Pearl Harbor Gift Set (Feature Film/ Beyond The Movie) (2001) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Why does Hollywood have to make a three hour movie about a terrible day in US history and turn it into 'As The World Turns'? I could not believe that I sat through this piece of junk. It was 2 1/2 hours of 'General Hospital' and 1/2 hour of reality. It's a shame that Hollywood feels that 99% of the films...

The History Channel Presents Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a DVD set which is quite well done, but I find the packaging a bit misleading. There are three DVDs included, only one of which is specifically about Pearl Harbor, the other two are biographies of Douglas MacArthur and Chester Nimitz. Obviously these two figures are crucial to an understanding...

Killer Subs In Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Killer Subs in Pearl Harbor is an episode of the award-winning educational documentary series NOVA, re-examining what science and history have to tell us about critical attack on Pearl Harbor that prompted America's involvement in World War II. When the USS Arizona sank, more than 1,000 crew members...

Tora Tora Tora (1970) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm not a big war-movie buff any more (THE SEARCH FOR PRIVATE RYAN cured me) but this is a worthwhile film if you have an interest in WWII. TORA! TORA! TORA! is a documentary-type film. Think of it as a Stephen Ambrose book recorded live. The film is neither a glorified fifties war-film (IN HARMS WAY,...

ABC News Specials Pearl Harbor: Two Hours That Changed the World Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a historian I was very interested in ABC's Pearl Harbor airing in 1991. I was not disapointed. From the causes to the aftermath, the program was outstanding. Especially interesting were the interviews with both Japanese and American participants. I immediately ordered the VHS tape and have enjoyed...

The Final Countdown (Widescreen Edition) (1980) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This film is well written, has an all star cast and has wonderful photography. Filmed well before Top Gun, The Final Countdown has great areial combat/flight scenes and shows the awesome capabilites of the navy's modern nuclear aircraft carriers and the stressful environment that all aboard have to live...

Saving Private Ryan (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Saving Private Ryan" is, by all accounts, an American masterpiece and one of the premier World War II films. Its release on Blu-Ray has been highly anticipated and, for the most part, it doesn't disappoint. First of all, the transfer is every bit as astonishingly sharp as expected. I am by no means...

Armageddon (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Criterion Collection release of Armageddon is a treat. It offers 2 commentary tracks, one featuring the director Michael Bay, actors Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has comments on several interesting things. Affleck's commentary is sometimes very funny. The other commentary...

Pearl Harbor - The View From Japan (2001) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This seems to me a worth-while DVD; I don't regret buying it. It is somewhat mis-titled, for it actually briefly covers the entire ill-fated Pacific campaign. It has a strong focus on Admiral Yamamoto himself--his foresight and vision as a military leader, and his reluctance to enter into a fight with...

Sacrifice at Pearl Harbor (2001) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This tape makes you really wonder whether the attack on Pearl Harbor was preventable given the preponderance of intelligence and information that is available now through the freedom of information. 75% of Americans before Pearl harbor did not want to go to war, afterwards, people were volunteering to...

The War File: Pearl Harbor (2008) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Battlefield: Pearl Harbor" does not indicate that more than half of the DVD contents shows the loss of Singapore to the Japanese, in the months following Japan's attack on Pear Harbor. The DVD jacket and label offers no mention of this extensive content. Winston Churchill called the defeat of British...

Pearl Harbor (Documentary) (2001) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This movie was definitely one to show off the Blu-Ray format, but some corporate genius decided not to pay MS royalties for the use of VC-1, and they went with MPEG2 again on PH. Unless you have the sharpness dialed down on your set, or a 720p display blocking can be seen on this title pretty easily....
