King & Queen of Moonlight Bay (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In all honesty I purchased this dvd because it was cheap and had the sexy Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) in it. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it turned out to be a heart-warming film. The performances were excellent and it had a nice look to it. There are no extras and it only comes in full-screen (it was a made-for-tv movie) but it was entertaining enough to watch. I'm glad I bought it.

All this may change -- or may not -- when Al is visited by Alison Kristen Bell his long-estranged teenaged daughter.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The people who slammed this kids' film were, guess what? bitter adult Star Wars fans who have refused to recognize the saga has moved onto the next generation. This is not a continuation of the live-action films, it is a computer animated interpretation of Tartakovsky's Clone Wars animated series, hence the super stylized faces and character designs. It's a great way to get young children, like my nephew who has never seen a Star Wars movie interested in the idea. Face it people, this is a kids' show and always will be. If you want the darker, more realistic side of the saga, wait for the live-action TV series to come. Relax, and enjoy the lighter side of Star Wars once in a while.

Star Wars: Clone Wars, Vol. 1 (Microseries) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky of Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack fame, this series of 20, 3 minute shorts was created to bridge the gap in story between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars prequels. This is vol. 1 of a 2 vol. series; the second will be in a slightly different format (15 minute episodes) and will animate the opening scrawling text of Episode 3. These shorts, though brief, are a lot closer to what the fans have expected out of the prequel films but haven't gotten. There is a lot of action and the characters, for the most part, are much better realized than in the films. In fact, there is more character development in just the one 4 second scene between Anakin and Amadala in this series then there is in the entire second Star Wars prequel. Lucas gave Tartakovsky reign to tell original stories for this series and he has chosen to focus on the various Jedi and their skills, something the films generally lack. Once again, we learn more about Mace Windu and the entire order of the Jedi through these 3-minute shorts than we do in the hours of Prequel footage released so far. What's really nice about this DVD is that the shorts have been edited into one 69-minute feature that helps keep the story much tighter than when they aired on the cartoon network, broken up into 3-minute chunks. The extras are nice as well, though just as short as the original cartoons were. All in all, between this volume and the next currently in production, I think these cartoons will eventually find their way to becoming part of the Star Wars film series and not just a diversion from it.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I watched this DVD today and laughed as much or more as the first time I saw this show on Adult Swim. This DVD has a number of features to recommend it:
- Two hours of extra features, including deleted scenes, commentary, animation meeting, panel presentations, alternate audio and more.
- Terrific presentation of the original show. It even sounds as though the music to dialogue level has been adjusted on the "Empire On Ice" sketch so that the hilarious lyrics to the songs are much more audible and clear than they were when originally shown on TV.
At less than $10, this DVD is absolutely worth it. A great entertainment value for the price. Even the blurbs on the back of the DVD case are entertaining.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars - Episode II (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Second verse, same as the first!"
Yes, it's the return of the "Robot Chicken: Star Wars"! It's full of thrill, spills, chills, and maybe a little bit of love. (aw)
SEE: AT-AT races on Hoth!
SEE: A stormtrooper's version of Take Your Daughter to Work Day!
SEE: Jar Jar Binks pitching insurance!
SEE: Boba Fett being a total jerk!
SEE: The Emperor getting a haircut!
NOW with extra footage not seen on TV!
SEE: The notorious Q-wing!
SEE: Yoda and Obi-Wan's long-lost musical number!
SEE: The Endor holocaust brought to life on your screen!
SEE: Dengar's customized spaceship!
In every way surpassing the original "Robot Chicken: Star Wars", this one brings you everything you've come to expect from one of the most hilarious and bizarre programs on TV! Yes, it's the kind of hyperbolic insanity you can find only here, on this DVD! Well, and on [Adult Swim].
In addition to the program itself, there's a whole raft of extra features, including multiple commentary tracks, deleted scenes, trailers, bumps and oodles of other nonsense!
It's one heck of a show, and only someone with a midicolorian count in the negative numbers would... would...
Ah, hell, I can't keep this up. It's a good disc. If you liked the first, you'll like this. Buy and enjoy! I certainly did. :)

Robot Chicken: Star Wars 2 brazenly combines the satirical sensibilities of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich's (Stoopid Monkey Productions) Robot Chicken with the unforgettable moments and favorite characters of the Star Wars universeamong them, its creator himself, George Lucas. Transformed into the stop-motion animated characters that are the hallmark of Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, and in conjunction with ShadowMachine Films (Alex Bulkley/Corey Campodonico), the Star Wars galaxy takes on an entirely different attitude.

Stargate Universe Sgu: Complete First Season (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This series is a one of a kind show with spectacular graphics. It's more grown up than the 2 Series before it, and brings the Stargate Lore to the forefront. The show gets better and better up until the end, and leaves you on the edge of your seat wanting more. I recommend this to any Stargate fan!

Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I was a kid I love watching Spaceballs and other movies made by Mel Brooks. When I heard a lot about the animated series I was excited. But first I get the chance to watch Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures. Watching this brings back a lot of memories, even though it's a lot different between the animation and the original movie. I even watch it with my family and it made them bring back memories. Plus it's great to hear Mel Brooks is lending his voice along with Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers. So if you're a longtime fan of Mel Brooks and Spaceballs, ignore the negative reviews and pick up a copy today.
And one last message to all the longtime Spaceballs fans: May the schwartz be with you!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - A Galaxy Divided (TV Series Season 1, Vol. 1) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The announcement of this bare bones, single disc has caused quite a stir in some fan communities..and apparently here on Amazon as well.
Here's the skinny: At the bottom of the press release for this single DVD, Lucasfilm clearly states a box set for Season 1 (with extras) is in the works, including Blu Ray. I have to give them credit for at least telling us up front that this DVD is not intended for the people that will want the whole season. Although I am not sure who the intended consumer is for this, I guess almost an hour and a half for $14 is enough to keep the little ones quiet in the back seat of the SUV and make it so you don't have to worry about losing a disc from your box set.
For releasing a no frills single DVD: 1/5
For content: 3.5/5
For telling me to wait a few months for a season box set: 5/5

The "Clone Wars" goes back to the original Star Wars film when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he was once a Jedi knight the same as your father and that they fought together in the Clone Wars. Since that moment fans have been obsessed with what the clone wars were. This new TV series takes place immediately after the events of Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker and introduces us to some new characters such as Ahsoka Tano a girl Jedi knight as well as characters we already know.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As if volume 1 containing four episodes wasn't a big enough insult to fans, now comes vol. 2 with only four more episodes. These episodes aren't even in anamorphic widescreen! Do not waste your money on this release; wait for the full season 1 box set which will probably be out for the holiday season this year.
