Movie Reviews of The Laurel & Hardy Collection
Movie Review: one question..
Summary: 5 Stars
how many times can they re-re-re-re-re-re(whew)re-release "flying deuces" and "utopia"?! don't get me wrong they are great movies but you can find it just about anywhere why won't these companies focus more on rare out of print stuff like "way out west" or "swiss miss",oh well I give this set 5 stars because it's a nice release and has "this is your life" which is worth getting by itself,"march of the wooden soldiers" is in glorius black and white and the sound of both "flying deuces" and "utopia" are great (although I can't say the same for the picture)I had these movies before and each version I got on d.v.d. you had to turn the volume up all the way to hear it,this set has a louder sound and you can hear the background stuff better which is cool the picture for both are scratchy,the last disc is the best because of the L&H trailers.I hope they do a vol2 box set with more (out of copywrite) releases like footage from the "u.k. tours" and "movie struck" and home video footage ,interviews ect if your going to get cheap d.v.d releases at least make it interesting (like the goodtime video releases)there are alot of stuff that has lost it's copywrite which could end up in the second volume!!NO MORE "FLYING DEUCES" AND "UTOPIA" PLEASE!!!Movie Review: hardly laurel and hardy

Strongly-written review, obviously by a man who knows his stuff. I wouldn't buy this set with Iraqi paper money.Movie Review: No Commentary
Summary: 2 Stars
When I add a DVD to my humble collection, I expect to learn something historical about the making of the film. If you want to see a great commentary which all DVD makers should emulate, it is ''Love is a Many- Splendered Thing' with William Holden & Jennifer Jones.When I turned on my player expecting to learn a bit more about my two heros and discovered no running commentary and the voices out of sync, I was very disappointed.
Much aloha,
Bill
Movie Review: Not their best
Summary: 1 Stars
Laurel and Hardy at their best are great. At their worst they're terrible. These movies are as bad as it gets. Judging their comedy by these flicks is unfair to them, so don't be fooled. Don't buy these. Hold out their best stuff, the 2-reelers from the early 30's, not their full-length movies. The only feature-length films worthy of their best are "Sons of the Desert," (arguably the funniest movie ever made) and, possibly, "Way out West." Unfortunately, the best 2-reelers are still not available on DVD, and difficult to find even on VHS. All of their avilable silent movies have been released, and are worth the money. Does anyone know why it's taking so long for those great talkie 2-reelers (1929-1933) to be released on DVD?Movie Review: Great,but could've been better!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Listen,I'm a BIG Laurel and Hardy fan and when I first saw that there was going to be box set of the best comedy team ever,I was excited,but I just found out that there are no shorts!! There's no Berth Marks,Hoose-gow,Chickens Come Home,Music Box,County Hospital,Scram!;none of those classic shorts...I mean,the first 3 discs are already out on DVD..Utopia isn't the best of the 3,but there are funny moments in it..The other 2 are alot better."Lucky Dog" is already available on the slient shorts collection that Hal Roach Studios came out a few years ago...Why couldn't this collection be like the Buster Keaton box set that Kino on Video put out not too long ago?? Laurel and Hardy fans deserve better than this!!!
