Bound for Glory 23 reviews

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
bound for glory
An amazing story that entertains yet reminds us that the us wasn't the richest nation: it was a nation of poor farmers and factory workers that the rich (and the us government)ignored during the depression. It gives you a true background of the US.

Two thumbs up from a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer
Being a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer myself I find this film hysterical. The first time I saw it, in fact, was while in Peace Corps at a training session with fellow volunteers. We couldn't stop laughing the entire time! It's just ridiculously overdone - and wonderful because of it :)
Sure, it's campy and the jokes are predictable, but it was never meant to be a high-brow film. The jokes ...

Don't listen to the others - this is an excellent film & true historically
Do not REPEAT do not listen to the people who gave bad reviews to this film. The movie is very fine (though not without a few weaknesses - even Kubrick's movies had weaknesses), a true case of realistic historical filmmaking by a noted director.
1) To those who found the film offensive - well, I guess you found Shindler's List offensive. There's nudity, torture, excessive emotions, etc. ...

Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde 1 review
Bernie Casey, Rosalind Cash
Blax DVD
Not bad. Quite funny.
This is a funny/horror type blaxploitation spinoff of the Dr. Jekyll and Hyde. Casey protrays a respectable Black doctor trying to help his sickest patients only to come up with a disaster chemical formula that turns him into a "haint" wandering aimlessly scaring innocent potential victims. Check out that scene where the nurse, in doing her normal duties in a patients' room, (the hospital is ...

It was great fun revisiting this classic. I wanted to have a version for my younger adult children and my grandkids who missed it on television in the seventies. What a remarkable story! Brilliantly told on the screen...

Fun with Dick and Jane24 reviews
George Segal, Jane Fonda
Sony Pictures, 2003
Funny, funny film!
This is one of the funniest films to come out of Hollywood. Fonda does one of her finest jobs. This film is better than the remake with Jim Carrey.

I really like this movie!!!
I've always enjoyed this movie, and pull it out to watch every few years! Enjoyable from start to finish EVERY TIME!! But as I watched it the other night, I had to cringe at the frequent use of the word "FA*GOT" when refering to a couple gay characters, and the N-word tossed about liberally. (I guess those were the times, but I've always found it ironic that one culture- so incensed by ...

Just like the one word title "Glitch!", there's only one word to describe this movie, hilarious! Nico Mastorikas did it again with this great film, the humor and antics are priceless, a must buy!

Lost in the Stars1 review
Brock Peters, Melba Moore
Kino Video, 2003
Lost In The Stars Tries to Find Itself
Based on the famous "Cry the Beloved Country", "Lost in the Stars" does its best to invoke the passion and outrage of the former, but only does so to an extent.
The songs are so-so, the directing so-so, some things are better off left as straight drama.

THE NIGHTINGALE is one of the all-time greatest episodes of FAERIE TALE THEATRE, featuring great performances, expert direction by Ivan Passer and a heartbreaking musical score.
The Emperor of Cathay (Mick Jagger) lives in a porcelain palace with his courtiers completely cut off from his people. When he hears about a magical bird called the Nightingale and it's exquisite song, he demands an ...
