Shadows

Richard 'Pistol' Allen, Jack Ashford

Lions Gate, 2003

Absolutely outstanding!
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, musical or otherwise. (I admit to a strong bias, growing up madly in love with the music these gentlemen produced.) The historic, biographical, and concert footage here assembled brings these long-unsung musical ...

The Val Lewton Horror Collection (Cat People / The Curse of the Cat People / I Walked with a Zombie / The ...

Dennis O'Keefe, Margo

Turner Home Ent, 2005

Fun movie set
I love this set of movies. They manage to be fairly scary with few special effects and very little graphic violence or gore. The budgets are amazingly small--there are very few sets and very few actors. After watching Ghost Ship, I felt sure I had seen a movie that ...

Aki Kaurismäki's Proletariat Trilogy (Shadows in Paradise / Ariel / The Match Factory Girl)

Kati Outinen, Matti Pellonpaa

Criterion Collection, 2008

Well It's About Time!!!
I must say I've been crossing my fingers, lighting candles and doing voodoo mojo ceremonies in the hope that when these titles are finally released Stateside that they would be in Criterion Collection editions. And here they come! Aki Kaurismäki's three best films in ...

Alfred Hitchcock

Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2005

A Great Set to Own...
This collection comes in a beautiful velvet box with a booklet outlining the 14 films included in the collection. It pains me to give my favorite director's films anything less than 5 stars since some of his greatest creations are in this collection. However, I'm ...

In the Shadow of the Moon

Harrison Schmitt, Alan Bean

VELOCITY / THINKFILM, 2008

In the Shadow of the Moon
I really think that this movie is a must see, especially for those of us who grew up in the 60's with the start of the ventures into space. I was amazed at what these men went through. At the time I would have been too young to appreciate their sacrifice and ...

The Shadow Riders

Tom Selleck, Sam Elliott

Sony Pictures, 2008

GREAT VIEWING
Dear Amazon Great DVD of The Shadow Riders, always love Louis L'Amour movies, pity they didn't do a few more movies of his books. Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott were very good. Thank you for getting it to us very quickly, we really enjoyed it.

The Complete Thin Man Collection (The Thin Man / After the Thin Man / Another Thin Man / Shadow of the Thin ...

William Powell, Myrna Loy

Warner Home Video, 2005

Worth the price of admission
I've had my eye on this collection for some time but put off purchasing it becuase I wasn't sure how these "classics" would look on our 56" HD DLP television. My worries turned out to be unfounded as the picture and sound quality of these dvds is great. The ...

Dark Shadows: The Beginning, Vol. 6

Dark Shadows

MPI HOME VIDEO, 2008

The End of the Beginning!!
Fans of the Classic TV show Dark Shadows have wrung their hands in anxiety, held seancés, looked into crystal balls and read tarot cards to divine when - or if - the next DVD release of their favorite gothic soap opera would EVER be released, but mainly they've just ...

The Shadow

Alec Baldwin, John Lone

Universal Studios, 1997

comic book character comes to life
It is an excellent movie of the comic book hero The Shadow. It is very well done.

This boxed set from the iconic Classic TV soap opera Dark Shadows represents the next to the last set of episodes before the fabled appearance of 175-year-old vampire Barnabas Collins. MPI Home Video should be congratulated for continuing to release these less ...

John Cassavetes - Five Films (Shadows / Faces / A Woman Under the Influence / The Killing of a Chinese Bookie ...

John Cassavetes-Five Films

Criterion, 2004

Brilliant and beautiful and raw depictions of how vulnerable we can be
The theme that all of the indispensable films in this set return to is how vulnerable we can be. At bottom what each of us wants is to be respected, to be acknowledged and to be loved. Anyone who loses that vulnerability -- which is for Cassavettes an ability: the ...

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles [Blu-ray]

Mark Hamill, Chase Masterson

Funimation, 2008

early release?
Hmmmm...I just bought this item at Best Buy today, 8/26, on Blu-ray for $19.99 - both Amazon and the Best Buy web site list it as having a 9/2 release date...guess it came out early. Loved Robotech growing up, so this is like icing on the cake.

Dark Shadows The Revival - The Complete Series

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Bought by accident...but to my surprise!!!!
I bought the 'Dark Shadows: The Revival', as a joined bonus for buying the 'Dark Angel' (starring Jessica Alba) series. What I thought I was buying was the 1960's 'Dark Shadows' series, what I got...was something quite different. At first, I was a little bit ...

Do You Believe a Stranger About Your Relative?
