Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Some will say it's campy some that it tries too hard but this Video compilation of the Tubes concept album that pokes fun at the emerging phenomenon of yuppies is a gutsy and entertaining view all in all.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I don't like motorcycles but I do like this movie! Bruce Brown's ability to wrap a viewer up in a blanket of entertainment is uncanny. He approaches this documentary about motorcycle racing and recreation with a zeal and thoroughness that leaves you wanting more by the film's end. Featuring Steve McQueen,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Y'know, I get rather disgusted when I read reviews of movies like Caddyshack which describe it as "no-brainer" and "low-brow" (see the Amazon.com review, for example).The fact is that many so-called critics really don't have a clue when it comes to comedy movies of this type. Disrespect and irreverence...

D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Buena Vista (the company that releases Disney films on DVD) chose to not release anamorphic DVDs when they first came to DVD, so none of these films are anamorphically enhanced. This means, if you have a widescreen television, you will have black bars on all four sides of the picture. Also, these discs...

I thought this was just a comedy, but I should have known better because laughs alone usually don't generate the kind of success this movie enjoyed. This is a wonderful, feel-good movie with a surprisingly effective...
