But honestly, Thayer just doesn't get the job done unless there are others in the scene. I'm not sure what others see in this movie but it's not that great.
Even if you do make it through this movie... well, you might not really think it was worth your time. It's like something you're just waiting to see if it gets better. And it really doesn't.

Although my dining habits are so much simpler than the late Mr. Gold's were, I loved every minute of this film. Because he went to so many different parts of Los Angeles (including some "bad" neighborhoods) and because such a wide swath of ethnic and cultural traditions are seen, I came to realize that if I had to suggest just one film to show what Los Angeles is like today, this would be it. | So much more than just food... | 1,533,427,200 | null | null |
5 | false | 06 1, 2018 | AH7GONAOUOK3H | B01HE9S3J4 | {"Format:": " DVD"} | liberal warrior | Saw it on Hulu the other night. Don't live in LA...have spent very little time there. Not a restaurant aficionado. There is absolutely zero reason for me to like this film. But didn't find anything else interesting in the movies Hulu selected for me, so I decided to watch it for a little bit just to see how boring it would turn out to be. And I loved it.
Some of the other reviewers claimed that Gold comes across as a snob. What? Imagine a very literate, humble everyman as a food critic...that's Jonathan. Yeah, he does know what he's talking about, and it's not just food. You don't win a Pulitzer for writing about food alone. He is apparently very good at explaining how new immigrants adapt their home culture food to the USA, and how their restaurants connect the local community.

Gold is an interesting character and I can see why someone would want to make him the subject of a film. It probably took some convincing because he seems a private person who is not comfortable in front of the camera. I agree with a reviewer over at imdb (M. Miller) that this film is a hodgepodge of awkwardly staged scenes. It's as if the director said, can we have an editorial meeting with Jonathan in which the editors (pretend) to give him guidance on his next article? Can we sit Jonathan and Calvin Trillin together for a meal and hope they say something clever? The camera does not seem a fly on the wall. And the film only skimmed the surface of what I expected it to be about, eating in LA. I give it four stars because in spite of its flaws it held my attention and has inspired me to order his book Counter Intelligence. | Not a Fly on the Wall | 1,494,633,600 | null | null |

Following him as he follows his nose and appetite is both fascinating and appetizing. It was nostalgic for these former Los Angelenos and definitely should make you wonder who will enliven our palates and preserve our health if all the immigrant medical staffers and small restaurant owners and cooks were to be closed out of our society. Gold's writing won him a Pulitzer but his big heart and appreciation of this country's delicious multiculturalism inform every word and remind us that closed minds and closed doors will impoverish us all and take the flavor out of life. | International Eating without leaving LA | 1,487,116,800 | null | null |

Gold is a pompous, overrated L.A. windbag -- the worst kind because they're such hicks under the wrinkled, leathery skin -- and he's long spewed his third-rate jotting on a variety of subjects. Prior to his cretinous, exhibitionist reviews of strip-mall food, he drooled over the city's insipid rock scene -- missing the fact that garbage like Black Flag helped ruin punk (not that L.A. ever produced anything of value in that department aside from X and one or two others). Here, this bloated egoist is seen celebrating himself endlessly, while his aging "friends" and editors try desperately to seem "with-it" and somehow "edgy" by playing along.

5 | true | 10 3, 2016 | A3M142XHM3Z8GQ | B01HEXVKMM | null | Amazon Customer | This is the definitive way to own the Haruhi Suzumiya series. Only the Vanishing of Haruhi Suzumiya movie is missing, and that will hopefully be licensed soon. All the main episodes, the Nagato Yuki spinoffs, and all of the Chibi OVAs are here. If there is a weak point here, it is the Nagato Yuki series. Without the movie included, new fans or those who've only watched the TV series will not understand why the world of nagato Yuki exists. And while it is an above average series by itself, when compared to a masterpiece like the main Haruhi episodes, some now 10 years old but with animation that would looks good for 2016, the series seems even more average. Fun to watch, but very underwhelming.
The subtitles are a new translation from the old Bandai Entertainment release, and the major typsetting issues from those releases are gone as well. I recently had a chance to watch the Bandai blu-rays side by side with these, and the transfer in this new release is far superior in detail and color range.

3 | true | 09 16, 2016 | A2UMPBIEOQOLRX | B01HEXVKMM | null | D. Lang | Ok, 2 major flaws for an otherwise awesome set. First, no choice of viewing order for the first season. I'd out this under the no big deal, but for some this might be a deal breaker, not for me. Second, and the sin of this set, the lack of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie which is the spiritual conclusion of the original 2 seasons (and the first quarter of the book series) and its not like a dub with the US voice cast doesn't exist (the US release was 2011). Now this is suppose to be the Ultimate Collection and I bought it under the assumption that this included the movie (my fault), so you'd believe everything was in it, but as the first point mention, there isn't even an option for the original broadcast order, which is a fun way to watch the series was was intentional made that way (even some of the stories in the book series are out of order).
Also wanna point out that the movie is out of print and a blu-ray version is incredibly hard to find and expensive because of this. Its sad to know that the rest of the books will never be made into movies, but I think the frustration over the Endless Eight during the broadcast killed it for most (8 uniquely drawn, but pretty much the same episode). | 2 major flaws for an otherwise awesome set.

Most of the anime I was watching were bland; I am looking at you Absolute Duo; and my favorite ongoing manga series had taken breaks. I was just kind of desperate for anything. I saw that Funimation put the entire series of Maria the Virgin Witch on Youtube so I decided to give this series a viewing. What I experienced is now in my top 10 favorite anime I have ever watched. This series revolves around Maria a virgin witch that takes place in a medieval setting that felt similar to Berserk. There are many themes that are similar to Berserk especially around religion and corruption of man. Unlike Berserk that feels like an epic, Maria the Virgin Witch is not nearly as dramatic and is more of a short story but that is not a bad thing. The tone of Maria the Virgin Witch is overall lighter than Berserk as well. The main story of this series is that Maria wants to help the people around her even if the church sees her as a heretic. This want to help leads Maria to trying to break up a war that is being fought in the area by the armies of France and England that are fighting because the monarchy of France had died off leading to England wanting to take over France. The more Maria tries to break up the conflict the more resentment from said armies, the church, and even gods begin to oppose Maria who just cannot turn her back on conflict and loss of human life in front of her. I greatly enjoyed this series so much I bought the entire manga and the soundtrack to the anime after watching it on Youtube. I so looked high and low on the internet to find the complete anime series. I could only find bootlegs until Funimation announced that they would be releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD and I never hit a preorder button so fast before in my life. | Best anime I have seen in a while. | 1,478,304,000 | 5 | null |
2 | false | 10 15, 2016 | A17LO4NRI0N49F | B01HEXXM9G | {"Format:": " Blu-ray"} | Firearm Fanatic | Maria the Virgin Witch failed on so many levels. It could have been truly great if it had not tried so hard to give fan service perversion at every turn. BJ jokes, sodomy jokes, gay rape jokes, straight rape jokes, and similar crass humor, if you can call it that, abound. The idea was golden, but the execution was horribly flawed.
The plot of MtVW is simple = Maria does not like war. She performs tremendous magical acts to prevent battles, fighting, and killing. God does not like her interference in his great design and sends St Michael to punish her. Now, if she has sex, she loses her magical power.
The audio is, from raw recording to finished product, fully high def digital. Audio quality is good, but not superb. The surround mixing is a little soft and does not offer the expansive environment it should. There is also next to no low hertz tones, even during explosions.
Overall, it is watchable if you can get past the low hanging fruit humor (i.e. the Incubus never acquires his spear). | Could have been great, but failed from trying to hard | 1,476,489,600 | 2 | null |

Maria the Virgin Witch is a surprising anime to come out of the woodwork. For a medium known for its creativity and diversity it's surprising to have something so different come out of such a unique medium.
Maria the Virgin Witch is the story about a witch named Maria ho lives during the Hundred Years War. She uses her magic to stop battles and keep people from killing one another. However, given that she is a witch it draws the attention of the church who condemns her actions, merely because she is a witch. From here is it a criticism of the church, God, sex, love, and salvation (among other things).
Already some people may decide if they think this premise is their kind of show or not. I will warn you (those who are indeed religious) the show has such lines as a character forgiving God for his transgressions, accusing the Archangel Michael as being nothing but a tool for God, among other things. I have heard that some people were offended by this show. I personally wasn't, but your thoughts may vary.
The DVD release
Funimation did a good job with the release of this series, though it is fairly bare bones. The coolest thing is that instead of including a glossy cover for the slipcase, it is matte. Which I feel matches the overall feel of the series. The art on the covers and inside itself is all very standard and doesn't include any cool deviations or anything like the releases of Selector Infected or Dance in the Vampire Bund.
The blu-ray rip looks absolutely stunning. Not all shows have a bluray that is worth the money, but this one definitely does. The colors are sharp and visuals crisp. It's just amazing!
Now for the biggest downside of this release: The bonus features. I am glad that this series has the two episodes of commentary, but other than the US trailer for this show and the textless OP, that's it. I would have liked more with the show as it really is a fascinating and introspective show, but I digress. For the price it is okay, not great, but okay.
The actual show
The animation for the show is good, not great, but good. There are definite moments of reused frames throughout the series and the action itself seems rather stilted and expressionless. This is a letdown given that Production IG are the animators. However, with a show as specific as this with an even more specific demographic, I was not expecting a huge budget for animation.
The characters themselves go from great to cardboard cutouts. The main three witches (Maria and 2 friends) are the only ones out of the group that really get any screen time, the priest is a fantastic character. Think Judge Claude Frollo in an anime. And the rest of the characters i nthe series fulfill their purpose of progressing the plot. Again, none are horrible, but only a few are great.
Normally do not address this, but I feel the fanservice in the show must be addressed. The first three episodes or so have a lot of sex jokes and nudity (I mean come on, with a title like that, what were you expecting?). I feel like these episodes were only inundated with so much fanservice because the creators knew that the show would be hard pressed to get a lot of viewers. And everyone likes boobs right? But I digress, the fanservice became too much at times which did dampen the viewing experience for me.
Overall, I adore Maria the Virgin Witch. I think it is a fantastic and fascinating critique of religion and sex and hope for more anime like it in the future. | Maria the Virgin Heretic | 1,476,230,400 | 7 | null |

This is a small issue, but the previews you get (1 different show preview per disc), sometimes the audio (speaking) is majorly dwarfed by the music and I can't hear the speaking without turning it way up **NEW ISSUE: on the blu-ray disc 1, after watching the ep5 commentary, the menu disappeared.
