Empires Collection - The Dynasties (Egypt's Golden Empire / The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance / Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire / The Roman Empire in the First Century / The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization) Review



Empires Collection: The Dynasties (5 Disc Gift Set) - Empires Collection: The Dynasties is a compilation of five outstanding stories of some of histories greatest dynasties.

Egypt's Golden Empire
In 1570 B.C., when Rome was still a marsh and the Acropolis was an empty rock, Egypt was already 1000 years old. Although the period of the pyramid-builders was long over, Egypt lay on the threshold of its greatest age. The New Kingdom would be an empire forged by conquest, maintained by intimidation and diplomacy, and remembered long after its demise. Led by a dynasty of rich personalities, whose dramatic lives changed the course of civilization, Egypt's Golden Empire presents the most extraordinary period in Egyptian history: from 1570 B.C. to 1070 B.C., when the Egyptian Empire reached its zenith.

The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance
The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance - From a small Italian community in 15th century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power. They would also ignite the most important cultural and artistic revolution in Western history- the European Renaissance. But the forces of change the Medici helped unleash would one day topple their ordered world. An epic drama played out in the courts, cathedrals and palaces of Europe, this series is both the tale of one family's powerful ambition and of Europe's tortured struggle to emerge from the ravages of the Dark Ages.

Japan: Memoirs Of A Secret Empire
Commanding shoguns and samurai warriors, exotic geisha and exquisite artisans -- all were part of the Japanese "renaissance" -- a period between the 16th and 19th centuries when Japan went from chaos and violence to a land of ritual refinement and peace. But stability came at a price: for nearly 250 years, Japan was a land closed to the Western world, ruled by the Shogun under his absolute power and control. Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire brings to life the unknown story of a mysterious empire, its relationship to the West, and the forging of a nation that would emerge as one of the most important countries in the world.

The Roman Empire in the First Century
Two thousand years ago, at the dawn of the first century, the ancient world was ruled by Rome. Through the experiences, memories and writings of the people who lived it, this series tells the story of that time - the emperors and slaves, poets and plebeians, who wrested order from chaos, built the most cosmopolitan society the world had ever seen and shaped the Roman empire in the first century A.D.

The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization
The Greeks - Classical Greece of the 4th and 5th centuries, B.C. was a magnificent civilization that laid the foundations for modern science, politics, warfare, and philosophy, and produced some of the most breathtaking art and architecture the world has ever known. Through the eyes and words of the great heroes of ancient Greece, this dazzling production charts the rise, triumph, and eventual decline of the world's first democracy. Now, through dramatic storytelling and state-of-the-art computer animation, you witness history, art, and government with giants like Pericles, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.

Paul Mooney: Know Your History - Jesus Was Black ... So Was Cleopatra Review



Few comedians can stir up controversy like the legendary Paul Mooney -- writer for Richard Pryor, creator of In Living Color's Homey the Clown and featured guest on Chappelle's Show. With his characteristic brutal honesty, Mooney passionately and hysterically charges into the electrified currents of racial tension. In this magnificent standup performance at Hollywood's Laugh Factory, Mooney earns a standing ovation with his relentless no-holds-barred observations on black history, stereotypes and prejudices, living in White America, celebrity divas and much, much more!

His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear.

Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family.

Declassified: Godfathers of Havana (History Channel)

Declassified: Godfathers of Havana (History Channel) Review



In GODFATHERS OF HAVANA step back in time to when Havana was a favorite escape of the moneyed elite and a cash cow for the Mafia. When Fidel Castro came to power in 1958 the Batista government was not the only thing that was kicked out of Cuba. As a result of the Cuban Revolution the American mobsters who had long dominated Havana's sultry nights lost a seemingly unstoppable money machine. In this evocative program find out how the Mafia's hold on Cuba all started in the '20s during Prohibition and how the glitzy Caribbean capital soon became the crossroads of the Mafia-controlled narcotics superhighway and a haven for gangsters who provided high-profile high-life visitors with anything their hearts desired. Featuring extensive interviews with inside sources and historians this expose offers a one-of-a-kind look at pre-Castro Cuba and the formation of a brutal regime of organized crime on America's doorstep.

Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America

Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America Review



An edgy Stand-Up Comedy DVD from the notorious favorite of Chappelle's Show. Mooney is one of the most dangerous and brilliant comic minds today, and his live stand-up shows are not for those easily offended. Like Richard Pryor at his peak, Grammyr-nominated Paul Mooney speaks his mind, and his no-holds-barred approach to humor has captured a legion of devoted fans across the country. As a writer for Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, Paul Mooney wrote break-through comedy that dug to the center of racism and social issues in America. Paul further extended his comedic skills, writing for Saturday Night Live, Sanford And Son, Good Times, The Richard Pryor Show, In Living Color, and many more! He also starred in such feature films as Spike Lee's Bamboozled as well as Hollywood Shuffle and Bustin' Loose. Uncensored and unbelievably funny, Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America takes on such diverse topics as 9/11, saying the "N" word, chubby white women and skinny black men, and much more with his razor-sharp wit and hilarious, biting observations. Special feature includes an exclusive 2005 interview with Paul Mooney hosted by actor/producer Tim Reid (WKRP in Cincinnati, Frank's Place).
