A thrilling horror story
I bought this movie because I loved watching Hugh Jackman in the X-Men movie. I'm also a horror movie fan. This was an excellent, frightening, fast-paced movie. The special effects were fantastic. The extras were well-appreciated: a tour of Dracula's castle, the Legend of Van Helsing, Bringing the Monsters to life. I'm an amateur graphic artist, so I appreciate such insights into how ...

Persuasion

A charming story!
Persuasion is a wonderful story. Who hasn't wanted to go back and rekindle a romance that was prematurely cut short by the wrong advice of friends? This is an excellent verion of Persuasion. The actors are well cast and very likeable. Your heart breaks for Anne who listened to bad advice and did not make her own choice in love and marry Wentworth the first time he proposed. It just shows you ...

Two Stories Stories for the Price of One, PLUS Great Production
Preface: Although I have previously reviewed BBC's "The Chronicles of Narnia" as a series (sometime ago now), I will still be reviewing each installment individually, in order to give them all the detailed, and attentive critique they deserve. Part 2: Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. With this second installment, a joint dramatization of two more of the seven chronicles, we gt ...

Don't Buy the American DVD - Too Many Cuts/Edits
I saw the full length version and it is SO much better than the butchered USA DVD version. IMHO, the editing wrecked the movie. Sci Fi Channel screens it sometimes, but of course, just to irk fans, it usually winds up screening at 2:00 am! But it was worth staying up late just to see the unedited version. The plot is much better if you can see the unedited European version. I wish Amazon ...

The Nazis - A Warning from History

Pack a lunch and pay attention
Set aside an entire day, pack a lunch and pay attention. Not only is there amazing footage in this film that I haven't seen anywhere else, but the attention to detail is astonishing. It's painful history, so be prepared. There is more about Hitler and the Nazis and the SS than there is about the holocaust, which is not the point of this presentation. What is the point are the politics of Hitler ...

Human nature against New inventions.
As a veteran Airman ( I used to be a Combat Pilot for over 40 years ) and today the President of an Avionics Development and Production Company, I was exposed time and again to bureaucratic friction which works against any new invention. During my life time ( I am now 65 years old ) I have learnt that this phenomenom repeats itself through mankind history. It seams that the only thing that has ...

Merchant Ivory, 2005

Classic - Must See!!
This is one of my favorite films, truly a classic film. Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins, and Helena Bonham Carter, and Vanessa Redgrave do an outstanding job, as always. The story is interesting and it makes one think of how this would have indeed been quite a scandal back during this time! I love the costumes....and the houses are amazing, all of them from the townhouses in London to Howards ...

Auschwitz - Inside the Nazi State

Samuel West, Gordon Newell (II)

BBC Warner, 2005

A riveting series that explores Auschwitz and the Nazi implementation of the Final Solution
Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State makes for compelling viewing. It is divided into 6 chapters. The first chapter is titled "Surprising Beginnings" which basically introduces us to the origins of Auschwitz and how it was not initially designated as an extermination camp for Jews, but basically to house Polish political prisoners and later Russian POWs. In fact, the first gassing experiments in the ...

Incredibly Useful Disc
This disk works great! It's a completely leak-proof, stylish coaster. I can use it as a mirror for gussying up on the go. I threw it like a frisbee for my dog and the scamp loves it. I put it in my CD player so the slot doesn't gather dust when I'm away. The movie wasn't good though.

Helped to jumpstart the Indie Rennaisance
How my ratings work: 5 - I really liked/loved it 4 - I liked it/really liked it 3 - Could've been better/worth a look 2 - Just didn't live up to the potential 1 - Simply aweful Richard Linklater's Slacker is a landmark film in that it has inspired future filmmakers like Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, etc) and was part of the Indipendent Film Rennaisance of the 80's and 90's. For me ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

The Strange Course of True Love
At first the temptation is to see the movie's focus on Carrington's life as a clever ploy to do a biography of her lover, the far more famous Lytton Strachey, but in the end, the movie is really about Carrington. Like Lytton, she is emotionally unusual. She waits until her mid-twenties to lose her virginity, and when she does, she finds she is subject to the unbridled passions of every ...

Barry Bostwick, Jason Alexander

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Great sequel.
I like this particular Disney sequel a lot--and that's not a commonly stated thing. Lars and Little Lightning are easily two of the best newer Disney characters. And the entire film is well-made and enjoyable. However, my one issue with the movie is that Lightning the pembroke corgi is made out, just a little bit, to be a sort of 'bad guy.' He isn't in the least. He didn't start out as a ...

Upper Class Revolutionaries
This fine BBC docudrama depicts the lives of the four Cambridge spies from their university days, when they were recruited to do espionage work for the Soviet Union, through the defections of two of the four some twenty years later. Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Guy Burgess, and Donald Maclean were members of Britain's upper class elite. From prominent, well connected families, they were educated ...
