Hope Gets the Girl
Hope fans will have fun watching watching Bob and beautiful Madeleine Carroll navigate through this delightful romp about secret flight plans hidden in a gold scorpion pin. Hope gets off some good one-liners and there is even an amusing cameo from Bing. A better than ...

Humorous Reply to "Easy-Out Ending" comments
My Mom, uncle and I absolutly love the ending! We don't see it as "moralistic" or sunday-school, or "cheesy"!! To us it is absolutly halarious!!! We love the OVER-THE-TOP, DRAMATIC ending!! In fact there are many funny moments like "...blue ones for little boys and ...

Cane Toads: An Unnatural History
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.

Lone Star (1951)
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.

Native Son (1951) (B&W Ep)
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 ...

Born Yesterday
Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford
Sony Pictures, 1994
"He's right! I'm stupid and I like it!"
From your first impression of Judy Holliday in this movie you expect her to be refined and sophisticated...well, until she opens her mouth! She's a perfect mix of Eliza Doolittle and Lina Lamont.
It's no wonder Judy Holliday won an Academy Award for her amazing ...

Dead Reckoning
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 ...

Bliss Qigong: Tai Ji Qigong
John Du Cane
Excellent production of a powerful and effective basic chi kung set
I learned this set more than 10 years ago from Stuart Alve Olson and have practiced it nearly every day since then, which should give you an idea of how much I like it. But I wanted to refresh my memory of the set (to make sure I hadn't developed bad habits) and this ...

Mondo Cane/Mondo Cane 2
Rossano Brazzi, Stefano Sibaldi
Vidcrest, 1996
too old to be truly shocking
Although some of the moments in this film will definetly shock or disgust, most of the movie is very tame i.e African tribe collecting water from plants. However if you are not very experienced in shockumentary films this is a nice one to start on.

Zatoichi Blind Swordsman's Cane Sword
Shintarô Katsu, Rentaro Mikuni
Chambara, 2000
A touching and heroic film. Shintaro Katsu does it again.
The best entry I've seen so far in the Zatoichi series. The setting in these films seems so real and the stories touch the soul in a profound nature. I found myself tense throughout this entire movie, desperatley yearning for Zatoichi the blind masseur to distribute ...

Hairy Ape
William Bendix, Susan Hayward
United American Video Corp, 1987
Well-acted film of O'Neill's play with a bestial ship coal stoker in love with socialite passenger Hayward. She in turn is insulting to him and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Thought-provoking film that exposes the sometimes-unpleasant side of relationships between people. Leonard Maltin Rating: 3 stars.
