William Devane, Ralph Bellamy

Mpi Home Video, 2001

A Movie Everyone Should See
I lived through the Missiles of October. It is still amazing and truly frightening to see how close we came to nuclear war. No Senator, Congressional Rep, candidate for President, or informed voter should miss this film. I'd seen it on TV, then bought the video. The ...

Sergeant York (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan

Warner Home Video, 2006

Sgt. York the ultimate Soldier
I found the 2 disk set of Sgt York a very good buy. The second disk is as good as the movie itself. I as a gun collector and a historian found some flaws in the movie itself. He did not use a 1903 Springfield he used a M-1917 Enfield Rifle that fired a 30-06 bullet and ...

Mommie Dearest (Special Collector's Edition)

Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid

Paramount, 2006

Dunaway Is As Good As Brando Ever Was
I don't know if this review will reach anyone. Hopefully someone. This dvd is a must for anyone who has seen this film and loved it or anyone who wants to see it. Also an excellent way to learn more about Joan Crawfod and more importantly, Faye Dunaway. Dunaway ...

The Great Gatsby

Robert Redford, Mia Farrow

Paramount Pictures, 2003

A Great "Gatsby"!
This stunning production with its splendid cinematography and its intelligent script by Francis Ford Coppola captures the essence of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel of the man who pursues his preposterous dream. Robert Redford is utterly convincing as the enigmatic ...

1776 (Restored Director's Cut)

William Daniels, Howard Da Silva

Sony Pictures, 2002

36 years later it all comes together!
I saw this film multiple times in the movies at 4 years of age with my parents and listened to the record also. Twenty years later when purchasing the VHS, I noted that "Cool Considerate Men" wasn't there even though I remembered the song from the record. My father ...

Nevada Smith

Steve McQueen, Karl Malden

Paramount, 2003

Forsaking Revenge
This is an excellent western and a marvelous exposé of the bigotry of an era when many regarded Indians with the same contempt that unborn babies are seen today. To kill one, even as brutally and violently as Max Sand/Steve McQueen's mother's dies, is to do nothing ...

The Brave One [Blu-ray]

Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard

Warner Home Video, 2008

Jodie does it again
Jodie has made a Aone DVD. It is different and very intriging. She does an excellent job in all her portrayals.

The Lost Weekend

Ray Milland, Jane Wyman

Universal Studios, 2001

still the classic
Why was this movie not made mandatory viewing in every school in the 50s Well, we all know the reason. But it would have saved a lot of lives. Still the most vivid and moving protrait of alcoholism around. Not for the squeamish, but its a lot better to watch this than ...

The Brave One (Full-Screen Edition)

Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard

Warner Home Video, 2008

Jodie does it again
Jodie has made a Aone DVD. It is different and very intriging. She does an excellent job in all her portrayals.

Tonight We Raid Calais

Annabella, John Sutton

20th Century Fox, 2007

Very Solid WWII B Flick
TONIGHT WE RAID CALAIS is an enjoyable little piece of studio propaganda, with an efficient screenplay by Waldo Salt, and nice Fox production values. Annabella's not the most expressive of actresses (or particularly fluent in English, for that matter), and she's a bit ...

David and Lisa

Mathew Anden, Howard Da Silva

Homevision, 2007

Spare & poignant beauty
I hadn't seen this film in decades, and I wondered how well it would hold up now. I needn't have worried: it's still as lovely & touching as I remembered, with the same quiet power that moved me as a teenager. The performances are wonderful, with Keir Dullea's David ...

14 Hours (Fox Film Noir)

Paul Douglas, Richard Basehart

20th Century Fox, 2006

Excellent value
Great film noir that keeps you in the action from the very start. Not only a plausible story line for today, it also shows the "non-technical" aspect of police work from days long past. An excellent movie with an all star cast. Refreshingly absent are computer ...
