great story
This movie I watched over 10 times when it came out. Need I say more? There is one thing some may not notice do. After his off Broadway play and he comes home drunk, he clears off the table Sticks his head out the window and starts quoting the paper. as he was pulled back in the table was back to normal, but no one had the time to fix it, only little flaw in the film. Well worth adding to your ...

Some people won't get it
This is excellent. Many people under 35 years old or so probably won't appreciate this Neil Simon classic. I was 12 or so when I first saw it in 69' or 70'. I was captivated by it's exaggeration of marriage, love and commitment. It is not a 'reality show'. If you have been married for many years (33 years) like I have, you will really enjoy the absurdities and over-reactions. It's a great ...

Platinum Disc, 2004

A touching vignette
To Woody Allen/Peter Falk/Neil Simon fans, this is must viewing. I think they both had a good time making this, and I sure enjoyed the viewing. Even if you don't like the film as much as other Woody films, the music, as always, is a pleasure. I would love an album of "Songs Woody Allen Movies are Made of." This film manages to get the story of two old ex-partners who reunite briefly to be ...

Mutant Enemy, INC., 2008

Deliciously Evil
Joss Whedon has created another wonderful hit. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has just the right amount of evil mixed with just a touch of cheesiness. It's really hard to decide which is more enjoyable. Watching Dr. Horrible, or watching it while listening to Commentary the Musical. Neil Patrick Harris does a fantastic job as the main character Dr. Evil. He's trying to get into the Evil League ...

'The end of the affair'
Wonderful movie, but then I was brought up in England during the era so it is very familiar in all aspects. Just adore Ralph Fiennes.

Neil Simon's London Suite

Patricia Clarkson, Kelsey Grammer

Platinum Disc, 2004

Not up to Simon's best, but it had it's moments.
The most redeeming segments of the show were the one's between Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Clarkson. They had been divorced for eight years and she had become a big TV star and he had gone off to Greece with a gentleman friend. They clearly loved each other still, but the bi-sexuality of Grammer clearly made the situation impossible. Their scenes together were funny, sad, heart warming and in ...

Charlie Rose, 2006

The Mamet and Simon segments
I have a lot of sympathy for David Mamet, and his attempt to awaken self- denying and self- hating Jews to some kind of open and full embracing of their Jewishness. But I do not know the work he is most well- known for, his playwriting. In this interview with Rose he appears to be an extremely serious and oddly self- possessed person. Yet I truly did not understand much of what he was saying. ...

Creative Light, 2000

This is Live Television at It's Absolute Best.
Watching this collection is a revelation. This is "live" television from nearly fifty years ago and it is still falling-down funny. The word "genius" is overused but it certainly applies to the men and women who created these classics of sketch comedy: Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart, Mel Tolkin, Neal and Danny Simon, Woody Allen, Imogene Coca, Nanette Fabray, Howard Morris, and, ...

Sex And Death 101
Interesting story. What would you do if you knew everyone you'd ever sleep with before you died? I have to say this was a real original story and played out quite well. As for the value of this Blu-Ray disc, picture was quite clear and crisp, not reference material but still a real good looking disc. The audio is audio from a comedy, so it's not packing a huge impact on your surround sound. ...

Biography - Neil Simon: The People's Playwright
Neil Simon

A&E Home Video, 2006

He is the most prolific and commercially successful playwright in Broadway history. But even though there is a theater named after him, some question whether his plays belong on the Great White Way today. Neil Simon survived a stormy childhood by escaping into books, movies and his imagination. His gift of invention landed him a job as a writer for Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows when he was in his 20s. Soon, his plays were on Broadway and he ...
