2.0 out of 5 stars I'm not sure who this is marketed for/to....I am not a happy owner., February 16, 2010

This review is from: Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Bros. (DVD)

First things first, I greatly admire Clint Eastwood as an actor and director ,and he's been the major film star of my baby boomer lifetime.

I just picked this set up so I am reviewing as an OWNER , not someone who has read the contents and wants to prattle on about Clints career at Warners. I was sad to find that the discs are the notorious Flippers (a movie on each side) instead of the far more stable single sided discs. Given that many of these movies are already available for under 10 bucks each This is still a cheap way to buy all of his movies for anyone that is that big a fan but who doesn't already own them.. I'm a bit confused as to who they are marketing to? I am a big fan and own many of these but thought it might be a great way to house films in a smaller package and looked forward to the documentary and the book etc..

Extras.... the documentary is only a 21 minute "teaser" for the real one due this summer and NOT 16x9 but letterboxed 4:3 wow..that's lame. They DO give you a web address and a code to get the whole documentary mailed out in the summer of 2010...but when you go to it, it says that address either doesn't yet exist or has other troubles and come back later. Who knows what that is about...have so many people bought this and tried to redeem that their server crashed...not likely, probably just more corporate stupidity and "I thought you had set that up" finger pointing.

Book...is really a big nothing..tease for the real book in stores, and the pouch with a few photos ,again nothing special.

The Films...As I said, being that these are unstable "flipper discs" I am hesitant to get rid of the DVDs of the films I have and unlike some other multi disc sets I've recently purchased these will be scratched in removing and replacing for play...in fact you can NOT remove them without putting your hands on the surfaces of the discs (never recommended).

Bottom line, This isn't really something for a true fan who would be better off it seems only buying the Clint films one wants in either DVD or Blu-Ray. There is NOTHING here for true fans but for somebody who owns virtually none of his movies and suddenly wants to spend over a hundred bucks (that seems a mutually exclusive notion) its a good value.

Were this released on Blu-Ray....I would be very happy and they would need not deal with flippers due to the storage capacity of Blu-Ray....but we see no such release in the near future.

To summarize...I'd stay away if you are a big fan, own the movies of CLints you already like and think this is some sort of "Cadillac" version..its more of a Pinto.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, March 7, 2010

By

This review is from: Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Bros. (DVD)

That describes this box set perfectly (and for what it's worth, that title is not included in this set).

The Good...

I want to point out first of all that this is not a review of any of the films in this collection. What more can
be said about these movies that has not been said many times already? While some may not regard all of the movies included this box in the same esteem and some personal favorites may have been excluded, I think that most people would consider this to be a fine collection of Clint's work at a reasonable price.

The Bad...

The problem is with the packaging of this box set. It is a case where a great idea in concept has gone horribly wrong in the execution. It appears that the designers were more interested in the artistic design (and it does look very nice) with no regard for the functionality of the package.

As other reviewers have noted, the collection is packaged in the form of a book, with pages that are constructed from very stiff paperboard. The pockets that hold the individual DVDs are formed between two sheets of paparboard that have been adhered together. However, the pockets are so tight, it is difficult to remove the discs without grasping them firmly between your thumb and index finger and pulling with some force, resulting in scratches and fingerprints on the disc surfaces. Yet, for me this is not the major issue, since most discs with superficial scratches, while undesirable, will still play with little degradation in picture quality.

The Ugly...

The biggest problem is that the surfaces of about a third of the discs in my set were contaminated with streaks and lumps from the glue that was used to assemble the package, rendering parts of the discs unplayable. I am appalled by the apparent total disregard for quality control. Didn't anyone at the manufacturing facility bother to check out the final product before they began shipping?

It is a shame that an otherwise fine collection has been marred by such shoddy packaging. If I had been aware of this issue, I would not have purchaased this set. I do not recommend that anyone buy this set until it has been reissued in a better package.

This review is from: Clint Eastwood: 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Bros. (DVD)

As a fan of the older Clint Eastwood, I bought this collection to explore some of his earlier works. This collection is packed into a large book so big it will not fit on a shelf so that it was impossible not to place the films in a container. The films are unlabelled so you have to use a large guide to figure out which film it is, I am not reviewing any of the films because the presentation of this major contributor to cinema because to hard to figure out. Shame on the studio for releasing this bargain release.. I would much prefer paying twice as much for well presented 35 disk set NOT Recommended
