Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)as a RHPS veteran of 12+ years, I know what an undeserved bad rap RHPS has gotten. And hopefully this video will help explain the phenomenon. It's fabulously done, true to the attitudes of the participants, and true to the spirit of RHPS internationally. (In other words, it's not at ALL like "Trekkies".)...

A Regular Frankie Fan (2002) Review
Acting Shakespeare (1982) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I saw this video in my high school British Lit. class in 1986 and was mesmerized. I was not a particular fan of Shakespeare at the time, was in fact one of those kids who found Shakespeare mostly boring and irrelevant, but this turned me on to all that Shakespeare can be and why he has remained popular...
North America's National Parks (As Seen In IMAX Theaters) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)(Please note that English is not my native language.)Good:Obviously, it's about national parks, and contains really impressive footage, well chosen and thought-out shots.Most footage is high-definition. Time-lapse effect (everything is sped-up) is nicely used to improve dynamics or point out changes...

DVD Home Moviemaking: A Beginner's Guide (2003) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I originally found it in a Seattle library, but found a copy online and purchased it and gave it to a Professor in Childhood Development because she had requested individuals make videos of children who were related in someway to students in a University class, to answer specific questions that might...

Faerie Tale Theatre - Jack and the Beanstalk (1983) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many years ago, the actress Shelley Duvall created and co-produced a series for Showtime Television called Faerie Tale Theatre. The quality of most of these stories are first-rate and feature many stars of the 1970's and '80's, quite a few of whom are still working today. This is one of the worst movies...
Timeless... A National Parks Odyssey (IMAX) (2004) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I agree with other reviewers that the images and music are gorgeous. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful. Yet I want other buyers to realize what I didn't: many of the scenes are filmed with time-lapse photography. In other words, the clouds and shadows move across the landscape in accelerated...

Masterpiece Theater: Oliver Twist (2000) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The poor reviews this movie has received (in both the DVD and VHS formats) I feel are totally unwarranted. This is my favorite put-to-film Dickens novel (except for the various "A Christmas Carol's" out there), and I am ecstatic that this version is finally available on DVD.Now, in this adaption, I believe...
That's Singing: Best of Broadway Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This taping absolutely blew me away! I originally bought it for the single purpose of seeing Barry Bostwick perform "Summer Loving" (instead of the talentless Travolta) after hearing the recording of the orginal "Grease!" cast. What an incredible find. As someone who is in love with musical theatre-I...

A close friend died.Click Here to see more reviews about: Titanic - The PremiereRelive the most glamourous night in movie history as the red...

Wendy Wassertein's Kiss, Kiss, Dahlings / Terrence McNally's The Last Mile (1992) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This show was broadcast in 1992 for the 20th anniversary of "Great Performances."Hard to believe, but the DVD contains two plays, each only about 15 minutes long. With this much brevity, it won't surprise you to hear that neither play outstays its welcome.The first, "Kiss, Kiss, Dahlings," is divided...
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (Deluxe Extended Edition + Digital Copy + DVD and BD Live) (2008) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The movie is truly amazing! (And it`s an extended edition!) Anyone who liked the first two will literally fall in love with this one! I think that even if you didn't see the first two, you will like this one because of what it talks about. This movie is about something we all go through: saying good-bye...
When the Lights Go Out Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This dvd is awesome! It's funny, entertaining and real. I liked how relateable and real the characters seemed and the overall presentation of the play. It was like I was watching a movie and not a stage play. Another thing I enjoyed most was the story content. The message pointed back to Christ. The...

William Shakespeare - Love's Labour's Lost (2024) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Opus Arte's presentation of Dominic Dromgoole's production of William Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost" is highly entertaining, and for me, highly recommended. Firstly, the technical aspects of the disc are very good. The production takes place in a reproduction of Shakespeare's "The Glode" theater...

Martial Arts Theater #3: The Hot, The Cool and the Vicious/He Has Nothing but Kung Fu Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Two fine, old-school king fu films. Note, however, only "He has Nothing but Kung Fu" stars Gordon Liu. What ploys distributers won't try to sell their items! (Also see my review of "Raiders of Buddhist Kung Fu.") "The Hot, the Cool and the Vicious" stars the great leg fighter, Tao-liang (Delon) Tan.The...

La Gran Scena Opera Presents Vera: Life of a Diva (2009) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I, too, came to buy this wonderful disk via the review in Opera News. While the reviewer does say its length might be too much of a good thing, the operative phrase is "good thing". If you love opera, in spite of its sometimes wretched excesses, then you will be totally charmed by this send-up of all...

Never Apologize Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)NEVER APOLOGIZE is a 2007 documentary of Malcolm McDowell's one man show/tribute to director Lindsey Anderson. McDowell has a sharp wit and is a wonderful storyteller. Sadly, this event is filmed on video and presented full-frame. It's not nearly as fun as O LUCKY MALCOLM (the feature length McDowell...

Moby Dick (2006) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is not a movie version of Herman Melville's MOBY DICK; it is a single actor on a stage, in front of an audience, playing all roles. You might think this wouldn't be enjoyable, but for a mature viewer seeking to squeeze the essence out of the book, this is quite worth while. The actor is brilliant,...
