Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston, Rex Harrison

20th Century Fox, 2005

Nearly a Masterpiece
An impressive film that should be in any film buff's library. The scenery, acting and story are very well done. Some license is taken with the lives of both Michelangelo and Pope Julius II. However, the acting and exchanges between Heston as Michelangelo and Rex ...

Soylent Green

Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson

Warner Home Video, 2008

Remember...Tuesday is Soylent Green Day
I have been looking for this movie for a long time. Why didn't I order through Amazon weeks ago??? Amazon delivered the movie fast and without hassle. The next time I need a movie, I'm ordering from Amazon!

William Shakespeare's Hamlet (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Kenneth Branagh, Julie Christie

Warner Home Video, 2007

Branagh
Amazing version. Branagh makes Hamlet enjoyable for the Shakespeare buff or the reluctant viewer. Easy to follow, incredibly visual, epic performances from an all star cast. Highly, highly recommended.

El Cid (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (The Miriam Collection)

Charlton Heston, Sophia Loren

Miriam Collection, 2008

el cid
I bought this cd as a birthday present. The friend who received this enjoyed it very much.

Touch Of Evil (50th Anniversary Edition)

Joseph Cotten, Valentin de Vargas

Universal Studios, 2008

"Touch of Evil" presented in its three different variations with actor commentary
Over looked when it was released (except in France where it won awards and critical praise), "Touch of Evil" was Orson Welles' last major studio project as writer-director-star. When the original director bowed out, Welles (supported by star Charlton Heston)asked for ...

In the Mouth of Madness

Sam Neill, Julie Carmen

New Line Home Video, 2000

It's The End Of The World As We Know It...
I spent much of my youth reading the works of H.P. Lovecraft. His delightfully overblown style and ability to bring darkness into (brief) focus kept me turning those pages. The stories always seemed to come down to: A) Man discovers horrible truth about elder gods / ...

Ben-Hur

Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins

Warner Home Video, 2004

Timeless Epic
Ben-Hur (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) This is the best American movie ever made. Everything is done superbly. Great story, outstanding acting, fantastic picture made with 65mm cameras, masterful music score. It is hard to find anything bad about this movie. ...

Tombstone

Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer

Walt Disney Video, 1997

Epic movie making
In my humble opinion, Tombstone is one of the best westerns made. I wasn't looking for a history lesson, I can watch the history channel for that. I was looking for movie entertainment at it's hyperbolic best. Every character; the good, the bad, the ugly are over ...

Hercules (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

Tate Donovan, Josh Keaton

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Great
I received the movie at the time indicated it would be sent and it was in great condition. Thank you.

Midway (Collector's Edition)

Charlton Heston, Edward Albert

Universal Studios, 2001

Midway (Collector's Edition)
I have this movie on VHS but the DVD version is outstanding. The sound and quality of the picture are supurb. Just as I remember seeing it when it first came out in the theater.

True Lies

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis

20th Century Fox, 1999

Over The Top Violence - Comedy!
This movie has everything: Undercover agents, military violence, insane anti-American antagonist, great comic situations, Jamie Lee Curtis doing a sexy dance, family rescue... best of all, Arnold. Who else can deliver true grit fighting and side-splitting humor the ...

The Omega Man [Blu-ray]

Charlton Heston, Anthony Zerbe

Warner Home Video, 2007

Omega Man HD
I haven't had a chance to view it because you can only play it on Blu-ray, which I don't have and didn't know I needed. The details for the product need to be clearer because that was no where in the listing.

Tombstone - The Director's Cut (Vista Series)

Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer

Walt Disney Video, 2002

Epic movie making
In my humble opinion, Tombstone is one of the best westerns made. I wasn't looking for a history lesson, I can watch the history channel for that. I was looking for movie entertainment at it's hyperbolic best. Every character; the good, the bad, the ugly are over ...

The Omega Man

Charlton Heston, Rosalind Cash

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Fantastic Classic
If you own "I Am Legend" with Will Smith, get this one. They are both based on the same original story, but instead of mutes that barely resemble humans, the plague victims not only speak but form a society of their own based on a post-apocolyptic philosophy. The ...
