Robert Louis Stevensons's: Kidnapped (2005) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)-The first adult novel I read was "Kidnapped," when I received it for my 9th birthday. I had a tough time with many of the words, but no one would help me; they would always say: "Look it up. That's how you learn."Well, I did learn to love Stevenson's work and similar adventure tales; but, the reason...

South Pacific: In Concert From Carnegie Hall (2006) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What superlatives are left to describe this concert? This is a truly exhilirating, incandescent performance filled with an all too rare quality, passion. The New York Times review described it best as "near complete rapture." For those who belittle the idea of Reba McEntire in a Broadway musical, take...

Noises Off... (1992) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Noises Off is a treasure of a movie buried in the comedy section of the video store. And after viewing it as a chance discovery, I would rank it as one of the funniest movies I've ever seen ' bar none! There is no message, no lingering camera work and precious little plot actually, but the sight gags...

Masterpiece Classic: Any Human Heart Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As every review on Amazon for the PBS Masterpiece Classic presentation of "Any Human Heart" wants to challenge the editing of the film--I feel compelled to leap into the fray with the definitive answer.

Dv8: Physical Theater (Sub) (1995) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Hands down one of the finest of all dance/film collections--for me its only competition is THE COST OF LIVING by the same group. Powerful, sexy, intellectually stimulating, these imaginative works are stunningly filmed, using a dazzling array of camera techniques.MONOCHROME MEN feels choreographed for...

Othello (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Production) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Theater in Shakespeare's time was popular entertainment for the masses and not highbrow art. The Globe Theatre in London continues that tradition with this production of Othello. In contrast to productions of Othello in which the actors are self-consciously striving to be "deep", the actors here are...

Mr. Bill's Disasterpiece Theater Definitive Collection (Classics/Does Vegas/Christmas Special) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Calling this set 'The Definitive Collection' couldn't have been more accurate. Disc 1 (Mr. Bill Classics), holds all the original shorts seen on SNL, remastered and looking better than ever before. There's the occasional film grain from the original super-8 prints from the 70's, but this looks alot better...

RiffTrax: Plays with Their Shorts- from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, & Bill Corbett riff their way over nine historic and hysteric shorts in the appropriately named collection "Rifftrax Plays with Their Shorts". While the subjects are wide ranging, a "patriotic" theme rears it's head in three of the shorts.We begin with a collection of stock...

Poldark 1 (6 VHS Boxed Set) (1977) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My sister has always raved about the Poldark series that was shown on Masterpiece Theatre in the mid nineteen seventies. When it first became available on video, though it was expensive, she promptly bought the first set of six tapes and has yet to tire of watching them. Knowing how much I love period...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Manos: Hands of Fate (1988) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The current wisdom among bad movie buffs is that Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is the worst movie ever made. Believe me, it's not. And if you don't believe me, then just watch this one. Try it without the MST gang and see if you think "Plan 9" is worse. "Manos," according to film critic Michael...

Faerie Tale Theatre - The Pied Piper Of Hamelin (1982) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the early to mid eighties, Shelly Duvall produced a cable show for the then flagship HBO network called Faerie Tale Theatre. The intent was to bring classic childhood stories to an audience of young and old alike through big name stars, directors, and hip, irreverent writing. Without this series,...

Scooby-Doo The Mystery Begins (2009) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, I want everyone to know that I love the first two Scooby-Doo live action films. I thought the casting was done well, the stories were fine, and they looked good. I thought the second one was a little cooler because it had a lot of the "monsters" from the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? series...

Sleepers (1991) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've waited for years to see this thriller again. It's an example of what BBC was once able to do: create the nearly perfect drama. Everything about this classic is right. The casting is perfect; in a just world, Clarke would have been given many awards. There is much humor. And the spy story keeps your...
