Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau

Paramount, 2000

" WE'RE OUT OF CORNFLAKES! .....F. U. ! "
The original film that inspired the hit TV show is still a very funny and smart comedy! I had not seen this movie in many years and I found myself laughing out loud through out this exceptional film. A rare mix of comedy and an insightful look at the many layers that makes us all human! Lemmon and Matthau are perfectly cast in this classic as the two polar opposite buddies who end up sharing an ...

House Calls

Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson

House calls for whoopee
"House Calls" is a delightful romantic comedy that focuses on prevalent social issues. Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson have a wonderful chemistry together. Art Carney plays to caricature the bumbling bureacrat and surgeon who is director of an unsuccesful hospital. Richard Benjamin, so popular in 1978 when the film was released, was charming as Matthau's foil. Jackson and Matthau first meet ...

Walter Matthau, Glenda Jackson

Criterion, 2002

Delightful put-down of stuffy bureacracies
Walter Matthau, is, as always, a top performer, and this DVD is no exception. It is essentially a kind of pure American put down of stuffy bureacracies and bureacrats by the usual witty, bright, and go-your-own-way battler against city hall(s). Here Matthau takes on the CIA, FBI, and his opposite in the KGB (who is nonetheless a friend) and winds up twisting all their noses in the end and ...

Walter Trout & The Radicals

Ruf Records, 2003

The most underrated guitarist in the world!
I only give 5 star reviews, because I'm only interested in turning people on to the things I love most. Walter Trout has just entered that category. Playing just his stratocaster through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV amp with the rare Mesa Boogie Leslie-copy rotating speaker and no effects, Walter Trout pulls out all the stops in this incredible concert. He has been unfairly accused of being ...

1985 CBS News Video Library, 2008

Superb
Im surprised not more has been said or written about this fantastic piece on the vietnam war. The footage and stories from the reporters in Nam were simply mesmerizing. Basically there are several stories by reporters including a teenage looking dan rather. Walter cronkite is the host from a studio although he is on location sometimes...the stories are rarely seen footage...I've been ...

"Strap-Hangin' Good"
This is one of the most tense and exciting movies ever made as a NYC subway train is hijacked and commandeered by a group of criminals. You will go all "white knuckley" hanging on to the arms of your theater seat. Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau are absolutely fabulous. If you never saw this gem, I highly recommend it. Be prepared to get a bit amused at the retro costuming--so stylish for the ...

Happy with this DVD
I love this movie and wanted a copy for a long time. When I found it on Amazon for such a good price, I had to have it. I think the choice made for people in this movie could not have been better. Very funny and romantic. DVD arrived in great shape and right on time. J. Ray

At last on DVD!
A charming film with Matthau giving an oscar-nominated performance as a fifth-wheel grandfather living with his son (Charles Aidman), daughter-in-law (Felicia Farr, aka Mrs. Jack Lemmon), and their infant son, whom Grandpa adores. Lemmon directed his pal Matthau in this film, and look for Lemmon doing a brief cameo as a sleeping bus passenger. Into Kotch's life comes Erica, the babysitter, who ...

RUGGED LAND

Nothing but Sweetness!
I loved the book, loved the DVD and miss Walter. The DVD is great, showing clips of Walter running over tacklers and doing it mainly on his own, without the aid of an outstanding offensive line. Walter lossed more yards to holding than other running backs got during any given year and this brings back all those wonderful Walter moments. Great keep sake and my younger son who never saw Walter ...

KOCH VISION, 2005

Out of the mouth of a babe ...
Barbara Walters is exhilirating. To look at her in her St. John's knit suits is to experience something close to transcendentalism. I mean she's making the scene and keeping it not too far in between. Fact: Barbara is a no-nonsense reporter. Fact: Barbara has a heart that beats gently and breaks just like yours and mine. Only she tries to hide her figure under those exquisite suits, but anyone ...

A Guide for the Married Man in the 1960's
Although I found Walter Matthau at his "as always" best in the Guide for the Married Man, the role doesn't do him justice. I gave it five stars as a "period piece" of how we lived in the 1960's, or more specifically, how the sexes were perceived during that time period. Fortunately I think our society has moved onward and upward from the the depiction of both sexes in this film. To view ...

Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo

Fearless Dreamer
Danny kaye was a gifted physical comedian and Walter Mitty is one of his best roles. He dreams because his life is not too exciting. I think lots of people can relate to this. Walter is brave when in his real life he is not. Then he meets Virginia Mayo (a beautiful blonde) who just happens to be his dream girl come alive. The story is universal and makes the viewer laugh 90% of the time. For all ...

What scrooge could give this flick less than 4 stars??
It's an eighties gem, so overlooked and STILL FUNNY. I have been waiting for this DVD for years now (along with "Club Paradise" and "Ice Pirates" -still waiting 08/04). It is hysterical in some parts, and it will stand the test of time. Admittedly, I loved this movie when I saw it (in the 80's), and am still biased. But there are at least 10 belly laugh scenes, all priceless and unique. Tons ...
