Lions Gate, 2003

Well isn't that spe-cial!
Along with Mike Myers, Dana Carvey helped to create some of the most memorable characters on SNL during the 90's (Wayne and Garth, Hanz & Franz, Church Lady, etc.) This video shows some of the best moments from his wonderful career on that show, which (unfortunately) ...

A Few Good Men (Special Edition)

Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson

Sony Pictures, 2001

DVD Movie Review
Always a great story that would interest all ages--except for some salty language. Interesting to see the internal workings of the military minds.

Little Shop of Horrors

Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene

Warner Home Video, 2000

Absolutely adorable....
I loved this film. It's so low budget and cheap, yet it's immensely watchable, hilarious, and kind of sweet in a dark, sinister way. I think it's Corman's best film (along side his Poe films, which are quite outstanding in their own way), and it's the film that was ...

This Is Spinal Tap [Blu-ray]

Rob Reiner, Michael McKean

MGM Entertainment, 2009

Jolly Good!
I remember catching this film on MTV many years ago; I caught it about midway through, watched the rest of it (while laughing me bum off), then made a mental note to myself ("I've got to get this movie!"). Well, some twentysomething years later, I now have the Special ...

Saturday Night Live - The Best of Eddie Murphy (Bonus Edition)

Eddie Murphy, Clint Smith

Lions Gate, 2004

Eddie At His Best !
This is Eddie Murphy before all of the family friendly movies which have seemed to define his career as of late. This is an edgy & extremeley funny Murphy. Here are some highlights: There is the Eddie as Jessie Jackson, clamoring for Jewish votes in a very not so ...

Saturday Night Live: The Best of Chris Farley

Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel

Lions Gate, 2003

Hysterical!
When you need some humor and a good belly laugh in your day, watch this DVD. What a hysterical comic and a great loss to all of us. He left us with a legacy of laughter though in this sometimes "doom and gloom" world of ours. Laughter IS the best medicine. A must ...

The Princess Bride (20th Anniversary Edition)

Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

True Love and High Adventure in the Land of Florin
Screenwriter and novelist William Goldman's book, The Princess Bride, was first published in 1972. For years Goldman, who wrote the screenplay for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, attempted to have a film adaptation made, but every time an unforeseeable obstacle ...

The Joy Luck Club

Diane Baker, Michael Paul Chan

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2002

One of my all-time Top 10
One of the greatest films ever made - it's got humor, pain, stupidity, and wisdom.

Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project

Don Rickles, Steve Lawrence

Salient Media, 2008

Warmth is what I felt...
I am 56...and have been a Don Rickles fan since I was a teen... I have seen him on stage 3 times...and hope to again soon... You cannot miss with this man...and this is quite a tribute... Saw it on cable... Bought it and watched over coffee and after ...

Mrs. Henderson Presents (Widescreen Edition)

Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins

Weinstein Company, 2006

If you like Judi Dench...
If you like Judi Dench and anything she's done, you will like Mrs. Henderson. Altho she seems a bit starchy at the beginning of the film,you'll find yourself ready the lead cheers for her by the end.

Saturday Night Live - Halloween

Saturday Night Live's HALLOWEEN!!!

Metallica: Year and A Half Parts 1 & 2

Jason Newsted, Bob Rock

Elektra/Asylum, 1999

metallica:year and half parts 1 & 2
I love this dvd because it shows you what it is like to be a heavy metal rock star from the recording an album to being on the road (the good and bad )and meeting and dealing with other band members bad behavior eg Axl rose. You come out of watching the dvd feeling ...

Saturday Night Live - The Best of Molly Shannon

Christopher Guest, Robert Smigel

Lions Gate, 2003

Don't get me started.. don't even get me started....
In my opinion, SNL was at its tops when Molly Shannon was part of the cast. The way she portrays her hilarious characters keeps you laughing throughout the whole DVD. They put together a great compilation of her greatest skits, however, I was bummed when the DVD was ...

The Long Riders

David Carradine, Keith Carradine

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great, realistic atmospheric Western
"The Long Riders" is one of the best Westerns ever made. It concerns one specific facet of the West treated now in only three other films, all of which concern the post-Civil War careers of the Missouri riders: those men and boys who threw in their hands with Bloody ...
