Clash of the Titans

Ursula Andress, Claire Bloom

Warner Home Video, 2004

I'd love to see a remake of this movie.
I saw this the first time when I was a kid. Amazing still after all these years. The special effects were pretty good for the time. The story kicks butt. A must see for those into action/adventure/fantasy. Medussa should get her own movie. She rocks. Recommended!

The Ten Commandments [Blu-ray]

Omar Sharif, Dougray Scott

Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2008

A follow-up of true epic on Moses
The movie showed more information in what may have occured in the life of Moses and his family. It was truly something to think about, especially about his Egyptian mother and brother. How the Ten Commandments came about and why it was formed. Why the people ...

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

Richard Burton, Claire Bloom

Paramount, 2004

Gripping Cold War Intrigue
I remember when this movie was first released, a friend saw it and afterward complained bitterly about how boring it was. This was around 1965 and he was expecting something more along the lines of James Bond, Our Man Flint, Matt Helm or any of the other James Bond ...

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Caroline Aaron, Alan Alda

One of Allen's best films!
This is one of Woody Allen's best films, and for the price of $10 it is a no-brainer to buy it!

Agatha Christie's Marple: Series 2

Geraldine McEwan, Chloe Pennington

Acorn Media, 2006

Very Good
They have made changes to Agatha Christie's books for this particular Miss Marple series. But I don't think the changes take away from the great quality of mystery storytelling involved in this complex character and the complex stories. I think they did a good ...

A Doll's House

Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

A Doll's House, Seriously
This 1970s production of Ibsen's classic play is well worth the viewing -- it's a solid and believable -- if unsensational -- reading of one of the most famous plays in literature -- and one of the key documents in feminism. The total lack of gimmickry and straight ...

The Camomile Lawn

Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington

Acorn Media, 2006

A stellar cast makes for an engaging period drama
My grand aunt recommended Mary Wesley's books to me recently and I was quickly engaged by her well-written stories. When I learned that The Camomile Lawn had also been adapted for TV, I knew I had to watch it and I wasn't disappointed. The period drama makes for an ...

Mighty Aphrodite

F. Murray Abraham, Claire Bloom

Miramax, 1999

"Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous, and the silliest!"
"Mighty Aphrodite" (1995), Woody Allen's hilarious yet moving and surprisingly optimistic film can be viewed as a modern retelling of the ancient tragedy "Oedipus". Like Oedipus in Sophocles's play who became obsessed with discovering identity of his real parents which ...
