An interesting selection of movies. Half black and white and half in color. I'm guessing that the majority of people that are interested in a family movie collection would want to watch these movies with their kids and that the black and white movies would be a downer to those kids.

Two low budget horror movies on one DVD. In Ruby (1977), the spirit of Ruby Claire's (Piper Laurie, who played Carrie's mom in Carrie) gangster husband returns for revenge at her drive-in movie theater. In Kiss of the Tarantula (1976), teenager Susan (Suzanna Ling in her only role) sends out her tarantulas to kill her enemies. Both of the movies were a thrilling good time for what they were.

I loved this movie and still do. The VHS was watched many times when I was a kid.

I really wanted to like this movie because of how popular and groundbreaking this is supposed to be. I do like older anime and this one is from 1988, but I found it to be confusing and for the most part boring for the almost half of the movie that I watched. I read more details about the movie after I popped the DVD out of my laptop and it looks like the main details doesn't even kick in until more than an hour into the two hour movie. I do feel kind of like an uncultured anime fan for not liking this movie.

This movie was good, although I got bored in parts. This is not the type of movie that I normally watch, but I liked it and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a very cheesy low budget horror comedy. I actually enjoyed it. The opening that says this is based on a true story (lol) has the world possible misspelled.

In this anime series, a class of middle school students are tasked with assassinating an octopus creature that can destroy the world - who just so happens to be their teacher. That teacher is Koro Sensei and not only is he a super strong assassination target, but he is an incredible teacher who cares about his students. Koro Sensei does have a tragic background, but I won't ruin it and his background isn't revealed until season two. You didn't think he just popped out of nothingness, did you?

I enjoyed this Blu-Ray release of Astro Boy. I went into it not knowing what to expect and I came out liking it a lot. How Astro Boy came into being is actually creepy for a movie aimed towards kids.

This is a remake of the anime Astro Boy. Like Dragonball: Evolution, which is also based on an anime, this didn't do well in the Japanese box office. Unlike Dragonball: Evolution, this film did well with the source material. I think that I see why this did bad in the Japanese box office though. They probably thought that Americans were messing with their creativity.

A highly enjoyable horror comedy. The ending was strange and kind of touching.

This is a decent horror film from Japan. I usually don't turn my head away from horror movies, but I had to turn my head away during the scene with the brain transfer. I guess that is saying something. It is a bit strange, but that doesn't make it a bad movie.

This is a funny take on the 1989 Batman movie. If people can get pass the creepy animated faces on the animated thumbs, they will likely enjoy it.

This is an overall good movie, but I think that too many characters and too much story is crammed into this 70 minute movie.

If you don't like over the top action anime, ancient Japanese history, and a not so gritty Batman, you won't like this movie. I am luckily interested in all three things. The sword fight between Joker and Batman was epic and the animation is excellent.

I bought this for Anaconda, She Creature, and Dragon Wars. I have already seen Anaconda and Dragon Wars and I enjoy them. She Creature was a first time view for me and it didn't seem like it was made for television. It is good quality on both discs.

The Blu-ray contains two episodes about Japan with one about Tokyo and the other one covering Kyoto. The Kyoto one didn't interest me nearly as much as the Tokyo episode which seemed like it featured more interesting things in regards to culture, food, and lifestyle.

A completely fictionalized movie about Bruce Lee and Wong Jack Man. I know that the movie isn't accurate and that the main character seems to be the fictional Steve McKee, but I don't care. I watched it for a Kung Fu based plot and it does deliver on that point.

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. The movie was just OK and I wanted it to be a great movie. I didn't care that much for the action and the last 45 or so minutes. It felt like the movie was dragging when it reached that point.

A great vampire flick with tons of action. The movie's only downfall is its bad CGI when it comes to the demons and blood.

I just received the Blu-ray set today, but I did watch this bizarre anime when it was on Cartoon Network's Toonami block. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, who is a master of "Fist of the Nose Hair" and using toon force, team up with other weird characters to defeat Baldy Bald the 4th and his Hair Hunt Troops. The plot somewhat makes sense, but that is the point of the series.

I wasn't sure if I would like this low budget horror movie based on the reviews and ratings, but I enjoyed it. The two main strong parts are how the movie opened and its ending. In typical horror movie fashion, every single protagonist is incredibly stupid. The undead scarecrow guy also needs to do a better job of double checking his work.

This is a great uplifting movie that shows that you can do great things no matter how old you are. The characters were wonderful and the plot had me smiling at many parts.

I enjoyed this movie. It was confusing in the beginning, but everything ended up being explained perfectly.

There are only two Christmas episodes, but those two episodes along with the nostalgia of the other three episodes make it worth it. Billy & Mandy Save Christmas is phenomenally insanely awesome with a vampire Santa Claus that is voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. The Kids Next Door episode is a Christmas spoof of the X-Men. The other episodes are from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, and Camp Lazlo. The DVD is currently expensive and buying it will set a person back over $100, but I rented it using Netflix's DVD plan recently.

The movie has glorious animation and some likeable characters, but quite a bit of it is confusing which includes the ending. A common point of reviews that I have read say basically the same thing.

The power of a lie turns the lives of two women upside down when a child lies about the two teachers being lesbians. The film has great performances all around and the black and white is done in a way that makes it have a stunning picture. This 1961 film is based on a play which was banned many times during its run.
