Armageddon
Ben Affleck, Clark Heathcliffe Brolly
Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 1999
A celebration of excitement and excess
Michael Bay's films are an odd addition to the Criterion collection, until you recall the Criterion Collection's mission statement reads "All we ask is that each film in the collection be an exemplary film of its kind."
Armageddon is ultimate distillation of ...

O (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Mekhi Phifer, Josh Hartnett
Lions Gate, 2002
A Disturbing Portrait of Deception and Jealousy Among Teenagers
Shakespeare's "Othello" has undergone many adaptions. Perhaps this fact is due to the timelessness of the themes which transcend all centuries; jealousy, deception, and betrayal. Shakespeare had a knack for exploring relevant themes. "O" is a modern-day adaptation ...

Crossfire Trail
Tom Selleck, Virginia Madsen
Warner Brothers, 2001
Western Gem
Great honest western. One of Selleck's best, with a fine supporting cast. The story is fascinating, the script is excellent, the scenery breathtaking. It is very clear who good guys are, and gratifying when they win! Straight up western - get some snacks, turn the ...

Air America (Special Edition)
Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr.
Lions Gate, 2004
Underrated And Unappreciated
Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. both in vintage form doing what they both do best - combing action and adventure with just the right amount dark humor. If you are a fan of either there is more than enough to keep you busy and it is well worth adding to your collection.

Stand By Me (Special Edition)
Scott Beach, Marshall Bell
Sony Pictures, 2000
Stands By Its Reputation
STAND BY ME is an amazing film that totally captures small town life, the late 1950's and more universally what it's like to be at that in between age of 12 or 13. It is incredible how much we learn about the four friends - Chris, Gordie, Teddy and Vern - in a ...

Hellraiser III - Hell on Earth
Kevin Bernhardt, Brent Bolthouse
Paramount, 2006
"Do I look like I care what God thinks?"
SO says Doug Bradley reprising his role as Pinhead; angel to some, demons to others. The lead cenobite as we thought was once dead isn't. When Kirsty shows Pinhead that he was once human in Hellraiser 2, a battle ensues between Pinhead and his cenobites against the ...

Eddie Murphy, Nick Nolte
Paramount, 2007
Great Double Feature
I was a bit suspect of two movies on one disc but after viewing both flicks on my Aquos flat-screen, I must admit, they are damn good transfers. This was perhaps Eddy Murphy's best work and they both represent the flavor of 1980s movie making in Hollywood. Anamorphic ...

Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe
Renny Krupinski, Demetri Jagger
A&E Home Video, 2002
Great adaption
This is a wonderful adaption of Ivanhoe. One feels a part of the drama. After watching the Hollywood version with Robert Taylor and Liz Taylor, I was a bit skeptical of purchasing this one. Once again A&E produced a wonderful movie based on great literature and stays ...

The Littles - The Complete Series
Gregg Berger, Patricia Parris
S'more Entertainment, 2007
Here's to hoping .
All i'm hoping is that this release of The Littles is as good as BCI 's releases of the He-Man and She-Ra series, the Ghostbusters and they take a cue from them on how release old shows on dvd that the fans will dig and not hate. I love The Littles and hope that it's ...

Psych-Out / The Trip
Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell
MGM (Video & DVD), 2003
Psych-Out/The Trip DVD Set
It was exactly what I had hoped for--a "trip" back into time and a look at a very young Jack Nicholson! I really enjoyed the movies.
