After watching The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984), I checked on here and was surprised to see relatively few reviews. Maybe people aren’t all that aware of the movie, or maybe they’re put off by the fact that one of its’ stars is Mickey Rourke (or The Human Ashtray, as actress Kim Basinger once referred to him as), an actor who showed a lot of promise early in his career (some called him the next Brando) but eventually fell from grace due to his poor choice of film roles, grandiose ego, erratic behavior, and slovenly demeanor.

The Pope of Greenwich Village, mostly directed by Stuart Rosenberg, who also did one of my favorite films in Cool Hand Luke (1967), stars Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Daryl Hannah, and Burt Young, who many probably remember most as Sylvester Stallone’s brother-in-law from the Rocky films. Also appearing are Kenneth McMillan (Dune, Cat’s Eye), Jack Kehoe (Midnight Run), M. Emmet Walsh (Blade Runner), and Geraldine Page (The Trip to Bountiful). Also, it is noted that Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter) made some uncredited directorial contributions to the film, but the extent of his involvement is unclear. I believe he was the original director, but then either quit or got fired…they’re a temperamental lot out there in Hollywood…

Set in the Italian section of New York’s Greenwich Village, the film features two characters, Charlie (Rourke), a well-dressed maitre d’ with aspirations of someday owning his own restaurant, and Paulie (Roberts), Charlie’s ever-scheming cousin who works in the same restaurant as Charlie, as a waiter. After Paulie gets caught skimming the checks (let’s say the table orders six entrees…Paulie charges them for six, but then only reports three, pocketing the difference), both he and Charlie get canned. Now out of work and bills up the wazoo, Charlie must now find another job, but Paulie, who’s got plans to buy into a racehorse, comes forth with a scheme, based on a tip, of a large amount of cash located in a safe of a local business. Reluctant, but needing the money, Charlie agrees to participate, and they do manage to crack the safe with help from an accomplice played by McMillan, but shortly things go sour, resulting in an accidental death of a cop. Not only that, but Charlie soon learns that the money they took belongs local psychotic Mob boss `Bedbug Eddie’ (Young), something Paulie neglected to mention, who is more put off by the fact someone had the nerve to rob him, rather than the missing money. Let’s just say Eddie’s not too happy about the situation, and when Eddie’s not happy, people tend to lose body parts.

I really enjoyed this film. I thought Rourke did well, playing his role very cool and calm, with a level of subtly he has since lost, as, I believe, he got too full of himself and became eccentric for the sake of being eccentric. Roberts is wonderful as Paulie, the smarmy, constantly in motion, hyperactive, fast-talking dreamer with a completely perverse sense of logic. An example of that is when he and Charlie just got fired for their restaurant gig, and Charlie is upset with Paulie as it was all his fault, but Paulie doesn’t see it that way because if he knew his petty thievery was going to get Charlie fired, he wouldn’t have done it…ergo, since he didn’t know the outcome, it wasn’t his fault. The weakest element in the film, I thought, was Hannah, who played Charlie’s girlfriend Diane. There just seemed to be something missing, but this is a minor point as the rest of the actors, mostly seasoned pros, support the story well, especially that of Burt Young. I don’t think his role required any great stretch for him, but he was definitely fun to watch. The real standout performance for me was that of Geraldine Page. Even though she only appeared in two scenes, and had about a total of five minutes on screen, she really made and impression (the second scene, in particular), so much so she was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in this film. She didn’t win, but she did win a year later for her role in The Trip to Bountiful (1985). The film itself has a very authentic feel, much like that of a film others have mention being Mean Streets (1973), as it appears most of the film was shot on location, instead of on sets and back lots. Ultimately, Pope is a knock off of Mean Streets, but a really good one. I thought the music chosen for the film very good, especially that of Sinatra’s Summer Wind, as it really set the mood for the movie well. The film runs right around two hours, but it didn’t feel like it, as I was taken in by the story and highly interested in its outcome. Some points the movie did seem to drag a little, but I felt the time was used well as the plot was actually fairly intricate, involving many different elements, including a smattering of humor, raising the film above your standard mafia flick. I was mildly surprised by the lack of violence in the film, and even the most memorable point, a person losing an appendage, is off screen, allowing for the viewer to visualize rather than see it. My three favorite scenes are, in no particular order, the one with Geraldine Page’s character talking with the crooked cops, Paulie giving Charlie tips on women, and Charlie and Paulie at the racetrack, looking for that ever elusive winner.

The non-anamorphic wide screen print on this DVD looks pretty good and the audio ain’t bad, but it both could be better. MGM provides little in the way of special features, including only a trailer. As far as the meaning of the title of the film? Well, you’ll just have to wait until the very end…

Cookieman108

Released at a time when comedies were measured by the number of exposed women’s breasts or the quality of vomiting scenes, THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE was a refreshing movie that had actual character development and humor based on wit, not bodily functions. Paulie and Charlie (Rourke and Roberts) play two citizens of Little Italy that are on the criminal fringe, although they themselves are not criminals. But as they look around them, the criminals of the street are getting richer and the yuppies of the 80s even richer than that. When they are approached by Barney, a locksmith losing his sight (wonderfully portrayed by Kenneth McMillan) who has a plan for a quick score, the two fall in. Once they do, the pasta goes flying.

I won’t go further into the plot. There are some great supporting performances here: Geraldine Page, Burt Young, Tony Musante, Phillip Bosco, and even Daryl Hannah. The direction is top notch. Check out this little period piece of a neighborhood that is rapidly disappearing.

Paul Newman made his directing debut with this story and he does a great job; whenever it threatens to bore, something always saves it. Rachel teaches by day, wearing simple, practical dresses and her hair up. By night she caters to her domineering mother by preparing refreshments for her parties. This sexually repressed spinster schoolteacher, however, gets one last chance at romance in her small Connecticut town. Woodward mixes just the right amounts of loneliness and sweetness in the leading role. Won Golden Globe and New York Film Critics awards for both Woodward and her husband Newman for best actress and best director respectively (they took home four awards between them).

This is a quiet, insightful film that is blessed with a wise and wonderful performance by Joanne Woodward. Directed by her husband, Paul Newman, this film explores the plight of a 35-year old woman who has come to the crossroads of her life. She is a decent, lonely and loyal person who realizes that she must make a major change in her life, or continue an unfulfilled and sterile existence in a small town that offers her no chance of real happiness. Paul Newman really shows his skill as a director in bringing this story to life. Here, Joanne Woodward proves that she is one of the finest, if not THE best, actress of her generation. She makes the viewer care about Rachel Cameron; you feel her loneliness, her despair, her fears, and finally, her hope for a better future. Woodward’s skill as an actress has always been her courage to portray unglamourous, real women with all their imperfections and foibles. This is a great performance. The ensemble supporting cast in this film is also wonderful. The sadly underappreciated Estelle Parsons gives a gutsy performance as Rachel’s equally lonely school teacher friend. Kate Harrington, as Rachel’s demanding mother, and Geraldine Fitzgerald are also fine. This is a great slice-of-life film that, in its own quiet but powerful way, tells you a lot about the human condition. Kudos to Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman!

This was a project held in more or less utter contempt by it’s star—one more justification for Cagney’s decision to bail out of Warners for greener independent pastures.”I didn’t like this story the last four times I did it,and I don’t like it now”,said he when exec producer Hal Wallis proposed “Captains”—patriotic considerations may have persuaded him,and the fact it would be his first in Technicolor.This one is a must-see,or rather a must-have.It’s Cagney improv—he couldn’t care less about the story and doesn’t care if we know it.When he’s bored with dialogue(often),he breaks into Yiddish–in one scene,hapless Alan Hale’s walking across the room and Cagney trips him(you can tell Hale didn’t see it coming).Jim was pushing 43 when he made this,so there is at least tacit script recognition of his character’s age—still,he’s surrounded by an elderly lot of sidekicks—Reginald Gardiner,George Tobias,the aforementioned Alan Hale—these four are like a roving band of vaudevillians in the Canadian wild—one can imagine the group of them whiling away location hours singing “the old songs” Cagney loved so dearly.And,oh yes,they sing in the picture too.Other endearing moments—an extended night club sequence with chorous girls and a rousing rendition of the title song—wonderful! —were there really clubs like this during the war?—if so,I was born too late.Let’s not forget Brenda Marshall—so cold and passionless in “The Sea Hawk”—not here! She’s a revelation—hot,sexy,ruthless—I love it when Cagney gives her the pay-off in their “honeymoon” suite—she rips open that cash envelope like a tigress—wowzers!—too bad she dumped the career when she married Bill Holden.There’s not much combat in “Captains”—mostly aerial training stuff,but it’s fascinating—and the gorgeous color really sugars it up.Cagney made a big mistake when he ditched Warners—his great years were essentially over when he pulled out of Burbank—only “White Heat” lay ahead to remind us of the glory days.”Captains Of The Clouds” is a curtain call for the old “fun” Cagney of the thirties—and as such,it’s a keeper.

This is one of my favorite James Cagney films because it somehow manages to intertwine an intricate plot into a very simple and patriotic story. More important however, it relies on one of my favorite film themes, that of the protagonist (Cagney) not making the transition from one era of personal glory into the next era where he becomes a stranger in his own world which has changed all around him. This film got two Academy Awards nominations for Interior Decoration (Ted Smith - Art Direction, Casey Roberts - Interior Decoration) and Color Cinematography (Sol Polito). Director Michael Curtiz visually does an excellent job with this script. It starts off in the beautifully filmed Canadian wilderness with Cagney in his usual reckless tough guy form. These early images stand for the strong individual nature of James Cagney’s character Brian MacLean that is in itself based on the Cagney mystique. Gradually, MacLean and the other two main characters Johnny Dutton (Dennis Morgan) and Emily Foster (Brenda Marshall) make gradual transitions to reveal personality growth, stagnation and hidden revelations. This is a wartime film made in 1942 and the film intertwines the plot with patriotic sentiment quite nicely but stresses the practicality of creating and maintaining a proficient and professional military force if the job is to get done. The entire cast is wonderful and includes Alan Hale, George Tobias and Gig Young. Composer Max Steiner also once again turns in an insightful and intelligent score. There are some great flying scenes full of bravado, daring do and just plain out foolhardiness with Cagney leading his cronies in and out of the doghouse. This is a very entertaining film.

Whoopie Goldberg, LL Cool J, Loretta Devine and Jada Pinkett - Smith star in this overlooked little comic gem of a movie. The supporting cast, including Cedric the Entertainer, are also on hand to bring to life a funny farce on death and dying, dysfunction and survival. Admittedly, perhaps a few of the plot devices may be trite, but it’s very rare for a movie not to have a few over used plots or farcial moments. This movie is all about family surviving family and life and trying to rise above whatever life has in store - be it fate or human blunder. Goldberg plays Mama Rae, a stoic and strong woman, who does know her own mind. When her husband drops dead at the breakfast table, she continues on - with an assortment of family members and friends who are coming home to ” help ” her. The always amazing Loretta Devine, the bombastic, morally and religiously effusive, bounds onto the screen and doesn’t stop chewing the scenery throughout her turn as Aunt Marguerite - the long suffering sister of the recently departed Bud and the mother of two lowdown sons, who try her patience at every turn. LL Cool J is the eldest son of Mama Rae and Bud, who battles his own demons, but seems to bring stability to a very fractured family. Pinkett - Smith is the one person that every family seems to have - The Drama Queen and the Eternal Victim. The rest of the cast deserves to be singled out, but time and space is limited. The bottomline is - this is a movie that can make you laugh - even if you stop laughing and think - ” this reminds me of someone in MY family. ” It ain’t brain surgery, folks and not all movies have to be or even should be. A nice clue, watch the credit roll - the photos seem to tie up the stories in the movie.

I really wasn’t expect much from this film. I expected it to be your typical cookie cutter fare. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. The cast was likable, the storyline was interesting, and the film’s comedy was VERY funny and VERY down to Earth.

In a way, the family in the film reminded me of my family. I’m sure it will remind you of your folks, too. I don’t care if you’re white, black, or whatever. This movie has UNIVERSAL APPEAL. I recommend it to EVERYONE who loves to laugh! Buy or rent this film today!

The Legend of Black Heaven is a new series by AIC. The main character is Tanaka Oji, ex-guitarist of metal band Black Heaven. After marriage he had to throw his passion and become regular office worker - try to oppose your wife! ^_^ Anyway, one day he meets Yuki Layla, new secretary in his company. She’s asking him to play guitar in a strange ‘night club’ (really it’s a space ship!). From this point the hot action begins - his playing is necessary to activate the ultimate weapon, which is the only chance to stop alien invasion in a quadrant localized very close to Earth. If you want to know more you have to watch it yourself. Very good animation (though real otaku may not accept 3D renders when the action is localized in space), lotsa humor and thrilling story - this combo will blow your mind! ^_^

Legend of Black Heaven is very funny and has a very cool story idea. With more effort it could have been awesome, but weak animation and lack of secondary-character and plot development keep it from being a great classic.

In the final disc, the space chick dons a bunny suit to undergo special training, and joins the band as keyboardist, Oji’s wife finally leaves him, before discovering he’s been telling the truth all along, and the band must face off against the evil enhanced clone of their own dead keyboard player. The lack of cool animated scenes of the six-armed keyboard player was a defining disappointment for the cheapness of the animation. Surely they could have managed one or two really cool scenes of keyboard-pounding madness, instead of the one nearly static frontal view and the one view of three hands on the keys.

Still, if you’ve watched the series this far, you should find the end reasonably satisfying

The dub is even worth watching, very few anime’s accumulate all the characters to sound like the audience want them to in English, but heck, they managed it with this. Especially Madarame…oh man…

The ’special edition’ box situation of this same anime costs around twice as powerful. Why bother? Is a fancier cardboard box worth the extra $45? This is the valid same snort for a considerable better mark.

In 2001, Disney released “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse”, a Christmas special from the House of Mouse TV Note. And like most Disney releases, once it’s released, don’t ask to gawk another release again for years. And in this case, 8 years later (2009) and true in time for the holidays, “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse” is serve.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Mickey’s Magical Christmas! Click Here

This Christmas episode is about how all the Disney characters (characters from nearly every Disney piquant film) are stranded at the House of Mouse (a night club) due to a snow storm. So, Mickey being the superior host that he is, is trying to bring home that Christmas spirit and entertain his guest. The plight is that Donald Duck is not having a grand time is like the scrooge at the Christmas party. So, Mickey tries to form Donald glad and entertain his guest by showing classic Disney enthralling shorts which include:

* Donald On Ice (1999) - Donald tries to learn to skate, while Huey, Dewey and Louie try to invent a snowman. But unfortunately, Donald’s inability to skate tends to end the triplets chance at building their snowman.

* Pluto’s Christmas Tree (1952) -Mickey cuts down a Christmas Tree and doesn’t know that the Chipmunks: Chip & Dale are living in the tree. Unfortunately, Chip & Dale tend to drive Pluto nuts and thus Pluto does what he can to gather the Chipmunks.

* The Nutcracker (1999) - A young girl (played by Minnie Mouse) receives a reveal (which is a wooden mouse) and dreams for it to become staunch, so she can dance with him.

* Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983) - The current Disney Christmas though-provoking short features the chronicle of Scrooge McDuck and how he’s mean to everyone for Christmas until he learns a lesson from the Spirit of Christmas past.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

“Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In a the House of Mouse” is an gripping full-length feature that features nice, vibrant animation during the more original “House of Mouse” television present. But each time the feature switches to the entertaining shorts, you score mixed results in terms of relate quality due to some of these attractive shorts being over 30/50-years venerable. But overall, the classics due prove a dissimilarity in animation quality but for those who enjoyed animation like “Mickey’s Christmas Carol” or even the older classic involving short “Pluto’s Christmas Tree”, although not digitally remastered, these classics due believe up well on DVD decades later.

As for audio, “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In a the House of Mouse” is featured in DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1. The series is primarily front and center channel driven and personally, I didn’t peep any surround or LFE usage but dialogue is determined and understandable.

Subtitles are presented in English SDH.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

“Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse” comes with the following special features:

* Premiere Episode of House of Mouse - (23:07) An episode of “House of Mouse” featuring various Disney characters from current inviting films visiting the House of Mouse nightclub. Meanwhile, Pete buys the building of where the House of Mouse is located and wants to shut down the cartoon club.

* The Sounds of Christmas - (2:33) A Disney sound engineer teaches children how to effect sounds using objects and how they were utilized in distinct animation.

* SingAlong “Deck the Halls” - (1:50) Karaoke SingAlong to “Deck the Halls” with animation from “Pluto’s Christmas Tree”.

* SingAlong Song “Sleigh Trot” - (1:57) Karaoke SingAlong to “Sleigh Toddle” with animation from “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”.

JUDGMENT CALL:

I watched “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse” with my toddler and he absolutely loved it and wanted to discover it again. And as a holiday family feature, it is an enthralling release that will be fun, due to the number of Disney characters seen throughout the feature.

With that being said, for those who have the unusual release of Walt Disney Titillating Shorts Collection or other Disney releases probably have the involving shorts on previously released DVD’s. Those who possess the modern release from 2001, there is really is nothing current on this DVD with the exception of the original trailers. In fact, if you are a fan who mainly wants this release for its holiday-related intelligent shorts, then you may want to check out the unbiased released “Disney Animation Collection 7: Mickey’s Christmas Carol” which comes with “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”, “Pluto’s Christmas Tree” and two other Disney classics.

But with this release of “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse”, if you are a “House of Mouse” fan, you do accumulate the premiere episode of “House of Mouse” and other short intelligent holiday special features. I do admit that I wished that the DVD release had more interactivity like other Disney releases with games or something extra.

Overall, “Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse” is consuming for young and conventional as it does feature newer and older animation and if you don’t contain these gripping shorts on another previously released Disney collection, it’s worth checking out. But if you do have these shorts already, it’s kind of hard to recommend it as the majority of the thunder in this feature are those classic shorts.

So, for parents who are looking for a Disney holiday release, as mentioned earlier, my son loved it and wanted to stare it again. So, yes it is an provocative and fun Disney holiday release. I recommend Disney fans looking for a an inspiring holiday release to also bewitch a copy of “Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas” (2004), if you don’t hold it already.

When Disney brought Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and essentially the entire casts of curious features to Saturday morning and other daytime TV in 2001, it was done in broad style with an pains to originate something that would please fans and young viewers, being hip as well as classic.

It’s a testimony to those enthusiastic with House of Mouse that such an impossibly tremendous order was carried off so considerable of the time. Clear, the current animation is markedly different from vintage stuff, but even the Astounding World of Disney combined the flowing, straight line animation with the “scritchy” xerox eye of the early ’60s. The main grunt is, does the final product entertain?

My son obvious loved it, and he’s seen very petite of House of Mouse because it’s not on TV considerable and there are precious few DVDs. I found myself laughing out loud at the posthaste fire gags and “inside” jokes on Disney characters. Most of all, for me it was fun to set characters like the Gingerbread Man from Cookie Carnival and Elliot from Pete’s Dragon.

That’s not to say that House of Mouse is uneven — the Brian Setzer theme and overall rock/swing music is a tremendous map to support it original yet classic. The references to Backstreet Boys and the like are no different than huge band crooner nods in ’40s cartoons.

Unlike grand animation for television, House of Mouse contains lots of purely visual sequences, short as they are, and short cartoons, which are also shorter than the theatrical type. These cartoons abound with gags — clearly a lot of work went into them by people who, by and astronomical, generally cared about the early work and actually liked it. I can forgive occasional lapses in graphic quality because of the sheer beauty of the silly poses, especially for Donald. Clearly these poses are the foundation of animation that by necessity is produced in and out of the country. It’s inspired by the work of the Disney masters, and probably was researched by the series staff.

Mickey’s Magical Christmas is a special House of Mouse that extends to feature length, containing unique cartoons as well as Pluto’s Christmas Tree and Mickey’s Christmas Carol. As a bonus, the premiere episode of House of Mouse in included — a very comic tale in which Donald takes over the ‘toon club.

This DVD is also a bit of a tribute to the slow Wayne Allwine, who voiced Mickey since Christmas Carol and is heard throughout. Surely it was unintentional, since this is a DVD reissue, but Wayne also appears on camera, guiding guests through the Disney sound effects department, where he worked with Jimmy Macdonald and from whom he took on the mantle of Mickey’s notify. This DVD is worth having objective for his short bonus feature, “The Sounds of Christmas.”

I determined would like to perceive more House of Mouse on DVD and so would my kids…

A bit dificult to review disc 2 of 3 without generalising for the series. You will only rob this if you got disc one and liked that anyway.

The nuts and bolts: well drawn, nothing jars (such as bad frame rate) . Sound is superior. Subtitles ravishing considerable agree with the English soundtrack, so you wont miss too remarkable info if you listen to the Japanese (which is always more fun anyway) .

The legend. Not really a spicy tale; I kept watching to look where it was going. Of course, there was no resolution - that’s for the next series! (Please give us the funds to effect another series Mr Producer…) No, it’s the human relationship aspect that really bent me. I imagine anyone who has moved around alot residentially will indulge in this tale and the lesson it gives. It wasn’t what I expected going into it, but I liked it a lot by the waste.

One uncommon aspect which may be the culture gap between Asia & ROW: the record could almost be aimed at 10 year olds (and up) and then BANG! the girls are all in the bath together. More nudity here than in Cherish Hina, Chobits and others of similar ilk. I’m not complaining mind, but the 16 up age restriction must have petite the market.

So, with regard to the above - 4 stars. There is better out there and this is not famous viewing, but you won’t approach away feeling you’ve wasted your money.

This is the second disk in a three disk series, and the episodes on this disk inaugurate to pay-off on the premise area up in the first four episodes. These four episodes do itsy-bitsy to define the mysteries of the series - like who the girls really are - what is this quest they are on - and why do they sustain talking to dandelions? Once again, the episodes are almost marred by an excess of “fan service” - which, I guess, can be explained by a series based on a hentai game - but the series begings to introduce some serious elements among all the goofiness. The sisters start to experience some of the consequences of their traveling through time and plot, and, due to a misadventure, are tragically separated. And Ai has a brief care for affair with somebody who may be a hero or a villain. I began to dread that the producers were going to “Tenchi Muyo” us by suddenly introducing world shattering villans and giving the heroines sudden mysterious natty abilities to combat the threat, but, instead, they threw a curve and instead give us an episode about a Shinto shrine maiden who longs to experience a Christmas party and her cranky grandfather who wants to give her a Christmas demonstrate but doesn’t want to violate his Shinto vows in doing so. I was left thinking “where is this series taking us? ” which is not a awful thing for the middle fragment of a myth arc. The emotions the girls displayed when the sisters meet up again (and I trust I am not spoiling the “surprise” since the abet of the DVD gives away the reunion) compose the episodes worthwhile. Anybody who has brothers or sisters with whom they bicker and tease but secretly care for will empathise with the Ai, Mai and Mii. Be positive to have flouride toothpaste on hand, as the final episode on the disk is so sweet it will induce cavities.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

“Rozen Maiden: Träumend - Complete Area” is an anime series that sports a lot of colors. For the most piece, this is a TV inviting series and of course, television series in Japan are created in a short deadline and not as great detail. But for the most section, the majority of the series takes site inside Jun’s home or total darkness, so background art is not as prominent but you do accept scenes with lush, magnificent painted scenery and backgrounds. If anything, more attention was build on the characters and the dolls in battle.

It’s also principal to emphasize that this is a television series and not an OAV or film. So, production quality is going to remarkable lower. But overall, I enjoyed the character designs for the engrossing series and the account of “Rozen Maiden: Träumend” made things considerable more toothsome for me.

As for audio, the English dub is presented in English Dolby Digital and the Japanese language in Stereo. The series is at the most piece, all dialogue with some scenes sporting battles (this is more towards the later half of the series) between the Rozen Maiden dolls. I listened to both audio soundtracks and both are well-done.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

“Rozen Maiden: Träumend - Complete Situation” comes with the following special features:

DISC 1:

* Textless OP theme and Geneon Trailers

DISC 2:

* Textless Ending theme and Geneon Trailers

DISC 3:

* Japanese TV CM’s and Geneon Trailers

JUDGMENT CALL:

The final complete place for “Rozen Maiden: Träumend” (the second season) has arrived in the US and I’m quite thrilled that FUNimation has released the series as a complete place.

After the first two volumes were released in America through Geneon in 2007, due to Geneon’s corporate dwelling, “Rozen Maiden: Träumend” was among many titles that were canceled.

Fortunately, in 2008, Geneon and FUNimation Entertainment announced an agreement to distribute purchase titles in North America and while Geneon has the license, FUNimation Entertainment will have the irregular rights for the sales and distribution for the titles which include “Rozen Maiden: Träumend”.

The belief of living dolls may seem a bit freaky for some people but in Japan, there is a vast collector-based for “Volks” dolls. As there are many guys who accept action figures and mecha machines in Japan (and also in the US), the Volks dolls are quite an accomplishment for collectors who need to gain them and in the destroy result, these dolls are well-crafted and quite exquisite.

Of course, in America, the conception of dolls coming alive are seen in anxiety films (”Chucky” anyone? ) and I for one, have always plan of dolls coming alive to be horrifying (yes, as a youngster, I threw out my sister’s dolls because I idea they were possessed) . But overall, the idea of “Rozen Maiden” has never troubled me or freaked me out and I have to admit, “Rozen Maiden: Träumend” was a remarkable darker series than its predecessor and I have to admit that I enjoyed the overall storyline and this idea of how the dolls must fight to the death for the purpose of being “Alice”.

It’s hard to bellow the cuteness of the series and their beget character traits. Where this series could have been cliche and annoying, overall their possess personal quirks is what makes the series so fun. I really had fun watching this series.

With “Rozen Maiden: Träumend”, you accumulate a gracious balance of lighthearted humor and action. Whereas the first series focused on Jun and how the dolls have helped him overcome his “hikkimori”, this series features on character development of the dolls and how speedy they are place into a plot that they don’t want to be. They honest want to be joyful but because their creator has assign together this “Alice Game”, they can’t bow out and resist. They must fight.

In the slay, I found “Rozen Maiden: Träumend” to be an scrumptious, cute and silly anime series. The lighthearted fun carries on for a small over half of the second series but it rapid becomes serious and more intense. But for the most share, the whole series held my attention with each episode and I fount that very chilly!

But now after watching this second season, I want more! One can only hope that we derive the two episode OAV “Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre” released soon in the US (this OAV supposedly gives us a study assist of why Suigintou and Shinku do not glean along) and hopefully we discover a recent series to continue the adventures of the Rozen Maiden dolls.

“Rozen Maiden: Träumend” is definitely a series worth recommending!

Rozen Maiden: Träumend is the second season of Rozen Maiden.

In a nutshell, a mighty mage named Rozen from the 18th century (revealed in the manga as Count St Germain) constructed seven dolls and imbued them with a living soul known as the Rosa Mystica. Their mission is to battle each other in what is known as the Alice Game, the winner obtaining the loser’s Rosa Mystica until the last one standing becomes Alice, a sincere girl of unmatched beauty and purity. To befriend them, it is expected they will score human partners they can expend as a power source for the current weapons and tactics each one possesses, but it appears this is optional as some of the dolls appear to not have human partners.

The first six of seven dolls in their order of creation are:

1. Suigintou

2. Kanaria

3. Suiseiseki

4. Souseiseki

5. Shinku

6. Hinaichigo

In Rozen Maiden: Träumend, it appears the seventh doll calls herself Barasuishou, but truth is far different than first appearance.

Rozen Maiden: Träumend is really not for the kiddies. Though it is very light and funny, by Episode 7 the atmosphere takes a solid turn to the shaded and the body count starts to rise when three of these gothic lolita dolls are driven to slay the others within the Alice game while the other three desperately try to protect themselves and each other.

One of the death scenes is so exciting and so poignant, I have had male hard core anime fans confess that an anime moved them to tears.

My only complaints about Rozen Maiden: Träumend are the same I have with most anime.

1. Because the funding is iffy, the writers write their plots on the flee keeping the main points and creating many exiguous inconsistencies in the minor details. The more minor details they mess up, the more the epic loses credibility even though it may remain proper to the main storyline. The more you mess up, the more retcom you have to do in future stories to true the inconsistencies.

2. Japanese anime does not hesitate to exercise Christian symbols and churches as locales, but their belief of the worldview is incredibly naive. In Rozen Maiden: Träumend, Christianity is stale more as a gothic symbol of death.

3. A caricature of English romance literature is having the two people peep at each others eyes and recount their names. That happens a lot of times in anime and a lot in Rozen Maiden: Träumend. If you gash out every scene where Jun and Shinku expose each others names assist and forth to insist emotion (despair, affection, apology, etc.), the entire anime would have been about two episodes shorter.

4. If you are going to have major characters die, their death has got to mean something and can’t be wiped away by mere platitudes that are given as shallow and unconvincing explanations. Yes, it’s anime, but if you are going to address the vast topics (fate, death, responsibility, purpose), you had better advance up with some titanic answers other than a shallow paradigm that’s 3,000 miles wide and only 3 inches deep.

All in all, I would aloof recommend Rozen Maiden: Träumend to anyone who is enthusiastic. Impartial be aware that though I found the anime to be outstanding, it isn’t perfect.

This is the first of two Hardy Boys serials that originally appeared in “The Mickey Mouse Club”. You will not derive “The Mickey Mouse Club” on this DVD, fair The Hardy Boys segments. In the mid 1990’s the Disney Channel (cable tv) removed some of the MMC serials from the shows and created current half-hour shows of honest those stories. Modern opening & closing titles were created for these modern mini-series.

The then-famous song “Gold Doubloons & Pieces of Eight” introduces you to “The Mystery Of Applegate’s Adore”. A serialized tale loosely based on the first Hardy Boys book “The Tower Cherish”.

Starring:

Tim Considine (of Inch & Marty fame) as Frank Hardy.

Tommy Kirk (Outmoded Yeller & The Shaggy Dog) as Joe Hardy.

Purists will be disappointed that they are not getting the complete, unedited, hour-long “Mickey Mouse Club” shows that these ran in, but fans will smooth delight in these re-edited episodes. However, Disney promises that the teaser episode (which was never included in the Disney Channel re-edited versions) will believe the entire hour long Mickey Mouse Club episode!

I grew up a child of the 1970’s, and was riveted to “The Hardy Boys - The Mystery of The Applegate Like” in reruns of “The Micky Mouse Club” which were airing on a local residence. I would tune in daily, and I believe they only showed “The Hardy Boys” serial once a week (it was originally shown three times a week) and I collected choose the accelerate of excitement which I felt when they skull and crossbones came on hide of the Hardy Boys introduction. By incompatibility, though I faithfully sat through “The Mickey Mouse Club” each day, it was always a cramped feeling of disappointment when the display aired without a “Hardy Boys” installment. Anyway, all this is one of the few of my early television memories which I have not been able to revisit until now (I don’t have the Disney Channel) .

Thanks to Leonard Maltin’s always respectable treatment, I can say that for me, revisiting the expose after more than 30 years has not been a letdown in the slightest. Clear, the yarn is a bit on the simplistic side, but the lovely acting and ultra-atmospheric sets (often at night) assume me help not only to my childhood, but to an earnest time in the US when al-Qaeda wasn’t a household word. It has been more fun for me to revisit this installment in Maltin’s “Walt Disney Treasures” series perhaps than any other.

The extras are fun, though I wish there were more. It’s titanic to study Considine and Kirk reunited after 50 years and it’s nice that they seem to genuinely catch along so well.

I remember “Slump and Marty” which was decent (and also fun to revisit in another Maltin DVD residence), but when it comes to the MMC serials, it is this one which I will always remember most fondly, and which to me holds up the best.
