Looking over the above list... I never seen the Neverending Stories movies before either. Is that one that I want to watch the first part before watching part 2? If so I will have to pick it up before watching this one. Yes, I think you should watch Part 1 before 2. Part 1 will introduce you to the characters. Two different child-actors play the part of Bastian. I actually prefer Barret Oliver as Bastian in Part 1 over Jonathan Brandis in Part 2. You can pick up "The NeverEnding Story" at Amazon for $6.49 or Both films in a 2 movie set on one disc for $5.99. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | Agree w/8ballMax. Part 1 is also far better than part 2. (Part 3 is where the story starts to feel like it's never going to end.  ) |

I completely forgot about Part III...due to repressed memory I think. It was sooooooooo bad that I don't even consider it part of the "franchise". Yet another actor playing the role of Bastian, Jason James Richter, and they even got Jack Black to star in it...must not of read the script before agreeing to do it  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

All I can tell you is that, like the original, it is not anamorphic...which is why I never bothered with it.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I also found out that she is trying to finish up the package today to hopefully get it in the mail tomorrow. I've never seen Righteous Kill but the reviews weren't very positive if i recall. Scarface, in my opinion, while it is a good film, is highly overrated. It could have used some more editing to tone done ti's overlong running time. According to most rappers it's the best movie ever made (source: MTV Cribs) but that's only because they don't seem to understand the movie. I won't spoil it but i can't recount how often i had a discussion with some people about this movie who either must have switched it of somewhere halfway or completely misunderstood the ending, Paul |

It is a Korean horror movie. Anyone here familiar with this one? This is a great film! Very creepy and atmospheric. I bought twice, once on DVD later bought it again on BD. You need to stay sharp while watching it though, or you may miss something and than it could become a bit confusing! Paul |
