A Bit Of Heaven In This Southern Madness
Being a sucker for a good box set, I have accumulated quite a few. You end up with some great DVDs, but also some titles that you might not have purchased on their own. This Tennessee Williams collection is one that I wholeheartedly recommend--each selection might not be a true classic, but each represents a significant part of Williams' lexicon and lore. Put together, they symbolize and honor ...

Myrna and William box set
I've only had the chance to see one of the movies in the box set, which is Manhatan Melodrama. Very good movie, good performances. If you love Myrna and William, then it's a sure must have. The box contains comedy, melodrama and thriller with one of the screen's most celebrated couple of actors. Don't miss it, as the movies are very rare!

The Three Lives of Thomasina

Patrick McGoohan, Susan Hampshire

Walt Disney Video, 2004

Very Quaint Movie
This is one of Disney's classic live action films and time has been kind to it. Although several times through out the movie I realized that a movie like this one could not be made now a days because of the animal abuse issues, I think that the movie got across the point of kindness to your animal friends. Not a movie for small children because of the semi-graphic depictions of animal abuse. ...

Fun Movie!
I love old movies, but this one is so much fun to watch! It has a great storyline and Cary Grant does an outstanding job of making it all believable. These were the good old days when folks were truly entertained and did not have to listen to a lot of four-letter words.

Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward

20th Century Fox, 2007

Great comedy with vibrant Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman and Joan Collins
This satiric look at 50s life in Putnam's Landing, NY is hilarious. A rocket trip to outer space, a reenactment of the Puritan Landings, Joan Collins trying to seduce Paul Newman, and you know he wantes Joan at times, many times. Joanne Woodward thowing TV Dinners into her wall oven for her children who are hollering all the time in front of a Sylvania TV with that awful white glow around it. On ...

Brilliant Ensemble Showcases Young Actresses Pounding the Pavement in a Classic Dramedy
Far more than George Cukor's vitriolic femme-extravaganza, The Women, this 1937 ensemble dramedy shows how vital women were during Hollywood's golden era, especially when they are not relegated to stoic wife roles or placed purely in adversarial positions. Following up on his 1936 screwball classic, My Man Godfrey, director Gregory LaCava guides a Grade-A cast made up primarily of fresh-faced ...

Mildred Pierce (Keepcase)

Joan Crawford, Jack Carson

Warner Home Video, 2005

Great film from Hollywood's Golden Era
This film is a gem from the Hollywood era. Joan Crawford delivers a terrific performance as Mildred Pierce, a middle-aged women desperately trying to provide for her daughters as her marriage collapses. Told mostly in flashbacks, the film opens with a man being shot in a fancy Southern California beach house. The police pick-up Mildred and start questioning her, since it's her 2nd husband who is ...

Good Or Bad, Garland's Talent Can't Be Ignored
This is the darnedest movie to rate. I usually don't judge musicals the same way that I judge other movies. I just rate their production value, since that's often the only reason to see a musical. (Who rates an Arnold Schwarzeneger movie for its screenplay?) But when I first saw "A Star Is Born" I had mixed opinions. Great acting, great directing, great screenplay (for what could be done with ...

Something Wicked This Way Comes
Start with the fact that it's a Ray Bradbury story done by Disney. Mingle a battle of good and evil with all the hopes and fears of humanity. Wrap this in fine settings and costumes. Top it off with the presence of Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce leading a very professional cast! The language is something that can tickle the ears: "By the pricking of my thumbs; Something wicked this way ...

How to Murder Your Wife

Jack Lemmon, Virna Lisi

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Smart, funny, yet makes you think again
A perfect Sunday morning movie, and one that is on my "best movies" list. The characters have been perfectly selected. When one looks around, one sees similar faces, with similar desires, problems and lives. Jack Lemmon portrays a character that many men relate to, admire, and perhaps long to be. His lifestyle is the perfect bachelor's lifestyle. Virna Lisi fits her role perfectly, her being ...

Curiously
Coming from director Alfred Hitchcock, MR. AND MRS. SMITH is a curiosity piece. Not fitting into any of the director's usual genres this comedy is a lot of fun. Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard make a great team. Pretty good scripting.

Warner Home Video, 2007

breezy film with beautiful music and song--and there's even Doris Day before she was a virgin !!!
Romance On The High Seas has great musical numbers, a plot to keep your attention--and we see the film debut of Doris Day. The plot moves along at a good pace; and the acting is rather good although I've still seen better. The action begins when Mrs. Elvira Kent (Janis Paige) suspects her husband Michael Kent (Don DeFore) of cheating on her since he can never celebrate their anniversary ...

No one escapes the Funhouse!
This movie is awesome. This movie defines exactly what horror was during the late 70's and early 80's. Tobe Hooper directed an instant classic with this one. The movie follows a small group of teens who decide to camp out one night inside the local carnival's funhouse ride. Once inside the ride they realize that the ride's operators are less than desirable. Now that they have become trapped ...
