Son of The Morning Star [VHS] 50 reviews
Gary Cole, Rosanna Arquette
Republic Pictures, 1998
Very Over Due on DVD or Blue Ray
Hokahay!
Not much I can add to what has already been stated about this movie. One of the very best and I still watch it converted. Still not the quality a studio would send out on DVD / Blue Ray hopefully. I agree with several that this is way over due to be in DVD form. Sadly I have been waiting since 2004. Get with it Republic or the Gods that decide which is on dvd form. Time to move it and ...

Separate But Equal [VHS]27 reviews
Sidney Poitier, Burt Lancaster
Republic Pictures, 1996
Seperate But Equal
Separate But Equal
This should be required viewing for all introductory Political Science, Government or US history students. The Brown decision comes to life on screen, including the thoughts and postions of justices reluctant to overturn the Plessy desicion. Justices Frankfurter's and Reed's comments provided provacative fuel for intellectual debate in today's race charged society.

Naughty Marietta [VHS]18 reviews
Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy
MGM (Warner), 1998
I wish I could rate this movie 10 stars!
Naughty Marietta, winning the Oscar for Best Sound Recording in 1935, is the crown jewel of the Eddy/MacDonald films, holding a special place in anyone's heart that has ever had the pleasure of seeing it. It is esteemed as one of the best-loved operettas of all time, and that's saying a lot about this film. Made in 1935, and starring Hollywood's `Singing Sweethearts', Nelson Eddy and Jeanette ...

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (6 Piece Collector's Box Set) [VHS]1675 reviews

A&E Home Video, 1996
Blu-ray Review
This has been my favorite movie ever since the first time I saw it back in '96. I just received the Blu-ray version yesterday and I have to say...BEAUTIFUL! I compared the picture quality of the DVD and Blu-ray side by side and I am abundantly pleased with the Blu-ray. The colors just pop and if it's possible, I actually love this movie even more now that it's not all washed out in beige! If the ...

The Great Waltz (A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Masterpiece Reprint) [VHS] 7 reviews
Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravey
MGM (Warner), 1998
Hollywood operetta at its best
Take the story of a man torn between two women, add the music of Johann Strauss and the scenery of 1840's Vienna and you have The Great Waltz, an irresistible cream puff of a movie. Miliza Korjus-rhymes with gorgeous and she is-portrays the fictional opera singer Carla Doner in a delicious performance that verges on May West camp, murmuring most of her lines through a perpetual full-toothed grin ...

Christmas wouldn't be the same without Bing and the gang. I bought this to round out a gift basket for my hubby. We had a great time in our Christmas movie marathon on Christmas day. Thanks for providing great memories.

Within Reason ~ The Perfect Ingenue
When I talk with people about prejudice. I remind them that blind rejection of someone who could become a very good friend is inane and self-defeating. The same can be applied to those "modernists" who reject the innocent and great movies of the 1930s to the 50s and even some 1960s, because "they ain't with it, man." They'll never know some great joys such as the grand musicals such as the ...

Blu-Ray 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition
This is a great set! The overall picture quality is excellent (expect a little graininess in a few areas, though, mostly in the backgrounds), and the included extras are really fun. This review specifically regards the 70th anniversary Blu-Ray box set with the book, the watch, etc... The only complaint I have is with the box itself. The box's "hinge" is simply a couple of plies of laminated ...

Truly Madly Deeply [VHS]87 reviews
Juliet Stevenson, Jenny Howe
Touchstone / Disney, 1994
Truly Madly Deeply Wonderful
This film is amazing. I have never had a film pull at the heart strings the way that this film did, and I am not a person to be made emotional with a film easily. The acting was wonderful, and Alan Rickman, as always, was stellar. I had a slightly different take of this film than a few of the reviews that I read. *Warning! Spoilers* The way that I took Jamie's fussiness and moments of agitation ...

Walt Disney Video, 1995
Anne of Green Gables
Being a Reiki Master and Teacher I am always looking for ways to teach the concept of Manifestation of your desires. Anne of Green Gables LIVES the concept. Being able to live with the joy of "imagining" how puffed sleeves will make her feel, is an amazing description of the "art of manifestation."
Anne's ability to "imagine" herself out of any negative situation or to "imagine" the ...

Sometimes a Great Notion DVD Now Please
I saw this movie when I was a kid and read the book a few years later in college. Enjoyed both. Got my hands on the VHS tape about 20 years ago and my VCR finally ate it a few weeks ago. I've been pining for the DVD for a long time.
I related to the movie in part because I mostly grew up in an Oregon mill town and did part of first grade on the southern Oregon coast. The characters in the ...

Best Movie ever! I love it so much that I don't want the movie to end...
I first read the book when I was still a college student in China. The story was so beautiful and I remember that I finished reading the story within one day, did not even get time to eat because I could not stop reading. It was such a touching, romantic and sad story and made me crying and crying.
Now 15 years later, I was read the story in English again. The story in English is just equally ...

The Ten Commandments [VHS]378 reviews
Judith Anderson, Anne Baxter
Paramount, 1992
"BEHOLD HIS MIGHTY HAND." A Spectacle For The Ages.
Cecil B. DeMille's final movie is his greatest achievement, a remake of the first half of his epic "The Ten Commandments," originally filmed in 1923 (which is included in this 3-Disc Collector's Edition in its entirety). With an all-star cast, authentic locations and a staggering amount of costumes, this movie is film-making at its greatest (though "Gone With The Wind" is also an example of ...
