After "catching" the last half-hour or so of this film on television a few weeks ago I picked up the DVD -- I love weepy stories with happy endings. Within 30 seconds of the opening titles, I was completely surprised and riveted by Angel Eyes. Characters, story, it all worked for me. I won't ...

+ Finally,Great Video Transfer for Twister(on Blu-Ray) + a MUST have!!!!
Twister ranks up in my top movies of all time. When it first came out, the special effects were considered ground breaking and even jaw dropping. Years later the effects are just as incredible, effective and powerful as ever. Various kinds of twisters were created, and they are so believable. Every ...

Stan Aymard is asked to find another serial killer who likes to draw paintings with the blood of his victims. A treat for Willem Dafoe fans, ANAMORPH tells the improbable story of a ...
This perfect little film, similar in style to a Claude Chabrol, could equally well be performed on stage, but its atmosphere is enhanced by shots of the beautiful Hampshire village (it was mostly filmed in Hambledon) in which Tom Wilkinson and Emily Watson live a seemingly idyllic married life. The ...
+ An excellent story and production + Remarkable Cast of Characters
This miniseries should be re-watched because we lost a GREAT actor recently who done so good for so many.
This was his final appearance on film and he deserves a final award. Now is not the time to grieve, it is time to help others who need our help. This will truly honor a GREAT man ...
