Funny video
This video is very funny and entertaining. I had seen Yakov's show in Branson, MO and this video was a nice reminder of the trip.

ANOTHER GREAT MOVIE NOT ON DVD
I love this movie. Imagine a spoiled, pampered American baseball player getting talked into teaching the "All American Sport" to a team of Russian athletes, most of which have never played the game. I thought Joe Mantegna was great in this roll. The wheeling and dealing with the Russian "underworld" for just about everything they need is hilarious and very believable. But as it goes with many ...

Jeeves and Wooster; Comrade Bingo
As with all the Jeeves and Wooster films this one is hilarious. Bingo Little is back and has of course fallen in love...again. This time the apple of his eye is the daughter of a Marxist communist working in Britain to free the masses from the yoke of the evil aristocracy. Bertie is recruited to provide dinner and companionship and good references for the always-penniless Bingo's latest ...

Three Comrades [VHS]

Robert Taylor, Margaret Sullavan

MGM (Warner), 1998

Great period film.
This is a poignant movie adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's novel about three life-long friends in post World War I Germany and beautifully filmed by cinematographer and four-time Oscar winner Joseph Ruttenberg ("Waterloo Bridge", "The Philadelphia Story"). I read somewhere that this is a movie that MGM ran into some problems in its production because it was considered by some to be a ...

Lyle Alzado, Lorna Courtney

Republic Pictures, 1998

Very Entertaining
This movie, as many lower budget war movies do in fact lack the screen play and high tech computer graphics of modern day films, but this Cold War era movie is very entertaining. Lyle Alzado in perhaps his last movie appearance does a good job as a Soviet General and the lines in the movie and hard nosed acting of Lance Henriksen are great. Steve Kaman as Colonel Kotchov does a great job as a ...

Comrade X [VHS]

Clark Gable, Hedy Lamarr

MGM (Warner), 1998

A Riot!
Coming on the heels of Garbo's "Ninotchka" this film was somewhat dismissed as lightweight, but in retrospect it is a delightfully hilarious blend of political satire and slapstick comedy from King Vidor. The writing team of Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer gave Vidor a script which poked fun of communism while still allowing its stars, Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr, to be themselves. The result was a ...

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 ...
