Quote: "The dreams it conjures aren't as cozy as a dinner party in Provence, but The Art of Travel will likely appeal to anyone who's gone adventuring vicariously with Anthony Bourdain or any number of his traveling brethren."

Quote: "Orson Welles' Don Quixote is indescribable. Nonetheless, I'm going to try. Talk about tilting at windmills."

Quote: "The clues are telegraphed too obviously, with ominous music and meaningful expressions from the actors contributing to the melodramatic atmosphere."

Quote: "With more than half of the episodes in the set leaving a lasting impression, The Untouchables: Season 2, Volume 2 will definitely please fans of the series and could grab the attention of new ones, especially if, like me, you're looking for a 24-style fix of action."

Quote: "It looks like Jackie Gleason picked just the right point to bow out, leaving the audience wanting more."

Quote: "The documentary profiles several of the Mesa's citizens, most notoriously Dean Maher, who disputes reports that he set his own home on fire and let his dogs die inside, when police came to search for marijuana."

Quote: "Clash of the Cavemen presents a mixed bag. The experts seem to know their stuff and present the theories well, and the research breakthroughs presented are interesting, but the reenactments are done badly."

Quote: "A great example of the New Wave thriller. It's a bit more of a mood piece than the DVD cover blurb suggests ('An edge of your seat thrill ride along the French Riviera'), but there are enough thrills in the chases to make it true enough."

Quote: "If art is your scene, either as a doer or a viewer, you'll be interested in this Golden Age of Modern Art story."

Quote: "The First Olympics: Athens 1896 is well-intentioned and good-natured. It's also predictable and sometimes dull. You know in the first few minutes which characters are going to win, and the hour or so in Part Two that shows Americans racking up medals plays out tediously."
