NFL America's Game: 1967 PACKERS (Super Bowl II)

Regular-Season Footage
This is a DVD of a TV show that was broadcast on NFL Network.

It contains the usual in-depth converage of the Ice Bowl and Super Bowl II, but what I enjoyed most is the footage of the regular season of the 1967 Green Bay Packers.

That's what will make this DVD a valuable part of my collection and make me want to watch it again.

My Pal Gus

Great Family Movie!
I love this movie. Saw it for the first time on Turner Classics. Great talent, acting, movie score, story, etc. What I especially loved about this movie was how the relationship between father and son slowly grew into a truly loving one and proved what really matters in life. The last scene is very touching - it's the Dad who finally realizes the true meaning of wealth -- and it is not measured by dollars. When you are forced to choose, it's not as difficult as it may seem. Great movie for family together time. You will not regret buying this one!

A great classic !
Richard Widmark was an under appreciated actor ! This gem of a film reminds us of a better time in America when love counted for more than wealth.

My Pal Gus
It was refreshing to see Richard Widmark's character as a good guy instead of of a bad guy. He has been one of my favorite actors and I like his portrayal in this film.

Dieux Du Stade (Le Making Of Calendar 2013)

Don't even bother buying it.
I bought this through Amazon Marketplace from a store in Canada and I can tell you that it is even worse than the one from last year. They just keep getting worse and worse as the years go by. It has a stupid concept (a boat trip, mostly) and almost all the scenes have all the guys in one group instead of being alone or in small groups as in the good years. And by the way, it is censored. What a waste of money.

The very first Dieux Du Stade Calendar, 2005 and 2006 showed more total body, why did that have to stop

MUST HAVE FOR 2013! THE ULTIMATE FRAN

Marx Brothers: Collection

Good but not quite great...
Fans of the Marx Brothers movies have had to wait a long time to finally see their heroes done justice on the DVD format. Image Entertainment released a now out-of-print box set a few years ago with simply awful transfers and no extras. Hopes were raised when Warner Brothers announced that they would be releasing their own box set this year. The good news is that the Warners discs feature excellent transfers of every movie with a solid collection of supplemental material. The bad news is that many of the Marx Brothers most famous and beloved early films, like The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers are not included set. So what exactly does one get with this new box set?

The first film in the set is A Night at the Opera, arguably one of the Marx Brothers best films of their career. It was the first film after they were pushed out of Paramount Studios because of the commercial and critical failure of Duck Soup.

Opera was a huge hit and put the Marx Brothers back on the map. They wisely...

To help clear up some of the confusion ...
As mentioned elsewhere, this collection does not include any of the complete films, but rather tv & misc. other clips. Since I will probably return the item, I haven't yet broken the seal and cannot comment on the quality. However, I should note that the total run-time is approx. 5 hours -- much less than one would assume for a 5-disc set.

If you are looking for more content information, don't bother with Koch Vision Entertainment's site. They are clearly not enthuastic about revealing more details about this release.

The discs are:
#1 "Inside the Marx Brothers" (this is sold separately, as well)
#2 "You Bet Your Life" TV Pilot
#3 "Papa Romani" and "Person-to-Person"
#4 "The Marx Brothers Radio Days" (is this just an audio CD?)
#5 "Marx Brothers Mixed Nuts"

For the price, perhaps it's not all that bad, but there still isn't a good set of their films out there yet.

The amazon.co.uk set DOES contain complete films (four of them, I believe), but the...

So disappointed
The title is VERY misleading

I was expecting a collection of the movies but instead it is comprised of old clips

Don't buy if you are expecting the movies

NFL America's Game: 1986 GIANTS (Super Bowl XXI)

Another season highlight film worth a purchase
NFL Network's production of "America's Game" has a documentary covering the season of each Super Bowl winner. They add a new perspective never before seen in previously released documentaries, from 2 - 3 players and sometimes the head coach. This one is no different, offering some very interesting insight into the Giants' first Super Bowl run. No beeps over cuss words, just pure 100% insight from the men who lived it, in their own words. Definitely worth the purchase, especially if you are a Giants fan!

complete garbage
I was expecting the entire game and got nothing of the sort. They showed about a minutes worth of highlights and that was it. I only wanted this game because a friend of mine snuck on the Giants sideline without even having a ticket to enter the stadium, and I wanted to view him because he is in many shots and even held down the umpires arm and called the first down himself (this is how he got caught). He was also the only civilian to make it onto the field when the Mets beat Boston that same year in the World Series. After Jesse Orosco strikes out the last batter and throws up his glove, you see my friend Kevin run on the field, you cant miss him. He is wearing a blue shirt, and runs out right behind home plate. He also snuck into that game into 2nd row seats and was sitting 2 seats away from the president. I don't understand why a full game cannot be purchased, it doesn't make any sense!

NFL America's Game: 1993 COWBOYS (Super Bowl XXVIII)

Very Good DVD
This was the second consecutive Super Bowl for the Cowboys in the 90's. It is pretty good but not near as good as Super Bowl XXVII. I'm not sure if it is the editing or what. I am not knowledgeable about such thing.
