One Word - WORST EVER SCANNER for Slides.Wasted a looooooong weekend over this scanner, trying to scan some contrast and some dark slides. No amount of 'Gamma correction' or 'Brightness and Hue/Saturation Correction' could even get it anywhere near right.Since the built-in software with the scanner was pretty limited, I thought I could try some 3rd party software . But the scanner does not support either of them.Realllyyyyyyy SLOWWWWWWBR>

Not bad for a 'history of elvis' type program. Not much at all in the way of any performing. It moves slow and tends to lose you in the first 15 minutes or so. If you want to learn about how elvis got to be "Elvis" then this would be a good disc. If you are looking for simply his shows & songs, this is the wrong DVD.

I am a fan. I have most of his albums. I love each and every one. Still, most seem to have variations on the same assortment of songs most associated with Engelbert Humperdinck. This one is a pleasant change because most of these selections are seldom found on his other albums. I will be the first to admit that this is because these selections are "not as great" as his signature pieces but they are still good works and worthy of a hearing.The tone of the selections, as with virtually all of his works, is that of love songs. For those infected with this tortuous illness, that is enough to generate and interest. Those not tortured by love can also enjoy his incredible tonal range, his voice and his skills.This is another keeper.

I mistakenly purchased this DVD thinking it was the 1979 version by Frances Ford Coppola. I was very disappointed in this series of shorts of The Black Stallion produced for the Family Channel. This may good for children but for someone who was looking for the mystical and beautiful film that moved me in my childhood, it was an extremely poor imitation. What really irks me is the fact that nowhere does the product information explain that it is not the film of the same name done so well in 1979. I shoulda looked closer and I will next time. Just because its name is The Black Stallion based on the book by Walter Farley, starring Mickey Rooney does not make it the classic from 1979 produced by Frances Ford Coppola.

I originally bought this DVD thinking that this was the movie starting with Alec Ramsay being saved by the Black. As I watched it I realized that it was a TV show and a poorly done one as well. The script is poorly written at best and it's almost a shame that Mickey Rooney accepted a contract. There are a total of about 4 episodes plus a bonus that seemed to be a bonus only because I couldn't determine where it fell in the timeline. Having read all of Walter Farley's books, I couldn't even tell which books the show was based off of. The Black was played by a Friesan Stallion, not even an Arabian, and was referred to as a Thoroughbred. Having been involved with horses almost all of my life, this was probably the most disturbing. The cinemetography was poor and I probably will not ever watch it again.

Poor story line and just plain bad acting. The only one with any sense in the movie is the horse and he wasn't on camera most of the time.
