How the Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll Generation nearly killed Hollywood...

+ A Glance at the Second Golden Age of Cinema

As a glorification, and explanation, of the wonderful 70's Hollywood industry, it's a great little documentary. Plenty of clips from films, interviews with major players, and a decent time line of the indies that left some indelible cultural marks on the country. Sadly the people glorifying this ...

John Lithgow, Joe Morton

20th Century Fox, 1995

An excellent overview of the history of American film

+ A must see...but maybe not a must own

+ A Unique Look at a Unique Man

Apart from all those jokes that people made about him fracturing of the English language, he was a determined and very interesting man. Like most of the old Hollywood moguls he liked things done his way, but in spite of that he developed an extraordinary talent for picking the right film to make. ...

Flesh and Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror3 reviews
Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing

Image Entertainment, 2004

Bloody Okay!

+ Classic Hammer

The documentary is interesting, of course, but it seems to be sort of a budget production, with archival material that ranges from acceptable to, well,... scans from cheap horror magazines. More, a lot of it appears to have been transferred from videotape. Considering that the Hammer movies ...

George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey4 reviews
Jean Arthur, Fred Astaire

Warner Home Video, 2004

Fine look at a brilliant director

George Stevens, Jr. pays loving tribute to his father in GEORGE STEVENS: A FILMMAKER'S JOURNEY. The documentary opens with a scene from Giant (1956) and quickly segues to a scene from Alice Adams (1935). Appropriately enough. Alice Adams was his first big feature and Giant was the next to ...
