Universal's Wolfman-The Monster Everbody Loved
Universal's Wolf Man is one of the three classic horrors from that great movie studio. Although few people consider Lon Chaney Jr. a superior actor, he himself used to boast "The Wolf Man was my baby". As for me I always considered the Wolf Man my personal favorite. Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man are almost universally admired as the original films of the classic horror series. From ...

An 'Ultimate' Edition that Lives Up to It's Name!
When a film has been available on DVD in a number of editions for a number of years, as "High Noon" has, a new edition had better be pretty impressive to justify shelling out more money. "High Noon (Two-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition)" is more than pretty impressive...it is superb! First off, the print is about as close to perfect as you'll ever find, with picture and sound vastly ...

The Art of Leadership
A great story on the type of man who can lead, and the many types of men who cannot. A previous reviewer mentioned Robert Ryan as one of the actors in this film. Actually, he's not in it.

Worth Getting for Two Classic Martin & Lewis Movies
This set has the two best Martin & Lewis films--You're Never Too Young and Living It Up. The price of the set is worth it for these two alone. You're Never Too Young is the team's best film, one that can be watched over and over again, as Jerry plays a little boy who is obviously much bigger than he claims! Musical numbers are great, especially the marching song. Add a jewel mystery and an ...

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 ...

"Soon the moon will be out and I'll turn into a wolf." "You and 20 million other guys!"
Before GHOSTBUSTERS there was ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN! The last harrah for the original Universal monsters -- not to be seen until the Hammer revival a decade later. Amazingly, despite his identification with Count Dracula, Lugosi only played the character in the 1931 original and this movie. Glenn Strange (best remembered as the bartender of the Long Branch in the tv series ...

Spider kid, spider kid...does whatever a spider kid does
It's campy...a little trampy It's classic...a little drastic There's a sexy little vibe and a cannibal tribe plus a bit of inbreeding people used for feeding There's a degenerative disease that makes the brain start to squeeze It stars Chaney & Haig I don't mean to be vague But those guys rule So don't be a fool just buy this today that's all I have to tell you

THE BEST "Novel adaption" film I have ever seen!
I have watched over 600 classic films in my study and enjoyment of classic film. I have watched many films made from a novel--Anna Karenina, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, A Farewell to Arms, etc. It seems there is always something missing in movies adapted from a novel...a film cannot always grasp the depth and "mind thoughts" of a book, for a book is more for the mind and the reader's own inner ...

Some details and positive comments for 'House of Frankenstein'
I just wanted to drop in here and express my sincere enthusiasm for "House of Frankenstein," which is one of the two films on this DVD. Director Erle (not a typo!) C. Kenton went all out on this 1944 black-and-white film to present a Frankenstein movie which all horror fans could embrace, regardless of their preference for a particular monster. Here, we get Dracula (John Carradine), Lawrence ...

Classic of the genre
When it comes to the horror genre you'll be hard pressed to find a studio with a greater legacy than Universal. Without Universal who knows where our beloved genre would be. While Universal has produced many classics it really is their Monster movies they'll always be remembered for. The Wolf Man proved to be yet another winner for the studio. While not the first werewolf movie, The Wolf Man is ...

The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Ultimate Edition)

Lon Chaney, Patsy Ruth Miller

Image Entertainment, 2007

A masterwork all the way through!
The acclaimed and renowned actor of the silent era - Lon Chaney - shows us why he was named "Man of thousand faces" . This performance may be not labelled but extraordinary and outstanding. The first version of Victor Hugo's novel about the tortured hunchback who dwells within the sanctuary of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Ridiculed, exploited he is the freak of Paris, finds his bliss ...

The Mistakes on the Midnite Movies DVD Below. (Haunted Palace Based on Lovecraft not Poe)
The Midnite Movies DVDs are great. They provide us with some great classics in horror at a fair price (as long as they stay in print) and a lot of the times you get two great movies on one disc as seen here. The quality is usually great as well. However from my experience Midnite Movies are famous for mistakes and misprints on the back of their DVDs. I don't mind, it's kind of like when your ...

CLASSIC FILM STILL HOLDS UP WELL! 4 1/2 STARS!
'The Defiant Ones' is a classic film that deals with racism, survival and loyalty. Two prisoners, one black and one white are forced to work together to survive when a prison transport vehicle crashes. The two convicts who are chained together have to put their differences aside to stay ahead of the lawmen who want to put them back behind bars. Poitier and Curtis are in top form in this ...

Definitive edition of an influential classic
The Phantom of the Opera - The Ultimate Edition (1925 Original Version and 1929 Restored Version) When buying silent movies, it really is true: you shouldn't be fooled by cheap imitations. It's easy for fly-by-night companies to release cheap copies of copyright-free films, but what do you get? You get terrible visual quality, no score (or worse, a dreadful score composed of random ...

enjoyable well balanced western
This probably has the best balance of any of Scott's westerns of a complicated plot, pleny of action and the humor of Gabby Hayes and that little girl who keeps popping up. A very enjoyable story. Gabby was in the driver's seat in the opening scene and in the spotlight in the closing scene. Too bad he wasn't in more of Scott's best films to lighten up Scott's stoicism. It's interesting that the ...

Thinking is the best way to travel
Let's get the "down side" out of the way immediately: Video quality on budget-priced DVD sets is not always suitable for hi-def or big screen TVs. These discs work best on standard size tube sets. Audio levels from this manufacturer have in the past been somewhat low-- yet not unlistenable if you have a decent sound system. And now the "up side": A hundred unusual selections for 30 ...

"SON" ONE OF THE GREATEST
All hail the presence of two of horror films greatest, Bela Lagosi and Boris Karloff. Karloff's last film as the man-machine-beast is again at his best when he moans and groans his way from infantile-innocent to indestructible-angry giant. You knew when the monster befriends the boy that harm was soon to come for being involved with the lad at all. This film ends the way the original film and ...
