Rendez-Vous Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Notice how the jackets of just about every video, especially the French ones, SHOUT how SEXY the movie is. In Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blue," par example, Juliette Binoche and the film are touted as being so, so sexy. But it wasn't, and neither was she. However in "Rendez-Vous" you will see a Juliette...

For the Use of the Hall (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1975) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I enjoyed David Hedison's outstanding performance, and of course, he's a dream to look at.But, the play was difficult for me to follow. It was supposed to be a comedy and a lot of it was, but I couldn't understand all of it except the story premise about a married woman having an affair (with lover Hedison)while...

Antigone: Rites of Passion Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This version of the Greek tragedy, Antigone, is inappropriate for sophomore high school students. The actress acts out suggestive movements toward Polyneices, yes, the dead guy, and her sister, Ismene while a narrator reads the story. Since I opened the movie, this poor teacher cannot get her money back....

War & Peace (BBC Production) (Box Set) (1973) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm quite in agreement with the reviewer who wrote that this is the best version of Tolstoy's classic--which I have, in fact, read. This is distinct from the "Fonda/Hepburn" version for that very reason: the mid-'50's version is known as the "Fonda/Hepburn" version. There were no Stars in this BBC production,...

Living Waterfalls DVD Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is not a photographic essay of waterfalls, but rather animated clips of three waterfalls. Only the first, pictured on the cover art, actually shows flowing water; the other two are static drawings of waterfalls, with the animation limited to flocks of birds and the occasional fish in the pool beneath...

Chinese Stuntman (Dubbed In English) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Chinese stuntman is the same movie as Counter Attack. I accidentally ordered both movies. However, the amazing stick fighting scene with Ho Chung Tao versus Dan Inosanto is worth the money.This movie is a true classic. A must have for Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee's friend in real life) and Ho Chung Tao...
