5 | Awesome! | A great movie that captures you and makes you think 'what if?'. I would recommend highly! | [] | B00VFTCGES | B00VFTCGES | AHY4KHVGHSVG772DM52ZSSVNNHAQ | 1,477,180,144,000 | 0 | true |
5 | I'm seeing results! | I've been doing this dvd in conjunction with the post-preg dvd. I try to alternate the two dvds to keep it interesting, and I think they are both great! The TA Post-Pregnancy dvd is a lot of ab work where this one is more legs and arms, I would say. The exercises are very challenging and they target the smaller muscle groups so you won't get bulky. The Mat dvd is a lot of standing excerises actually, so be prepared for that. The moves don't look hard, but boy, my muscles were 'crying' the first few times! There is no cardio work here, so it would be great to pair it with your favorite cardio program, or try the TA Dance Cardio dvd if your coordinated enough. You'll need 3lb weights and a sturdy chair for some of the leg work. I'm a small person but I have a difficult time achieving a defined look with other workouts, this is the first time I actually have muscle definition without bulk! | [] | B001F2HZHI | B001F2HZHI | AECQAADPQU4WLTP4B7JAUAP3IBLA | 1,252,519,985,000 | 0 | false |
5 | I'm seeing results! | I gave birth to my second child 6 months ago, and the squishy tummy wasn't going away as quickly as the first time. So I've been doing the TA post preg dvd for only about 1 month now, 5 days a week. I've still got lots of work ahead before I look "pre-pregnancy" but I'm already seeing results, even my husband noticed that my tummy is much flatter! Some women like a more muscular physique, I prefer a small, toned figure and this is what this dvd will do for you. Tracy's routine is totally different than anything I've ever done before, and it leaves you sore in the weirdest way. There isn't any cardio, like others have stated, which means you get 45 minutes of just muscle work. Its a great accompaniment to a cardio program you may already be doing, or you can try her Dance Cardio dvd. I like the calm classical music in the background, with 2 kids in the house, the calmer, the better! Tracy's cues aren't always on point, but after doing the dvd 2-3 times you'll have learned the moves and can easily follow her without having to constantly watch the screen. The bulk of the dvd is ab work with a bit of arm and leg/butt, using your body as resistance. You will need 3lb weights for part of the work. Bottom line, if you do this dvd consistently and eat healthy you'll start seeing results in a very short amount of time. | [] | B001F2APHU | B001F2APHU | AECQAADPQU4WLTP4B7JAUAP3IBLA | 1,252,518,778,000 | 10 | true |

5 | jane fonda rocks | whether they are fasr or slow, high impact or low impact,jane fonda's workouts are the most informative, the most diversified and the most exciting. she' is very motivating, makes you feel like exercising, and makes it fun. they work and she is the best example of the fact that they work. it won't hurt to follow her lead even now, in her seventies, she still makes it burn. jane fonda rocks. the only one close to her is gilad. he rocks too. but you can never go wrong with jane fpnda's tapes especially the old ones which should be made into dvds. it's true that bouncing around isn't in anymore, but there are still people who enjoy the energy of bouncing and dancing and having fun while getting a good workout | [] | 6301536940 | 6301536940 | AHTGQKGWZNZ7DLHXWLFWWRBZBQ5A | 1,402,417,781,000 | 2 | true |

4 | Love the workout, the sound mix not so much | This is really a great workout. A lot of it seems ballet-based. The aerobic portion can be high impact if you want, or you can modify it for low impact. The workout is very comprehensive and targets every area of the body, and has a lot of variety so it's not boring. But as other reviewers have mentioned, the sound mix is bad. The music is way too loud and it's hard to hear Jane's instructions. After you memorize the routine, I suppose you could turn the whole thing down, but I really hope they correct the audio problem and reissue the DVD. | [] | B00OZOIM5C | B00OZOIM5C | AG633UQBFAEP447SUP76HWLYDK3Q | 1,469,340,979,000 | 7 | true |

4 | A Standardize Review | Currently there is a slow food movement in response to the fast food movement. It is thought that because the same hamburger sells in Los Angles and in Moscow demonstrates it's supremely decontextualized nature. With slow food judgment, finesse, tradition and ambience all have a part to play, since the taste of food on the palate is just as importnt as a full stomach. Maurice Holt calls for a similar backlash against "fast schools."<br /><br />I viewed Alfie Kohns video a day or two after reading Maurice Holts article "It's time to start the slow school movement." For me it really tied all things together, it went in depth about the effects of standarized testing on our students. Kohn discusses how "test prep" is killing a students desier to learn. WIth standarized testing we "drilling and killing" are students with usless facts and not allowing for aha moments. Alfie Kohns video calls for orderly and unimaginative school systems who excel at prodcing "standard" kids with minimal in dept knowledge turn to schools that that produce the problem solvers and innovators of the future. | [] | 1887943439 | 1887943439 | AHOEKH2TJP63KKYWSZ2SZXMRTXOA | 1,177,983,855,000 | 0 | false |

2 | Sound quality warning. ! | Wonderful assembly of all male guitar players largely blues based Gary Clarke Jr and Jeff Beck are excellent as they are both the most innovative here . However be warned the sound is unacceptable and in places distorted and crackling . Have played it on a regular and a high end set up using hd digital and analogue multi outs and it breaks up frequently . The CD version is better but still lacks any cohesion not much better than a sound desk first cut . Am concerned no female guitar players Samantha Fish and Kara Grainger are two excellent blues based players whose playing deserves a wider audience love Eric and Buddy , always will . | [] | B00FLDG5BE | B00FLDG5BE | AG5SRNGGLS5TGI7D75EJB4HPRPKA | 1,389,088,601,000 | 0 | true |

5 | Refreshing lessons!!! | Zahra is a very good teacher, and she does the movements slowly so one can follow up, although sometimes it was hard to see the move, especially the figure eight when not done by itself, but I'm sure dancers will figure it out. Very good DVD, I liked it. Worth my money. | [] | B000J5EXWW | B000J5EXWW | AGF3U7LJICWQLN45K26TS7BEJ4UA | 1,188,294,646,000 | 2 | true |

5 | Fabulous!!! | It is extremely rare to find a good dancer and a good teacher. Jillina is both, the choreography is fresh, the moves are very Egyptian too! Very nice to watch.

4 | Decent DVD | This DVD is for a dancer that sees beyond appearances. One can never expect too much out of anything. This is a decent DVD, the teacher's intentions were good. This is something you could use to practice your shimmies. Celeste is a good teacher, the movements are clear and her hand movements are beautiful. Hey! One can learn a lot even from videos that are not that great, but everybody has different tastes. When it comes to Bellydance we have to be realistic, each individual has different needs and likes or dislikes. I don't want to judge this DVD too harshly. As I mentioned again it is an ok DVD for the one who is willing to practice and perfect her shimmies. Good for beginners with lots of repetitions. | [] | B000IZSMFW | B000IZSMFW | AGF3U7LJICWQLN45K26TS7BEJ4UA | 1,185,789,429,000 | 1 | true |
5 | Great learning tool | I purchased this DVD about a year ago and I really like it because this person is a good teacher and she knows what she's doing, just check her performance at the end of the DVD, you can tell a lot about a dancer that way. This is a good tool if you want to practice and get familiarized with different types of shimmies. I recommend it, just have fun, it is not easy mastering a shimmy. Give it a chance! All you have to do is practice! | [] | B000ERAPGI | B000ERAPGI | AGF3U7LJICWQLN45K26TS7BEJ4UA | 1,185,788,309,000 | 1 | false |
2 | Twilight Zone!!!!! | This video caught my eyes because it was meant for the intermediate dancer and I thought, let's give it a try why not, but I have to say, the dancer has very nice moves, excellent if you love the Egyptian style, but this video is in a twilight zone. I mean, is it intended to teach or to entertain? Is this a preview of what a teaching video should look like? I watched it and I just couldn't believe how fast this lady goes, not that she should go super slow, after all it is for intermediate dancers, but either way you want to know what you are doing and how to do it properly. As she describes the movements it is very hard to concentrate into her narration, it is too low, it just looks like a video you would do at home. It is not wise to expect too much from things because then you will always be disappointed, but I guess I was disappointed somehow. It is a very short video and it leaves you longing for more and certainly expecting a little quality. Things that are not done with love do not come out very well, but my saying is good or bad you could always learn something even from the things you don't like!!! | [] | B00004W3GC | B00004W3GC | AGF3U7LJICWQLN45K26TS7BEJ4UA | 1,136,570,551,000 | 2 | true |

3 | Great drills but "precision technique" not delivered | Firstly the good - Irina is a very beautiful dancer and watching her dance is sheer pleasure.<br /><br />I am an intermediate dancer who has had about a years break from dancing so have gone back to square one to build on good technique and refresh my muscle memory. I own over 100 DVDs and have had "live" instruction classes.<br /><br />The first of the DVD is to teach technique. This is where in my opinion it all falls down. Well filmed, pleasant to watch yet the explanation of the moves - which muscles or skeletal part leads is very lean on some. You can see - if you know good technique that she is doing them well, but the explanation for new dancers is lacking and I could see a real beginner developing less than precision technique if following the instructions alone.<br /><br />The type of teaching DVD that gives precision and wonderful nitty gritty technique are Autumn Ward, Hannan Sultan and Jenna (Basics and beyond), and there are a few others like Ranya Renee ...<br /><br />Second DVD - has combos and drills which are refreshing and great - love this one.<br /><br />So I would have loved to give this more and feel its overall a nice DVD for a Beginner level (not ablsolute new beginner), but don't think that you would gain "precision technique" from it :-) | [] | B00EZ6FXHU | B00EZ6FXHU | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,382,582,065,000 | 24 | false |
5 | Glad I got it despite some other reviews | I saw a clip of this on You tube and it appealed to me, I then checked out reviews and they were mixed. I kept returning to the video and decided to take a punt and buy it.<br /><br />I am very glad I did. Firstly CD is a nice bonus and I am enjoying that. I love the Cairo little documentary too.<br /><br />Now on to the meaty stuff.<br /><br />I find Sonia very nice to listen to calm and sweet. She is very graceful and I love her style. The choreo is just right for my level - that of 2years dancing so beyond beginner early intermediate.<br /><br />She does go over the moves, and in fairness whilst some she describes well its not really for a total beginner and her instructions are not as clear as say my dvds from Rania Renee, Jenna, Autumn, and other wonderful teachers. However, as the dance is not for total beginner, neither do the moves need to be broken down to that level either.<br /><br />I like the way she goes over the move then you can practice together and she does it from front back and side angles.<br /><br />Anyway long story short I love it and can't wait to spend some concentrated time learning the dance.<br /><br />So I would recommend it to an advanced beginner who after viewing the preview on Youtube likes the style - then this is great!<br /><br />I am sure it will stay in my library for a long time :-) | [] | B0007CIM0G | B0007CIM0G | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,328,313,334,000 | 2 | true |
5 | Ranya quality through and through | I have all of Ranya's DVD's and she is one of my favorite teachers and dancers.<br /><br />The previous reviewer has done an excellent job so I won't add too much more but to concur with the above<br /><br />I am an advanced beginner who is a slow learner, this DVD is great for my level and will keep me going I am sure for some time yet in the future.<br /><br />Personally I love it and recommend it - plain and simple.<br /><br />Any yes - please Ranya keep producing this quality material! | [] | B005IFK660 | B005IFK660 | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,325,575,682,000 | 2 | false |
4 | Great beginners drill resource | I have been dancing for 1.5 years and these are my second purchase of Michelle's DVD's. I have Drills Drills etc. and that looks great. I got this set for a more beginner focused set before really working on the drills one as I am a stickler for getting the basics right before moving on.<br /><br />Michelles DVD's are very well made - even tho these are her older ones. The set of 3 do duplicate a bit, (same moves in all three but different exercises) but they were so cheap in price I don't mind.<br /><br />Michell helped me get a handle on good technique for doing '8's without raising heels (an optional stylisation), for doing a slow shimmy with good technique, and excellent instruction on undulations. Also variations on shimmy - on lunge position etc.<br /><br />There aren't a lot of different moves, or flash choreo for these - I would rate them as good little drill come exercise DVD's.<br /><br />If you are a beginner and want to learn a lot of technique then there are ones like Jenna's, Amira's, Sadie's, Jehans, Amber (oh yea I have a DVD addiction) but these are really great, short and sweet drilling and strengthening basics.<br /><br />Not flash, but very good value for money for the beginner.<br /><br />They will always have a place when I don't want to brain strain but want to have a fun drill and a little sweat.<br /><br />I dont' think you can go wrong with any of Michelle's DVD's | [] | B001C32XSQ | B001C32XSQ | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,308,773,485,000 | 10 | true |
2 | Disappointed - Not for Beginners | I have been dancing for 1.5yrs now and struggle with shimmies, accordingly I was looking forward to a DVD to help me out. I have Sarah's veil DVD, and whilst I haven't worked through it thoroughly I was impressed enough to buy the Shimmy one. I am really disappointed with it - regrettfully!<br /><br />It is excellent quality, Sarah is lovely to learn from and watch, the chapters etc. are great for navigation but the content is NOT for BEGINNERs!!!!<br /><br />Sarah gives a quick and I mean quick overview on technique for the moves which if you are a beginner you would be struggling quite frankly. Then the first drill on shimmies has layering shimmies over figure 8's (and others) and moving arms quite a bit. Now this is my big bug bear.<br /><br />She doesn't teach layering (she mentions it, but no instruction) and layering over those moves is NOT BEGINNER.<br /><br />So instead of feeling encouraged with some good basic shimmy breakdown and drills I am left discouraged and will put the lovely DVD away for a year till I find something to get me up to that level!!!!<br /><br />If you are clever and can do shimmy layering already then this is an excellent resource but if you are a beginner so far as shimmies then this will probably be too hard ......<br /><br />If anyone can recommend a DVD for me then that would be great! | [] | B00097C4AS | B00097C4AS | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,308,773,010,000 | 48 | true |
5 | Wish I could give it 6 stars | I have quite a collection in my library and there are a few that I have bought and resold very quickly.<br /><br />This DVD is a bargain and a treasure. One of my favorites.<br /><br />Lovely lady, great manner, great teacher, and well thought out and set up DVD.<br /><br />Easy navigation and hours of quality production.<br /><br />Can't speak highly enough of it, I made comment that another great dVD I bought was over priced - this is underpriced and underated I think<br /><br />Well done Leila - I wish she would do a second one for the next level.<br /><br />I use in conjuction with Jenna and Autumn and feel I have 3 great teachers - all different styles but all contributing and complimenting each other.<br /><br />Definately worth having in your collection and probably the best 'first' dvd I have. And one that I would never sell on as I love her so much :-) | [] | B001TK80FC | B001TK80FC | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,294,008,705,000 | 3 | true |
3 | Turkish and sweet | Elizabeth has a great teaching style and is very pleasant to listen to and watch.<br /><br />Moves are well demonstrated and DVD has good sections etc.<br /><br />My only criticism is that compared to some other good DVD's I have bought this was over double the price yet not as comprehensive as say Jehan, Jenna or Autumn or Leila.<br /><br />So whilst an ok DVD I feel it is overpriced - really should be about $13<br /><br />Good if you want understanding and insight into Turkish Style. | [] | B000NA2BIG | B000NA2BIG | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,294,008,338,000 | 8 | true |
5 | Serious learning for sure | This came highly recommended if you were after a technical learning DVD. I am an advanced beginner and I started back at square 1 with Autumn.<br /><br />What can I say but she is a very very good teacher. Her teaching style is excellent and I really enjoy the learning, flows and pace of it all.<br /><br />I won't say much more other than this is simply excellent if you want a serious technique learning.<br /><br />Will always have a place in my libraray to come back to, and I hope Autumn does some more for the next level and beyond.<br /><br />She is an amazing dancer and a fantastic teacher! | [] | B001L9UG6W | B001L9UG6W | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,294,008,119,000 | 3 | true |
5 | Best DVD I own | I am a beginner, who goes to a local class in a small country town and wanted something to practice with at home to ensure I learn correct technique.<br /><br />I have about 10 DVD's and two of Jenna's this and the next one in the series - Transitions etc.<br /><br />Simply put they are EXCELLENT and make the others pale by comparison.<br /><br />I like the quality, the easy instruction, the mirror showing all angles quite simply they are perfect.<br /><br />I wish Jenna had more as I would buy them for the next level and beyond. So pleased I bought them and they are terrific value for money with 2hrs worth on one DVD of USEFUL stuff.<br /><br />Awesome! | [] | B000FSL8WQ | B000FSL8WQ | AEKVXJQ2ANNGDQQPGPJZG33YEXBA | 1,286,057,831,000 | 5 | true |
5 | Learn 21 Shimmies and 1001 Variations | This DVD was very expensive but worth every penny. It was just so visually pleasing, I watched it over and over again even before I started practising. Every shimmy is very well demonstrated and broken down and Leila is so sweet and always smiling. I have ordered 3 more expensive dvd's from IAMED on the assumption that they are all of this standard. | [] | B000ERAPGI | B000ERAPGI | AFCZRCM6PFZCGNMEJP3U3T43C3SQ | 1,221,723,730,000 | 1 | false |

It is so simple to learn when you are fairly new to belly dancing and the music is of quality.

5 | For 17 bucks this is one heck of a deal!! | For the money spent on this its totally worth it, first off for the price of one dvd you get at least one amazing movie right off the back, The Streetfighter. The Streetfighter is Sonny's best movie and for good reason. The rest of the movies are typical karate/samurai movies, not the greatest, but I sure enjoyed them. | [] | B000068TOS | B000068TOS | AE5V7LOW26TY4X2GPXC2GJYSFXTQ | 1,074,981,488,000 | 2 | false |
3 | lavish scenes, banal acting | Save for a couple of interesting set designs, this movie would've been a total waste of money.

5 | What's wrong with you people? | I said it above, and I'll say it again... What's wrong with you people? First things first. The people who slam Poltergeist Report for the animation quality have absolutely no ground to stand on. This animation is excellent, top of the line, no question. These the are the sort of people who think that X had boring artwork.<br />Secondly, what's wrong with the plot? You people seem to forget that this is a FIGHTING anime. It's about FIGHTS. So what if you've never seen the TV series? All you need to know is that Yakumo is evil, and the four heroes are good! Where did they get their powers? It doesn't matter. If you really want to know, go order the series fansubbed from Sekihou Gumi (It's really easy and cheap). I assure you that you need not have ANY prior knowledge of the series to enjoy this movie. Poltergeist Report delivers in every way that matters. The characters are amazingly cool, the fights are awesome, and the entire movie just oozes raw power!<br />Finally, complaints about a subpar dubbing job? What a shock! A bad anime dub! Sorry folks, but if you order dubbed anime you should know what you're getting into. The voice acting in the original film is so good that there is no excuse not to order the subtitled edition (Amazon even has it for a few bucks cheaper than the dub!) In short, if you like good fighting anime, order this. If you don't, go watch Evangelion or Ghost in the Shell. I know what side I'm on. | [] | 1562196375 | 1562196375 | AFNVABX6U3AVIANQXW6WVVXKIPKQ | 974,308,799,000 | 9 | false |
4 | A slight dip in quality, but an essential part of Lain. | Those who have purchased volumes one and two no doubt felt excited, and wanting more at the end. The good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Unfortunately that light is volume 4. You still have another tape to go. I must say that even the weakest volume of Lain is amazing, and I will be overly harsh about this since I am a Lain addict, but I must say some things. Don't expect much from tape 3. I did, and was let down. Primarily this tape answers the question "Is there a god in the wired?", and shows us yet another side of Lain's enigmatic personality. However, it seems as though at this point the series' budget began to run thin, and the animators got a little scrapped for ideas. Also, this volume contains sections that are just wierd for weirdness' sake, and other sections that are nothing but photographs scrolling by with plot points being laid out. But the unforgivable sins this tape commits are 1)the last episode ends seemingly mid scene and 2)The events detailed in episodes 9 and 10 appear not to have happened by episode 11. Now I suppose one could justify sin #2 by saying that the whole sequence may be a vision or something, but I still was quite confused by this gaping plot hole. But don't get me wrong. You must buy this tape. It's still better than 90% of anime out there, and no series is perfect. Most importantly, Tape 4 is a life-changing experience. And simply for that reason alone, it is neccesary to see volumes 1-3. As a whole, Lain is amazing. | [] | 6305583234 | 6305583234 | AFNVABX6U3AVIANQXW6WVVXKIPKQ | 956,626,435,000 | 5 | false |
5 | An essential volume of an amazing series | As you can see from the 60 or so 5 star reviews of volume 1, Lain is not a series to ignore. I could spend paragraphs ranting about how Lain altered my perception of reality, but you're probably sick of that by now. I will just say that if you dug episodes 1-4, you'll love this volume. While the first tape put the emphasis on creating an atmosphere of creepy uneasiness, this one actually starts to incorporate a plot to give it a bit more coherence. I loved this tape, and both episodes 6 and 7 end with amazing moments that TOTALLY alter the flow of the story. The second best of the series, Volume 2 threw me for a loop, and I suggest you buy it (and the entire series) now, without even thinking. | [] | B00000JLVB | B00000JLVB | AFNVABX6U3AVIANQXW6WVVXKIPKQ | 956,625,618,000 | 2 | false |
5 | Anyone who's been to law school should watch. | The amazing thing about this movie is that every single character reminds you of a student in your 1L class, no matter where you went to law school. There's always one guy who is a rote genius but can't hack it as an analyst. There's always some guy who writes a 200-page outline. There's always some guy who thinks his study group is too special to let academic pedestrians get a free ride. And then there's you in the middle. I'm in law school, but I don't think I would know that without this movie. | [] | B000005QHG | B000005QHG | AEXTGJHUTOLUFXB7WU3WP2K5CTDA | 983,548,794,000 | 3 | false |

2 | DID I RENT THE RIGHT MOVIE?? | I think I saw a different movie that the other reviewers. The "Freebie and The Bean"<br />I saw was at best a routine 70's buddy cop film. There's now way it can be the best Buddy-Cop movie ever<br />with French Connection and Lethal Weapon (2&1) out there. Sure it had some standout stunts and<br />moments ie. The Hillbilly in the Hotel Scene, the Kitchen Fight and the Apartment Crash but the<br />confusing, non stop "buddy cops who argue but love each other anyway" banter got tiresome<br />after a while. The banter is a standard in all buddy-cop flicks but, in this one, you realise just how annoying<br />it can be. And that carnival score...Yeesh!! Talk about killing the mood. I found myself<br />waiting for the camera to swing over to a bunch of clowns climbing out of a Volkswagon.<br />The title song too is atrocious and forgettable. Something funky and playful ala the Barney Miller<br />theme might have worked better. The film leaned towards being a spoof but<br />kind of got stuck somewhere in the middle. On the plus side, it has that ultra-violent,<br />politically incorrect style that will appeal to any fan of 70's action cinema (like myself). After 1976,<br />movie and TV show violence cooled down a notch so, in that aspect, Freebie and the Bean is vintage and<br />worth viewing (if you like that sort of thing). | [] | 6300269671 | 6300269671 | AHHXVAEKAYJGVWACMYCSBQUND7TQ | 1,010,705,878,000 | 3 | false |
3 | Okay movie | The movie was somewhat good. There was not enough background information in the movie to give an idea when the time period is.

5 | Classic Old School Action Flick. 7/10 | Steve McQueen does a great job in the Peckinpah film. The dialogue and the story are great. It's not as bloody of some of Peckinpahs other films but the action is still good.<br />The shotgun "Doc" uses is a High Standard K-1200 Riot Standard Shotgun. He buys it in such a cool understated way that other actors often use the same words, gestures and tone as he did.<br />They made a remake of this but it was just average. | [] | B0008ENHTY | B0008ENHTY | AGVUBY43MX4PETNFTXL2CBGLJJSQ | 1,382,747,757,000 | 0 | false |

4 | Its a black production! cut it some slack!!! | Proof Positive is a very decent movie...I would say pretty good at at times and laughably bad at others.

All their movies have models on the cover that look nothing like the acttors in the movie. What can you say? They are marketing "B" movies that are often going to be overlooked by the masses. Put down your glass of hate-er-rade and enjoy a pretty funny movie. Its not great, but it does what it does well. Plus, you can't judge a book by its cover. | [] | B00006FDDA | B00006FDDA | AEQBGH4HKD5Y3LPN6NCVPNN4IPFA | 1,217,642,384,000 | 1 | true |
4 | Home Movies still represents!!! | First of all it has to be said, "Season two" is not better than "Season One". OK. Now that we got that out the way let it be said "Home Movies" still represents in "Season two". The show is just plain funny, with a solid mix of comedy and light hearted drama, that will keep you coming back for more. New characters such as the Walter & Perry, the mulitied-rolled spanish guy/kid, really round out an already allstar cast of characters. 4 stars. Only show better than "Home Movies" is "Dr. Katz" and good luck getting your hands on that! | [] | B00080ZFYS | B00080ZFYS | AEQBGH4HKD5Y3LPN6NCVPNN4IPFA | 1,125,168,274,000 | 2 | true |

5 | One of the best shows to grace the small screen... | When some friends got me into Adult Swim, I enjoyed it at first but largely tired of the silly, but sometimes too stupid and/or random to even be funny shows that populated the majority of the block. Except Home Movies. Home Movies became the only show that I regularly tuned in to, and when I discovered it was cancelled I scoured the internet in hopes that they'd put it out on DVD. Lo and behold, someone made the call and let us watch this great show whenever we want.<br /><br />What holds Home Movies above the rest of Adult Swim is that the series is very character driven, and the characters and situations are very real. The show is able to take situations like a kid growing up in a single-parent household and simultaneously approach from a child's perpsective and an adult one. I think that if Home Movies had been a live-action sit-com it would've gotten a lot more respect for being the brilliantly funny and insightful show that it is.<br /><br />The show is as always subtly hilarious, and what's better is that some of the commentaries are like getting a whole new episode. While I do miss hearing H. Jon Benjamin on the tracks, Brendon, Loren and Melissa have got more than enough clever and interesting commentary to keepthe commentaries fresh. The interviews are quite funny as well.<br /><br />What more can I say? The show is superb and season 2 is even better than the first one. It deserves a spot in any TV fan's collection. | [] | B00080ZFYS | B00080ZFYS | AETTABBPDN7JBXXLHB6NCH2QPUPA | 1,122,080,527,000 | 3 | false |
