Eat Drink Man Woman (1994)If you’re willing to read subtitles, Cheap DVD: Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) (DVD 2002) is an excellent foreign film. This movie is set in Taiwan, about the importance of and the tight connection between a person’s individual identity and his/her family life in Chinese society and culture.

The work lives, interpersonal lives, and spiritual lives of four main characters are explored and interwoven, with the Sunday dinner table being the terminus at which they all meet and from which we switch characters and depart on the continuing exploration of each person’s life.

Each of the main character’s lives would be interesting enough for its own full-length movie; so together they keep you thinking and interested from opening to closing credits.

In this masterful cultural portrait of the balanced interplay between life and death, work and love, family and self, food and deprivation, Ang Lee allows us to see and experience the intimate details of a major world culture, which is vastly different from our own in the western world.

The popular theme of traditional Chinese culture being impacted by modern life is addressed in a more realistic, less overdone, manner than in many movies, and the multi-generational presentation of interwoven lives makes it more easily understandable and complete.

Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) (DVD 2002) will leave you with a warm smile of satisfaction and deeper understanding of what it is to be a person on this planet.

Warning: Do not watch Cheap DVD: Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) (DVD 2002) if you are hungry! If you do, within the first 10 minutes, you will pause it, and have to run out for Chinese food instantly and not the quick take out junk either, but the honest to god traditional Chinese cuisine that the father makes.

Ang Lee gives us insight into this family from the perspective of how love and life and humanity can be compared to eating and drinking. The soundtrack is amazing, the scenery is magnificent and the realness of it all transport you in, so that you can almost smell the food cooking. I would have killed to be on that set to just sample all those dishes!

The Silence of the Lambs (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) (1991)Once in a while, a movie goer comes across a film that generates so much excitement that it becomes the conversation topic of most household and office gatherings.

In 1991, this phenomenon took place and  The Silence Of The Lambs. For once, a movie has emerged to challenge the imagination of worldwide cinema audiences. It is scary, thought-provoking and downright gross in an almost non-violent way.

Anthony Hopkins is the main protagnist in the tale. He’s Dr Hannibal Lecter, an evil genius who has a predilection for human flesh. When the movie was screened around the world, Hannibal the cannibal became the catch-phrase.

A lot of people thought it was “cute”.Not me. I thought it was gross. What made this movie so thrilling was the tale of courting a killer to find another killer. Jodie Foster in one of her most engrossing roles played a rookie FBI officer, Clarice Starling, who has been assigned to track down a murderer who skins his victims.

The trail of clues leads to Dr Hannibal Lecter, who himself is a deranged killer of immense intelligence. Thus, the scene was set for one of the most mind-blowing visual sequences that ever caught the imagination of cinema viewers as well as producers of Hollywood.

Projecting an image of vulnerability as well as deceptive maturity, Clarice manages to piece together some of the vital clues that eventually lead her to “Buffalo Bill”, the name of the serial killer.

Director Jonathan Demme all the credit given to him for giving this film the edge-of-your-seat tension that keeps audiences transfixed in their seats.

It is at once brilliant and at the same time excruciating suspenseful. The two characters who gave this Cheap DVD: The Silence Of The Lambs (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition) (1991) the drama of investigation and exciting and unpredictable machinations of the human mind that won it five Oscars were Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.

In the end, it would not be too presumptuous to say that Hopkins almost ran away with the show, with Foster as a close second.

Truly, The Silence Of The Lambs deserves its haul of five Oscars: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture and Best Screenplay.

The success of this film would later spawn two more sequels: Hannibal and Red Dragon, but the latter two would not be able to match the original movie for its shocking climax and the thrill of the chase.

It has been a long 16 years since this movie hit the screens. I have not come across movie that has been able to match its level of excitement.

Cheap DVDs: The Silence Of The Lambs (Two-Disc Collector’s Edition) (1991) must be watched at least twice to be appreciated to its maximum effect. Simply brilliant.

National Treasure (Full Screen Edition) (2004)My family and I sat down the other night and watched one of the best adventures we have seen in some time.

This National Treasure (Full Screen Edition) (2004) is really one of the best action movies of the last few years.

The plot is silly in places but the movie and action move at such a quick pace that you will overlook any silly parts or plot holes.

What really sets this National Treasure (Full Screen Edition) (2004) apart is the free history lesson that you get with the fun.

It doesn’t have too much violence in it so I love watch.

National Treasure is a great family adventure film ! Don’t rent it , Buy this cheap DVD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Adventures of Indiana JonesThe Adventures Of Indiana Jones - The Complete DVD Movie Collection (Full Screen Edition) (1984) is excellent.

All 3 movies of cheap DVDs are good, I love the 1st the best. Harrison Ford is really good in all 3 movies and his fellow cast members put out excellent work. I mean Sean Connery as his Dad in the last movie. I can’t think of a better part of actors for this project.

Very good story line. I really like The Adventures Of Indiana Jones and will enjoy them for years.

High School Musical 2 (Extended Edition) (2007)I really don’t understand the negative reviews for this High School Musical 2 (Extended Edition) as I found it to be really great. As usual, one wonders if they saw the same film. This movie was made to appeal to pre-teen and teen viewers and it’s been a hit with them this summer.

I’m not a teen, but I’ve always loved cheap DVDs on teen movies and I found it terrific. I’ve had lots of kids say positive things to me about this movie and so I know it was well received. I’m just so glad that musicals are popular again as I’ve always liked that genre.

Music has a way of touching people in ways that a regular film just can’t. Yes, this film High School Musical 2 has been marketed, but I have to say that to market successfully you have to have a good product (which this is).

Ok, we all knew that the movie producers would have a really hard time matching the success of the first movie which was a real classic. This High School Musical 2 movie came so close to being even better than the first. I think what did this was the outstanding music, vocal performances of Zac & Vanessa, and choreography.

Also, the “romantic quotient” is quite high and there are plenty of romantic scenes for those of us who like those kind of movies. Zac and Vanessa have a lot of onscreen chemistry & their real love for each other really shines through on film. I can see that there are a few scenes that are going to get ’stuck’ in my dvd player!

My Best Friend's Wedding (Special Edition) (1997)I hold My Best Friend’s Wedding (Special Edition) (1997) close to my heart, why you may ask? Because I was going thru the same thing Julia Roberts was going thru in this movie.

I was in love with someone who did not belong to me. It was a hot affair 10 years ago that ended disastrously, and I ended up the loser at the end. The lesson here is, life goes on.

Julia’s performance was so true and honest, she always steals my heart.

Great movie! Get this Cheap DVD of My Best Friend’s Wedding (Special Edition) (1997).
