DVD: Robert Burton (III) ...     DVD:       The Spy Who Came in from the Cold53 reviews Richard Burton, Claire Bloom Paramount, 2004 Gripping Cold War Intrigue I remember when this movie was first released, a friend saw it and afterward complained bitterly about how boring it was. This was around 1965 and he was expecting something more along the lines of James Bond, Our Man Flint, Matt Helm or any of the other James Bond knockoffs going around back then. But "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" was totally different. No flashy fantasy picture here; ...             Frank Herbert's Dune (Sci-Fi TV Miniseries) (Special Edition Director's Cut) (3-Disc DVD Set)538 reviews William Hurt, Alec Newman Artisan Home Entertainment, 2002 An excellent science fiction class. Dune is an accurate re-telling of the original story written by Frank Herbert. In some ways, it is more accurate than the earlier film directed in the 1970's. Dune is unlike many other science-fiction thrillers in its lack of extra-terrestrial alien species; most of the "alien" life in the film presents itself in the form of gargantuan, sand-burrowing worms, or perhaps as the spice-evolved ...             Lassie - 50th Anniversary TV Collection15 reviews Florence Lake, Hugh Reilly Classic Media, 2004 A Great collection BUT... This is a great collection of the earlier lassie series aired from 1954 to 1974 but it's just that. In 1954 lassie aired for 20 seasons up to 1974 and had more than...600 episodes and in this set we only get...25 of them ? What we need is A MEGA DVD LASSIE BOX SET which will have: 1) ALL 7 LASSIE ORIGINAL MOVIES CREATED FROM 1943 TO 1951 2) ALL 20 ORIGINAL SEASONS OF LASSIE WHICH AIRED ...             Frank Herbert's Dune (TV Miniseries)538 reviews William Hurt, Alec Newman Live / Artisan, 2001 An excellent science fiction class.

What can I say, I'm bias, why... not because this was another of those "black" films everyone thought should be made but because I actually had a small bit part in it. Yep, stood out there in the cold of Platte City (MO), with about 16 other extras. Saw the open call for extras on the bulletin board at school and answered the call. Hey, no money, no true fame, but at least my segment didn't ...             Trilogy of Terror131 reviews Karen Black, Robert Burton (III) Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999 Still Fabulously Terrorizing! What A Great Blast from TV Past! One late night in 1977 my sister and I were watching the late night horror movie on Detroit's local ABC station WXYZ. As suspense/horror/mystery fans, we had seen almost all the classic and features from the kitchy "Wood" movies and Hammer horrors to the slasher films that were reaching a fever pitch about then. But of all the movies we had seen up to that date, nothing scared us two teenage ...             Trilogy of Terror131 reviews Karen Black, Robert Burton (III) Dark Sky Films, 2006 Still Fabulously Terrorizing!

Jackson, Milla Jovovich Sony Pictures, 2003 THRILLING PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPER THAT SPREADS ITSELF THIN The script pecks in every conceivable direction, and a few inconceivable ones, but surely not as terribly as the reviews would suggest. It held my attention throughout its winded course. The suspense scenes are fabulously constructed, revolving around universally appealing themes -- bank heist, kidnapping, layered romance, betrayal, and above all, some fabulous twists. Part of the ...             Roots (Four-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition)62 reviews Maya Angelou, Ji-Tu Cumbuka Warner Home Video, 2007 A Really Great Story! This miniseries is well worth watching again or for the first time if you never have. It is very moving and tells the story of slavery from the point of view of the slaves. Beginning with Alex Haley's book, which is wonderful in itself, this miniseries is still the most popular show to have ever aired on TV. It might take some getting used to because of the difference in TV production values ...             Roots85 reviews Maya Angelou, Ji-Tu Cumbuka Warner Home Video, 2002 Classic This product arrive in excellent condition for a Used item. The disc are clean without scratches and there is no skipping or picture loss. This is a classic film that can be difficult to watch but it is important piece of film. The actor list in this mini-series is absolutey phenomenal. To bad this is only shown on television during Black History Month.

Now this is a very entertaining mini-series. The time was taken to explain more instead of just implying things and making you guess what they are talking about. Not using such spectacular sets forced then to do some fairly good acting to make up for that. The story ...             Watch Me7 reviews Jennifer Burton, Robert Medford Image Entertainment, 1999 Awesome Film The film features some really gorgeous, moody cinematography. It is a guilty pleasure. The story is intriguing, diabolical and multi-faceted. The different characters are interesting. I love this film.             The House on Turk Street [Region 2]13 reviews Samuel L.

However, David Lynch has in fact successfully managed to summarize not only the basic story concept, but accurately captured the essence and spirit of the characters, the settings, and general atmosphere as depicted in Frank Herbert's most excellent book. The well-crafted soundtrack also greatly enhances ...             Blood of the Zombie4 reviews John MacKay, Linda Ormond Shriek Show, 2003 Another Long Lost Gem on DVD Shriek Show Video has come up with a real rare flick this time. It is Barry Mahon's long lost gem "Blood Of The Zombie" aka "The Dead One." A very interesting story about a woman who brings back to life a rotting zombie to do her bidding.
