Peter and the Wolf (1996) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a musician I mourn the loss of music as an auditory art. But the fact remains that music videos have changed the way we listen to and learn music, so we must work with it. This video is a wonderful way to introduce children to classical music and the orchestra without them thinking that it's boring,...
Running Scared (1986) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Before the Lethal Weapon and Die Hard series, there was Running Scared. Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal turn in a wisecracking performance right up there with Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Bruce Willis. Two of Chicago's top plain clothes detectives, Ray Hughes (Hines) and Danny Costanzo (Crystal) have...
Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story (2007) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This documentary on the Stax soul powerhouse is very well done. Fine mix of rare performance clips and interviews that puts the story in full perspective. Those who have seen the documentary on PBS may be disappointed in the small number of extra features (just a rehearsal cut of the surviving MGs, William...
Creation (2009) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have a standing rule not to pay more than $23 for any Blu-ray movie (no need to encourage Hollywood marketeers). That said, I broke that rule for this movie after hearing an interview with the writer and producer on NPR (National Public Radio) then discovered that this disc was worth every penny. One...

Peter Pan (Special Edition) (1953) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I can't add anything to the praise for this film. If you love Disney films, this is considered one of the classics. I just wish to briefly comment on the criticism of the lack of a widescreen version. The first widescreen film, The King and I, was released in 1956. Previous to this all films were full...
Teach Me Tonight (1999) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you are looking for best screenplay candidates, thisprobably isn't it. If you are looking for hot, soft core sex withattractive actresses, this is probably more up your alley. Judy Thompson is gorgeous and seems more believable in her sex scenes than pretty much any other actress I've ever seen on...
Short Circuit 2 (1988) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just watched the DVD today, and I have to say it's EXCELLENT! The picture quality is EXCELLENT, and so is the sound. I'm really impressed with this DVD. Sure, it doesn't have many extras (just a few "bonus trailers" and very short featurette), but the quality of the DVD itself is astounding.I'm glad...
Georgia O'Keeffe (2009) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a made-for-TV movie which has now been released by Sony Pictures on DVD in 2010. It won multiple awards as a TV performance. Joan Allen BECOMES Georgia O'Keefe, the way George Scott became General Patton--I think now I will always see her as Georgia O'Keefe. Jeremy Irons gives a great performance...
40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've found the greater amount of movies disappoint me, but Josh Hartnett has proven himself to be one of the rare actors of Hollywood, who takes risks and can laugh at himself. This movie was upbeat, snappy writing, although not as hyperactive as "The Gilmore Girls" and moved at a great pace, not too...

Alice in Wonderland (2007) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Bravo to Subversive Cinema for finally bringing this gem to DVD. And to Amazon for making it widely available. This DVD contains both the X-rated and the XXX version of this infectiously happy little porno. A true classic from the Golden Age of porn.This Alice is for adults only. The story is straight...
One Special Night (1999) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Julie Andrews and James Gardner are at their very best in this charming holiday tale of two lonely people finding their way to each other after the loss of their respective spouses to Alzheimer's and heart disease. Julie plays a fiesty surgeon who values her independence. James plays a construction foreman...
Cat in the Hat: Tales About Tails Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Since "The Cat in the Hat" first appeared on PBS, my boys have been hooked. It is such a simple show but has fun characters, colors, and rhyming. This DVD is just about an hour long and contains five episodes. I love that know we can watch "The Cat in the Hat" anytime or bring the DVD in the car with...
RV (Widescreen Edition) (2006) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Okay, I actually loved this movie...I thought it was funny and entertaining and just what I needed to see, something pointless and yet does the trick perfectly. You can always rely of Robin Williams for that. No, it's not the smartest comedy but it's not like we thought we were walking into 'Fargo' people,...
Tarzan, The Ape Man (2010) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you grew up in the early 80s, it was hard to ignore Bo Derek. She was everywhere. On talk shows, posters and magazines - and mostly unclothed. These two films represent her true arrival on the scene. She had made a minor splash as the gal who gets her leg bit off by "Orca," but who can rememeber a...

L'Auberge Espagnole (The Spanish Apartment) (2003) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the tradition of many French films, L'Auberge Espagnole is a warm,well written, coming of age and semi autobiographical movie that is guaranteed to stay with you long after you watch it.Cedric Klapish does a wonderful job in telling a story that at first look does not seem to say much, but hides many...
A Far Off Place (1993) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A Far Off Place is the sequel to the bestseller by Laurens Van der Post, 'A Story Like The Wind'. Hunters Drift is a farm in Matabeleland (today part of Zimbabwe) It is the home of Pierre Paul Joubert known affectionately by all who live there as 'Ouwa', where European, Matabele and Bushmen live in harmony...
