Invasion U.S.A.

Amazon.com

Chuck Norris himself cowrote Invasion U.S.A., a movie that's partly a right-wing paranoid fantasy and partly a prescient vision of contemporary terrorism. A Soviet superagent named Rostov leads an invasion of guerrilla squads who, after landing in Florida, spread throughout the U.S. and start shooting bazookas into suburban homes, inciting race riots by impersonating the police and attacking ethnic events, and planting bombs in churches and on school buses. Soon martial law descends as the country sinks into chaos. Only American superagent Matt Hunter (Norris) can take Rostov on, and eventually the two men face off, Rostov in full-body black leather, Hunter in black gloves and painfully tight blue jeans. For anyone who yearns for the simplicity of the cold war and enjoys a vengeance-laden action flick with lots of guns and exploding cars (but little martial arts), Invasion U.S.A. will provide some cinematic comfort food. --Bret Fetzer

preserving the memories.......2007-07-15

I bought this movie because my daughter was in it. It was filmed in Atlanta Georgia and she was 7 years old at the time. I wanted her to have a copy to keep for the grandchildren if we ever have them.

The sequel is better!.......2007-04-14

Avenging Force

Nothing stops Chuck.......2006-08-08

I would say this is the great Chuck Norris movie, no wait, the greatest movie of all-time except for one thing. And that is that all Chuck Norris movies are created equal and better then the movies like the Godfather, Schlinder's List, Back Door Sluts 9, and Braveheart combined. Chuck Norris is a much better actor then Tom Hanks and Marlon Brando because he knows karate. Hell Chuck Norris invented Karate as well as Judo, Kung Fu, and Hamster style Jap Slapping. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie so you can call yourself a man. And if your a woman buy this movie and pray Chuck Norris comes to your house and gets you pregnant.

This message was approved by Chuck Norris.

super silly and really thin in the plot,but i still like it for some reason.......2006-06-13

this is one of those movies you try not to lrt people know you have, a guilty pleasure that is so shameless an action movie that it never gives you to much time to think how dumb it gets sometimes.
a soviet(remember them and when they were the bad guys?)spy enters the country with a group of terrorists and they go wild blowing up,shooting,and all around mean things to the states! well ex-c.i.a. man hunter(norris) won't let that stand so all by himself he hunts down the bad guys and makes them pay.
some great action and stunts keep this one rolling along at a fast pace and if you let it i think you might like it!

Beyond Words..........2006-02-24

This movie can only be described as a bolt of pure heavenly energy blazing forth from the televesion screens of America to bless our eyes with its majesty. It is something that every man and woman must experience for themselves. I will say this- most religious leaders, including but not limited to Buddha and Jesus, would doubtlessly approve of this deeply moving documentary.

Any fan of Richard Lester's A Hard Day's Night won't want to miss the documentary The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit by Albert and David Maysles. The Maysles brothers were given extraordinary access to the Beatles during their first trip to the U.S., in February 1964, for several concerts and their seminal first appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Like Hard Day's Night, which came out later that year, this film (also known as What's Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A.) shows lots of spontaneous cheekiness with the press and fans; the Beatles' wide-eyed bemusement at the hysteria they caused; as much cutting up as a tiny hotel room allows; and even specific scenes--goofing off on a commuter train, mod dancing in a nightclub--that would later appear in Lester's film. The only thing missing is Paul's grandfather.

The performance segments alone are a must for fans. The three Ed Sullivan appearances show a great cross section of their hits at the time, including "All My Loving," "I Saw Her Standing There," a beautifully delivered "This Boy" by John Lennon, and a wobbly "I Saw Her Standing There" so out of tune George Harrison nearly cracks up as he listens to Lennon and Paul McCartney struggle for harmony. The blurry, badly mic'd footage of the concert at the Washington Coliseum shows the Beatles acting as their own roadies, setting up their instruments; the platform Ringo Starr drums on lurches ominously with each downbeat. It was a more innocent, exuberant time, to be sure, and this sweet documentary lets the Beatles phenomenon speak for itself. --Anne Hurley

Great preformances.......2007-08-31

I was suprised at how good The Beatles sounded live. Their harmonies were amazining. The way they looked and sounded, was pure fun. I do not see any bands or artists today that have the magic they had........

The Beatles First U.S. Visit.......2007-08-12

This could have been a wonderful DVD and it is still very interesting to watch.
HOWEVER, The main thing I wanted was to see them play and the Ed Sullivan Shows were my main reason to buy this.

How annoying it is to see the original Sullivan shows but have a narrator
talking over the performance. I mean the DVD is 90 minutes long and full of useless stuff. Why talk over the Sullivan show.

Now I will have to buy the Sullivan Shows DVD and HOPE it does not have similar talk over issues.
This is the Beatles after all Couldn't you have shut up while they are playing? Make your comments in between songs.

Beatles make history.......2007-08-09

73 million viewers watched these guys perform live on Ed Sullivan, and even the crooks took a break! Who would've guessed??? I think this is one of the best documentaries ever made. You see their arrival at JFK airport, the subsequent media questioning, fans going nuts, and these guys just being themselves. It's a great view of all the hysteria and behind the scenes stuff that at the time no one really got to see except for a select few. The performances are taken from the Ed Sullivan shows of 1964, but the addition of the Washington, D.C. concert is an added bonus, as well as the hotel stay in Miami Beach. I own it and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who likes The Beatles. It's a piece of music history that I strongly recommend viewing. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great DVD. You have to be a true die-hard fan of the Fab Four.
Excellent coverage of them on tour.

You Need this Dvd !.......2007-05-21

This is the original film documentry by the Maysles brothers, of the Beatles' first American visit. When the boys came to our shores in February 1964, the Maysles were commisioned to follow them around with cameras, detailing their every move during the entire brief tour. The result is now on dvd, fully remastered and really fun fun fun to watch.

A visual diary of Beatlemania unfolding for the first time, in America, the cameras follow them from the minute they descend the steps of the aircraft until they ascend again. In keeping with the cinema verite' style, there is no narration, only diologue, and events captured as they unfold. The camera captures the fan hysteria at the airport, in front of the Plaza Hotel, and of course in the Ed Sullivan studio, during the live taping of their historic appearances. It even eavesdrops on Murray the K as he counts down on his WINS radio show, the minutes to their arrival. But of course, 99% of this film is the Beatles themselves, just being themselves. (Or as natural as you can be if you have a camera in your face all the time.) You see them in the car going to the hotel, in the hotel , in Central Park, at the Peppermint Lounge,... everywhere, including their excursion to Miami Beach.

It's fun to note their excitement as they witness their impact on America, and realize that they are the first British act to actually win the hearts of this big, intimidating country. Their excitement is obvious and unrehearsed, especially Paul's. When I first watched this dvd, I hadn't seen The Beatles for a long time, and I was so overjoyed to see and hear them again. I had forgotten how young they were. I was also surprised that Paul comes across as the most natural, and the one who wears his heart on his sleeve (so to speak) more than the others. He can barely contain his excitement, and happiness in this film, and he doesn't bother trying. I was really surprised by how funny he is. In almost every scene, he is doing a funny accent or impersonation of someone, and he's really good. People seem to associate John with this sort of humor, but Paul was just as funny. John on the other hand, plays the cool man, putting a check on his excitement. In the car going to the hotel, John and Ringo look on with affectionate amusement as Paul,barely able to contain himself, practically bounces out of his seat, waving a transister radio around. George and Ringo are seen doing some slapstick on the train going to Washington D.C. but it isn't as funny as the droll one liners that both of them became known for as time went on. And in this particular film, they are not as fun to watch as dear Paul...and ultra cool John. The extras offered with this treasure of a dvd are also worth it. They contain out takes from the original film which include more clowning around,more McCartney craziness, ( in one scene with Murray the K, and later by the Plaza elevator, Paul almost seems,dare I say it,...high.) They had just left the Peppermint Lounge so who knows? Also of interest, are interviews on the street with snobby music students as they pontificate about the Beatles. If you're over a certain age (or you've seen the movie, Animal House), you know the type. Those early 60's folky type girls, with long hair,very well spoken, intellectual, and talking about how they don't normally listen to pop music, only folk and classical. Yeah yeah yeah. Anyway this is a very important addition to the Beatlephile library and I cherish it for it's historical and entertainment value. You will too.

Description

Baghdad fell after just twenty-one days of combat, but the capture of Saddam Hussein took a further eight months and was played out amid a brutal guerrilla war in which the hunters frequently became the hunted. The dictator had simply disappeared and finding him dead or alive was a top priority for US forces. The search for Saddam quickly became a real life crime drama as investigators combined sophisticated software and old-fashioned police work to tighten the noose on Saddam's inner circle. Ace in the Hole is the first-hand story of the US Army investigators who tracked down every lead until their final raid uncovered the Iraqi dictator cowering in his 'spider-hole.
