Even though Transformers--Generation 2 was released after Transformers Volume 1, it shouldnt be confused with Transformers--Volume 2. Got that? Good, because Transformers--Generation 2 is a collection that is best left to the completists and die-hard collectors. Theres no denying that the five episodes here ("More Than Meets the Eye Parts One Three", "SOS Dinobots" and "Heavy Metal War") are all classics. Its just unfortunate that the versions on offer are from the later Generation 2 series. See, after the Transformers franchise had all but sunk into obscurity, the toys were relaunched and given a new shot at life as Generation 2. And just as the old toys were given new paint jobs, the old episodes were updated and enhanced by the best technology a relatively low-budget production could buy. What this translates into is lots of annoying computer graphics (called the "Cybernet Space Cube") popping up at random intervals to denote a new scene, or even just a change in camera angle or character perspective. The results would test the limits of even the shortest attention spans. So while Transformers--Generation 2 does collect some of the finest episodes of the Transformers cartoon, telling the origin of the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons and how they came to earth, as well as introducing the popular Dinobots and Constructicons, its ultimately a frustrating experience. Fortunately, there are better Transformers DVDs out there. --Robert Burrow
With civil war continuing to rage the peace-loving Autobots leave their home planet of Cybertron to search for new energy resources.

Millions of years later the Decepticons and the Autobots are re-activated and the ultimate battle between good and evil continues on planet Earth... This release includes all 16 episodes from Series 1: More Than Meets The Eye 1 - 3 Transport To Oblivion Roll For It Divide And Conquer Fire In The Sky SOS Dinobots Fire On The Mountain War Of The Dinobots The Ultimate Doom 1 - 3 Countdown To Extinction A Plague Of Insecticons Heavy Metal War
Prepare to be transported back in time to a planet where humans and dinosaurs join forces to rid civilization of all evil. The virtuous Valorians speed through space to escape the Rulons a sinister civilization that has destroyed their planet and seeking universal domination.
Back in the 1980s, there were few phenomena bigger than the Transformers. A hugely popular toy line, it also spawned a long-running comic book, a hit feature film and successful animated television series. Transformers--Original Series, Volume One collects five episodes of the hit television series: the epic, three-part "The Ultimate Doom", plus two episodes that have never before been available in the UK ("Fire on the Mountain" and "War of the Dinobots"). Epic in scope, the story of the Transformers was a timeless, if unsophisticated, tale of good versus evil: the heroic Autobots battled to prevent the evil Decepticons from realising their goal of universal conquest. The resulting civil war raged for millions of years, draining the energy resources from their home planet Cybertron and leading the two robotic races to earth. Here, they continue their war, using their unique ability to alter their bodies to take on the form of earthly vehicles, weapons and creatures. In the morass of bad 80s' cartoons, the Transformers shone like a beacon on Saturday mornings--excellent animation (for many in the US and UK, it was their first introduction to Japanese manga, albeit basic) and characters with real personalities and depth (for most children of the 80s, Autobot leader Optimus Prime was a very real hero). For the ever-growing legions of Transformers fans out there, as well as any 80s' nostalgia buffs, Transformers--Original Series, Volume One is required viewing.--Robert Burrow

The Transformers series (Tatakae Cho Robot Seimetai Transformers, or Fight Super Living Robots Transformers) was written in America, but animated in Japan. Based on a line of robots from Takara that was licensed to Hasbro, Transformers sparked a craze for metamorphic toys in the mid-80s. Each robot-character could be reconfigured to form a car, a tank, a plane, and so on. The 24 episodes in this collection, which ran between 1985 and 1986, conclude the second season and lead up to Transformers 2006. Each episode forms a self-contained story, with little in the way of larger character arcs or plot developments tying them together. Although the cast has expanded, the Autobots remain the good guys who defeat the bad guy Decepticons, and no-one expects anything else. Although the character designs and animation are Japanese, the direction is pure American saturday morning: instead of creating effective transitions, the filmmakers just cut to a shot of the logo--a standard practice in Hanna-Barbera kidvid. Websites, role-playing games, fan fiction, and a brisk commerce in the original toys have kept Transformers alive in the hearts of their fans. But like Robotech, Transformers will appeal most strongly to nostalgic adults who watched the show as kids. --Charles Solomon
The Decepticons steal the key to the plasma chamber but when they try to open the chamber the energy released blasts them and several Autobots to the distant planet of Nebulos where another civil war rages. The Autobots decide they need an extra edge to defeat the Decepticons and they link with Daniel and four good Nebulons to become Headmasters. Unfortunately the Decepticons use the same idea and also combine their weapons with evil Nebulons to create Targetmasters. The Autobots and Decepticons clash in their most earth shattering battle to date with their fates and the future of Earth and Cybertron hanging in the balance!
Created by Antonio Gades in collaboration with Carlos Saura, this matchless production shows how the explosive power and intensity of feeling in traditional Spanish flamenco can bring vividly to life the sultry passion, earthy emotion, love and rivalry that is Carmen. Filmed in High Definition at the Teatro Real, Madrid for the 75th anniversary celebration of Gades birth, the Compaa Antonio Gades performs Carmen to perfection. Antonio Gades is one of the most influential figures in Spanish flamenco. He played a decisive role in getting the genre recognized by the contemporary art world. Gades started performing his choreography for Georges Bizet's Carmen in the 1960s, taking it all the way to the Teatro alla Scala, Milan. This was one of his most successful ballets. It was also brought to the big screen by Carlos Saura in 1983, a film that received an Oscar nomination and won the Jury's Award at the Cannes Festival.

Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding) depicts the story of a bride who, on her wedding night, runs away with her former lover, now a married man with a child of his own. The furious groom follows them, and a fight to the death ensues between the two men. Choreographed by Antonio Gades in 1974, this ballet is the essence of the work of Federico Garca Lorca, a poet and playwright whose vision here melded with that of ancient Spain. Suite flamenca consists of seven pieces of traditional flamenco dance, solos, duets and group dances, presented with Gadess own unique insight on the aesthetics of flamenco dance. Gadess interpretation initially described as avant-garde is now considered as classic. With flawless solo performances by Stella Arauzo and Miguel Lara, and artists from the Compaa Antonio Gades, this is a performance to enjoy.
Antonio Gades last choreographed work, Fuenteovejuna, is a signature piece of purity and precision of Spanish dance. Based on a true event Fuenteovejuna is about the people of a village in Crdoba ruled by a tyrannical commander whose actions of droit de seigneur, violence and abuse engender their intense hatred. One day the villagers choose freedom and they take the law into their own hands. When the villagers are interrogated by a magistrate sent to establish who was responsible, each and every inhabitant only says I. In other words, Fuenteovejuna did it. First performed in 1994 in Genoa, Fuenteovejuna is considered as the ultimate work of Spanish dance, a signature piece of purity and precision.
