DVD Review: Very good, but not for kids
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this for my kids (9 and 4) and it was really too dark for them. A good version, though.

DVD Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

Items received in the time I was told and are in excellent condition. Would buy from this seller again!

DVD Review: Movie great - Disc terrible
Summary: 3 Stars

I love this movie, but cannot understand why it has to be broken into two segments. You have to turn the disc over to watch the second half. I understand the need to do this in the early days of DVD - but now with dual layer discs, this is no longer needed. This disc is marketd as remastered, but is basically the same as the original release.

Description of Oliver!

This musical adaptation of dickens classic tale follows the adventures of oliver twist a young orphan who takes to the streets of 19th-century london in order to seek his fortune. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/22/2008 Starring: Ron Moody Harry Secombe Run time: 146 minutes Rating: G Director: Carol Reed

Film buffs and critics can argue until their faces turn blue about whether this lavish Dickensian musical deserved the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1968, but the movie speaks for itself on grandly entertaining terms. Adapted from Dickens's classic novel, it's one of the most dramatically involving and artistically impressive musicals of the 1960s, directed by Carol Reed with a delightful enthusiasm that would surely have impressed Dickens himself. Mark Lester plays the waifish orphan Oliver Twist, who is befriended by the pickpocketing Artful Dodger (Jack Wild) and recruited into the gang of boy thieves led by Fagin (played to perfection by Ron Moody). The villainous Bill Sikes (Oliver Reed) casts his long shadow over Oliver and his friends, but the young orphan is still able to find loving care in the most desperate of circumstances. Full of memorable melodies and splendid lyrics, Oliver! is a timeless film, prompting even hard-to-please critic Pauline Kael to call it "a superb demonstration of intelligent craftsmanship," and to further observe that "it's as if the movie set out to be a tribute to Dickens and his melodramatic art as well as to tell the story of Oliver Twist." --Jeff Shannon
