DVD: Charles Hughes ...     DVD:       Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe - The Complete Saturday Morning Serial26 reviews Buster Crabbe, Charles Middleton St. Clair Vision, 2007 Best edition of this title. The VCI edition of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe features a nice print plus more Buster Crabbe-related extras than any other edition on the market. Its on 2 DVDs, one of which is double-sided. The Roan edition comes in second: No extras, just a nice print on 1 DVD. But Roan has the best editions of the other 2 Flash Gordon serials: Space Soldiers, and Trip to Mars (nice prints, no extras). ...             Baseball Double Feature - Kill the Umpire / Safe at Home8 reviews Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris Sony Pictures, 2007 Outstanding! Kill The Umpire is one of William Bendix's best performances, right up there with Life Of Riley.This is a great baseball movie from the other side of the game, the umpire's point of view. Safe At Home is a great piece of nostalgia for baby boomers. Mantle, Maris, and the rest of the Yankees at their height! What's not to like?             Shirley Temple - America's Sweetheart Collection, Vol. 4 (Captain January / Just Around the Corner / Susannah ...7 reviews Shirley Temple, Joan Davis 20th Century Fox, 2006 very entertaining i love Shirley Temple she's really America's sweetheart long time ago and even now...             Next131 reviews Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore Paramount, 2007 NEXT time.... A cool twist to time travel. Keeps you stuck to the story and hopeful all the way to the end. For both Cage and for Biel.             It Came From Outer Space63 reviews Richard Carlson, Barbara Rush Universal Studios, 2002 Who is Watching Whom: Point of View and Mythology in IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE Nostalgia: 1950s sci-fi: That kid on the front row of his father's small-town movie theatre was me, looking up at the wide screen while wearing my 3-D glasses and surrendering my burden of personal consciousness to the science-fiction plot. Film theorists suggest that the act of viewing a motion picture, particularly in a theatre, causes audience members to temporarily lose their burden of ...             Love Affair26 reviews Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer Madacy Records, 1998 The one that started it all This is the wonderful rendition of what we most often think of as starting with "An Affair To Remember". This is the original, with many of it's scenes and even it's dialogue repeated in "An Affair To Remember" I owned this VHS and played it until it became unplayable. I recently purchased a used copy of the DVD and it had a lot of noise in the background toward the end. This, however, was on ...             Crumb (Special Edition)74 reviews Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky Sony Pictures, 2006 The archetypal outsider My son, who's much more attuned to the relationship between art and rebellion than I am, turned me onto this powerful film. Of course I remember Robert Crumb's artwork--especially "Mr. Natural"--from the late 60s and early 70s, but I knew absolutely nothing about his life. Watching this incredible documentary not only helps me better appreciate Crumb's message. It also makes me want to go back ...             Mystery Science Theater 3000 - I Accuse My Parents65 reviews Richard Bartell, Brooks Benedict Rhino Theatrical, 2002 Joel and the 'Bots are on their game . . . This is some of their best work. The zingers are well delivered right on time and funny. The total package is helped along by what is somewhat of a good movie in a 40s/50s sort of way. It's a preachy story about a geeky "good kid" who goes astray due to neglectful alcoholic (but well-dressed) parents. The "kid" seems to be in his mid-30's and has to range everywhere from a brown-nosing high ...             Destination Tokyo22 reviews Cary Grant, John Garfield Warner Home Video, 2004 Destination Tokyo Notwithstanding some explicit anti-Japanese sentiment, crew rough-housing and longings for home that feel a touch sappy in today's unsentimental world, "Destination" stands as a first-rate propaganda picture, released at a time when we needed it most. Grant is fabulous playing against his usual well-tailored image in a modern war movie, one of his few. His Cassidy is steady but human--a born ...             Next [HD DVD]131 reviews Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore Paramount Home Video, 2007 NEXT time.... A cool twist to time travel. Keeps you stuck to the story and hopeful all the way to the end. For both Cage and for Biel.             The Stunt Man (Limited Edition)63 reviews Charles Bail, Philip Bruns Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001 A Good Film Elevated To Greatness By A Brilliant Peter O'Toole By 1980, the year THE STUNT MAN was released, Peter O'Toole and his peers -- that infamous troupe of besotted British actors which included Richard Burton, Robert Shaw and Richard Harris -- were considered anachronisms by Hollywood. Fast living had aged them beyond their years, but more to the point, these classically trained Europeans, their mannered acting styles designed to project to the last ...             Michael Shayne Mysteries Vol. 1 (Michael Shayne: Private Detective / The Man Who Wouldn't Die / Sleepers West ...22 reviews Lloyd Nolan, Lynn Bari 20th Century Fox, 2007 Great Detective Movies (with lots of humor) -When Will Vol. 2 Appear? I'd never heard of this series of movies before, but am glad I bought this set on a whim when it went on sale at 50% off here on Amazon. What a great wise-cracking detective - reminds me of Archie Goodwin in the Nero Wolfe stories. These movies are fun - lots of 1940s action and humor. An earlier reviewer gives a good overview of each movie, so I won't try to add to those. I can only say ...             Staying Alive (Widescreen Edition)71 reviews Steve Bickford, Julie Bovasso Paramount, 2002 WOW!!! First off, John Travolta looks stunning in this movie. He is very fit and trim. Finola Hughes is gorgeous and very elegant. Cynthia Rhodes is a knockout and portrays her character, Jackie, with so much emotion. I think this is a fantastic movie. Since I was too young to see Sat Night Fever when it first came out, I didn't really understand all the ins/outs of Tony Manero. Having seen SNF as ...             Young Man With a Horn18 reviews Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall Warner Home Video, 2005 Great Hokum Pure hokum - corny, unintentionally funny dialogue - dumb plot - BUT great music and great picture, love it!             Sisters - Criterion Collection61 reviews Margot Kidder, Jennifer Salt Criterion, 2000 Does your sister have issues like this? This is a great film! Although the acting is a bit rough for a few characters I found myself drawn into the story line. We have Danielle Breton (Margot Kidder) has a one-night stand with a black TV-game show player. The morning after, he is killed by Danielle's psycho twin sister, Dominique Blanchion. But Grace Collier (Jennifer Salt), an aspiring journalist, sees everything from her flat across ...             Much Ado About Nothing / New York Shakespeare Festival (Broadway Theatre Archive)7 reviews Sam Waterston, Kathleen Widdoes Kultur Video, 2002 Jaunty introduction to MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING I was one of the 20 million viewers watching the original production on tv -- and fell in love with the show. The idea of updating the play to turn of the century America was a lot of fun - plus the addition of period music and beautiful costumes. Thought the leading players - Beatrice Widdowes and Sam Waterston were excellent in their parts -- and Barnard Hughes as Dogberry the Constable was ...             Dressed to Kill5 reviews Lloyd Nolan, Mary Beth Hughes 20th Century Fox, 2005 for fans of 40's detectives This is a movie for those of us who loved curling up with a good old murder mystery on a rainy Saturday afternoon long ago. Unfortunately this is the only Michael Shayne that I can find in print. I don't know why because it is much better than most of the later Charlie Chans that you can buy in an expensive set (a waste of money). Lloyd Nolan stars as the wise-cracking detective who would rather ...             Die Mommie Die!48 reviews Charles Busch, Angela Paton Arts Alliance Amer, 2005 Wow This was Lots of Fun!!!! I loved this clever and very campy film. I have always been a fan of female impersonators. I was very impressed and saw in NYC during the 70s the late Charles Pierce, and was equally impressed with the late Craig Russell, the star of the 70s movie "Outrageous" which I highly recommend. I am surprised that I had never seen the work of Charles Busch until I bought this DVD. He is truly a gifted ...             49 Up22 reviews Bruce Balden, Jacqueline Bassett FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2006 without a question, the best documentary series ever made This documentary will probably never be surpassed in my lifetime, because no one has attempted a project as ambitious as this around the same time Micheal Apted started this series in 1964. I've been keeping up with this series since I discovered 28 Up and it has had a profound impact on my life. Every time I see a new chapter of the series, I not only look at each of the subjects lives and ...             The Stunt Man63 reviews Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001 A Good Film Elevated To Greatness By A Brilliant Peter O'Toole By 1980, the year THE STUNT MAN was released, Peter O'Toole and his peers -- that infamous troupe of besotted British actors which included Richard Burton, Robert Shaw and Richard Harris -- were considered anachronisms by Hollywood.
