The X-Files – The Complete Seasons 1-8 Customer Review: First 8 Seasons??
Wow. I have loved the x-files since it first premired. i watched it as a little kid, and i still live it. X-Files is arguably the best cult classic television series of all time, with the characters of Mulder and Scully still influencing today’s programing. When i found out that the first eight seasons were on sale together for such a cheap price, i was overwhelmed. Now i just need some way to get the 200-some odd dollars to buy them, which is not much when you see each season as eighty dollars most places. Definately worth the buy if you can afford it.

The 400 Blows [Blu-ray] The knowing yet innocent face of Jean-Pierre Leaud, the 14-year-old star of The 400 Blows, is the heartbreaking core of Francois Truffaut’s most intimate film. As Antoine Doinel, Leaud begins his career as director Truffaut’s alter-ego, a young boy neglected by his mother and stepfather who, to cover his absence at school, tells a lie that leads him to run away from home and end up in reform school. There’s nothing remarkable or surprising about the plot; the power of this film comes from how completely it draws you into Antoine’s life. Antoine is a vivid, natural presence, one of the most compelling collaborations between a writer/director and an actor. The movie seems to capture him as he lives. Antoine endures his parent’s indifference, humiliations at school, deprivation and juvenile delinquency–yet the movie never feels pitying or condescending, as if it were trying to rub your nose in Antoine’s suffering. On the contrary: His resilience is what grabs you, his refusal to be broken down as he struggles towards a more adult understanding of the world. Truffaut and Leaud made many excellent films together (Day for Night, Two English Girls), including further chapters in Antoine’s life (Bed and Board, Stolen Kisses), but none were quite as simple, rich, and devastatingly potent as The 400 Blows. (The title, incidentally, refers not to abuse or anything sexual, but is a French idiom for a wild and unruly youth or “raising hell.”) –Bret Fetzer
Customer Review: A film that will literally blow you away…
In all my movie watching and movie reviewing I tend to praise a lot of work. As you glance over my past reviews (if you so chose to ever do so) you will see a lot of `five-star’ or `Grade A’ reviews, yet in all honesty there are rarely times when I am so enamored by a film I am moved to claim it a masterpiece. Sure, I may say that a film is a genre masterpiece (I think I made that claim when speaking of `The Dark Knight’) but for a film to transcend genre and become a clear and present masterpiece of film it has to have that extra something that is rarely found in films; that extra connective tissue that links its importance, its soul to our soul and thus becomes a part of us.

The X-Files – The Complete Seasons 1-9 Customer Review: I hope at this price Mulder and Scully are included
I am a huge fan of this series, even though the last couple seasons “jumped the shark”. I loved the first feature film “Fight the Future” (1998). I have yet to see the most recent film “I Want to Believe” (2008) but I really want to, despite the negative reviews it received.
