Ed Sullivan

Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn

Paramount Home Video, 2000

Excellent, engrossing, substantial complexity --
and one of Gene Hackman's greatest performances. The man is so real, and the character so believable, you'd think Hackman were the character. Except he isn't, because the character is a hackman, while Hackman is an extraordinary actor. Probably Cruise's best ...

2001 - A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]

Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood

Warner Home Video, 2007

Thankyou, Mr. Kubrick
Still a teenager when I first viewed "2001" at a tiny off-campus one screen theater....I recently bought the Bluray disc version....and viewed it on my 1080p Panasonic plasma screen....fantasically vivid in color and detail...simply amazing. It was as if I'd never seen ...

The Sting

Paul Newman, Robert Shaw

Universal Studios, 1998

One of my ten favorite movies!
I bought the "Legacy Series" disc to get a wide screen version, and it is a very fine upgrade from my older 4:3 aspect version. I can't comment on the additional content of the second disc. I generally don't even watch that stuff.

The Abyss (Special Edition)

Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

20th Century Fox, 2003

DVD COLLECTION
Every time i see this movie on television i watch it. It doesnt matter at what part it is at or what time of day. I have to watch it. I think it is my favorite all time movie besides the Wizard of Oz. In all the years since it has come out on DVD, for some reason, ...

That Darn Cat!

Hayley Mills, Dean Jones

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2005

The FBI Informer: A Beautiful Seal-Point Siamese Cat
Many reviewers have discussed the hilarious aspects of this film, and I will focus instead on its chain of suspenseful events. Will the bank-teller hostage complete the "Help" message on her watch before her captors see it? Will the watch around the cat's neck come ...

Bye Bye Birdie

Janet Leigh, Dick Van Dyke

Sony Pictures, 1999

Musical that holds up well
Ann-Margret runs away with this hit 60's musical. Perfect casting at its best; it's easy to believe her as Kim, a teenager in love with Hugo (Bobby Rydell) who also swoons over Conrad Birdie (Jesse Pearson), a thinly veiled version of Elvis. Although it's hard to ...

Hang 'em High

Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

Never Hang The Wrong Man...Without Finishing The Job
After a few years as Rowdy Yates in the TV series "Rawhide", Clint Eastwood managed to attain international superstardom via the trilogy of wacky, violent Italian spaghetti westerns he made with director Sergio Leone in the mid-1960s. And then in 1968, he returned to ...

Marty (1954)

Ernest Borgnine, Betsy Blair

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

enjoy the sunnyside of life
"Marty" is one of those movies that everyone can appreciate because it has such a universal message. Every time I watch this sleeper hit it makes me cry because it's uplifting and a little sentimental. Mr. Ernest Borgnine was amazing as the lonely and self-described ...

The Other

Uta Hagen, Diana Muldaur

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2006

creepy older movie...
Not your typical Hollywood ending. You will think you have figured out the secret early on, but you will never guess what is coming at the end. There is implied magic, definite mental illness, murder, but the best is the ending that was to me a little unnerving. (It ...

Children of the Corn 3 - Urban Harvest

Daniel Cerny, Ron Melendez

Dimension, 2001

Children of the Corn in tha Hood
'Children of the Corn 3' is pretty damn entertaining. Not as good as two, but still superior to the original and well worth watching. It's certainly never effective as a straight horror movie, but it's got plenty of camp appeal and some amusing gore. This one is ...

The Four Complete Ed Sullivan Shows Featring The Beatles And many more...

Ed Sullivan & The Beatles

Sofa Home Entertainment, 2005

A slice of U.S. history
Most 50- and 60-somethings remember when the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. But after watching this DVD, you'll be amazed at what you've forgotten -- Davy Jones as a child singing "I'll Do Anything" from Oliver, Frank Gorshin doing a hilarious -- and ...

The Four Complete Historic Ed Sullivan Shows featuring the Beatles and other Artists

Ed Sullivan; The Beatles

Sunset Home Visual Entertainment (SHE), 2006

Priceless. Historical,
There is no way that this video/DVD can be less than 5 stars, you get EXACTLY what is advertised: The four complete 1 hour shows in which the Beatles appeared . . . campy commercials, tech malfunctions, schlockly comedy routines and all. Every second of each show, ...
