Whale

Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene

Sony Pictures, 2004

The Human Cost When Ancient Cultures Die
The Whale Rider is fundamentally a beautiful and sad rendition of what happens to men and women when their culture is overcome by a more complex and expanding new culture. What makes this film special is the certainty of the love among all the generations in the ...

Frankenstein

Colin Clive, Mae Clarke

Universal Studios, 1992

Innocence and sensitivity have no place in this world
Classic story of the mad scientist and the monster that stole his last name. Bela Lugosi turned this role down because it contained no lines. Lucky for Karloff, who beautifully conveyed the part with an engaging sensitivity while maintaining an ultimate level of ...

Free Willy (Clam)

Keiko (II), Jason James Richter

Warner Home Video, 1995

Great Family Flim!
This is a great adventure movie that children and adults alike would Love!

Samson and Sally: The Song of the Whales

Jesper Klein, Helle Hertz

Celebrity Home Entertainment, 1991

If you like Free Willy...
I first saw this movie when I was around seven or eight...I loved whales (after falling in love with Free Willy), and loved this movie as well. However, after watching it several years later, I discovered that there are some scary moments that come with all old ...

Show Boat (1936)

Irene Dunne, Allan Jones

MGM (Video), 1998

How is this not on DVD?
This version of the musical is my favorite by far and the most true to the stage version. I don't understand how it is not on DVD yet when it is on the "AFI's 25 Best Musicals of All Time" list. Yes, the 1936 version NOT the 1951 version is on the list. Irene Dunne is ...

The Invisible Man

Claude Rains, Gloria Stuart

Universal Studios, 1992

One Of The Classics of Sci-Fi Horror
Although this film deviates somewhat from H.G. Welles novella this is an excellent adaptation that is still entertaining seventy years after its first release. The setting of England in winter is well conveyed though we know that in all probability the film was made ...

When the Whales Came

Paul Scofield, David Threlfall

20th Century Fox, 1993

Drama Set Against a Natural and Historic Landscape
"When the Whales Came" is a must to see for anyone who likes nature, drama, folklore, history, and anything about Britain. Set on the remote island of Scylla, off Britain, the scenery of rolling water, sandy beaches, blue skies, and lush greenery is spectacular. The ...

Beginner's Bible: Jonah and the Whale
Beginners Bible

Sony, 1997

Frankenstein

Colin Clive, Mae Clarke

Universal Studios, 2001

Innocence and sensitivity have no place in this world
Classic story of the mad scientist and the monster that stole his last name. Bela Lugosi turned this role down because it contained no lines. Lucky for Karloff, who beautifully conveyed the part with an engaging sensitivity while maintaining an ultimate level of ...

The Bride of Frankenstein

Boris Karloff, Colin Clive

Universal Studios, 1992

Domestic dispute: Bride vs. Frankenstein
Can a sequel outdo the original? Audiences, critics, and (more importantly) many of my friends seem to think so. And they all have a solid case. The Bride of Frankenstein is a remarkable continuation of the previous masterpiece. It opens with a haunting murder ...

Man in the Iron Mask

Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett

Video Treasures, 1990

Overdone, but still one of the best
I remember watching this and other old movies on tv all the time. However, I haven't seen this in at least 25 years. All I remembered is that it was one of the greatest ever. I bought a copy recently, which was in excellent condition. Not at all to my surprise after ...

The Whales of August

Bette Davis, Lillian Gish

Nelson Entertainment, 1990

Bette Davis' Swan Song Performance
This is the final "major" motion picture performance done by Bette Davis. As I watch it over and again, it is crystal clear to me that Miss Davis is knowingly telling her beloved fans, "thanks and goodbye," just before she died. Co-starring with the magnificent ...

On Top of the Whale

Fernando Bordeu, Amber De Grau

Kino Video, 2000

Maybe worse movie I ever saw
It was like a 12 year old tried to put in a bunch of novice quality tricks into his film, as none made sense, and I'm pretty liberal when it comes to creative films. The story line made no sense either. I watched it with some friends, and I had to get up and leave ...

Willie the Operatic Whale

Willie the Operatic Whale

Buena Vista Home Video, 1991

Disney at it's short-subject best!!
The three stories on this video are probably a bit corny for today's jaded kids, but make them watch it anyway!!! The loving detail, the handpainted animation (each of the three stories in a very different style), the music and the wonderful voice narration can ...

In the Wild: Gray Whales with Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve

Pbs Home Video, 2000

In the Wild: Lemurs With John Cleese
If you like lemurs, but this now. Now, now, now. Go on, I'll wait. Got it? Good. I wish all nature programs could be this funny, entertaining and informative. Cleese's self-deprecating humor and his obvious love for lemurs shine through and make this a wonderful ...
