than just a tough-guy, but even if he can't, he still plays that role very well. I'm looking forward to seeing him in TRIPLE-X.

Beyond Diesel's theatrical performance, the film does not offer a whole lot. The "hero" of the movie is a cop who is less likeable than the "villain" (played by Diesel). He also non-chalantly breaks the #1 rule in a policeman's code-of-conduct: never EVER...

The Blue Planet: Seas of Life [Blu-ray]

Don't miss this one!
There isn't a moment in these four DVD's that won't have you gazing in wonder and admiration at the effort and amazing footage captured in this series. Of all the DVD's I own, and that is no small number I assure you, this entire set never sits long enough to get more than a days worth of dust on it. I often watch an episode as I linger in bed waiting for sleep to overtake me. Equally as often, I have to switch it off so I can get sleep--it is that unendingly fascinating. No matter how many times I've watched it, the presentation and simply astounding events they have captured in this series always manage to keep my attention. To even try and relate what the hours of footage reveal would only do it an injustice. I won't even try and I'm sure others could describe it better than I. Let me say this, if you have never seen Blue Planet then you have been sorely missing out. It most certainly contains footage of the marine world that cannot be seen anywhere else. Not merely a few minutes...

Unbelievably Beautiful.
There are many reasons to own this wonderful series on DVD, but one reason stands out: The Killer Whale/Seal Pup segment of the "Coasts" DVD. The Amazon.com main reviewer mentioned this scene in his review - and with good reason. It is THE most amazing piece of wildlife footage EVER captured on film - even surpassing the National Geographic special with the Great White Sharks breaching.

If you need more reasons than that, the "Ocean World" DVD contains unbelievable footage of Sir David in a skiff right above a Blue Whale (the largest creature ever to have lived) along with a stirring segment about an orca pod pursuing a gray whale and her calf.

All of my friends - who are decidely NOT nature buffs like me -were left speechless after seeing some of the segments in this set (particularly the aforementioned ones).

The Life of Mammals DVD set by Attenborough is also terrific.

Awesome and Beautiful
I first saw Blue Planet on the Discovery channel... years ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. It is one of the most beautifully filmed documentaries and I think only Planet Earth (ironically) surpasses it in that beauty. I have also always loved David Attenborough, who has a way of really bringing the majesty of whatever you are watching into your home. This series is educational and beautiful to the point of tears. This is a must for any DVD library and I would highly recommend Planet Earth as well.

Son Of Paleface (HD Mastered) 1952

Movie is great, Amazon copy process is terrible.
As Amazon makes (copies) these DVDs on demand, their usual high quality of products is lacking. The audio and video tracks aren't synchronized - as the mouths move, but the words don't match. Extremely difficult to watch the movie. Returned first DVD for replacement, but the second one was the same. Returned that one for a refund. Will look to purchase an original, not a copy.

Silly, but fun
My husband and I like the old movies. This was a fun movie to watch with Bob Hope doing his usual comedy between the lines.

Jane Russell was made by this picture. More than THE OUTLAW
It holds up today and it is one of Bob Hope's better pictures. Roy Rogers is in this one too. One of the few movies he appears in without being a western that features him. It was one of Jane Russell's first feature films, this one and THE PALEFACE.

Not Suitable For Children [HD]

Reproductive Sex
Diagnosed with testicular cancer, a weekend-party-arranger stops to play for fun but desperate for a female willing a kid with him to produce as clocks ticked for his surgery.

Personal revelations follow such quest for fulfilling a time-sensitive goal.

It seems, this work, unwittingly, is a good parody on talking of family values and sex-as-pure-reproduction only. Accurate lovemaking-scenes add to run of a screening enriched with swearing and sexism.

Much sweeter than I expected
I thought this would be a very raunchy movie, but it turned out to have more more heart than you would think. Some people might find it slow, but I find that slower indie movies are much more realistic and easier to relate to. I will mention that it might offend some people's sensibilities. Obviously there's sex - an mildly extended blowjob scene, and some tastefully done full on sex scenes in the middle. Obviously premarital sex and babies, and treating reproduction as a business arrangement. Lastly they throw in some cocaine, which I found rather jarring and unnecessary. Still, funny movie with a core that I think a lot of people can relate to.

Okay until the ending
Overall, I liked this movie. It dealt with the polar opposite of what most movies about "baby fever" are focused on. This time it's about a guy who finds out he won't be able to have children and suddenly, he finds himself questioning what he wants out of life.

There were some very predictable parts, but that's to be expected with a movie that's meant to be a rom-com. The character development of Jonah was good through the movie. Like another reviewer stated, there were times that the movie seemed to be slow, but when dealing with the subject matter - it made sense for more "showing" versus telling to happen.

My biggest complaint was the ending. It felt unfinished. Even just a small snippet of Jonah and Stevie in the not-so-distant future would have made it feel complete. Had there been a true conclusion/finale, I would've given it 4 stars.

Tracy Anderson: Teen Meta

Not just for teens
This video comes with three different Muscular Structure sequences with a band. It also comes with 2 cardio components. I really like the backdrop of teen meta. It's so much more colorful than Metamorphosis. If you think this video is just for teens your wrong. This workout really worked my arms, legs, abs and even the cardio was pretty tough. The cardio is not as tough as Meta cardio but its a lot more fun. There is a change in music from the original Meta. It's more upbeat. I loved working out with the bands. I actually liked the Teen Meta better than the original Metamorphosis. It is definitely worth the buy even if your not a teen. The first cardio component is twenty minutes and has Tracy jumping around for twenty minutes. It's better than Meta because she step touches at times and the music makes it all more bearable. The second cardio component I have not completed because I am still learning the dance moves. She has the teens with her learning the dance steps. I...

Great TAM workout for non-teens, too!
Like the previous reviewer, I'm not a teen, but I bought this since I wanted to work my way into doing Glutecentric Metamorphosis, and thought that it would be a good transition into the longer commitment that Glutecentric requires. This is a great introduction to Tracy Anderson's muscular structure work, and you can use it regardless of your age.

The set comes with four DVDs and a band that you use for the workouts.

The cardio workout has two parts: a 20-minute segment that is just Tracy doing some freestyle dance moves, and a 10-minute segment with Tracy and one of the Tracy Anderson Method (TAM) trainers Maria doing the dance with an inner-city dance troupe. The idea is to combine both segments so that you're doing a 30-minute workout. If you've been frustrated with the lack of cueing in some of Tracy's other dance DVDs, you might like this one better since this one moves a lot more slowly and Tracy breaks things down more.

The three muscular...

Teen Meta Tracy Anderson
I was thinking about getting the Tracy Anderson method but thought it was too much money for a few discs. So when I saw the Teen Meta, I thought it would be perfect. Cheap price and it works all over the body. I had to stop so many times with this since there are so many repetitions. After doing this a few times, I am already seeing definition in my legs and I am noticing a difference in how my jeans fit.

This is a great way to get fit and tone without bulking up. Now, I must say that her Dance Cardio that is included in this is much simpler than the ones for her Metamorphosis for adults. I could not follow along with those if I tried (saw them on youtube). I am not a teen and this is the perfect workout for me, and there is no workout schedule, which I find to be good since I can rotate this in with my other workout dvds.

She does not talk at all the workouts, but if you look at the screen every now and then you will pick up on what she is doing quickly, and be...

Robot and Frank

Well worth 89 minutes of your day spending time with Robot & Frank...Langella
I looked up yesterday at my AA in-flight movie and saw that they were screening 'Robot & Frank.' I immediately began buttonholing my seatmates: "This is a really good movie." I had the good fortune of catching it during its August 2012 big screen debut and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We sought it out for two reasons. First, my wife and I love Frank Langella. [Pro tip: Check out the vastly underrated Starting Out In The Evening.]

Second, I'd caught Mr. Langella talking most informatively about the film - and about his career on stage and screen - in an interview with Fresh Air's Dave Davies. The best part: when asked why he chose to participate in the film, Langella told a fascinating story about getting sent the script, liking it, but feeling it didn't fully depict the challenges facing a man in his eighth decade. He said that he asked for a meeting with director Jake Schreier and writer...

Bitter-sweet family drama, character study and buddy movie all at once
I saw the movie "Robot & Frank" in the theatre here in Cincinnati in early September. It's taken quite a long time for the DVD release to get listed on Amazon, but here we are finally.

"Robot & Frank" (2012 release, 89 min.) brings the story, set in upstate NY "in the near future" of Frank (played by Frank Langella) who is an ex-con (a "cat burglar" as Frank puts it) in the latter stage of his life when his memory fails him at times. Living alone has become a challenge and one day Frank's son buys him a robot who can be a do-it-all butler for Frank. Then a strange thing happens: after initially resisting the robot as much as possible, Frank discovers he actually likes the robot's help and, even more important, its companionship. Soon thereafter, Frank concots a plan to commit one last heist, with the help of the robot. At that point we are not even half-way into the movie, and to reveal more would certainly ruin your viewing experience. You'll just have to see for yourself...

HUMANITY IN THE MACHINE
Frank Langella is an actor whose talents are rarely noted it seems. Some folks don't even know who you're talking about when his name is mentioned and that's a shame. Those of us old enough to remember will think of him as Dracula. A younger generation might consider him Nixon. The thing is he's been around turning out great performances for years and doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. His latest out on DVD proves that.

In ROBOT & FRANK Langella stars as Frank, an ex-jewel thief in the near future when things are changing as they always do. A cantankerous sort, Frank has been left by his kids to fend for himself away from family. They still try to make his life as comfortable as possible but at the same time have little to do with him. Case in point is the new item Frank's son Hunter (James Marsden) has brought to him.

To make sure that he's taken care of Hunter has just purchased a robot to be Frank's companion and caretaker. The robot has numerous...

The Suckers/The Love Garden

Trashtastic Double Feature release from my new favorite company VINEGAR SYNDROME
My favorite genre queen of exploitation is the smoking hot Barbara Mills. Her sex scenes look like she's having some real steaminess with her enjoyment. First off I have the SWV dvd-r of Love Garden and this transfer blows it away. I had never seen The Suckers before and I absolutely loved it. The acting in both films is quite good. There is a lengthy believable rape scene in The Suckers that may offend some so be aware of that if that decides your purchase. Overall this is a high reccommend for fans of trash cinema. I will continue to support this company as they seem to be releasing films that Something Weird Video/Image Entertainment could never release.

Alright!
I applaud Vinegar Syndrome for releasing films that no one else would touch and I also appreciate that most of them are 70's explotation and sexploitation films. It's like I'm reliving my teenage years all over again. They take the utmost care in the films' restorations and always show the films in their actual theatrical ratio. They may be the new kid on the block, but they are a welcome addition to old fogies like me!

Get this "roughie" to see Laurie Rose
Almost 40 years ago, I took my date to a drive-in to see some forgettable artsy foreign costume period piece whose title escapes me. When "The Suckers" appeared on the screen, I assumed it was a preview, but it in fact went on for an entire reel. Wrong movie or not, it was actually kind of interesting, so I was disappointed when it was followed by the second reel of the costume drama. My date and I, seemingly the only people in the place to notice the incongruity, suffered through the rest of the scheduled flick.

So ever since, I've hoped "The Suckers" would appear on VHS or DVD so I could find out what happened. I found a trailer for it from Something Weird Video, but imdb.com didn't list the movie, and several inside sources stated confidently that it had been forever lost.

From seeing the trailer, I am quite sure that my date would have been horrified had "The Suckers" continued past the first reel. It is a fine example of what was called, in those days before...

The Kitchen [HD]

Entertaining, with a few surprising scenes!
You will feel like a part of the ensemble cast, including a number of quirkly and sometimes, laugh-out-loud characters that may remind you of a few people you know!

I DO wish they had left out use of the tobacco drug; absolutely NO reason to have smoking in this movie! Other than that, I was surprised to see one of the sexual scenes (though nothing explicit shown, rather bold!) which was included in this type of film.

Not for kids, but teens and older should find something to talk about in, "The Kitchen."

Loved it!!!!!
Loved it! Great cast and music. Funny and fast moving. Definitely worth the watch. Sit back and enjoy. Highly recommend.

Crowd pleaser with a character driven ride driving it
REally enjoyed the film. The ride we take centered around where every party ends up, the kitchen, is nothing less than entertaining. Laura Prepon is warm and delighting as is the cast that hangs out with her. Laugh out loud moments, tender moments, revelations for all ---- well worth watching with your date.

Horrible quality
Is this a bootleg?

The quality is SO bad I'm suspicious of the other review.

STAY AWAY unless you like to throw away your money.

OUTSTANDING MOVIE,
I have been waiting for this for years seen it on VHS and love it the first time I seen it...Great acting and story line. Its more of a Women's Prison movie then Horror.But any Horror fan would love this movie....

Just one thing the DVD Does not play on a regular DVD player so I had to watch it on my computer Yukk It might be that I don't have a blue ray player otherwise it was worth the money .... I read about by other reviews that this might be a bootleg. I thought the quality was very good..

Enjoy this great film....

another great release by amazon
Country singer Rachel (Haynes) is arrested and charged with murder and placed in prison. Psychiatric sessions are run by the sadistic Dr. Kline, whose idea of mental health is to erase the patient's personality and completely replace it with a new one through brainwashing.
Human Experiments is less than the sum of its rather promising parts. That said, it does deserve more than to be one of the few totally unavailable Video Nasties.
Although passed uncut for cinema by the u.k. BBFC the uncertified video appeared briefly on the UK list of video nasties in 1984. To date it has never been released since.not in the uk anyway..
the amazon vhs retro collection is a great idea and were seeing some realy hard or unavailable stuff being released,even the retro covers are hard to find these days
so what you actually get is an official release of human experiments (dvd-r format)

Confessions From The Grassy Knoll: The Shocking Truth

Reassessment of the Assassination of President Kennedy
This documentary has good production values. The images are sharp and clear. The narration is at an even pitch and pace and highly consistent throughout the film.

I own several other film documentaries regarding President Kennedy's murder, investigation, and the aftermath. Instead of merely telling the audience about agents who were present at the Kennedy autopsy, this documentary interviews one of them, Agent Sibert (Ret.). The retired agent is quite peeved that neither he nor his partner were called as witnesses by the Warren Commission, and that staff attorney Arlen Specter chose to term their famous report of the post mortem, "mistaken."

There is a good interview of LtCol Daniel Marvin of US Army Special Forces who was contacted by the CIA through one its agents to take the contract to kill LtCmdr William Pitzer, the US Navy officer who filmed the autopsy and took photos of the entire proceeding, including the spectator gallery during the Kennedy...

after LHO had died.Comdr.Pitzer who had copies of the film taken at the autopsy was put on a CIA hit list and later died very

I guess that the title is true in one respect because there is confessions from the grassy knoll, but they come from people involved with the mafia, F.B.I. agents, C.I.A., historical footage of the assassination and the time leading up to the event, and after.

There is some of James Files confession, which was proven by Zack Shelton (a retired F.B.I. Special Agent) to be correct in full, and also evidence by forensic experts, medical people and authors.

This dvd brings forth more evidence on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, so it deserves five stars for being up-front with the evidence. I would like to get a dvd with the full confession of James Files, as I have never heard it in full.

I am in the same opinion as Richard Stilling (retired F.B.I. Special Agent),...

Stevie Nicks: Through the Looking Glass

A decent overview of Stevie's career
"Stevie Nicks ~ Through The Looking Glass" is a surprisingly well done documentary on the career of Stevie Nicks. It covers the years 1966 until 2013. Along the way a ton of vintage video clips, interviews and performances, and photos are shown. New interviews are done with producer Keith Olsen, Rick Vito, Ken Caillet and a few others. Stevie herself is shown in archive interview footage. For the most part this is a good overview of her career, if you're a long time fan you won't learn anything new really, but it's a worth a look. It's two hours long, but the first hour alone covers the albums "Buckingham Nicks" thru "Tusk" (1973-1979). The next 55mins cover "Bella Donna" thru "Street Angel" (1981-1994) and the last five minutes brings us up to day very quickly. It's done better than expected and the vintage footage (most of which is probably out on YouTube) is a plus.

Skip it
I've been a Stevie fan for 34 years, so trust me when I say that I'm one of those rabid fans who buys every and all things
'Mac. While there were some pics and clips I hadn't seen before, a lot of it was recycled interview segments. Recent interviews were not with Stevie and were flat. It covered a great deal of her work with the band, but very little of her solo work and completely glazed over the last ten years.

Save your money. It's pretty bad when this rabid fan starts to fall asleep during the viewing of this DVD.

Cute, Quaint Documentary
Being a Stevie collector since 1986, there is not much more to learn or see. But, this is a great add for the collection with lots of interviews both from Stevie but mostly about her from Producers, Critics, and Rick Vito. It was nice to have Rick Vito there as someone whos actually created and performed along side Stevie. Nice selection of photos and concert clips made the 2 hours fly by. Definitely for those who are collector's already, but for newbies I would suggest the book "Read Between my Lines" or watch VH1 Behind the Music as they are much more in depth. Enjoyed it though!
