Review The Movies Begin - A Treasury of Early Cinema, 1894-1913 / Kino International:The home-video revolution has yielded a wealth of valuable compilations, but few are as miraculously definitive as The Movies Begin. Equally suited to home or classroom viewing, this authoritative five-volume set is a vital document of film history, providing a one-stop destination for anyone wishing to witness the first two decades of motion pictures. That period-from 1894 to 1913-saw movies develop at a breakneck pace, from the earliest "actualities" of the Lumière brothers in France to D. W. Griffith's audacious development of dramatic action in the Biograph shorts of the early 1910s. Sensibly organized into pivotal stages of technical and creative progress, each of these volumes represents the priceless value of film preservation; all 133 films in the set are presented in the finest condition available, from archival prints to complete restorations, and accompanied by music that perfectly captures the spirit of each film and the time of their creation. Under the expert guidance of film historian David Shepard, this collection is uniquely comprehensive, with fact, fiction, and fantasy represented in equal measure. All major figures are included; it's fitting that one volume is devoted to astonishing shorts by movie magician Georges Méliès, while other volumes serve as "greatest hits" compilations of movie innovations by Edwin S. Porter, Cecil Hepworth, Max Linder, Alice Guy Blanche, and many others. The breathtaking growth of movies is fully apparent by volume 5 ("Comedy, Spectacle, and New Horizons"); most viewers will find this the most entertaining, but each volume is a revelation, offering films that haven't been widely seen since they were first produced. [+]To understand and appreciate the foundation upon which modern filmmaking is built, The Movies Begin is truly essential. -Jeff Shannon.

Review Indian in the Cupboard: Gift Set (includes 5 figurines) / Sony Pictures:Young Hal Scardino stars as a sensitive boy who discovers a way to bring plastic toys to life in a locked cupboard. One of those toys, a 19th-century Iroquois warrior (played by actor Litefoot), was actually a real warrior now only several inches tall. A bond eventually develops between boy and warrior, and a six-shooting toy cowboy (David Keith). As with E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which was written by E. T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child. But director Frank Oz (In & Out) has made the film far too stiff and dramatically flat to get across the enchantment necessary to make the fantasy work. Watching this is like listening to someone who can't tell a good story to save his life, yet who is trying to captivate your attention and heart. [+]-Tom Keogh.

Review David Icke: From Prison to Paradise / UFO TV:David Icke is at the top of his form in this live multimedia presentation. You will laugh, you may even cry, and you will be on the edge of your seat as the fantastic story of true human history and who really controls the world today unfolds with Icke’s unique personality and style. This is the presentation the Illuminati, the forces of global control, tried so hard to stop. Just prior to the taping of this program, previously scheduled press interviews were canceled and government officials questioned Icke’s right to free speech. But nothing could silence him or break his spirit and here you will see the result. David Icke shows that if you do not concede to fear – anything is possible.
