Blueprint For Murder / Man In the Attic

Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters

20th Century Fox, 2007

Jack Palance as Jack the Ripper.......
Man in the Attic starring Jack Palance as Jack the Ripper is a very well made gothic mystery. A remake almost scene for scene of The Lodger from 44' is well worth a look. Palance plays the part with more horror than Leiger and the ending is a pit different but is ...

Twelve O'Clock High (Special Edition)

Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe

20th Century Fox, 2007

A powerful film that stands up well nearly 60 years later.
This is a powerful movie that emphasizes the difficulties of military leadership and the pressures on airman who have comfortable beds and means in England and have to fly into death and terror days on end. While there are some powerful air battle scenes in the movie, ...

Studio Classics - Best Picture Collection (Sunrise / How Green Was My Valley / Gentleman's Agreement / All ...

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

20th Century Fox, 2003

Collection does not overlap the other Best Picture collections
These are four of the eight Best Picture winners produced by Fox Film Corporation, the others being "Cavalcade", "Sound of Music", "Patton", and "The French Connection". I'll give a brief run down on my opinion of each film: Sunrise (1927) - Winner of "Best Artistic ...

Full Metal Jacket

Adam Baldwin, Bruce Boa

Warner Home Video, 2007

Another brutally honest depiction of Kubrick's vision...
I love me some Stanley Kubrick. I just wanted to say that, because in all honesty I can't think of a single director who has ever worked that has come close to delivering what Kubrick has delivered to cinema. Film after film, moment after moment, emotion after ...

All About Eve

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2003

A Great Package
The extras alone are worth the price of the set. First, the movie is 2-1/4 hrs. long, and never seems to drag. Second there are two feature-length commentaries (the 2nd is the superior). Then there's the 2nd disk with wonderful insights into the people involved in the ...

All About Eve (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2008

A Great Package
The extras alone are worth the price of the set. First, the movie is 2-1/4 hrs. long, and never seems to drag. Second there are two feature-length commentaries (the 2nd is the superior). Then there's the 2nd disk with wonderful insights into the people involved in the ...

Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray]

Adam Baldwin, Bruce Boa

Warner Home Video, 2007

A Kubrick Classic in Hi-Def
There are not many movies worth purchasing again just because they're now available in Blu-Ray, but this is one of them. The message of Kubrick's Vietnam War drama is more poignant when seen in all its original splendor. Don't miss you chance to experience the ...

20th Century Fox, 2005

OTTO PREMINGER, OPUS 15
***** 1950. Based on a novel by William L. Stuart, WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS was produced and directed by Otto Preminger. A violent policeman, son of a thief, accidentally kills a key witness of the murder he must investigate. The father of the dead man's wife is charged ...

Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition)[HD DVD]

Mysterious Island (Widescreen)

Michael Craig, Joan Greenwood

Sony Pictures, 2002

Classic from yester-year
I agree with others about beauty in the simplicity of the special effects. When this movie was made it was cutting edge. I watched it with my husband (who has seen it several times before) and rather enjoyed it. The battle scene with the giant chicken is priceless. I ...

Clambake

Elvis Presley, Shelley Fabares

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Don't read this if you don't want a personal story about one of the cast. Angelique Pettyjohn.
It you want a top review of "Clambake", then read the four and five star comments. If you are down on Elvis to begin with, you'll want the one and two star reviews. Let's face it, Elvis was one of the greatest talents in the 20th century. Had the Colonel not ...

Decision Before Dawn

Richard Basehart, Gary Merrill

20th Century Fox, 2006

Might Be best Movie About Intelligence Ever
Just saw this movie today on TV (not for the first time) and had to review it despite its age. It has never gotten the attention it deserves I guess because it is too true to life (no sexy blonds or dinner jackets). It is an excellent example of tactical Human ...

Huckleberry Finn (Full Screen)

Jeff East, Paul Winfield

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

these reviewers are retarded
Seriously, this is the best Huck Finn movie available. The songs are wonderful, the characters are interesting and funny, and the actors are tremendous. You get a true feeling of solidarity between Huck and Jim and if your like me then you might have a tear in your eye ...
