Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

MY FAVORITE MARTIAN is probably not in your list of the top ten sitcoms of the sixties.Upon watching the 37 episodes of this first year,i must say that it comes close in my list.It is not the special effects that makes the show,but the chemistry between BILL BIXBY and RAY WALSTON.Perhaps because i watched too many episodes at once,i prefer the early ones to the last ones.Among the guest stars are BERNIE KOPPELL,MARLO THOMAS,TOM SKERRITT and ALAN HALE.It seems to me that the novelty of the show wears out near the end of season1.Nevertheless,i must say that i liked many episodes like HOW TO BE A HERO WITHOUT REALLY TRYING and MY NEPHEW,THE ARTIST to name only two.Should you buy this set?Yes,but only if you like chocolate brownies...

After reading a claim of time compression by another reviewer,I checked the time of the pilot and it is 22 minutes and 29 seconds and not the 21 minutes that he claims. It has to be remembered that this was the pilot and not a regular episode so comparing times is not valid. Also if it was time-compressed the voices would be one semitone higher as they are on PAL versions of American shows in whuch the shows are sped up by 1/25th of a second. The voices sound exactly the same on the pilot as the other episodes. My verdict on the show,four episodes with clear pictures and good sound. A good job done by Rhino on this production.

"My Favorite Martian" is for Science Fiction what "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" are for Fantasy: a sitcom based in a fantastic scenario. Bill Bixby (later Doctor David Banner in "The Incredible Hulk" TV series) is Tim O'Hara, a journalist in which roof a flying saucer fells. The occupant of the saucer is a Martian with retractile antennae and the capacity to became invisible and levitate objects. Stranded in Earth, the alien is forced to disguise himself as O'Hara's Uncle Martin. For then on, O'Hara and Martin lives in a "Odd Couple" situation. The Martian's unfamiliarity with Earth customs provided much of the comic situations. The high point of "My Favorite Martian" was Ray Walston's characterization of Uncle Martin. The chemistry between Walston and Bixby was a decisive factor... More Info About This DVD Director(s): Alan Rafkin - Byron Paul - James Komack - James V.
