'Rediculous' Customer & Critic Reviews

[Murdoch]

The possessive of Hitchcock is not a word you want to leave the apostrophe out of.

[colinr0380]

Sadly my packedging always ends up crumpled in transit.

[swo17]

Learn to spell. It's packedgeing.

[Kirkinson]

Ghee whiz, good for him for having the curds to stand up to the cheeseballs criticizing this set. Instead of Universal buttering you up and trying to milk every last dime out of you with that first overpriced set, yo gurt the cream of Hitchcock's work in an affordable set.

Oooh, and it includes Phyco, Hitchcock's little-seen film about killer algae blooms! A really overlooked gem, that one.

DVD would not play. Tried on several different Blu-Ray & DVD players, right-side up and upside down. Would like a refund, but threw original case away.

What DVD is that for?

And is there a reason people don't usually post where the review can be found in this thread?

[knives]

To protect the innocent.

[swo17]

It was here. In my defense, I was only looking at that page in bemusement at the film's claim to being among the best of its decade.

[MichaelB]

Why do you need to know specifically which HD-DVD won't play in a DVD or Blu-ray player? Surely that's true of all of them?

Amazon review of the Arrested Development DVD set:

I was very excited to finally have these for my own. I've watched the series several times on tv as well as renting from Netflix. However, I was shocked, surprised, and disappointed that this was NOT the version I had seen previously. All the while I thought the many "bleeps" in the show were just part of the humor, and I enjoyed being able to watch the series and fill in the blanks on my own, and watch a somewhat pure show with family. All the while, I thought it was intentional and added to the overall humor of the show. After watching one episode, I quickly realized this was the original HBO version and nothing is edited. Now I'm left with two unopened DVDs that cannot be returned since they were purchased as a set. Sorry, but I felt the story line was funny without the need for foul language and I don't think it adds to the humor in any way. I always read reviews and I was surprised no one had mentioned this in the hundreds of reviews. Hopefully someone finds it helpful down the line...

The extended pilot, which is the first thing you have an option to watch from the Season 1 DVD, removes two bleeps (which did throw my family off guard a little when I first showed it to them). This guy must have quit watching after that.

If you have no problem showing your family the sexual and moral dysfunction of the Bluths but become concerned when two mild and common obscenities pop up, I'm concerned about your family values.

An Amazon customer has uncovered the nefarious Masonic subtext to Bob Gale's smash hit Interstate 60

this thing had it all.. everything you need to know about how the freemasons view the profane public is right here! it even had good old oldman as the penis deprived osiris... Bob Gale (the writer and director) is a high ranking freemason and this is nothing more than a very very very in your face blatant freemasonic allegory.
get the propaganda while its hot!

Please don't make fun of my Amazon reviews.

I just began putting together a list for the forthcoming documentaries genre project. In searching for what's available for streaming on Amazon, I came across this review of Wiseman's Crazy Horse:

I found myself fast-forwarding through this to see if it got better. It shows what goes into the planning of a new show at the Crazy Horse...but the lighting or film type or something makes this film look like 70s porn. The dancing is reminiscent of something in Vegas with showgirls. I rented this thinking it might talk about the differences between this place and the US. Maybe go into the personalities of the dancers. I was curious about the differences. However, this movie was weird and strange...and I can't help but wonder if these girls get paid anything. They don't appear to walk out in the audience for tips, so I can only guess.

Anyways, I do not recommend this movie to anyone. It's artsy and has music that is out of Edward Scissorhands...seriously. Just weird. And the shadow puppets at the beginning and the end...what was that all about? Just weird. Shadow puppets making out to Edward Scissorhands theme. O-----k then.

As someone with tickets to the Crazy Horse in about two weeks, I hope I find the show to be better than this guy did.

Actually, it was posted by Megan from Montana. Have fun.

the very first posted review for No on Redbox.com:

It would have been great if REDBOX had labeled this movie as a FOREIGN LANGUAGE film. The story may be great, but I really can not get into READING a movie. It distracts from the action on the screen to have to read the dialogue at the bottom of the screen.

Redbox's description - bold is THEIRS:

In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency due to international pressure. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO campaign persuade a brash, young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra, to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language.

In Spanish, with English subtitles.

[Brian C]

Well, I'm glad Redbox took action so promptly in response to his concerns!

[Gregory]

Someone else who's toward the bottom of the reading skills pyramid has now copied and pasted that "review," adding "(These are my Exact Thought also.)" Maybe they couldn't understand the language info that Redbox posted because it wasn't written in random capitalization: IN SPANish With english Subtitles.

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden have been the source of some of the world’s greatest films, directors, actors, and actresses. Including works like Ingmar Bergman’s haunting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Scandinavian cinema dates back to 1897. (Library Journal Best Reference Review )

[Matt]

That's not Amazon's fault, that's (horrifyingly) what the original Library Journal review says.

[cdnchris]

I'm guessing the auto correct did that when they tried to type "Winter Light". That silly Siri.

[swo17]

What an embarrassing typo--Scandinavian cinema actually dates back to 1896.

[AK]

Including works like Ingmar Bergman’s haunting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...

Definitely my favorite Bergman, that one. Bibi and Max have rarely been better.
