5.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to that other guy...., May 4, 2007

By	D. Ellis (L.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Alright yes the price for this set is pretty ridiculous, however that has nothing to do with the actual quality of the DVD's. I personally haven't watched the entire thing, only bits and pieces at school. But of those bits and pieces they were very informative, and often times shocking.

I've watched a clip on the Tamil Tigers, Chemical warfare during WWI and WWII, the Irgun, and a few others. It only makes me anxious to see more of whats in store. IF anyone can find it at a lower price than here on Amazon i'd love to know.

So honestly if you are as willing to learn about things as I am, you'll probably find your eyes glued to the entire showing of this DVD set.

1.0 out of 5 stars I liked armageddon, February 3, 2004

By	billy (Jonny Taylor sucks) - See all my reviews

This movie was good but was worth about three fifty. And I got conned for paying 65 dollars for this nickle and dime film. But good film if you can get it for under 5 dollars (which would include shipping and handling of course). So that means somebody would have to be selling the film for about two dollars. Great movie netherthelessy.
