Family Guy - Freakin' Party Pack (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is what you want to buy, if you're new to family guy and want to see the episodes. This includes almost everything out so far. Here's what you'll get.
-Season One (Volume 1)
-Season Two (Volume 1)
-Season Three (Volume 2)
-Season Four Part 1(Volume 3)
-Season Four Part 2(Volume 4)
-Season Five Part 1(Volume 5)
*You do not get Season Five Part 2(Volume 6) as it is not out yet, so you only have the first half of season five*
-Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story
And a Bonus Disc, which includes deleted scenes, an inside the recording booth feature, guest star interviews, storyboards, amoung other things.
-You'll also get a ping pong set (Paddles, Net, and Balls)
-A Poker Set (100 Chips, and Cards)
-And a Collectible Carrying Case.
(All of the discs are the same as how they were released before in the season sets, and include all of the extra footage, and deleted scenes).
The only disc I've found you don't get is "The Freakin' Sweet Collection".Besides the fact that "The Freakin' Sweet Collection" is missing, this is the ultimate family guy pack, especially for new family guy fans. The best thing about the one on amazon, is that the retail price is $150, and amazon is selling for only $100! That's cheaper than their price for just volumes 1-4. As for if you have been a fan since it came out, and already own all the seasons, it's up to you if you want to buy this for the carrying case, poker set, and ping pong set. You will probably be able to find just the carrying case, sooner or later, for those that already own all of the seasons and don't wish to purchase them again.

Summer Rental (1985) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of my boyfriend's favorite movies and I have grown fond of it as well. It isn't the kind of movie that has you busting out laughing, but it puts a smile on your face and leaves you happy. The music is uplifting and the whole movie has a mellow tone, but I never considered it "slow" as some have.
I do have one issue with this movie, for which the lack of information is driving me crazy:
Am I the only person in the world to notice that there are scenes deleted from the pay channel, VHS and DVD versions? If you watch it on basic cable there are several scenes NOT found in the "uncut" (no commercials) versions:
1) On the drive down to Florida, they have fast food in the car, and feed the dog Archie the onion rings, who then has terrible gas
2) When they are in the wrong rental house the dog is continually shown chewing on the legs of the couch instead of the bones he is being offered by John Candy
3) Right after they leave the wrong house and the rightful owners sigh with relief, the couch falls over as a result of the dog chewing on the legs (they break)
Does Columbia Pictures have something against this dog? I thought those scenes added to the enjoyment of the film! I have purchased and returned the VHS and DVD versions, each time excited to be able to see the entire movie uncut.
If you're reading this, powers that can, please release a special edition with ALL the scenes!!!

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The story is about an inventor Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) who is trying to perfect his machine which, when working, will shrink matter. The problem is, nothing he does seems to make it work. But somehow, his kids Amy and Nicky (Amy O'Neill and Robert Oliveri), and his next door neighbor's kids, Russell and Ron Thompson (Thomas Wilson Brown and Jared Rushton) are shrunk! Being only a few inches tall, they end up in the garbage bag and are taken outside. They get out but the only way back to the house is through the Szalinski's front yard. They meet up with a friendly ant, a killer scorpion, the danger of being chopped up by a lawnmower, and being drowned by a water sprinkler. Will they make it home so they can be made back to their normal size?
This movie is just GREAT! Even though it's a kids movie, it's great for adults, too. I love to watch this movie with my parents. I especially love Robert Oliveri and Jared Rushton. They did a very good job acting in it. Anybody who wants to enjoy a good movie with the family, watch "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." You won't regret it!

Moonstruck (1987) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When MGM first released Moonstruck on DVD they inexplicably did so with an inferior pan and scan transfer. They've rectified this situation with a new deluxe edition that restores its proper aspect ratio and with a collection of new extras. Moonstruck was the My Big Fat Geek Wedding of its day only infinitely better and about an Italian family as opposed to a Greek one. Watching Norman Jewison's film again, you realize just how much Nia Vardalos' film is heavily indebted to it. If Moonstruck is La Boheme than Greek Wedding is Tony and Tina's Wedding.
It's time to use your old disc as a coaster as this edition is definitely worth the double dip. MGM has taken TBS' dinner and a movie to the next level by including three recipe cards with fine Italian meals so that you can do your own cooking and eat it while watching the movie.
Carried over from the previous edition is the audio commentary by Cher, director Norman Jewison and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley. Both Jewison and Shanley talk about their fascination with death while Cher talks about the importance of costume and how it helps her get into character. This is a solid commentary with smart observations and excellent anecdotes from everyone.
"Moonstruck: At the Heart of an Italian Family" takes us through the genesis of the film mixing interviews done at the time of filming (Cage and Cher) and new ones (Aiello and Dukakis). There is great, behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage as Jewison and Shanley take us through the film telling several entertaining anecdotes.
"Pastas to Pastries: The Art of Fine Italian Food" is a tour of some of the best restaurants in Little Italy, in particular on Mulberry Street. You have six different places to choose from and their chefs demonstrate how to make a few choice foods guaranteed to make you hungry. If you love to cook and eat than this extra is for you.
Finally there is the "Music of Moonstruck" that examines the role that music plays in the movie. The first screening went badly because the music was all wrong.

Fall under the delightful spell of Moonstruck, the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison (Fiddler on the Roof) and OscarÂ(r) winner* John Patrick Shanley. Academy AwardÂ(r) winners** Cher, Nicolas Cage and Olympia Dukakis excel in this explosively funny tale which also features flawless performances by Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardenia andFrasier's John Mahoney.Cher is"devastatingly funny, sinuous and beautiful" (Pauline Kael) as Loretta, anunlucky in loveItalian widow who finds romance through the intervention of the Manhattan moon. With her wedding to a close friend just weeks away, she meets and falls hopelessly in love with his younger brother (Cage)! Her dilemma and her equally passionate and hilariously eccentric family make for an unforgettable film you'll find"beguiling"(Time),"enchanting"(Newsweek) and"irresistible"("Today Show").
