DVD: film     DVD:       The Films of Paul Newman (The Verdict/The Hustler/Butch Cassidy)3 reviews Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling 20th Century Fox, 2002 Two of his best films + his most popular one in a bargain package This is like most bargain multi-pack DVD packages: it simply takes three pre-existing DVD's (with the same inserts and plastic cases) and puts them in a boring, cardboard slipcase. The concept isn't exciting, but economically, this is an excellent deal. It would be more expensive to buy these DVD's individually, and there really isn't any filler either. "The Verdict" and "The Hustler" are not ...             Moontide (Fox Film Noir)5 reviews Gertrude Astor, Arthur Ayleswofth 20th Century Fox, 2008 One of the Most Astonishing of All Films Noir Finally Comes to DVD! My first introduction to the great French movie star Jean Gabin came not from his French classics like "Grand Illusion" and "Pepe Le Moko," but from this incredible, haunting overlooked gem -- one of the great lost classics of the 1940s -- which, thanks to Fox DVD, is no longer lost! 1942's "Moontide," one of only two American-made/English-language films in which Gabin ever appeared, is not ...             Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 2 (Born to Kill / Clash by Night / Crossfire / Dillinger (1945) / The ...21 reviews Claire Trevor, Lawrence Tierney Warner Home Video, 2005 Almost as good as Volume 1 The first set of the Film Noir Classic Collection was chock full of great movies, so I was naturally looking forward to the second set. Volume 2, happily, is also a good collection, not quite at the par of the first set but still with five decent-to-great movies. And if they play a little faster and looser with the definition of film noir in this set, that doesn't deprive the collection of its ...             Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 1 (The Asphalt Jungle / Gun Crazy / Murder My Sweet / Out of the Past / ...27 reviews Robert Ryan, Audrey Totter Warner Home Video, 2004 "You're not a detective, you're a slot machine. You'd slit your own throat for six bits plus tax." From Warner Home Video comes the Film Noir Classic Collection, Volume 1, featuring, in no particular order, the following films... The Asphalt Jungle (1950), directed by John Huston and starring Sterling Hayden as a streetwise hooligan hired on as muscle for a big-time heist, caught in the middle when things go seriously sour. The picture, presented in fullscreen (1.33:1), looks very good, ...             Icons of Horror: Hammer Films (2-disc) (The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb / The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll / Scream ...7 reviews Paul Massie - The Two Faces Of Dr. Jekyl, Terence Morgan - The Curse Of The Mummy' SONY PICTURES, 2008 Crappy cheesy cover................. wow! this studio should of took some tips from universal hammer collection,great films which i highly recommend but dissapointing artwork. i guess everything can't be perfect. :(             This Film Is Not Y Rated65 reviews Kirby Dick, Kimberly Peirce IFC Films, 2007 An important film about censorship ... and fun for the whole family This is an absolutely excellent film about one area of censorship we don't hear much about. To think that ALL movies that we see in theaters or for sale in retail chain stores have to be approved by Jack Valenti (now Dan Glickman) and his band of fundamentalists is scary, scary stuff. Not only is this a great subject, the filmmaker also made it very fun. It's a good mix of interviews, funny ...             Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 4 (Act of Violence / Mystery Street / Crime Wave / Decoy / Illegal / The ...24 reviews Ricardo Montalban, Sally Forrest Warner Home Video, 2007 Commentaries are great to have. I love the picture quality of this great DVD set and also the commentaries on all of the movies. These are movies I can watch over and over again and never get tired of. Along with the commentaries they are a pretty good education in film noir.             Pixar Short Films Collection - Volume 167 reviews Pixar Short Films Walt Disney Video, 2007 The evolution of Pixar "Pixar Short Films" is the technical and artistic evolution of Pixar. Hit 'Play All', and understand that you'll start slowly. By the third short, Pixar finds their legs and and accelerates. From a slow start in 1987 to a hilarious piece from 2007, this DVD spans 20 years, showing steady improvement in technology and concept. Each piece stands alone, almost all are brilliant, and all are ...             Road House (Fox Film Noir)15 reviews Ida Lupino, Cornel Wilde 20th Century Fox, 2008 "The New Equipment" That's how Cornel Wilde's Pete Morgan describes Ida Lupino's Lily Stevens, the new headliner at the rural roadhouse of the title this 1948 noir classic that is finally out on DVD. Lupino's Lily is the latest in a long line of women the road house's creepy owner, the memorably named Jefty Robbins (Richard Widmark), has wooed with short-term contracts; all of the previous ones have been disasters, ...             6 Films to Keep You Awake2 reviews 6 Films to Keep You Awake Lions Gate, 2008 I'd say this one's worth owning DVD Active.... The box art for Lionsgate's release of 6 Films to Keep You Awake gives zero indication as to its country of origin. I assumed at first that the set was just six horror films Lionsgate had acquired that they didn't think would survive a standalone release. When I discovered the films were Spanish in origin I assumed that 6 Films to Keep You Awake was the Spanish equivalent to ...             Dangerous Crossing (Fox Film Noir)15 reviews Jeanne Crain, Michael Rennie 20th Century Fox, 2008 A taut, twisty thriller Here's a perfect example of what the studio system could do with a B-movie. Shot in a mere 19 days, utilizing previously built sets, made on a modest budget, this mystery at sea delivers the goods in far more than just workmanlike fashion. Newlywed Ruth Bowman (the lovely Jeanne Crain) & her handsome new husband (a young Carl Betz) board ship for a honeymoon cruise after a whirlwind courtship ...             The Street With No Name (Fox Film Noir)18 reviews Mark Stevens, Richard Widmark 20th Century Fox, 2005 street with no name richard widmark at his BAD BOY SELF.

Six Shooter. Great, a must see.             Landmarks of Early Film, Vol. 117 reviews Image Entertainment, 1997 A glimpse into a vanished world This DVD is very similar to a VHS tape issued by another distributor, Kino Video, "The Movies Begin, Vol. I." That the contents are similar is no surprise, as both are derived from the Film Preservation Associates' archives. The DVD is longer than the VHS tape (117 min. vs. 75 min.), and contains more material. Missing from the DVD is a wonderful sequence found in the VHS: "Moscow in the Snow" ...             House on Telegraph Hill (Fox Film Noir)18 reviews Richard Basehart, Valentina Cortese 20th Century Fox, 2006 tight, taut psychological thriller THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL is one of my favourite noir films. It stars the rarely-mentioned Valentina Cortese; and is set against the backdrop of San Francisco's Coit Tower area. Polish concentration camp inmate Victoria Kowelska (Valentina Cortese) assumes the identity of her best friend, and after the liberation of the Bergen Belsen camp, moves to America. Once settled, she marries into ...             Draculas: 4 Film Favorites - Horror of Dracula / Dracula Has Risen from the Grave / Taste the Blood of ...13 reviews Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing Warner Home Video, 2007 "A blast from the past...." When I was growing up I loved the old Christopher Lee "Dracula" movies. I remember seeing them in a darkened theatre each time, alone, scared but loving every minute of the horror..... I am exceedingly pleased with this four-pack of Lee's "Dracula" movies and would recommend it to anyone.             Black Widow (Fox Film Noir)16 reviews Ginger Rogers, Van Heflin 20th Century Fox, 2008 IN THE BEST WHO-DUNNIT TRADITION Younger viewers would be unfamiliar with the type of story telling which needs a little concentration and attention to plot development. Black Widow leads us into a situation few of us would want to experience. Being involved more and more deeply in something out of our control, finally being suspected of murder. I saw this movie when it was released over 50 years ago and it still holds interest ...             NFL Films - The Dallas Cowboys - The Complete History17 reviews Warner Home Video, 2003 How Bout Them Cowboys! This is a must have for any fan of the Cowboys. The historical disc is excellent, though brief, but the bonus disc is amazing since it contains the 1992 NFC Championship game against the 49ers in its entirety...well, almost, for it does speed up the 3rd quarter, which is odd since the rest is basically play by play, with replays even. I'm a huge fan and loved every minute of it. I would also ...             Daisy Kenyon (Fox Film Noir)22 reviews Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews 20th Century Fox, 2008 Crawford Joan ,Joan. This movie is so Joan Crawford . She was so beautiful . I especially like the men in her life. I liked how different they were ,yet how so a like .This film has everything from child abuse to the triangular love affair.Through it all Daisy remains her strong independent self.             Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 [Blu-ray]29 reviews Walt Disney Pictures, 2007 doesn't get much better To watch Pixar at it's infant stages and watch it grow is amazing,can't wait for volume 2(and future Pixar movies              search for DVDs 2-disc, academy, asphalt, blu-ray, cassidy, classic, collection, complete, cowboys, crossfire, crossing, dangerous, dillinger, dracula, draculas, favorites, gorgon, history, hustler, illegal, jekyll, landmarks, moontide, mystery, nominated, scream, telegraph, tension, verdict, violence DVD:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
