ANCIENT MYSTERIES: UFOS ... THE FIRST ENCOUNTERS (reviewed by Adam
Arseneau, overall score 40/100):
"Aggravatingly, this documentary reveals no stunning revelations, and
never quotes any scientific research or does anything remotely factual
to prove this hypothesis. It just alludes and suggests, and plays
dramatic music over long-lingering shots of the pyramids, with
interviewers saying brilliant things like, 'But they're so big! Look
at them! How could they be built by men? Through massive organized
slave labor efforts? Yeah, right, like that makes any sense. It must
be aliens!'"

GUNS AND TALKS (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall score 75/100):
"There is a good 95 or 100 minute flick just waiting to shuck off the
extraneous 25 or 30 minutes that unfortunately weigh down this movie."

HELLER IN PINK TIGHTS (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall score
70/100):
"With the opening shot of grand vistas, I had high hopes for
Heller in Pink Tights, but this movie is as empty as the wild
country it's set in."

I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW (reviewed by Russell Engebretson, overall
score 65/100):
"I have an intense fondness for horror movies -- including low-budget
independent ones -- be they subtle, ghostly chillers or visceral, in-your-
face thrillers. I really tried to like I'll Bury You Tomorrow, but it is
deficient in too many areas."

KING'S RANSOM (reviewed by Ian Visser, overall score 20/100):
"If your movie has more breasts in it then a chicken farm, you are not
making Citizen Kane, Jeff."

MONSTER GARAGE: SEASON 2 (reviewed by Ian Visser, overall score 60/100):
"At one point, a mechanic proclaims, 'I don't read books, I do things
that other people write books about.' Sir, with all due respect, you fix
cars for a living. Let's try and keep a little perspective, OK?"

A NIGHT IN HAVANA: DIZZY GILLESPIE IN CUBA (reviewed by Ian Visser,
overall score 75/100):
"Dizzy Gillespie was one of the few jazz musicians to be known to the
general public. With his famous 'puffy' cheeks, a zest for living, and a
crossover hit in 'A Night in Tunisia,' Gillespie enjoyed an amazing
career that spanned several decades. Filmed in 1985, just five years
before his death, A Night in Havana -- Dizzy Gillespie in Cuba traces
Gillespie's visit to Cuba, home of the sound that captivated the artist
for most of his life."

10 MINUTE SOLUTION YOGA (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score
80/100):
"Fun as a supplement, but 10 Minute Solution Yoga should never be your
primary fitness plan. But it is fun, easy, and well presented."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/10minutesolutionyoga.php
WISHING STAIRS (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall score 70/100):
"It turns out the third time isn't the charm for the Ghost School
Trilogy. In fact, Wishing Stairs is a muddled mess. While the other two
films in the series dealt with serious issues in Korean schools, such as
abusive teachers and taboo relationships, the third entry's petty
competition between friends just doesn't have the same punch."
