Preminger's most famous film, and one that holds up extremely well today...
I've been watching the entire Otto Preminger catalog lately, and I got around to seeing what is arguably his most famous film. Seeing it again makes me realise that it's a masterpiece of tension, performances, dialogue, and cinematography. There is so much to like about this film. Nothing here in the trial or the characterisations is present in black and white (there's even a dialogue by ...

Batman Beyond - The Movie

Will Friedle, Kevin Conroy

Warner Home Video, 1999

totally BEYOND!
I can not express how much I love this DVD. I'm sure alot has been said about this DVD / Series. So I'll get to the point. This is NOT for kids, its totally a PG13 genre. On this DVD you get 2 things: #1- 'The Movie' which is basically a full hour or so, to ease you into the new world and explaining of how the NEW Batman is reborn and takes you into a very cool emotional ride till the end. ...

NOBODY'S RIGHT WHEN EVERYBODY'S WRONG
I first saw this film in 1961, and for my money it's probably the most realistic ever.Here's one; this reviewer can actually smell the grime as it passes through the screen. The indescribable stench of an old pool hall, the grit of a bus terminal, where your next cup of coffee may be your last, the sleazy bar that never seems to close, the self named bums who inhabit such places are all a part ...

Where The Boys Are DVD
Even though many stars were in this movie, I especially liked Dolores Hart, she was my favorite. This movie is a classic!

Turner Home Ent, 2006

Great Movie
This is one of my all time favorite "war" movies. The historical accuracy is pretty good, the action scenes are intense but not too over the top, and the acting is excellent. Both Sam Elliott and Gary Busey are perfectly cast; Elliott as the Arizona Sheriff turned Rough Rider Captain and Busey as the aged and slightly mad General "Fightin' Joe" Wheeler. I loved the inclusion of historically ...

Barbra Streisand: The Way We Were
Grammy, Emmy, Academy Award and Tony winner Barbra Streisand was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for her role in this 'Perfect' movie. What a performance, what a great movie. The movie has a political edge to it ... such as the 2008 Presidential Primary race, where Hillary Clinton earned more votes than any of her rivals, and earned 311 Electoral votes, to her Party's presumptive ...

what about "The Complete Epic"?
I have been waiting for "The Complete Epic 1902-1959" to be released on DVD for years. And now I want it on Blu-Ray. This isn't it. I'm talking about the 1981 VHS release of the first two films combined into one, in chronological order with additional scenes. Godfather II, as everyone knows, contains flashbacks which don't necessarily add to the narrative. Tell the story in the order it takes ...

Batman-The Movie..........
I knew, at some point, I'd be getting around to reviewing this movie. Batman-The Movie is a 1966 spin-off film of the Batman television series. It was the first full-length theatrical adaptation of the DC Comics character. It's directed by series director Leslie H. Martinson(PT 109, Rescue From Gilligan's Island) and stars: Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Lee ...

Doc Hollywood's small town
Do you know the name of the charming town the movie was filmed in? In the movie, the town is named Grady, SC. However, the movie was actually filmed in Micanopy, FL, the oldest inland-town in Florida, and as much an old southern town as you will ever find anymore. Its houses on the main street are still like in the movie and in the beginning of last century. Big live oaks form canopies over the ...

Elvis Presley, Ann-Margret

Warner Home Video, 2007

Impressive, But Only A First Step
This is one of the most impressive DVD's I've ever seen. The picture and sound quality are absolutely stunning. During the musical numbers you really feel you're right there with the band. With all due respect to Elvis, however, it would be nice if the studios gave the Blu-ray treatment to some more legitimate musicals such as WEST SIDE STORY or SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, not to mention ...

Style, Grace and Dancing
Ginger was brilliantly effective. She made everything work for her. Actually, she made things very fine for the both of us and she deserves most of the credit for our success". --Fred Astaire "I adore the man. I always have adored him. It was the most fortunate thing that ever happened to me, being teamed with Fred: he was everything a little starry-eyed girl from a small town ever dreamed ...

Fangs for the Memories
George Hamilton is the last of the great Draculas. I didn't care for the Frank Langela remake, or the Klaus Kinsky remake of Nosferatu Eine Symphone des Grauens as Nosferatu Phantom der Nacht. It's gotten steadily worse with Gary Oldman and Mark Warren as Dracula and William DaFoe as Max Schreck (a very real actor from the Max Reinhardt troupe that produced Conrad Veidt and Paul Weggener. ...

Warren Beatty, Julie Christie

Paramount Pictures, 1999

One of my favorites
No matter how many years go by, no matter how many times I've seen this movie in both VHS and DVD, it remains one of my top 3 feel good movies of all time (along with Cousins and My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Excellent performances by all. The chemistry is special, and I'm a sucker for a real happy ending with a lesson. When I'm down, this is guaranteed to lift my spirit and make me smile.

Almost Heroes

Chris Farley, Matthew Perry

Turner Home Ent, 2005

A real treasure
This movie is one of my absolute favorite movies. It is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. This movie stars Chris Farley and Matthew Perry who, it turns out, make a hilarious comic duo. The movie is about two men and their crew who try to beat Lewis and Clark to the pacific ocean. The cast in this movie is great. I have seen this movie well over a dozen times and it still ...

Hopefully A Tease For A Third Collection.......
An excellent way to round out one's collection of these additional gems, given the right-on selection of such entertaining fare. Flynn himself may have been disappointed that the collection didn't contain more of his latter-year dramatic work, for which he received his best reviews, but marketers may be reserving those for a third collection. If a third collection is planned, I hope that, ...

Essential Ornithology
Some time after Unforgiven in the 90s I began to revise my thoughts about Clint. I had been used to him being the prototype of the mindless wordless macho or the rightwing law and order guy. Hard to take him seriously. Then he became somebody else. I heard that he had made a film about Charlie Parker in the late 80s, but I never found that one. Well, now my daughter found it for me somewhere in ...

Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly

riveting dramatic classic
What a treat! Grace Kelly without glamour and Bing Crosby not just a smooth baritone...great story... great performances and a healthy dose of the crooner's mellow tones... recommended highly... can't look away...don't miss it!

The end of the trilogy
I had to get this movie because I own Godfather I and II. I liked Godfather III, but I wasn't as thrilled as I was with the previous movies. I think that because it was so long between the second and third movies had a real negative effect on the third installment. I'm glad that I got it, to complete the trilogy, but it was out shined by the other two. But, it is a decent installment that ...
