Doctor Who - Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD

Peter Cushing, Bernard Cribbins

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Another good one.
As always I have to give this Dr Who movie a five star rating. It's a bit different from your regular Dr. Who genre, but it finishes fine.

The Fall Of The Roman Empire (Three-Disc Limited Collector's Edition) (The Miriam Collection)

Alec Guinness, Sophia Loren

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

Solid historical epic on 2nd century Rome.
A very enjoyable movie with good period detail and enough history to be well above the typical sword and sandal movie.

Greyfriars Bobby

Donald Crisp, Laurence Naismith

Walt Disney Video, 2004

A timeless classic suitable for children and adults with a heart
Having been to Edinburgh and seen the statue of Bobby, this film had some meaning for me. Film makers - including Disney - just don't make films like this anymore, probably because society has changed so much since this was filmed in 1960. There is no violence, no ...

Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots

Vanessa Redgrave, Glenda Jackson

Universal Studios, 2007

One more and it would have been a hat trick!
Here we have two terrific films, appropriately packaged together. You get two DVDs packaged in a single case, each individually labeled. Perhaps if the distributor would have included Cromwell (1970, Richard Harris) it would have been the ultimate CD package ever, ...

First Among Equals

Tom Wilkinson, John Breslin

Acorn Media, 2008

Sex, backstabbing, relationships, and more in this British political saga
New Scottish MP, Andrew Fraser, is joined by new MP, mid class lawyer Raymond Gould, on the Labor party side of government. New MPs, wealthy Charles Seymour and his personal rival, Simon Kerslake, both sit on the Tory side. It is British politics as its finest, or ...

Princess Stallion

Ariana Richards, Andrew Keir

Allumination, 2004

Great movie
I thought this was such a great movie. It is thrilling, loving and I woudld recomend it for anybody who loves horses. I have always wanted a horse. I have always loved horses. This is one of my faviorte movies.

Blood From the Mummy's Tomb

Andrew Keir, Valerie Leon

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

No moldy old mummy in this atmospheric thriller!
In this 1971 Hammer Films entry, we get the "reincarnation of the Egyptian Princess theme," but with a certain caveat -- there's no "bandaged-wrapped mummy" to avenge her or to drag her off at the end of the movie! Directed by Seth Holt, this is a fine horror flick ...

Cleopatra

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2006

Superb Superb Superb! Ancient Rome Brought to Life
For Roman history enthusiasts this is one of the best films to recreate the nearly-vanished glory and grandeur that was Rome. It brings to life the story of Julius Caesar and fall of the Republic followed by the rise of Augustus. This is familiar to everyone so I'll ...

Lion of the Desert - 25th Anniversary Edition

Anthony Quinn, Oliver Reed

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005

Timely movie even after 25 years
Lion of the Desert came out in 1981 to bad reviews and box office failure because its production was subsidized to the extent of $35 million by Libya. It was filmed mostly in eastern Libya - Cyrenaica -- and is worth viewing for the location itself. I saw it when it ...

Rob Roy

Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

A great story
I love this movie and Liam Neeson could not have been a better Rob Roy. It is the story that makes you smile and makes you cry and is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. The love Rob Roy had for his family and his countrymen, amazing

Attack on the Iron Coast

Lloyd Bridges, Andrew Keir

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Solid Commando Movie
This is a solid commando movie. The planning and raid are filmed like clockwork. This is a very believable and entertaining film. They don't make them like this anymore. The DVD image is crystal clear and sharp. I was totally enthralled.

Quatermass and the Pit

James Donald, Andrew Keir

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1998

Classic Sci-fi does not dissappoint
I saw this movie as kid due to my Dad's penchant for sci-fi, which I have now inherited. He's not here anymore to ask so I went looking and finally discovered the movie title and purchased it. What a treat. However, I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't appreciate ...

The Fighting Prince Of Donegal

Peter McEnery, Susan Hampshire

Walt Disney Studios, 2007

The clans unite!
THE STORY: An adventure story with lots of humor thrown in. A fictional story based on a real person, this is the story of Red Hugh, the real Prince of Donegal, Hugh O'Donell. During the 16th century reign of Queen Elizabeth I, England is at war with Spain while also ...

The Doctor Who Collection

Peter Cushing, Bernard Cribbins

Continental Distributing, 2001

daleks rule!
I love these movies and this is a great way to watch em! Peter Cushing is very entertaining as the doctor and it's too bad he only played the part twice. These movies are so sixties it's fantastic! Im a sucker for sci fi which isn't afraid to be fun and the Daleks are ...
