This Version Is The One To See
First off, let me state that after viewing both versions of this film: the 85-minute and the 106-minute ones, both have their merits. For VHS, I recommend the shorter version. If you have the Criterion DVD with a 106-minute one, however, you have the best. I had seen both on tape but when I saw the longer version with a great DVD transfer, it convinced me the longer one is the version you want to ...

Devil in a Blue Dress

Columbia/Tri-Star, 1999

One of the best book to movie adaptations ever
Look, I'm not one of those rabid dog book fans that trash a movie based on a book just because it didnt follow the book 100%. I actaully read Devil In A Blue Dress years before I saw the motion picture. Now even though the movie changed certain things around, its still pretty good in its own way. The movie is about 85% faithful to the book and even with that in mind it didnt destroy the fond ...

Marcel does the Middle Ages
As a huge fan of the works of Marcel Carne and Jacques Prevert, it is unfortunate to learn that other than 'Children of Paradise', none of their works are available on DVD. However, it is at least some consolation when you find that they are still in print on VHS. Considering that one of the finest films of all time, 'L'Atalante' by genius Jean Vigo has gone out of print on video, and that no one ...

The Most Beautiful Black and White Film Ever Made
I am not sure if I glimpsed this film when I was a child or not, but if there ws any US distributin before the film was pulled, I probably did. I saw all the Dietich films, long before I knew what they were about. The crowd scene, the carnival scene that begins the film is one of the most amazing pieces of crowd conrol and deftly choreographed effects ever recorded. It is lengthy and sets the ...

Devil Doll (1936)

Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sullivan

MGM (Warner), 1998

First rate horror thriller
"Devil doll "was another remarkable work of that genius of the direction as Tod Browning was. More than a filmmaker, he was primarily, a visionary artist. Indeed, anticipating himself for years to next releases of the same narrative profile, mirrors around the revenge of a man who has been framed for murder by three business rivals. Starred by Lionel Barrymore plus the scary special effects and a ...

Oh Cos You Devil
The 1980's were not Disney heyday for films. However this devil of a film was cute for the 1980'a. Bill Cosby is a soul Arranger who give a recently dead Max Devlin (Elliot Gould) a chance to return to earth. His assignment for two months to get three innocent souls to sell their souls. Cosby as Devil is almost as fun as George Burns was in Oh God You Devil. I will say this, when Cos is on ...

Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich

Universal Studios, 2001

Tobey Maguire never better, plus great supporting cast
Forget Spider-Man. Yeah, different genre, different period. Maguire gives us an outstanding performance as Jake Roedel, a bushwhacking marauder wreaking havoc on the Union Army during the Civil War. Skeet Ulrich as Jack Bull Chiles, Simon Baker as George Clyde and Jeffrey Wright as Daniel Holt are his close associates during most of the ride. With Jonathan Rhys Myers as Roedel's ally/nemesis, ...

The true Devils
I saw this masterpiece when it first came out, 1971. I have not stoped thinking and talking about it since. The devil you think of are not the devils you will see. It will leave a mark on you. This is not a light film. You won't forget it. Expect a wide range of emotional reponses, widest range of any film I have seen with the possible exception being the Kind Of Hearts with Allan Bates. ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

The Devil Gets His Own
This classy film mixes fact and fiction. Bernard Shaw's take on the American Revolution has all the smart touches that we associate with his plays with some scant reference to history thrown in. What makes this movie a hit are the three great actors who are all in their prime here. Laurence Oliver's John Bourgoyne (Gentlemanly Johnny) is simply brilliant. His acid wit makes for a most ...

The Devil and Miss Jones

Jean Arthur, Robert Cummings

RKO Radio Pictures, 1988

A classic too long overlooked
I adore this movie. It has a charm that time can't dilute. The references to labor unrest and class differences resonate in today's world, and the performances are lovely. A true standard for romantic comedy. The term sounds more frivolous than this small jewel of a movie deserves.

Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 26: The Devil In the Dark

William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy

CBS Paramount International Television, 1994

Horta-culture
Yet another in the string on winning episodes, this one concerns a conflict between miners and a silicon-based life form. This unusual episode has a strong element of suspense, since we are not only trying to figure out just what's happening, but also worried about what lurks in the dark tunnels. The episode is more than just suspenseful though. Themes explored include the rights of all creatures ...

Cadfael my Son
This is one of the best sets in the series. Although I think Sean Pertwee in the first set was a better sheriff, this group of stories is incredible. We see consoling, love, intrigue, lechery, murder, highway bandits, rape, kidnapping, and a host of other acts of love and violence. Some true chivalry, an evil monk but not the one that is accused, and mysterious disappearances of people make this ...

USA DVD EDITION???
This is one of Lee Marvin's best movies and it's a shame that it is only in a Region 2 format, what about us poor schmucks that live in the USA and need a Region 1 release, what are we "Chopped Liver"?

"Media" and Antigone
Bellocchio refers to this as a mainly political movie, a description of the revolutionary movement in Italy, but that seems more metaphor than reality. Well, almost everything in the movie seems like metaphor. The revolutionaries, of whom we see and about whom we learn very little, might as well be mafiosi. Out with the old and in with the new. Andrea's Papa, a psychoanalyst, seems to stand ...

"I've nutured man, despite all his imperfections, I'M A FAN OF MAN!!!"
This is a fantastic movie. Al Pacino doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was amazing as Satan. Keanu Reeves was good and Charlize Theron is gorgeous. Keanu Reeves is a Florida district Attorney who is recruited by a big law firm in Manhattan. Kevin (Reeves) accepts the offer and he and Mary (Theron) move to a very exclusive building where most of the lawyers from Milton and his partners ...

Allumination, 2000

Brilliant
This movie is brilliant! A superb and decadent chronicle of hispanic deviants fallen victim to an abrasive love and lust between each other. The best film ever released in the United States by a Mexican-American director and one of the biggest new-age cult hits.

This is a fast paced drama,with a sensational supporting cast.Set in the Ireland of 1920,Cagney gives an understated performance as a University professor by day and an IRA activist by night.Don Murray plays the Irish American idealist caught in the middle,and in love with an IRA hostage. This picture captures brilliantly all the passions and emotion of the Irish Question,and the scene at ...
