I belief a lot about this review.

I’m an animation buff, so I can well say that this film received the maximum scandalous on animation – the amount of details and concept that was save into every movement and shot is admirable, and the result shows. It is definite that the animators did an satisfactory job – even went down to details such as having the muscles of the dinosaurs vibrate when the foot hits the floor. Sometimes I actually forgot that this was an animation movie, and mistook it for a National Geographic feature.

The account, on the other hand, is rather disappointing. It seems like the development process stopped after the memoir became reasonable. The characters are only skin-deep, and it is frustrating for someone who had already seen a couple of movies before that this one brings nothing original to the shroud. It’s murky to view so many ‘deja vu’s while watching, seeing so many thing that you have already seen before, especially that the main character – Aladar – is an orphan dinosaur raised by monkeys, carries a finish resemblance to Disney’s previous feature, Tarzan.

Two thumbs up for the music – it really hits the dwelling. The composer captured every moment so naturally that it fits like a glove. Nothing I say can recount the impression, so you might as well observe it for yourself.

All in all, an fabulous animation feature with a venerable status. This film – in itself – receives 4 stars from me, although if I had calculated my impression on the Collector’s edition, I would have definitely lowered it to 3. It simply wasn’t worth the extra money I added. The second DVD contains very limited material, and I really expected more from a highly documented production such as this one to include more material. People capture this item to come by more information about the animation process, and I really feel like I wanted more. I really reflect that I should have bought the regular edition and saved some cash.

I am not definite what critics were expecting when they shot this movie down. It is a fun and enthralling adventure for children and adults alike. It may be a dinky too scary for children under 6, so be warned. Let’s earn one thing straight, folks. Dinosaur is a movie for CHILDREN. So, don’t go in expecting to peek the second coming of Jurassic Park. The movie does offer quick-witted CGI special effects and breathtaking scenery. I like the memoir for kids because it stresses teamwork and the value of every individual. The lead character, an Iguanadon named Aladar, is very likeable and I found myself rooting for him time and again. Was the movie expensive? Yes. Is it one of Disney’s best ever? No. BUT, it is fun and spellbinding. There are SO many movies out there for adults. This one is a winner for kids. Don’t cheat your kids out of enjoying it because they will.

Chili Palmer: Shylock, Movie Producer
A loan shark from Florida, who loves movies and winds up in Hollywood on a collection job, decides to take a shot at the movie business while he’s there, in “Get Shorty,” directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Dark humor and richly textured characters drive this story of Chili Palmer (John Travolta), the shylock from Miami Beach who aspires to a life beyond keeping a book for thugs, in this faithful adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. When circumstances take him to Las Vegas to look for one Leo Devoe (David Paymer), a dry-cleaner in debt up to his eyeballs who blew town after an airline scam, Chili goes on to Hollywood to do a favor for the casino operator who tipped him off as to Leo’s whereabouts. The “favor” is contacting film director Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman) who has payment overdue on a note issued to him by the casino. Zimm has made a name for himself (at least in his own mind) by directing horror movies; but he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. Ultimately, Chili gets involved with Zimm and actress Karen Flores (Rene Russo), who has starred in some of Zimm’s horror flicks, as well as with two time Academy Award nominee Martin Weir (Danny DeVito), the “shorty” of the title. Chili is finally in his element, but his Miami Beach days are not yet behind him; there’s still some settling up to do according to one Ray “Bones” Barboni (Dennis Farina), owner of the book kept by Chili in Florida. Travolta not only goes the distance here, but creates a definitive character in Chili; even as Sean Connery is James Bond, and Basil Rathbone is Sherlock Holmes, Travolta “is” Chili Palmer. With nuance and charisma, he does this guy from the inside out. He has the look and the mannerisms; he walks the walk and talks the talk. And nobody in the history of the cinema has used a cigarette as a prop better than he does in this movie. It’s a commanding, Oscar-worthy performance, every bit as good (possibly even better) than the role of Vincent he created in “Pulp Fiction.” His presence simply dominates the film, and he’s up against some stiff competition, because this movie is filled with great characters. Not only Hackman, who does a terrific job as Zimm, but Russo, who sizzles, and DeVito, who adds some real flair as the “Movie Star,” and Farina, whose toughness and lack of wit make him a memorable character. Also exceptional are Delroy Lindo, as Bo Catlett, a thug and wanna-be movie producer, James Gandolfini, as “Bear,” a stuntman who works with Catlett, and Jon Gries as Ronnie, a “Hollywood” style tough guy who also works with Catlett. Sonnenfeld did a great job of bringing this world of “Get Shorty” to life. The story is interesting and delivered with outstanding dialogue and plenty of action, all of which Sonnenfeld keeps moving at a perfect pace and with impeccable timing. This is one thoroughly enjoyable, funny movie that absolutely begs for a sequel. In recommending it, I have to borrow one of Chili Palmer’s best lines: “Look at me.” Because that says it all. This is one movie you don’t want to miss.

Witty, funny movie gets the “special” treatment
It takes a loan shark leading the way to make Hollywood honest. “Get Shorty” returns in a new 2 disc “Collector’s Edition” DVD just in time for the sequel “Too Cool” which will be premiering in theaters in March. Translating Elmore Leonard’s novels to the screen can be a tricky business luckily both screenwriter Scott Frank and director Barry Sonnenfeld are both up to the task with an inventive dark comedic film. Chili Palmer (John Travolta) heads west to collect a debt from down-and-out B-movie producer Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman). When Harry can’t pay, Chili opts to help him make a movie about, well, Chili Palmer. The catch is that Chili and Harry need a star to make their movie viable. Chili quickly finds that the film business shares a lot in common with the world of organized crime. Chili romances B-Movie queen Karen Flores (Rene Russo) an ex- of Harry’s and persuades film star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) to star in the film but not before running into a Cadillac of very funny mishaps along the way. Featuring a great performances from Dennis Farina as the clueless Ray `Bones’ Barboni, Travolta, Hackman, Russo, DeVito and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini, “Get Shorty” positively sparkles with wit and energy.

Sporting a new high definition transfer “Get Shorty” looks simply marvelous. With a sharp looking transfer showing a minimum of digital artifacts and no analog flaws, “Get Shorty” deserves the deluxe treatment. The image has amazing depth and an image sharper than Chili’s aim. The colors practically leap out from the screen brighter than Harry Zimm’s blindingly white teeth from the moment the pink and blue titles pop up on the screen until the moment we hear “cut” at the end. With blacks richer and darker than Chili’s stolen coat, MGM has done a superb job of translating this modern classic to DVD. The crystal clear sound comes across with more presence than B-Movie queen Karen Flores’ screams.

Extras are exceptionally good in this “Special Edition”. It’s like having seconds of a terrific desert; while no one really needs it, it’s great to have just the same. We get a number of notable extras as part of this rich meal. The second disc has three featurettes on different aspects of the film, the deleted “Graveyard Scene”, outtakes, the “Get Shorty” party reel, a documentary from Bravo Channel on the making of the movie and a sneak peak at “Be Cool”. “Get Shorty: Look at Me” opens the book on how Elmore Leonard came up with the plot for “Get Shorty” and developed the idea. DeVito, Travolta, Hackman, Russo, Sonnenfeld and other key cast and crew participate in this featurette on the production of the film. Full of clips from the movie to illustrate the points made throughout the featurette, it’s a great summation of the greatness of this film. It’s a 30 minute love fest reminding fans why they love this movie so much. The 20 minute “Get Shorty: Wise Guys and Dolls” focuses on the fun, complex characters of the movie. “The Graveyard Scene” featurette allows Sonnenfeld to comment on the single deleted scene of the movie included the hilarious, well, graveyard scene. Featuring a funny cameo with Ben Stiller, Sonnenfeld clearly regretted cutting the scene but Sonnenfeld couldn’t find a place for sequence where it fit. The behind-the-scenes stuff and interviews last longer than the actual scene itself. “Going Again” features footage from outtakes and a discussion from Sonnenfeld about the technique of using long takes, pulling out the best bits and putting it together to make magic. The sneak peak for “Be Cool” promises that the sequel to “Get Shorty” promises to be as funny as the first film. Set in the music business, it may not be more than a promo piece for the film but it gives viewers enough of a taste to rope `em in.

Bravo’s “Page to Screen” documentary featuring Peter Gallagher features plenty of interviews with critics, other writers and focuses as much on how Elmore Leonard comes up with the material in his books, writes them and, once again, takes us behind-the-scenes of the production of the movie. The real treat is hearing from the real Chili Palmer discussing the “reel” Chili Palmer and Leonard’s character. The “Party Reel” mainly consists of bits and piece of cut footage and behind-the-scenes stuff nothing earth shattering or all that funny. In addition to the “Get Shorty” theatrical trailer and we get two promos one for “Fargo” and one for “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”. My only complaint is the MGM “promo” opener that they put on ALL of their DVDs. It’s annoying and, unfortunately, there’s no way to pass it by. It’s a pretty minor issue but the fact that it’s on all of their DVDs makes it a real pain.

A dry, witty commentary by Barry Sonnenfeld highlights this disc. The only drawback is the lack of participation of Travolta, Hackman, Russo and DeVito. I realize they have busy schedules but it would have been a real highlight and perfect addition to this DVD.

A hip, funny comedy that continues to deliver in spades, “Get Shorty” looks terrific, sounds great and has some terrific special features. This is an example of a re-release that’s worth upgrading. Definitely worth owing on DVD and purchasing a second time if you love the movie. This IS the version to own.

You Just Got to Get “Get Shorty”!
“Get Shorty ” in my opinion is one of the most hilarious send ups of the Hollywood movie industry ever put to film.Director, Barry Sonnenfeld and writer, Elmore Leonard have put their talents together to create a satirical film, which ‘takes no prisoners’ in its look at the underhanded ways, that folks wheel and deal to get movies made.The film centers on a charismatic mobster (John Travolta), who while on a trip to L.A., decides to switch careers. He wants to make movies!This is not as far fetched as it seems. Apparently being a movie producer isn’t that far of a jump from being a loan shark or racketeer! Along the way Chilly meets up with with a schlock movie producer, a scream queen, a L.A. hood and his henchman, another mobster from Miami and finally the ‘Shorty’ (a self-involved, superstar actor)of the film’s title. All of them underestimate Chilly and think he is just a dumb hood, who can be conned out of some major, illegal money waiting in a locker at the L.A. airport. But Chilly seems to know all the right moves and plays everyone at their own game.Writer, Elmore Leonard wrote this fast paced, witty story after experiencing a real life, frustrating job of trying to write a script for vertically challenged actor, Dustin Hoffman… Revenge must be sweet, because it inspired a great piece of comic writing.The cast of actors in this movie is wonderful. Normally, I’m not the biggest John Travolta fan, but his take on mobster, Chilly Palmer is electrifying. Travolta plays the character with a swagger, confindence, and a smile that is sheer perfection! Gene Hackman is also hilarious as the sleaziest of sleazy Hollywood producers. This guy would sell out his own mother if it ment getting a piece of the gross!.Finally, Danny DeVito just makes this movie with his send up of every spoiled rotten, self-indulgent Hollywood actor that could ever come to mind. Kudos should also go for great, comic supporting roles from James Gandolfini and Dennis Farina.For an evening of some very funny Hollywood satire, I recommend you to get…”Get Shorty”!

WOW! A RAMBO Special Edition boxed set!
Well, when the Rambo movies were re-released on VHS a few years ago in all new packaging and in widescreen for the first time, I jumped on that set when I found it. But now that I got a DVD player I have been wanting to get these movies on DVD. Now there’s been a Collector’s set available for some time using the same prints that were released on VHS. They were also, I noticed, only in Dolby 2.0 and from what I have read the picture quality wasn’t very good. I was even going to buy that set because it had a great price, but ironically I waited. I then went back to check out the Amazon link and found that it was no longer available directly from Amazon and I was like, “What?” Well now I know. This new Special Edition is going to rock! Hopefully.

Remastered in both Dolby 5.1 and DTS, the Rambo movies should sound the best ever. With an additional disc to the 3 movie set that is loaded with mucho extras that it will keep you busy for quite a while featuring many new documentaries that tie in the events of the movies with today’s post-9/11 world with a documentary on Afghanistan. This should be the Ultimate Rambo DVD collection. And with rumors that Stallone is working on a new script for a Rambo IV that takes him back to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, it should be interesting and nostalgic to watch these movies again.

And if the Rambo movies come across as patriotic propaganda now, so what? Get over it. Why one would feel shame for having strong feelings for one’s country is beyond me. Besides, I’m anxiously awaiting to hear that Rambo theme in 5.1 Surround.

Rambo + Action = Good times had by all!
I’m going right for the meat and potatoes on this one.

Ok, you’ve got the Rambo movies all in one case, and I’m not saying they stuck three movies in one box, they have all the movies cased in a book format.

Then, for you pickers and choosers, they have all the Rambos in widescreen and full screen editions (I prefer widescreen though). But don’t be fooled at the beginning of the full screen version, it just starts out in widescreen until the credits are finished and then it becomes full screen.

And, the box set contains a fourth disk that you CANNOT get anywhere but in this set. It contains more facts and featurettes about Rambo and what made it so great (and it has a play all feature for the people that don’t want to go back and fourth through all of the featurettes). It also contains a neat little trvia game and sneak peeks at other DVDs.

In closing, people that love Rambo need this, and for the people that just love things blowing up…you need this as well. This is the essential Rambo collection, and it can also be called inexpensive action, because you have all of the Rambos and a special fourth DVD just for this set all packaged in a book format and a very sleek tin. Get this set you action freeks and Rambo-maniacs before Rambo hunts you down and makes you buy it!

Althogh there is some problems,I cant rate lass than 5 stars
Let me confess that in the whole period of DVD production, I’ve never seen such a brilliant, Spectacular & really Collector’s edition (not only special edition) DVD set! It’s beautiful and very well designed and produced with high quality material!
It consists of a Collectable real metal outer case, Spectacular metallic and glassy inner case, booklet, and 4 DVDs. but there are two complain, movies are double sided. Widescreen sides are Dual layer with DTS soundtrack. Full screen sides are single layers without DTS soundtrack. it means that if you deceide to watch a movie in full screen, you’ll unable to use DTS which is soppose to be one of the most important features of this DVD set.
second complain is about the sound remasteration. in two of them, all of the sounds and speeches go through only one of five speakers! it’s a real problem and it really botters when it shows 5.1 DD or DTS in audio menu but the real soundtrack is mono. it’ll be good if the studio schedule a program to replace the defective DVDs!
I heart of a new release of RAMBO TRILOGY, I’ve not seen it yet but descriptions indicate that’s an ordinary DVD collection. the sound quality will be difinately better than this one but about other features, I can’t Discuss yet. better of this one or not, I can say it with courage, no DVD collection will be complete whitout the RAMBO TRILOGY SPECIAL EDITION!
