Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

queengrace777 This series was just like what you would expect from Mr.Spielberg. It is truly one of those frighting, funny, childish shows that you won't forget. Just like Outer Limits (another great show) this little series does what not a lot can. It was great, and deserved to run longer. It was a great show, that even kids could watch, though some of the shows were a little scary when they wanted to be, but all of them always had a moral at the end (like the Twilight Zone) that made you realize what situation you didn't want to end up in, or ones that you did. I remember watching some of these on Sci-fi when I was 10, and even now, I still enjoy seeing them when I can. Truly a fun, imaginative show. I loved it, and still do.

gcd70 Not only inspired by, but a veritable sequel of, "Twilight Zone - the Movie", is this trilogy of fantasy-adventure tales called "Amazing Stories". This video was released as a selection of episodes from the television series.Steven Spielberg again joins the team (you may remember his "Sunnyvale Rest Home" segment from "Twilight Zone") with an entry called "The Mission". An American flight crew take their lucky charm, the belly gunner, with them on his 24th mission, even though that number is believed to be bad luck. This is quite an emotional and stirring narrative that unfortunately ends with a rather implausible, though fantastic, whimper. Kevin Costner, Casey Siemaszko and Kiefer Sutherland are all very good, as is the support (may have inspired "Memphis Belle")."Mummy Daddy" is a humorous tongue-in-cheek comedy about an actor who gets a call that his wife has begun labour and so takes off in full mummy costume to go to the hospital. When he gets lost in the swamps where they were filming, and the real mummy, "Ra Amin Kha", is set loose, director William Dear provides enjoyable laughs.Finally Robert Zemeckis presents what is the weakest of the three shows, "Go to the Head of the Class", a macabre but fairly impotent tale about two young students who cast a spell on the English teacher they despise, only to be horrified when they discover they've killed him. Their subsequent effort at resurrecting him has bizarre results. Stan Winston's f/x and Christopher Lloyd's performance are both fun.Overall a reasonable 110 minutes entertainment, but hardly classic fantasy.Tuesday, July 12, 1994 - Video

DKosty123 As my 175th review, I chose this as I was given the Season 1 set for Christmas & have been looking at this series for the first time. I remember the ads for it years ago, but never watched it because the NBC people moved the series around so much that I could never find out when it was on.In the season 1 shows, the first 6 episodes were really solid. Then the next 6 tailed off. The third 6 got better again. I have not watched the last 6 yet. The DVD's do feature some deleted scenes though so far the deleted scenes i have looked at have not been anything major.What this series did have was names & not just Spielberg's - consider Clint Eastwood directing an episode with Sondra Locke in it. Mark Hammil does an episode,Kevin Costner, Sid Ceasar, Milton Berle, & others.The episodes range from cute - Aliens touring Hollywood to World War 2 Missions to depression era stuff to the Alamo. The good thing is Spielberg did not try to get corny & do a Rod Sterling type of introduction to each one. This gave him a little more time to develop plots than Sterling format. Actually the aliens, the Alamo & the VooDoo sitter are pretty good. The bad news is that some of the plots are quite predictable. Given the overall quality of the DVD I have seen though, the DVDs are the way to watch these. I think too many commercials are put in on the Science Fiction channel & these shows make no sense when they are shortened at all. In fact, I would not be surprised that even when they ran on NBC they were shortened too which is why the series failed.Even with predictable plots, The DVD sticks a lot into each episode so shortening these hurts them.

Thor2000 I'm a big fan of the "Twilight Zone," but I never thought its returns on CBS and on the UPN were worthy of its memory. "Amazing Stories," however, picked up the torch with its more family-oriented stories of which even a few were meant for a laugh. Episodes like "Gather Ye Acorns" might suggest bad life decisions, but others like "Miscalculations" where a guy brings his poster girls to life are just fun with a bit of terror. That one in particular is my favorite as he uses too much and gets a giant and then uses too little and gets a living skeleton. This is one series with a big fan base that deserves to be returned to prime time.
