Ray Bradbury is my hero.
Ok I'm a Ray Bradbury fan so get ready for a good positive review of this material. I dunno what it is there's just something about Ray. I like his style. I guess his stories or some of the acting and era these shows were filmed in aren't going to be to everyone's liking or suit their tastes but something about them for me goes along with Ray Bradbury's taste and style. Each episode starts with ...

Do not rent this movie, OWN it.
This Academy Award winning movie is a miracle. Fred Zinnemann's cinematic treatment of the play by Robert Bolt has a quality of luminous economy. The casting is amazing. Every member of the cast is just right, from Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More and Dame Wendy Hiller as Lady Alice all the way down to those cast as the Thames river boatmen, the messengers, the jailers at the Tower and the big ...

A Winner for Yellowbeard fans!!
While not a HUGE fan of Cheech & Chong, thank goodness for them!! As you can see from the cover, I doubt any of us mad keen Yellowbeard fans would of had a hope of EVER getting this on DVD without their popularity in the U.S. Those of you who managed to get a video copy of this (mine was a extremely ex rental copy -- so you can imagine the quality!) If you have a video copy... burn it as this is ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

My all time favorite film
Sydney Pollack died today, and I have yet to see this movie mentioned in any of his obituaries. This is criminal. He produced, in this early film of his, an enduring masterpiece that is a must see for every lover of film, and for every person seeking to know Truth. I first saw this movie on my way to my second tour in Vietnam. It was the only movie showing at the post theater and I never ...

Superman - The Movie

Vass Anderson, Harry Andrews

Warner Home Video, 2001

Original and Still the Best
Even if you compare this movie to today's superhero movies such as Iron Man or The Dark Knight, you would enjoy this movie more. There is a more human element to this and this is in part due to great writers and phenomenal actors. The problem with most superhero movies is they have a lead character that is quite muscle-bound and finding such an actor that can also act is not a common ...

Alec Guinness in the persona of Major Jock Sinclair represents the former, and John Mills represents the latter in role of Lt. Colonel Basil Barrow, who is sent to replace Sinclair as permanent Colonel of a Scottish battalion. Sinclair is a popular former (bag-) Pipe Major who has ...

St. Patrick: The Irish Legend

15 reviews
Patrick Bergin, Luke Griffin

SHANACHIE, 2000

A lot to offer in this time and culture
I think this movie was a great beginning and hopefully a forerunner to a definitive movie on this saint, so well "known about," yet so little known. Setting aside the the cheesy presentation of his legendary miracles (some of them do resemble biblical accounts of the miracles of the prophet Elijah), the movie conveyed passion for the spread of the faith and the desparate state of people ...

Weird, creepy film builds dread and disorientation as we experience madness right alongside the central character. Altman's choice of rustic Irish setting is ideal, as cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond uses its dank, remote quality to accentuate Cathryn's building isolation and paranoia. The movie's bleak, opaque quality will not be to all tastes, but psychological horror fans should pounce. York ...

Jane errored....
As much as I am pleased I finally found George C. Scott's version of this novel/movie, I am so unhappy with the quality of editing and the horrendous film quality of this DVD! I find it hard to believe someone released it as it is! I saw the original version on TV years ago. I have never been able to forget it! The acting is first class, the music is to die for, (I have the LP for the sound ...

The Silent Partner

Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer

Lions Gate, 2007

One of the best movies you've never heard of.
I remember seeing this movie back in 1980 on HBO and was so surprised that I had not recalled seeing it on the theatre marquee, or in fact never even heard anything about it. This movie is probably one of the most underrated, under publicized and best movies one could possibly stumble upon. The Silent Partner has it all, suspense, intrigue and drama all wrapped up in a cast of well thought ...
