My daughter loved the video. She has all twelve of the books in the series and couldn't wait to see the movie. The values and lessons in the story are just another way to re-enforce positive behavior. I would buy all of them if there were more!

Glenn Ford at his best
This is an excellent WWII movie. However, the quality of this Chinese recording is low, as if it were copied from a VHS (probably was).

I will keep my VHS copy and wait for a better DVD version.

Trudging For Godot
I was immediately struck by images of Samuel Beckett plays while watching this film. Those who criticize its slow pace and long periods of inaction are missing quite a bit of artistry. The editing is first-rate, especially near the end when Iranian soldiers open fire in two different scenes. Like Beckett, Ms. Makhmalbaf focuses upon the plight of the poverty-stricken, whose lives spin in ...

Then there is The Americanization of Emily with a script ...

My Many Colored Days... outstanding!!!
An absolute perfect marriage of music, text and animation. Richard Einhorn's musical setting of this wonderful Dr. Seuss story is pure genious! This musical story takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It's a must for any serious Seuss collector!

"DO YOU LIKE SWING"? A CLASSIC....... OH DADDY O!
Blackboard Jungle is an interesting film that features Glen Ford and some young new talent that would find bigger fame in later years. Sidney Poitier,Vic Marrow and Jamie Farr(Jameel Farrah then) all play teens in this tale of juvenile delinquents in a lower class school that Ford comes to teach in. Still holds up well considering it's age. Poitier would later do "To Sir With Love" and switch ...
