A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All

New Yorker Films Video / Cinema Guild, 2008

Unforgettable
This is a wonderful documentary about "development" which focuses primarily on one case in Austin, but is really asking questions about the entire society's choices and values. The filmmakers leave no secret about where their opinions lie on the commentary track, but this is not a one sided Michael Moore type film. Wendell Berry reads from his work over the opening scene and Patty Griffin's ...

Hilarious!
This is hands down the funniest movie I've ever seen. Good clean, wholesome fun for everyone. Anyone that doesn't think this movie is hilarious must not have a sense of humor at all!

Get this DVD, not the 2003 release
I read a review on Amazon that said this one (the 1998 DVD) had the original music so I spent the extra $$ to get it and I'm glad I did. The music is a key element to the story and watching it without Willie Nelson's songs would have been plain wrong!

Wag the Dog (New Line Platinum Series)

Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro

New Line, 1998

Clever, witty, and interesting.
This is a smart piece of fiction with some high caliber acting. Faking a war for political gain is something seemingly far-fetched, but strangely familiar with how far politics will go to trick the citizens and gain support. This film has a great message while still being incredibly entertaining.

American Experience - The Murder of Emmett Till

9 reviews
Andre Braugher, Rose Jourdain

PBS (Direct), 2004

Disturbing..
I wasn't born when Emmett Till was murdered, yet this story has always troubled me. Watching this PBS documentary just mesmerized me. I don't understand this kind of hate, that grown men would drag a young boy from his bed and literally beat him to death. And how a legal system or the community could support the white men because they were white and the victim was black. One witness said he ...

Friday the 13th (1980) / Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) (Double Feature)

8 reviews
Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King

Paramount, 2007

The Best Horror Films Ever Made
Two of the scariest movies ever made. They're both shot in a gritty documentary style like the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2-Disc Ultimate Edition) that gives them a feeling of realism and makes you feel like you're there in person. Part 1 has one of the best and most unpredictable endings. And Part 2 is one of the few sequels that's just as good as the original, if not better. Both are pretty ...

Willie Nelson - Last of the Breed

13 reviews
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard

A&E HOME VIDEO, 2007

Last of the Breed
If you enjoy some of the older c/w music, this is your cup of tea. Ray Price at 81 still has a wonderful voice. Willy Nelson at 75 still hasn't lost any of his skill and Merle Haggard sings many of his famous toons. One of the best I've heard and I'm not normally a c/w fan.

The Dukes of Hazzard (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Mitch Braswell, A.J. Foyt IV

Warner Home Video, 2005

LIGHTEN UP - Enjoy the Fun
THE GOOD: There's one scene in this movie that makes it worth buying (hell it made it worth seeing on the big screen). Cooter is repairing General Lee. When he's finished "the boys" jump in and when she cranks up ... if you long for the sound of the old V-8's hot rod rumble ... it's very exciting! The writer and actor did a great job expressing Bo's love for the General Lee. If you've ...

Townes Van Zandt - Be Here to Love Me

Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris

Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2006

Makes You Shake Your Head and Wonder
I saw Townes Van Zandt in concert twice. The first time I was in my senior year of college, and Townes came through town (Nacogdoches, TX) and put on a simply captivating show. His voice was fine, his guitar playing was good, and he told story after story that were side-achingly funny. (And the girl I took to the concert thought I was really smart for knowing about this great "folkie" that she ...

Shaun's still Got It
I do love a good western, and this was a pretty good western. Although Willie Nelson is not as good an actor as he is a singer, Shaun Cassidy is HOT HOT HOT in this movie. The first part of the movie is pretty amusing with quite a few old favorite actors, quite a few of whom I believe have since passed on, but it is a pretty good way to spend an hour and a half. With Richard Widmark, Stuart ...

James Caan, Tuesday Weld

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Highly underrated, for discerning viewers. Quality work.
I hadn't seen this in 15 years and was amazed at how much better it is in every way to the high end noisy Hollywood slop that blows up in our faces these days. The acting, script, look, feel, and moody soundtrack are all top notch. Michael Mann could learn something by studying his old work here instead of torturing us with expensive and boring garbage like Miami Vice. This is not for ...

Korean War Stories

4 reviews
Walter Cronkite, David H. Hackworth

PBS (Direct), 2003

The Korean war from the perspective of those who fought it
The best line in this video is near the end, where a veteran of that war says, "The Korean War is not a forgotten war, it is a forgotten victory." Absolutely true, but a point few people in the United States seem to understand. In the age of nuclear weapons, total victory in the Korean War, as measured by Korean unification under the leadership of the United Nations, was not possible. That was ...

Lions Gate, 2003

Another Vote for Widescreen
I loved this western when it came out. An tight, elegant script by Lonesome Dove screenwriter Bill Witliff, plus a sense of landscape-as-psychology from Aussie director Fred Schepisi. Most movies are acceptable in full-screen. This is not one of them. I'll buy the DVD when it is released in its proper format.
