My Thoughts: After recently watching the new "The Amazing Spider-Man", I feared that the old one wouldn't hold up for me anymore. But I still enjoyed it just as much as I did in the past. Finally I also have a better picture quality. The DVD wasn't that great in this regard.Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on July 8th, 2012) The Three Stooges Collection: 1934-1936, a review by AntaresThe Three Stooges Collection: 1934-1936 Year: 1934 Film Studio: Columbia Pictures Genre: Comedy, Classic Length: 340 Min. Stars Moe Howard (1897) as Moe Larry Fine (1902) as Larry Curly Howard (1903) as Curly ReviewThe Three Stooges Collection: Volume One - 1934-1936Woman Haters, which was completely done in song and barely resembles anything familiar to most fans. It was in their second feature, Punch DrunksHoi Polloi, Pardon My Scotch, Disorder in the Court and Three Little Beers are just a few of the classics that Sony has painstakingly re-mastered for this release. For years, fans have had to deal with DVD versions culled from the public domain or copied from VHS transfers, each of which were loaded with grain, splits and damage. Now, for the first time since their original film releases, they can be viewed in the almost pristine presentation that greeted moviegoers during the Depression. I urge anyone who loves the Stooges to rush out and buy this DVD set. Review Criterion 5 Stars - The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence. (From The Three Stooges Collection: 1934-1936 on May 2nd, 2010) "Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 4 Sight Unseen Synopsis: After SG-1 has brought a device to Earth that was presumably build by the Ancients, Jonas starts to see weird insects. At first no one knows what to make of it but then others begin to see them, too. It even spreads among the normal population.My Opinion: I liked the fact that it wasn't something they brought back but that these creatures have always been here - we just can't perceive them. The gas station guy was also funny and I liked the insects they've invented. Smoke & Mirrors Synopsis: Jack assassinates Senator Kinsey. At least it looks like it. While Jack is in prison, SG-1 tries to find out what really happened and they get help from the NID.My Opinion: As I previously mentioned, nearly every storyline gets picked up again and is continued in SG-1. This time they re-used the holographic devices from Foothold. I especially liked the way Teal'c interrogated the scientist. I also thought it to be a good thing that they portreyed the NID from a different POV, that they aren't just a heinous gang that stops at nothing. Paradise Lost Synopsis: In exchange for a Stargate address and a device that can open an Ancients weapons locker, Maybourne gets a presidential pardon. He also has another trump card that allows him to accompany SG-1. But he played with marked cards and he transports himself and Jack to a remote place. Unfortunately he doesn't find what he had hoped for.My Opinion: Finally a decent Jack episode again. I haven't noticed it before but it struck me during this marathon: Richard Dean Anderson had astonishingly few screen time during this season. In one episode he made no appearance at all (Nightwalkers) in others he has very few scenes (especially but not exclusively in the last two episodes). But Jack and Maybourne were once again fun to watch, both have their way to survive in the wilderness. And once again it's Jack who is seperated from his team and has to survive on a remote planet for several weeks. He has the same talent as Daniel who falls for power. Metamorphosis Synopsis: The russian SG team brings a man to the SGC. He and his people are experimented on by Nirrti. SG-1 feels morally obligated to stop her but they get caught in the experiment.My Opinion: She got what she deserved. The fact that she has been killed by her own victims bears a certain poetic justice. But I am more interested in what the writers had in mind when they mentioned that Jonas's DNA is different. I can't remember if this has ever been revealed. (From "Stargate SG-1" Marathon on April 12th, 2008) |
