Independence Day (1996) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have to say that I'm a big fan of this film, and I already own the DVD. Most of those wanting to buy this film on Bluray are those who have already seen it and liked it, so I won't comment on the movie content itself, but rather the technical and supplemental aspects of this release.I borrowed a friend's...

1941 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I think Mike from Chicago had one too many baby back ribs. This movie is hysterical. Speilberg directed a comedy classic, and with Belushi, Aykroyd, and John Candy this comedy is of the 5-star variety. One of the funniest movies ever made !Hey Mike, get a sense of humor, and then watch this again. Maybe...

Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This documentary covers a subject that has not been told in it`s own light.Well worth watching. I learned many things I was unaware of and I pride myself on being knowledgeable in WWII History. Yet I still find more every time I get a new DVD or Book.Click Here to see more reviews about: Silent Wings...

In Harm's Way (1965) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It always seems that WWI movies covered the European Theater more, as far as Blockbusters are concerned... "Longest Day", "Bridge to Far", "Patton", "Guns of Navarone", "Saving Private Ryan". Sure the Pacific had the multitude of John Wayne Movies, but true epics either dealt with Pearl Harbor or Midway,...

Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A suspensful, action packed drama, this film is one of my all time favorites. Performances by both Lancaster and Gable are right on the mark, they (especially Gable) had me believing they were actual naval officers. The scene where Lancaster relieves Gable of command is powerful, here we see two great...

Schindler's List (Widescreen Edition) (1993) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Meet Oskar Schindler. A German living in occupied Poland during World War II. A member in good standing of the Nazi party. A womanizer, a war profiteer...and ultimately a man of conscience. A man who became one of the great unsung heroes and humanitarians of the war."Schindler's List" chronicles Oskar...

King Arthur (Director's Cut) (2004) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read the negative and positive reviews of this film, especially noting the numerous complaints about historical accuracy. But considering the era from which this story is created, and the various possibilities regarding exact time and place of events, (if they ever occurred at all), I think the...

The Winds of War (1983) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Herman Wouk wrote an absolute masterpiece. Winds of War is without a doubt the very best historical novel in the war genre. Dan Curtis equally directs the benchmark that mini-series will be measured by for years to come.Casting for Winds of War was perfect when it came to matching Wouk's characters....

From Here to Eternity (1953) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Now pay attention, widescreen DVD fans (I am among them)...! Do not go looking for widescreen format before 1954, because with a couple of exceptions (see "sir-critic" below), they don't exist. One must be a student of history to some extent as a classic movie fan: when collecting a video library, know...

The Hero Ships Box Set 650 Minutes , The Battle History Of The United States Navy 184 Minutes Plus Extra : Total Run Time Over 835 Minutes : The History Channel Naval Warfare Collection Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a very interesting history of Navy ships and battles. It is real video or reinactment of history before video. It was very well done.Click Here to see more reviews about: The Hero Ships Box Set 650 Minutes , The Battle History Of The United States Navy 184 Minutes Plus Extra : Total Run Time...

King Arthur: The Young Warlord Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I appreciate the comments of Robert, however I must disagree, this version of Arthur I beleive would be more to the 'real' Arthur. The video cover does give the impression that you are about to watch a Hollywood type film with knights in shinig armour, but for anyone who watch the original series in...

Midway (1976) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I saw the movie play in a theatre and I was greatly impressed.I still enjoy the movie BUT! at the same time I am disappointed.When it was released first on VHS and now on DVD I was greatly disappointed to see how much film footage has been cut out from the original theatrical release.In its original...

The Plot to Kill Hitler : The True Story of Operation Valkyrie Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This excellent, clarifying and informative documentary was released at the 11th hour to bolster Eric Singer's film VALKYRIE. It does its job and how!--always, as my motto about documentaries, I expect no stupid re-enactments, no idiotically costumed actors, no soundtrack meant to invoke Wagner, just...

The History Channel : The History Of The AK-47 Assault Weapon Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This AK-47 History Channel DVD is well made and presents the history of the AK-47, up to and including the AK-74. It discusses how Kalashnikov eventually prevailed with his AK (Automatic Kalashnikov) over other Russian automatic machine guns.Click Here to see more reviews about: The History Channel :...

1941 (Collector's Edition) (1979) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I think Mike from Chicago had one too many baby back ribs. This movie is hysterical. Speilberg directed a comedy classic, and with Belushi, Aykroyd, and John Candy this comedy is of the 5-star variety. One of the funniest movies ever made !Hey Mike, get a sense of humor, and then watch this again. Maybe...

Biography - Admiral Chester Nimitz Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you want a quickie about a great and inspiring man, this DVD is fine. If you have already read any of the biographies or substantial histories, this is very superficial. Not that I didn't learn anything, but at less than an hour, I was disappointed. He never even speaks.Having said this, if you don't...

World War II:After Pearl Harbor 41-45 (1989) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, the good news. You get about 3 hours for about fifteen bucks. Some of the combat footage is incredible. And, the documentaries are enjoyable.Now, the bad news. Video and sound quality are poor. This is not DVD quality. Video of studio shots (the announcer, maps, etc.) are blurry and appear to...
