Production Notes


Great movie. Pure medievil fantasy. Must have watched this a dozen times now.  Rutger Hauer had a stretch of movies in the mid-80s (Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, The Hitcher, Wanted : Dead Or Alive) where I thought he was the coolest actor. The quality of his movies seemed to have tailed off once the 90's rolled around but for that particular era he was one of the best.

Michelle Pfeiffer never looked more gorgeous than she did in this movie. Matthew Broderick was rather pedestrian this time around, looking like the goofy kid he's portrayed in so many other movies, this time in peasant garb. Always a sucker for a love story with a twist.

I been wanting to check this one out for a while now. I must say... I enjoyed it quite a bit. It kept my interest from the start. It has a good story and likable characters. I know this is a remake of an older film... and I have heard that it isn't really that similar... but I must admit... despite that I am curious about the original after seeing this one. If for no other reason then to see just how much it differs. This is worth checking out if you haven't yet.

The Office: Season One, a review by addicted2dvd

The Office: Season One (2005/United States) Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Daily Show) stars in The Office, a fresh and funny mockumentary-style glimpse into the daily interactions of the eccentric workers at the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Based on the smash-hit British series of the same name and adapted for American Television by Greg Daniels (King of the Hill, The Simpsons), this fast-paced comedy parodies contemporary American water-cooler culture. Earnest but clueless regional manager Michael Scott (Carell) believes himself to be an exceptional boss and mentor, but actually receives more eye-rolls than respect from his oddball staff. Entertainment Weekly calls The Office "smart and trenchant", and all six hilarious season one episodes are available here on DVD for the first time. The awkward silences in The Office will have you laughing out loud! Episodes: 1. Pilot 2. Diversity Day 3. Health Care 4. The Alliance 5. Basketball 6. Hot Girl

This is the first time I ever seen an episode of The Office. What is my first impression of the series. Not bad... but it really didn't impress me all that much. I found it to be a little on the stupid side. But there was some laughs in it for me as well. Of course, I realize that what with it having only 6 episodes in the first season... it really didn't have the chance to hit it's stride yet. And I did hear it got better in the second season. My favorite character in the series so far would have to be the receptionist... Pam. The nice girl with a jerk of a boyfriend. Anyway... like I said... the show really didn't impress me too much going by this first season. I would say it is somewhere between an average and good series.
