Ava Gardner Bathing Beauty (1944) X-Men - Rogue - Ro... Fernando Rey

Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider

20th Century Fox, 1992

Gene Hackman
One of the classic cop movies of all time. Keeps moving with plenty of action. Never forgot the name Popeye Doyle.

Adventurers (2pc) [VHS]

Charles Aznavour, Alan Badel

Paramount, 1998

Classic Soap Opera Adventure w / A History Lesson
This Is a Classic, Layered Soap Opera Adventure. It takes place over a Generation In a Fictional Country In South America. All of It's principal characters are quite striking In their Beauty. All Necessary for a Soap Opera to Proceed. What I find Interesting Is that ...

Seven Beauties [VHS]

Giancarlo Giannini, Fernando Rey

Fox Lorber, 1999

Seven Beauties
A wildly chaotic farce by Europe's pioneering female director, Lina Wertmuller's Oscar-nominated "Beauties" begins with a montage of war footage sarcastically narrated by an unseen observer. Then we meet Giannini's macho Italian crook, a not-so-wholesome Everyman who ...

Honey (miele di donna) 1981
Clio Goldsmith, Catherine Spaak

Mission In Morocco [VHS]

Lex Barker, Juli Reding

Republic Pictures, 1998

Juli Reding is the only reason to see this film
The story of an investigator and his fiance going to an exotic locale is trite. The sight of cantilevered pin-up Juli Reding in a bathing suit and an angorra sweater is worth five stars although her acting is poor.

Antony and Cleopatra

Charlton Heston, Hildegard Neil

Embassy, 1985

Heston 10, Critics 0
Charlton Heston's production is an excellent adaptation. It is not a filmed play, but a movie. Every character, from the leads to the most minor, is well played. As director, even working on a shoestring budget, Heston managed to get in the spectacular action that a ...

Saving Grace [VHS]

Tom Conti, Fernando Rey

Embassy Home Entertainment, 1990

A great Movie
This is such a wonderful heart warming movie! I wish that there was some way to get it out on DVD! I've watched it many times and it always makes me believe again in goodness in the world.

Monsignor [VHS]

Christopher Reeve, Geneviève Bujold

Fox Home Entertainment, 1983

Almost a successful film
Just caught "Monsignor" on cable. It seemed to be well-paced in that it didn't drag for me as it did for another reviewer. The plus side is that it shows the worldly side of the Roman Church and how this church might get into financially ambiguous dealings with the ...

1492 - Conquest of Paradise [VHS]

Gérard Depardieu, Armand Assante

Paramount, 1998

Conquest of Paradise
A Magical recounting of Columbus's voyage to the new land - very underrated and, sadly, one of the most overlooked quality films made in some time. Also one of the most breathtaking Vangelis soundtracks available - a definite "must" if you are a Vangelis fan. Worth ...

Return of the Magnificent Seven [VHS]

Yul Brynner, Robert Fuller

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Shades of WWII and Vietnam
As I watched this rather unusual western, it occured to me that the main characters and plot bore a striking resemblance to that of the European theater of WWII. For example, like Hitler, Lorca is a madman, willing to sacrifice his fortune, the lives of many of his ...

Disney Black Arrow

Oliver Reed, Fernando Rey

DISNEY, 1984

A Wonderful Disney Movie!!!
I never thought I would buy another movie on VHS, but I made an acception with the Black Arrow. I had taped it off the Disney Channel many years ago and it was accidentally taped over. I was hoping to someday see it on DVD, but with not much luck in that direction, I ...

Chimes At Midnight (Falstaff)

Orson Welles, John Gielgud

Arthur Cantor Films

Welles' final masterpiece is worth seeking out
What a shame it is that Orson Welles' "Chimes at Midnight" isn't currently available in any form. I was extremely fortunate to receive a similar VHS version (English language, no subtitles) as a gift before the usual legal wrangling over Welles' later works forced it ...

Quintet [VHS]

Paul Newman, Vittorio Gassman

20th Century Fox, 1998

A hard, hard snow is going to fall.
I love this movie, I grew up in a place that had 6 months of hard winter, but nothing like is portrayed in the movie. It may move at a glacial pace, but that is the way of the cold. You don't use any more energy that you have to. I love the bleakness of the ...

The Light at the Edge of the World [VHS]

Kirk Douglas, Yul Brynner

United American Video, 2001

A Haunting and Memorable Film You Won't Forget - Even at the Edge of the World
The "Light at the Edge of the World" is a haunting film which plums the darker and heroic sides of human nature. Set on a desolate island, which has a lighthouse, the lonely serenity of those who work there is shattered when a pirate ship arrives. The movie presents ...

Last Days of Pompeii [VHS]

Steve Reeves, Christine Kaufmann

Timeless Video Inc., 2003

fantastique movie!
The plot is actually quite deep, despite some of the comments. It deals with the early opression of christians and is (within dramatic license) historically acurate. If you hate christians, then I can see why there might be some bad reviews. But un biggoted views ...
