"An Incredible DVD Adventure"

Some movies are good; some are great; and some are incredible! Disney's "The Incredibles" is an incredible movie experience. It isn't just the vocal talent, or the Pixar animation, or the brilliance of Brad Bird's direction. It is the combination of all these elements.

And on the DVD you get extra's galore such as a "Jack-Jack" adventure, and an alternate opening sequence, and deleted scenes, plus much, much more. And best of all you get the full impact of the movie itself that is breath-taking in its scope and delivery. It is funny and it is thrilling. It is romantic and it is amazing. It is every adjective you can think of and then some.

Just imagine seeing a movie that features Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter and Samuel L Jackson. And this one does, or at least it features their voices. And the match to the characters is a perfect fit.

Race out and get your copy now for this is truly one of the events of the year. It is good, no it is great, no it is INCREDIBLE!!!!

At this year's Academy Awards when Chris Rock poked fun at Jude Law it was because of movies like "Alfie." This remake of the old Michael Caine film is just a mess. Law never comes close to capturing the surly attitude the character should have, and he never makes him totally unlikable as Caine did.

This movie which is now on DVD also features such fine actresses as Susan Sarandon, Jane Krakowski, Sienna Miller and Marisa Tomei. All of them are wasted in the movie and even the extras that appear on the DVD can't make it worth watching

When people ask, "What's it all about, Alfie?" The answer is nothing, absolutely nothing. At least as far as this Jude Law version is concerned.

Henry ("ET") Thomas and Patrick Fugit star in the supernatural thriller "Dead Birds." This is one creepy movie and has more than its share of chills and thrills. It involves a gang of crooks who are in the run. They take refuge in a deserted house and soon the evil nature of that house and what happened there in the past begins to exert itself.

Don't watch this one alone, and don't watch it in the dead of night. It is just too creepy to do that, unless you want the full impact of the horror. And maybe you do. Anyway the title is "Dead Birds." That alone should tell you something about it.

"Lightning In A Bottle" is a concert film that features the biggest names in blues. In this movie you get performances by BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Macy Gray, Robert Cray and many, many more. These people all came together on February 7, 2003 and made music, music, music.

This video captures the sounds and the effects of this concert. It also shares the magic of the night. So if you are a fan of the blues then you will ant to get this DVD to keep forever.
