Man for All Seasons (1988) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I love this story, as a fragment of history (such as we know of it), as a dramatic work by a fine playwright and in both extant film productions. The 1966 film directed by Zinnemann is a wonderful filmic reworking of the play with some noble acting and art direction. It retains the essence of the story...

Living Theater: Connection Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This film by maverick filmmaker Shirley Clarke (THE COOL WORLD) gets its power by its sheer simplicity. A group of jazz musicians await their drug "connection" inside a seedy New York City apartment while being filmed for a documentary. Set entirely in one room of the apartment, THE CONNECTION effectively...

Stone (2010) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)STONE is dubbed a "psychological duel", and it is. Robert Deniro plays Jack, a parole officer who holds all the cards in the life of Stone (Edward Norton) a convicted arsonist who is pleading his case to be released from prison, back into society. Stone will stop at nothing, including using his wife...

Neighbors (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1971) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many may know the author, Arkady Leokum, as one who writes "Tel Me Why" childrens' books. As a playwright, Leukom has written the humorous short play "Enemies"."Neighbors" is mostly one-on-one dialogue which doesn't entail any grand or lengthy monologues. The 70s performance is a television cast with...

Kung Fu: The Complete Series Collection (1972) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are lots of reviews which already talk (extensively) about why Kung Fu was such a great show, and worth owning on DVD. Instead I just wanted to make sure people know what they are getting with this set...I hesitated to buy this set at first because it had all 3 seasons packaged together, but didn't...

Lullaby (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1960) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I liked Lullaby but I would loved it in color. But watching Ruth White at 46 years old play the overbearing mother-in-law and mother to Eli Wallach and his real-life wife Anne Jackson is quite entertaining. I work in Ruth's hometown of Perth Amboy, New Jersey and I ordered Lullaby to give away as Christmas...

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The impression that "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" gives is that it's a bubbly, bright, and--for all intents and purposes--meaningless sequel to the first film. To my relief, it follows the example set by its predecessor, a surprisingly levelheaded friendship story. Four years after discovering...

Kung Fu Theater: Shaolin Dolemite and Black Samurai Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)SHAOLIN DOLEMITE-This movie is only for a select few. If you are a fan of the Dolemite movies then be prepared to be dissapointed. On the other hand, if you liked Ninja the Final Duel distributed by Crash Cinema, you may like this movie even more. Tai actually directed 12+ hours worth of NInja Final...

I, Claudius (1977) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many important scenes have been cut (censored?) from the original Masterpiece Theater version including the contest between Claudius' wife and the prostitute, Caligula's horse Incitatus being made senator, and others. These omissions sacrifice the overall continuity and flow. These omissions are unnecessary...

The Rivals Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although I am hardly an authority on the theater, it does not take a genius to see that this production is something special. The acting is wonderful, the camera work is excellent (especially compared to most recordings of stage events) and the play itself is amazing. The performance was done in period...

The Politician's Wife (1996) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Politician's Wife plays out in three installments, each lasting a little over an hour. This playing time is needed to allow for the intricate plotting of this complex drama. In the first part Flora Matlock, wife of Tory minister and rising star Duncan Matlock, learns that her husband has been unfaithful...

Four by Ailey: An evening with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The four ballets presented on this tape show not just the Ailey company at its best, but serve as a sort of testament to Ailey himself. Two of the works ("Divining" and "The Stack-Up") are works by two choreographers among many Ailey made a "home" for; the former work is by former Ailey dancer and current...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Angels Revenge Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is one of the funniest MST3K episodes of all time. I hardly even know where to begin on this one. Here's the background: a teacher is so disgusted with bad guys selling drugs to kids that she decides to blow up the drug lab outside of town (where she seems to think all of the world's drugs are centrally...
