Boris Karloffs narrative and the Dr Seuss tale create a timeless classic loved by those young and old. A great treat for the whole family to watch. Ill have my 2 girls and wife together to watch this classic and bring in the holidays the way it should be. DOnt forget little cindy lou who ,who was no more than 2. CLASSIC』
(It Isn't Christmas Without The Grinch) 『Dr. (Theodore Geisel) Seuss's story of a mean-spirited creature who discovers the real meaning of the holiday was a lovely story to begin with. But director Chuck Jones's contribution made the story truly poignant.
During the war, the two had collaborated on a series of animated shorts for service men featuring Private Snafu. Afterward, Jones returned to directing those wonderful animated shorts from Warner Brothers and Seuss went on to write a score of children's books. Their reunion produced this seamless blend of heartfelt sentiment refracted through the lens of a Looney Tunes sensibility.
Veteran voice actors help to round out the piece, but it's Boris Karloff's brilliant story telling and his voice of the Grinch we remember.』
(A True Classic) 『I waited each to see some of my favorite shows as a child, Rudolph, Frosty and of course the Grinch.
I never grew tired of these shows when I was younger and they still entrhall me, and my child, today.
This is a great version of the Grinch in terms of the quality of the video and if you like the show, it is a worthwhile addition so you can see it more than just once a year.』
(Ahhh, memories...) 『I absolutely love my copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Horton Hears a Who. I did not notice any color variations or strange sound effects, so I'm guessing some people received a bad copy. However, this version is wonderful! I enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss growing up and this movie brings up happy childhood memories of Christmas! This is a great Christmas story for all ages with a good message behind it!』
(An insult to the source material) 『Dr. Seuss' classic holiday story was already adapted for the screen in a beloved animated version by Chuck Jones. This gratingly unfunny retread fails its predecessors in every way. It's just awful.』 『Every Who down in Who-ville likes Christmas a lot&; But the Grinch who lived just north of Whoville did NOT! So the cuddly as a cactus Grinch (with termites in his smile and garlic in his soul) tries to wipe out Christmas for the cheerful Who-villians, only to discover: Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more! Magnificently narrated by Boris Karloff and animated by cartoon legend Chuck Jones, it's an award-winning Who-roast-beast-feast of a holiday classic!』 『This all-time classic now hasHorton Hears a Who!on the same video for a great double bill.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas To heck with the kids--this is one of the best holiday presents you can give yourself. Adapted from the children's book by Dr. Seuss, this charming story is one to watch every holiday season. It is just edgy enough to help you forget the more cloying aspects of Christmas, yet it is also sweet enough to remind you of the reason for all that holiday cheer. Animation genius Chuck Jones directed this 1966 television production featuring the voice of Boris Karloff as the mean greenie. Bitter and selfish, the Grinch decides to steal Christmas away from the Whos, the sweet little folk who live at the bottom of his mountain home. When little Cindy Loo Who returns his hateful act with kindness, she melts the old miser's heart. There are many reasons to watch this: inventive wordplay, Karloff's impressive narration, and a very memorable soundtrack.--Rochelle O'Gorman
Horton Hears a Who! Chuck Jones was chief animator on this lively adaptation of the famous book by Dr. Seuss. The story of a friendly elephant named Horton who discovers--deep inside a daisy--a tiny city called Whoville with tiny, intelligent residents--this film (fleshed out a bit from the source) is strong on character and has striking, appealing visuals. The little folks of Whoville, with theirnatural air of aristocracy, are a kick, and when they come to see Horton as a hero for his democratic view of all life big and small, the effect is quite touching. This should be a real treat for kids already familiar with the book, and just might inspire those who haven't read it to pick it up.--Tom Keogh』

(Beautiful and Fantastic!) 『I just watched my first American Girl movie day-before-yesterday and I immediately had to go and find some more. I haven't been let down. This is my second movie in the series to see and my Mother and I both had tears welling in our eyes throughout the entire film. It is sweet, relevant to modern day issues even, and it shows the importance of friendship and family. I like how the movies encourage involvement in causes. So far the ones I've seen have all been perfectly clean and wonderful for family viewing. I really think they are suited for all ages, as the stories are so well done. I recommend this movie and recommend it some more. I can't wait to see more in the series.』
(Absolutely Delightful!) 『By way of disclosure, I am an American Girls Junkie, as are my wife and daughter. Their books and movies provide an excellent mechanism with which to teach living history to young girls. "Samantha, An American Girl Holiday" is no exception.
For those of you unfamiliar with Samantha, she is a wealthy orphan living in New York in 1904. This movie tells the story of Samantha's developing friendship with Nellie O' Malley, the daughter of an Irish domestic servant. As the film progresses, the viewer enjoys the breakdown of distinctions between social classes, first among the children, then among the adults.
From an historical perspective, it shows the life of the wealthy, their servants and the suffragette movement.
The movie is Pollyannaish, to be sure, but still delightful. Enjoy as you learn!
』
(Heartwarming, wholesome, great scenery and acting) 『My daughter is an avid American Girl fan. She loves the books and dolls so I treated her to this DVD. I was much more impressed with this DVD than I thought I would be. The setting is beautiful and authentic. The acting is top notch, and the storyline might just leave you crying at times.
Samantha befriends a young girl next door who moves in to be a maid. Since her mother died her father and 3 sisters work in the house of an upper class snob. The poor girl then is sent to an orphanage when her father dies of an illness, and Samantha fights for better care of orphans and eventually her aunt and uncle adopt the three girls. Samantha herself is an orphan, but since she comes from a wealthy family, her grandmother and uncle take care of her.
The story finally culminates on Christmas morning, in a beautiful Norman Rockwell like setting. I cannot imagine a little girl who would not enjoy this movie. If you are a fan of The Little Princess, you will love this movie as well.』
(Simply a holiday classic!) 『I purchased this DVD after seeing it air on the Hallmark channel right before Christmas! I am a huge fan of timeless classics and 'Samantha' did not disappoint! The costumes during this time period, the entire story line and the adorable actresses will surely leave you with smiles from beginning to end. It's a wonderful family movie, with or without kids; one you'll end up watching for years to come!』 『A live-action movie based on american girls most popular character samantha! every little girl will want to share samanthas adventures in the bustling new york city of 1904.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Just a second rate western) 『I was expecting some lightweight piece of rubbish where I could switch my brain off for an hour and a half, and that's what I got. But I was also expecting to see a georgeous blonde babe strutting her stuff to make a worthy distraction. Unfortunately, that didn't really happen.
Laurene Landon might be a hottie, but you wouldn't know watching this. She spends most of her time striding around completely covered in a set of buckskins looking a bit like Doris Day, who I never thought of as a sex symbol. As I had been expecting (and I am not sure why) to see her strutting her stuff in some bikini/jungle girl outfit, this was a bit of a let down. In fact, that hope was my principal reason for watching it.
So what did I get. Basically, a second rate western, set in Mexico, in which some goodies and some badies ride around looking for some lost Inca gold. The plot was stupid, the humour was lame, the script was poor, the characters were two dimensional, the acting was inept,... Shall I go on? You get the point.
It isn't the worst movie I have ever seen by a long shot, but there a better ways to turn your brain off for a while.』
(What happens when...) 『... you take a popular concept (in this case, Indiana Jones), fuse it with heaping helpings of spaghetti western trappings, and insert a Bo Derek-lookalike in the title role? Why, you get YELLOW HAIR AND THE FORTRESS OF GOLD, a lame, low-budget western from 1984 with a feeble grasp of any of the elements that made the Indy movies, or Italian westerns, popular in the first place.
Laurene Landon plays Yellow Hair, a young white woman who, as a young child, was adopted by an Apache tribe after she was abandoned (or something) by her birth parents. Yellow Hair grows up to be the toughest kick boxer of her tribe. We see her first as she's rather decisively beating up a young Apache brave. Then it's off to spring the Pecos Kid (Ken Roberson) from his cell in a Spanish fort commanded by an unfunnily effeminate Colonel Torres (Luis Lorenzo.) And then... but, heck, what does it matter? There's a missing gold nugget that has to be retrieved so Yellow Hair's adopted mother can die easy, a horn to be blown at the Canyon with No Echo, and a Man Who Knows to be visited.
If, as seems to be the case, YELLOW HAIR intended to repeat the breakneck pace and high humor of the Indiana Jones franchise, it fails miserably. True, the film moves from one adventure to the next, but there the similarities end. The pacing is leaden, the jokes feeble, and someone forgot to buckle the swash. There are a couple of interesting scenes - Yellow Hair and Pecos Kid being chased while driving a stagecoach comes to mind - but for the most part it's just an embarrassing copy of a popular formula.』
(B (or C) Movie Western) 『Pretty standard movie for the era, involving brutal tortures of gold hunters in the opening scenes, the twisted, comical Spanish/Mexican general as the evil villian, "noble" savages, a lost inca temple, humor, a tough (and very plain) leading lady, an easy-going western hero, this is a Western adventure. Bar fights, stage coach chases, running out of ammo, snakes in tumble weeds hured at the enemy, neither nudity nor sex - wasn't anything new for westerns. Acting was sometimes cheesy, film was not always perfect but was okay, it starts as if it's part of a cliffhanger series ("Last time our hero...") and ends as one. Hard core western fans might want to give it a try and people wih simple tastes. I was tempted to give it 2 stars - it's pretty vanilla - but I don't watch movies I don't think I'll like.』

Clark Terry shows off his humor, wit, and oh, looks so easy playing, that makes him a true master. This guy is what made, and makes jazz such a beautiful art form. His accompanment is just as good as he is. Oh!, if only you could be there, this is very close. Hats off to the producers of this DVD.』
(Clark Terry - Live in Concert) 『This is an amaizing disc. I recomended for all the family who really are fan of jazz music It's excellent.』
(If you love Clark Terry....) 『I've always been a Clark Terry fan. He's a special player, and I wish more of his recording were available on CD, as I wore out most of my Clark Terry albums. I give the DVD 5 stars, as the video and recording qualities are real good. If I was disappointed in one area, that would be that he didn't play enough. Naturally, he does play on every track, and he has a very capable group that he gives way to, but I would have liked to hear him more. There is also a nice interview session with him in the "extras" part of the DVD, which I also enjoyed as much as the concert.』 『An internationally renowned trumpeter and headliner for jazz festivals around the globe, Clark Terry began his career in the 1940s and worked with legendary greats such as Count Basie and Duke Ellington. His love of music crossed over into education, and as director of the Clark Terry Great Plains Jazz Camp and noted author of books on trumpet technique, he is often referred to as "America's #1 Jazz Educator." Now see up-close and live how this charistmatic performer's improvisation and love of jazz music always keep an audience enthralled! Tracks: Quicksand, Elijah, Motens Swing, Love Love Love, St. Lucia Blues, All Blues, My Gal, Take the "A" Train, Bye Bye Blackbird.』 『St. Lucia may not be the most likely setting for a jazz show, but this 84-minute concert by veteran trumpeter Clark Terry, recorded on that Caribbean island in 2001, is an absolute delight. The Kansas City classic "Moten Swing" and the Duke Ellington standard "Take the 'A' Train" reveal the influence of Duke Ellington and Count Basie, with whom Terry once played; but the trumpeter and his excellent quintet (alto saxophonist Donald Harrison and drummer Victor Lewis are especially good) also navigate more modern waters, including a take on Miles Davis's "All Blues" and Terry's own "Quicksand," a burning, bopping blues. Terry, whose use of a mute on his horn is one of his trademarks, is a swinging, sophisticated player; he's also an amusing raconteur (an 11-minute interview is the principal DVD bonus feature), and his own vocal tune ("My Gal") is downright hilarious. Jazz lovers are in for a treat.--Sam Graham』

I think even as a parent it is one of the least annoying videos to have playing in the background, it was awesome for in the car too!!』
(Excellent) 『This is an excellent DVD to teach letters and phonics. My son learned much with this and loved the story and characters.』
(My two year old loves this dvd!!) 『My friend told me about this b/c her two year old learned her letters and sounds from it. I was skeptical b/c I was a kindergarten teacher for 9 years. So, just to check it out I bought it. My son LOVES it. He knows almost all of his sounds. He doesn't know all the letters...but, that is A-OK with me. The reason why he learned them so quickly is b/c the video incorporates a movement, a sound, and the name of the letter....this hits three different learning styles. My son ASKS for his letter video almost everyday!!』
(Wonderful Tool for pre-schoolers!!) 『Both my three year old and my four year old love this video. I love it too. After the first week, my 4-yr old learned how to read short simple words. He appreciates the cartoon characters that help him associate the correct sounds to each letter and talks about his letters EVERY DAY!! Everywhere we go, he is sounding out letters, trying to read words. My neighbors are so impressed, as am I. I am in the process of purchasing this for my younger nieces and my God-Daughter for the holidays.

』 『Tad, Leap, and Lily hop from the pages of the amazingly popular Leap Pad learning toys onto the television screen in this attention grabbing phonics program. Tad's disappointment at being unable to help his family with an important presentation at the letter factory quickly turns to excitement when he meets Professor Quigley and joins each of the letters of the alphabet in their own fun-filled classroom devoted to learning their unique sound. Tad practices karate kicks with the k's, digs the vibes with the cool cat d's drumming on the bongos, and snores peacefully with the z's while learning to recognize each letter and the sound it makes. A catchy, fun song serves as a summation of each letter's "class" and entices even the most reluctant of toddlers (and their parents) to sing each letter's sound. An interactive game follows the program and gives children a chance to practice their newfound skills of recognizing letters and their sounds.
