FINALLY Another Film Noir Set From Warners
While I can't vouch for any of the movies in this set I'm sure they're up to the usual Warners standard. The last set had 10 films all with commentary. The below description is taken from Turner Classic Movies website and does not list all of the special features but does give a description of the films (all are in glorious black & white): Cornered (1945): From England to continental Europe ...

2001: A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]

A MONOLITH OF A MOVIE!
This is not just a movie. This is a mind-altering experience. I saw 2001 as a fifteen year old when it was re-released in the winter of '76 and I remember leaving the theater not quite sure what to think of it but convinced it would have a tremendous impact on my life. And, indeed, as with the reappearing monolith, each time I watch the film (unfortunately, not in the spacious, magical dark of ...

"May I please have my gun now?"
This film is not a comedy but I laugh hard most of the way through it. It's so American. There's so much b.s. to wade through and Sam Spade is better at cutting through it than I am. And I've seen this film more than once. I've seen it off and on since I was a kid, with many years spaced in between. My most recent viewing was the most satisfying yet. If I could make one movie, it would be this ...

The Red Shoes (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

As I've grown older, I appreciate this movie more and more
When I first saw The Red Shoes, as a ballet-obsessed college student, I thought it was relentlessly corny, cliché-ridden, bombastic and kitschy, although I loved the glimpses of the old-school Ballets Russes. Seeing it many years later, I appreciated the beautiful special effects, made years before all you needed was a keyboard and a mouse. Seeing it a month ago, I've come to agree with those who ...

Spider Scene?
Anyone know if the blu-ray will contain the REAL footage of the "spider scene"? Or is it the recreation? Also, what "new scenes never before seen" do they mean? This could be either really great or just the DVD put on BD. Any info?

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre [Blu-ray]

Humphrey Bogart

Warner Home Video, 2010

Sierra Madre
Bloody brilliant. A true tale of pure greed and the test of friendship. Bogart was brilliant in his role of Dobbs. The two disc dvd is a great package and contains some great special features. The video quality is outstanding and looks great on dvd. This is one classic film you do not want to miss. We don't need no stinking badges!

Thriller: The Complete Series

IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT, 2010

the dvd "event" of the season
It will be interesting for me to see how this exceptional, beautifully made and quite subtle gothic horror tv series will be accepted by modern audiences, soaked as they are by the outlandish, over-the-top, ludicrously violent horror films that have been gracing our screens of late. Will they be so jaded by what has been flung at them these past thirty years that they will no longer be able to ...

Warner Home Video, 2010

I always loved Robbie
Leslie Nielsen before he took on comedy. Walter Pigeon is most believable as the villain. You have to have this one in your collection if for no other reason than Robbie the robot! Imagine a robot that can produce everything from a ball gown to 100 proof booze-obviously what killed the Krell!

How do you get to wonderland?
For all my reviews visit my website [...] I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movie unless otherwise stated. Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review. Well, the answer to that question, is have a child, or be a child. They say "Over the Hill." Well, that's just a child's way of putting it like ...

Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan

Warner Home Video, 2010

A cult war movie!
Impressive, absorbing and fundamental film during the Nazi take over in Norway. Lewis Milestone was a great director but when he decided to make a war movie something happened. He was provided by a special spell touch. It's happens the same when John Ford made a Western or Hitchcock a suspense picture. He was possessed by an inner call . There is a Spanish term previously used by Federico García ...

To Kill a Mockingbird (Collector's Edition)

Gregory Peck, John Megna

Universal Studios, 1998

Only in America!
It is revealing to look at the archival movie posters included in this edition of "To Kill a Mockingbird". Watching the film last night (on the 50th anniversary of the publication of the novel), I was intrigued by both the naivete of the film (and the novel), and its frankness and boldness coming at the time of the burgeoning civil rights movement in this country. But the movie posters - which ...

Black Narcissus (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

75 reviews
Deborah Kerr, Flora Robson

Criterion Collection, 2010

A stunning visual feast heavy with symbolic meaning
Above all, this is beautifully shot picture where every frame is carefully composed ... and the results are nothing short of amazing. Usually, technicolour films tend to come off as oversaturated and garish, but the colour here is carefully controlled to great effect. Every shot is mesmerizing and leaden with symbolic meaning. Ultimately, this film is about spiritual ideals versus the reality of ...

AFRICAN QUEEN Sails At Last!
After many years, when almost everything else under the sun has been released, John Huston's version of the C.S. Forester book is here to delight us once again with its wit, its sense of adventure, its grandness. Watching it, one realizes that they will never make another picture like eve again - both a statement of praise to a time long-lost and an indictment our own artistic desert. If you ...

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this movie immensely. You think you've seen it all before. That's true, but it takes on a new meaning each time you watch it as you evolve!

Our Beloved Mary Poppins!
Mary Poppins (45th Anniversary Special Edition) It was a joy to have my six year old grandson put down his Guns, Light Sabers, and Star Wars Battle gear for a while to actually sit down and watch Mary Poppins with his little sister and I. He laughed and sang right along with us. I also noticed how calm and happy he was afterward.

The Dick Van Dyke Show - The Complete Series

Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore

Image Entertainment, 2005

One of the Best Sitcoms Ever
The Dick Van Dyke show is a classic. My latest purchase of the series was a gift for my son so he won't borrow my set of Dick Van Dyke DVD's. He's only 28 and loves the show as much as I do. The humor is subtle and very funny, and the husband/wife relationship between Rob and Laura is believable and relatable. I've seen the episodes many times and know what they are going to say next, but I ...

The Adventures of Robin Hood [Blu-ray]

300 reviews
Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland

Warner Home Video, 2008

A Classic on Blu-Ray
First of all I will only echo the other reviewers and say that this is a Hollywood Classic. It is one of the best adventure escapist films ever made. The Blu-Ray edition looks wonderful, has a ton of extras, some more interesting than others. My only complaint is that the film is in monorual sound or 1.0 . Other than that I love this disc. At its low price it is a steal, and a must have for ...
