A Cult Classic
Not really being familiar with the work of John Carpenter or the acting ability of Kurt Russell, I guess it can safely be said that I went into this movie blind. That, in many ways can be a good thing. I went in with little to no expectations and had no hopes about what I wanted to see. Little did I know that this movie would shock me beyond belief as to how genuinely good it was. Sure it was ...

The Outlaw and His Wife (1918) / Victor Sjostrom (1981)

KINO INTERNATIONAL, 2008

Sjostrom's Classic Saga Finally on DVD.
It has taken Kino International several years to make THE OUTLAW AND HIS WIFE available on DVD (the VHS version first appeared in 1989) but it has been worth the wait. Although it is essentially the same source material (the Swedish Film Institute's 1986 restoration) as the video, the picture is marginally sharper in detail and the contemporary modernistic score by Torbjorn Iwan Lindquist sounds ...

Make Camp...
When Bo Derek emerged from Blake Edwards's hit 10 as a cornrow-sporting sex symbol, she and her Svengali-like mentor John Derek--who'd been, at one time, a wooden movie pinup himself--decided that together they'd "create" Bo's subsequent starring vehicles. This collaboration resulted in a trio of Bad Movies To Love, including the 1981 Tarzan, the Ape Man. "Produced" by Bo and "directed and ...

Benny Hill Complete and Unadulterated - The Hill's Angels Years, Set Four (1978-1981)

A&E Home Video, 2006

Benny Hill, comic genius - why should anyone criticise him?
As a Brit who followed Benny's great TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s, it pains me to see how the Great Man is so poorly treated by the country that he brought so much laughter to. No reruns on TV's UK Gold... no anniversary tributes... no specials celebrating his fantastic humour... nothing. Not even this DVD set, which is only available in the USA! It's as if the whole establishment is ...

You can sell those tapes now.
Over the years, I bought all those World Series videos for the Dodgers that now go for $50-$100 apiece on auctions, Amazon and elsewhere. Now they are all available in all their glory on this two-disc DVD set. No special music or extras here (which would be welcome), just the tapes transfered to DVD with narration by Vin Scully throughout except for the 1988 Series narrated by Bob Costas ...

I bought it for Jamerson....
Ok, i'm not gonna lie-i bought this video because James Jamerson playing live is something that i really wanted to see. Jamerson appears on "What's Goin On/What's Happenin Brother"-i saw clips on YouTube, and knew i had to have it. Seeing Jamerson actually play and hear how he developes the line live compared to the studio cut was great. The rest of the DVD: The first several live ...

Laughed until I couldn't breathe!!!
This is the funniest movie ever. I enjoy the way it "offends" absolutely everyone...black/white, rich/poor, male/female, Republican/Democrat, fat/skinny, it is just the greatest. The humor is sophomoric but when I want to watch a comedy, I can let go and be a bit over-the-top ridiculous! It is one of the best comedies and I watch it at least once a week. Yes, the premise is unbelievable, but do ...

An Incredible Film
"Diva" An Incredible Film Amos Lassen It is absolutely amazing to see "Diva" and to realize that it was made in 1981. It is stunning to watch and is an exercise in what style is all about. The plot is complex and unique. A young Parisian mail courier is perfectly content with his somewhat offbeat lifestyle, his love of opera and his friends. He especially loves one American diva who ...

'SOME BODY' & Lots Of Soul To Boot!
This '81 remake of the boxing classic with Leon Isaac Kennedy in the lead role was long overdue for DVD release. Why we even get Muhammad Ali to climb onboard for several scenes. The ring legend is a natural here & my guess is he offered his expertise as well in making the fight sequences come off as realistic as possible. L.I.K. has always been linked with this genre- witness the release of two ...

CLOSED CAPTIONED
EXCELLENT SET. ALL THE BEST ADJECTIVES MUST BE ADDRESSED TO ANYTHING PROPOSED HERE, BUT AS A STRANGER I HAVE BOUGHT THE SET BECAUSE WE ARE INFORMED IT IS 'CLOSED CAPTIONED' AND I AM TOLD IT MEANS IT HAS SUBTITLES. THE SET I RECEIVED HAS NO SUBTITLES. NOT AT ALL. I AM TOLD THE SAME SET RELEASED IN U.K. HAS INDEED SUBTITLES. I HAVE WRITTEN TO BBC AMERICA BUT I GOT NO ANSWER WHICH IS TOO BAD ... ...

Smokin' MTB
I must have seen MTB a dozen times, back in the day. They were always one of my favorites. This DVD will give you the best representation of what the MTB was like, and what they could put out in concert. I miss Tommy in this show, but Franklin Wilkie is an extremely capable replacement. Toy, Tommy, and now, George, will always be remembered!! If this DVD doesn't get your toes tappin', nothing ...

Great Movie with a GREAT Soundtrack- perfect for V-day!
This is a classic movie. It's entertaining for both guys and girls and would be a cute to give as part of a Valentine's Day gift. My husband loves sports and enjoys watching the DVD, but I kept the soundtrack for me! Win/win!

1 star movie get's 5 star treatment
I give this movie 5 stars because the songs are infectious and catchy and the if you have a sense of humour and love subtlety then this early 80's musical is for you. By the time this movie was released in September 1981, movie musicals had almost stopped being made. With the exception of the awefull Grease 2 (filmed the same year but released in 1982) and that's why. This has NOTHING TO ...

Cherry Red, 2008

Could have been 5 stars if....
....the producers had not insisted on adding "special effects" to the concert footage. And, is it too much to ask to have the band member interviews and other addtional footage inserted IN BETWEEN THE LIVE SONGS AND NOT DURING THE SONGS! This IS a great performance by one of my favorite 70s rock bands. But the "enhancements" by the producers are a distraction and that's too bad.

Standing Room Only

Classic Tennis Match
Although the 1980 Wimbledon Final between Borg and McEnroe is more famous, this match is a classic in its own right. Top quality tennis of contrasting styles, superb understated commentary, extremely clear, vivid picture. And since McEnroe always behaved himself when he played Borg out of respect for Borg, it's not the behavior but the beauty of McEnroes's tennis, that finally takes center ...

Enchanting
Before watching this, put aside your critical eye and relax so you can be carried along with the magic. It is, as the other reviewers have said, beautifully done. But you watch this opera to be enchanted - let it happen. It starts with the overture - the camera takes you to the beautiful opera house, past the poster announcing the opera and sweeps you along with the children who are flooding ...
