     (2008)      "The episodes in Wagon Train: The Complete Color Season are just plain well-written, superiorly-acted, flat-out entertaining oaters, distinguished by complex, character-driven stories." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1937)      "Certainly nothing to tax the brain, Waikiki Wedding is an entertaining piece of fluff, expertly crafted to lift the spirits of Depression-era America." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1972)      "Not nearly as controversial as fans remember, this standard animated sitcom owes a lot to All in the Family, but still manages to be stylish fun on its own." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "Measured, methodical, and tightly scripted, Waking the Dead: The Complete Season Two is a crackerjack police procedural suspenser, with a solid cast and an admirably restrained production." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2005)      "Joaquin Phoenix is electrifying as the troubled Cash, and Reese Witherspoon joins the ranks - with this performance alone - of the screen's great actresses with her stunning, heartbreaking portrayal of June Carter Cash." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
3/5
     (2005)      Click here to see the review! [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2006)      "Surprisingly entertaining in a totally undemanding way, Walking Tall: The Payback is clean, mean, and not too far between its open and exit times. On-point and nicely executed." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2005)      "Critically missing a motive for Wallis' actions here, a decidedly simplified, romanticized Wallis & Edward still manages to entertain with two engaging lead performances, a nicely constructed script, and a smooth, assured production." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1957)      "Annette is a sprightly, expertly-crafted serial that showcases the best of Disney thematic concerns from this period of their live-action productions, with a talented cast of old pros and newcomers under the skillful direction of Charles Lamont." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1956)      "For the parent who wants to buy their young child an entertaining mystery series, The Hardy Boys %u2013 The Mickey Mouse Club: 1956 - 1957 is a safe bet." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1927)      "Energetic, rambunctious, and filled with plenty of elemental, rowdy slapstick gags, the Oswald cartoons have a primitive appeal that will delight modern viewers (as long as you're not overly sensitive about harmless, innocent cartoon violence)." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1947)      "Donald moves smoothly from previous war-time concerns to the battlefield of the American Suburban Home." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1947)      "These wholesome, entertaining programs are the very definition of family programming. As well, for the animation buff and Disney scholar, the Walt Disney Treasures compilations are invaluable teaching tools, as well as pristine collections of class" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "A cheap, easy way to introduce a young viewer to classic Disney animation." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "Great for anyone who wants to introduce a young child to the magic of Disney animation." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2008)      "A once-great series clearly in artistic decline." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1976)      "A season of great change, The Waltons: The Complete Fifth Season is a bittersweet experience for loyal fans of the series. Fortunately, the writing this season is as strong as ever, and the excellent cast excel in their finely-drawn characterizati" [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1975)      "The Waltons: The Complete Fourth Season is a terrific season from one of the best TV dramas of the 1970s." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2009)      "Isolated moments remind one of the series at its best (the Baldwin Sisters have one of the series' best subplots in the final episode), but overall, a confused tone and wildly inconsistent plotting and characterizations sink this season, ending the series" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1977)      "A tense, unsettled season for this still-powerful family drama, The Waltons: The Complete Sixth Season has the final performances of Will Geer, and a triumphant return for actress Ellen Corby." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2005)      "If you love road pictures, you're not going to hear anything in Wanderlust that you didn't know already." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1998)      "Generalized to be sure, but War and Civilization's global, generational sweep admirably attempts to ground the viewer in the very origins of war, while covering in an entertaining fashion, most of the major conflicts of the last 3,000 years." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1972)      "Sports a clean, logical script that expertly conveys Tolstoy's poetic, interior searchings of his conflicted characters set against a grand-scale historical canvas. The cast, with the critical exception of Morag Hood as Natasha, is uniformly excellent." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1970)      "It's just that so much of War of the Gargantuas makes little to no sense, that all we're left with is the experience of staring at the various attacks of the gargantua, and even that wears thin after awhile (god, please stop that "Chert! Chert!" of" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2007)      "Moving and playing more like a fast-paced thriller than a staid documentary, Warlords takes the unique approach of examining the psychological "mind games" that the four mighty warlords of WWII -- FDR, Churchill, Stalin and Hitler -- played on each" [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "Attention all dreamy romantics: Warner Bros. Romance Classics Collection is right up your alley, featuring three high-gloss sudsers (and one romantic comedy) featuring the boyish, clean-cut good looks of Troy Donahue." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "The Warner Bros. Pictures Gangsters Collection: Vol. 3 contains a sensation collection of lesser-celebrated Warner Bros. gangster flicks, with some terrific turns by the gangster Holy Trinity: Cagney, Robinson and Bogart." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2006)      "Warplane skillfully moves through the major innovations in military warplanes, making the exciting historical progression from cloth and wood propeller planes to high-tech pilotless drones sound like a breathless thriller." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "Spectacular photography and pulsating soundtracks make the Warren Miller ski and snowboarding films a subgenre unto themselves." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1940)      "Straightforward melodrama not condescended to, with equal parts romance and tragedy combined for a heavy swoon effect." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1970)      "The drug angle certainly helps, but lines like, "Right now is all there is," and "I get my enjoyment out of staring at people," keep Weekend With the Babysitter ineptly amusing." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1975)      "The first season of Welcome Back, Kotter was probably the best, so for nostaligia overload, revisiting this iconic 1970s sitcom goes down surprisingly easy." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1975)      "Fans of drive-in exploitation fare will no doubt enjoy Welcome to the Grindhouse Double Feature: Pick-Up and The Teacher, a fun double-dose of nudity and blatant ineptitude, 1970s-style. Just remember: if the movies were actually good, it wouldn't" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1961)      "Still dazzling to look at and hear, West Side Story is nonetheless lopsided by the miscasting of Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer when viewed against the dynamism of terrific supporters George Chakiris, Rita Moreno and Russ Tamblyn." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1959)      "If you think television was safe and bland and stodgy back in the fifties, you need to watch What Makes Sammy Run? pronto. Larry Blyden seemingly comes out of nowhere to deliver one of the best interpretations of a Hollywood creep you'll ever see." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "The jokes, if you can call them that, are tired, the villains look good but aren't particularly scary, and nobody seems to want to punish the perpetrators of kidnapings, assaults, property damage, and terrorizing the citizenry. What happened, Scooby-Doo?" [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2006)      "If you're really hung up on the idea that they updated your favorite 1970s cartoon without your permission or approval -- maybe you need to take a break from Scoob and the gang for awhile." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1966)      "Fans of Woody Allen who may have forgotten this early incarnation of the "Allen as intellectual horn dog" persona will probably enjoy this the most." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1980)      "When Time Ran Out... is a truly terrible, joyless film - not bad enough in an ironic fashion to be funny or laughable, just...mind-numbingly awful." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1992)      "Clean and concise, Where's Jimmy Hoffa? The Life and Disappearance of a Labor Legend gives an excellent background history of the notorious labor leader, but it certainly doesn't answer the central riddle of its own title." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1997)      "Not ballsy enough for a Mafia flick, and not respectful to the "chick flick" conventions to give us some vicarious romantic thrills, doing a real disservice to both genres, and winding up a pretty bore." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1966)      "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woof? exists now as one of the seminal dramas of the modern screen." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
          "An activity-packed seventy minutes of engaging songs, educational activities, and mild, gentle humor from the personable Aussie performing group, The Wiggles." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1966)      "Strikingly original, with a otherworldly, ominous pull to its comic book action, The Wild Wild West mixes elements from various genres with abandon, and creates one of the most compelling, entertaining series to come out of the 1960s." [dvd review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (1945)      "There are plenty of chances for Steele to hop into the saddle, and draw-down on the bad guys, while the simple story of rustlers and a misunderstood horse goes down easy with the converted." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2007)      "Will your child want to watch these more than once, when they've probably already seen them a few times on TV? And with only three episodes included on the disc, you have to weight that relatively paltry number against the price of the disc." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2008)      "My, how nervous some people get when their P.C. cage is rattled a little bit? Remember: the ultimate goal of American comedy is to be an equal-opportunity offender." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com

     (2007)      "Brightly animated with agreeably short running times, these little charmers won't bother parents looking for something to watch with their kids." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com   
  
     (2007)      "Another dose of the Wonder Pets! didn't hurt at all. These really are cute, and kids adore them." [movie review]      DVDTalk.com
