If you enjoy Civil War era drama, then you must get this set!
We saw the first 2 books of this series when it was originally on TV, in the 80's, but missed the 3rd. We don't buy very many DVD's, but had to get this one, as we had enjoyed it so much. The actors are great, the scenery is beautiful and the storyline keeps you from wanting to turn it off. I really enjoy shows around the Civil War era and this one teaches you alot about the history of that ...

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

John Wayne, James Stewart

Paramount, 2001

Print The Legend
Stylistically, this is a very interesting film from director John Ford. The film begins with alot of colorful characterizations familiar to audiences with films as diverse as "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers". There's also alot of brutal realism which would anticipate the work of Sam Peckinpah. It's also interesting that Ford contrasts the traditional western as represented by John Wayne with ...

Childhood Classic
I've actually tried reading the book, but I just love the movie so much more. Mrs. Brisby is a single mother mouse desperately trying to save the life of her oldest son, Timmy. In the process, this timid heroine is forced to face her fears and doubts in order to become stronger and accomplish her goal. The characters are very loveable, cept for your villains who are appropriately creepy in the ...

Stagecoach
If you're looking at ordering Stagecoach, you probably don't need me to tell you that it's a great movie. Yes, it's in black and white. Yes, it's a little grainy. Yes, its on a square screen. That will keep the brats who don't like looking at a movie in black and white from seeing it. This is a movie for the more informed, the more enlightened. The movie itself is excellent and complete. ...

The Court Jester

Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns

Paramount, 1999

A Great Movie
The Court Jester is a true classic that will keep you entranced the whole time. Danny Kaye is a top-flight actor and singer. It is sort of a take on Robin Hood , the evil king on the throne and a band of fearless outlaws in the forest loyal to the real king. Except Danny is not the fearless leader but the nurse to the orphaned crown prince, and his only duties are to hold the child and show ...

ACTING, CINEMATOGRAPHY AND DIRECTION COMBINE TO MAKE THIS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. GREAT ...

John Wayne, Lauren Bacall

Paramount, 2001

Great swan song
Based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout, this movie tells the tale of a famous gunslinger who is heading for his last shootout. The movie follows the book pretty accurately except for a few changes: in the novel, the character of Gillum, the son of the widow played by Lauren Bacall, is a little different from how he was portrayed in the movie, and also the sheriff, played by Henry Morgan, has a ...

Early SCI FI, What Fun
The stuff that we thought was so cool. This fits right up there with Buck Rodgers, Battle Star Galatica, Star Wars (the orignal) and Space Balls. Early Sci-Fi is too funny. Love them all

Drums Along the Mohawk

Claudette Colbert, Henry Fonda

20th Century Fox, 2005

John Ford and the American Revolution
Based on Walter D. Edmonds' historical novel, "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939) remains among the few memorable films about the American Revolution. Director John Ford's first Technicolor production benefits immeasurably from the Oscar-nominated cinematography of Bert Glennon and Ray Rennahan. Though episodic and slow moving in its narrative structure, Ford doesn't shy away from the brutal savagery ...

Ken Burns Presents: The West

PBS Paramount, 2004

Go West!
This is an incredible piece of filmmaking. This is Ken Burns' long-overlooked documentary masterpiece about the birth and transformation of the West of America. Every "chapter" is more engaging than the last. This doc is also very well-balanced as far as the white Native American points of view. "The West" spans the devastation and ingenuity unique to American History. This doc is completely ...

A real bargain - but beware, you're getting quantity over quality
The Mill Creek Horror Collection 250 Movie Pack gives you a ridiculous amount of value for the money. At around 20 cents a title, how can you go wrong? I've had this for a couple of months and have managed to watch about 20 of the movies so far. I can't comment on everything, but I figure what I've seen so far is a good snapshot of the whole collection. I'm giving this five stars because ...

Spoiled little Rich kid snob saved from himself by gruff old fisherman
This is a timeless tale of the little rich kid snob saved from himself by the gruff old man. Its pretty good and involves a rich kid sneaking beer and smoking cigars, getting sick, and then falling overboard while puking over the side of the luxury cruise ship. He gets picked up by a Nantucket fishing boat that is just going out and won't be back to port for like 3 months. He tells everyone ...

Captains and the Kings

Koch Vision, 2009

One of the Best TV Mini-series Ever
I have been waiting for this mini-series to be released on DVD. Captains and the Kings made the late Richard Jordan a star. It also featured a very young and talented Blair Brown. The cast had Patty Duke, Henry Fonda ( a memorable cameo) Perry King, and the late Vic Morrow. It is clear that the Armaugh clan was losely based on the Kennedy family. I just love it. It was as good as Centennial, ...

excellent adaptation
This movie is based on the book The Outsider by Penelope Williamson. The book was excellent, and the movie is a faithful and well-rendered adaption of the story. Amish mother and widow Rachel is getting by, missing her husband and trying to keep their ranch going with the help of her young son, but generally content with her life. Then gunslinger Johnny shows up. He's wounded and needs help, and ...

The Cowboys
One of my favorite John Wayne movies (with the Shootist, I must like him vulnerable lol.) His and the boys' growth together in knowledge & caring is the important story. Some objected to the ending, but "finishing the job" is important and the actions were no more violent than the times. The addition of Rosco Lee Brown was delightful and added a great deal to the film, more growth for the boys ...

One of Joel McCrea's best
After 1945, Joel McCrea, like his friend and contemporary "cowboy" Randy Scott, acted almost exclusively in Westerns. Several of those he made for Universal stand out---CATTLE DRIVE, SADDlE TRAMP, and BORDER RIVER, in particular. But he also made THE OUTRIDERS (MGM), WICHITA (Allied Artists), and several others of very good quality [let's hope these get released on silver disc soon!]. STRANGER ON ...
