Military injustice
This is an oft-times overlooked film in the Kubrick canon, and that's something that is unfortunate. At the base, the story is a satire on injustice in the military / injustice in war. It takes on a number of themes all at once, and does so gracefully without ending up looking like a rudderless plot. Kirk Douglas plays a French colonel (Dax) in World War I. He is one of the few officers in ...

A memory from the past
I think I was about 15 when I saw this on TV and for the past 40 years wanted to see it again. It was quirky, but I was so glad to be able to see it. There are several movies that I hope are brought back, just because they were enjoyable.

Excellent Blu package, includes a full-length 'The Next Mission' in DVD resolution as a bonus
The Dozen is one of the best 'guy' flicks ever made with 'Prison Break' probably the only contemporary challenge that may actually surpass it. [Well, they are both on available on Blu so we can enjoy them both now :)] The plot is very simple and, for a classic such as this one, I'm not sure it's worth discussing it. Okay: Lee Marvin prepares a dozen convicts of the worst kind for a mission ...

Kiss Me Deadly is Film Noir at Its Best.
American film director Robert Aldrich (1918-1983) is synonymous with great films like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), and The Dirty Dozen (1967). Based on the Mickey Spillane pulp mystery bestseller of the same name, Aldrich's 1955 film noir classic, Kiss Me Deadly, stars Ralph Meeker as lowlife Los Angeles gumshoe, Mike Hammer, on a quest for ...

LOVE IT!
This movie duo asks the question, "What if?!" and does it in a way that will please any supernatural genre lover. It did and still does deliver what TV was supposed to do; allow us a needed escape from "reality" for a while.

If you love Al Capone movies I promise you,you will love this one,for it to be a remake the coloring is beautiful and very historical.

A Great Value for Those Who Just Want to Watch the Movies!
I think pretty much all the previous reviewers, as well as myself, agree that both these movies are great war flicks. I saw them both when they were originally released in the theatre and thoroughly enjoyed them. For whatever reason I had never gotten around to buying the movies when they were released on DVD. So when my daughter gave this "Double-Feature" set to me for Christmas I was thrilled. ...

Pure entertainment
From the time I saw Brannigan in the theaters as a kid, through a number of chances to watch it again over the years, it has been one of my favorite movies. I grew up with the crime dramas of the 1970s, had little patience for Westerns, and am sorry John Wayne had so little time left to make detective movies. His other police drama, McQ, was trying so hard to imitate other "gritty" characters and ...

Gregory Peck, Tuesday Weld

Sony Pictures, 2006

Great movie! Unusual, character-driven narrative. Brilliant acting.
I don't know what Amazon has against this film. This was another spur of the moment buy, and again I wasn't disappointed. The acting is excellent--everyone is terrific in their role, especially Weld and Peck, who each play off the other's hidden agenda quite well. They're both manipulative and decitful, but she's the more "honest" in only trying to help her family. On the other hand, Peck's ...

if you liked Arlington Road...
Like ARLINGTON ROAD (1999), this film is very disturbing b/c it deals with a very real situation and doesn't have a positive ending. Ethically, I don't think films like this SHOULD end positively, b/c you're likely to think "everything's OK", and thus no lesson is learned, and no action will be taken to keep stuff like this from happening. The viewer is left comforted and pampered and those ...

History, and movie packs, tend to repeat
Half of the COMBAT 20 MOVIE PACK is available on MILL CREEK's MISSION VICTORY set. The rest (and some of that first 10) are on their HEROES OF WAR 10 PACK and WAR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK. Why then the necessity for duplication? This is already available product with a different count and cover art-- altogether disappointing for those of us hoping to see something new from MCE. In all fairness ...

the detective
as the tough cynical detective frank sinatra shines. he solves the case and watches as the guilty man is put to death. later his world is shaken to its core as he uncovers evidence that shows he was wrong and has sent an innocent man to his death. can he now base his life and his rising career on a lie? the answer is as shocking as the question. a must see movie.

Gallery of half-familiar faces
You don't hear much about this Something Weird "Angry 70s" double feature. It's a queer duck among the company's releases, the main point of reference being that David F. Friedman produced these films in the early 1970s. They were a response to the new "hardcore" pornography that was making Friedman's "soft" porn obsolete. He spent more money, rounded up some decent actors and put out these ...

EXCELLENT!!!
I've been searching for this movie on DVD and finally it's here. I love old school horror since I was a kid, even if the acting is bad I still love it. The first thing I did when I recieved this movie was throw a Drive-inn Style party At my home plus showed other movies and had a blast. Thank you for being prompt and the DVD in good condition

Lost masterpiece
In this "Special Edition" DVD you see just how hard and how dedicated all involved were to making trhis movie. A film I consider far ahead of its time and in the same vein to close to the JFK death for most to watrch comfortably. All involved are superior and the writing is cutting edge even by todays standards.
