The Masque of the Red Death / The Premature Burial

Vincent Price, Hazel Court

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Still crazy after all these years!
Masque of the Red Death was my absolutel favorite of all the Vincent Price movies. I first saw it as part of a double feature (remember those?) along with an Annette and Frankie surfing movie. Well, I have little memory of the content of that beach-party film, but Masque of the Red Death has remained a life-long favorite! Bunus! It's a double-feature again, this time without the sand and surf, ...

Howard Hughes' Hell's Angels

What More Can You ask For?
A beautiful woman to die for, airplanes, dog fights and exciting gun play all wrapped into 1 classic pre-censor movie. A classic! This flick makes Top Gun look like the childs play that it is. These pilots, including producer Howard Hughes, actually risked their lives (and sadly 4 lost their life)in the making of this classic. Eat your hearts out Maverick and Iceman. These are the real air studs, ...

American Mediocrity
Felicity - strong acting but the story goes nowhere Samantha - mostly good acting, AnnaSophia Robb faulters as the lead Molly - horrible acting, they don't even try on the sets If you are a Shailene Woodley fan get Felicity by itself. She's cute in it and the movie is ok though never great. Otherwise stay away from these movies.

WOW, he's really 13 inches!
I was pleasantly surprised by this film after being persuaded by my Amazon buddy and friend, Clint Bronson to see this. This 1997 film is loosely based on John Holmes the legendary porn film star of the 70s and 80s. Instead of John Holmes, the character is Dirk Diggler. A young bus boy, Eddie Adams, (Mark Walberg) is discovered by a porn film director, Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) at a San ...

a true cinema classic
Frank Capra's LOST HORIZON, based on the bestselling novel by James Hilton, is truly one of the milestones of modern fantasy cinema. The cast is impeccable, the sets inspired, and audience fascination for the material has only increased throughout the years. This DVD presents the film complete and restored to it's original 132 minute theatrical running-time. British diplomat Robert Conway ...

Love This Movie!
Tim Allen is one of my favorite comedians. Love this movie. It's one of those movies that you want to watch over and over again, and you'll laugh as hard as the first time.

Little known film
I got this movie from netflix, and was very happy I did. I was somewhat surprised by the PG-13 rating, because of the lesbian sub-plot, but the movie was incredible. I find it interesting that the only two-star ratings I noticed were because of this part of the storyline. I sometimes think that these homophobes only bother to rate movies with this type of storyline just to further their own ...

The Original & Still The Best
I think this was one of Chevy Chase's best flick of them all and that this is surely the best and funniest Vacation saga of them all, because European Vacation, X-Mas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation weren't nearly as funny and European Vacation is where the Vacation installments started losing their touch, so this original Vacation, which was also the 1st installment of the Vacation series is ...

Excellent Bargain! Two for the Price of One!
I bought this DVD for a colleague of mine who was teaching "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in his class. "Beloved" also happens to a favorite book of his as well. The quality is first rate and you're getting two for the price of one if you think about it. "Beloved" was written by the Nobel Prize Winner Toni Morrison and starring Oprah Winfrey while "Their Eyes Were Watching God" written by Zora ...

I watched it 5 times the first week. what a phenomenal film about humanity and redemption. jason patric is out standing as a farmer driven by his conscience to help a runaway slave girl. larry drake is so real as ...

Hard Eight
Before he became famous as the director of "Boogie Nights," Altman acolyte Anderson directed this intriguing indie about three hard-luck denizens of the seedy Nevada casino scene. Anderson's forte (like his late mentor's) is his feel for atmosphere and character, and here he builds "Eight" from quiet, somber drama to shocking neo-noir, especially once Samuel L. Jackson steps into the picture as a ...

Truly (if surprisingly) effective!
My daughter (4yo) and her cousin (5yo) first "met" Mrs. Phipps and Snoothy when my mother bought a used copy of Learn to Read volume 1 at a yard sale. After seeing just a few minutes of it, my mother almost threw it away, thinking it seemed too boring and unsophisticated for a modern child. To her surprise, both my daughter (then 3) and her cousin (then 4) absolutely LOVED the video! Whenever ...

Dreamworks Video, 2003

outstanding
I have not the least objection to western remakes of eastern horror fantasies as long as it results in an excellent movie like "The Ring". Starting out with creepy black & white video images the film soon builds thick and eerie atmosphere and also succeeds in giving the viewer quite an early scare. The gradually unfolding story is absorbing, constantly thrilling and splendidly supported by fine ...

Chris Pine, Eddie Kaye Thomas

20th Century Fox, 2008

'Disabilities' and Possibilities
The title and cover of this DVD suggest a film that is more fluff than substance. But don't be fooled by these clues. BLIND DATING is a well-written (Christopher Theo), well-directed (James Keach - brother of Stacy Keach and husband of Jane Seymour) story about the coping of the visually impaired, the quirks of Italian and Indian families, brotherhood, and the gamut of finding the right partner ...

Don't Understand The Negative
I just rewatched this film after about 10 years, and I was blown away again. As someone who thinks the book is one of America's greatest novels of all time, I have to say Jonathan Demme and the cast of Beloved created some flawless work. I don't think I will ever understand the negative reviews of this film or the novel for that matter. When I read people say "disgusting" or "gross" about the ...
