Native Son [VHS]
Richard Wright (IV), Gloria Madison
Xenon, 1998
the book is better than the movie, but worth watching
When originally released in Europe as Sangre Negra in 1950, Native Son - the film - was a long time coming for Wright. The author had fought for the intergrity of his original novel enough to take up playing Bigger Thomas himself. When released for American audiences ...

Cane Toads: An Unnatural History [VHS]
Tip Byrne, H.W. Kerr
First Run Features, 1999
I need to move to Australia
This is the perhaps the best movie I have every seen. It is informative and yet it somehow will make the viewer laugh throughout. I saw it in a class and had to come home and buy it. All I can say now is that I want some Australian friends.

Great movie
A little dated but still an enjoyable movie. William Holden is very handsome and Judy Holiday is superb as the dumb blond. An enjoyable film.

Sugar Cane Alley [VHS]
Garry Cadenat, Darling Légitimus
New Yorker Video, 1998
a beautiful film.......
SUGAR CANE ALLEY was my introduction to the culture of Martinique during the 1930s. This beautiful 1983 release, directed by Euzhan Palcy, is a powerful and sensitively made character study. It follows the plight of Jose (Garry Cadenat), an eleven year old boy living ...

Lone Star (1951) [VHS]
Clark Gable, Ava Gardner
MGM (Warner), 1998
How can a movie with Ava Gardner not be a hit.
Gable is hired to bring Texas into the union. Crawford plays villian. Gardner looks great and has to choose between two men. Good 'horray for texas' movie.

Ruby Gentry [VHS]
Jennifer Jones, Charlton Heston
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000
Terrific tale of love, passion and revenge!
The melodrama formula is perfect in this film. King Vidor, one of the most talented directors of the Hollywood great times, give us a stunning fable of desire. Jennifer Jones is amazing as Ruby... as young Charlton Heston. Some people of today can't understand why a ...

A True Delight!
I had heard of this film but never got the chance to see it until recently on TCM. What a delightful film! I had forgotten that Gary Cooper made another film with the beautiful and talented Teresa Wright. She was not only beautiful, but made you feel like you were ...

Mondo Cane 2 / Shockumentary [VHS]
Woodhaven Ent, 2000
Excellent cultural introspective.. Serious and satirical at once.. Social commentary meets National Geographic.
And in my opinion, the best of the series~
Horrific in theory rather than imagery.. Shocking in it's comparitive composition.. rather than blunt spearheaded direction.
A small price to pay for such a memorable and replayable film.

Dead Reckoning [VHS]
Humphrey Bogart, Lizabeth Scott
Sony Pictures, 1994
Bogart at his best !
I have close to 30 Bogart movies on DVD/VHS and "Dead Reckoning" may be
my favorite, behind "The Big Sleep" only !
The noir style along with the best dialogue I have ever heard and it doesn't get much better than Lizabeth Scott.
Always wondered what this movie ...
