On the whole this is a well done introduction to the beginnings of the Viking Age. As a person who has done archeological exploration and written much about that period, I found some problematic details. For example, the replica Viking ships built for the production have the steering oar placed on the wrong side. The modern word 'starboard' comes from the Viking 'Steering Board' which was mounted on the right side of the ship. But if one overlooks some errant details and the overplayed gore in a few spots, this is a fascinating series.

I have been called the "Modern Indiana Jones" in a newspaper writeup, so it seemed fitting to purchase the original series of Indiana Jones movies. Three of them are set in the Pre-WW II period and provide an action-packed return to serials of old. Personally I disliked the 2nd film in the series because it was a darker storyline. But all deliver a fast-paced thrill ride. The 5th disc contains a variety of info on the making of the films which is interesting to see. A good addition to our library. Enjoy!
Amy Heckerling's broad gangster comedy Johnny Dangerously comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. It would be fair to say that the film has never looked better on home video. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French and a second English soundtrack have been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a theatrical trailer. This is a decent release from 20th Century Fox.

Told as a long flashback from a reformed gangster, now pet shop owner, this is a humorous and creative story of how a kid rose to power and then throws it away to protect his brother who has become the DA. Worth a look.

In this collection of movies the viewer is exposed to sides of John Wayne they may not have seen before. From a scheming coal magnate willing to cheat his former friends and anyone else to a powerful warlord seeking to conquer other tribes along with a woman (Genghis Kahn), Wayne shows a diversity of skill beyond the realm of the classic Western star.
