Suddenly, my favorite
This is the most complex movie rendering of Carroll's classic, and one of the stranger ones. It's a 1966 BBC production in black and white, and done on a shoestring budget. As a result, there's just about nothing in the way of special effects - and certainly no animal-shaped costumes for the dormouse, white rabbit, and all the others. Instead, the characters simply dress in a deliberately ...

Steptoe and Son/Steptoe and Son Ride Again

FANTASTIC!!!!
I grew watching steptoe and son in the 70's. Family moved to the USA in 1979 and we always try to track down and keep in touch with t.v. shows that we remember. Monty Python, Carry on Movies, Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill, etc. My brother ordered this and frankly, I couldn't really remember much about this t.v. show as I was only 10 when we moved to the USA. My brother watched the first dvd and ...

My first love
When I was about 9 and first saw this on the Wonderful World of Disney I was utterly enchanted. It has hovered in my imagination for over 40 years, and now with a lovely DVD transfer I can check to see just how shameful and naive my childish infatuation was. And I can honorably report that Thomasina is almost as good as I remember! I watched this for the first time with my nine year old ...

Never gets old
Before there was Truth or Dare-Madonna, there was a Hard Day's Night. Based on the observations of the Beatles real lives with a bit of plot thrown in, this fun little movie has some great lines and wonderful songs.

Inside story
What a great piece of film. I have to watch it during the day, because it gets me too charged up at night so that I can't sleep. Getting the producers and directors views on working so closely with the 4 are riveting. John has always been my favorite, and their are a lot of candid moments with him. This film shows they were/are human. LG

Castaways
In Search of the Castaways I'm a big fan of Hayley Mills and Maurice Chevalier. This is family entertainment. A couple of excitable moments. But this is a G rated film and no one is hurt -- they actually try to insert a little humor. It was nice to sit down and watch a movie and actually come away smiling.

Hitchcock Genius, Criterion Perfection
A glittering restoration of a classic masterpiece, it belongs on the shelf of any Hitchcock enthusiast, beside the equally pristine Criterion "The Lady Vanishes." One can only hope for future titles, such as "The Lodger" and "Blackmail," to make it into these capable technicians' hands. The Master would have been pleased.

Holiday on the Buses
Wilfrid Brambell, Bob Grant

Televista, 2007

Starring Reg Varney, Bob Grant, Doris Hare, Anna Karen, Stephen Lewis, Kate Williams and Wilfrid Brambell. A small matter of three crashed buses, one piece of mutilated council property and a written off car belonging to the Bus Depot Manager adds up to

STRONG HINT OF THINGS TO COME FROM HITCHCOCK
-----*- PROBABLY THE ZENITH OF HITCHCOCK'S BRITISH PRODUCTIONS -----*- FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Don't be put off by the first five minutes! This is one sneaky thriller. At first it seems so slow and trite, almost ancient in its context, until suddenly, the momentum and urgency really builds-up. We see the first brillant execution on film by Hitchcock of the wrong man, fugitive on the run with a ...

BEFORE THERE WAS "NORTH BY NORTHWEST" THERE WAS "THE 39 STEPS" !!!!
"THE 39 STEPS" DISPLAYS STRONG HINTS OF THINGS TO COME FROM HITCHCOCK BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER --- I strongly RECOMMEND the CRITERION RELEASE of this film for the following reasons; *1]- It is a cleaned and repaired print of this 71 year old epic classic and there are scenes on this DVD that are hard to see [very dark - blurred] and with rather distorted sound. The Criterion edition does ...
