Paint Your Wagon [VHS]

Paint Your Wagon [VHS] Overview

This film and Hello Dolly were the knockout blows to the studio movie musical, but Paint doesn't deserve its tarnished name. Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) takes the model of a rakish derelict to an unequaled high as a prospector who teams up with a greenhorn named Pardner (Clint Eastwood), and they both end up marrying the same scorned woman (Jean Seberg). No-Name City, the prospecting town they found, is Sodom and Gomorrah without the camels, and a vision of humanity left to its own devices. The songs are mostly wonderful melodies from Lerner and Loewe, with definite high points, notably "They Call the Wind Maria" and "Wand'rin' Star." Clint Eastwood always gets flack for his versions of "I Still See Elisa" and "I Talk to the Trees," but that scorn is equally undeserved. Perhaps Paint's biggest sin, in retrospect, was trying to combine the aesthetics of the musical with the aesthetics of the male protagonists' world-weary machismo. Not the easiest task, but Paint pulls it off. --Keith Simanton

The Fly [VHS]

The Fly [VHS] Overview

Seth Brundle, a brilliant but eccentric scientist attempts to woo investigative journalist Veronica Quaife by offering her a scoop on his latest research in the field of matter transportation, which against all the expectations of the scientific establishment have proved successful. Up to a point. Brundle thinks he has ironed out the last problem when he successfully transports a living creature, but when he attempts to teleport himself a fly enters one of the transmission booths, and Brundle finds he is a changed man.

The Fly [VHS] Specifications

David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the science fiction classic about a scientist who accidentally swaps body parts with a fly is both smart and terrifying: an allegory for the awful processes of slow death and a monster movie with a tragic spin. Jeff Goldblum gives a masterful performance as a sweet, nerdy scientist whose romance with a writer (Geena Davis) makes him more fully alive. Next thing you know, a tiny oversight in an experiment causes him to transmogrify, gradually, into something more like an insect than a human. This is Cronenberg (Scanners, Videodrome) country, so expect The Fly to be a gross-out, but in the way that disease corrupts the body and can make a loved one unrecognizable on every level. This is one of Cronenberg's best films, and certainly one of the important movies of the 1980s. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Let me from the beginning that this is my favorite movie of all time. I am a big fan of movies and have a large library of DVDs, and yet somehow remains my number one. There are many reasons for this film rast-by for a great rhythm and is the perfect fusion of science fiction, horror and drama. Directed by David Cronenberg is simply sublime. Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz are all perfectly cast in their roles. The effects are still strong and keep25 years after the first publication of the film.

The story follows Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), that something big, a couple of jobs Telepod that allow instantaneous teleportation. The film begins with him calling the Belle Vernon Quaife (Geena Davis) returns to his apartment to show / lab, which worked. That 's what it takes to surprise and they decide who follow him and write a book about his invention. Before long the two fall in love, andhis boss (John Getz) is extremely jealous of them, starting a fascinating triangle. Meanwhile, something went wrong, when Seth Brundlefly teleports for the first time something was there with him and was not detected, leading to genetic splicing between him and a fly. From that very strange things, and bloody ...

I can not rave enough about this film. Jeff Goldblum is one of the shows very quintessence of lead in the role of SethBrundle part of his nerdy, awkward beginning of his terrible fall in the last third. I will not spoil it for the uninitiated, not to say it's like a superhero movie gone wrong. Instead of always selfless and heroic as a result of splicing accident is determined to self-preservation. The film was seen as an allegory for everything from AIDS to drug heroin.

Regarding the transfer of Blu-ray - it is really very impressive. The effects look great inbe high definition, and even if there is no show-off disc, is a big improvement over the previous DVD release. The extras are the same as the special edition DVD that was released a few years ago, and is adding a new Trivia Track. When you consider that one of these extras 3 hours documentary on the film, this will be a breeze. I recommend both the film and the excellent pretty decent DVD release.

Blood in Blood Out [VHS]

Blood in Blood Out [VHS] Overview

Now, from the director of AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN and the producer of LA BAMBA comes BLOOD IN ... BLOOD OUT, a critically acclaimed modern-day epic. Within the rich and colorful Chicano culture of East Los Angeles, three cousins raised as brothers fiercely live by a generations-old tradition of family -- a power stronger than law, a force deeper than friendship. In one life-shattering moment, the trio is torn apart, forcing them to follow three separate paths: one searching for truth in the law, one expressing his passion through art, and one finding power in prison. Yet through it all, family and honor keep their lives intertwined as each strives for survival and power!

Blood in Blood Out [VHS] Specifications

Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman) directed this 1993 epic about Chicano gang wars in the California prison system and the differing and tragic paths of three boyhood friends. Half-brothers Paco and Cruz grow up with their cousin Miklo in Chicano Los Angeles, and each in turn is influenced by their violent environment and the prevalence of drugs on their streets. Cruz becomes an artist but winds up tragically addicted to heroin, while Miklo serves time for murder and Paco becomes a cop, setting the stage for a confrontation between the two when Miklo is released from prison. The film strives for an epic feel but takes too long to set up its interweaving stories. It is notable, however, for some fine acting on the part of Benjamin Bratt and Damian Chiapa, as well as smaller roles by Billy Bob Thornton, Ving Rhames and Delroy Lindo. Its depictions of life in the California prison system are harrowing and powerful, and serve as the centerpiece of this urban drama. --Robert Lane

Night of the Hunter [VHS]

Night of the Hunter [VHS] Overview

In the entire history of American movies, The Night of the Hunter stands out as the rarest and most exotic of specimens. It is, to say the least, a masterpiece--and not just because it was the only movie directed by flamboyant actor Charles Laughton or the only produced solo screenplay by the legendary critic James Agee (who also cowrote The African Queen). The truth is, nobody has ever made anything approaching its phantasmagoric, overheated style in which German expressionism, religious hysteria, fairy-tale fantasy (of the Grimm-est variety), and stalker movie are brought together in a furious boil. Like a nightmarish premonition of stalker movies to come, Night of the Hunter tells the suspenseful tale of a demented preacher (Robert Mitchum, in a performance that prefigures his memorable villain in Cape Fear), who torments a boy and his little sister--even marries their mixed-up mother (Shelley Winters)--because he's certain the kids know where their late bank-robber father hid a stash of stolen money. So dramatic, primal, and unforgettable are its images--the preacher's shadow looming over the children in their bedroom, the magical boat ride down a river whose banks teem with fantastic wildlife, those tattoos of LOVE and HATE on the unholy man's knuckles, the golden locks of a drowned woman waving in the current along with the indigenous plant life in her watery grave--that they're still haunting audiences (and filmmakers) today. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews

I saw this movie on TV when I was a child. I suspect that I had in my parents would take care has never been allowed to see him. My grandmother was a movie fan and had no objections to the distribution of TV to me. Since then I've probably seen this video at least 15 to 20 times and still scares me and leaves me open-mouthed as this is a fantastic film that a universal appeal in the sense that it bears the most primal fears, the majority of people.
The plot is fairlysimple. A man (the actor Peter Graves) robs a bank and is detected, without the ill-gotten money. He is sentenced to death and awaiting execution, while it is locked up with the latest scammer / con artist / thief probably less (actor Robert Mitchum). Mitchum tries to extract the location in the grip of Graves' no avail. Mitchum stands a haunted widow Graves' (Shelley Winters) and her two young children and is presented as a traveling minister. Mitchum courts and marries the widow. Hisabusive and the side faces of evil, and soon hinself quickly released by Winters, because he is convinced that children are the key to the location of hidden assets. The subsequent history is a game of cat and mouse between Mitchum and children who fled from Mitchum.
At first glance, the story is interesting and exciting. What distinguishes something much bigger are the strong performance of the actors, the moody black and white photography, contrasting elementsdirection of good versus evil, and Art of Charles Laughton in his unique attempt to film directing.
I recommend this film because of its uniqueness and its sensitivity, which contrasts markedly with respect to the protagonist Mitchum evil.

Scarlett (Special Collector's Editon) [VHS]

Scarlett (Special Collector's Editon) [VHS] Overview

This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back the estranged Rhett Butler (manfully portrayed by Timothy Dalton), often seen in the company of other women, struggles for control over the homestead Tara, and gets caught in yet another compromising position with poor Ashley Wilkes (Stephen Collins). The troubles never stop (Scarlett's Ireland adventures land her in a heap of trouble from which only Rhett can save her), but this TV miniseries wisely keeps the focus on these captivating characters, their entangled histories, and the collective destiny that refuses to part them. The show also looks good: the location scenes in Ireland are particularly handsome, and there is something unaccountably satisfying about seeing Scarlett and Rhett walking through peaceful green hills. Enjoy. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Scarlett, the film has little to either the book or Gone with the wind of her squeak. The sites have only a superficial similarity. Ashley Wilkes not to appear at any time in Charleston, and he has nothing to do with why Scarlett do after the boating accident. The film portrays Scarlett never be thrown from the house of Rhett Butler's wife illict Rhett reached after word of a meeting between her and Ashley. That has never happened in the book, just theIn contrast, in fact --- Rhett letter imploring them to please leave later admits that not the truth about his feelings, because it is, and leaves his notebook to his mother is that she loves, is angry confrontation pure invention.

The film gives way to Charleston almost completely from the history book. Rhett Ross first divorce while she is Savannah, still leaving America for Ireland with the expectation that it will. The story that comes once in Irelandis completely different. Before Earl Fenton there when it comes to Ballyhara, nor did they appear in the book in four years after their arrival. She returned to America to sell Atlanta real estate here some time after Rhett Their divorce, but that has nothing to do with Suellen, and certainly has nothing to do with growing violence Fenton, as shown in the film. Rhett Ross found out where on the way back to Ireland with a port in Charleston, where they seethe other, him out of the dock from the deck of the boat while the boat moves towards the sea. Rhett is for them to come, but not with his new wife, Ann Hampton hitch. Scarlett has shown considerable success in rapidly progressing up the ranks of the British aristocratic society in Ireland. This is definitely the way to get Rhett back, like Rhett, an aristocratic Anglo itself can not stand the richest men in England and Ireland, fawning over her as she left out. He makes repeated trips to Ireland,ostensibly to buy horses and has her friends to keep her. Mr. Fenton, the richest man in England, takes after his debut in Dublin Castle and dance with the Viceroy (and Rhett), and if he moved the court to Ross, who died after his wife Ann Hampton , is the last straw for Rhett. In the film, the role of Fenton and the character is totally false representation of his movies as a rapist is all wrong. Fenton does not show all the violence against Scarlett (other than a shortMeeting with the horse, which rather amused). It shows the highest aristocratic arrogance that his marriage plans for them as an exercise in horse breeding (and he said it) --- the floor, his aristocratic blood with their quality and characteristics of strains, which he Cat sees in her daughter's heritage and create a mix you need. She knows she can not conceive a child in any case, not more. But certainly not in breach or anyone else in the book, no one kills Fenton, andOf course there is no trial for murder. Rhett Ross runs after learning that they are married Fenton, while Scarlett discovered by Moreland, Rhett friend, the truth about the death of Ann, convinced that he would come for them ...


The film is alternately continued Gone with the wind, not a "base" in the book ... The purpose of the film seems to be to create a role for Sean Bean in a bad different, need to change the story of a badFenton ... Joanne Whatley played Scarlett O'Hara and a great lead story in many ways much more credible than Vivian Leigh (1939), is a bit 'too young for his role ... Whatley shows the tires Scarlett O 'Hara remarkable.

Life Is Beautiful [VHS]

Life Is Beautiful [VHS] Overview

An inspired motion picture masterpiece, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL was nominated for 7 Academy Awards(R) -- winning 3 Oscars, including one for Best Actor Robert Benigni. In this extraordinary tale, Guido (Benigni) -- a charming but bumbling waiter who's gifted with a colorful imagination and an irresistible sense of humor -- has won the heart of the woman he loves and created a beautiful life for his young family. But then, that life is threatened by World War II ... and Guido must rely on those very same strengths to save his beloved wife and son from an unthinkable fate! Honored with an overwhelming level of critical acclaim, this truly exceptional, utterly unique achievement will lift your spirits and capture your heart!

Life Is Beautiful [VHS] Specifications

Italy's rubber-faced funnyman Roberto Benigni accomplishes the impossible in his World War II comedy Life Is Beautiful: he shapes a simultaneously hilarious and haunting comedy out of the tragedy of the Holocaust. An international sensation and the most successful foreign language film in U.S. history, the picture also earned director-cowriter-star Benigni Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor. He plays the Jewish country boy Guido, a madcap romantic in Mussolini's Italy who wins the heart of his sweetheart (Benigni's real-life sweetie, Nicoletta Braschi) and raises a darling son (the adorable Giorgio Cantarini) in the shadow of fascism. When the Nazis ship the men off to a concentration camp in the waning days of the war, Guido is determined to shelter his son from the evils around them and convinces him they're in an elaborate contest to win (of all things) a tank. Guido tirelessly maintains the ruse with comic ingenuity, even as the horrors escalate and the camp's population continues to dwindle--all the more impetus to keep his son safe, secure, and, most of all, hidden. Benigni walks a fine line mining comedy from tragedy and his efforts are pure fantasy--he accomplishes feats no man could realistically pull off--both of which have drawn fire from a few critics. Yet for all its wacky humor and inventive gags, Life Is Beautiful is a moving and poignant tale of one father's sacrifice to save not just his young son's life but his innocence in the face of one of the most evil acts ever perpetrated by the human race. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews

Do not be fooled, the cover of the DVD: There is nothing saccharine about your experience with this movie after seeing the beginning to the end. I think I accidentally happened on that image, while aimlessly around the foreign film section of Blockbuster Video in a winter evening in 1998 (when the first film came out). By the time the resonance circuit idealistic probably somewhere in my soul ... but here I am years later still affected. Roberto Benignisomehow manages to convey artistically (like clay, the events and the plot changes dramatically) we have the ability to form uncertain (sometimes anxious) deal with the circumstances can be tolerated, and finally live (it is a ' irony here, for those who see the end of the film). Just the awareness and determination;; The focus is indirectly related to the choices we make and Settings / perspective that we need when we get out and, of course, true love. L 'The love taught here is the way that it is better to sacrifice the other person wants to ... but also touches on the qualities of love (and life) that are absolutely fantastic and magical: the things you do not have to explain, and the things that is available by means other than the well-known: events, circumstances, people and events move us to the places that make sense only in the context of an intimate relationship with a world of complexity and uncertainty. This is an artist of the cinema.You will enjoy the charm and right, before reaching down deep and leaves you in tears.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon [VHS]

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon [VHS] Overview

The second installment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and Rio Grande), this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honor and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. --Bill Desowitz

Customer Reviews

... But that is saying a lot. Although the most spectacular views of the three films, the actors some of the main characters and the romance relatively uninteresting part of the story really makes this the smallest of the three films in terms of audience film.

John Wayne is incredible as a leader of troops, a lot of experience fighting Indians, when the settlers in the West of trying to tame. It portrays a commander mature, intelligent and clever who understands the missionand may, as little as possible to lose troops. His performances were posted by Ben Johnson (who began his career as Wayne's stunt double starts) supported Aide useful to what its about "Galloper" Harry Carey Jr. as four years in the army, still green behind the ears, Wayne and Victor McLaglen who drink. McLaglen is a trivial material, and a smile on the face of the collective public. Some of the supporting players are actually in the labor market, however. The worst offender JoAnn Dru,which, while beautiful, is not able to pass because it has all the castle in an uproar than their appearance, these are no more fascinating than the other young women who are stationed there. Your true love interest, John Agar, creates absolutely no heat in her scenes with her and delivers his lines in a monotone controlled, not exactly inspire the intonations calculated with the fire in the female heart. Normally, a good actress, Mildred Natwick is not simply the GAL for their share of an even more attractivewho has seen life around the fort for a long time and knows what's going on behind the scenes.

The best parts of the film are the scenes of war with the Indians, the forces on the following strains of an extraordinary session on the victory of Toro join General Custer. Their figures improved and violent behavior to make some beautiful scenes of war. lost to Wayne talk foray into the Indian camp, at peace with his old friend, an Indian chief, the control of the young warrior, is impressive.Wayne gives his willingness to make peace with his fellow talk hunting and fishing, while a little 'reconnaissance on exactly where the horses are confined. Ben Johnson when he asks: "Have you ever Tyree fear?" We see Wayne and Johnson are just as likely to be down a flight of arrows as visiting deleted peace with their lives. Wayne scene in which he uses to hide his reading glasses to read the inscription on a retirement gift that shows how the war has aged, while the army.
The award of actual film by Ford to go. A sudden storm came during the filming. to have as a cameraman caught high gear, Ford has to photograph the storm. The scenes are absolutely thrilling to watch. High won an Oscar for his work on this film, but a complaint against Ford with the cameraman, the guild to endanger his crew.

This is a superiority of Western civilization, and should especially compared with the other two are seenThe films of the trilogy (although Ford would not have thought that the three were in a special way related). The best of the three is undoubtedly Fort Apache, with a compelling story, a tour de force performance by Henry Fonda, a lovely black and white photography and editing of Nice. Rio Grande is my second favorite of the three. Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are convincing actress as mature lovers who have alienated for twenty years, but this is a record of his sonin fact the Army, Wayne, and are still hot for each other. In both of these two films, the supporting cast is an incredible task, the overall risk of stress and tensions of life outpost. See all. I think you'll be impressed.

Escape From New York [VHS]

Escape From New York [VHS] Overview

In the future, crime is out of control and New York City is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken, a one-eyed warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President, and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables. Kurt Russell put his Disney days behind him as the nicest bad guy in the picture. All comic-book sensibilities and macho posturing, this is one of writer-director John Carpenter's better brainless escapes. There are snappy one-liners and explosive action scenes. However, the film lacks tension and some believability even within the realm of SF fantasy. Even when it fails to gel, though, it always manages to amuse, thanks in great part to a varied and unusual supporting cast (watch for Ernest Borgnine as a cabdriver). Followed in 1996 by Carpenter's overdone and campy Escape from L.A.--Rochelle O'Gorman

Customer Reviews

The film is a cult classic and the sound quality is to improve significantly on Blu-ray compared to previous versions.

They do not just find stimuli in an action movie as good as this dystopian movies and it's really one of the best Carpenter, really capture the political pessimism of the eighties.

Unfortunately, there are no extras. I want to delete the inclusion of the comment and the train robbery scene have. I thought it was a great contrast of the darkRest of the film. These problems can only be found on previous certian DVD (and VHS).

Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country [VHS]

Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country [VHS] Overview

Star Trek V left us nowhere to go but up, and with the return of Star Trek II director Nicholas Meyer, Star Trek VI restored the movie series to its classic blend of space opera, intelligent plotting, and engaging interaction of stalwart heroes and menacing villains. Borrowing its subtitle (and several lines of dialogue) from Shakespeare, the movie finds Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his fellow Enterprise crew members on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with the revered Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner). When the high-ranking Klingon and several officers are ruthlessly murdered, blame is placed on Kirk, whose subsequent investigation uncovers an assassination plot masterminded by the nefarious Klingon General Chang (Christopher Plummer) in an effort to disrupt a historic peace summit. As this political plot unfolds, Star Trek VI takes on a sharp-edged tone, with Kirk and Spock confronting their opposing views of diplomacy, and testing their bonds of loyalty when a Vulcan officer is revealed to be a traitor. With a dramatic depth befitting what was to be the final movie mission of the original Star Trek crew, this film took the veteran cast out in respectably high style. With the torch being passed to the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation, only Kirk, Scotty, and Chekov would return, however briefly, in Star Trek: Generations. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews

After the commercial failure and critical part of EPIC 5, almost no longer the franchise. They had different ideas for a new movie, maybe a new series. I almost go-ahead for a prequel called Starfleet, but the project was abandoned (although it took some ideas from him for the restart, 2009). Leonard Nimoy then came up with an idea for a sixth film. He asked, "What if the wall came down in space?" He was referring to the events of the Cold War. So they decided to followhis suggestion and produce the sixth Star Trek movie. Many consider this one of the best Star Trek movie, and watch some people who are on the same level as the "Wrath of Khan." I like this movie, but I do not like as much as two or four parts. And I think at the same level as in Search for Spock. It 's a good Star Trek movie, but there are better.

The film is set some years after the events of the fifth part. In the time since the last film to be given Suluhis command, the starship Excelsior. The crew of the Enterprise a few weeks before retirement. The events of the previous film, are not even mentioned. And 'as they say, "Well, we really ruined last year. We just want to say film never happened, okay?" And that's fine with me. You try the themes of the trilogy that was a smart move on their part to carry. The film begins with Sulu and the Excelsior discover that the explosion of a Klingon moon.The moon, the practice has been the key energy production facility Klingon Empire and the Klingon Empire is now in turmoil. They call for a peace treaty with the Federation. Kirk and the Enterprise is ordered to meet with Chancellor Gorkon and accompany him to the ground. This is difficult to Kirk, because, as his son David was killed in a few years earlier by Klingons. However, Kirk tries to be gentle with the Klingons, and aboard the 'Enterprise for dinner in a great, funScene. Kirk meets Gorkon Azetbur daughter, and his chief of staff, General Chang. Kirk Chang seems particularly interested in seeing him as a fellow warrior.

When they near Earth, the Enterprise suddenly appears on the Klingon ship fires. Then two men dressed in beam space on the Klingon ship. They kill more Klingons, including Gorkon. Kirk beams over the Klingon ship, and he and McCoy are sent to a prison planet. Later, flee and try to find out who framed them.They conclude that attacks the Enterprise, "Gorkon ship, was a Klingon ship, the fire, but you can disguise.

As I said, this is a satisfactory end of the first film series Star Trek. Kirk has again toowith the old. It also has to overcome his own bigotry and accept what has happened to the Klingons. I do not think this film is one of the best Trek film, but it's a great movie and a great sendoff for the team from the original series.

Lorenzo's Oil [VHS]

Lorenzo's Oil [VHS] Overview

With this powerful 1992 drama, director-producer George Miller (The Road Warrior) proved that a movie about a disease doesn't have to be a typical disease-of-the-week movie. Based on the real-life case of the Odones family, the story concerns 5-year-old Lorenzo, suffering mightily from an apparently incurable and degenerative brain illness called A.L.D. His parents, an economist (Nick Nolte) and a linguist (Susan Sarandon), refuse to accept the received wisdom that there is no hope, and set about learning biochemistry to pursue a cure on their own. The film becomes an intriguing scientific mystery mixed with a story of pain, grief, and the strain on the two adults. In other words, Lorenzo's Oil is similar to all those medical-mayhem TV flicks but with some key differences: a pair of great actors in Sarandon and Nolte--who actually do some of the finest work of their careers here--and Miller's bold and typically inventive direction. Miller, a doctor himself, refuses to shirk from the chaos and horrors of a child's agony, and he makes us hear the death chains rattling behind images that would be purely sentimental in another director's hands. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Two of the people who gave this movie a low rating (one star) said that the film was not objective, and also suggested that the oil does not work in most patients with ALD. I did a search on the internet only. Edu websites and found that the two auditors are wrong. Lorenzo's oil works only for about 2 / 3 of ALD patients, it is true. It only works if patients starting oil * before * the onset of symptoms. But they could no longer fool the great turning point, represented by Lorenzo oilin the study of ALD. It 's just that the cure turns out to be not as easy as originally hoped.

Do a search of the web following edu.:

Lorenzo Bradley J Stith PhD oil

He is a professor of biology at the University of Colorado, the film is a great teaching tool for students interested in biology, he thinks. He also talks about every aspect of ALD, the film and the oil itself.

Now that the accusation that doctors and nursesis negatively portrayed in the film. This is only partly true, because for every doctor and nurse who was himself interpreted negatively, there were doctors and nurses who were shown positive results. The doctor who finally diagnosed Lorenzo (film) is positive, he played like all her sisters and their assistants. And the doctor, the head of studies of diet (the movie) is only partially represented in the negative, then it helps the Odone "off the record" unprecedented in itsExperiment with Lorenzo and oil. Two of the nursing home care of Lorenzo are partly negative and partly positive image. Moreover, the mother of Lorenzo has been interpreted negatively, partly because their obsession with Lorenzo made them start their own families in some way evil. Of course, you can apologize, because it was the panic and desperate mother.

Do not listen to the opponents. All their claims are off target. This film is on my list of topTen films of all time.

Psycho (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

Psycho (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Overview

For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho (and particularly its classic set piece, the "shower scene"), nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred Hitchcock skillfully seduces you into identifying with the main characters--then pulls the rug (or the bathmat) out from under you. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, the mama's boy proprietor of the Bates Motel; and so is Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, who makes an impulsive decision and becomes a fugitive from the law, hiding out at Norman's roadside inn for one fateful night. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews

Bride of Frankenstein is one hour and fifteen minutes, and published April 22, 1935. This film is half horror, comedy and a half. I leave to the critics, which is the Universal Frankenstein films the best, but the Bride of Frankenstein is at least one of the most fun. The scene between the blind hermit and the monsters are ridiculous. When the hermit friend the monster, the hermit is to thank God for his new friend, and you can see from the eyes of the monster to rip. With his wife ofThe Frankenstein monster has developed some new skills. He drinks, smoking, eating, talking, again. The monsters do not speak again until the final scene of The Ghost of Frankenstein. After this film is a silent film in the rest of the Universal monsters. Colin Clive returns as Heinrich von Baron Frankenstein Dwight Frye, Karl (Fritz was in the previous film), and Boris Karloff as the monster. Mae Clarke plays of Elizabeth Frankenstein, assuming the role of ValerieBabette Louise. Elsa Lanchester plays Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and the monster's mate. The cast was given only as a screen of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. A? is shown next to the monster's mate. Just as in the original Frankenstein movie. Karloff Boris Karloff is only listed. Bride of Frankenstein begins a stormy night in the house are the Lord Bryon their guests Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley. Lord Byron tells the origin of the Frankenstein monster and bitThe pieces can be seen from the 1931 film Frankenstein.

Henry is dead, until his hand started up and wakes up. Back and the windmill, the parents of little Maria, were in mourning for her daughter, and her father did not believe that theMonster is dead. You go to the windmill and fall on the monster emerged from the shadows and kills John. The monster escapes from the mill, throwing the woman in Hans windmill of death. Subsequently, the monster met Minnie and she flees in horror. We do not know if later in the evening or during the week since the film does not make that clear, but Dr. Septimus Pretorius is a call and ask to speak to Dr. Henry Frankenstein. Dr. Pretorius was mentored by HenryUniversity and was shocked to learn from there too, as the Dr. Pretorius. Dr. Pretorius believes Henry, who came with him in his laboratory to show what worked. It shows six small and Henry are not larger than four centimeters. The six are: Queen, King, Archbishop, devil, dancer and a siren. Dr. Frankenstein says it is not science, but the black magic and says it will not help, Dr. Pretorius. In the next scene we see the monster in a pond to heal his wounds andDrinking water. It 's a girl who saves Sheppard in the lake and the monster has left. When he wakes up, begins to scream in terror and there are some hunters and shooting monsters. The creature escapes from the pain. The hunters warn the mayor and the mayor sent a mob to hunt down the monster. He is caught, taken to jail, handcuffed, and leaves as the guards, the monsters themselves, free and escapes. He opens the door to the house of a blind hermit and the hermitbefriends the monster. The hermit (his name has never existed in the film) is the monster soup and bread, and finally rest. If the monster lying on the bed, the hermit says a prayer and cried at that point the monster. We believe it's a few more days of the week because of the hermit of the monsters who taught comment. He can say words like bread, drink, smoke, good, and wood. Later, some hunters to shoot and walk and begin to see the monster. During the fight, is a broomthrown into the fire and the hut is on fire. The two fighters escort the hermit, and the monster has been without a friend. Later that evening, the monster is in a graveyard by villagers to chase. The monster hit on a figure and takes refuge in the crypt. Dr. Pretorius is in the crypt, but in a different location. He is there with two grave robbers stole the bones of a female corpse. This is the only scene where we get all the details, now is the filmKarl is said to read the time on my coffin, and it turns out, died in 1899. In the crypt of Dr. Pretorius pay the thief and the two leave. Dr. Pretorius is left to get the bread, drink and smoke. The monster goes to Dr. Pretorius and the two have a conversation.

Passport to Paris [VHS] Specifications

Resistance is futile! The Olsen Twins are everywhere, and you better get used to it, especially if you have a daughter between the ages of 4 and 10. Now they're not only taking over the U.S.; they've moved on to the city of light, Paris. Unlike their series (in which Mary-Kate and Ashley play themselves), in this latest venture they play fictional alter-egos in the form of superficial, boy-crazy, 13-year-olds. Their movie mom worries their world is too small and the girls are shipped off to Paris to visit their grandfather, the U.S. ambassador to France (yes, you read that right). He doesn't have much time for them, so he prepares a daily itinerary and forces an associate, an aspiring junior version of himself, to accompany the girls. But leave it to those wacky gals: within a few days, he's partying along with them and their newfound French beaus (played by young cutie patooties who have the worst French accents this side of Hee Haw). The movie is harmless enough, and despite a pervasive materialism in Olsen fare, loyalty and friendship are at the forefront. The French locations are gorgeous and enticing. (Ages 4 and up) --N.F. Mendoza

Customer Reviews

I know you do not have to say. My G * d is the Olsen twins, what do you think? You're right, Mary-Kate and Ashley are, as always done, too Cuts, delinquency predictable, trite and juvenile. Each of their films is basically the same story in a different location. Again, it's all true. But the work in this film of a particular, for some reason the formula.

Join the Olsen twins taking Paris by storm when they visit their grandfather in Ambasador "City of Lights."be supported by a supporting cast for more than a film of this genre that surprised at how enjoyable this movie. My daughter is in love with this movie years ago and now eighteen, she still looks. Putting it all the rational, intellectual criticism aside, this is simply a fun, happy movie that can be enjoyed by young and old!

Wonderful supporting performances from Matt Winston and the beautiful Yvonne Trail.
