TCM Greatest Classic Film Collection: Legends - Errol Flynn (The Adventures of Robin Hood / Captain Blood / The Sea Hawk / Adventures of Don Juan) Overview


THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) - Winner of 3 Academy Awards* - Dashing Errol Flynn triumphs in this lavish version of the Robin Hood saga. Olivia de Havilland (as Maid Marian), supreme villains Basil Rathbone and Claude Rains and a boisterous who’s who of character actors co-star. Welcome to Sherwood! CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935) Flynn skyrocketed to stardom as a 17th-century physician turned pirate after escaping unjust political imprisonment. Radiant Olivia de Havilland co-stars in the first of their eight films together. Michael Curtiz directs. THE SEA HAWK (1940) Cannons thunder, blades clatter and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s dyamic music swirls as Flynn plays a seagoing rogue who commandeers a 40-gun galleon, endures captivity, then boldly escapes to warn England of Spain’s armada. ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN (1948) - Academy Award* Winner - In this later-career swashbuckler, Flynn is a warmer, wittier version of his earlier characters as he rescues the Spanish queen (Viveca Lindfors) from the snares of an evil duke.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The Friendship Edition) Review

Your family will laugh along when Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit’s house from eating too much honey and the lovable characters’ flurry of hilarious activity on a windy day. These timeless adventures are brought to life through extraordinary Disney animation and engaging songs, such as "Little Black Rain Cloud" and "Rumbly In My Tumbly." "Three Cheers For ‘Winnie The Pooh’! Exactly Right – Wistful, Sprightly And Often Hilarious," raves The New York Times about the perfect first story for every child. Make sure your family has this beloved classic film in your collection so it can inspire the childlike imaginations of fans of all ages.


The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The Friendship Edition) Specifications


Disney's 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh may be the last word on (animated) Pooh because it so faithfully honors the first word on Pooh, penned in the 1920s by British storyteller A.A. Milne. Gently paced, subtly humorous, and blessedly understated, this adaptation reflects Walt Disney's original vision to develop the beloved British bear for a wider audience. The film is essentially a collection of the original Pooh shorts, "The Honey Tree," "The Blustery Day," and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too." These storybooks are presented in seamless "chapters," narrated by the timeless Sebastian Cabot. The familiar musical score and original voices of Sterling Holloway as Pooh, and Paul Winchell as Tigger, cap this enchanting keepsake. (Ages 2 and up). --Lynn Gibson

Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland

Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland Review






Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland Overview


Movie DVD


Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland Specifications


Welcome to Grouchland, U.S.A., place of a thousand stenches. This is where everyone's favorite red monster winds up when he stars in his first feature film, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Elmo learns a lesson when he refuses to share his blanket with his best friend, Zoe, then loses it in Oscar's can, where it goes all the way to Grouchland. There the beloved blanket winds up in the clutches of the greediest man alive, Huxley (played by Mandy Patinkin), and Elmo has to venture alone to Huxley's lair to get it back. The Sesame Street gang follows Elmo but ends up in the Grouchland jail. Fortunately, whenever things start looking too bleak, our hosts Ernie and Bert stop the film and offer reassurance. There are also numerous opportunities for audience participation (canned kids' voices will prevent parents from feeling too silly when viewing at home). This 73-minute film has plenty to entertain the youngsters as well as details and inside jokes for parents. And of course there are marvelous animated effects--although seeing Elmo dance in 1999 isn't quite as remarkable as it was to see Kermit ride a bicycle in 1977's The Muppet Movie. The songs are fun and bouncy, and veteran performers Patinkin and Vanessa Williams (as the Queen of Trash) contribute their exceptional talent. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was conceived as a film kids could see in theaters; in the safe environs of home, it's good fun for anyone over the age of 2, or even younger in small doses. --David Horiuchi

Ghost Adventures Season 2

Ghost Adventures Season 2 Review



I just ordered my copy, and I'm so glad that this Season is finally available for pre-order! Just in time for The Halloween Season,too, muhahahahahaha! My favorite time of the year indeed! I already pretty much wrote a novel on how I feel about this show in The Season One review pages, so this one will be short and sweet. ;)

SSssooo... well... I just never get sick of this show. I could seriously watch the episodes over and over again--which I literally have many, many times, lol. I really, TRULY hope they continue to release more adventures, and the seasons, of course. Like how they do with all those other pointless reality shows that magically appear to turn out on DVD about every other week or so. GAG ME!! This show's a KEEPER!! And once again... I hope and pray for a long-lived "Ghost Adventures" adventure--more and more seasons to come! Let's keep these reviews ROCKIN' so that our point will be MADE!!!



ETA: Excerpt from the review I wrote for Season One... Telling all the reasons why I love this show so much!


I confess, I am completely addicted to this show. I'll watch the same episodes over and over again on The Travel Channel, I never get sick of them. I just ordered Season One, and it's on its way... and I also pre-ordered Season 2, of course. DUH!! LOL. Anyways this show is extremely entertaining. Not only do the investigators gather incredible evidence once dusk hits and it's time for "lock-down" ... but they are an absolute HOOT to watch once their adventure begins. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Zak Bagans has definitely found his calling by doing what he does. This field has needed a NO BS, NO NONSENSE, tough, in-your-face type of investigator for a long, LONG time... so Zak's been a long time coming!! He's so funny to watch, because you can just tell he's like a little kid in a candy shop practically drooling when the owner or keeper gives him the tour and the run-down on the site, paranormal activity, experiences, stories, and the history behind each location, etc, etc;--which is just as fascinating in itself. He completely cracks me up because he ALWAYS tackles and taunts the 'evil' and most aggressive entities at the site, and basically tells them who's boss. He asks and demands that they try to pull the same stuff that they have pulled on other people. He's persistent, and extremely passionate about this, and it makes you wanna' back him up 100 percent! But the laughs will still be there, of course, LOL!

Nick, the second investigator is the more 'smooth and suave' type... but he relentlessly follows Zak's orders and pretty much always gets the job done, which is what these guys are just trying to do. Get in, get the evidence they need, and get the H*LL outta' there--ALIVE!! Nick gets just as frightened and scared as the other two, though, no matter how hard he tries to hide it.

Aaron, the camera-man is a total TRIP to watch beause he is definitely the most vulnerable and frightened of the group. The entities feed off of people's fear, and they loooove to mess with Aaron, hehehe. Zak and Nick undoubtedly know this because they usually use Aaron as "the bait"... making him do some of the scariest and craziest experiments during the lockdown. But Hey. Somebody's gotta' do the dirty work, right??? LOL!

All in all this has got to be the best paranormal research show out there today, and I really hope these guys continue to do what they're doing for a very long, long time. And they are ARE professional in what they do. They're real people just like the rest of us, yanno. They become terrified, run for their lives, scream and yell, and they are not afraid to show it. I see nothing wrong with paranormal investigators having a little bit of personality... and these guys have a PLENTY of it, lol, which is quite refreshing. They're like 3 little kids going through a Haunted House on Halloween night, LULZ. Their reactions are genuine and yes, HI-larious at the same time. You can bet that if I was doing this stuff in front of millions of viewers on TV, I would give them a run for their money, too! The only one who really overreacts is Aaron--no surprise. Still--it's genuine overreactions. They show us just how REAL this field is... and their techniques work, because they get lots of activity and evidence recorded. I don't think I've ever seen a show where they haven't collected or experienced any activity. So whatever they're doing--it's working! Bottom line: They get the job done, and they've shined a whole new light on paranormal studies. They are cleary passionate in what they do, and it shows. You get caught up in the adventure right along with them!

I call these guys "The Real-Life Ghostbusters" because once again, they really mean business, and let the entities know it, too (which of course, the entities do not like). They are a no BS, no nonsense group of investigators who get the job done and get it done right, IMO. It's also so funny to watch them get on eachother's nerves, too... yelling at eachother, telling eachother to shut-up, calm down, telling the other one to go do something because "they ain't doing it", etc, etc, etc. LMAO--these guys are totally like The 3 Stooges of this field. Completely genuine and completely entertaining together.

Anyways. What else can I say besides--MOVE OVER "Ghost Hunters" (pppppffffffffffff)--there's a new sheriff in town! Zak and his crew!! They are here to kick GHOST-BUTT!!! And these bros "ain't scared of no ghost!" Well... like most of the time, dude, LMAO!!!
