Product Description

Following volume 1, The Adventures of Tintin returns for another 10 adventures on five discs. A Canadian production broadcast in the U.S. on HBO, the animated television series vividly captures the intrepid reporter Tintin and his colorful friends (including his dog, Snowy, the blustery Captain Haddock, the brilliant but absent-minded Professor Calculus, and the detective twins Thompson and Thomson) as they travel the world on adventures that mix action, mystery, and humor. The books were originally written in French by the Belgian author Herg� �, but the DVD set includes both French and English language tracks as well as French and English subtitles.

The Adventures of Tintin, Vols. 6-10 Review

I grew up reading The Adventures of Tintin, and they're nothing less than spectacular: great characters, thrilling plots, and an overall wonderful sense of adventure, friendship, humor and tenderness. Perhaps one of my fondest memories from childhood.

These French-Canadian animated series do try to be faithful to the original albums, but there's something missing. For one, they tend to be politically correct, so they skip most of the truly interesting moments (I would have loved to see "The Blue Lotus" in all its dramatic historical context). The comic strip was drawn mostly in the thirties, forties and fifties, when suttleties were not in fashion, and yes, there were ethnic stereotypes in it, as in everything else at the time. So what? That's part of its charm (see NOTE BELOW)!

Two, there's not enough time to tell these stories properly. The albums held the reader in suspense for hours; for a TV show to do so in minutes it's not possible. And it ain't the same.

Three, the series don't live up to their fantastic opening secuence, which promises something extraordinary. Those brief moments give the old Tintin aficionado the thrill he's expecting. Not that it all goes downhill from there, but the animation, although good, is no first class either. It would take a major DreamWorks production to achieve that. By the way, I heard Spielberg was working on a Tintin project. Any news? Someone?

P.S.: Watch out for several Herg� cameos a la Hitchcock throughout the episodes. He's the lanky blond gentleman with his hair combed in the middle.

NOTE BELOW: Hey, I'm Mexican and I don't get offended by "The Broken Ear"! In fact, I don't get offended at all! Not by Speedy Gonzalez, Slowpoke Rodriguez, Go Go Gomez, Jose Jimenez, Se�or Wences or any of that stuff (maybe Pat Buchanan, but he also makes me laugh)! On the contrary, this P.C. cr@p nobody enjoys really gets on my nerves! How come you can get "Birth of a Nation" on DVD but not "Song of the South"? Isn't it nonsense?

La Marge (Walerian Borowczyk) Review

"I promise never to betray you"With these precious words, the viewer is drawn into a visually complex, psychosexual morality play, starring the (...) seductive Sylvia Krystal as the streetwalker Diana, and the sensually stunning Joe Dallesandro as the seemingly happily married Sigimond.But don't let the Beauty of these two actors betray you: La Marge, or The Streetwalker, is a unerotic tableau filled with biblical allusions that foreshadow an idyllic fall.Director Walerian Borowczyck uses minimal dialogue, uncomfortable body language, and sharply contrasted shades of light and dark to weaken any hint of developing passion(...)."I promise never to betray you," Sigimond whispers to his indifferent wife at the beginning of La Marge.We then encounter Emmanuelle, (...) she is at an emotional crossroads, and has been lingering in Paris as a prostitute, using the name of Diana. She meets our enigmatic Sigimond, and soon falls in love with the gentleness of his love-making."I've never killed anybody, or hurt a soul. I'm not a liar or a cheat. I've never done any harm", Sigimond whispers, while driving down a dark, desolate road...This film is a visual odyssey of symbolism and allusion that should not be missed - this is not a film of the pornographic genre. This film is a modern masterpiece depicting adults who are unable to differentiate between love and lust.

Product Description

The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary sheperd who patiently plants and nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care. As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green again. A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person.

The Man Who Planted Trees Review

Whether you are a longtime fan of the work of Canada's Frederic Back, or you are just discovering the masters of animation, you'll both be equally and incredibly pleased with this four-disc anthology. Nine films are included: Abracadabra, Inon or the Conquest of Fire, The Creation of Birds, Illusion?, Taratata!, All Nothing, Crac!, The Mighty River and The Man Who Planted Trees -- as well as several insightful interviews and a documentary retrospective of the life and work of Frederic Back. All are presented beautifully, with each film looking and sounding fresh and well-cared for.

But beyond the presentation, these films (particularly The Man Who Planted Trees, Illusion? and The Mighty River) get to the heart of environmentalism and stewardship. They are not shrill or glib, not reactive or stalely didactic -- these films are awash with animism and life, each using this unique medium to exhalt the beauty of creation, and to exemplify the folly of excess. Back's impressionistic style flows like a river itself, rolling and moving and churning, urging us to face the simple truths of our abuses, and to consider the possibility of a more harmonious course.

I'll stop there, because I'm afraid I'm making Back's work sound contrived. Walt Disney once said that a true animated film could not be put into words, and he was right. I can only urge you to see these truly remarkable films, and to share them with the youngest generations.

The Preppie Murder Review

Tape arrived and it had to be rewound to start with and as I played it the picture went away and all there was was sound.
However I did send it back and got a complete refund for it to the gift card I had used so I was happy with that.
