I, Madman

Come Back To Us, Jenny Wright!...
When I saw NEAR DARK, I remember being mesmerized by this young, talented, and yes, beautiful actress named Jenny Wright. Years later, I found her again in this film, I, MADMAN. She is again fantastic, as once again her character's coy, gentle nature shines through the dark horror around her. Ms. Wright plays Virginia, a woman obsessed w/ a gruesome novel about a murderous maniac who will stop at ...

Iron Eagle

Louis Gossett Jr., Jason Gedrick

Sony Pictures, 1999

Simple is better
It seems everyone reviewing Iron Eagle has seen and loves it. What I know is, it reminds me of simpler times. Cliched? Probably. I remember watching this with my sister as a kid. I love the whole thing and hopefully is as available in the future as it is now. The comparisons to Top Gun are unavoidable, like comparing the Stones to the Beatles. But, as it is with music comparisons, you can't look ...

GREAT MOVIE
I watched this movie with a group pf 4 year olds that I teach and they all LOVED the movie. It is a wholesome movie for kids, and it is also fun to watch for adults.

Into the Deep end of the Pool
I had never heard of this movie until it popped up as an Amazon recommendation, and I read purchaser reviews of it. I'm glad I was guided by those reviews. It's a well written and well acted little movie about a WWII UDT team accustoming themselves to a new leader, who replaces a very popular leader who died in action. Richard Widmark is great as the somewhat stiff and by the book new ...

Titanic

Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck

20th Century Fox, 2003

1953
This version is wonderful in all aspects! Sure, there are mistakes in the sinking and such, but the two leads are spectacular! I got so involved in their story that nearly forgot the inevitable. Barbara Stanwyk is so fantastic. She seems to be the definition of 'leading lady'. I've seen other reviews compare this version with the 1997 version, in my opinion both movies hold their own! If ...

"Old Classic"
This is an old classic sci-fi flick I remember as a child. I found myself checking the back of my parents neck for an alien implant..it really scared me as a child...watching it again as an adult, brings back memories... at which now I can laugh..great flick..

Father of the Bride (15th Anniversary Edition)

83 reviews
Steve Martin, Diane Keaton

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2005

A Great Family Film
In today's Hollywood climate, there are very few movies that appeal to an entire family. Children want to see Hannah Montana, teens want Harry Potter and superheroes, while adults want very R-rated drama. Thus, it is refreshing to see a movie that can be classified as a solid family film, which Father of the Bride very much is. While comedic in nature (how could it not be starring Steve ...

When the Master of Disaster returned...
Following up his 1972 disaster blockbuster "The Poseidon Adventure", Irwin Allen sat in the director's chair and traded in a sinking ship for a burning skyscraper. Why should someone still find interest in this film, some might ask? First, this film has an all-star cast that is one of the heaviest of its time. It is sometimes argued as to who is the "star" of this film, but the fact is, ...

The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2

Karl Malden, Robert Wagner

Paramount, 2007

Just a Terrific TV Police Show!
As a City of San Francisco aficionado, I was delighted to see the release of "Streets of San Francisco" and the DVD did not disappoint me. Karl Malden and Michael Douglas are terrific actors, the guest stars in the episodes are all believable and solid, there are some great visual shots of The City (not as many as in season two), and the writing and plotting are as good (if not better) than any ...

I Came and Got It
I love this movie and was so thrilled Amazon.com had it online on DVD. Frances Farmer shone so brightly in this film as did Edward Arnold and Walter Brennen. For film buffs this is a keeper and a must. Thank you Amazon.com.

Between Tosca and Butterfly
Back on the 11th of March in 1902, a 34-year-old Arturo Toscanini conducted a 29-year-old Enrico Caruso creating the student Federico in the premiere of GERMANIA by the 41-year-old Alberto Franchetti at La Scala. The following month, Caruso included two pieces from the new work in his very first recording sessions for Fred Gaisberg, and in subsequent years he re-recorded both of them. So ...

A Separate Peace

Remains True To The Essence Of The Story
First of all, be sure to read the John Knowles book first. It always helps to do so before watching a film adaptation of a classic story. As for the movie itself, most of it remains true to the novel. Considering it was shot around 2003, the teleplay remains truer to patriotism as opposed to the written version. (Listen to the stories of your grandfathers and uncles. Who would dare speak out ...

Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams

Universal Studios, 2004

This is Wulfgar calling......................
This is a Stallone movie! I have some Amazon Bros that have been talking about Stallone the past week and it made me remember this precious gem. In this Stallone is a cop in New York and his partner is Billy-Dee Williams. At first nothing all that great for action we get Stallone and Williams shooting at the bad guys that Bronson or Eastwood(had to mention them)would kill. Switch scene ...

THE MOUNTAIN with Spencer Tracy (Import Edition)(Adventure)

The Mountain - A Timeless Film Made in 1956
Without a doubt "The Mountain" made in 1956 is my all-time favorite film, mainly because of Spencer Tracy the all-time greatest Hollywood actor. There are many special qualities that this movie possesses which might not be appreciated after the first viewing. While watching notice that before any intros are displayed, the opening scene wastes little time showing a plane in distress which then ...

Crazy in Alabama

Melanie Griffith, David Morse

Sony Pictures, 2000

Crazy in Alabama - One of my favourite movies
"Crazy in Alabama" is one of the best films I've ever seen, combines with great ability two different stories, one of Civil Rights and other about Lucille, who killed her husband , put his head into a bag and went to Hollywood to become a TV star. I think Antonio Banderas directed this film perfectly and Melanie Griffith does one of her best movies. I watch this movie from time to time and I ...

......Semper Fidelis at its Best......
I happen to love this Marine film...it appealed to my Marine persona throughout the movie...it may have dwelled on the love interests in the Reserve Area at length, but the mud-Marines and their jargon was real and chippy...I thought Jimmy Gleason stole his scenes while on camera like the old pro he always was...the casting was superb...Bob Wagner and Marisa Pavan were perfectly cast as the young ...

Antonio Banderas, Woody Harrelson

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Offbeat, irreverent, and sometimes....... even funny
This film has been knocked down more times than Dominguez and Boudreau in the climatic final fight scene. Sure the story was a bit uneven, but I still liked this quirky buddy/road trip movie for its unexpected and offbeat take that includes a seamier side of professional boxing. Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson are likeable stars and I thought they played off each other very well. While ...
