DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "To be honest, this film is one of Fox Studio's all-time gems, and it deserves something akin to the Criterion treatment -- with some effort to dig up excised footage and long lost interviews and other extensive supplemental material, as well as a comprehensive remastering of the original black-and-white print itself -- not this sort of half-assed double-dip with only the colorized version to recommend it." Quote: "'Davy Crockett' is, so far, the most involving of Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales and Legends." Quote: "For all the inadequacy of the acting, I feel something could have been made of this series had there been more diligence paid to the direction of each episode. It is apparent what veteran leadership could have brought to the show when you see how much better episodes with proven talent are than the rest." Quote: "All in all this is a great recap of the Eagles' near-championship season, another stellar offering from NFL Films -- which keeps getting better at this year-end highlight stuff -- and a must for any Eagles fan's video shelf." Quote: "The History of USC Football does a good job of covering the pertinent history of Trojan football. There is plenty of archival footage from the 1930s that is at once pleasing to the USC faithful and of interest to the idle viewer, as, with no hash marks on the field, snaps were taken only a few feet from the sideline. Wonder where the play's going!" Quote: "It's a valiant attempt to bring to life to one of the great literary efforts of the last century, but the spurious bloat grafted on to pad the thing to an acceptable running time seriously drags down the quality of the narrative." Quote: "Tetsu is the most annoying brat protagonist since Edward Furlong's John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I kept praying for the Choshu assassins to strike during the festival and whack this shrieking punk." Quote: "Farscape has, fortunately, proven to be an oasis of wonder in an otherwise bleak sea of standard science fiction gloom." Quote: "Aftermath: Unanswered Questions from 9/11, produced by the Guerrilla News Network (GNN), is not 60 Minutes...and that's a good thing." Quote: "Taken as a whole, the best skits delivered by Monty Python are sidesplitting fare. Snipped apart to fill a half-hour vanity piece for a single participant, they're a mess." |
