Awesome Movie.......2007-07-03

www.dogster.com held a photo/essay contest for their members last summer. We had to submit a photo and an essay on how our dog is our hero. Well, my Service Dog, Shadow, was one of the winners to have his picture in the end credits of the theater release and the DVD. I found the movie to be entertaining and did show how a family has to stick together no matter how tough things that come into the picture. Shadow's picture is toward the end credits of the picture... So, if you see a dog sitting w/ red flowers in the background you'll get to see my hero, Shadow.

Great Family Film.......2007-06-26

My family saw this movie two times and really enjoyed it - all of us (ages: 44, 40, 15, 13, 11 and 7). There are some very funny moments and the film has a great message about family. I highly recommend the film for your DVD collection - it is one that will be watched over and over.

Reviewer from Sweden - 5 star film! .......2007-06-22

I'm a 25 year old boy and I'm a Josh Hutcher fan, and this film is one of the best. First of all - I really enjoy when animals, like this dog, has the leading part! Everyone who like those kind of movies (like Air Bud) like this film too. Its a very fun film for anyone, age 7-100! Thanks for reading my review & Greetings from Sweden :-)

Not hot (but not bad, either).......2007-06-13

Firehouse Dog is one of those movies that sat on the shelf for quite awhile, then came and went pretty quickly in theaters, greeted by mixed reviews.

On DVD, it's watchable granted you aren't expecting a whole lot. It's a trifle to be sure, but the dog is cute and while there is not much in the way of a "boy and his dog" story, the movie is cute and moves a long at a decent (if clunky) pace.

In paying simple tribute to firefighters, Ladder 49 gets to the heart of those who risk their lives for a living. Director Jay Russell brought similar sincerity to his memorable family favorite My Dog Skip, and despite the banalities of an ultra-conventional screenplay by Lewis Colick, Ladder 49 generates so much goodwill toward its Baltimore firemen that you may find yourself unexpectedly overcome with emotional appreciation for guys like Jack (Joaquin Phoenix), a firefighter whose career, courtship, marriage, and fatherhood are viewed in flashback as he struggles to survive in the present-day framing scenes, cut off from his fellow firemen in the fiery guts of a collapsing 20-floor building. There are no surprises in the familiar scenes of male bonding, dangerous rescues, injury and death, and the supportive concern of Jack's wife (Jacinda Barrett), but by focusing on the simple integrity of Jack's personal and professional commitment, the movie gives Phoenix a showcase for unselfish virtue, while John Travolta provides dignified support as Jack's mentor and devoted firehouse captain. Ladder 49 is routine in most respects, but it's a much-deserved valentine to working-class heroes. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Academy Award(R) nominated stars Joaquin Phoenix (Best Supporting Actor, GLADIATOR, 2000) and John Travolta (Best Actor, PULP FICTION, 1994) ignite the intense action in this heroic tale of ordinary men with uncommon courage! As part of a tightly knit brotherhood of skilled firefighters, Jack Morrison (Phoenix) grows from inexperienced rookie to seasoned veteran as he faces a dangerous job that makes him a hero to strangers but often shortchanges his wife (Jacinda Barrett -- THE HUMAN STAIN) and kids. Then, when he becomes trapped in the worst blaze of his career, the things Jack holds most important -- family, duty, courage -- come sharply into focus.

LADDER 49 IS A REALISTIC LOOK INTO THE LIVES OF FIIREFIGHTERS. I'M A FIREFIGHTER AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS MOVIE IS NO JOKE. FROM THE MINUTE WE GET IN OUR TRUCK OUR LIVES AND ARE IN DANGER. JUST GET THE MOVIE.

A Must See for Everyone..........2007-04-01

Full of drama, Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta compliment each other's acting talents in this heartwrenching story about guts, glory, teamwork, and love.

Heavy Burden on the Viewer's Emotions.......2007-01-12

This film captivates you by playing on your emotional response to the story. There are a lot of good characters and interesting sequences switching from the present and then to flashbacks leading the story up to the point of the central catastrophic fire where Joaquin Phoenix is trapped and cutoff from the other fire fighters. His Captain portrayed by John Travolta tries futilely to rescue him keeping in touch over a wireless. Ultimately it is a very depressing film. I don't see the point of it all. This movie has its moments but it is too hard to take.

Great attempt at realism.......2007-01-11

This movie is so refreshing in its portrayal of firefighters. Its amazing that Hollywood would even attempt to make it as real as possible. The charactors are realistic and believable. Great movie.

Love, Sacrifice, Virtue.......2006-11-14

I was reluctuant to watch this movie because of many of the reviews I read here on Amazon. While generally praised, that praise is here often tempered with comments like "predictible story line"; "uninspired plot", etc.. Only somebody suffering from postmodern malaise could be indifferent to this movie. The hero is humble, the action varied and intense, the story line relecting the aspirations of millions of Americans. I think what must blanch for those suffering from postmodernity is the hero is not a homosexual, and that he has a happy married life with two kids and dog. THAT is what THEY consider to be "quaint" or "predictable". If you are a humble, God-fearing, decent human being you will probably love this movie. If you prefer a less "predictable" life like searching gay bars for sex with men, or alleys for sex with stray animals, than you probably won't like this movie.

GREAT job at making children MORE aware and LESS afraid..........2007-01-09

Not sure why another reviewer only gave this 1 star! Both my 2-year old and 3-year old love this DVD. It's a great way to teach little Elmo Lovers about fire safety and to help them become LESS fearful. Yes, it does show Elmo afraid because a fire in Hooper's store (all they show is smoke coming from the back room due to a small grease fire). He's three years old, of course he's scared! BUT, that's the whole point of the DVD. After the fire, Elmo is invited to and visits the fire station where he talks to and learns about fire fighters, gets a tour of the fire station and learns what to do in case of a fire, and by the end of the DVD he's not scared anymore. It shows that fires don't need to be a scary thing as long as you know what to do. Has catchy songs that teach fire safety, and Elmo does a great job in showing other children that they don't need to be afraid if they know what to do. I think it does a GREAT job at teaching little ones fire safety!

Elmo Visits Firehouse.......2007-01-04

My daughter who is a huge Elmo fan enjoyed this DVD. She was very sympathetic when Elmo was afraid, but now points out every fire truck, tells me why the firefighters wear their boots, hat and jacket, and can stop, duck and go.

Great video.......2006-02-25

My kids age 2 and 5 love this video. They both want to practice fire safety now and are much less scared. It is a good platform to jumpstart a very important topic.

Great Cartoons.......2006-03-31

Alot of us don't have the Treasures set. I've seen everyone of these shorts, and they're a great collection! If you don't have the treasures set, this DVD is worth its money!

DECENT SHORTS BUT NOT NEW.......2005-05-20

As the other reviewer mentioned many of these shorts are on the various Disney Treasures collections so if you own those then you'll want to avoid this eight short feature collection. The eight shorts on this hour-long DVD are all music themed and while they don't represent the best Disney shorts they are fairly decent.

"Mickey's Grand Opera" is from 1936

"Music Land" is a Silly Symphony from 1935 that doesn't feature any Disney Characters.

"Orphan's Benefit" is from 1941 and has Mickey, Donald, and others putting on a show for orphan kids.

"Farmyard Symphony" from 1938 is another Silly Symphony without benefit of Mickey or any of the other stable of characters. It's a symphony set to the sounds of the barnyard animals...

"Pluto's Blue Note" is from 1947 and probably the best short on this DVD. Pluto finds he can use his tail as a phonograph.

"How to Dance" In the 1950's, Disney made a series of "how to" shorts featuring goofy demonstrating various activities. They were all pretty good. This one from 1953 has Goofy showing off various dance syles.

"woodland Cafe" One more Silly Symphony from 1937.

"Donald's Dilemma" 1947 - After getting hit in the head with a flower pot, Donald thinks he's a famous crooner and no longer recognizes Daisy...until she clocks him with another pot.

The fact that three of the shorts are Silly Symphonies without Disney characters is going to really limit the appeal of this DVD to kids in my mind and since some of the other shorts can be found in the Treasures collections it won't have much appeal to Disney collectors either so I'm not so sure about this one.

Treasure fans Beware!.......2005-05-19

Many of these shorts on this DVD (as well as the other DVD's in this series) have been on the treasures allready so i recomend passing on these DVD's besides all the dirt and the bad restoration you'll see on the cartoons!

Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script, but Bill Murray gets all the best lines and moments in this 1984 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Meatballs). The three comics, plus Ernie Hudson, play the New York City-based team that provides supernatural pest control, and Sigourney Weaver is the love interest possessed by an ancient demon. Reitman and company are full of original ideas about hobgoblins--who knew they could "slime" people with green plasma goo?--but hovering above the plot is Murray's patented ironic view of all the action. Still a lot of fun, and an obvious model for sci-fi comedies such as Men in Black. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

A Classic '80's Comedy..........2007-05-24

They don't make them like this anymore. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson bring "Ghostbusters" to paranormal comedic heights. The movie starts with an ominous tone, but travels straight into comedy with one of the best comedy scenes ever with Bill Murray testing two university students for "the effects of negative reenforcement on ESP ability". The comedy (and the supernatural suprises) grow from there.

It's a fine example of comedy with a heart, with a soul. The kinds of comedy I wish was still around in movies today.

Better than Gremlins.......2007-04-19

I first saw this when I was about 7 to ten year of age and I have loved it since. They also have three epsiodes from the tv series for sale on line uou can get the these episodes all together at once for about 21 to 40 dollars with the shiping fee include maybe less if you get them used version of them and don't get them in like mint condition or better cause they charge more the better condition it's in. I bought this together with the sequel ghostbuster II yesterday at blockbuster for $18 with the tax included. Unfortunately I didn't realize until today that blockbuster ripped me of they charge me about 50% more than what amazon was charging. To be more precise amazon was only charging 8 to 12 dollars for the two of them together if you got them in decent conditon block buster charged me about 18$ dollars because they were in new condition and were not preused. This movie was a classic and had phonimal special effects for its time back in the 1980s when computer special effects were still somewhat primative compared to what they are in the newer movies like the Terbitha remake. You should watch this if you really like these actor especially Rick Moransis who unfoprtunately recently dieded unfortuantely do to and overdose to some kind of drug or something like that. A word of warning though this movie has some mild violence and scary images in it and some what heavy amount cursing compared to the amount that usually is modern pg rated movies. As a result of the following this movie might not be appropriate or maybe questionable to kids under the age of 12 depending on whhat the parents or guardianns thiks is appropriate for there age. If you like this I also recommend Gremlins I and II and the Criters quadriology if you are 13 years of age or older.

the perfect comedy hit.......2007-03-13

I find the movie highly entertaining, but what really knocks my socks off is how the script has many lines that incorporate the metaphysics of modern life better than any reality-based attempt to describe what life is like. The slim chance of success that "crossing the streams" produces, facing a gigantic "Stay Puft" marshmellow man, a building in New York City that is spook central, the "Get him out of here" line applied to a fruitbasket from the EPA, and the frightful technology of capturing ghosts after the first attempt in the New York City Public Library was so scary and the main character got slimed in the second attempt in a New York City hotel, the messes that everything created: all of it is still so apt.

Should have been Best Movie in 1984!.......2007-01-05

Great film. It got ripped off by not winning the oscar for best film of 1984. It was the best film that year.

A Gem. A Truly Special Movie........2006-12-08

1984's "Ghostbusters" is not only one of the greatest comedies, but one of the best movies ever made. Armed with an amazing cast of comedic talents, a solid storyline, and great special effects, "Ghostbusters" is a truly magical movie.

Three scientists, Pete Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), who specialize in paranormal activity, get fired from their jobs at a renowned New York college. Desparate for some dough, they start their own business, Ghostbusters. At firs, business runs a little slow, until a New York apartment dweller named Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) discovers her refrigerator is a portal to a spiritual dimension ruled by the evil demon Zule. With news of this, their business takes off, as does a relationship with Dr. Venkman and Dana. However, when a sleazy social inspector named Walter Peck challenges the legal matters of their business, the Ghostbusters soon find their business out of operation, and it couldn't be at a worse time, as both Dana and her bumbling neighbor Louis Tully (the always wonderful Rick Moranis) have been possessed by these demons, who are now planning to destroy New York. It is up to the Ghostbusters to stop these dastardly demons before it's too late.

This is is an unforgettable movie. The performances, especially Murray's are wonderful. Never has any actor (with the exception of Weaver in the first two "Alien" movies) been better. The story and the special effects are dazzling, and this is definitely a film that belongs in your dvd collection.

ASIN: B00005JM0O
Release Date: 2003-09-09

The premise of The Guys is simple: A fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia), who lost eight firemen in the fall of the World Trade Center, asks a journalist (Sigourney Weaver) to help him compose eulogies for these men. It's only a week after the attack; their bodies haven't yet been found, but the families are holding services. The writer cajoles the sometimes inarticulate and plain-spoken captain into talking about the men--who range from the captain's best friend to a newcomer he'd only know a few weeks--until she's gleaned enough to piece together a tribute. Originally a play by Anne Nelson, the movie captures much of the texture of New York through montages woven into the storyline; but the piece lives or dies by the performances, and both Weaver and LaPaglia give subdued and unfancy but carefully wrought performances that make the most of this potent material. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews:

The Guys.......2007-04-10

Great movie! As a New Yorker, this movie really hit home. It isn't nearly as sad as I thought it might be. It actually has many cute scenes and celebrates the lives of the firemen that perished on 9/11, not concentrating on their deaths. I highly recommend this movie. Anthony LaPaglia was fantastic!

male grief.......2005-08-28

This film offers a realistic view of the grief of a man who loses his comrades, men for whom he was responsible. It offers a realistic picture of a relationship that develops as he tells the story of his comrades. A very good movie for a male discussion group.

Emotionally Healing.......2005-06-17

Anne Nelson's play wonderfully captured on film runs the gamut of emotions. Sigourney Weaver as a journalist helping out a fire captain (Anthony LaPaglia) write eulogies for eight different men from his ladder is poignant, funny and eventually heartbreakingly real. The initially awkwardness of the two meeting is overcome by personal anecdotes and touching stories each share to bring about the final product which is to give each fallen hero his accurate due. Weaver and LaPaglia are perfect in their portrayals as two people trying to help each other in a horrific and emotionally draining period which commands them to bring out the best of each man's life. It is essentially a love story. The pain each character feels when discussing each man individually is a rarity in films and this one gets it right. This film acts as a healer for all affected by 9/11.

Fitting Tribute.......2005-01-01

This is a very touching and moving film and a fitting tribute to the many heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 9/11 attack on America. The acting is as it should be, conveying bits and pieces of so many lost lives for the viewer to reflect upon.

This should by no means be considered entertainment, but rather a sincere tribute and thank you to those who gave their lives!

The Guys.......2004-12-29

This movie is meticulous, captivating, and a real tear jerker.
Watch Anthony Lapaglia's eyes. You can feel the emotional depth of being lost and helpless; confused (not being able to really comprehend the why behind the act), and the immenseness of the loss resulting from the event. Sigourney Weaver is quietly compassionate, maneuvering through the confusion of feelings to find the personalities of the missing comrades. It's beautifully done and Sigourney Weaver and Anthony Lapaglia were perfect choices for the roles.

No need for silly hostess/narorator.......2004-07-20

I bought this for my 3 year old son. He was not intersted in all the talking by "Laurie Dash". Too many jokes that aren't funny or related to the hero and not enough action to keep a young child interested. The "There goes a...firefighter/hero/police officer...series is much better. There is a host but also lots of action to keep a young childs attention.

the best thing to come out of 9-11.......2002-10-03

I bought this for my kids and we all learned what cops go through even without aq disaster...Lauree dash makes it so fun and exciting that we watch it over and over and over...we know all the lines...more fun than anything
