Anthony Perkins

Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire

Warner Home Video, 2000

ENCHANTING IN THE MOST LITERAL SENSE OF THE WORD
I saw this movie when it came out in 1956 and went to see it several times, much to the annoyance of the lady who was taking care of me (who thought one viewing was plenty.) I was absolutely enchanted by it, and I was eight years old at the time, but it had a ...

Psycho (Collector's Edition)

Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh

Universal Studios, 1998

We All Go A Little Crazy Sometimes
This is one of those classic movies you just wish you could have watched when it first came out in the movie theaters and you or no one else in the audience knew what was coming! Even if you know the basic story outline complete with the big "surprise" and have seen ...

Catch-22

Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam

Paramount, 2001

Go Around!
Here goes another review of another movie but this time I would like to include the shock I had at the first time I ever saw this one. Not at all like any movie before or after it.... War is the same no matter who what where when why and how it happens and this war ...

The Black Hole

Ernest Borgnine, Joseph Bottoms

Walt Disney Video, 2004

The Black Hole DVD
Excellent movie from Disney for that time period in which it was created. I had been wanting to get this for quite awhile.

The Prestige

Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2007

The Masterpiece set in Steampunk ...
What can be said so early in the game about one of the greatest films ever made? Are you watching carefully? Did you miss something? Yes ... you heard right. The Prestige is not the greatest film ever made, but it does belong in that special group of films that ...

Nightmare Worlds 50 Movie Pack Collection

Anthony Perkins, Bela Lugosi

Mill Creek Entertainment, 2006

An interesting addition to your DVD collection, especially for movie geeks.
After I was almost finished watching the 50 Horror Classics mega pack (put out by Treeline) I proceeded to acquire more 50 movie packs from Amazon.com: Nightmare Worlds, Tales of Terror, Sci-Fi Classics and Chilling Classics. What is great about these mega packs is ...

The Prestige [Blu-ray]

On the Beach

Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Place in Time When People Seemed to Care More
I remember my parents taking me to this film--at a drive-in, no less. This was the era of "The Blob" and other teen-crazie epics. ON THE BEACH is a serious, thought-provoking film--and it found a deep--if silent--response not only in mature people, but with teens as ...

Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express

Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall

Paramount, 2004

A Visually Beautiful, Clever, Well-Acted, and Faithful Adaptation
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is an impressive movie. Well-acted, beautifully shot and lit, and with a sharp tongued script and stunning sets, it is a masterpiece, much like the genius book by Agatha Christie is considered today. The story follows detective Hercule ...

Mahogany

Diana Ross, Anthony Perkins

Paramount, 2007

Just As I Remember It
The DVD version of MAHOGANY was just as I remember when I first saw it back in 1976. It would have been nice if they had some outtakes or a documentary of how the movie was developed and made. It would also have been nice to see the sketches of the garments that ...

Crimes of Passion

Kathleen Turner, Bruce Davison

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2002

A minor classic
1984's Crimes of Passion at first seems like some trashy, 80s 'hip' tale about a woman's double life as a stylish hooker, but what we really get is a disturbing, stylish 100 minute analysis of the nature of sex, desire and relationships featuring some utterly ...

Sci-Fi Classics 100 Movie Pack

Buster Crabbe, Bela Lugosi

Mill Creek Entertainment, 2007

Thinking is the best way to travel
Let's get the "down side" out of the way immediately: Video quality on budget-priced DVD sets is not always suitable for hi-def or big screen TVs. These discs work best on standard size tube sets. Audio levels from this manufacturer have in the past been somewhat ...

Ffolkes

Roger Moore, James Mason

Universal Studios, 2003

Who Said Roger Moore Can't Act?
This is one of the greatest action adventure films ever made. It has so many strong points. The cast and script are far above anything anyone ever expected and unfortunately this film went entirely unnoticed on its release. This is one of director Andrew V. McLaglen's ...

Leprechaun Pot of Gore Collection (5 DVD Set)

Warwick Davis, Ice-T

Lions Gate, 2001

I feel guilty, but I love these movies.
I don't know why, but I love these films. I realize I probably shouldn't use the word films here, but I don't really care. These either resonate with you or they don't. In any case, expect them to be silly. They have a very simple feel to them, and they really are a ...

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

Ned Beatty, Fred Brookfield

Warner Home Video, 2003

A classic offbeat western
This is one of my all time favorite western movies. I recommend it to Paul Newman fans and western fans. Notable for first appearance of Victoria Principal.
