Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 8: The Altar of Stone (The Viridian Collection)

Great Show
The show surpassed my expections upon viewing. It is more interesting, at least to me, than most anime. Great, intricate story line.

Basilisk: Fate's Finest Hour v.6 - Viridian Collection

A Fitting Conclusion to a great series
Like most good series, I was sad to see this series end. It had a great deal of integrity, with each character being highly individualized. Unlike most series that have large amounts of violance, the usage of less notable characters as battle fodder is greatly reduced, with each death being final and complete, making you almost wish the series would bring the characters back, you love or hate them that much. But thankfully the series doesn't, which allows it to keep up the atmosphere that you never know who goes next. The series' end is tragic and heartfelt, making you feel that it is both sad but necessary. A truly great series, I would recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in Anime or Ninja.

An awesome series
Basilisk takes place in 1614 during the Tokugawa Shogunate era. Two ninja clans are at war with each other competing to win the favor of the regime for the next 1000 years. Each clan has to choose 10 members. Whichever clan kills the 10 members of their rival wins.

There are a lot of awesome things to say about this anime. The animation, the music, and the story line are all great. Almost all , of the characters are too. There are a few ninjas I didn't like though. One guy kills you with his hair, one guy is a quadriplegic that kills you with a knife that he holds with his tongue, and one dude turns into goo when he touches salt. Most of the other ninjas are awesome though. The bad guy is really a heartless bastard. It makes it very interesting when you have a bad guy that is way evil. The characters really keep you interested and the carnage never lets up.

I really think anyone that likes anime would get a kick outta this one. If you like it there's a live...

The End
Great endind to a great story. Go back and get them all. If your into ninja's,swordfighting, and cool special powers for the characters, this is your cup of tea.

Best of Meerkat Manor - Season 1

Buyer Beware
The 4 disc version that Amazon offers is a DVD-R set, and it comes in one case. For those not familiar, DVD-R's are the recordable DVD's that are sold in stores, with odd colors on the bottom side. Though it is guaranteed to play, realize that this also effects the potential resale value. Other major website retailers do not deal with this version, and second hand stores may not take it on trade. The 3 DVD set that comes in a 3-case box is the official version that one would expect, and is commonly sold throughout the market.

Nature Meets High Drama
Meerkat Manor is a Discovery Channel Animal Planet series shown successfully worldwide. It is a series in the style of a soap opera about a clan of meerkats named "The Whiskers" that is the subject of a ten-year study by Cambridge University. The show is narrated by Bill Nighy in the UK, Mike Goldman in Australia, and Sean Astin in the USA. There are a total of 13 episodes in this first season.

The following Meerkats are the major players in season one: Flower is the leader and dominant female of the Whiskers group, and reserves the right to mate for herself. Because she is the leader, she wears a radio collar that enables scientists and film crews to track the group. Zaphod is her partner, the dominant male, and group defender. Youssarian was dominant male of the Whiskers until Zaphod, his older brother, overtook his position. Mozart is one of Flower's daughters that was evicted from the Whiskers by her mother for bearing offspring. Tosca is another of Flower's daughters...

Survivor Drama on the Kalahari
[Spoiler Alert!]

Forget "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race." "Meerkat Manor" is the best reality/survivor show ever made. If you missed the beginning, here come the first 13 episodes of the Whiskers family in a two-disc set. These fierce little critters have been called the Sopranos of the Kalahari. But they're not. They're better. What's more, these episodes can be watched by the entire family.

Matriarch Flower is the boss, protecting her family from invading meerkat tribes, such as the Lazuli, making sure the home (burrow) is fit and that all are well fed. Flower, whose recent demise left fans grieving, will be the subject of a 2008 theatrical release, "Queen of the Meerkats." It can't come too soon.

The Animal Planet hit is the result of a 10 year study by Cambridge University. Students mix into the footage from time to time, taking notes. During these moments, you realize just how small meerkats are. Adults are about a foot long, pups only a few...

Animal Planet: Growing Up Arctic - Season 1

Humans who care
THE ANIMAL PLANET has some great series along with "Meercat Manor," "Big Cat Diary," "The Most Extreme," "E-Vet Interns," "Animal Precinct" and "Corwin's Quest." It continues to be one of the few channels families can watch together to be entertained and informed.

Some of these series have made their way to DVD. Now it looks as though the "Growing Up" episodes are being gathered into species or area specific compilations. "Growing Up Arctic" provides stories on orphaned young ones who live in the very cold: penguins, polar bears, seals and walrus. Rescued by caring humans, these stories are guaranteed to hit your "aw" response, no matter how old you are.

The little polar bear is found after his mother is shot by hunters. We first see him as a tiny ball of white fluff hiding in a corner, still calling for mom. The story follows him through zoo nurturing until he becomes a young adult. Will he be released into the wild or will he find a good home at another zoo...

Television's most inspiring shows
I have always been an animal lover, and through Animal Planet's "Growing Up" series, I have been so thoroughly inspired, that I am now on a path to leave my hum-drum job and work directly with animals. This well-priced DVD includes 4 different shows. The show with Nereus, the walrus, is such a wonderful story, that it is not difficult to become emotional as a viewer. The Growing Up series also has another wonderful DVD collection called Growing Up Wildcats. This DVD includes Lions, Tigers, a Black Leopard, and Cheetahs (my absolute favourite!!!). If you have children who are interested in animals - or even if you are an adult who admires God's creatures, this is a very educational set of DVD's that everyone should own. There are many other Animal Planet "Growing Up" episodes that are only available for viewing on their cable channel - PLEASE take the time to view them all. Hopefully, Animal Planet will release the other wonderful Growing Up episodes on DVD soon!

Growing Up, Cutie
Anyone who has ever loved a pet, or "ooo-ed" and "ahh-ed" at a cute puppy or kitten, will fall in love with the "Growing Up..." series from animal planet. Watching Nereus the orphaned Walrus cuddle up with his caretaker is reason enough to pay the $10-15 required to enjoy this video.

Also, including the "bonus" episode, "Growing Up Penguin," the running time is more like 168 minutes, instead of 126. This makes your investment even more worthwhile!

Very Nice
It shows that women and men can be friends with out being in a relationship even when your older.

MiamiFilms.net is the place for real movies


A "Must-Not-See" film
Clifton Powell is too good an actor for this trashy excuse for a film. Don't waste your time unless thats all you're trying to do. I'd suggest you read a book instead. I'm sure your imagination could do a better job than the folkes who put this mess together did.
