A Movie Everyone Should See
I lived through the Missiles of October. It is still amazing and truly frightening to see how close we came to nuclear war. No Senator, Congressional Rep, candidate for President, or informed voter should miss this film. I'd seen it on TV, then bought the video. The DVD makes the scenes even more immediate. All the acting is superb. Want to know why we need a President who can THINK? This is ...

Class of 1999

2 reviews
Lee Arenberg, Linda Burden-Williams

Lions Gate, 2008

Almost Time For The Ten Year Reunion
If you were to take Mad Max, The Terminator, The Warriors and Lean On Me, and mix them in a blender, you'd get Class of 1999. It was directed by Mark Lester who made the excellent Class of 1984. This movie is sometimes considered a sequel to that film, but it isn't. Both movies have high schools and violent gangs, but that's where all comparisons end. In the near future of 1999, violent ...

American History X

651 reviews
Edward Furlong, Beverly D'Angelo

New Line Home Video, 1999

Best Movie On Racism
American History X doesn't use the same broad elements that many films of this kind often do. It doesn't "preach to the converted". It goes into some of the main reasons for prejudice. It doesn't ignore the fact that affirmative action has given us some bad side-effects. It doesn't ignore that black people too, can be racist. It doesn't ignore statistics. It puts all these points out there, ...

Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams

Paris Chong, Shelby Chong

Sony Pictures, 2006

4 1/2 STARS FOR THIS CLASSIC AND LAST GREAT C&C FILM!
This is another impressive installment in the Cheech & Chong movies. This is the third movie in the series and like the others I saw them all at the theater when released. Great stoners comedies don't come around to often! This DVD could use an up grade like all the others.

Escape From L.A.

105 reviews
Kurt Russell, A.J. Langer

Paramount, 1998

A GREAT CULT CLASSIC MOVIE!
This movie follows Escape from New York, and it's just great. It's not meant to be taken too seriously. There are subtle jokes throughout the movie. A lot of it is tongue in cheek. So enjoy it for what it is. My favorite line is "This is LA, and this ****ing city can kill anyone!" There will be no Oscars, no awards given out for this movie... it's just mindless entertainment. You can tell Kurt ...

Horror 250 Movie Pack

Mill Creek Entertainment, 2007

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 ...

The New Centurions

12 reviews
George C. Scott, Stacy Keach

Sony Pictures, 2008

Excellent Police Drama
If you like police movies, you'll love this one. Stacy Keach and Erik Estrada (CHiPs, in one of his first movies) are graduates of the police academy as they begin their careers within the police department. Of special interest is the relationship between Keach and George C. Scott (a seasoned veteran looking forward to retirement). This is a true-to-life story of cops and their daily struggles ...

Jesus of Nazareth

358 reviews
Robert Powell, Anne Bancroft

Lions Gate, 2002

Brilliant
Very nice interpretation of the story of Christ's life. The blue eyes of actor Robert Powell is bright, dense and expresses both compassion and suffering borne by the Passion that contributes to the brightness of this beautiful film. "Jesus of Nazareth" has converted one of my fellow class mate. I recommend it with that of "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

27 reviews
Alan Arkin, Sondra Locke

Warner Home Video, 2008

One Of My TopTen Favorites of all time
Arkin is brilliant. He actually learned to sign for this film, and his portrayal of a deaf-mute is incredible. There are several different stories within this film whose characters all come together at the end. The most riveting performance of all is given by Cicely Tyson who plays the daughter of a local doctor. Arkin's character, John Singer is responsible for breaking down a lifetime of ...

The Blackbeard DVD was great!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to watch it again!

Industrial Ent, 2008

Pia on DVD!
I'm gonna get a lot of heat for this, but I'm a fan of Pia Zadora. I don't think she's the greatest actress or personality or even singer, but there's something about her that makes me giggle. Sure, she's been in a lot of questionable movies (to my count, her husband financed four of them - BUTTERFLY, FAKE-OUT, THE LONELY LADY, and VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS), but she seems to have a wicked sense ...

Monster of the Milky Way
This is just terrific in every way. The provider was swift and professional and the video itself is amazing. The NOVA group continues to take complex ideas and concepts easier for the lay person to understand. Truly GREAT.

Lightning: Fire From the Sky

Stacy Keach, John Schneider

Direct Source Label, 2005

Shockingly Great Flick!
I like disaster films and bought this on a lark, but I was sure surprised at how good this TV film is! It struck me that the acting is very good and the two teens are superb. All-in-all well worth the money and time to watch and enjoy a good for the whole family film. Bolt out now and buy this! (All puns intended!)

Armed and Dangerous

John Candy, Eugene Levy

Sony Pictures, 2002

Crazy movie
This movie is about as hysterical as you can get. The parody of armed guards is hysterical but frightening. Everything is funny in this movie and Meg Ryan is absolutely gorgeous.

Batman - Mask of the Phantasm (Keepcase)

193 reviews
Kevin Conroy, Dana Delany

Warner Bros. Pictures, 2005

One of Batman's Greatest Films!
Batman is being blamed for the mysterious murders of Gotham City mobsters just as his old flame returns to town, bringing back strong memories and thoughts of a normal life that could have been. The killer is actually a masked figure called "The Phantasm", and things become more complicated when a terrified crime boss turns to the Joker for help in dealing with the vigilante executioner. ...

The Blue and the Gray (The Complete Miniseries)

Stacy Keach, John Hammond (IV)

Sony Pictures, 2001

The Complete Miniseries is the one you want
I first saw the complete miniseries in stores in 2001 when the set came out. The thing that really caught my intrest about it was the fact that it was based on the works of Bruce Catton. This had me returning to look at it, trying to decide if I wanted to spend the money (and believe me, I didn't really have enough money to spend on myself for what this cost at that time). Well, things got ...

The Parallax View

Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn

Paramount, 1999

This review has been censored for your safety
I recall walking from the theater when this film was first released, determining that I would actively seek out every subsequent film the director Alan Pakula would make. From the understated fear generated from atop the Seattle Space Needle in the opening to the beautifully evocative shot of the investigatory panel (which still looks eerily like a burnished coffin to me before the camera ...

Honeydripper

4 reviews
Vondie Curtis-Hall, Charles S. Dutton

Universal Studios, 2008

Excellent
Honeydripper is probably one of the best movies I've seen in the last year or so, besides the Great Debaters. Danny Glover gives a great performance of a bar/club owner who has to compete with the new sounds of the day, rock & roll, as opposed to the blues singing that was the prominent popular music along with Jazz for so many years. It's set in the south and portrays things the way they were ...

The Long Riders

53 reviews
David Carradine, Keith Carradine

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great, realistic atmospheric Western
"The Long Riders" is one of the best Westerns ever made. It concerns one specific facet of the West treated now in only three other films, all of which concern the post-Civil War careers of the Missouri riders: those men and boys who threw in their hands with Bloody Bill Anderson, William Quantrill, Archie Clements and other guerrilla leaders in response to the horrific depredations of the ...
