West Side Story [VHS] 299 reviews
Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer
MGM (Video & DVD), 1998
Great Classic
I remember as a kid living in New York in the 70's waiting anxiously for the day they were going to show WSS on TV. Back then there weren't a lot of hispanics on TV and you took what you could get. Yes Maria and 'Nardo weren't played by actual "puertoriquens" , so what? It's actually the story that counts. Does every actor and actress that play Romeo and Juliet have to be Italian? In short,no.

Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier
Star Classics, 1990
Trust no one
Michael Caine is a man with two faces...really. See how he fools everyone including his daughter. I am very bias though...to me Michael Caine can do no wrong when it comes to his spy movies...I LOVE THEM ALL. I Hope he does a Harry Palmer film soon...his fans continue to hope and pray.

The Chipmunk Adventure [VHS] 166 reviews
Ross Bagdasarian Jr., Janice Karman
Universal Studios, 1998
One of the best children's cartoons ever
I recently purchased this movie for my little brother (who just turned 21, by the way) as a Xmas present because it was our favorite movie when we were children. We both still love the movie and he's apparently already watched over a dozen times since receiving it. The chipmunks are at their best, and while some of the dialogue and references may be difficult for smaller children to understand, ...

Mandingo [VHS]75 reviews
James Mason, Susan George
Paramount, 1998
Classic DVD
The DVD was of good video quality. The story was interesting and in lightning. If you are interested in American history and slavery, as well as the direct relations between slave and master not spoken of and less written about, than this is a must see movie.You will not be disappointed.

Sudden Terror [VHS]7 reviews
Mark Lester, Lionel Jeffries
Excellent "boy who cried wolf" thriller!
Superbly crafted; very well acted and edited action thriller directed by John Hough; filmed in the summer of 1969 on the picturesque Mediterranean island of Malta and released in 1970. The then 11 years old Mark Lester plays a little boy called Ziggy who lives in a lighthouse with his grandfather (Lionel Jeffries) and older sister (Susan George) and who is frequently prone to telling tall tales ...

Bull Durham [VHS]98 reviews
Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
Pretty good DVD if no Blu-Ray available
This is a classic movie, but it isn't available on Blu Ray as of this writing. The transfer is better than okay. One forgets the language in those 80's movies!

Today's sequels stink. Karen Black and Charlton Heston (R.I.P.) make this one work. John Cacavas wrote a good score as well.

Die Screaming Marianne [VHS] 7 reviews
Susan George, Barry Evans
Image Entertainment, 2001
Best Pete Walker I've Seen
I have to disagree with the other reviewers here and praise this film. Maybe part of the reason I got so much out of it was that I wasn't expecting much and got pleasantly suprised. I wasn't expecting much because I'd recently seen a couple other of Walker's films (House of Whipcord and another) and thought they were completely without artistic merit. But this one is really quite a good film. ...

Confusing!!
Recovering from an auto accident and got hooked on the Batman animated series. Have all three volumes. Saw the review in Wizard magazine where they listed BAS, Superman and JL in the top 10 cartoons of all times. They were right. The BAtman series dark/art deco artwork, the plots... all beautiful and targeted for adults. However, I am having a hard time following up on the other works of ...
