Thomas Jefferson - A View From the Mountain [VHS]

Mpi Home Video, 2001

In the one scale justice, and in the other self preservation.
I found this jewel by accident while I was looking for films about mountain climbing. Well, that just goes to show you that life is indeed a box of chocolates. This piece requires a bit of work to chew but it's well worth the effort and I highly recommend it. This documentary does an excellent job of revealing the path that led towards the manifestation of the truth: That all MEN, of all ...

Thomas Jefferson: Philosopher of Freedom (A&E Biography) [VHS]

3 reviews

A&E Home Video, 1998

A wonderful portrait of the complicated man
Thomas Jefferson, in his 83 years, accomplished many great things -- certainly more than a 50-minute video could ever completely cover. In addition to this, Jefferson was also a man of essential paradoxes: the brilliant political and social philosopher vs. the sometimes shockingly unpractical president; the ardent American patriot vs. the worldly, French-obsessed cosmopolitan -- and, last but ...

Buena Vista Home Ent, 1996

Thank you, James Ivory
So I'm the first in 2009 to review this long dead movie. Well, it doesn't deserve to die, it should become a classic. I know a little bit about Jefferson and his beliefs and relationships and I say the film portrays this enigmatic man very much as he was, which should be something to cheer about. If the movie were done by anyone other than James Ivory, the makers would cast Leonardo Decapprio or ...

Grand Jury Testimony of William Jefferson Clinton [VHS]

12 reviews

Mpi Home Video, 1998

Cigar, Mr. President?
By now, you either own this video or you do not and never will. Clinton bashers love it and Clinton supporters try to pretend it doesn't exist. No one can deny that it is a document of lasting historical significance. There are many interesting, if oftentimes uncomfortable, segments in these four hours of grand jury testimony, such as Clinton's inane argument over the definition of the word ...

Monticello:Home of Thomas Jefferson [VHS]

42 reviews

Finley Holiday Film, 1996

BELIEVABLE, HISTORICAL BUT FICTIONALIZED DRAMA
Excellent history done as believable as this type of story can be done. It is a part of the American past, long hidden, and only proved in 1998. A president, Thomas Jefferson (Sam Neill) lives with his slave, unwed, mistress, openly at times, fathering several children through Sally Hemings (Carmen Ejogo) but never quite takes responsibility for the children. Today it would be as scandalous as it ...

Could be better
I bought this movie purely for the fact that my friend played the murderer. The story seem to place too much attention to the side story and rushed the plot.

Battlestar Galactica: Magnificent Warrior [VHS]

3 reviews
Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch

Universal Studios, 1992

One of the better episodes
Yes, it starts off with a cylon attack, but after that it gets much more interesting. Starbuck -- as only Starbuck could -- gets tricked into becoming sheriff of a tiny agro community, Adama fends off the unwanted attentions of Siress Bellaby, and there are many nice humorous moments to be had. Really one of the better episodes made.

Jefferson Starship [VHS]

Chromatic Records, 1983

JS - Live - pretty good
Let me start off by saying this is not a great concert video, and not the definitive concert it claims to be. However, that being said, it is an entertaining DVD, with some nice footage of the band. This is a concert DVD from the early 80's, on what looks to be the "winds of Change" tour - recorder live in Canada. One problem I had with this is that it is rather short - clocking in at a little ...

Clay S. Jenkinson

Empire Catalog, 2001

Brilliant!
I'm purchasing the tape because it has been shown on a local TV station many times and is positively brilliant. Jenkinson portrayal of Jefferson brings to life the real foundations for the United States allows insights into how far those that claim to represent the ideals of founding fathers have strayed from the founder's ideals. This tape as valuable as a college level course. I highly ...
