Howard the Duck
Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones
Universal Pictures, 1994
One of my favorite movies ever. Can't wait for the DVD!
Howard the Duck must be one of the best movies I ever saw while I was growing up. When I found out how horrible the movie did box-office wise, I thought, Okay, what went wrong? The movie takes home 4 razzies including worst picture of 1986 and George Lucas disowns the ...

Voices & Visions: Langston Hughes
Voices & Visions
Unapix Consumer Products, 1995
Outstanding Video!
There was a negative description on this site--it regarded a negative review of a wholeseller--rather than the video itself--which is amazing. Langston Hughes was an icon and remains so. This video has great production value and shows the Hughes in all his historical ...

The Little Mermaid II - Return to the Sea
Jodi Benson, Samuel E. Wright
Walt Disney Video, 2000
Wonderful to watch!
Like most people, I love "The Little Mermaid". It was the first Disney Princess movie I ever watched and started my love of all the princesses. When I heard of "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea", I had to see it. I thought it would be good, but not as good as ...

Great Sailor Moon
Such a cute and touching tale. Luna falls head over heals in love...not for Artemis (sorry man) but for a scientist. Guess she likes the intellectual types...especially when they save her life. Although love is in bloom in december, the scouts have a new problem and ...

Pride & Prejudice (1995) (6pc) (Coll Box)
Saw
A&E Home Video, 1996
COLIN FIRTH...what more need I say?
I love the book by Jane Austen, which I recommend reading as well, and who better to tell this wonderful story than the sexiest British man alive: Colin Firth. Everyone in this version of the movie plays their parts perfectly (especially when compared to the book). It ...

What can I say? It's Cinderella!
I'm replacing all my Disney VHS with DVD and was glad to get Cinderella Special Edition at a good price (plus free shipping with Amazon Prime!). As always, shopping with Amazon was easy, shipping was fast, packing was protective and - hey - it's Cinderella!

Quatermass Xperiment
Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
A good movie to see
Only true fans of science fiction will appreciate the creeping unknown
a.k.a.The Quatermass Xperiment. I happen to be one of them. I remember
watching this fim at the age of eight and it scared me silly. Later on
I understood better and it didn't bother me.

Schoolhouse Rock! - Multiplication Rock
Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie
Walt Disney Video, 1997
A Schoolhouse Rock Testimonial
When I was in third grade I never could get my times tables down pat- the sevens and twelves proved especially tricky. So my mom checked out this video from the library, and that changed immediately. I could rattle off my multiplication tables as fast as everybody else ...

I bought this set back in 1999, reluctantly. I had never found a good exercise video and was getting the four pack hoping that at least ONE would be good. Well, it's 2006 and I am still doing Tae Bo. I have expanded my collection of videos (and DVDs now) but I still ...

Slaughter in San Francisco
Chuck Norris, Don Wong
World Northal, 1994
Forgotten classics
I was looking through my old videos and ran across this old classic. Wow, this movie is amazingly thorough and just plain beautiful. I hear Norris might reprise his role on Broadway. Forget this Walker garbage.

I'd like to say the the price wasn't too cheap, because at $23.00, I could have bought this movie new. I figured I haven't had a bad experience in the 2 years I've been purchasing items from Amazon, so I'd buy it anyway. The delivery time was excellent, the case was ...

Anchor Bay, 1998
Outstanding Video Quality.
As both the Criterion and earlier Anchor Bay releases of Hitchcock's "Rebecca" are out-of-print and very exspensive to purchase as used, I decided to try this Korean import. Turns out to be excellent and appears to come from the Criterion source! It even has their ...

Wow! The First Music Videos and For Classical Music Too!
This movie was clearly way ahead of its time when it was released in the early 1940s and I'm not surprised that it was a box-office flop at that time as it struck me while watching this that this must be the "Sgt. Pepper's" of animation at that time. Another major ...
