William Flanigan

The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum / The Story of the Late Chrysanthemums (Zangiku monogatari). Fine Melodrama; Horrible Print! Rating = *** Director: Kenji Mizoguchi Producer: Shintarou Shirai Streaming 1939 (Editorial Note: Criterion folks, this exceptional film "cries out" for digital restoration. Commercially releasing it [on HULU] in this condition is deplorable!) Film = solid three (3); cinematography = four (4) stars; interior set design = 4.5 stars; subtitles = three (3) stars; sound = 2.5 stars; restoration = zero (0). Director Kenji Mizoguchi has created a back-stage photo play about all-male Kabuki (dance combined with drama) troupes circa mid 1800s. This is essentially a Kabuki-flavored movie (see below) about performing Kabuki. Popular Kabuki actors are depicted as the rock stars of their time complete with extravagant promotional parades, parasitic hanger-oners, and groupies. There are no surprises in the scenario. All outcomes are telegraphed well in advance. You do not have to be a fan of Kabuki (an acquired taste?) to enjoy this film. Kabuki performances are kept to a minimum except for the last third of the film which does suffer a bit from Kabuki overkill to underline a plot point (easy remedied by the fast-forward button on your remote!). Because of the absence of restoration, facial expressions of actresses and actors can not be determined (even in close-ups), hence depriving the viewer of seeing complete performances. Actress Kakuko Mori plays a totally self-sacrificing character (from under-appreciated wet nurse to scapegoat actor's wife); she easily steals every scene she is in with understated bravado performances. Not so much for leading actor Gonjur Kawarazaki who seems to have something other than acting on his mind (being called up for military service, perhaps?). Mizoguchi uses open-wall interior sets which enable the camera to follow actresses and actors as they move from room to room and floor to floor in single long takes (no cuts). (These are some of the best--if not the best--dolly [tracking] shots in Japanese sound films to date!) (The Director's long takes foreshadow what Hitchcock used to prevent Selznick from re-editing his films.) Perhaps most notable is Mizoguchi's remarkable death bed scene (at the film's end) which goes on for seven uninterrupted minutes or so. This technique can be a double-edged sword, however. The middle of the film sags precisely because of overly long takes of performers doing very little (or nothing). Cinematography is also exceptionally creative for exterior scenes with long-tracking point-up shots predominating. The score has a heavy flavor of Kabuki music; except for the opening credits, it consist of a solitary background singer, drums, shamisen, and other instruments commonly used in Kabuki performances. Opening credits are accompanied by a small under-rehearsed orchestra with frequent audio distortions. Microphone placement often picks up loud thumping of actors' feet on interior-set floors. Subtitles are close enough, but none of the solitary background singer's lyrics are translated. Highly recommended especially when digitally restored. WILLIAM FLANIGAN, PhD.

This has all the great elements of the crime investigative series, but what puts it on an even higher level is the humor and outstanding writing and cast. The characters interact wonderfully. I know of no other show with this level of drama and intrigue that keep me laughing like they do. They couldn't have picked a better cast for the roles they play. I found the 13 season set on eBay new sealed for $129.95. great purchase!!!

This is a great price for all the seasons, though it's risky as it may be packaged incorrectly which is what happend to me. I give this a 4 start as it is a competive price though I believe Universal's Quality Control isn't up to par. I have Season 13, Disc 1 & 2 doubled and missing Discs 3 & 4. Hopefully amazon can help me out on this. Will update later.

It's not that I don't like the series because I do. However I am VERY irritated because one of the disks was defective. I just finished watching all 13 seasons, just to make sure there were no additional problems, and I need season 4, disk 1 replaced. There was no sound, so it's of no value or use. Watching silent movies does NOT do it for me. I tried to find a way to report this but there's no provision for it evidentually. I WANT A NEW DISK!!!!!!

Paths of the Soul is a rather spare film, very light on dialogue. But if you are interested in seeing something of village life in Tibet, landscapes, and the back alleys of Lhasa, this is the film for you. The lead actors, while we never get to know them all that well, are fascinating to watch and express a lot through their expressions--or lack thereof.

An interesting take on a traditional Tibetan family going on pilgrimage. It shows that it is possible to retain a cultural identity even when one's old culture and religion are under threat. Very moving and beautifully photographed. It is a docudrama and apparently, most of the people are nonactors. It is Tibetan for Tibetans and not a western european take. A view of Tibet from the inside and on Tibetan terms. Well worth seeing and contemplating.

Nothing against the Tibetan people who were made to appear in this Chinese propaganda film but that is just what it is. Look closely knowing this and you will see the props and the abundant food and pretend freedom and the fear behind their eyes. Attempting to show relative religious freedom and good life in Tibet where in reality, the people are not allowed even the right to lift their heads and speak freely. If you want to see a real movie about what's really going on then please get the movie 'What Remais of Us'. Then you will see real nomadics other Tibetans living in the reality of Tibet, the world's largest prison.

Movie is not what it seems..

Author Rory Miller has successfully made the jump from the printed page to the video screen with his two DVD set, based upon his book: Training for Sudden Violence. Training for Sudden Violence: Drills (2016, YMAA Productions) has Miller and his team working through a variety of drills, situations, and instructions to those who want to take their training from the book to a more realistic setting. Miller, a former Corrections Officer and veteran self-defense instructor of multiple styles and levels, does very well in walking the viewer through what is needed to get out of messy situations. Both DVD discs have some 16 sections, or chapters. Disc one has such goodies as Targeting, Sumo Pushing, and Conditioning. Disc two has such items as The Brawl, Bull in the Ring (a great endurance training), and Grappling.

Very well put together DVD Set!

These videos are extremely useful for learning and teaching self-defense in real situations. There are many many clever ideas of drills, powerful trainings which are in addition very great fun to be performed. I watch a lot of videos to catch ideas for my teaching and training and really these dvd are the most intelligent ones I ever saw: if I should have to choose only one set of videos this should be this one. One among many over interesting points is the fact that Miller doesn't teach any specific style of fighting, but a method which lets you do your own way of fighting. This is not a method "if the guy does that you must do that", this is a method which puts you directly in the context of a real and messy situation, that is at very close distance, and make you improve your spontaneous response on a sudden attacks. These drills will make you improving your ability to defend yourselves in a pedagogical way. This has nothing to do with the context of a dojo or of a ring of any martial arts, but somewhere it helps you on the way of all martial arts final purpose, that is to develop a spontaneous response to any kind of aggressions in any contexts. I blindfold recommend it! (Sorry for my bad English.)

I highly recommend this work to others that wish to learn much about how to deal with the possibility of sudden violence. This dvd package offers both excellent video instruction along with excellent commentary.

I have always appreciated Rory Millers work. There is always something to learn. The Training for Sudden Violence DVD is no exception. The laid back soft spoken attitude of Rory Miller is a misnomer of the amount of knowledge he has and the way he has with words. I especially like that he is carrying what looks like a cup of coffee throughout the whole DVD. Also Rory is trying really hard not to drop the F bomb which unfortunately he drops. If that will offend you, as Rory would put it get over it because you will be missing out on a lot of information that will make your art so much better. This DVD is 180 minutes and covers fundamental and immediate drills including structure, targeting, off lining and much more. As always Rory has a vast number of training partners coming from different backgrounds such as Karate and Jiu-Jistu. No matter what the background, there is always a learning experience. The second DVD makes a mention of scenario training. This is something that Rory Miller addresses with extreme caution and does not make light of. I really took to this warning because scenario training or what I called scenario training is something that should be taken seriously. This was a real eye opener. Rory created this DVD for more of a reference to the book. The book has goal oriented ideas that would not work well in the DVD. I would recommend purchasing the book as well.

Training for Sudden Violence: Drills 2-DVD set contains many useful self-defense training drills that accurately mimic violent encounters. The drills presented will appeal to self-defense instructors and both traditional and mixed martial artists. The DVD pair is a must-have companion to the similarly titled book Training for Sudden Violence, which discusses even more of the exercises (72 to be exact). Disk 1 mostly covers fundamentals of surviving violent encounters, such as structure for power/energy, initiative, conservation of motion/energy, targeting, offline stepping, etc. Disk 2 contains a dozen or so more drills, including multiple assailants, stalking, and discussions on articulating what happened - how to speak about the incident in a legally smart manner. Overall the drills presented by Rory provide structured practice and training drills for an otherwise chaotic (read: realistic) method of fighting. The "flow" of real fighting is recreated through many of the drills, something that is not inherent in controlled sparring matches. Rory's training drills also allow for the "dirty" of street fighting in a safe and controlled manner, including weapons, objects, and structures in the environment. Rory's presentation is very relaxed (he even occasionally holds a cup of coffee during his presentations) and comforting, especially given the seriousness of the topic and potential for injury in some drills, yet he coveys his expertise in a no-BS manner. Just like his writing style, Rory tells the viewer like it is. If you enjoy his other publications, this one is a must have because not only does he demonstrate many of the drills discussed in his book, the drills are fun to watch and will make the viewer want to jump of the couch and give them a go.

Structured training methods for surviving violent encounters.

Beautiful fall colors, very relaxing. Three sections of DVD include: 1) Fall Film includes many scenes of multi color trees, lakes, rain falling on trees and leaves, large spider webs and leaves glistening with rain, streams flowing over large boulders, streams flowing under stone bridges, etc. 2) Soothing Scenes includes many slow flowing wide streams edged by trees with slivers of sunlight lsparkling on the water 3) "Natural Decor" is four scenes, each of a different waterfall, choice of playing an individual waterfall or "play all." Natural sounds include water and bird sounds.

Two relaxation DVD set. Both discs start out exactly the same and there are several scenes that are the same on both discs. If I am purchasing 2 different DVDs, even if they are in a set, I expect them to be different. Disc. 1 Fall This disc is by far the best one in the set. Choice of 3 different tracks set to nature sounds. The scene selections and photography is spectacular once the camera focuses in on the scene. It is difficult to tell the purpose of this DVD since some scenes seem to center on photography effects and others seem to just accent the beautiful nature. In a relaxation DVD I want it to just focus on the vivid nature which needs no added special effects. (i.e., fade outs, blurry focus, all orange, misty looking, etc.) The scenes that have no special effects are outstanding! I love how the camera just stays on these beautiful shots - I could watch them all day long. Absolutely stunning lakes, rushing rivers, waterfalls, and LOTS of vivid fall colors. Very nice sound tracks of gentle water, rain and bird sounds. Disc. 2: Choice of 4 Forest Seasons set to soothing, soft music and 4 selections of Relaxation Tracks with very nice bird sounds. For the most part, the scenes and locations chosen to film are uninteresting and lackluster with the photography shots more focused on camera technique (being very orange and faded/misty looking) rather than accenting all the different vibrant colors of fall. Personally I don't care for close ups of insects - I kept feeling like I should run for the flyswatter! The exception was the Autumn track which included beautiful, vibrant colors, a waterfall and a very good selection of scenes, especially the fall colors reflecting on the water outstanding! The close- ups of the frost on the pines in the Winter track was done extremely well. Overall I was pretty disappointed with Disc 2 since I enjoyed only about 10% of it.

Loved Disc 1 but Disc 2 is disappointing.

I make my living as an artist. I was expecting clear crisp fall color. The scenes continually change focus like they were shot through some type of filter, then they become clear again. It strainend my eyes and gave me a headache to watch. Nature needs no embellishment. Save your money.

Very disappointed

m living in a city center and when I look through my window I only see concrete buildings. This DVD collection is my escape to nature when Im not able to actually go to the forest. Fall is such a colorful season and this DVD collection shows Fall in all its glory. The colors are so bright and vivid. I love that I can choose to watch a video with beautiful relaxation music or with the sounds of nature. I choose the music when I play the DVDs in the background, while Im working or reading and the sounds of nature during my morning meditation. The Fall DVD has a one-hour film with beautiful scenes of dawn forests, carpets of fallen leaves and tumbling waterfalls. Its pure magic and endless relaxation. I think my favorite track is Misty Morning Lake on the Forest Season DVD. Its such a serene landscape, with the soft rippling water, the magical mist and the mountains in the backdrop. If you are looking for relaxation (and whos not?) and want to escape to nature whenever you feel like, this is your DVD!

Pure relaxation - escape to nature

the soundtrack was great, and the last half hour was very good and had some great practical effects, but how many viewers will make it to the last half hour, due to the really slow and amateur first hour? I would have spread out the action and violence to keep interest. also, there was more screaming than acting.

uneven pace, but good soundtrack and practical effects in the last half hour

Great movie, but after seeing Joe Begos' previous movie Almost Human I'm not surprised The Mind's Eye was so good. I've read other reviews with people giving it grief because of it's retro feel and saying that it was too derivative of the David Cronenberg Scanners, but those were the two elements that I really enjoyed about The Mind's Eye. I've been so disappointed with most mainstream horror movies coming out lately that I usually watch old movies from the seventies or eighties anyway. In spite of all the technology filmmakers have access to today, it seems like some vital element got lost, a vital element that I often seem to find in older films like David Cronenberg's Scanners, John Carpenter's The Thing, Lucio Fulci's The Beyond, Dario Argento's Deep Red, or Lamberto Bava's Demons. Some of the criticism heaped on The Mind's Eye I've also heard aimed at another fairly recent horror movie The Void. Everybody else is welcome to their own opinion, but I loved The Mind's Eye and would recommend it to anybody who's into any of the horror films I mentioned earlier.

Great movie, but after seeing Joe Begos' previous movie ...

This had a great premise, great music, and an awesome 80s/90s throwback feel, however, there were gaping plot holes and the characters tended to act really dumb and annoying. Towards the end I found myself not caring what happened because everyone's actions were so infuriatingly idiotic. Almost good.

I really wanted to like it. I didn't mind that it was low budget since the concept was good. But the behavior of the characters and the script were just bad. The use of powers was, for the most part, lame. I liked that is was set in the 80's/90's. It's in style since Stranger Things. It's an entertaining moving, but you'll mostly just laugh at the low quality and yell at the characters to act better and to make logical decisions.

Low budget but could have been great

Let me tell you right off the bat, this is a low budget and indie type film and having said that....this does not always look that way, the stunts and such are way and truly above the norm. I am very impressed with how the director got things done on what had to be a tiny budget and still looked ultra-professional. This could have been a bit better but it still fell back on the whole mad scientist type thing. More psychokinetics are being born and one, doctor Slovak claims to train them and teach them....claims! Please keep in mind that the acting is a little better than average and so is the story. A very predictable ending happens and it is still not too bad. Will I recommend it? kind of, depends on how much you pay for it.

Really not too bad for the budget.

Fans of David Cronenberg's Scanners will dig this clever, marvelously-shot, if familiar, homage from young writer-director Joe Begos, who made his feature debut with 2013's uneven but impressive scifi horror shocker Almost Human. (The earlier film itself was a derivative homage to films of John Carpenter, Cronenberg and others.) Stylish, shot in washed-out 70s colors, it stars Graham Skipper and Lauren Ashley Carter as powerful scanners with telekinetic powers who fall into the hands of Evil Scientist Guy (John Speredakos) who has promised to help them tame and control their powers. Thing is, being evil, Evil Scientist Guy has other plans -- of the nefarious kind! The leads do a fine job, though the acting is wooden in parts. The FX is rudimentary and includes an awkwardly shot car explosion that looks goofy. I know I should give the film a much lower rating but I'm a sucker for this particular micro-genre. I mean I've watched all the sequels to Scanner and let me tell you, they are not good. By the by, check out "The Atticus Institute" which combines the whole psychic mind-power thing with the demonic possession thing.

Familar, fun homage to David Cronenberg's Scanners

Remember when horror films were dark, violent and made by adults for adults? Yeah? Well so does director Joe Begos and his latest film The Mind's Eye is a throwback to the pre-PC days of 1970s and 1980s horror. He clearly wears his influences on his sleeve - Cronenberg and DePalma most notably - but that's kind of the point here. It's the early 1990s, but an alternate 90s where psychokenisis is a documented phenomena and appears to be on this rise. Zack Connors (Graham Skipper) is a powerful scann....er, psychokinetic who is on the run and trying to keep a low profile. He is found by Dr. Michael Slovak (John Speredakos) who runs an institute for psychokinetics which is ostensibly there to help but of course we know he's up to no good. Zack allows himself to be committed to the institute in order to be reunited with Rachel (Lauren Ashley Carter), another psychokinetic with whom he shares an unspecified past. We eventually learn that Dr. Slovak is extracting DNA from his patients and using it to give himself an accelerated version of their powers. Our protagonists eventually escape, are pursued by Slovak's minions and the story spirals toward the eventual bloody psychic showdown between Zack and Slovak. Begos is clearly working with a limited budget here - and it shows at times - but he truly transcends his budgetary limitations throughout. The effects are mostly practical, economical and effective. The acting skews to amateurish, but the earnest performances from Skipper and Carter more than compensates as we come to really root for the young lovers to escape to a normal life away from all this chaos. It's a hoot watching Speredakos chew scenery as he attempts to out-Michael Ironside Michael Ironside and it's always a treat watching indie horror stalwart Larry Fessenden ply his craft (even if he is somewhat less than believable as Zack's retired state trooper - ??? - father). Begos' cinematography effectively contrasts the cold, sterile countryside (a la Cronenberg, subbing New England for Canada) with warm, rich 80s style colors. The requisite 80s style synth score highlights the action and infuses extra emotion into the story, best seen when he uses it to contrast the intimacy of our two young lovers as they get physical against Slovak's ecstasy getting injected with his mutant DNA. This film starts slow but picks up speed progressively when the heads start exploding and bodies get torn asunder. This is a great sophomore effort from a promising director who I quite frankly can't wait to see work with a higher budget and more resources. With all the recent 80s nostalgia it's nice to see someone like Begos mining the more nihilistic side of this era. Throw a copy of this Blu Ray in next time the Stranger Things crowd mentions how much they love the 80s and - yes - have fun watching their heads explode.

Does a good job of covering this long race. Interesting to see the different lighting as the race progresses. The pit stop scenes show how well organized and efficient the crews are. At the very end of the movie, it seemed sort of rushed with interviews of racers and race people, who were not shown, while the race / post-race was shown.

This could have been a lot better. Some of the acting was just... bad. I like the plot, but there are some holes I can't get past. ****DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED**** Was Theresa ever really pregnant? It looked like John stole one of Kate & Justin's ultrasound pictures. Was she faking because John overheard them at dinner out? Did Justin not call the cops to ask for help finding his baby? Did they drag the river? Anyway - it's a decent watch but as I said, could have been a lot better.

Relatively new take on an old plot - what happens when an apartment/condo dwelling young couple who are expecting a child meet the, at first charming & worldly, new neighbors who are also expecting their first child, and yes, live in the apartment below. Well, things turn out a little tense between them when an accident occurs (random & innocent, or negligent?). Things start happening, and again, are they random & innocent or are they planned along with the psychological consequences? Well acted, directed and written. Possible spoiler to the ending. So DO NOT READ until after seeing the film and not sure because, if I'm right (pretty sure I am) it will "spoil" the denouement. The film purposefully makes our two female protagonists similar in appearance; in cases like this common plot thickener I check nose, ear, chin shapes as well as eye color, especially after not paying that close of attention throughout the film and now I'm paying for it by having to go back and check. Baby is happy with it's new parents.

Less than 1 stars, the content is fine and I was excited to receive this item. However, we can't get past the first 5 mins. Of any DVD before it freezes and shuts off. I know it is the DVD because we purchased a new player for the purpose of watching this DVD with our child. Furthermore, there isn't an option to get in contact with the seller.

This is a fascinating documentary about the cyberattack on an Iranian facility used to create nuclear weapons. It includes some of the technology and several interviews with leaders of government institutions: FBI, CIA, Cybercommand. It also includes film clips with then-Presidents Bush and Obama. Very interesting story which explains not only about computer-based attacks but our government's involvements in covert activities.
