194	George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic: The Mothership Connection			NR	1985	Geneon Entertainment	Music DVDs - Concerts
George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic: The Mothership Connection Theatrical: 1985 Studio: Geneon Entertainment Genre: Music DVDs - Concerts Rated: NR Date Added: 02/07/2005 Sound: Dolby Summary: If you think P-Funk is good on record, you will hyped by seeing them in concert. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see these guys live, so this is the closest thing I have to the memorable and elaborate shows that P-Funk held in the mid to late 70's. All of the songs get two thumbs from me. The highlights of this show is the always great "Cosmic Slop," with Garry Shider at his best, "Standing on the Verge of Getting it On," where Fuzzy Haskins goes crazy, "Swing Down, Sweet Chariot," with Glen Goins at his all-time best, and the grand finale of "Tear the Roof off the Sucka" and "Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples" in which Bootsy/Bootsy's Rubber Band along with Sly and the Family Stone make guest appearences. You feel like your actually there and it is almost irresistable to not dance. The lighting really isn't an issue, though it is hard to see what is what at times. It's only minor, though, and shouldn't sour this P-Funk odyssey. I recommend to any fan who has either seen the Funk Mob live, or not.

Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall. The Godfather sets the scene for a trilogy of entertainment, and one of the most acclaimed movies of all time. THE GODFATHER PART II: Upon its release The Godfather: Part II was hailed as the best sequel to a movie ever made, however this film is much more than that.

That sucessor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia), but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. Francis Ford Coppola directs Pacino, Gracia, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Sofia Coppola, Joe Mantegna and others in this final chapter of the Godfather saga that masterfully explores the themes of power, tradition, revenge and love.

199	Godzilla - Final Wars			PG-13	2004	Sony Pictures	Asian Cinema, Science Fiction & Fantasy
Godzilla - Final Wars Theatrical: 2004 Studio: Sony Pictures Genre: Asian Cinema, Science Fiction & Fantasy Rated: PG-13 Date Added: 13/04/2006 Sound: Dolby Summary: Godzilla's 50th Anniversary project and costliest adventure to date out of 28 films. Earth has been relatively peaceful since Godzilla was successfully buried deep in ice beneath the South Pole. Then - sometime a few years hence-several of his old nemeses return to wreak havoc on cities worldwide. A huge spaceship suddenly appears and neutralizes all the monsters in a blink. The visitors are "Xiliens," who take human form and announce they would like to negotiate a peace treaty that would replace the United Nations with a "United Universe". They are indeed too good to be true, however. It doesn't take long before their nefarious real purpose is exposed - conquering Earth. Greatly outmatched, Earth officials decide to de-freeze Godzilla as man's only hope to vanish the invaders, as well as the monsters they control. Only trouble is Godzilla is still mad at man for freezing him in the first place.

201	Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla	Masâki Tezuka		NR	2002	Columbia Tristar Hom	Asian Cinema, Science Fiction & Fantasy
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla Masâki Tezuka Theatrical: 2002 Studio: Columbia Tristar Hom Genre: Asian Cinema, Science Fiction & Fantasy Rated: NR Date Added: 31/01/2005 Sound: Dolby Summary: Japan's favorite city-wrecker faces his most formidable enemy--a robot version of himself--in this sci-fi adventure, which packs enough action to satisfy fans of giant-creature brawls. As with the previous films in the unofficial "Godzilla Millennium" series (which reinvented the Toho canon following the release of Godzilla 2000), Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla dismisses all of the monster's previous rampages after its initial appearance in 1954, including his three showdowns with MechaGodzilla. Here, the massive robot is constructed using DNA from the 1954 Godzilla (still moldering in Tokyo Bay) to combat a new one that threatens Japan. Director Maasaki Tezuki (Godzilla vs. Megaguirus) favors action over story, which may displease hardcore Godzilla fans, but the battles are spectacular, and clips from older Toho titles like Mothra and War of the Gargantuas are always a welcome sight (as is a cameo by the Yankees' Hideki Matsui!). As with other Columbia-TriStar Godzilla DVDs, this widescreen disc offers viewers two language options: the original Japanese dialogue track (with English or French subtitles) and an English-dubbed track. --Paul Gaita Godzilla

Soon, the real Godzilla along with King Caesar join forces in an epic struggle to save mankind. A monster from space fights the monsters of old in one of the best Godzilla films of the series!

203	Goin' South			PG	1978	Paramount	Comedy
Goin' South Theatrical: 1978 Studio: Paramount Genre: Comedy Duration: 108 Rated: PG Date Added: 09/11/2008 Languages: English Subtitles: English Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono Picture Format: Widescreen Summary: Nicholson directed and starred in this Western spoof about an outlaw who is saved from hanging by a young widow (Mary Steenburgen) who puts him to work as an indentured servant. She has a gold mine that no one knows about and she wants him to help her get the gold before anyone else finds out. But, of course, his old gang--who gave him up to the law in the first place--finds out about the mine and wants a piece of it. This was filmed in the late 1970s, when drug use was rampant (and not particularly frowned upon) in Hollywood; keep that in mind when you listen to Nicholson's stuffy-nose delivery. Alternately amusing and flat, with a cast that includes Steenburgen in her first movie role and John Belushi in a tiny part as a member of the gang, also making his film debut.

205	Grave of the Fireflies	Isao Takahata	Akiyuki Nosaka	Unrated	1996	Central Park Media Corporation (I) (II)	Asian Cinema, Anime
Grave of the Fireflies Isao Takahata Theatrical: 1996 Studio: Central Park Media Corporation (I) (II) Genre: Asian Cinema, Anime Rated: Unrated Writer: Akiyuki Nosaka Date Added: 17/11/2008 Summary: Isao Takahata's powerful antiwar film has been praised by critics wherever it has been screened around the world. When their mother is killed in the firebombing of Tokyo near the end of World War II, teenage Seita and his little sister Setsuko are left on their own: their father is away, serving in the Imperial Navy. The two children initially stay with an aunt, but she has little affection for them and resents the time and money they require. The two children set up housekeeping in a cave by a stream, but their meager resources are quickly exhausted, and Seita is reduced to stealing to feed his sister. The strength of "Grave of the Fireflies" lies in Takahata's evenhanded portrayal of the characters. A sympathetic doctor, the greedy aunt, the disinterested cousins all know there is little they can do for Seita and Setsuko. Their resources, like their country's, are already overtaxed: anything they spare endangers their own survival. As in the "Barefoot Gen" films, no mention is made of Japan's role in the war as an aggressor; but the depiction of the needless suffering endured by its victims transcends national and ideological boundaries.

Guns Of Navarone, The / Das Boot: The Director's Cut - 2 Movie Collector's Pack (2 Disc Set) Theatrical: Studio: Sony Pictures Genre: War Duration: 366 mins Rated: M Date Added: 08/03/2009 Languages: English Subtitles: English Sound: Dolby Digital 5.1 Picture Format: Widescreen Summary: The Guns of Navarone: Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven are Allied saboteurs assigned an impossible mission: infiltrate an impregnable Nazi-held island and destroy the two enormous long-range field guns that prevent the rescue of 2,000 trapped Britissh soldiers. Blacklisted Carl Foreman (High Noon, The Bridge On The River Kwai) was determined to re-establish both his name and credibility after spending most of the '50s working in anonymity. To accomplish this, he decided to bring Alistar Maclean?s best-selling novel, The Guns Of Navarone, to the screen. Das Boot: Inspired by the actual experiences of a WWII photojournalist. Wolfgang Petersen brings the life of a U-Boat crewman authentically alive with every moment of claustrophobic and explosive terror. Autumn, 1941: Forty-three young German sailors aboard U-96 enter the war against Britain seeking adventure, respect and heroism. For them, this voyage is for glory. For their captain, a seasoned war veteran at the young age of 30, it is a mission against enemy destroyers in a blood-red sea that can devour a ship and its crew without leaving a trace.
