Interesting, but Still Obvious Profit Tool
MGM video sampler is basically a marketing tool and it such it works.
The clips of 40-60 movies and TV series are interesting and fun to watch, but watching any of the clips in entirety would be preferable. Mr. McDowell is a joy and does an admirably job of preventing video after video. Yet, the presentation wears thin. At 50+ minutes of basically "extended previes" one is left wondering "when is the movie going to start?". Also, the presentation is dated, the movies are all advertised to sell (or Buy affordable priced) at $19.95 or so. VHS at $19.95 has gone the way of the do-do bird and so will this relic of the VHS era.
In all- its good for what it is: "extended previes and Mr. McDowell", but it is well past its prime and now only really lives as an out-dated marketing tool relic oddity.
Rating: 5
