Customer Reviews:
Looks like it is just repackaged from the 4 volumes earlier this year.
I looked at this set in the store today and it really appears as if the contents actually are the 4 Ultimate Collectors Volumes inside this case with Craig’s Casino Royale along side. And by the contents being the 4 Volumes, literally, it looks like they are inside this black box.
I opted for the Ulimate Collector’s Bundle for $179, instead of this, since I purchased Casino Royale when it was released, and I am really just looking for all the previous movies from Connery to Brosnan in the remastered 2-disc versions.
Also of note, if you want all the Bond films- you have to order Never Say Never Again as a separate item, that is not part of the MGM/UA library.
Great content, awful packaging
Yes, it’s all 21 movies with 21 bonus discs. All that’s phenomenal. But the packaging is awful. That gorgeous box in the picture? It’s the flimsiest fold-and-assemble cardboard out there. Inside, the movies are not presented in chronological order. Instead it’s vol. 1-4 of the Ultimate Edition, stuck in this flimsy box. They’re all thin-line cases with the liner notes stacked to the side in the box. You can’t put them in the individual cases with their respective movies. Sure, you could buy 20 blank cases, but then it wouldn’t fit in the box they gave you. Now all that’s for the first twenty. Then stuck on the end, is the normal 2-DVD package of Casino Royale. It’s added on like an after-thought.
This is great product, but with the absolute cheapest way of presenting the material imaginable. It’s in no way comparable in quality to the Star Trek ten movie set. Truly, all they did was stick the old, hodge-podge Ultimate Edition sets and the Casino Royale two disc in a flimsy box.
CHEAP.
I’m okay with it because I got lucky and bought in on the $95.99 release day 24-hour super sale (which goes to show you just how much they’re marked up). If I’d paid over $200 for this, I’d be livid.
With all that said, the movies themselves look great – digitally remastered, etc. Again, great content, very amatuer presentation.
Region 1 is Shortchanged Again
I am deducting 1 star because the packaging is not worthy of the ultimate James Bond set.
While Europe and parts of Asia get the stunning attache case box set, the US and Canada get only a cardboard box. OK. A shiny cardboard box.
Inclusion of Casino Royale, notwitstanding.
Are you listening, MGM?

Ok story line, revealing sex scenes
This film is in a foreign language and I couldn’t figure out which one. But it does have English subtitles.
It is a pretty heavy soft core porn, with a decent story line for that genre of movies.
It is much more revealing then a US soft core porn, and the sex scenes are obviously not faked like the US versions.
Brutal
I really enjoyed this movie, despite the fact that i said I would never watch another movie filmed backwards after seeing memento. It is slow in the first few minutes, but picks up right in the next scene in the club. While figuring out what is going on, the dialogue is really fun. There is a horrid rape scene in the middle of the film that seems to go on forever. If you cant stand that kind of thing, do not see the movie, period. It isn’t something you can fast forward through or shut your eyes during, it is an intergral part of the plot. Happy watching.

good start
This looks like a good start to a series with some potential.
To the guy that said it looks like a pilot…duh. It’s the first episode.
And Scifi (Syfy now) is putting out Stargate Universe this year, and Caprica, so there is your Stargate and Battlestar Galactica.
Looking forward to a new episode of Warehouse 13 though. Should be a great freak of the week show.
X-Files Meets Ghostbuster (Nice Show)
I will not cover so much on individual plots. Basically, it’s a nice show to watch to pass time. Fans of X-files can watch it to re-live the guy-lady agent partnership investigating paranormal occurrence. This time round, they are working under the cover of the Secret Service. What they are hunting for are not aliens but more of artifacts own by people triggering the occurrence.
All the artifacts are kept in a magnetic ziplog bag to be de-sanitised (the ghostbuster part) and ultimately store in the warehouse. Watching this show, one can’t help feeling that the writers are trying hard re-live through the old memories of past achievements by great Americans. Of course it’s a little peppered with other artifacts own other cultures and nations. But somehow, their fates are intimately tied to the United States. So its like a nostalgic ride on history.
On another positive note, it does raise the hopes to viewers that who know; you may have specialized on something and become someone great on day. For that matter, some intimate items you possess may capture your energy and aspiration, becoming an artifact with special powers for potential Warehouse 13 storage.
Overall, I give it a 3 stars for being a entertaining nice show. In terms of originality for paranormal, I think the X-Files still tops.

Bring it on! Great start to a sci-fi/mystery series. I hope they let their hair down.

Watch Mulan II Movie Online.
Movie Title: Mulan II Mulan II is available for streaming or downloading. |
I’m so excited! I Fancy the fresh Mulan, and I was hoping this would be half as respectable as the first. It wasn’t even that.

First of all, the music is terrible and the animation lacks the romance, vision, and journey of the recent. The unusual team worked hard with their concepts, which was sure. Whoever made made this…did not.
Second, the teach talent was severely lacking this time around. Even the characters who ended up with the same insist actors sounded a bit flat. Like the actors were rushed or as if they honest didn’t really care.

Third, everyone seemed out of character! Not objective their speech patterns, but in some cases their movements, manner, and ENTIRE PERSONALITIES were objective…severely diminished or entirely changed. These are not the characters I fell in worship with! At all!
Fourth, everything was disgustingly predictable. Gee…Mulan’s three male friends are looking for wives and unprejudiced HAPPEN to wait on guard the three pleasing princesses? Golly…WHAT WILL HAPPEN? DUH. Can we say formula-written? The whole fable was honest…disappointing and derivative.
Fifth, I found it insulting to extinct Chinese culture. Unbiased because our unusual Western culture does not reflect highly of or participate in arranged marriage doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, or that it wasn’t celebrated THERE. In fact, it is aloof widely practiced in many countries, and you know what? It often works out! It was a allotment of peoples culture, calm IS a share of peoples culture, and ISN’T foul. I found this movies’ villifying of arranged marriage and all who participate in it to be very insulting and typical “our USA procedure is the BEST draw and the ONLY blueprint, and everything else is Imperfect”. I hope they never showed this movie over in China, or else I’ll be very embarassed for the USA.
Sixth…ugh, nevermind. I don’t even want to mediate about this terrible movie anymore. They should have left the Mulan series as a single movie – the one that retold the modern epic. But, being Disney, they impartial HAD to add a crappy sequel and capitalize on the astonishing modern movie.
The only reason this got 2 stars instead of one? Although the scene at the bridge has been done a million times over and is NOT recent at all, it was well-done. Brought a hobble to my survey, I admit. But it was a cheaply gained sail, because I’ve seen the same scene in 92752375 different movies.
DO NOT study this movie if you adore the current and don’t want your vision of it injurious. This movie is crap.
The record of Mulan II begins with Mulan thinking about marrying General Shang… which upsets one of Mulan’s spirit guides (Mushu) so mighty that he decides to sabotage their relationship. Mushu is tremulous that he will be demoted if Mulan goes through with her plans to marry General Shang, because tradition calls for the wife’s spirit guides to lose their pedestals in the household shrine at the time of marriage, meaning that they would then be subordinated to the husband’s ancestors. The yarn moves aid to Mulan and Shang, who are asked by the Emperor to provide ample passage for the Emperor’s three daughters across China, so that they can be married to three princes in order to bring peace to China. Mulan and Shang disappear with three trusted soldiers, who descend in worship with the princesses in their care… as Mushu begins his plans to demolish Mulan and Shang up. Mulan II is beefy of jokes, songs, and an indispensable message about following your heart. My popular fraction of the film was one of the opening scenes, in which Mulan describes the importance of yin and yang in a stunning song and dance number. This is a fun family movie, with sharp special features, too.

A Moving Search for Acceptance
“Clandestinos!”
A Moving Search for Acceptance
Amos Lassen
“Clandestinos” from TLA Releasing is about young men in pursuit of acceptance as they chase their dreams. Joel is looking for a girlfriend; he wants a nice girl who likes bad boys, Driss is a Moroccan who is avoiding deportation and Xabi is a male hustler and aspiring terrorist. The three are incarcerated in a Spanish juvenile prison. They manage to break out and become involved in the Basque separatist movement. Politics and gay love come together in this melodrama and as we go inside the heads of the three boys, we end up with a pleasurable viewing experience.
Xabi knows little more than the criminal lifestyle. He has been in reform schools and prisons since he was a child and once when he was out and on the streets, he met and fell in love with
Inaki, a Basque separatist who instructs him about the nature of revolution. Xabi, hungry for love and acceptance, listened and hung onto every word. When the boys escape from prison, they find their way to Madrid in search of Xabi’s lover. Xabi meets a “john”, steals his gun and then breaks into the apartment that he and his lover shared. He sets up a small factory to build bombs and go head on into the fight for separatism for the nation of Basques. In this way he can fulfill his terrorist aspirations and perhaps win his lover back. Inaki, however, is always one step away and out of contact and Xabi is convinced that the man is testing him to do something big to prove his love for him and his loyalty for the Basque cause. There is a glitch in the plan however. Driss and
Joel meet girls and settle down somewhat. They realize what is going on with Xabi and call the police.
The film provides some wonderful eye candy (the shower scene in the prison, for example) but more than anything else it tells us about the desire for acceptance and what might be done to achieve it. The cast is excellent and Israel Rodriguez as Xabi is a special treat. This is not your regular film fare but it is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time because it deals with what so many of us yearn for. These guys just chose alternative and, for Xabi, dangerous ways to find it.
Adolescent Naivete
Interestingly, there are three story lines in this movie. Each character representing a potential fleeting phase of growing up.
one is a free spirit, one is a don juan, one is confused soul looking to impress his first love. Two of the characters are straight one is gay; all test boundries, the law, and what they feel is passion.
Honestly many of the scenarios are a stretch of the imagination….the transition/link from one plot to the other is poorly demonstrated.
Clandestions
What an absoluted wonderful film. All the actors should be very proud of their work. a lot of beautiful young men (** israel rodriguez **eye candy galore) making a very human story. this is one of the best i have seen, on par with Gargon Stupide from france, and much better than most of the films from the US. this is one you must have for your collection.
