Let me remind you why you once feared the dark
Guillermo Del Toro has become the new master of dark fantasy — first with the quirky clockpunk “Hellboy,” then with the Oscar-winning “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Not to mention forthcoming travels to Middle-Earth.
So you know he has the skills to pit Mike Mignola’s scarlet anti-hero against an army of fairies and elves, and not make it silly. Instead, it’s a spectacular dark fantasy full of humor, action, quirky appeal, romance, and some truly astounding special effects. But what really shoves this movie over the top is Del Toro’s brilliant direction, and the stunning performance by Ron Perlman.
Decades ago, Professor Broom (William Hurt) told a small Hellboy a yuletide bedtime story about the Elf King Balor and his unstoppable Golden Army, and how the crown that controls the Army was split into thirds and divided among fairies and humans.
Well, you can’t really expect that kind of power to never be revived.
Cut to current day. Hellboy (Perlman), Liz (Selma Blair) and Abe (Doug Jones) investigate a strange supernatural attack on an auction house, where the archeological curiosity known as the Crown of Bethmoora was being sold — only to be attacked by savage tooth fairies. Turns out the crown was stolen by Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), a resentful young elf who is determined to take the world back from humanity — using, of course, the Golden Army.
And while Hellboy chafes against strict new commander Johann Krauss (a suit filled with ectoplasm), Abe encounters Nuada’s sister, Princess Nuala — who also happens to have the last third of the crown. But Nuada will not allow anyone to oppose him as he searches for the Golden Army’s location, and Hellboy and his friends must venture into a strange, ancient kingdom to stop him from destroying all of humanity.
The worst you can say about “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is that it sticks to the formula of the demonic outsider with a dark destiny, and his continuing romantic woes. There’s some retreading as Hellboy realizes anew that he’ll never fit into the world of humans, because he’s big and red and has horns and a tail. Okay, we got it. Next big psychological issue!
Fortunately those flaws are relatively minor ones. Del Toro is still able to spin a dark, twisted story with some truly bizarre creatures (the utterly alien, eye-winged Angel of Death), clockpunk robots, trippy underground goblin markets and a new BPRD agent who is basically ectoplasm in a suit. And for the action scenes, Del Toro does not pull punches when it comes to the smashing action scenes — giant thrashing vines and a one-on-one duel with Nuada are among the highlights.
With all this going on, it would be easy to neglect the characters. But Del Toro packs the script with solid snappy dialogue and some poignantly romantic moments — including some pretty startling actions from dear ol’ Abe. And he also adds little moments to this epic story that remind us that these are supposed to be people — such as Hellboy’s bickering with Krauss, or Abe and Hellboy getting drunk and having a little Manilow singalong together. It’s just so cute.
But what really sets this movie apart is the “children of the Earth.” No flitting Victorian sprites — these are creatures that are weird, grotesque, dangerous and immensely powerful, from nasty little tooth fairies up to vast rock monsters and plant gods. There’s an alien, bizarre aesthetic to these creatures that feels wholly real, as if Neil Gaiman casually dropped a few sketches onto the drawing board.
But as amazing as the visuals are, Del Toro never neglects the characters. Perlman is perfect for the role of “big Red” — he’s gruff, sarcastic, moody, but also endearing and self-deprecatingly likable. There are more hints of his potentially dark future, and he faces some delicately-handed temptations. But Big Red’s good heart is still very much in the forefront, no matter how much human beings fear him.
Blair gives a more lively performance here as a spunkier Liz, who also has some surprising developments in store. Jones is pitch-perfect as the fish-man, who experiences the first pangs of young love for Nuala, while Goss gives a chilling, whispery performance as a rebel prince who is willing to do whatever it takes — even kill family — if it helps him restore the fey kingdom. Pretty good villain, since he clearly isn’t trying to be bad.
There’s also loads of extras in this particular edition of the movie — feature commentary with director Guillermo Del Toro, Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair and Luke Goss, as well as some deleted scenes also with commentary with Del Toro, a prologue to the movie, a digital script, image gallery, a “Puppet Theatre” for the opening sequences of the film, concept art, interviews, and other such stuff. Also making-of documentaries — seven mini-documentaries that visit the set, the “Troll Market Tour” in the movie’s most memorable “faerie” setting, and the two-hour “Hellboy: In Service Of The Demon.” Basically, it turns the film inside-out and lets you examine its guts.
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is a wild, darkly ornate ride through the world of half-forgotten gods and fey. While it has a few flaws, those are far outweighed by the brilliant of Del Toro’s vision.
Hellboy II – Back And Better Than Ever!
You know you’re not watching a formulaic comic book film when one of the highlights is a drunken rendition of “Can’t Smile Without You” by Hellboy and Abe Sapien. “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is a more confident, assured outing than the first film and while it does not draw from Mignola’s comics for its plot it is perhaps better off for it, lacking the usual burden of comparison and expectations. “The Golden Army” is more fantastical than the first film and is less sci-fi oriented but this is the sort of thing Del Toro does exceptionally well as a writer. He never lets the fantasy become the focus of the film, instead concentrating on characters and delivering action scenes that can only be described as, forgive the crass immaturity, kickass.
As entertaining as many comic book-to-film adaptations are it is a rare event when one can call one of these films a true artistic achievement. I am convinced without a shadow of a doubt that Guillermo Del Toro’s entire career has been leading up to this film, particularly regarding his work as screenwriter here. The comedy feels less forced and is worked incredibly well into the script here, so much so that it doesn’t feel remotely unnatural when the scene of comic drunken singing leads directly without a break into one of the film’s most intensely dramatic sequences. Del Toro’s handling of character has never been better, not even with “The Devil’s Backbone”, which is still my favorite of his films, and his sheer skill and ability when it comes to telling a fairytale-esquire fantasy is astonishing, as proved in the prologue to this film. In short this is Del Toro at the top of his game and providing artistry the likes of which we rarely if ever see in summer blockbusters. It’s only fair that an astonishingly brilliant comic like “Hellboy” by an astonishingly brilliant artist like Mike Mignola is adapted this well and by someone as talented at what they do as he is.
How refreshing it is, a week after the release of “Hancock”, which to me epitomizes everything wrong with action film-making today, that we get “The Golden Army” which features hands down some of the finest action scenes we have ever seen in this sort of film. Just stunningly beautiful, well-shot, well-crafted, the sort of thing that leaves one wondering how much time and effort went into it and endlessly thankful that some really talented people went to the trouble of making the film.
The film is generally just superb on a technical level. Why am I even saying this? Of course it is. Danny Elfman composing, Guillermo Navarro serving as cinematographer, top-notch editors, fantastic special effects wizards. It’s a world-class crew that made this film. I shouldn’t be surprised at its quality but “The Golden Army” really just floored and astonished me with how good it is. The cast is also excellent, proving once again that you don’t need ‘big names’ to carry a movie. Just about everyone here is excellent, particularly Perlman with another excellent turn as Hellboy and the underrated Selma Blair as Liz Sherman.
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” provides essentially everything a Del Toro or Mignola fan would want. I imagine it will entertain and charm many outside those circles as well with its fantastic action sequences, engaging characters, and wonderful sense of humor. I would personally go as far as calling “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” one of the top five or so comic book movies ever made.
Give `em Hellboy!!
Fans of dark fantasy movies will definitely like this one. If you take Pan’s Labyrinth and add more creatures, and then give it an injection of humor, and sprinkle some Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, some Fantastic Four, and a little Lord of the Rings, and last of all let Neil Gaiman put the finishing touches, you’ll probably get Hellboy II or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Humans and mythical creatures are at it again
2. One crown rules an indestructible golden army
3. Uneasy lies the head that wants to wear the crown
4. All Hellboy breaks loose after a visit from the tooth fairies
5. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense sends a gasbag to lead the team into the bowels of New York City
6. Hellboy may be red and angry, but it’s Liz (Selma Blair) who’s the hottie
7. Big fights, big guns and big fun follows
8. `Twas beauty that tamed the beast
When the BPRD agents are called to take on the job of stopping rogue Prince Nuada (Luke Goss) they get a lot more than the main responsibilities listed on their job descriptions. Battling mythical creatures, disobeying direct orders, and generally tearing the place apart, our heroes never let a little adversity get them down on the way to a stellar showdown.
This is a fantasy, an adventure, a battle of good against not-so-good, and a love story, all rolled into one red hot package.
Rated: 4.5 stars

The Killer Babe Stomps on the Killer Blade on this Great South Korean Wuxia Swordplay Adventure!
During the Korean New wave, the country has come out with real phenomenal dramas, horror, and a few swordplay epics. Two of the more successful films of Korean epics are the terrific Period adventure film “Musa the Warrior” and the Wuxia Fantasy Epic “Bichunmoo”. There have also been other attempts to produce a Wuxia epic and most of them are either a hit or a miss. “Shadowless Sword” (aka. Muyeong Geom, retitled “Legend of Shadowless Sword”) is from Kim Yung-jun, the same director of “Bichunmoo”. This film fares a lot better when in regards to screenplay and action sequences compared to Kim`s first Wuxia film. The direction is much more coherent and solid this time. Action Junkies will certainly be entertained with this film, even though it was released 3 years ago in 2005 (despite New Line has invested in this film, it is now only getting a U.S. release?), the film still stands as one of the most entertaining Wuxia epics I’ve seen from South Korea.
10th century Korea, the Balhae Dynasty have all but fallen due to an invasion. Resistance fighters are hard pressed to find a new leader when all members of the Royal family have perished save one; Prince Jeong Hyeon (Seo Jin Lee). To avoid attention, a lone female warrior named Soha (Yoon So-yi, ARAHAN) is dispatched to find the Prince. Unbeknownst to her, the self-exiled Prince has become a dealer of used goods and have no intensions of returning to royalty. To make matters more complicated, the Killer Blade Army led by Gun Hwa-Pyeong (Hyeong Jun-Shin) with his second in command; lovely Mae (Ki-Yong Lee) is also on the trail of the Prince to assassinate him. Soha must convince the wayward prince just how important he is to her country’s fate, awaken his fighting skills and protect him from the Killer Blade army.
While “Bichunmoo” had a more intricate storyline, its script was almost impossible to follow. Kim Yung-jun’s second film has a larger budget and his directorial skills seems to have been honed. “Shadowless Sword” (I prefer to call it by its original title) has a simple storyline and is very predictable. No surprises can be had with this film, the film is actually a chase film; the two leads are being pursued all over while fighting their way back to Balhae. The usual formulas are omnipresent, Soha and Prince Jeong find each other; they bond and learn to care for each other with the usual twists in their past relationship. Its predictability may be somewhat disappointing if one is expecting a more complex script. However, the two leads are well-developed and the film’s pace and style is mesmerizing enough that the film is never dull and boring.
The film’s main draw and its greatest strength will have to its nicely executed swordplay and fight sequences. There are lots of nifty forest battles and a nicely shot underwater fight (although this may require a suspension of disbelief). The encounters between women-warriors Soha and Mae are truly exciting and quite enchanting. Their fights are beautifully shot, well-choreographed and intense. It was no accident that So-yi Yoon was cast as our female heroine after her performance in the action-fantasy “Arahan”. The actress is charismatic, agile and once again proves that she is capable in the film’s physical aspects. Lee Ki-Yong also proves a worthy rival, she is in every way Soha’s equal in martial arts skills. The film has a lot of fights and cool poses; even shurikens are thrown, high-flying Martial Arts are the film’s style of fighting and rivals those seen in some of the best Chinese Wuxia epics. I’ve noticed that Korean filmmakers have started to evolve their own ‘stylized’ blood splattering effects, this time with a lot of “explosive” attitude.
While Yoon So-yi and Lee Ki-yong does undoubtedly steal the show, the main villain, played by Hyeong Jun Shin (Bichunmoo) is an almost identical twin to the villain in “Gingko Bed”. I’m not sure, the actor does a decent job with his character overall, but something about the `eye-liner’ just turns me off. Gun Hwa-Pyeong is more than a one-dimensional villain, his goals and motives are actually one that can generate sympathy but I suppose there are men who can pull off `mascara’ and there are those who can’t. Seo jin Lee does keep the movie moving, his character’s devices to avoid his would-be protector and his assailants manages to add more depth to the film’s simple plot. Also, Prince Jeong’s change in attitude and his past does give some added `meat’ to its plot. The most underused character is Mae, her character has a lot of potential but she seemed underdeveloped. The woman is loyal to Kun but their relationship does leave the reasons to mere assumptions by the audience.
The film also has cleverly paced bits of satire in the first half as our two leads encounter a gang led by a character who looks like the Korean knock-off of “Captain Jack Sparrow” that made me crack up. The interlude where Soha and Prince Jeong encounter a band of bandits who look like `tribute’ characters to “House of Flying Daggers” is a nice touch. The film is focused in its direction and the set designs are also quite good. The costumes are elaborate enough to draw attention and yet, they don`t look too superficial.
A film like “Shadowless Sword” will either shine or fail with its promise of pure action entertainment and on this promise it didn`t falter. The film is loaded with highly stylized martial arts that would definitely more than make up for its faults. The movements are precise and graceful enough while maintaining its hard-hitting intensity. Many would compare it to “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” which would be unfair (personally, I wasn’t really that impressed with that movie). It`s a different film entirely and “Shadowless Sword” does stand on its own. If you want a lot of nicely shot stylized martial arts then this film will not disappoint.
“SHADOWLESS SWORD” is a substantial entry to Korea’s foray into Wuxia/Swordplay adventure. The film is definitely entertaining and enjoyable from beginning to end. The director’s cut clocks in at 2 hours, and the direction is to be commended that it feels like it was a mere 90 minutes. Its abundance in action sequences, bits of humor, eye-candy wirework, the film goes at a pace that exudes pure entertainment that I forgave the perfunctory romance and almost too melodramatic ending.
I’ve said before in my previous review and I’ll say it again: “It’s the Best South Korean Wuxia Swordplay Fantasy Adventure I’ve seen thus far!”…and I’ve seen them all.
Highly Recommended! [4 Stars]
An excellent Korean take on Chinese martial-arts films
“The Legend of the Shadowless Sword” would be considered among the greatest wuxia epics of our time but for one little detail: the world has already experienced the unspeakable brilliance of films like Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And make no mistake, this film is Korea’s attempt to duplicate the success of these modern classics both artistically and financially. The result is an almost-great film steeped in female empowerment, classic martial-arts philosophy, and Korean history that only missed classic status by a decade or so.
First off, let me say that the leading ladies of “Shadowless” are amazing. Yun So-i is brilliant as Soha, a female warrior tasked with bringing an exiled prince back home after an organization known as The Killer Blade Army murders the entirety of the royal family, leaving him as the only successor to the throne. Soha and the prince, Jeong-Heyon (played by Lee Seo-jin) who is also quite the fighter, are tracked and ambushed by the Killer Blades led by a seriously vamped-out lady killer. The confrontations between the opposing sword-wielding visions of beauty provide some seriously exciting duels that are on par with the best of the genre.
The heart of the story largely focuses on the classical myth/philosophy of Asian swordplay that each blade has within it an evil spirit that gathers strength as it drinks human blood. This spirit is said to be able to envelope and consume it’s user once it gathers enough strength through death and suffering. This is a fantastic metaphor for the effect taking a life has on a person’s being. What better way to kill one’s own soul than by slaughtering so many as to becomes altogether indifferent to suffering? This is the essence of evil. Soho’s philosophy -bequeathed to her at a young age by a passing hero- is that if the sword is taken up only to protect that which is precious and not to do harm that the shade within will gain no power from the act of killing. Thus, a righteous warrior has a shadowless sword.
The coolest thing about “Shadowless” is arguably the costumes. Every scene features some of the most visually interesting outfits and uniforms I’ve ever seen in this kind of film. Big thumbs up on that. The movie itself looks wonderful and very polished, though many of the scenes feel like retreads of previous wuxia films. There is an interesting underwater battle that could have been brilliant if not for the ridiculous sight of dozens of ninjas sailing over the river throwing hundreds of shurikens into the water for several minutes on end. How many of those things do they keep on them at one time anyways? There are some other over-the-top moments that may make one think of Fist of the North Star and the delayed explosions that resulted from the combat in that classic anime cheesefest. But timed detonations somehow make even less sense when they are inflicted by a sword. What, chopping a guy’s head off or bisecting him at the waist or even vertically isn’t good enough anymore? These are a few of the problems that keep “The Legend of the Shadowless Sword” out of the same league as the modern works of art it emulates. The love story is unconvincing after having seen the incredible beauty of House of Flying Daggers, and the fights -while highly entertaining- are simply not as good as those in “Crouching Tiger”.
In spite of it’s few flaws, I would qualify “The Legend of the Shadowless Sword” as a must-see for fans of martial-arts or Asian cinema in general. This one won’t enjoy the crossover appeal of the movies I name-checked earlier, but it should thoroughly satisfy fans of the wuxia genre. Not perfect, but worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats.
Why did they HAVE to change the name? (4 1/2 stars)
Seriously, I just want to know what marketing genius thought adding “The Legend of the” to the title would make it more appealing to the US audience (Drunken Master 2 becomes Legend of the Drunken Master). With the exception of Dragon Dynasty, the now defunct Tartan Asian Extreme, and few smaller companies, US DVD distributors love to toy with these films.
The description lists this film as being in 1.33/1 aspect ratio. Specialty sites have it listed as being in its original 2.35/1 ratio. Let’s hope they’re right. As of this writing, there is no running time listed. If it comes in at anything under 113 minutes, you’ve been had. US distributors like to try and get these films down to under 100 minutes. That is the magic number for our attention spans apparently. The bottom line is that if they keep the aspect ratio proper and don’t hack anything out of it, you’ll be in for a real treat. Here’s my review of the Korean import.
Shadowless Sword is another great entry from Korea, a country that has spent the new millennium really carving out their place in the asian film world. The story is basically just like King Ralph, except Peter O’ Toole has to protect John Goodman from assassins before he can get back to Buckingham Palace and install a bowling alley in the royal bedchamber. Ok, so it’s a little different than that. But it is an ‘escort the VIP’ movie.
SS is from the same director that gave us Bichunoo, another fantastic film. It has a great cast from films like “Guns and Talks” and “Arahan”. SS is a swordplay epic. For the laymen, it would be in the same vein of a Crouching Tiger or a Hero or House of Flying Daggers. Period piece, acrobatic wire-fu, lots of swordplay. And while it may not have the budget, star power, and exposure of the previously mentioned films, it can absolutely hold its own against them.
The acting is spot on. The story, while not anything new, is still very engaging. And the action is certainly well worth the watch. Although not quite as graceful as some of it’s HK counterparts, the wire work is creative and integrated well into the sequences. The visual approach is stylish without being over-the-top. And it does have a great score, too.
Fans of asian swordplay movies would be wise to give this one a look. It doesn’t have the depth of story and character that those looking for something more in the drama category are looking for. And while the action is great, it’s not wild and insane like a Kitamura movie or a Hark film, and certainly not as blood-filled. The action sequences would be considered reserved compared to how those guys work. So if you’re looking for a good, solid swordplay epic that is subtle and understated while being quite entertaining and action-oriented, this would be a fine choice.

It is very seldom that I collect to see the movie of this quality. It is absolutely shiny.
This is a sage of a original friendship formed between two very unlike characters: Queen Victoria and her servant Mr. Brown. As the narrative developed I was completely absorbed by the lives of these two people, as if I was actually fraction of it rather then watching the film.
Story is incredibly well told (though I do wish filmmakers were not in such a urge to kill it), cinematography is absolutely glorious and as far as the historical portion of the movie it was perfectly captured. And then there are actors keen in this movie.

I do not assume that my knowledge of English language will allow me to fully narrate great talent of Judi Dench, which by all means is unmatched by anyone alive today. Her performance was absolutely flawless. Academy should be ashamed for not awarding her with an Oscar and choosing Helen Hunt’s performance over hers. Not even a contest in my belief.
As astonishing as Judi Dench is I’m determined it is very hard to regain costars that will not be completely overshadowed by her. But Billy Connelly filled the cloak with his sparkling performance. Perfect chemistry between the two. And of course – Geoffrey Palmer who happens to be Judi’s long time costar from BBC’s “As Time Goes By” (which I contemplate is one of the best TV comedies of all time) . When you win so caught up in a movie that you forget it’s not a accurate life you know that actors are doing an astounding job.
This is an exceptionally well made film, a fair share of cinematography. And I assume it should be a fraction of any movie-lovers collection. It certainly is piece of mine.
That is the seek information from. Of course, when one thinks of Victoria, the plan of prudishness, conservatism, and a very reserved manner in action and morality naturally approach to mind. It was never modern for monarchs, male or female, to have lovers outside of their marriages (indeed, it might be considered modern for a monarch to have been opinion to have remained faithful), but Victoria? The epitome of a repressive, almost oppresive morality? Surely not.

Don’t be so clear.
Four years after the death of Prince Albert, to whom Victoria was completely devoted, and for whom she mourned in quite public and dramatic fashion, against the protests of her children and her ministers, John Brown, a favourite ghillie of the royal couple, was brought aid into service of the Queen household.
Victoria’s favouritism toward him, coupled with his contain brash and blunt behaviour, caused him to be envied and disliked by members of her family, her household service, her ministers, and largely by the public. There were parodies of John Brown’s activities, done up in the construct of mock Court Circulars (the official listing of royal engagements), which appeared in the press on both sides of the Atlantic.
It is unknown if Brown actually kept a diary (the movie speculates such, but also states that no diary was ever found) . There was a astronomical dismal trunk of correspondence found after Victoria’s death, between the Queen and her doctor at the time, Profeit, regarding John Brown. This came into the possession of her unique doctor, Reid, who recorded ‘most compromising’ secrets into his green memorandum book. Alas, this book was burned by Reid’s son, and the trunk was not found. Did it refer to a secret marriage between Victoria and John Brown, as was often speculated?
This is, in truth, unlikely — Victoria’s devotion to Albert never waned in her life, and there was a distinct innocence, lack of pretense and guile in Victoria that the more political and suspicious (particularly in the press) would not have known. Both Brown and Victoria were outraged at the rumours. Brown was a servant who build no stock in class divisions and the artificiality of social conventions — his familiarity with the Queen (in fact no different from his order and familiar manner of relating to everyone) was simply his manner.
But then, everyone likes a grand, juicy scandal, don’t they? So distinguished more enthralling than decades of mourning, which makes for rather dead news leaders.
The film takes up the yarn with Brown’s arrival at the royal dwelling on the Isle of Wight (an inaccuracy, as he was presented at Windsor first) . The myth is romantic yet reserved, and the cinematography is handsome. From the cloud-cast home on the Isle of Wight to the stately and foreboding Windsor scenes, to the unspoiled Highlands around Balmoral, this film has had mountainous care infused in the details of costume, setting, and atmosphere.
Judi Dench gives perhaps the greatest performance of her life as the Queen, showing steady emotion through the Victorian reserve in an admirable fashion (for which she was nominated for the Academy Award, and won the Golden Globe, as best actress) . In a really surprising casting, Billy Connolly, best known as a amusing, turns in a first class performance as John Brown, the brash Scotsman who becomes completely devoted to his Queen. Geoffrey Palmer, a solid actor known in many BBC productions, plays the Queen’s private secretary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, who is continually amazed at the liberties taken by Brown (Ponsonby, in reality, saw Brown as a first class servant, and remarked so frequently in correspondence with others) . This film was first proposed as a BBC television production, but ended up being so well performed and executed that it was transferred to become a cinematic release.
Given the high profile scandals of the royal family today, this tale seems almost terrorized. But, history does disclose itself, so one can never be entirely clear, until such time as the royal archives are opened to scholars, perhaps a few centuries from now, and the truth may be known to posterity.

Anyone who has bought the previous sets know what to quiz and for anyone who hasn’t all the boxes are always well done with the discs holding the episodes but not considerable more than that. The characterize and sound is sizable and it comes with a booklet with brief info on character’s (heroes and villains) and summaries of all the episodes. I also want to say that I like that funimationn has made all the sets the same layout so they lineup well on a shelf.
I Hope they release the ninth season earlier than May but who knows, whenever they do we’ll accept to search for the Fusion and Kid Buu sagas finishing up this series on DVD.
I’ve enjoyed rewatching these episodes that I remember so well despite not having seen them since they originally aired scheme wait on at the turn of the millenium. I obtain myself watching familiar moments and enjoying them in completely recent and different ways than I did as a youth. I’m distinct many relish this season since it’s getting us into the final saga’s and battles of DragonBall Z but I always found these sagas different for a reason that I’m impartial now view. Other than the thirteen originals that broadcast in the mid-nineties, that I actually remember watching, Dragon Ball hadn’t aired in North America so most of us were introduced to DBZ first. I got traditional to the prove being very science fiction oriented with the first few seasons of alien threats, set depart, killer androids and time disappear and then came this final bustle of Majin Buu, which was more about magic and crazy fighting techniques. After having seen the Dragon Ball series in it’s entirety now and looking at these episodes I delight in them more because I understand that Akira Toriyama had simply taken the series encourage to it’s roots for the final sagas. The novel Dragon Ball was all about crazy fighting styles and ridiculous moves and it had many elements of magic, for DBZ he had been influenced more by Sci-Fi in an attempt to change up the fable but here quick-witted he was bringing it to an raze he must have decided to purchase it attend to the earliest days.
Any fan of DBZ will earn these palatable, the final face off between Goku and Vegeta, Goten and Trunks learning Fusion, Goku transforming to SS3.

A Triumph of the Heart!
I first saw Love & Basketball at the premiere of the movie with all the stars. It was a special viewing where there was almost not a dry eye at the end of the film from tears of joy. I think you cannot get a better chemistry of on screen love then Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan. I guess the film was their destiny, because last I heard they were engaged to be married in real life. The film is simply a beautiful epic that combines a little bit of everthing from drama, comedy, action and romance. You not only care about the characters in this film, you actually see them grow up on screen.
Love & Basketball is definitely one of my all-time favorite films. It seemed so realistic as if it was a true story, and I myself being a USC graduate and former Trojan athlete from the area the film is set in can attest that the film is very realistic and true to the story being told. This film is about the true undying love of two things: the love of basketball which sees both characters in their pre-teen days on the basketball court to their days of both being professional basketball players in the hometown. It’s also about the true love between a man and a woman that had to evolve and elevate just like their basketball skills had to succeed. “All is fair in love and basketball”!
The DVD version of this film is a true treasure. I love every bit of it and it gives the viewer their money’s worth. The producers of this DVD out did their self with giving the view a whole complete vision of what they expressed on the screen. The two original documentaries: “The Rise Of Female Athletes” and “The Portrayal Of African-American Women By The American Media” are outstanding and really conveys the point of view the writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood experienced herself as a basketball player. Plus, the deleted scenes and bloopers, three feature length commentaries, storyboards, and music video of Lucy Pearl’s hit are a treat! One thing I truly loved as a screen writer was the whole screen play of the film on the DVD. This not only helped me understand the film more, but also helped me as a screen writer as well.
Love & Basketball is definitely a classic! I loved this film when I first saw it, and I still love it today, maybe even more because of the outstanding DVD version of it. This film makes you believe in the power of Love and Basketball!
SWISH!!! THIS MOVIE IS A WINNER…
I bought this DVD for my daughter who happens to play Division 1 college basketball. I didn’t know anything about it, other than it was a love story between two basketball players. When I watched the film, I was completely blown away by it. It is one terrific, quality movie. The director outdid herself, as did the actors, with strong performances from the entire cast.
It is, as the director suggests, a love story with basketball as a backdrop. Two kids, one boy, one girl, meet when the girl, Monica, moves next door to the boy, Quincy. They are about ten years old and both play basketball with a passion. They grow up together and both play basketball in high school. In their senior year, they realize that they are in love and they give themselves to each other, heart and soul.
They are fortunate enough to be recruited to play for the same college, but the contrast between their respective reception is telling. They both do their best and are passionate about basket ball and each other. There comes a time, however, when their love is tested, and they are pulled apart by forces which they lack the maturity to understand. What follows is a test of their love and commitment.
This is a beautifully told love story. The depth of passion that the two main characters have, both for basketball and for each other, is palpable throughout the entire film. The movie is engrossing at all times and is wonderfully directed.
The DVD itself has a plethora of features, including an absorbing documentary of successful women from all walks of life who have managed to break the glass ceiling. This is certainly a DVD well worth having.
Surprising & emotional, Love & Basketball definitely scores.
Quite surprisingly, the Spike Lee-produced released Love & Basketball is an excellent film. It may have a note of corniness during some scenes, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the best sleeper hits of 2000. The film’s drama is great and the romance has brilliant chemistry and all the elements stick nicely together thanks to the acting – particularly from amazing newcomer Sanaa Lathan – and Gina Price’s clean direction. The scenes I thought were particularly nail-biting were the basketball matches between the two lead characters, the final one-on-one is tense and unpredictable. Also seeing Monica’s (Lathan) thoughts when playing basketball was clever and original. All the characters have a good-bad side them, you relate to them, which make these similar but totally different (you’ll understand after viewing) creations the best about the film. Come to think of it, this movie shouldn’t have the title Love & Basketball. It should have the title Love, Basketball, Family, Gender Roles, Sex, Cheating… and so forth and so forth. This movie deals with so many things in such a great style that the viewer should know just how great its going to be so they don’t get literally blown away! A definite recommendation.

Let’s accept one thing straight, this is not a FF series for old-school Marvel fanboys; the kind who complain that an adaptation is cheesy if it is 100% faithful to the unusual material but go ballistic if they change anything from the amusing. I know you know who I’m talking about. This series is a current reinvention of the superheroes we know and admire and personally I enjoyed it. A lot.
The animation is certainly above average for a cartoon; it’s not exactly Pixar, but it’s far fine to the more broken-down Fabulous Four – The Complete Spirited Series with it’s execrable theme song. The view is a uniquely original mix of eastern and western styles with some nice CG, all of which may be off-putting to those who honest want an though-provoking version of a forty year-old silly book (that’s already been done…twice) but it works nonetheless. The series’ best attribute by far is it’s interesting sense of humor. For example, in one episode Dr. Doom manages to switch bodies with Reed Richards after imprisoning himself. Reed, in Doom’s fully armored body, escapes and hails a cab. As he sits down in the attend of the taxi, the driver eyes him for a second before commenting, “Hey, you’re that Iron Man guy, ain’t ya? “. Reed/Doom -rather than justify the insane situation- simply looks at him and responds, “Yes. Yes I am.”. Colossal stuff, but if the understanding of poking fun at classic comical characters is sacrilegious to you, skip this point to. Johnny Storm’s contaminated insistence that everyone call Annihilus “The Annihilator!” as if he was a professional wrestler won’t come by him any fans among the overly earnest Marvel stale guard of fandom. But his Doom impression is laugh-out-loud hilarious.
As with all Marvel absorbing series, this one’s got it’s fraction of guest stars including Iron Man, Ant Man, the Hulk (brand to self: don’t effect fun of his momma), The Sub-Mariner, and more so three cheers for that. The series is episodic so there are no continuous arcs to follow, each explain is a twenty itsy-bitsy legend paunchy of funny situations, icy action scenes, and novel interpretations of classic villains (the episode where the Skrulls disguise themselves as the FF’s neighbors and ask them bizarre questions about their powers/weaknesses is another fun one) . There are recurring characters and call-backs to previous episodes, but the stories themselves are self-contained. Nice and simple.
While the early 90′s titillating series was powerful more faithful to the laughable, the animation has not primitive well and the early episodes are nearly as cheesy at times as the unwatchable 60′s incarnation. It’s a friendly point to for fans of the funny that improved greatly as it went on, but there is a lot more to like about this incarnation if you can gain over the lack of faithfulness to the source material. This is the FF at their funnest.
Anybody who prefers the older version has probably repressed the memory of Johnny Storm rapping (“flame on and on and on…) .
I’m extremely contented that Marvel has given us this series and NOT based it on the films; and even more so that they have released a tubby season boxed situation. Distinct, they milked some of you with a few single-disc releases first, but for those of you (like me) who crossed their fingers and hoped, here it is: Season One of “Fabulous Four- World’s Greatest Heroes” complete with NINE unaired episodes, wintry featurettes and commentaries, and even an art gallery. Even the packaging is top notch. I am well-pleased with this spot. I rate it 4 1/2 stars rounded up for successfully taking on the very difficult task of reinventing one of the last generation’s flagship titles. Relish. Now, for the umpteenth time: Marvel, will you PLEASE release the 90′s X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Fabulous Hulk series’ in their entirety?! I know you don’t despise money so what gives?
If you’re a longtime fan of the Wonderful Four, it’s hard not to be judgmental when you first pick up a gawk of this expose. But if you can salvage past the retooled character and costume designs (for the FF and their villains), and Reed’s unruly mop of hair and Johnny’s anime-influenced spiky do, and that spray-painted “4″ on Ben’s chest – then you might derive that this is a elegant gracious captivating series. Or was, anyway, since it’s been canned already.
FANTASTIC FOUR: WORLD’S GREATEST HEROES debuted in September 2006 on the Cartoon Network. For the provocative ones, this happens to be the fourth television incarnation of Marvel’s first superhero family, succeeding the 1967, 1978 (with H.E.R.B.I.E. taking over for the Torch), and the 1994 versions. It’s the hippest and funniest TV adaptation yet.
The series captures the essence of these characters. I’ve always liked Reed Richards, but he’s never been the ideal leading man. Here, he seems to be younger but as typically bland and henpecked (thanks, Sue), although at times his personality channels the hipper Ultimate Reed Richards. Johnny Storm, patterned after the live action film’s version, has never been more brash and immature, but he grew on me, and there are many times when he landed me in the comic giggles. He and H.E.R.B.I.E. provide a lot of the humor. The ever-lovin’ Thing is calm a tragic monster, but big-hearted, as demonstrated in “Contest of Champions.” Johnny’s older sis, Susan, consistently plays the role of the grown-up in the team and makes a formidable second-in-command. I’m delighted that H.E.R.B.I.E. is encourage in the mix. This time H.E.R.B.I.E. is the self-aware computer system which Reed constructs to serve accelerate the Baxter Building. I dig how persistently gratified and neurotic this original incarnation of H.E.R.B.I.E. is.
The mythos and spirit of the FF are well translated onto the shroud. The sci-fi backdrop. Reed’s futuristic gadgets. The classic and complex supervillains. The FF’s constant family bickerings and infighting. As per norm, Reed’s powerhouse intellect and scientific curiosity dictate that the team, besides holding down that saving the world gig, also acts as part-time explorers. As such, the foursome frequently demolish up in unusual environments, whether it’s the Microverse, the Negative Zone, on a different planet, or even in an alternate timeline. The Extraordinary Four have always been adventurers on an record scale. Mining from the FF mythos, quite a few of the episodes here are inspired by classic FF stories from the amusing book (the FF getting evicted, Reed and Doom trading bodies, the Baxter Building being launched into situation, the coming of Terminus, etc.) .
The scattershot TV scheduling never gave the prove a chance to accomplish a right following. In my case, the sporadic airing left me lukewarm and even feeling significant of the episodes, and of the changes effected. But, now, having honest seen the entire speed on this box plot, I’ve approach around 180. After right viewing, the continuity and cohesiveness of the indicate are more readily discerned, despite that the stories tended to be episodic. Past events are recalled in later episodes. Torch’s anxiety of water is revisited a number of times. The Baxter Building tenants have recurring appearances.
As done by the French-based animation house, Moonscoop, the animation is crazy bananas – a icy, fairly serene integration of 2D and CG, and rendered with lush and shining colors. Everything looks large – the FF certainly, but also the revamped classic villains. And the background details are comely stuff! The city landscape, for example, is impressively depicted time and again. The “Annihilate” episode, in particular, showcases some radiant visuals. And, the stuff’s presented in anamorphic widescreen. Also, I don’t want to leave out the episode title cards, which struck me as frosty and titillating visuals. The theme song, however, is dang conventional.
Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes: The Complete First Season, in four discs, collects all 26 episodes, quite a few of which never got a chance to be aired. This terrific looking box area offers these bonus features: audio commentaries by Head Writer Chris Yost and Exec Producer Craig Kyle on 3 episodes: “My Neighbor Was A Skrull,” “Contest of Champions,” and “Scavenger Hunt”; “From Origin to Animation” (18 minutes long) tracks the FF’s plan and evolution and includes an interview with Stan Lee; “Rise of the Rogues” (9 minutes) covers the FF’s classic villains (again, with Stan Lee) ; “Traveling to Current Dimensions” focuses on the animation work and features interviews with the Moonscoop crew; four art galleries, including one showcasing some classic FF droll book covers; and even a dinky comical book reprinting Ultimate Amazing Four #1.
The surface tweaks might be disconcerting at first, but, trust me, unprejudiced roll with them. You’ll gain that this is the quintessential Astounding Four. The same dysfunctional team, the same family of superheroes. Ben’s self-loathing as a monster, Ben and Johnny’s non-stop teasing and pranking, the classic supervillains, all these bring a retro feel to the indicate, hearkening wait on to when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were doing the honors on the World’s Greatest Magazine. And, really, when was the Extraordinary Four franchise ever better than when those two old-fashioned coots were running it?
- Episode 1 – “Doomsday” – Dissension fractures the team as the media accuses Reed of having deliberately exposed Sue, Ben, and Johnny to cosmic rays on their fateful place mission.

Over the years, it seems that the Robin Hood saga has been a well-liked of sorts for film makers to re-invent, manipulate, and showcase again and again. No doubt due to global appeal and the premise of a hero taking from the rich, giving to the bad, and fighting the excellent fight.
Of all the Robin Hood films ever produced, it’s readily apparent that Prince of Thieves relies less on fine historical accuracy and leans more toward Hollywood flair which smooth makes for an keen film. Despite using no English accent (which appears to grate on some reviewers for some reason), Kevin Costner presents himself well in the role of Robin Hood. Coupled with glorious performances from Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, (to name honest a few), the account moves at an enthralling skedaddle and hits the note as a stand up adventure movie that doesn’t disappoint.
As for the fresh 2 disc special edition release of this movie, it fair got a whole lot better. Not having to flip the disc over any more to peer the entire feature like in the first release, you now have a novel digital transfer and a remastered DTS 5.1 soundtrack and both are outstanding. On disc 2 you have broad bonus material enhancing the value and enjoyment even further. Included is a decent documentary on the making of Prince of Thieves, Bryan Adams performing his music video of ‘(Everything I do) I do it for you’, an interactive mediaeval weapons gallery, cast and crew bios, production notes, interviews with cast and crew, and trailers and t.v. spots.

You don’t really have to be a die-hard Robin Hood fan to like this movie. The film has a few flaws and stretches the historical aspect somewhat but it plays out well with plenty of action, adventure, humor, and fun. This special edition release would be a sterling addition to any DVD collection and I recommend it to everyone.
I was at [local store] one day and saw the extended Robin Hood DVD on sale. I decided to prefer it. I conception that I liked all the swordplay, action, fantasy tales. I have to relate you. It was a expansive grasp! It was only [$$] for such a sizable extended movie.
Plot – Our celebrated Robin Hood is in a Jerusalem prison. He escapes with a moor, Azeem (Morgan Freeman), and his friend, Peter. Peter doesn’t accomplish it, but wants Robin to promise that he will protect his sister, Marion. Robin agrees and finds his plot home with Azeem. They stare Robin’s father insensible and their servant blinded. The Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman, who is perfect in the role) killed Robin’s father and is doing infamous deeds to the awful people in the station. Robin and Azeem slay up in Sherwood Forest and meet its occupants, including John Petite and Will Scarlett. They all team up and resolve to fight support against the Sheriff. (94/100)
Acting – A lot of people abhor how Kevin Costner speaks in this movie. I really didn’t spy a change in his order at all. So it didn’t really bother me! I conception Kevin did well as Robin. Christian Slater and Alan Rickman were the two who stole the movie. Christian was tall as the mysterious and confusing Will Scarlett. Alan Rickman was hilarious and defective as the Sheriff. They both were tall and should have deserved huge credit for their positions. Also, there is a short cameo by Sean Connery. (96/100)

Action and Violence – There is a lot of action and violence in this movie. It could have been rated R. There is a lot of swordplay, arrows being fired into faces, fist fights, and blood. I deem any action man would like this movie. Principal Action Scenes : Overrun By Celts, Fiery Assault, Cheating The Hangman, Storming The Castle, and Final Duel. To check out these scenes, bewitch the DVD and access them through Scene Selection. (95/100)
Sexual Themes – There are some sexual themes in this anecdote. There is a scene where Marion is about to be raped from the Sheriff. Also, Robin swims around nude under a waterfall. So there is some sexual tell. I don’t really contemplate it was needed though. (89/100)
The Two Discs and The Extended Version – The extended version is very pleasant. It explains a lot more about the Sheriff. There is also some action achieve into some places. It is worth the money.
The extended version comes with two discs. Thankfully, you didn’t have to “turn the disc over” to search for the “whole” movie. So I was overjoyed that I could unbiased see the whole feature film on one disc. The other discs are loaded with extras. There is commentaries, documentaries, making of features, galleries, trailers, and more.

Extended Version (98/100) The Two Discs (94/100)
Overall, this movie is very well done. It is very top-notch and worth the money to hold. Don’t net the unusual disc. It isn’t worth it! Honest grasp this. It has tons of action, romance, some comedy, shapely sets and landscapes, and unbiased an all around gargantuan feel to it.
Overall – 94 A
The extended version is supposedly UNRATED.
UNRATED for strong violence, action, sexual themes, and brief strong language.
