Monkey Monkey Bottle of Beer, How Many Monkeys Have We Here? (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1974) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The title for this play originates from a counting nursery rhyme that indicates who is "it" or "out", so, it may seem apropropriate for the theme of the play. Five women arrive separately to the basement of a hospital to learn the results of an experiment conducted on their mentally challenged 8-year...

Oedipus Rex (1957) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This version of "Oedipus Rex" is Sir Tyrone Guthrie's famous 1957 production, which had the actors wearing masks just as the ancient Greeks did when first performing this classic tragedy by Sophocles. The masks, designed by Tanya Moisewitsch and Jacqueline Cundall, are slightly oversized and quite stylized:...

Farewell to Harry Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This movie has all the hallmarks of a well-acted, well-produced indie film, but it missed its target for me somehow. I was distracted by its slight anachronistic feel; the film almost had a 1940s texture to it, but appeared to be taking place in more modern times -- it was difficult to tell. Regardless,...

Muppet Show - Monster Laughs with Vincent Price (1976) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I saw this episode when it originally aired in the states. Although Vincent Price does appear, the real guest for this one was Alice Cooper. Setting aside the shock-effect of his concerts, Alice and crew went for truly monster-laughs. Using Alice's "Welcome to My Nightmare" to set the mood, Jim Henson...

Live Facelift (1991) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As of 2002, in the wake of Jerry Cantrell's continuing solo career, Sean Kinney and Mike Inez's new band, Mike Starr's book, and Layne Staley's endless drug problems, it is clear that Alice in Chains is history. It's a shame, considering their music was the most personal and harrowing of the Seattle...

As Is (1986) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart is listed as the first Broadway production about AIDS, William M Hoffman's As Is was produced on Broadway the same year and won the 1995 Desk Drama Award for best new play and an Obie for Distinguished Playwriting. But whilst The Normal Heart is, to date, yet...

Tom Brown's Schooldays (1973) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was excited to see this title being released on DVD, as I have fond memories of watching it as an 11-year-old with my father when it first aired on "Masterpiece Theatre" in 1973. I was also concerned about how well it would hold up, having been frequently disappointed upon revisiting some of my favorite...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Originally shown on PBS, this is a documentary of the recording of "The Producers" cast album. "The Producers," the hit Broadway show that made a sweep at the Tony's, and continues to do so at the box office, has a lot of funny people involved - Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and Mel Brooks - and this...

Lord Peter Wimsey - Five Red Herrings (1976) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was delighted to see Acorn Media re-release Five Red Herrings. This is one of the best British mysteries ever by the greatest British mystery writer ever (in my opinion). While the DVD version is excellent, the print quality, as other reviewers have said, is not the greatest. BBC, in the mid 70s, used...

Broadway's Lost Treasures III - The Best of the Tony Awards Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As thankful as I am to see any footage of Broadway performers released, the Broadway Lost Treasures series is really -- it must be said -- a botched opportunity. There is little rhyme or reason in how the clips are chosen and assembled. The performances are good, bad and everything in between, and this...

Mike Fenton's Actors Workshop Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I came to Hollywood unprepared and naive. I had no idea how the system worked. Most videos and books written about how Hollywood works are written by failed wannabes. Not this one- Mike Fenton has worked on some of the biggest films of all time. I'd say about half of the movies I loved growing up were...
