Being Julia Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Being Julia" is a homage to the legendary hammy and self-absorbed actors of yesteryear. Set in 1930's London, the movie stars Annette Bening as Julia Lambert, a forty-five year old actress who suddenly realizes that her best years may be behind her. She is exhausted, depressed, and bored with her life....

Sharpe's Challenge (2006) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you're a Sharpe fan, you won't be disappointed with this newest installment of the television interpretations of Bernard Cornwell's novels. Yes, you're right, this one is a mishmash of the three books (Sharpe's Tiger, Triumph and Fortress) set in India, and Sharpe's age had to be fiddled with to accomodate...

Melody Ranch (1940) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This movie was a classic western musical. It had the talents of lovely Ann Miller, famous dancer, the fabulous comedy of Jimmy Durante and Gabby Hayes and of course the sweet voice of young Mary Lee. Gene, a radio star, returns to his home town of Torpedo as honorary sheriff for a day and winds up running...

Greater Tuna Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I SO wanted to award them 5-stars like all the rest of the reviewers, but the DVD version of this classic play just doesn't meet my expectations.My wife and I absolutely love the Tuna trilogy (Greater Tuna, A Tuna Christmas, and Red, White and Tuna). We first saw Greater Tuna on our honeymoon while in...

Topsy-Turvy Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Topsy-Turvy is the story of the creation of the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, "The Mikado." It contains not just the story of the musical's creation but many scenes from Mikado and other G&S musicals. Long-time "G&S" (Gilbert & Sullivan) fans probably found this movie a long time ago....

Bill Hicks Live - Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As one who worked in comedy clubs for years and saw hundreds and hundreds of so-called comedians, I can assert that only a handful of comics make a lasting impression. Hicks was one of those. Though I only got to see him onstage for one week's worth of shows in 1987, his body of work thankfully became...

Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera (1996) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've seen Domingo perform Otello live about 24 times including being in the audience the night this was filmed as well as opening night. This was the most magical night in all my years of going to opera. The electric energy flying around the stage between the principals and the audience was almost unbearable....

Augie T. Live @ Hawai'i Theatre Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Augie T. is the hottest rising star in comedy today. He has what it takes to make it world wide -- meaning the ability to make the audience laugh. REALLY laugh! That healing belly laugh that just shakes away all your cares and releases any tension is what this dvd produces. I saw the show and enjoyed...

Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1998) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"It is a pity he was not immortal, he was so formed for happiness." -- Mary Wortley Montagu on the death of her cousin, Henry Fielding. This dramatization of this most wonderful book is nearly perfect. I say nearly perfect because that are one or two little problems with the sound (no, Honour doesn't...

The Ten Commandments: The Musical (2006) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I wanted to see this but since I've rarely left Texas, I had to settle to get the movie. Val Kilmer is one of my favorite actors of all time. Adam Lambert is currently on American Idol and didn't know he was in the movie until I heard him sing "Is Anybody Listening". It goves me goosebumps. I love the...

The Ceremony of Innocence (Broadway Theatre Archive) (1970) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Here's another fine installment from the Broadway Theatre Archive. As usual, there are no extras on the disc, but in this case, the feature more than makes up for it."The Ceremony of Innocence," originally a play by Ronald Ribman, is presented here in a 1972 recording. There are a few liberties taken...

She Stoops to Conquer - Goldsmith / National Theatre (2009) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"She Stoops to Conquer" is a humorous study of human relationships. As in real life each person has multiple dimensions. Some people are chameleons and change color to suit their surroundings. Others are more comfortable with themselves and maintain a constant stripe. The interactions of these different...

The Mikado- Gilbert And Sullivan / Australian Opera (2008) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is possible the least spectacular of the Opera Australia Gilbert & Sullivan DVDs, possibly due to the fact that it is over 20 years old and now rather dated. Having said that, it is still a polished and enjoyable performance and ranks well compared to productions by most other companies, as...

Georges Bizet - Carmen / Peter Hall, Bernard Haitink, Maria Ewing, Barry McCauley, London Philharmonic, Glyndebourne Festival Opera (2005) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is not a "music professional's review". Carmen is theater, Carmen is about human nature, about jealousy, about life. Perhaps the most popular opera ever. It can be presented and performed in many different ways. This performance, this presentation is the best. Not just as an opera, but perhaps one...

And then the real...
