The One-Armed Swordsman (1967) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jimmy Wang Yu starred in many Shaw Bros. swordplay films in the 1960s, but it was THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN (1967), directed by the prolific Chang Cheh, that put him on the map as the leading action star of Hong Kong cinema at the time and shifted the direction of HK sword films to a harder-edged, bloodier...

Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (1990) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Akira Kurosawa's dreams are better than mine. If this is what he saw when he closed his eyes, then I can understand how from that mind sprang the Seven Samurai and the rest."Dreams" is maybe the most personal, most "Japanese" of Kurosawa's films, and along with that it is perhaps the most difficult one...

The Silver Stallion Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read the book many years ago in 6th grade and it is still one of my all-time favorites. Unfortunately, it is out of print and very hard to find, even in Australia. This movie follows the main story line of the book, but from a more human viewpoint. It chronicles the writing of the book with scenes...

Shogun Assassin (1980) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Shogun Assassin" is a great film. Much "controversy" has arisen over the years regarding this film having been cobbled together from two other films in the Lone Wolf series. I think that what has been achieved is an extremely entertaining, fast-paced piece of action. By eliminating non-essential story...

The Shadow of the Tower (1972) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I remember this series on its original transmission and repeat. It was surprisingly long (13 episodes) - twice the number of episodes for The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1969/70) (6) and Elizabeth R (1970/1) (6) - both of which were much lauded at the time and remain classics in the output of BBC Drama...

Destination Earth: Alien Invaders (1950) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The program itself is excellent and I found myself watching the entire trailer collection in one sitting. Quality better than expected also. However, Passport (a company I have never liked) has not the company name but the DVD title "Destination Earth: Alien Invaders" superimposed in the lower right...

Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical (1974) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm suspecting that there are two types of people who are approaching this DVD, a filmed version of the stage production of "Jekyll & Hyde". One, someone familiar with the show--perhaps saw it and liked it or has the soundtrack--and wants to check out this variation. Or two, someone discovering it...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Salem Witch Trials" is a compelling 2003 CBS mini-series that featured many familiar and veteran actors and for the most part, stayed true to the historical events that came to be known as the Salem Witch Trials.The mini-series begins on a rather odd note - it is right in the middle of a trial where...

This story by Finney delves once again with time, in that a modern-day young...

The Ring (Full Screen Edition) (2002) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"The Ring" is an American adaptation of the 1998 Japanese horror film called "Ringu." The plot is hideously simple: a videotape floating around kills anyone who watches it at the end of seven days. We know this because after the poor viewer gets to the end of the film, the phone "rings" and a voice whispers...
