The comedy/drama Freaks and Geeks limped through its sole season on NBC in 1999 before being expelled by the network--but not before earning critical acclaim and a devoted fan base that fought valiantly to keep it on the air. Now all 18 episodes have been released in this long-awaited boxed set, which allows longtime fans and first-timers alike to enjoy one of television's most poignant and funny programs about high school.

Created by writer-comedian Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show), Freaks and Geeks followed the Weir siblings--former math whiz Lindsay (Linda Cardellini of the Scooby-Doo feature films and ER) and her younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley)--as they navigated the perils and pleasures of a Michigan high school circa 1980. What separated Freaks and Geeks from most other scholastic series was its brutal honesty--Lindsay and Sam, as well as their friends and parents, were given very human personas that showed failure, malice, indecision, and moments of great clarity. Likewise, the plotlines rarely offered pat solutions to the characters' conflicts--the show unfolded in a naturalistic manner, which was a welcome respite for viewers tired of flashy high school dramas. When combined with its smart dialogue and winning performances (the cast included SCTV veteran Joe Flaherty and Spider-Man star James Franco, as well as the sublime and criminally underrecognized Martin Starr and Seth Rogen as Sam's pal Bill and dry-witted Ken, respectively), the show became a haven for fans of quality television, if only for a brief period of time.

The six-disc boxed set provides over 40 hours of supplemental material, which should satiate even the most obsessive of fans. Twenty-nine separate commentaries from the show's creators, cast (and as some of their parents!), composer Mike Andrews, and fans are included, as are 60 deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and cast auditions. However, the most striking extra is the warmth that radiates from the commentary participants--their pleasure in taking part in such a quality program is palpable, and will undoubtedly be echoed by all who watch these discs. --Paul Gaita

HANDS DOWN.... one of the BEST SHOWS EVER .......2007-09-03

I was completely blown away by how good this show is. It is far and away the best show to be cancelled that soon, by the end of it you wish there was more. However, rewatching each episode is almost just as good, because there are a ton of subtle things you may have missed, and the audio commentaries on this box-set are amazing, they are very fun to listen to. Buying this boxset is a must for anyone.

Criminally Cancelled.......2007-08-25

Terrific, touching and well played, sans a star as the show ends abruptly. Does James Franco not age?

Just buy it. You'll thank me........2007-08-22

If I were to sum the greatness of this show in one sentence, it would be: this is something you should definitely see before you die.

wow.......2007-08-15

one of, if not the best show on tv...should've made way more than one season.

Freaks and Geeks review.......2007-08-15

My friend said it best, once she had finished the last episode: "There's an incredible empty sadness that occurs when you watch the last show...knowing there are no more and there never will be."

One of the most hysterical and most human shows in television's history, a true example of the medium's power in the right hands. It's uncanny that some suits cancelled it before it reached it's full potential. Get it. And kiss the next few days goodbye.

The fantastic visions of Belgian filmmakers Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet find full fruition in this fairy tale for adults. Evoking utopias and dystopias from Brazil to Peter Pan, Caro and Jeunet create a vivid but menacing fantasy city in a perpetually twilight world. In this rough port town lives circus strongman One (Ron Perlman), who wanders the alleys and waterfront dives looking for his baby brother, snatched from him by a mysterious gang preying upon the children of the town. Rising from the harbor is an enigmatic castle where lives the evil scientist Krank (Daniel Emilfork), who has lost the ability to dream and robs the nocturnal visions of the children he kidnaps, but receives only mad nightmares from the lonely cherubs. Other wild characters include the Fagin-like Octopus--Siamese twin sisters who control a small gang of runaways-turned-thieves--Krank's six cloned henchmen (all played by the memorable Dominique Pinon from Delicatessen), and a giant brain floating in an aquarium (voiced by Jean-Louis Trintignant). Caro and Jeunet are kindred souls to Terry Gilliam (who is a vocal fan), creating imaginative flights of fancy built of equal parts delight and dread, which seem to be painted on the screen in rich, dreamy colors. --Sean Axmaker

Pure Genius!! Just give it some time........2007-06-12

At this very moment, I'm watching this film for about the 20th time to gauge on whether or not it has withstood the test of time. I can honestly say that it still ranks in my top 10 all time favorite films (although I'm not sure what the other 9 are).

Reading the review by herstory and her pathetically ignorant "It should have been made in America" statement angered me enough to write my first review of this since I saw it in the theater 10 years ago. Being from the states, I'm ashamed at the level of ignorant ethno-centrism prevalent among many from the US. I absolutely love this movie as it is unmatched in artistic vision, unless of course you count Gilliam, Burton, and Jackson (Heavenly Creatures before LOTR).

Admittedly, I didn't fully appreciate this movie the first time. After the third of fourth viewing, the story began to make much more sense. Most negative reviews have noted that there are holes in the plot, but I strongly disagree. Give it a few more viewings and I'm sure you will agree that the open-ended aspects are much more intentional that you previously thought. Every great song, film or piece of art takes needs time to marinate in order to fully appreciate every dynamic layer. This is no exception.

The City of Lost Children.......2007-05-17

The City of Lost Children is a wonderfully strange dark movie that just blew me away. I prefer the French version. I find that I get distracted if the dialogue doesn't go with mouth movements. I loved the setting, filming, special effects. It ranks very high in my list of really great weird movies.

What I thought.......2007-05-15

The music in this video is amazing, not to mention the story, I like it for the fantasy theory as well as the "tripyness" of the plot. The charactors played their parts well, and I will watch it again and again.

All I can say is "Wow" !!!.......2007-04-02

I work at a video store , and I would see people rent this movie once in a while . Finally , I decided to rent it , and ( with no expectations except that it would probably be wierd ) watch it on my day off . What I watched was one of the best movies I have ever seen . It is a perfect mix of a fairy tale and a nightmare . A dream cocktail , if you will . Incredible cinematography and equally great acting . I can't believe that I , being the movie geek that I am , hadn't seen this already . I am sure glad I did though . I highly recommend you do the same .

GREAT MOVIE.......2007-03-26

I had seen this movie a couple of years ago and I have always wanted to see it since. I bought it finally and I'd have to say that I liked it alot more the first time, and it is not a movie I can watch "over and over"
This movie is very dark, and there are alot of subtle funny parts to it. The cinematography is beautiful, and the children in the movie are superb actors. I suggest this movie if you don't mind subtitles and you have an open mind and a good sense of humor. If you like this movie you should also see Delicatessen.

For all its flaws, Powder is still worthwhile for attempting to be unique and well intentioned. The film's qualities were overshadowed after its 1995 release when it was revealed that writer-director Victor Salva had served 15 months in prison for molesting a child actor during production of the 1988 TV movie Clownhouse. Controversy aside, Powder is a welcome step off the beaten path with sufficient strengths to balance its weaknesses. Fantasy and drama combine in the story of a teenager known as Powder for his snow-white skin. Powder is introduced into a tiny Texas community after spending his entire life in his grandparents' basement. He's a wise genius, but an outcast, alienated by those who misunderstand and fear him. When a schoolmaster (Mary Steenburgen) and science teacher (Jeff Goldblum) discover that Powder has a capacity for empathic insight and possesses the power to control electricity, the unusual boy becomes a tragic Christ-like figure--peaceful, prophetic, and perhaps too good to survive in the real world. In telling this heartfelt story, Powder struggles to be all things to all viewers--equal parts E.T. and The Elephant Man--which compromises its overall impact. But even though it's not a great movie, it sincerely tries to accomplish something original and wonderful, and that's more than most movies can claim. --Jeff Shannon

Description

You've never experienced anything quite like POWDER -- the uplifting, must-see hit that audiences and critics loved! Harassed by classmates who won't accept his shocking appearance, a shy young man known as Powder struggles to fit in. But the cruel taunts stop when Powder displays a mysterious power that allows him to do extraordinary things. This phenomenon changes the lives of all those around him ... in ways they never could have imagined. Hollywood stars Jeff Goldblum (JURASSIC PARK) and Mary Steenburgen (PHILADELPHIA) lead a top-notch cast in this unforgettable story of hope and wonder.

Often Shunned Movie - Quite Refreshing.......2007-06-11

Ok, here's the deal with Powder.... Apparently the guy who wrote and directed it was convicted as a child molester!!!! Oh my gawd! Yeah. True story. My wife won't even entertain the thought of watching this movie lest she become tainted by some underlining pedophile message transcoded in the subtext of the movie. Hmmmm. I remember way back when this movie came out and I saw the preview at the theater. I kinda wanted to see it. But then the whole child-molester thing came to surface and years went by. Well, I finally bout it of Amazon for like five bucks and I gave it a try. Know whart? It was pretty damn good. Sure the whole freaky-looking outcast with super powers thing has been done, but this was a decent flick. Jeff Goldblum and Steenburgen co-star. Sean Michael Flannery is fantastic as Powder in all his shy, wounded frailty. Overall, I liked it. So... push the whole sex-offender thing asidE and give Powder a try. You won't be disappointed.

Dig it!

I have no hair, but I didn't like this movie.......2007-06-06

I, like Powder, do not grow hair. Actually, unlike powder, I have no eyelashes. I'm not albino though.

In my life I have never encountered such generic hostility as powder was subjected to..

For being such a genius powder certainly did not show it. I don't remember him saying anything even remotely smart. He had a nice memory and apparently scored well on some lame test? However, he didn't show any smarts where it counts....

For a character with such powerful empathy (telepathy would actually be the much more accurate word here) he was annoyingly whiny, angry, and obnoxious. I understand that he had been sheltered his entire life, but his character had absolutely no depth or complexity whatsoever. His lines are complete cliche.

Every person in the film is a lame and shallow caricature.

The message of the movie is a good one, but a couple sentences would get it across just as effectively as this two hour movie.

To me this movie is simple pulp, nothing more and nothing less.

Powder is excellent...........2007-04-16

this movie points out to us that which we are all capable of...a moving reminder of our own preciousness...

In the ongoing deluge of comic-book adaptations, Hellboy ranks well above average. Having turned down an offer to helm Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in favor of bringing Hellboy's origin story to the big screen, the gifted Mexican director Guillermo del Toro compensates for the excesses of Blade II with a moodily effective, consistently entertaining action-packed fantasy, beginning in 1944 when the mad monk Rasputin--in cahoots with occult-buff Hitler and his Nazi thugs--opens a transdimensional portal through which a baby demon emerges, capable of destroying the world with his powers. Instead, the aptly named Hellboy is raised by the benevolent Prof. Bloom, founder of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, whose allied forces enlist the adult Hellboy (Ron Perlman, perfectly cast) to battle evil at every turn. While nursing a melancholy love for the comely firestarter Liz (Selma Blair), Hellboy files his demonic horns ("to fit in," says Bloom) and wreaks havoc on the bad guys. The action is occasionally routine (the movie suffers when compared to the similar X-Men blockbusters), but del Toro and Perlman have honored Mike Mignola's original Dark Horse comics with a lavish and loyal interpretation, retaining the amusing and sympathetic quirks of character that made the comic-book Hellboy a pop-culture original. He's red as a lobster, puffs stogies like Groucho Marx, and fights the good fight with a kind but troubled heart. What's not to like? --Jeff Shannon

this movie rocks!.......2007-09-02

I love this movie soo much! If you like action movies you will not be disappointed! The best movie ever!!!

Ron Perlman OWNZ.......2007-06-01

I was surprised how decent this move is. There are a lot of obvious similaities with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The strong point is that Ron Perlman's Hellboy has a ton of personality, that you only see tantalizing flickers of during the rather brisk storyline. Hellboy is your usual smartmouth, rugged toughguy. It's impossible not to think he's cool.

Rasputin is in league with Satan or something, and want's to unleash hell on Earth. He has a stereotypical Nazi chick with a bad accent with him, and a Cyber-Nazi who also can't die. They are all pretty lame villains, although Rasputin looks cool. Selma Blair is enchanting as Liz, the flame girl. For such an underdog Superhero movie, the costume effects are impressive. Abe Sapien is a crazy-looking undersea mer-man or something. Not to sound old (I'm 22), but it's amazing what they can do with face prosthetics. You never doubt for a second that's Hellboy's REAL FACE. This movie is worth at least a look.

Want more Hellboy?.......2007-03-31

So, you've seen the HELLBOY live action movie, and/or the animated material, loved it, and are thirsting for more tales of the red skinned chief investigator of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense? Lucky for you there are several items currently available that should (at least temporarily) quench your thirst.

If you'd like to relive the movie, try the HELLBOY novelization, by Yvonne Navarro. Navarro is an old hand at adapting screen properties, both large and small (she's done several BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER books, plus novelizations of SPECIES I and II) and can be counted on to do so in a readable and entertaining manner. Her work on HELLBOY is no exception. Writing from director Guillermo del Toro's script, and adding in her own little extras based on her intimate knowledge of the source material (she even gets HELLBOY's alternative spelling of "pancakes," substituting "m" for "n", correct), she produces a faithful adaptation of the movie. If you like her HELLBOY book, you might also sample some of Navarro's original novels. Books like AFTERAGE and MIRROR ME (available from The Overlook Connection Press), THAT'S NOT MY NAME, FINAL IMPACT, and RED SHADOWS are all well worth your time and money.

If you wish to explore the comics that inspired the film, there are several reasonably priced HELLBOY collections available from Dark Horse Comics. The movie's main inspiration comes from HELLBOY: SEED OF DESTRUCTION, written and drawn by HELLBOY 's creator, Mike Mignola, with an able assist from the venerable John Byrne of Superman and X-Men fame. HELLBOY: CONQUEROR WORM explores ideas Mignola touched on in SEED OF DESTRUCTION, finally explaining the origins of the strange race of aliens who appeared in that story.

If you like those, you can sample HELLBOY: WAKE THE DEVIL, HELLBOY: THE CHAINED COFFIN, and HELLBOY: THE RIGHT HAND OF DOOM. WAKE THE DEVIL is one long story, the other two volumes present several stand alone short stories which explore world mythology and folklore (THE CHAINED COFFIN features "The Corpse", an amusing tale whose events feature prominently in the movie). To see how other folks handle HELLBOY and his eclectic supporting cast, try BPRD: HOLLOW EARTH AND OTHER STORIES, and HELLBOY: WEIRD TALES.

If plain old prose is what floats your boat, there are several worthy original HELLBOY novels, among them HELLBOY: ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HELL by Brian Hodge, HELLBOY: THE GOD MACHINE by Thomas Sniegoski, HELLBOY: UNNATURAL SELECTION by Tim Lebbon, and three by Christopher Golden (of OF SAINTS AND SHADOWS fame), namely HELLBOY: THE LOST ARMY, HELLBOY: THE BONES OF GIANTS, and HELLBOY: THE DRAGON POOL. Golden also ably edited HELLBOY: ODD JOBS, an anthology featuring short stories by the likes of the aforementioned Brian Hodge, Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy Collins, Greg Rucka, and Chet Williamson.

Excellent film.......2007-03-17

Great casting. Good plot. Oustanding special effects and character makeup for Hellboy (Ron Pearlman). A must for action film lovers. Buy it!

Great super hero movie.......2007-01-30

I really liked this movie. I thought it was a great super hero movie that had some humor built into it. It was well told and the characters were well developed. The special effects were great too!! I am not one for comic book heros, but this one confinced me otherwise. I recommend this movie to anyone that wants to see a good over evil story that was orginally a comic book character.

Tod Browning, who directed Bela Lugosi in the original Dracula, stepped into even eerier territory with this 1932 story of betrayal and retribution in the circus. Evil trapeze artist Olga Baclanova seduces and marries a midget in the circus sideshow, hoping to inherit his wealth. But in doing so, she has crossed the wrong folks: the tightly knit group of nature's aberrations, who stick together like family--and who set out to avenge their little pal. Browning brought in some of the most famous sideshow attractions of the era, include Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton and Johnny Eck the Legless Boy, as well as Zip and Pip, microcephalics whose appearance in this film inspired cartoonist Bill Griffith to create his comic strip, "Zippy the Pinhead." So disturbing that it was banned for 30 years in Great Britain. --Marshall Fine

FREAKS! It's one of a kind. FREAKS! Boggles the imagination
FREAKS! Not to be missed. FREAKS! I'm already one so how
bad can it be(don't answer that). Freaks is a wonderful film
it was made in 31 and released in 32. It's the story of
circus/sideshow performers and their lives. You have the caterpiller
man who roles his cigs. with his teeth. Two sisters who are joined
at the hip,one is married and the other one had just got engaged
to whereas the fiance say's to the other sis.husband..I guess
I'll be seeing you around! You have the real life dual sex person
one actor comments..I guess she likes you,but he don't referring
to the same person was funny. This is a movie and in no way a
documenatary on SPECIAL people. It did not last long at the box
office,and was banned in ENGLAND for over 20 years. This movie
has a heart and soul of it's own. Alejandro Jodorsky has stated
in a book on film,that this is one of his FAV. Rarely screened
in the states,it has a cult status of it's own. And was voted
number 1 cult film of ALL time. Come watch the LIL person
pour his heart out to the beautiful trapeze artist..just to
just to...Well I don't want to give away the ending now do I.
NO! You'll just have to buy the movie that John Waters said

Reviled and in some places banned on release, Tod Browning's horror classic is like nothing else you'll ever see-bizarre, bold, and altogether brilliant. A standard soap opera premise is elevated by the conceit of "normal" people as villains, "freaks" as heroes. Browning gets the most out of his unusual cast, mostly non-actors, and creates an eerie, chill-inducing atmosphere throughout. Don't miss that knockout climax.

Gooble Gobble Gooble Gobble WE Accept Her We Accept Her One of Us One of Us!.......2007-05-31

The Freaks in this movie were not the only things freaky in this movie. One of the funnier scenes in this movie was the party where the Freaks began to chant, "Gooble Gobble Gooble Gobble WE Accept Her We Accept Her One of Us One of Us!". How wild and inventive this was. The Freaks in this movie were some unusual people to be sure but they had good hearts. the acting was wooden I suspect but to me it just added to the realness of the movie.

Freaks was a movie about basic good and evil. Freaks showed that those the world considered most different held the same basic humane values most of us hold dear. Yes the unique folk in the movie were different but but they were more humane and honorable than the strong man and trappese artist.

I love this Freaks Movie because, being autistic I like people who are different. I like that this Freaks movie has a very positive message while being lots of fun to watch. I wished we had the complete original version. I pray somewhere a complete original copy with its original shiocking ending is found. My research tells me in the original ending of Freaks the Strong man was condemned to a life as a high pitched sapprano as a result of injury to his, "pride". The lady trapeese artist became a odd ball freak in the form of half Duck half lady.

Enjoy this movie there is plenty of meaning and laughs in the plot.

This is not a "OH,WOW! You gotta see this!", but it was definitely a one of a kind. I like how they portrayed the "freaks" as the normal people. It's just overall an interesting movie.

This is really a one of a kind movie. Creepy atmosphere abounds in this carnival freak show setting, the use of real "Freaks" adds greatly to this bizarre tale of revenge. The DVD transfer is very good and a worthy purchase.

STAY AWAY FROM UWE BOLL.......2007-09-17

I had high hopes for this movie. I love the games, so I was sure the movie would be great. Then I heard who made it: a crazy German diector by the name of Uwe Boll. Oh my god. I cried. Uwe Boll can't even make a t.v. commercial. What makes him think he can make movies?! The only good thing about this movie is that we get to see(in a very hilarious love scene) Kristana Loken's bare chest. That's it! The action is just the actor's running around with swords and some of the top name actor's are playing horrendous roles. Ben Kingsly?? WHY ARE YOU IN THIS FILM? Michael Madsen? WHY? I can't even describe in full detail why this movie's bad. In short, STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T!

Absolutely terrible.......2007-08-21

Wow, is this movie a piece of crap. The plot has something to do with vampires, vampire hunters and a half human/half vampire. None of it really matters because the movie is so bad. It's supposed to be the 16th century but I always felt I was watching people in costumes on a set. There is nothing believable in this movie. The effects are badly done, the acting is terrible but then the words they have to say contribute to it. As for the directing, who is Uwe Boll and why do people give him money to make films? It was no surprise to see Michael "anything for a paycheck" Madsen here but what was oscar winner Ben Kingsley doing in this dog turd?

Pretty much what others said.......2007-07-18

One star for the movie, three stars for the game. Warning to those Blood Rayne fans, no this is not even Rayne, she's not really that cool. Not Kristanna's fault.

The game is a bit hard to handle for PC game, I had to reconfigure my key bindings to fit my style. Perhaps it's my frist time on action game after since I stopped playing super nintendo, I got a little rusted and took me no less than 10 tries just to beat the first boss. Rayne in the game, is just cool like freezing tundra of Northrend and hot like infernal nine hell of baator.

Since my video card is pretty outdated I couldn't give any scores on graphics but the game content itself worths 3 stars comparing to others of same genre.

Yes, I bought it just for the game.

Somebody kill me!.......2007-07-17

I rented this movie entirely for the box cover. Kristanna Loken is an eyeful of eye candy but no amount of physical beauty can save this disaster. My chihuahua/jack russel speaks better dialogue. Want to watch a hottie heroine? Go with ULTRAVIOLET, FIFTH ELEMENT, RESIDENT EVIL, ELEKTRA. Do NOT buy this movie...do not even RENT it!

Just Didn't Work, What's Going on UWE BOLL !!.......2007-07-15

Being an aspiring film maker myself, I don't know why Uwe Boll cannot make a decent movie. Every movie he has made has just been HORRIBLE FLOPS !! "House of the Dead" could have been good, but NO. "Alone in the Dark" just sucked. This movie was not good, it was suppose to be Kristanna Loken's breakout film from the T3 shadow if I remember right, but NO. Now it up to the "Painkiller Jane" TV series, and I don't think thats woking for her. Rayne could have been good, with more blood sucking action, more fight sequences, more effects, more nudity ( since Loken likes that !), and sex & violence. If all that was put in the movie it probably should have lasted a little longer, for gamer fans. I will say that the best part of the film for me was the sex scene, with Loken, when she broke out of her prison and "raped" her love interest, as a man that's what you dream of. This film just didn't work in anyway, I like some dumb movies, and this wasn't even that. Maybe if it didn't try to be serious, it would have been OK. BE LOOKING OUT FOR SEQUELS TO BLOODRAYNE AND ALONE IN THE DARK. OH, UWE !!!

Jack is Francis Coppola at his most pointless noodling, looking for the film he wants to make instead of just making it. Robin Williams stars as 10-year-old Jack, a boy with an inexplicable disease that ages him at four times the normal human rate. Kept at home like a contemporary Boo Radley, Jack becomes a neighborhood legend until his parents relent and send him to school. In time, the other kids befriend him and stay loyal as his hyperdevelopment puts a strain on his body and emotions. The idea is sound, but the execution is a bore. The best the script and Coppola can come up with are painfully long scenes in which Williams's character proves himself on the playground and in gross-out contests in a tree house. Coppola fishes around for signs of life and spontaneity in these scenes, but the film is actually best when Jack has to cope with certain feelings in his mature body (such as his attraction to a character played by Fran Drescher) that he isn't prepared for emotionally. Jack would have been a lot better if Coppola had embraced a plan from beginning to end and stuck to it. --Tom Keogh

Jack.......2007-07-10

This is a good movie to instill compassion. We need to be reminded in an optimistic manner that we are not all alike and that each has their own thing to deal with in this life. It is not a free ride but it can be a beautiful ride.

One of my favorite movies!!.......2007-06-01

I remember watching this movie when I was younger (8, 9, 10 years old) and laughing so hard. Robin Williams is hilarious in this movie!

So what's this movie about? Jack is a 10 year old boy that was born with a disease that caused his body to age 4 times faster than normal. Yet, his brain stays the same. In essence, Jack is a typical 10 year old boy in a not so typical 40 year old body. Jack's parents try to keep him away from school and other kids because they fear that the teasing will be too much for him. When Jack begs his parents to go and they finally end up letting him, he unfortunately sees that the other kids don't like kids who look different. Eventually, the kids see that although Jack LOOKS different, he still is a 10 year old kid at heart.

Although I wouldn't recommend this movie for younger kids, older kids and adults should LOVE this movie. Not only does it teach a thing or two, it also is a really entertaining movie that will make you laugh and cry; two elements that truly make the perfect movie.

Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!.......2007-01-10

I find this to be one of the finest Robin Williams dramatic/comedic performance. I enjoyed it immensely. Robin Williams portrays Jack Powell, a boy who suffers from a disease that ages him 4 times faster than normal. Just image a 10 year old boy with the body of a 40year old & with the comedy of Robin Williams! School is really a hassle!

Jack is great.......2006-12-12

Jack is the kind of movie that will make you remember how much fun it was to be a child, and interestingly enough, it will also remind you how difficult it was to fit in and become friends with the other children. Robin Williams plays an excellent role in this film. His character is totally believable. Just imagine what would happen if a 40-year old man tried going back to school with children? The way the children responded to it would probably be the same response if such an incident were to happen in real life. You will love this movie, especially if you're an adult who loves movies that are both funny and contain good drama.

It teaches the value of time and small things in life .......2006-07-03

One of the best William's movies,it'll make you cry, laugh, and think about how lucky you are of being normal and healthy and how valuable are love and time in the life of some people.
Excellent movie to be seen in family or alone (if you are ashamed of crying in front of other people)I loved this movie

Customer Reviews:

With the Crowes it's about the music...as always.......2007-06-30

I laugh out loud when i read the reviews of anyone who says this sucks or it's not as good as it could have been. The Crowes put the music first! No big fanfare, no fireworks, no gimmicks! It could be said the Black Crowes are the opposite of Kiss. Both bands give you your moneys worth, but with the Crowes its the music. No spectacle, no posturing and best of all NO Pretense! This shows the band with their best line up at the top of their game. That being said, I would have prefered to watch the band during the extended jamms instead of them walking around town. Also, I would have liked to see a longer soundcheck...but those are small gripes because the rest of this DVD is just awesome classic rock done with a style and class most bands don't have a clue about. I've seen the Crowes live several times and with different members and I just have to say I'm totally impressed with this DVD...Crowes fans have been waiting a long time for this and we were not dissapointed...you can play this for your children(it's not angry or weird) and you could play it for your folks(they won't say 'what the hell is this?)...this is what music and watching music should be...REAL!

Good Crowes Performance.......2006-11-05

This one is pretty straight forward - the band comes out, plays their set and then good night. The song selection was representative of the best of the albums with Mark Ford on guitar with a few extras and some from the first album. They did em pretty much note for note with a little jam band stuff in the middle of some songs. I could have lived without the montage segments durning the jams. The back stage extras were OK but not really worth revisiting. A few with Kate Hudson hanging out with the band. This is a good overview of the Black Crowes and a solid performance. I don't regret the purchase and have watched it many times over by this point, as I am a big fan of their music.

Great live band captured........2006-09-25

The Black Crowes certainly never treaded any new territory, musically speaking...and they never claimed to. All they do is play great rock-n-roll, and they do it very well. This relatively inexpensive dvd captures them intimately. The sound is very good, and there are very few cheesy film effects in this dvd. What you get is a classic rock band performing their songs. No gimmicks. For $15 usd, you can't go wrong.

If you are a Black Crowes fan, you will love this!.......2006-07-27

I was at this concert and couldn't wait unitl this DVD came out. The Fillmore is such an awesome venue and the concert was one of the best Black Crowes concerts I've ever been to. The setlist is great and to see them up close doing there're thing is very cool. Lots of shots of San Francisco. This is a great music DVD. Highly recommended.

well i knew it.......2006-07-26

well i knew it. first off, I like to LISTEN to this band. but in a concert, borrrrringggggggg. not much going on here, all just jammed on a small stage, plugging along.

And Chris, how DOES these guys get the babes? I have a cousin that looks pretty close to him, greasy hair beard and all. and my cousin sings kinda of, not even as good, but still, he is a real nice guy. and his chicks? haha, looks nothing like Goldies daughter! oh wait, he is middle class wages, yea like that has nothing to do with it! hahaha.

but anyway, glad I bought the dvd, just to see, even tho I had a feeling it was going to be boring no action like this. better on dvd money than concert money! music is cool tho, jam it when its on the radio

Listened with Sennheiser 595's, the best that I have found, had 555 for a couple years they are nice too, but cant touch 595's, pay the dif and see, er I mean hear.

In the grand tradition of atomic-age monster movies, Eight Legged Freaks delivers everything you'd want from a giant-spider thriller. The plot's hardly original, but familiarity is half the fun, beginning when toxic waste results in a stampede of gigantic, ravenous arachnids in the depressed mining town of Liberty, Arizona. David Arquette is Liberty's prodigal son, returning to save the town from greedy developers, and to reunite with the lovely local sheriff (Kari Wuhrer), whom he never stopped loving. Before long they're saving the town from a teeming horde of jumbo-size "jumpers," "orb-weavers," tarantulas, and other eight-legged beasties, brought to life by digital effects that are consistently fantastic. Though not quite as witty as the similarly exciting Tremors, this "arach-attack" offers a deft balance of creepy shocks, sight gags, and tongue-in-cheek satire. Cleverly expanding his New Zealand short "Larger Than Life," first-time director Ellory Elkayem gives genre fans and arachnophobes a giddy nightmare they won't soon forget. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Residents of a rural mining town discover that an unfortunate chemical spill has caused hundreds of little spiders to mutate overnight to the size of SUVs. Movie tagline: Do you hate spiders? Do you really hate spiders? Well they don't like you either.

Customer Reviews:

GREAT movie!.......2007-06-24

Creepy, fun, edge-of-the-seat movie that I would never part with! I've watched it several times already. This movie made me fond of David Arquette, who I couldn't stand before I saw this movie. The characters are fun and endearing, and I love when David yells the title line of the movie out! Funny every time. Buy it if you like good, clean spookiness. It's a must have!

The most important movie since Pulp Fiction.......2007-06-07

This movie is so intense and pulse pounding I almost cried. It is filled with suspense and horror scenes that you will have nightmares for nights. When I saw the spider in the pop-tent, I threw my shoes across the theater in glee.

Best spider movie of all time!.......2007-04-22

Hands down, this is the best spider movie out there to this day. Its funny, sometimes scray, and action pack, and along for the ride are terrific special effects. Believe or not, the spiders 'talk'. Well, they don't really talk, all they really make are squeaky voices, which are supposed to be their 'talking' voice. Anyway, the film doesn't take its self seriously. And thank god it doesn't. If it had, it would have sucked balls. Check this creature feature, you won't be disapponted.

PS: I'm over 13, but I figured this was easier. Oh and by the way, I'm beggining to write the sequel.

A hilarious and fun throwback to the 50's giant insect monster movies.......2007-04-18

In 2002 there came a film in the tail end of that year's summer blockbuster film season which took me by surprise. The movie I'm talking about is Eight-Legged Freaks. It was from Kiwi-born director Ellory Elkayem and he did a wonderful job of bringing back just a small peek at those fun 1950's giant monster and insect movies like Them! and a host of others.

The movie pretty much follows the same conventions as those old-time monster movies. It has the smart and bookish teenage boy whose love for all things spiders will come in handy as the movie moves along. Then there's the eccentric and creepy loner who collects spiders and learns that the water he has been giving them has now been tainted by toxic chemicals from a drum container that has fallen into a nearby river during transport. This river and the creek it feeds is right next to a down-and-out mining Arizona town, ironically named Prosperity. The movie wouldn't be complete without the arrival of its prodigal son, Chris McCormick (played with quite a bit of understatement by the usual over-the-top David Arquette) whose father used to own the gold mines which the town relied on for its economy.

With a reluctant hero comes the woman he left behind and pined for years ago, but now much older and with kids of her own from a previous marriage. Kari Wuhrer --- of MTV and B-movie fame --- plays Samantha Parker. McCormick's love interest who also happens to be Prosperity's current town sheriff and single mother to the aforementioned teenage boy with the thing for spiders and nubile teen daughter Ashley (played by pre-superstardom Scarlett Johansson). Then there's Wade, the town mayor whose failing Ostrich farm and unused megamall is leading him to sell the town wholesale to some nameless giant corporation.

With the basic plot set and characters introduced all hell breakloose as toxic-mutated spiders grow to giant proportions and begin to terrorize and devour the townspeople. At first, it's isolated attacks until their numbers grown in size and they attack the town itself en masse. This may be a B-movie but it sure had great CGI-effects when it came to the giant arachnids and how they behaved on the screen. The many different types of giant spiders ended up having distinct personalities to distinguish themselves from each other. From the tank-like tarantula to the agile Jumping Spiders and the cunning trapdoor spiders. In fact, these spiders were also given some sort of voice which sounded like chipmunks on helium as they screeched, yipped and screamed their way around the screen.

Eight-Legged Freaks is not something great to write mom home about, but it is a fun movie to sit through, especially one full of teenagers who seem to scream and shout the loudest. This is a type of movie that actually needs a rowdy audience to really entertain. There's really no need to follow the dialogue since most of it is quite forgettable. The action on the screen from the giant spiders chasing motocross-riding teens and their attack on the townspeople at the megamall does well without the need of extraneous dialogue.

Ellory Elkayem did a great job in making Eight-Legged Freaks not just a fun movie but also a throwback to the 50's monster movies that we see now on syndication. This movie showed Elkayem had great potential as a genre filmmaker. It's a shame he had to follow up Eight-Legged Freaks with two very awful and forgettable sequels to the Return of the Living Dead franchise. I'm still hoping that he can rebound from that double-debacle and make more fun monster movies.

TOO MUCH SPOOF SINKS THIS "COULD OF BEEN GREAT" HORROR FILM.......2007-04-14

The biggest problem with this film is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a horror movie? Is it a comedy? Is it a campy spoof? It is all three,but not enough of any one of them. If they would have changed the spider sound effects to be more threatening, rather than sounding like Gizmo from Gremlins, this would have been a very scary and good movie. It seems to me the action didn't fit the sound effects and really sank this one for me. Too bad as it had a lot of potential. The short that inspired this movie "Larger than Life" is included on the DVD and is way better than the feature film because it takes itself a little more seriously.

Equal parts punk and psychedelia, the Flaming Lips emerged from Oklahoma City as one of the most bracing bands of the late 1980's. The Fearless Freaks documents their rise from Butthole Surfers-imitating noisemakers to grand poobahs of orchestral pop masterpieces. Filmmaker Bradley Beesely had the good fortune of living in the same neighborhood as lead Lip Wayne Coyne, who quickly enlisted his buddy to document his band's many concerts and assorted exploits. The early footage is a riot, with tragic hair styles on proud display as the boys attempt to cover up their lack of natural talent with sheer volume. During one show, they even have a friend bring a motorcycle on stage, which is then miked for sound and revved throughout the performance, clearing the club with toxic levels of carbon monoxide. Great punk rock stuff. Interspersed among the live bits are interviews with the band's family and friends, revealing the often tragic circumstances of their childhoods and early career.

By the time the film reaches the late '90s, Coyne's band has witnessed a number of personnel changes, most notably the introduction of drummer and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd. It's here that the Flaming Lips begin their ascent into greatness. Fueled by the alt-pop hit "She Don't Use Jelly," the band enters an era of intense experimentation, conducting a symphony for car stereos in a parking garage, releasing a 4-disc album meant to be played simultaneously, and embarking on the creation of their first masterpiece, The Soft Bulletin. Sadly, Steven Drozd's demons keep pace with the band's success. In an incredibly heartbreaking scene, Drozd talks frankly about his addiction while preparing to shoot heroin. Fortunately, Drozd kicks his habit as the Lips enter the studio for their follow-up, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and the film ends with the band enjoying widespread acclaim as they deliver one extravagant show after another. There are some conspicuous absences in this tale, notably their weird and lucky break appearing on '80s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210 and their tour as openers and backing band for Beck. The bonus disc includes some cool outtakes and performances, but unfortunately none of the band's vibrant music videos. -- Ryan Boudinot

A Brilliant Documentary About An Innovative Band and Life..........2007-01-10

What can I say? The Flaming Lips are one of the greatest bands ever and most innovative and unique bands to ever walk the planet. This film shows all the struggles and brilliance of all the members and how they came about to become The Flaming Lips. All are so greatly talented in their own ways. But all so humble, friendly, and lovers of life. I have to give it up to Wayne, what a great overall guy.

I love the acoustic performance of "Psychiatric Explorations Of The Fetus With Needles". Yeah, strange title...but listen to that song and just the mood and energy of it will make life seem happy no matter what.

This one is a classic, go out and buy it.

Wonderful Intimate Portrayal (with plenty of bunny rabbits!).......2006-10-24

This is a wonderful film, and one can tell that it's definitely a labor of love.

I must say that I was disturbed by the drug use scene with Stephen. However, this is because I am a former addict. But I still think it was unnecessary to be so graphic; but he truly shared the perils of heroin addiction in the most real way.

I do wonder how the movie will turn out. I can't believe the amount of energy Wayne possesses toward his projects. I found him to be a great role model (I am an artist myself, and quite lazy by comparison).

Only one more complaint. Like in many documentaries, they will tease you with the beginning of a wonderful song, then speak over it, or cut away. I could have used less talk and more music, since this is what the documentary is ultimately about; well beside their lives and the creative process.

I highly recommend this film. Oh, and yes, it is a bit too long; but it only proves how engaged the filmmaker is in the project.

Discover the roots of the Lips philosophy.......2006-09-26

Home videos from the 70's and candid interviews give a great incite of how the Flaming Lips philosophy came about. It is difficult to watch this DVD without wanting to jump up, go out and change the world.

A wild ride you never knew existed.......2006-04-22

I had no idea that the history of the Flaming Lips could be so cool, touching, and odd. It's a great viewing, for huge fans or people new to the group.

One of the best rockumentry's I've seen .......2006-04-02

Along with Belle & Sebastian's "Fans Only" DVD, this is best rockumentry I've seen. Very rarley does one of these thigs leave you with a complete feeling at the ending, like you got your money's worth. That has to do with the cooperation the band had in making this DVD.
