What's Happening - The Complete Third Season

Haywood Nelson, Ernest Thomas

The Program Exchange, 2005

Mable King, exit stage left
The third season of "What's Happening!" was an overall entertaining and interesting season. I own all three seasons, and, while many reviewers have expressed that this season was not as good as seasons one and two, I feel that it was. Yes, Mabel King is no longer on ...

One False Move

Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton

Sony Pictures, 1999

Indie gem...Paxton can act...
Like most people, I saw this first on cable. About the same time, I saw Sean Penn's directorial debut, "The Indian Runner". I had a great respect for Independent films, like, forever, and "One False Move" is among the best. Carl Franklin is to be commended for putting ...

Stakeout

Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2002

Better than most cop thriller
Richard Dreyfuss is excellent as a cop on a stakeout (along with partner Emilio Estevez) of pretty Madeleine Stowe (they have to watch her house through the night), and he falls in love with her. Before the movie is over there's a big car chase and an exciting climax ...

Christmas at Water's Edge

Earl Billings, Tom Bosley

Image Entertainment, 2007

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL I JUST LOVE IT
I tell you what these have got to be the funniest 2 movies around, with these characters in it, Rosie is a hoot and the other two Dreyfuss and Sheen oh my heavens, the first one is to die for. Also the dogs are a riot that was the perfect touch. Whoever thought this ...

What's Happening: The Complete Series

Haywood Nelson, Ernest Thomas

Sony Pictures, 2008

Hey, hey, hey . . . the entire series is now here!
If you are into late 70's comedy at a civilized price, you're looking at a series you'll want to consider. This series contains all 65 episodes in one compact box. Trying to buy this type of series by the season can be intensely frustrating and costly, especially if ...

What's Happening - The Complete First Season

Haywood Nelson, Ernest Thomas

The Program Exchange, 2004

Good Times & Happy Days with "What's Happening!!"
Who doesn't have fond memories of Shirley, Raj and Rerun? I love "What's Happening!!" It is such a great 70's show. My favorite character was the one & only Big Mama herself, Miss Mabel King (may she rest in peace.) Big Mama is Big Laughs! But everyone on the show was ...

American Splendor

Chris Ambrose, Nick Baxter

HBO Video, 2004

Excellent film
If you're unsure about buying this, it's worth checking out just to see the characters. The crazy thing is that they're essentially real people. Go to wikipedia and look up Harvey Pekar, Robert Crumb, Toby Radloff, and Joyce Brabner. It's a pleasant surprise that ...

Bustin' Loose

Richard Pryor, Cicely Tyson

Universal Studios, 2005

I was in this movie
I hadn't thought about this movie for some time. I was in this movie. I was a King County deputy (outside Seattle) at the time working off duty for set security on this movie and was invited to be in it. I am one of the two cops (the one with all the hair) at the end ...

Larger Than Life [Region 2]

Jerry Adler, Bill Murray

"LARGER THAN LIFE" IS A GREAT LITTLE MOVIE!
I am not a big Bill Murray fan, but this movie changed my mind. This is just a cute little movie. I own it and watch it quite often because it always makes me laugh and feel good. If anything, it is worth seeing just to watch Matthew McConaughey's role as a off the ...

Larger Than Life [Region 2]

Mr. 3000 (Widescreen Edition)

Bernie Mac, Angela Bassett

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2005

2.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line: The late Bernie Mac is appealing but the movie is long-on-formula and short-on-laughs; it's really not worth seeking out unless you're a baseball nut.

Antwone Fisher [Blu-ray]

Bob Banks, Earl Billings

20th Century Fox, 2009

REALLY GOOD FILM
ANTWONE FISHER Man Denzel really did a great job on his directorial debut; this was a great film and a real emotional story. I remember seeing this film when it first came out on DVD and thinking that I missed out on a great theatrical experience. This has got to be ...
