First Degree Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Made for cable, "First Degree" has more twists than a bag of pretzels, and is in many ways over-plotted, but for TV fare, it's entertaining, and has some interesting characters in the story. Detective Rick Mallory (Rob Lowe) is called in to investigate the murder of a rich businessman, and almost immediately...

The Man Show: Girls on Trampolines Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The other reviewers are right about this being nearly as mindless as is possible- and the music and ridiculously fake and repetitive sound effects (of girls squeaking and exclaiming) may drive you insane, but here's what they forgot to tell you; in nearly half of the trampoline scenes, one or more of...

Journey of the Heart/Heart's Adrift Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I originally bought this DVD solely for "Hearts Adrift", which was a USA Network original movie that aired in 1995. I have been waiting for the DVD release for years and have searched pretty much every movie website & media store for VHS copies, but to no avail. Then, Amazon.com finally sent me notice...

Star of David: Hunting for Beautiful Girls (1979) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was asked once how come Japanese directors Takashi Miike is more appreciated in the Western world than in his own native land as a master of the macabre, the darkly twisted and of truly unnerving material; well, my answer was it is because Japan has been doing all sorts of twisted and sick films that...

Penn & Teller's Magic and Mystery Tour Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a longtime Penn & Teller fan, I've become used to, and even look forward to, their "snide and sarcastic humor" but this show is SO much more! This isn't about two Vegas magicians telling you about magic - its about two very knowledgeable men who are students of the art form and want to trace it...

When I Knew Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The documentary "When I Knew" is a collection of aptly edited stories about when people found out they were gay. Unfortunately, it's only 30 minutes or so long and could have benefited from more exploration into individual stories (this is available in the special features section of the DVD, but sadly...

Gwendoline - Unrated Director's Cut (aka - The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak) (1985) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been wanting to pick up this obscure movie for years, ever since I first watched it some 12 years ago. Unfortunately, up until now it has been out of print - even on VHS. I was un-willing to pay an obnoxious price for a used version on Video tape. Now there is no reason to fret any more: Gwendoline...

The Scarlet and the Black (1983) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer give outstanding performances as Monsr. Hugh O'Flaherty(Peck) and SS Col. Herbert Kapler(Plummer). The action and suspense of the movie keeps it going at a brisk pace. The story follows Peck as a Vatican official trying to save Italian Jews and Allied escaped POW's...

Love at First Kill Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Filmed in 2007 and originally titled THE BOX COLLECTOR, this noirish thriller has echoes of PSYCHO and other loony mother movies, though inferior in quality.margot Kidder employs the overwrought style of Davis or Crawford--without panache. She's more like Rod Steiger, gleefully chomping up the scenery.The...

Basketball Diaries (1995) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Director Scott Kalvert creates a moving and realistic recount of the true story of Jim Carroll, played superbly by Leonardo DiCaprio, a New York City teen who at the height of his high school basketball career, falls victim to drugs and violence in the rough streets. Look for the real-life Jim Carroll...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Like all things in life, sexual prowess comes only with practice. Practice makes perfect, and the Karma Sutra helps guide you to that state of sexual euphoria we all want to reach; where endorphins run rampant and babies are made.

The Emmanuelle Collection (Emmanuelle / Emmanuelle 2 / Good-bye Emmanuelle) (1974) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This boxed set presents the three original Emmanuelle movies, the ones starring Sylvia Kristel. There were lots of imitators, most ranging from bad to worse and beyond. At the time of the first Emmanuelle, though none of that had yet happened - please hold that happy thought. Perhaps these three aren't...

Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this set because my daughter so enjoyed her other video, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (which seems to be out of print now). I didn't realize that this set is essentially a repackaging of the same material from that video (1 of the 4 tapes is new material). I much prefer the original...

SO I averaged it and got 3.The dialogue is horrendous, the effects cheesy, the music (not the soundtrack which is great,...
