Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2007

Listen To Michael Caine...
At the beginning of THE PRESTIGE, Michael Caine asks us an important question, then tells us the three main stages of a magic trick. This is very important, as the rest of the movie is set up in these stages, while retaining an atmosphere of suspense and mystery. The symbolism of the canaries is crucial, in that they represent the living "pledge". Where do they go when they disappear? What ...

Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti

20th Century Fox, 2007

Excellent atmospheric historical romance
Eward Norton gives a wonderfully understated performance in this historical romance set in Vienna at the turn of the century. He plays a marvelous magician who has fallen in love with a daughter of the aristocracy intended for marriage to the nasty megalomaniac Crown Prince who regards her as a ripe fruit worth picking and then throwing away. How will he win her? By magic obviously. Norton is ...

Death Defying Acts

Weinstein Company, 2008

A Satisfying Mixture of Fact Embellished with Fiction
Gillian Armstrong makes fine movies: she is a director who knows how to tell stories and enhance what appears on the surface to be reality with a healthy dose of fantasy. Her sense of pacing and image creation adds substance to her tales that sometimes border on bizarre. DEATH DEFYING ACTS uses the character of Harry Houdini as the stimulus of to tell a story about the folk of Edinburgh, ...

Esoteric, transcendental, spiritual fable
This movie has really grown on me. I liked it when I first saw it, but didn't really see it as the classic it appeared to want to be. But, as with many great movies, it is deceptively better than it first appears to be. The movie deals with loss, grief, change, acceptance, and the continuity of life. These themes are not dealt with head-on...they are just woven into the plot, lightened up ...

20th Century Fox, 2008

Nice set of excellent, rare old films!
The title of this attractive set of three DVDs might be a little misleading because none of the three movies could be described as horror by today's definition, but by 1930's and 1940's standards they do fit the bill. So the keyword here is "Classics" from the early Fox Studios, and some rare, unusual and charming ones they are indeed! Each one is very different, but they all feature an ...

Fairy Tale - A True Story
This has been one of my favorite movies for several years. I just bought a copy for each set of grandchildren. It would not keep the attention of very young children, but is perfect for 6 year olds and above. Look for the uncredited appearance of Mel Gibson at the end of the movie.

My Daughter's Current "Favorite Movie"
This is by far the movie my daughter asks to watch the most. She loves unicorns/pegasi/horses in general and this movie just delivered everything she loved. Princesses, an exciting storyline that is not too complicated to follow, a gorgeous friendly pegasus and Shiver the polar bear who I have heard much about since she has seen this movie. The colors are nice, the story is well thought out ...

Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson

Universal Studios, 2006

Back to Basics
It is certainly hard to believe that Woody Allen has been creating films for over a generation - the mind boggles at the extent of his entire body of work. There isn't a filmmaker out there one could say has hit the mark every time, and Allen isn't an exception. His last serious film, Match Point, had mixed reviews as most of Allen's non-comedic films do, however the dialogue was truly excellent ...

TONY'S BEST
FOR ME I THINK THIS IS TONY CURTIS BEST FILM. THE GREAT HOUDINI IS BY FAR THE BEST TOLD STORY I'VE SEEN. UPDATED MOVIES OF THE GREAT HOUDINI JUST DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY THEY CAN NEVER GET THE TIME PERIOD RIGHT OR THE LOOK AND FEEL OF IT LIKE THIS MOVE DID. IF YOU LIKE CLASSIC MOVIE THEN THIS IS ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION, CHEERS!.

Phenomenal :-)
I love Cirque du Soleil. LOVE them. I bought this dvd back in 2004 and watch it a couple of times a year, but finally saw Varekai in person today. I've seen Mystere, O and Ka before, and this was also brilliant and phenomenal. The dvd is as excellent as the actual performance. It brings to life the colours of the costumes (superb) and you can obviously see the make-up better too and their ...

$ per blood, you best gore purchase
Grrrra-la la la la la la.... My little gore heart is singing! What a great endeavor beyond the outskirts of the blood-stained offensive sickening boundaries of cinema! This movie is bloody brilliant. Very entertaining and fun for you lovers of the red stuff. This was my first look at ole H.G. Initially, when I seen the shady magician and heard his hokey speech to the crowd, I thought man, ...
