David Hemmings

Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law

Paramount, 1999

Giggle and bounce
"Barbarella" turns forty years old, the year this is written. If anything, its silliness has just gotten sillier over time. Fonda herself embodies the biggest of the changes since this movie was made. This stars the old, giggly, pre-feminist, pre-political Fonda, ...

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Widescreen Edition)

Sean Connery, Naseeruddin Shah

20th Century Fox, 2003

Excellent
This "Blu-ray" edition is the best ever. Video and audio are spectacular and well worth the "upgrade" from the regular DVD version.

Spy Game (Widescreen Edition)

Amidou, Todd Boyce

Universal Studios, 2002

Great Movies
This is a great spy film with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. You must watch every scene very closely because there is so much going on that you don't realize what's happening. Every time I watch the DVD I see something I didn't pick up on before. Excellent movie.

Gladiator (Widescreen Edition)

Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix

Dreamworks Video, 2003

An absolute classic.
It has it all, great acting, great plot, great action, and a great soundtrack. What more do you want? This movie will never get old.

Gladiator (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Tomas Arana, Russell Crowe

Dreamworks Video, 2000

An absolute classic.
It has it all, great acting, great plot, great action, and a great soundtrack. What more do you want? This movie will never get old.

Camelot (Special Edition)

Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave

Warner Home Video, 1998

GREAT MOVIE
This is a wonderful film, I also have the stage version. they are both good, But I remember the film when it first came out and it is still my favorite. I was great to see Richard Harris when he was younger then when he was older in the same role. Reccomend both ...

Gangs of New York [Blu-ray]

Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Jim Broadbent

Miramax, 2008

Absolutely awful, but totally riveting, nonetheless!
This film/movie is absolutely awful, dreadfully violent, pretty disgusting, and likely to be nightmare-inducing, but it is totally riveting, nonetheless - I give it five stars, but I don't recommend watching it and won't do so myself again!

Blow Up

Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles

Warner Home Video, 2004

Stunning piece of film-making let down by some dated elements
There is little doubt that "Blow-Up" is a stunning piece of film-making. There is very little dialog in the film, and when people do talk to each-other there is mis-communication. No, Antonioni uses imagery and non-verbal sounds to convey meaning in this film. Combined ...

Gladiator - Extended Edition (Three-Disc Extended Edition)

Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix

Dreamworks Video, 2005

An absolute classic.
It has it all, great acting, great plot, great action, and a great soundtrack. What more do you want? This movie will never get old.

Gangs of New York (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2003

Absolutely awful, but totally riveting, nonetheless!
This film/movie is absolutely awful, dreadfully violent, pretty disgusting, and likely to be nightmare-inducing, but it is totally riveting, nonetheless - I give it five stars, but I don't recommend watching it and won't do so myself again!

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Full Screen Edition)

Last Orders

Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay

Sony Pictures, 2002

A marvelous ensemble cast
What a beautiful film, with a marvelous ensemble cast. Michael Caine (as "Jack") is brilliant and in a class by himself; and his love of acting is evident in each role he plays, always superbly. And the addition of Helen Mirren (as his wife "Amy") brings together two ...

Juggernaut

Richard Harris, Omar Sharif

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

One of the very best thrillers of the 70s
Juggernaut was more or less lumped in with the disaster movie genre when it came out in the mid-70s, possibly because the making of the film itself seemed so disastrous. Originally a Bryan Forbes film, Forbes was briefly replaced by Don Medford (who had also briefly ...

Mean Machine

John Forgeham, David Hemmings

Paramount, 2002

Great Film!!!
Excellent combination of comedy and action. Very interesting to have a British version also. Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham both are wonderful actors in this film. I've watched it many times and will watch it many times more!

Spy Game [HD DVD]
