The History Channel Presents The Civil War
DVD
This was a gift for my husband who really likes these kinds of movies, so I'm sure it'll be great. He can't wait to find time to watch them.
History Channel's The Civil War
DVD Set has sent well before the expected delivery date. Excellent DVD set. Engrossing and loved watching it!
Outstanding Documentaries, So-So Presentation
An outstanding collection of the best episodes of History Channel's "Civil War Combat" and "Civil War Journal," the latter hosted and narrated by actor Danny Glover.
My only real qualms (and the reason I give this set 4 stars out of 5) is because A&E/History Channel basically recycled these previously released episodes and simply boxed them up together. That's fine and all as it's more convenient to have all of them together, BUT...if you're going to do that, why not put these episodes into anamorphic widescreen and/or remaster the video images as well? Some of these episodes look like they were transfered to DVD straight from a VHS source.
But this should not take away from the fact that these are extremely well-made histories - informative, educational and obviously produced by and with the assistance of those with a distinct passion for the Civil War.
Definitely worth your time and attention!
Before, I learned how to ski I really had no reason to look forward to the winter months. However, since I have learned to ski and subsequently to snowboard I can't wait to see the snow fall. I love my Skiing Holidays! I normally don't like to stay at home, but instead to head over to France where the moutains are taller. At any rate, between those long winter months and now I will find the best reviews on all sorts of great stuff, some is skiing related, like ski poles, goggles, scarfs, jackets and so but other times its just reviews about anything. I hope you have enjoyed yourself at our chalet!
