Christabel (1989) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While the edits in this DVD version of a 1989 miniseries aired on Masterpiece Theater in the US aren't blatant, to anyone familiar with the original version, they are striking by their absence. And the material that has been cut makes the plot much richer without detracting from the suspense of the plot.The...

Waiting for Godot Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!". That phrase, said by one of the main characters of "Waiting for Godot", somehow sums up the whole plot of this short tragicomedy in two acts. Strange??. You can bet on that!!!. So much that a well-known Irish critic said of it "nothing happens,...

Girls Town (1959) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Was this bad-girls-in-reform-school flick made in an attempt to cash in on the Academy Award-winning "Boys' Town" or did the studio just happen to have a few dozen nun's habits in their wardrobe department? Tubby, dewlapped crooner Mel Torme frames busty bottle-blonde bombshell bad-girl Silver Morgan...

Riot (1990) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Without a doubt, this DVD contains an excellent playlist of Bad Religion songs. Unfortunately, the audio is disappointing. The vocals are often drowned out by the instruments. When I first watched it, I was slightly disgruntled; however, during my second viewing, I turned up the volume and found myself...

Solas - Live (2000) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This DVD is a recording of a live concert by Solas, truly one of the most accomplished of the traditional Irish instrumental bands. Energetic reels and jigs are interspersed with tender ballads. Karan Casey's plaintive, heartfelt vocals are a wonderful counterpoint to the viruosity of the rest of the...

KARAGIOZIS ANCIENT GREEK SHADOW THEATRE Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This DVD was a great disappointment! It was nothing more than a slide show of random karagiozi images with unrelated music playing in the background. I was under the impression that I was purchasing a series of different Karagiozi skits...not so at all :-( It was definitely not worth the $30.00. It is...

The Firesign Theatre's All-Day Matinee: Martian Space Party and The Yolks of Oxnard (1972) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)So, I exaggerated. I have not seen the All Day Matinee as a DVD, but don't shoot me just yet, because I HAVE seen both of these video productions, Martian Space Party and The Case of the Missing Yolks, on VHS. They are extremely humorous and differ from the video Everything You Know Is Wrong, because...

The Masterpiece: A Toymaker's Dream Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I first saw this performed live at Victory Christian Center in Tulsa; where it originated. I then saw it every year following on Easter Sunday until they stopped performing it (wanting to now focus on other performances.) I bought the videocassete at one of the shows, and have since worn it out watching...

No Eres Tu Soy Yo (No Sos Vos Soy Yo) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The basic plot of the movie has already been reviewed so this is geared toward the Spanish teacher. Javi is probably 20 years older than 1st bride, Maria, or his second bride, Julia, both in their 20s. His rants about women are going to be beyond the experience of high schoolers. While older viewers...

Pilobolus Dance Theatre's Dance in America: Monkshood's Farewell, Ocellus, Ciona, & Untitled (1997) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have yet to see Pilobolus live, but I know from their video alone that they are one of my favorite dance companies. Supple, flowing bodies doing things you never knew were possible... tricks on the eye.... gorgeous soundscapes... interviews with the dancers themselves... if you like modern dance which...
