MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

In the top 3 Bond films
It is almost inexplicable that this movie isn't more widely heralded as a benchmark for the series, but I'll give it a shot. First, Lazenby made one of the gravest errors in Bond history by announcing that this would be his only Bond film PRIOR to the movie's release. ...

The Painted Veil

Naomi Watts, Edward Norton

Warner Home Video, 2007

A loveless marriage and a Cholera epidemic in 1925 China
This 2006 film is the third movie adaptation of the 1925 novel by Somerset Maugham. The film brings us back to that time and place where Brits were considered the good guys when they moved to China and tried to help the people. It brought me right there too, being ...

Theater Of Blood/MadHouse (Midnite Movies Double Feature)

Vincent Price, Diana Rigg

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Horror at its best!
A cracking boxset if you like your horror traditional, not that frightening and just a little camp. The story which runs through each film is not that different, but there are some serious actors in both whose performances can not be over looked. Classic. Well worth an ...

King Lear

Laurence Olivier, Colin Blakely

Kultur Video, 2000

Makes the Peter Brooks version look bad
If you want to see King Lear presented the way it should be, then this is for you. If you want to hear the lines spoken with total clarity and intelligence, the story presented with total understanding, almost every part played with total mastery, then this is for you. ...

Victoria & Albert

Victoria Hamilton, Jonathan Firth

A&E Home Video, 2001

Fairy tale Love Story you want to believe.
Might not be historically accurate, but worth while watching. Brilliant performance on both Victoria Hamilton and Jonathan Firth.

Vincent Price, Diana Rigg

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Great Films by Horrors Greatest. Disc Breakdown Below.
This box set is a great add to any film lover's collection. The set is also great for those who are interested in Price's work but have yet to see much of it. I suggest watching the films by date. The last two films in the set are the most autobiographical of Price ...

The Avengers - The Complete Emma Peel Megaset (2006 Collector's Edition)

Diana Rigg, Patrick MacNee

A&E Home Video, 2006

Escape in the fantasy of yesterday
The real reason for my buying this collection is the "black and white" set from season 65/66...For me "The Avengers" lost something when they went to color. I really enjoy escaping into that fantasy world of "Steed and Emma" as they confront and combat all thats not ...

The Worst Witch (The Movie)

Diana Rigg, Charlotte Rae

Bfs Entertainment, 2004

The Worst Witch: Remembering Childhood
I have loved this movie for many years. It reminds me of how hard it is for a preteen girl to get along with others and to fit in. The mean girls (Ethel Hallow and her cohorts) and the nice girls (Maude and the others) make life for a poor misfit girl who is trying ...

Evil Under the Sun

Peter Ustinov, Jane Birkin

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Evil Under the Sun, Peter Ustinov
I do like this version of Evil Under the Sun. It has a beautiful island setting, Spain I think. The acting is fantastic and the story is very well put together. However, I think I like the David Suchet version of this better. This movie heavily features Cole Porter ...

The Bible Collection

Elizabeth Hurley, Michael Gambon

Turner Home Ent, 2005

A Great Bible Visual!
This brown cover Bible Collection includes the 6 following dvds: ABRAHAM, DAVID,JACOB,JOSEPH, MOSES, SAMSON and DELILAH. I usually don't write reviews as a critical writer but, I thought it was important to convey the greatness of this collection for Bible ...

Snow White

Diana Rigg, Billy Barty

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

EXCELLENT FILM VERSION: VERY FAITHFUL TO ORIGINAL BROTHERS GRIMM FAIRY TALE
Michael Berz wrote and directed this excellent live-action film version of "Snow White." This version, which is very faithful to the original Brothers Grimm fairy-tale, is definitely one of the very best of the beloved Cannon Movie Tales Series. The film begins ...

The Last King - The Power and the Passion of Charles II

Martin Turner (II), Rufus Sewell

A&E Home Video, 2004

Great Drama and History
The wife and I loved watching this drama closely tracing the history of this British monarch.

Samson and Delilah (The Bible Collection)

Elizabeth Hurley, Michael Gambon

Turner Home Ent, 2005

Better than Average Biblical Drama
TNT produced a wonderful series of Old Testament dramas. All are good but some are better than others. This one falls somewhere in the middle. Samson is a child gifted with superhuman strength. He is an Israelite and his people are under the thumb of the ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Judi Dench, Donald Eccles

Water Bearer Films,, 2005

A naked Judi Dench
An independent film Directed by Peter Hall and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon-Avon. This is one of those gems that allow many famous personalities of the time to display a little culture. There are many fun facets of this film; right off we notice all ...

In The Beginning

Martin Landau, Jacqueline Bisset

Lions Gate, 2001

THE BIBLE STORY BOOK COME TO LIFE
In The Beginning DVD When I was growing up my Mother gave me a book called the Bible Story Book. It had a child's summary of the great stories from the Bible in it. This DVD gives you the same thing, but in movie fashion. From Adam and Eve to Moses receiving the ...
