DVD: Arthur Byron ...     DVD:       Hot Rods to Hell13 reviews Dana Andrews, Jeanne Crain Warner Home Video, 2007 A True Classic I just cannot believe that this masterpiece in movie perfection of standard has been hidden for so long. The story line synergizes the acting and actors to deliver a profound delivery of what can be not only the individual character aspects, but also an insight into the true meaning to life. So many people whom I work with love this movie. We have a Hot Rod to Hell fan club. We go to the site ...             The Poseidon Adventure (Special Edition)157 reviews Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine 20th Century Fox, 2006 MORE than a simple disaster/adventure flick Irwin Allen's 1972 "The Poseidon Adventure," based on the book by Paul Gallico, pretty much started the disaster film craze in the 70s (e.g. "Earthquake" and "The Towering Inferno"). Gallico's inspiration for the story reportedly came from his personal experience on a vessel that almost capsized. THE STORY: After a tidal wave capsizes an ocean liner on New Years Eve, ten survivors struggle to ...             Shirley Temple - America's Sweetheart Collection, Vol. 3 (Dimples / The Little Colonel / The Littlest Rebel)7 reviews Shirley Temple, Frank Morgan 20th Century Fox, 2006 Not Only The Greatest Child Actress. But The Greatest Actress Ever. I just finished watching this volume 3 collection and want to wholeheartedly endorse it. I had read some reviews that the picture quality and sound was not so good and was doubtful if I should buy it, but bought it all the same as I had enjoyed the other two volumes so much. Well I was not disappointed at all. The sound quality was very good. Try listning to it on the stereo option on the ...             The Poseidon Adventure157 reviews Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine 20th Century Fox, 1999 MORE than a simple disaster/adventure flick Irwin Allen's 1972 "The Poseidon Adventure," based on the book by Paul Gallico, pretty much started the disaster film craze in the 70s (e.g. "Earthquake" and "The Towering Inferno").

It began with an excellent story by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Richard Schayer. It was a mystery and adventure set in the exotic location of Egypt, a present day romance in a tug of war with a supernatural love story. The results are a screen classic. The story opens at a dig by the British Museum in 1921 as Sir ...             The Miracle of Morgan's Creek49 reviews Eddie Bracken, Betty Hutton Paramount, 2005 The Miracle of Morgan's Creek Preston Sturges's divinely goofy comedy is extremely broad, but still clicks, thanks to a bizarre, surprisingly risque premise only this director could concoct, and a kooky cast only he could assemble. Hutton and Bracken are mutually over-the-top as Trudy and Norval, creating a frantic comic rhythm all their own, but Demarest steals it as Trudy's volatile Dad ("Daughters!"). Love it or not, ...             Prisoner of Shark Island (The Ford at Fox Collection)5 reviews Warner Baxter, Gloria Stuart 20th Century Fox, 2007 Fine early John Ford "The Prisoner of Shark Island" is the story of one Samuel Mudd, a Maryland physician. The good doctor is ably played by Warner Baxter. After assassinating President Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth hurt his leg jumping from a balcony. Eluding the Law, JWB called on Mudd, who set the leg without knowing Booth's true identity. The pursuing Fed troops treat Mudd as a conspirator and he is sentenced to ...             Hangmen Also Die12 reviews Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, Brian Donlevy Kino Video, 2000 why the end titles are ironic, etc. Classic Expressionist images and sly situations by Fritz Lang; cinematography by James Wong Howe; propaganda poetry by Bertolt Brecht (so nice they recite it twice in succession, in case we've missed the point)--HANGMEN ALSO DIE is irresistable! The story was inspired by the actual assassination of Reinhard Heydrick, who had earlier appeared as himself in Riefenstahl's TRIUMPH OF THE WILL. ...             The Mummy72 reviews Boris Karloff, Zita Johann Universal Studios, 1999 A True and Fun Film Classic The Mummy is one of the great horror films from the early days of sound pictures.

Who needs Shirley Temple when you have WARNER BAXTER!? Okay, so there is too little Shirley Temple to go around. But still, this movie would be just fine without Shirley. I didn't buy it because of her, I got because I LOVE WARNER BAXTER! After June Knight, he is my favorite actor. He carries this film with the usual expertise, but I get a little sad seeing him in these ol' musicals when he used to do such great work in silents. As is typical of most ...             Savage Girl Rochelle Hudson, Walter Byron Alpha Video, 2005 Legend tells of a mysterious dark-haired white woman deep in the African jungle, a goddess who possesses great power over wild beasts. Famed hunter Jim Franklin dismisses the story and plans a trip to the dangerous region to capture wild animals. Financin             The Mayor of Hell3 reviews James Cagney, Madge Evans Warner Home Video, 2008 Typical Cagney The only reason I got this movie was we caught the beginning on AMC and had to leave before it was over. I am basically collecting his musicals. After watching it from beginning to end I have to say I am not sorry I got it. It is a good story and shows how you can turn kids around by treating them with respect. It also shows how someone can really screw up their life by making the wrong choices. ...             The Mummy [Region 2]72 reviews Boris Karloff, Zita Johann A True and Fun Film Classic The Mummy is one of the great horror films from the early days of sound pictures.

"Off the Menu: The Last Days of Chasen's" is the best documentary I've seen in a long time. The documentary catches the audience and in a fascinating and human way describes the atmosphere, the staff who dedicated their lives serving the stars, but also deals with the evolution in the restaurant business that played a role in the closing of this famous Hollywood restaurant. It's a great ...             Arizona4 reviews Jean Arthur, Griff Barnett Sony Pictures, 2005 I like this film! Jean Arthur is terrific in "Arizona" as a strong-willed woman who holds her own out west. She gets her man (Holden) without sacrificing her freedom and dreams. I suppose one should call the whole thing unconventional. After all, it's a western whose lead character and overriding focus is the heroine (who is also unconventional). So few westerns retain my interest because of the lack of ...             Dimples11 reviews Shirley Temple, Frank Morgan 20th Century Fox, 2006 "Dimples (1936) ...
