Hey Mr. Producer: The Musical World of Cameron Mackintosh (2006) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"My Fair Lady", "Oliver", "Les Miserables", "Phantom of the Opera", "Cats", "Miss Saigon" all packed in one DVDs. My favourites include Jonathan Price as Professor Higgins singing "I've grown accustomed to her face, "You've got to Pick a Pocket or Two" from Oliver, "send in the clowns" by Judi Dench,...

Sense and Sensibility (2009) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This 1971 production is the first of the BBC's 3 adaptations of Sense & Sensibilty and as far as I am aware is presented here on DVD for the first time. It's a passable effort, the casting could be better and it has a somewhat stagey feel, but overall is alright but not outstanding. It runs for about...

Lord Peter Wimsey - The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (1973) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As many of us that were eternally grateful to Acorn Media for reissuing after too many decades the Lord Peter Wismey "Clouds of Witness," just so many and perhaps more can welcome back with the incomparable Ian Carmichael whose idea it was to film the series in the first place and who almost did not...

Lehar - Das Land des Lachelns / Kollo, Pitsch-Sarata, Koller, Zednik, Liewehr, Ebert, Stuttgart Opera (1974) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A fine performance of a good operetta. The singing of Rene Kollo is especialy good, and he looks great, even in fake oriental makeup. His rendition of "Dein ist mein Ganzes Herz", the hit tune from the show, is far better than the version recorded by Giuseppe di Stefano. Dagmar Koller as Princess Mi...

Ultimate DVD Platinum (1999) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a mediocre "set-up" cd. The majority of the audio set-up utilities are not explained well either on the dvd itself or in the included text. There are minimal to no directions given on using the setup tools. The setup section is a waste of time. It does have some pretty cool audio demonstrations...

A Touch of the Poet (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1974) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"A Touch Of The Poet" is probably the best O'Neill play you've never seen or read, and so it is fortunate that this production has been preserved by the Broadway Theatre Archive. The two leads, Roberta Maxwell and Fritz Weaver, are amazing, and Nancy Marchand is splendid as the passively adoring and...

Cradle Will Rock (2000) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The time was 1936-the painful apex of the Great Depression. This was the world inhabited by the plethora of characters in this film. Most of them were real people-augmented by fictional counterparts. Composer Marc Blitzstein was real-as was his Brechtian musical. Its opening night is still considered...

Home (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1972) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Winner of the New York Critics Best Play of the Year Award in 1970, this hilariously funny but ineffably sad, five-character play by David Storey, directed by Lindsay Anderson, pairs Sir Ralph Richardson and Sir John Gielgud as two proud men who meet and talk in the garden of what appears to be some...

Barrage - The World on Stage Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the lineage of "Stomp", "Blue Man Group" and "Blast", this group of talented violinists, guitarist, percussionists, and bassist are breaking new ground with the use of the violin. The music is stunning, and their personalities are enchanting. It is really wonderful to see excellent musicians having...

Black Belt Theatre: Choy Lay Fut/Tiger's Claw Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Now first the picture quality. Choy Lee Fat is somewhat widescreened with bad picture. I have seen worse and have to say that personally, I had no problem with it. It is somewhat widescreened and dubbed in English so I don't have to squint to read the subtitles. Tiger's Claw is full screened and picture...

Ipi Ntombi: An African Dance Celebration (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have audio cassettes for Ntombi Marhumbhini. My friend gave them to me when I was in Malawi. When I came to the US, I wanted if I could find a VHS for the audio cassettes I have only to find Ipi Ntombi. I read the reviews, and I did not hesistate to buy it.This movie is great. The way they sing and...

The Woman in White (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I find it unusual that the reviews of this movie are so skewed at the very ends of the continuum of great to horrible. Whenever this happens, I am tempted to see the movie and judge for myself. That is what I suggest to viewers here. I have both read the book and seen the movie, and I, unusually it seems,...

Ray Bradbury Theater Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the exact same product at the DVD set listed as the "Ray Bradbury Theater Complete Series" but for less money and comes with a collectible tin. This was $18 vs. $31 for the other version. When you open the tin up, the package inside looks exactly the same as the picture for the other version,...

Ballet Shoes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)BALLET SHOES (starring Emma Watson... celebrated for her lead roles in the Harry Potter films...along with an all-star acclaimed ensemble cast) is absolutely wonderful. I personally am in love it. Targeting a very large and underserved audience which is best defined as "moms and their daughters", Ballet...

Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Dame Edna's neighbourhood watch is well worth the money. It's one of the most imaginative TV shows you'll ever see. Her wit is at top form here. You'll laugh and laugh and cry for more when it's finished. Why in the world this show was never brought to the US I'll never know. Dame Edna's humor must be...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Major Sinclair Yeates (Peter Bowles) leaves the army and becomes a Resident Magistrate in late-Nineteenth Century Ireland. There he encounters a people so foreign to his way of thinking that he often finds himself befuddled and hopelessly confused. Surrounding him are such people as the formidable Mrs....
