Hey guys!

This is an amazing boxset! Another award winning season for the Who gang. Best episodes being the "Family of Blood" two parter and the chilling "Blink" episode.

I'm going to get it. But not from Amazon.ca! I'm going to Amazon.com. They have it for only $64.99 American....which if you do your conversion, makes it around $62.99 Canadian (current dollar at 1.06 ) Now my question is why Amazon.ca had this movie available for pre order at $88.99 Canadian and now suddenly we find it at the price it is at now!! Somebody's trying to rip us Canadians off! :)

his is an epic, episodic tale of the lives of a small group of New York City Jewish gangsters spanning over 40 years. The movie centers on David 'Noodles' Aaronson (Robert De Niro) and his lifelong partners in crime, Max (James Woods), Cockeye (William Forsythe) and Patsy (James Hayden) and their friends, who all grew up in New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s-1930s. In the late 1960s, an elderly Noodles returns to New York after many years in hiding to look into the past.

Told mostly in flashbacks and flash-forwards, this film is a classic that has us discover great actors, including Jennifer Connelly and Brian Bloom. It features a great cast, like Danny Aiello and Joe Pesci.

One of the masterpieces in film history worth watching. ... Read More:

To all those out there complaining of this re-release, I'm am glad. I have the original pre-special editions.

I never purchased the special editions and never got to see them in the theatres when they came out in 1997 (had a new-born and that took up all my time).

So, when I eventually went out to purchase these movies (just before Episode I came out), I was disappointed to find that they were no longer in stock and that they stopped all production of them.

So, this re-release has allowed me to purchase what I never got to see before and own them.

I have ENJOYED the added/touched-up scenes. Case in point - the Cloud City scenes. It seems SO much more open and spacious now, compared to the crampt feeling you envision ... Read More:

You know, I saw this many years ago and thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Now, all these years later, I was quite eager to take it in again. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold up for me. I was actually shocked at how bad it was. I kept trying to see it through eyes of those decades ago, before we had comedy types like Robin Williams, Chris Rock, etc. but I just couldn't get past the absurdity of it. Yes, I get all the styles and references, a la "Yellow Submarine," and such with the paste-ups and pastiche humor, but I didn't find myself laughing. I'm sure this stuff paved the way for what we have today but I didn't laugh once when reviewing it again, and I think---correct me if I'm wrong---but that's the whole point.

Fabulously underrated story.

Order these from amazon.com - they're $10 cheaper and no tax. For some reason amazon.ca seems to continue to ignore the value of the Canadian Dollar.

of the 3 prequels,this one is the best.Anakin is now a young man,very
close to the dark side.helping him to get there is supreme chancellor
Palpatine(Ian Mcdiarmid)a dark lord of the sith.Mcdiarmid clearly
relishes his role as he brings an intensity and believability that must
be seen to be believed.this is an Oscar worthy performance.the movie
does a fairly good job of tying things up,as the saga concludes.there
are,a few problems with the time line,of course,but despite that,the
movie works.what everybody was waiting for was the reveal of Anakin
into Darth Varder:so was it worth the wait?for the most part yes. the
last scene treads close to being funny,but stops just short.as for the
movie itself,the best of the prequels,and ... Read More:
