Amazon Review --
With the 1957 release of Paths of Glory, Stanley Kubrick confirmed
his early promise and joined the ranks of world-class filmmakers. The age of the
auteur had arrived, and Kubrick was a prime candidate for inclusion in
the pantheon of directors later canonized by critic Andrew Sarris in his
influential book The
American Cinema. Ironically, this was also the period during which
Kubrick left his native soil for permanent residence in England, and from that
point forward, the Kubrick mystique inflated to legendary proportions. But if
Kubrick was no longer bringing himself to the world, he was certainly bringing
the world to his films. From the comfort of his rural England estate and
locations never far from London, Kubrick would command cinematic odysseys to
isolated Colorado (in The Shining), battle-ravaged Vietnam (Full Metal
Jacket), upscale New York City (Eyes Wide Shut), and, of course,
Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite (in 2001: A Space Odyssey).
Released on VHS and DVD just prior to the July 1999 theatrical release of
Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut, The Stanley Kubrick Collection
includes all seven of Kubrick's films from Lolita to Full Metal Jacket--a
quarter-century of brilliant, challenging cinema. Authorized by Kubrick prior to
his sudden death in March of 1999, the boxed set represents a cooperative effort
among the Warner, Columbia, and MGM labels (with Killer's Kiss, The
Killing, and Paths of Glory released simultaneously by MGM). All
films retain the superior digital mastering of their earlier releases on
laserdisc and DVD, and although purists have complained that The Shining
and Full Metal Jacket have been released in full-screen format only, this
was in compliance with Kubrick's wishes and both films do not suffer unduly from
full-screen formatting.
The diversity of Kubrick's work is truly astonishing, even though the
director's technical precision and steely perspective on humanity may strike
uninitiated viewers as cold and even misanthropic. From the rich, black comedy
of Lolita to the bleak heart of darkness explored in Full Metal Jacket,
Kubrick's films almost always received mixed (and sometimes scathingly negative)
reviews upon their release, only to benefit from glowing reassessment as they
grew entrenched in the public consciousness. Here, in all their glory, are the
collected films of a genuine master, ripe for study and appreciation for many
years to come. --Jeff Shannon

Average Customer Review: 
- Amazon reviews : This is not your parents' sitcom. Two middle-aged
tarts smoke, swallow, and bed everything in their paranoid paths and are all
the more fun for being so unabashedly vulgar. Jennifer Saunders stars as the
queen of excess; Joanna Lumley is her promiscuous best friend in this
groundbreaking, side-splitting satire. Created by the uninhibited team of
Saunders and Dawn French, the series was written by Saunders. This set
includes all 18 of the 30-minute episodes from the British TV series Anglophiles
and anarchists will love this, but consider yourself forewarned--it is
strictly adult material. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Amazon review: One of Agatha Christie's most
popular characters, the beloved Miss Marple, is brought to life in these
classic BBC and A&E Home Video mysteries. Included in the box set
are 4:50 from Paddington, Sleeping Murder, The Mirror
Cracked from Side to Side, and A Caribbean Mystery. The
delightful Joan Hickson is always entertaining as the prim and proper Miss
Marple, complete with her elderly woman charm and perpetually clicking
knitting needles.
In 4:50 from Paddington, Miss Marple's good friend Elspeth
McGillicuddy witnesses a man strangle a woman on a passing train, and it's
up to Miss Marple to uncover the mystery. In Sleeping Murder, the
Reeds move into their dream house, where Mrs. Reed is plagued by the vision
of a body in the hall. In turn they call upon Miss Marple to help them
uncover this strange phenomenon. When the American movie star Marina Gregg
in The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side is almost murdered while
filming her new picture, she's fortunate to have the help of Miss Marple to
sniff out the evil culprit. A Caribbean Mystery has Miss Marple,
who's in need of rest and relaxation, deciding to holiday in the West
Indies. Her holiday soon turns into a working vacation when it's time for
her to gather the usual suspects. This box set is a
must-have for the video libraries of all whodunit enthusiasts and Miss
Marple admirers. --Samantha Allen Storey
