A phenominal movie but a slightly flawed DVD presentation.
Based on the Rudyard Kipling story of the same name, The Man Who Would Be King tells the story of two adventurers in the 19th century who venture out of India into Kafiristan to become kings. Directed by John Huston and starring Sean Connery, Michael Caine, and Christopher Plummer, this has long been one of my favorite movies. It's a simple but engaging story told well. The video and audio quality were good. One thing that was strange was that the DVD had to be turned over mid-way through, even though the movie is not especially long. One thing that was disappointing was that one of the more memorable scenes from the end of the film appears to be missing and I can't find anything that explains why that was done. These two issues are relatively minor, but altogether make it worth deducting a star from the rating.

Excellent translation of a grand adventure
I really enjoyed reading Walter James Miller and Frederick Paul Walter's translation of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" published by the Naval Institute Press. On a good day, I maybe speak 20 words of French, so I can't say how accurate the translation is, but I thought Miller and Walter did a fine job of creating readable English prose and their notes helped to put Verne's writing in the context of the day. I especially liked that they included a new translation of Captain Nemo's life story from the end of "The Mysterious Island" in this book. It helped to answer some of the questions that are left hanging at the end of "20,000 Leagues." The novel itself is a grand adventure. We follow Professor Pierre Aronnax, his manservant Conseil, and a French-Canadian harpooner named Ned Land as they hunt for a mysterious creature stalking the oceans. They soon discover the creature is, in fact, the submarine Nautilus under the command of the enigmatic Captain Nemo. As Nemo's prisoners, the three men take a journey of 20,000 Leagues (or about 43,000 miles) around the world. The novel was originally serialized in a French magazine, so it does have a tendency to read a little like a rambling travelogue more than a tight novel, but Verne uses that time to let the tensions brew among his characters until they finally come to the book's climactic scene at the Norway maelstrom. Because it is a Victorian serial novel, I imagine it's not to every modern reader's taste, but I had a lot of fun reading this book. I've tried other translations and bogged down. Miller and Walter's translation was, by far, the most enjoyable I've encountered.

A true Doctor Who classic.
This is one of the true classic Doctor Who episodes. The Doctor lands in World War I England, but soon finds things aren't quite what they appear. He's actually on a planet where several wars are being fought simultaneously. In the end, the Doctor must turn to and confront his own people, the Time Lords. There is some filler here and there, but the great moments in this episode more than make up for that.
