	"Unrelentingly unfunny. Caesar looks like he could drop dead at any moment, and director William Castle is content to just back the camera up and impassively record that event for posterity." Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Busy Body (1967)	n/a
	"*A punches-pulled, non-exploration of the gypsy culture, and a bad Godfather* B-movie rip-off, to boot. It's all surface play, with no resonance or understanding. And marginal performances don't help.*" Posted Jul 23, 2008*	King of the Gypsies (1978)	80%
	"*Two tons of fun. Cannon* still ranks with the very best of the "golden age" of the 70s network TV detective and police genre.** " Posted Jul 23, 2008	Cannon - Season One: Volume One (2008)	n/a
	"Hurricane can't seem to do anything right: its love story is trite and unmotivated; its treatise on colonialism is hackneyed and obvious; its incest subplot is both leering and remarkably obtuse, and its special-effects-packed hurricane fina" Posted Jul 23, 2008	Hurricane (1979)	40%
	"It's not that A Very Special Favor is a particularly bad example of the 1960s innocent/naughty sex farce; it's just that it's something that 1965 audiences had already seen, time and again, and they tuned it out completely." Posted Jul 21, 2008	A Very Special Favor (1965)	n/a
	"A big, sprawling, overlong, gloppy mess." Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Spiral Road (1962)	n/a
	"The Last Sunset is a dismal, turgid failure." Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Last Sunset (1961)	n/a
	"An Arabian Nights claptrap designed as Saturday matinee fodder for the teenybopper set. It's entertaining on a juvenile level, but it's no match for other swashbucklers of the same period." Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Golden Blade (1953)	n/a
	"*Superficial, disjointed, without a shred of even the most basic cinematic techniques for movie comedies, You, Me and Dupree* scores a zero for originality, art, and most tellingly, laughs.*" Posted Jul 16, 2008*	You, Me and Dupree (2006)	22%
	"It's an entertaining Western, regardless of whether you agree with its message." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Apaches (1973)	n/a
	"Chingachgook: The Great Snake is a poor action film, and an unconvincing political tract." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Chingachgook: The Great Snake (1967)	n/a
	"Politics aside, The Sons of The Great Bear viewed strictly in terms of a commercially viable action film suffers in comparison to its Hollywood and Italian cousins. It's a fairly lugubrious Western, with much exposition for the ears, and little ac" Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Sons Of Great Bear (1966)	n/a
	"*An all-too familiar retread of themes you've seen in countless other cop mellers. Worse, The Vice* wants to cry "Foul!" while showing a conspicuous amount of gratuitous soft-core porn*" Posted Jul 16, 2008*	The Vice - Complete First Season (1999)	n/a
	"The Stooges are brilliant, but this DVD release is about as ridiculous as they come." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Three Stooges - Hapless Half-Wits ()	n/a
	"That Girl is a funny, smart, cute show with two enormously appealing actors working in perfect synch." Posted Jul 16, 2008	That Girl - Season 2 (1967)	n/a
	"*What I do have a problem with is Tales of the Rat Fink* not asking any hard questions of this mythology or methodology.*" Posted Jul 16, 2008*	Tales of the Rat Fink (2006)	n/a
	"It's professionally done, and expertly manages to get across its Depression-era message -- courage can lick anything -- to the receptive audience it was intended for." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Susannah of the Mounties (1939)	n/a
	"*There isn't one inherently uplifting element in Survivor's entire design.* " Posted Jul 16, 2008	Survivor - Vanuatu Islands of Fire: The Complete Ninth Season (2004)	n/a
	"Despite the silly things he's made to sing and say, Kristofferson is letter-perfect as the burnt-out rock star. However, his good performance isn't enough for me to recommend the ridiculous, unconvincing A Star is Born." Posted Jul 16, 2008	A Star Is Born (1976)	50%
	"SpongeBob SquarePants Season 4: Volume 1 is chock-full of great SpongeBob moments, that you won't feel guilty about watching -- even if the kids aren't home." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Spongebob Squarepants - Season 4: Vol. 1 (2002)	n/a
	"Soupy's brand of hip, fast ad-libbing, combined with wacky, crazy jokes and site gags, shows new audiences how lame their current entertainment has become. You can't find a weirder kids show than Soupy Sales In Living Black & White: Collector's Edition" Posted Jul 16, 2008	Soupy Sales - In Living Black & White Collector's Edition Vol. 2 ()	n/a
	"Sharpe makes for a fine action hero, with Sean Bean's assured performance aiding immeasurably. The location work is first-rate, with director Clegg guiding the hand-to-hand stuff admirably." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Sharpe's Challenge ()	n/a
	"Stevens acquits himself well, and Fairchild tries to pull it out at the end, but they're both defeated by an essentially empty premise." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Seduction (1981)	n/a
	"*Truly epic in size and scope, Legend of the Eight Samurai* parades a dizzying kaleidoscope of fantasy images before the viewer, topping each previous scene with another action-packed sequence.*" Posted Jul 16, 2008*	Legend of the Eight Samurai (1984)	n/a
	"*At a speedy 100 minutes, the ill-named Ninja Wars* (there are no actual ninja wars in the film), moves along briskly with its fantasy-themed love story.*" Posted Jul 16, 2008*	Ninja Wars (1984)	n/a
	"G. I. Samurai - Time Slip certainly delivers the action goods, but there's a lot of narrative fat in-between, as well as some flabby thinking in its execution." Posted Jul 16, 2008	G.I. Samurai (1979)	n/a
	"Shaw may be famous at home (more for being a boxer than a criminal), and he may enjoy re-enacting stabbings he committed in prison for the cameras, but here in America..." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Roy Shaw - Brute Force (2006)	n/a
	"Allegory serving romanticism in the guise of escapist entertainment." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Route 66 - Season 1 Volume 1 (1960)	n/a
	"A funny little nothing, with some serious undertones, courtesy of director Douglas Sirk." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (1952)	n/a
	"I suppose Patrick Henry: Quest for Freedom may be of some use in a classroom, but I suspect there are other biographies and documentaries on Henry out there that would work just as well, and probably better." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Patrick Henry: Quest for Freedom (2007)	n/a
	"All content aside, this collection sports the same transfers as earlier releases, and is therefore, totally superfluous." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Outer Limits - The Original Series: Season 1 - Vol. 1 (1963-1964)	n/a
	"One Shocking Moment is nothing new dramatically, to be sure, but it's competently handled, with some fairly good direction and lighting (for a nudie), and it boasts a (relatively) attractive cast." Posted Jul 16, 2008	One Shocking Moment (1965)	n/a
	"Obsession is one of those noodling kind of European romances that rely heavily on atmosphere and good performances, but which eventually wind up going nowhere." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Obsession (1997)	n/a
	"It's one of those titles that a lot of people talk about, and discuss, without having seen it in some time. And when they finally do, as I did, they wonder what all the hubbub was about." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Norliss Tapes (1973)	n/a
	"If I was going to recommend No Substitute for Victory: From Vietnam...to Iraq and the War on Terror to anyone, I would recommend it to those who, when seeing the title and reading who's involved in the production, automatically judge it unworthy." Posted Jul 16, 2008	No Substitute For Victory: From Vietnam To Iraq And The War On Terror (1970)	n/a
	"Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Fourth Season is a total treat for the legions of fans of Angela Lansbury and of the series. You get over 18 hours of quality mysteries, great guest stars, and family entertainment." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Murder She Wrote - The Complete Fourth Season (1987-1988)	n/a
	"It's the beginning of the end for the series, and while death knells always have a certain morbid fascination, save your bucks and rent it." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Moonlighting - Season 4 (1989)	n/a
	"*Anyone in the slightest bit interested in the "English village mysteries" genre, and who hasn't become acquainted with Midsomer Murders, needs to do so - pronto." Posted Jul 16, 2008*	Midsomer Murders - Set 10 (2006)	n/a
	"The acting, writing, and direction are still top-notch here, but seriously -- Chappell leaving puts a major bummer on the whole mood of this third season. And the series. " Posted Jul 16, 2008	McLeod's Daughters - The Complete Third Season (2003)	n/a
	"A perfectly acceptable, enjoyable Aussie soap opera, with beautiful, stunning location shots, well-written (if predictable) scripts, and some good acting by an attractive, energetic cast." Posted Jul 16, 2008	McLeod's Daughters - The Complete First Season (2001)	n/a
	"Purists may squawk, but I rather enjoyed the heated ridiculousness of Northanger Abbey. Austen's social commentary is still there, though, albeit in severely abbreviated form, and the final wrap-up is suspensefully handled." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Northanger Abbey (2007)	n/a
	"While not as funny or meaningful as The Family skits from The Carol Burnett Show, Mama's Family: The Complete First Season does offer some amusing farcical moments (and some insightful commentaries on family) from a well-chosen cast. " Posted Jul 16, 2008	Mama's Family - The Complete First Season (1983)	n/a
	"The Magus is certainly worth a look if you're a fan of the novel, or a Quinn or Caine fan. It's not an artistic success, but it's also not the worst movie ever made, by far." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Magus (1968)	n/a
	"The stories are still tight, if a little moody, and Selleck is still having fun as Magnum." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Magnum P.I. - The Complete Fifth Season ()	n/a
	"When asked what his biggest regret in the world was, Mad Frankie doesn't mention family, or country, or even personal growth. Mad Frankie says, "I wish I had never been caught." That pretty much sums up Mad Frankie, and you'd be well advised to steer clea" Posted Jul 16, 2008	Mad Frank (2006)	n/a
	"MacGyver: The Complete Final Season is a desultory collection of cast-off episodes that show no forward direction in taking the MacGyver character to his final resting place " Posted Jul 16, 2008	MacGyver - The Complete Final Season (1991-1992)	n/a
	"What exactly is the show about? When it seems to verge on sitcom, it staggers unconvincingly into sentimental drama, then back to innocuous blandness." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Loretta Young Show - Christina's Children Series ()	n/a
	"Can you imagine the insulting, side-long glance Bugs would give you if he heard you whining on and on about the completion of your collection? Just relax. Enjoy these. They'll get you through a couple of Saturday mornings until you can afford the Golde" Posted Jul 16, 2008	Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection Vol. 4 ()	n/a
	"The Krays: Geordie Connection, directed by Liam Galvin, won't help explain the gangster mind, as the cover promises, but it may turn you into a lawbreaker, after watching 147 minutes of "Gangstervision." Its brain-numbing effects are criminal." Posted Jul 16, 2008	The Krays - Geordie Connection (2006)	n/a
	"Some of it is dated, some of it was overrated at the time, but most of it is still very, very funny." Posted Jul 16, 2008	Kids in the Hall: The Best of Kids in the Hall - Volume 1 ()	n/a
