It's old, but it's a good story with great acting. It's also neat to see a young Denzel that I never knew existed. He was just as talented in this early film, as he has been in all of his films. Worth getting a copy for the collection...』
(a waste of time,) 『I am very disapponted with this movie. The acting was so so, plot was weak, and action scenes weren't so good either. Don't waste your time on this movie.』
(A Good Movie but an Unfortunate Edit) 『I originally saw this movie about 8 years ago on late night cable. I was flipping channels when I saw Denzel and began to watch this movie. I thought it was a good movie and then in a love scene Denzel (before he was a huge star) was naked. That in my opinion made the movie go from good to GREAT!! When I saw that the movie had been released on DVD I bought it immediately only to get it home and find that they edited the nude scene from the DVD. I was very dissapointed which is why I gave the movie 4 stars instead of 5. The plus side is that Denzel does have a pretty good British accent and that his acting is so good that he makes the character believable. A god choice for avid Denzel collectors.』 『OscarÂ(r) winner* Denzel Washington is "amazing" (Village View) as a decorated veteran who hangs up his guns for civilian life only to discover that his return home will force him intoan unexpected call to arms. Full of "gritty realism" (Los Angeles Times), this "impressive picture" (Variety) is a "well-made thriller, with an ending that is as unnerving as it is believable" (Village View)! When war hero Reuben James (Washington) returns home, he is shocked to find his neighborhood besieged by crime, drugs and police corruption. Feeling betrayed byhis country and frustrated by the lack of work, Reuben becomes an emotional time bomb ready to explode. And when his best friend is brutally murdered, this once dutiful soldier turns into a mercilessvigilante hellbent on change at any cost! *2001: Actor, Training Day; 1989: Supporting Actor, Glory』 『Denzel Washington adopts a British accent for the grim if compelling, 1989 social drama,For Queen and Country. Akin in mood and story to several American films (notablyRolling Thunder) about Vietnam veterans who return home to face indifference or hostility,For Queen and Countrystars Washington as paratrooper Reuben James, a decorated veteran of the Falklands war and Britain's occupation of Northern Ireland. Returning to civilian life in the early '80s, Reuben discovers Thatcher's England (specifically London's East End) to be an intensely racist, violent ground for class warfare, crime, and drugs. Unable to find work, hassled by white cops, pressured by old mates to run afoul of the law, and rejected by a woman (Amanda Redman) who sees him as another product of a cruel and bloody era, Reuben's hope diminishes despite efforts to do the right thing. The downbeat, predictable drama is elevated by Washington's charismatic performance.--Tom Keogh』

You can see how the cult of Queen-dom continues to this day, infecting all sorts of personalities, and yes, some of the so-called experts are Freddie impersonators, including one who shows off his false Freddie teeth. I wouldn't spend a fortune to own this, and would suggest anyone interested be sure to get a real Queen concert DVD before delving into this. It's hardly the worst flick ever, but not a vital work either.』
(Boring!) 『What an incredible disappointment! This is a boring and dreadful video. The sound is awful and there is really no new material.

If you liked westerns back in the 50's-60's, you'll enjoy these, trust me. You can't beat the price for 2 great movies.』 『Cattle Queen of Montana: Sierra Nevada Jones (Barbara Stanwyck), a feisty young woman, attempts to stake her claim in the cattle business despite threats from greedy land grabbers and their hired killers.

(Queen Live In Japan) 『If you are a Queen fan and want this for your collection its okay. But if your looking for a great concert video keep looking. Sound is bad, camera angles are bad,and lighting is bad. I would suggest Queen live at Wembley Stadium. Its too bad that whoever filmed this didn't know how to film a live band. A good Queen concert lost forever.』
(Great concert, bad quality.) 『My Mom bought me this DVD at Wal Mart, as she knows I'm a HUGE Queen fan and knew that I didn't have it. I popped it in and was pretty annoyed at how horrible the sound quality was. The mix is way off. It seems to get better at some points, then gets bad again. The picture quality is only so-so, as well, but it is certainly watchable. I only watched a little bit of it that first day and got annoyed at the bad quality. Well, I put it back in today to give it another chance. I haven't watched the whole show, but what I've seen of it is awesome, despite the bad quality. This is Queen in top form. They all seemed to be having a lot of fun at this show and as Queen fans know, Freddie loved Japan, so he seemed to be REALLY enjoying himself. The highlights for me so far are (keep in mind, I haven't watched ALL of it yet) "Is This The World We Created?," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "I Want To Break Free," and the best part is definitely "Love Of My Life." Seeing the crowd singing pretty much the whole song perfectly in English was just amazing to me. I can't imagine how great this must have made the band feel. So anyway, despite the bad quality, I think this DVD is definitely worth picking up, since it was such a great show. For me, this made up for the bad quality.』
(Only for hardcore Queen fans) 『Not sure if this is an official Queen release. In any case I found this DVD lacking in many ways. First their performance was sub-par at best. It almost seems like they wanted to get it over as soon as possible and go home. Second, the sound mix is terrible. Roger Taylor plays these annoying electronic drums every chance he gets and they are too loud in the mix. The synthesizers are also way too loud in the mix and Brian's guitar gets buried way low in the mix. Freddie is obviously struggling with his vocals. Must have been having an off night. Third, the picture quality is OK, but the camera angles are not good most of the time. Last, it's not a complete concert. There are obvious edits including Brian's guitar solo. This DVD is step above a bootleg. I would only recommend this to hardcore Queen fans that simply want to add another concert to their collection. 』
(Is this official or not?) 『The audio quality on this DVD stinks compared with the other official Queen DVDs that have been released. Freddy's voice is drowned out on a lot in the mix and the drums are too prominent. Makes me wonder if this is some unofficial substandard DVD (maybe why it keeps showing up and disappearing again and again).』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (A MUST HAVE SCHLOCK FEST!!!) 『Three of the most notorious, (hard to find on vhs) sci-fi camp classics from the 50's packaged together in one set makes this purchase an absolute neccessity for baby boomers who grew up on this stuff and lovers of low-budget trash! Saw 50 FOOT WOMAN at the theater and as a child believed that the transparency of the spaceship and the alien was on purpose to show how he can disappear into the desert at will and that Nancy Archer became the same due to radiation! This one is my favorite of the three. Saw GIANT BEHEMOTH at the theater and thought it very well-made with good acting, interesting locations and scary situations. Certainly not as juvenile as to what I was used to at the time. It's still the best of the three. Saw QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE on tv a bazzillion times during the 60's and still love it's wackiness and lack of logic. The color here is just great and the film comes off like a poor Star Trek episode. This one is certainly the most fun of the three. Great prints, great packaging and a great bargain! Buy and enjoy...You really can't go wrong here.』
(Three classics in one package - how can you beat it?) 『This box set is what I have been waiting for for a long time, I have seen one in a set with others but I have never seen 3 of my favorite 50's sci-fi movies in one set before so I had to grab it:
ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN: definitely one woman you don't wanna piss off, the story of a woman whose hubby is unfaithful and plans on killing her but instead, leaves her out in the desert where they run into a UFO with a giant in it, the hubby takes off and leaves the wife behind, the giant alien contaminates the wife and...well, you can guess what happens next and I'm not gonna spoil it for you.
THE GIANT BEHEMOTH: In the traditional "Dinosaurs that come out of the water and romp all over the city" movies...Japan had Godzilla, The US had The Beast from 20,000 fathoms, and london has THE GIANT BEHEMOTH, one of my favorite childhood movies of this genre, this creature, like his predecessors, is radioactive so naturally, scientists must find a way to do away with this creature before he destroys mankind.
QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE: a no brainer, campy classic, no thrills, no chills, just fun to watch, my sister loves this movie and so do I, probably because the case is predominately women and nice looking ones at that, this is just 90 minutes of fun which shouldn't be missed.
You can't go wrong with any of these movies, they are from a time that has long since vanished except from your memories from a childhood that has...............LONG SINCE VANISHED unless you are like me and don't mind going back there once in awhile.』
(50's "B" movie fun!) 『All three of these fall into the "So bad they're Good" catagory. "Attack" is my favorite of the three, the one I really bought the set for. Truly awful special effects (even by that era's standards) and a story that makes absolutely no sense (The Giant Alien apparently brings Allison Hayes home after they're encounter in the desert-- only how in the Hell did he know where she lived?) only add to the fun. "Behemoth" was actually quite good,though it pales in comparison to the classic "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", which it is often compared to. As for "Queen"-- well,let's just say I watched it once, and then put it back in its case, never to be seen again!』
(Good dumb fun) 『In an older Simpson's episode, "camp" is defined by a character as something that is tragically ludicrous or ludicrously tragic, to which Homer responds, "Oh, like when a clown dies." No clowns die in Volume 1 of Warner Brother's Camp Classics, but this threesome of B-movies are definitely campy. By most standards - special effects, story, acting, direction - these are pretty weak films, but somehow, enough bads occasionally make a good.
This set is titled Sci-Fi Thrillers. Disc One is Attack of the 50-Foot Woman, which is definitely a cult classic, not a real classic. In it, Allison Hayes plays Nancy Archer, a wealthy woman whose trophy husband has started playing the field, leaving her to drink herself into oblivion. One night, she encounters a giant alien, but no one believes her. A second encounter somehow results in her growth to fifty or so feet, allowing her to dole out some much needed vengeance. The effects are truly cheesy (topped by a giant papier-mache hand), but it is entertaining, and some affectionate commentary adds some extra insight.
The second film is The Giant Behemoth. In this one, a huge radioactive lizard threatens the English coast. There's a lot of filler before anything good happens, but the highlight is the Behemoth's London rampage, mainly because of the special effects work of Willis O'Brien (of King Kong fame). Unfortunately, budget constraints limit this good stuff, and the rest of the story - filled with silly science and stiff acting - is poor enough to make this movie the weakest in the bunch. The commentary focuses more on The Giant Behemoth's flaws than its successes, but it does have an appreciation of Ray Harryhausen's effects work (which would need to be found in other movies).
Finally, there is Queen of Outer Space, which features Zsa Zsa Gabor at her acting peak, which is not very high. This movie has four (male) space explorers taken off-track and winding up stranded on Venus, which is actually has a pleasant climate and is populated only by women. The Queen of Venus is intent on destroying the Earth, and Gabor must lead a rebellion to stop her. This is more of a low-"A" movie than a B-film, with bright color and sets that look nice if not very realistic. (As a side note, the astronauts wear the exact same uniforms as in the classic Forbidden Planet.) This movie also has some good commentary.
Not every 1950s sci-fi movie was the same caliber as The Day the Earth Stood Still, Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Thing From Another World. Some of the bad ones should only be viewed on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. Others, such as this trio, are more in the "so-bad-they're good" category. If you like classic cheesy science fiction, this is a fun set. 』
(Great Classics) 『All 3 are really great old (Classic) B-Movies. I can watch em over and over again. Thank's for the collection.』 『One woman - 25 pairs of shoes?!? It's impossible not to have fun with this all-time kitsch classic which, as fans know, is actually about a very big woman with a very bad attitude. The woman is wealthy Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes), fresh from the looney bin and ticked off. Her rat of a husband (William Hudson) has been at play while the feline's away, putting the moves on Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers, Playboy's Miss July 1959) and scheming about the day when Nancy's fortune will be theirs. That day will never come - not after Nancy has an alien encounter that zaps her metabollism into overdrive. Soon, Nancy's size matches her rage. She'll prove big girls don't cry, they get even.』 『Featuring three enjoyably "awful" movies from 1958-59,Cult Camp Classics, Vol. 1: Sci-Fi Thrillersturns nuclear radiation into cause for celebration, especially if you enjoy movies with extra cheese. With the Cold War in full swing and society's worries blamed on the threat of nuclear annihilation, sci-fi buffs (like future filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and John Landis) could see a new monster movie almost every week. Many of them came from Allied Artists, the low-budget B-movie production company (formerly Monogram) that rose from the ghetto of "poverty row" distribution to produce countless exploitation thrillers between 1946 and 1979. The '50s saw the rise of nuclear monster thrillers, and Allied popularized the trend with its own menagerie of giant, irradiated creatures. The key to Allied's success was its crowd-pleasing combination of exploitable ingredients, and what better way to combine sci-fi, sex, and horror than to unleash a towering babe with an attitude problem? That's exactly what Allied did withAttack of the 50-Foot Woman, a now-classic campfest in which a spurned wife (Allison Hayes) is irradiated by a glowing alien space-ball, grows to a height of (you guessed it), and exacts revenge upon her cheating husband (William Hudson). A year before she bared her shapely backside as Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1959, Yvette Vickers costars as Hudson's scheming mistress, giving the film an extra boost of sex appeal. With bargain-priced effects including a giant floppy-fingered hand, hilarious process shots, and cheesy models destroyed by the world's biggest bitch (for whom it is still possible to feel some sympathetic compassion), the movie's not as good as its celebrated poster (which now adorns movie-geek T-shirts around the world), but it's still a lot of fun.
The Giant Behemothwas director Eugene Lourie's obvious attempt to capitalize on his 1953 hitThe Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, starring a gigantic paleosaurus rising from the Atlantic with a bad case of atomic radiation. London is the monster's eventual stomping ground, but the lumbering lizard is camera-shy for nearly an hour; you can imagine Beaver Cleaver and his pals groaning through seemingly endless scenes of talky exposition, anxiously awaiting the climactic stop-motion creature effects supervised by the legendary Willis (King Kong) O'Brien. Scoring much higher on the camp-o-meter, and far more entertaining, is the cult classicQueen of Outer Space, which borrows props and costumes fromForbidden Planet,Flight to MarsandWorld Without Endfor its outrageously kitschy plot about manly astronauts who crash-land on Venus and discover an underground society of mini-skirted space-babes. Unfortunately the disfigured Venusian queen (Laurie Mitchell) is a man-hater supreme, so the spectacularly costumed Zsa Zsa Gabor (as a Venusian scientist, no less) leads a revolution against her. With a screenplay byTwilight Zoneveteran Charles Beaumont and a story credited (almost incredibly) to legendary playwright/screenwriter Ben Hecht (who surely never suspected his idea would eventually yieldthismovie),Queen of Outer Spaceis exactly what you'd expect it to be: So bad it's good, and more than worthy of inclusion in this irresistibly priced triple-feature set.--Jeff Shannon
On the DVDs Three feature-length commentaries accompany the sci-fi thrillers inCult Camp Classics, Vol. 1. Two of the commentaries are hosted by Tom Weaver, a noted authority on sci-fi and horror films whose historical acumen is more casual than academic: While sharing the commentary onQueen of Outer Spacewith the film's titular star Laurie Mitchell (who became a mainstay at fan conventions at Weaver's invitation), Weaver fails to explain how the production came to use props and costumes from the classicForbidden Planet, and that's a glaring oversight. He compensates as an amiable interviewer with the equally good-natured Mitchell, and it's a treat to hear them enthusiastically reading unfilmed scenes from the film's original screenplay. For the commentary onAttack of the 50-Foot Woman, Weaver is joined by the film's comely costar Yvette Vickers (another regular at sci-fi conventions), and their combined anecdotes provide an adequate oral history of this camp-classic production.Star Warsveterans and special-effects masters Dennis Muren and Phil Tippett provide the loose-and-lazy commentary onThe Giant Behemoth, which consists mostly of Muren making sarcastic jokes about the film's glacial pacing. It's hardly the authoritative commentary that some fans might've hoped for, but Muren and Tippett are well-versed in special-effects history (Muren even owns the original stop-motionBehemothcreature model), and they share an infectious enthusiasm for the films that inspired them to excel in their profession.--Jeff Shannon』

(Great movie!) 『One Night with the King is a fabulous theatrical presentation of the story of Esther.

You won't be disappointed.』
(Did not receive order, poor communication!) 『I never received my DVD from the seller. They did not answer most of my requests for information, and did not offer me a refund. I'm not happy :-(.』
(Love it!!!) 『This movie was one of the best movies I've seen this year. The Product was delivered way before the time it was supposed to be shipped. No problems with the product at all.』 『One Night with the King is a sweeping epic about Hadassah, the young Jewish girl who becomes the Biblical Esther, Queen of Persia.
Despite her position, Hadassah's life is in danger, as the state has decreed that all Jews will be put to death. Defying warnings to remain silent, however, Hadassah struggles to save her people, evens as she seeks to win the heart of the king, in this exciting and inspiring story about destiny.』
『The moving biblical tale of Esther--a humble Jewish girl who saved her people from annihilation and won the heart of the handsome Persian king Xerxes--is the subject ofOne Night with the King, a lush ode to one of the Old Testament's most inspiring women. Esther, played with spark and confidence by Tiffany Dupont, could perhaps be said to be the first career woman to "have it all"--while also serving her people, and God. The film, shot on location in India, has the feel of the great epics of the '60s--a sensation underscored by the appearance, in small but pivotal roles, of both Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole. (EvenRaiders of the Lost Ark's John Rhys-Davies--"Bad dates!"--echoes earlier desert adventures.) But the film belongs to the willful Esther, who navigates among war, bloodlust, persecution, and terror with the strength of knowing she's serving the Lord, and her people. If the film has a few anachronisms--including the young Esther's suitor, who has blonde streaks and a surfer-dude delivery ("The market was rilly busy today")--its heart and its focus never waver. Fans of biblical tales and well-made drama for the entire family shouldn't miss it.--A.T. Hurley』

Several klutzy encounters and high-speed car chases ensue. If this sounds to you like the obvious result of a Hollywood pitch session ("Hey, let's pair some guy fromSaturday Night Livewith a tough-talking African-American and set them after babes on wheels!"), you're right; it doesn't mean, however, that you won't get in a few decent laughs before director Tim (Barbershop) Story's amiable time-killer falls into a steaming pile of would-be blockbuster buddy film cliches. The ever-ingratiating Latifah has long since proved her star charisma, and Fallon does an amusingly offhand parody of failed machismo. They're clearly having a good time together, and you could do worse than their company. There isn't a frame here that isn't cheaply recycled from some other lame action comedy, but if you grit your teeth for the very bumpy ride, you'll come out without too many scratches.--Steve Wiecking』
