Chonda Pierce Did I Say That Out Loud?



LOL good & obviously aimed for the girls
A MAN REVIEWING CHONDA PIERCE FIRST. Saints preserve us! Chonda will be man-bashing me in her next stand-up routine, for being the 1st Amazon reviewer of "Did I Say That Out Loud?" This DVD was my wife's gift from her girl-friend, and I watched too. Have to admit she had me laughing-out-loud at times, snickering more, also smiling, and catching a few of her man-shots aimed at the gents because most of her live audience was the girls-of all ages.

Chonda is a Christian Phyllis Diller. She makes fun of herself, a fast-paced self-bashing comedienne who often laughs along with her audience, like the late Red Skelton. Leave it to a man to compare Chonda to a male. Sorry girls. She loves to use the line "In't tha-at pree-cious?" No topic is sacred while performing at World Outreach Church, Murfreesburo, TN, her claimed hometown.

Her stand-up routine is followed with a question & answer session proving her impromptu comedy is at peak performance. Then, by audience...

Love, Love, Love
I was a little nervous since on ordering this since I had a partial act of Chondra's while channel surfing and stopping on a religous channel. She cracked me up and had the preacher wide eyed on the parts I did catch. On ordering the DVD, she had some new material and was still hilarious. I showed this to my christian friend and jewish friend and bot were rolling off the coach with laughter. At the end, they both thanked me for sharing the DVD with them.

Funny Girl
Chonda is funny. It is a blessing to see her with so much sadness in her history to be able to keep a sense of humor and praise the Lord every chance she gets.

Drury Outdoors Longbeard Madness 15



The Best Long Beard Madness yet!
The Drury's best turkey hunting video by far! All the hunts are up close and personal and the bow hunts are stellar!

Drury - Longbeard 15 DVD
Too much music in background. Been hunting a lot of times, but never heard music.

Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami



Good DVD Release
Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami Season One DVD features all 8 episodes of the first season. Every episode is on the first disc along with the special features. It includes deleted scenes and bonus interviews. Also, it includes the extended version of the first episode that only aired once. The second disc features Keeping Up With The Kardashians: The Wedding special along with deleted scenes from the episode. Promos for Keeping Up With The Kardashians seasons 1 and 2 are on the DVD before the menu. The DVD also includes an ad inside for the second season along with an episode list with summaries of each episode. The only bad things about this release is that it is censored and the theme song is changed. It features just instrumental music instead of "I'm In Miami Trick". Overall, it is a good DVD release, but could be improved.

GOOD DVDS
This A great dvd it includes all eight epidodes plus the hour and a half movie,it has two discs.
i have been a fan of them since 2008 they are very entertaining and fun
Great quality,except they are the same cheap cases so yoou may wanna have a backup case if you dont like the one included,but i bought when it first came out at a very good price reccomend it to any fan of Kardashians or collector

What Can I Say, I LOVE The Kardashians!
I can't keep up with them and I can't take Miami, but I can live vicariously through them by watching their shows :-)

Gnomes & Trolls



Gnomes & Trolls
This review is based on how much my grandson enjoyed the movie, which makes sense, because it is a movie for children. He is 5 years old and I came across it on our tv's pay-per-view. As soon as he got a glimpse of it, he went on about how "this is the movie I wanted to see." Don't know where he saw it, but well, he watched it OVER and OVER again. I had to "buy" the movie 3 times. Don't know if you know how it works, but when you "buy" a movie on tv, you can watch it for 24 hours. Okay, so the last time he watched it (lastnight), I watched his facial expressions, and he was smiling and laughing, and even after having watched it so many times, he still enjoyed it. As soon as he came home from school yesterday, he asked to see it again. That's why I decided that I needed to buy it, because it wasn't going to be in pay-per-view forever. For little boys, I'm sure they will love it!

A Fairly Lackluster CGI Affair
Let me start out this review with a very important disclosure: Gnomes and Trolls doesn't do anything wrong; so much as it simply doesn't bring anything memorable to the equation. I open with what should, by all facts and circumstances, should be the conclusion of this report because you are surely perusing reviews so as to determine if this film is worth your (and maybe your family's) time. In that line of thinking you can certainly do worse than to pick this DVD up (especially if you're going to rent it) but it should be said that you could do much better as well. That said, let's take a look at the facts shall we?

Gnomes & Trolls is actually a Swedish film that came out back in 2009 called Gnomes and Trolls: The Secret Chamber. It was then brought over to the Region 1 market in 2010. Here it gets a little bit confusing because right as The Secret Chamber was coming out over here, a sequel was released in Sweden called the Gnomes and Trolls: The Forest Trial. Don't...

Lifeless
A pretty dull affair. We watched it with our 5 year old boy and he did not have the reaction of the boy mentioned in the other review. Not sure why but there is something seriously lacking in this movie. The animation is sub-par by today's standards and the character's vague and unsympathetic. Not very well done.

Garfield (The Movie / Tale of Two Kitties (Double Feature)



Fun
A bit hit in My house :)And 2 movies in one pack is always a high priority :) Loved it.

Garfield
Garfield : The Movie is a little more violent then Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties. It was bought for a 2 year old who is crazy about Garfield. She loves Tale of Two Kitties, but became upset over Odie's treatment in The Movie.

great value
my son loves both of these movies so I was really happy to find both of them together for a great price

Soap : Season 2



SOAP - finally the trial gets resolved! SEASON TWO!
SOAP was amazing when it aired, and it still has a lot going for it. The slapstick scenes are impeccable, the comedy is brilliant and sharp, and the heartwrenching scenes are so well done! It's the story of two sisters and their respective families - Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. In true soap opera form in this second season someone is convicted of murder wrongly, everyone seems to have an affair, several people have near nervous breakdowns, somebody gets kidnapped by aliens, impossible love rears its head several times, and somebody forgets who they are! This doesn't even BEGIN to cover all that happens!

SOAP moved at lightning speed doing what most soap operas take years to develop. I watched it back in the days it was on, and I was afraid it would not hold up well. Guess what? It does! SOAP was funny because of the characters not topical discussions. Sure there are plenty of 70s touches - the costumes, the way the show looks, but it's still funny and moving. The ensemble was...

The best SOAP season FINALLY on DVD!
Most Soap fans will probably agree that the show's second season ranks as its best. Not only do we get the full cast returning from season one, but there's John Byner as lovestruck Detective Donahue, and Donnely Rhodes as Chester's partner-in-crime, Dutch. Billy Tate finally gets a chance to shine. And Chuck and Bob's "mindreading" act has to be one of the most inspired bits of nonsense ever dreamed up by the writers in 4 years of...well, inspired nonsense.

But...I don't want to give away too much. You just have to see for yourself the sidesplitting, often absurb moments...and the occasional heart-tugging ones. Robert Guillame picked up an Emmy. But my favorite actor, and character, is still Richard Mulligan's Burt Campbell.

Confused? You won't be, after watching the 20-minute featurette, "Creators Come Clean." Witness Soap creators Susan Harris, Tony Thomas, and the impossibly chatty Paul Witt wax nostalgic about casting the landmark...

even better than the first season!
The second season of SOAP picks up the story right after the cliffhanger ending of season one. Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond) has been convicted of murdering Peter, and now is about to be sent to prison. But as we know, she is innocent. Her husband Chester (Robert Mandan) confesses his guilt and Jessica is a free woman.

This season has many many plots going at once (much more than season one which mainly focused on establishing the relationships and the dominating storyline of Peter's murder and the subsequent trial).

Chester's incarceration and escape from prison sets up the main story for season two. He hides out in the Tate cellar with fellow escapee Dutch (Donnelly Rhodes) who later becomes the unlikely love interest of Eunice (Jennifer Salt). Corrine's (Diana Canova) marriage to `fallen priest' Timothy Flotski ( Sal Viscuso) and Danny's (Ted Wass) marriage to Mob boss' daughter Elaine (Dinah Manoff) are the 2 big weddings of the season.

Soap : Season 1



NOTE - 4 Episodes are Edited - Inexcusable for DVD
As soon as this set came out, I posted below, enthusiastic about receiving complete, unedited episodes, even to the point of excusing the absence of extras.

I was wrong. As discussed by others below and on the Yahoo Soap Group, a comparison of the DVD episodes with the complete, unedited episodes on the Columbia House videotapes shows that 4 DVD episodes are edited:

Episode 2 - Edits out Jody singing "There's Nothing Like a Dame" and the tune the Godfather hums after Danny leaves the sauna.

Episodes 16 and 17 are the syndicated versions, each missing 2 and 1/2 minutes from the complete episodes.

Episode 19 deletes the "On the last episode on Soap" intro.

It should be noted that the company issuing Soap on DVD, Columbia TriStar, also puts out Sanford and Son on DVD, and that a second season DVD episode of Sanford and Son, "Blood is thicker than Junk" incredibly edits out 2 and 1/2 minutes which appear on the syndicated version.

All of this,...

Excellent Show That Deserves a Better DVD
What can I say about this groundbreaking hit TV show from 1977 that other reviewers haven't already said? This is an excellent, hilarious soap opera spoof that focuses on two familes whose only link is the matriachs, Jessica and Mary, two sisters. Well, Jessica is also sleeping with Mary's stepson, so I guess there are more links. Several funny storylines are woven together in this first season, culiminating with a classic murder mystery that stretches for twelve of the 25 episodes.

This is definitely a five star TV show, but the DVD production is severely lacking. Not only are a couple of episodes edited, as previously reported, but there are no extras to speak of (unless you count movie trailers). I can easily recommend this collection to purchase, just due to the excellent episodes of this series that you will get. However, Soap deserved more effort from Columbia House, and one can only hope they release season two with complete, unedited episodes. Knowing their history,...

Television's Landmark Comedy
At long last, "Soap" comes to DVD. An avid fan of the show since it originally aired in the 70's, I own the series on VHS but am estatic about the DVD release for a few reasons. Not only do I look forward to selecting which episodes to watch over and over again, ANY extras will just be icing on this delicious cake. But beyond that, having Season One on DVD means that there's a commitment to releasing future seasons of this quinti-sensational laugh-riot-of-a-comedy. Now I know what my friends are getting for Christmas this year!

Ruthlessly funny and irreverent, SOAP was like a breath of fresh air when it first made its network appearance 25 years ago. My best friend and I would literally watch each episode together - eithe rin person or on the phone, mostly to share the immediacy of the funniest gags we'd ever scene, but also to ensure one of us would remember all the lines the next day. With a cast of characters that quite honestly DEFINED the word CHARACTERS "Soap" ranks as...
