World at War-Final Solution

Hbo Home Video, 2001

Good accounts for German's annihilation of Jews
I have just watched all 4 parts of this title in the same evening. Just like the title, the film is more focus on how millions of Jews in Europe and Russia are eventually brought to their fate at gas chambers and shooting sites(these scenes appear on tape 2 to 4). The film provides good explainations on how Hitler uses the War to cover up the annihilation of the Jews. This first video (Seeds ...

The aristocracy:Never the same again
I bought this specifically for the reference to Lady Mairi Bury at Mountstewart and it was ot o the tape at all - must have been edited out. Very dissappointing indeed.

Dorling Kindersley Video, 1995

An informative overview of the reptile family
I have been a reptile hobbyist for quite some time, and I found this video very insightful. It organizes the information very succinctly and neatly, and makes it all very understandable. And it continues the tradition of all "Eyewitness" videos by using sparse settings and graphics to tell the story of the reptile family. I think that anyone interested in reptiles will find this video ...

David McCullough, David Ogden Stiers

Pbs (Direct), 1998

Interesting and Imformative. My students were enthralled.
I am afraid that I must disagree with the other reviewers. Comparing a video to a book is unfair. An hour video can not be expected cover the length and breadth of such a topic as well as a four hundred page book. The movie does an excellent job of introducing the uninformed to the terrible experiences of families struck by the flu in 1918. It puts the virus in historical context and shares sad ...

The Germans from the German perspective
This classic WW1 film portrays the Germans at war from the German perspective. It acts as an interesting counterpoint to its contemporary, All Quiet on the Western Front, which portrays the Germans from the point of view of Hollywood. As many of the participants in the film were veterans of the real war, wearing the original uniforms and showing the original tactics, this film is fascinating ...

Double Headed Eagle-Hitler's R

Kino Video, 2000

Berkeley 1973
I just ordered this video. I assume it is the same one I saw as a student at Berkeley in 1973. The title then was "Swastika" and it was a documentary directed by Philippe Mora. I have been looking for this title for years and only recently discovered that it has been renamed "The Double Headed Eagle." Please let me know if this is incorrect.

Lillian Gish, Robert Harron

Charming and sweet
Charming is the best word to use in describing this minor masterpiece by D.W. Griffith. Set in rural Kentucky, Robert Harron plays a young man with big ambitions. His church members pray that he will stay home on the farm, and Lillian Gish is the sweet thing living on a neighboring farm who also wishes he would stay put (and marry her). He'd like to do just that himself, but ambition calls and ...

Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas

Warner Home Video, 1997

If you kill for a living, how will you meet your end?
Sylvester Stallone plays a hitman(Robert) who is contemplating leaving the lifestyle, but not before he has enough money to make it worth quitting. During a big contracted hit his target is taken out by another hitman played by Antonio Banderas(Miguel). Miguel is a big fan of Robert's work but has the desire to be the best & the only way to do that is to eliminate Robert & take his place as #1 ...

Bert Van Tuyle, Laddie

silent gem
Nell Shipman was a film maker very early in the game for the women involved in cinema. Her films are still fun to watch if you can find them. Something New was fun to watch as was the Maxwell that seemed to be indestructible running around the desert and mountains. For film history buffs, this is a good film to have as part of your collection.
