The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Jonathan R. Scott, Richard Dempsey

Homevision, 2006

Two Stories Stories for the Price of One, PLUS Great Production
Preface: Although I have previously reviewed BBC's "The Chronicles of Narnia" as a series (sometime ago now), I will still be reviewing each installment individually, in order to give them all the detailed, and attentive critique they deserve. Part 2: Prince Caspian ...

Stir of Echoes (Special Edition)

Zachary David Cope, Kevin Bacon

Lions Gate, 2004

Finding that "open door"
Samuel Taylor Coleridge once described it as a "willing suspension of disbelief." If you read a book or see a movie that stretches the boundaries of reality, or so you believe, but the art compels you to enter into its dimension and you do so, you have willingly ...

The Adventures of Francis the Talking Mule, Vol. 1 (Francis the Talking Mule / Francis Goes to the Races / ...

Donald O'Connor, Piper Laurie

Universal Studios, 2004

We are waiting...
This is a fantastic set of old-time comedies. Where is volume 2?!?!?! Like I am sure of so many others, we want it now!

The Singing Detective

Michael Gambon, Patrick Malahide

BBC Warner, 2003

The Best Thing You'll ever watch
Some have suggested that "The Singing Detective" is the greatest production ever done for television; I could not even suggest a close number two! I originally was inspired to look at The Singing Detective because I enjoyed the "Maigret" series so much. I thought ...

The Tarzan Collection Starring Johnny Weissmuller, Vol. 2 (Tarzan Triumphs / Tarzan's Desert Mystery / Tarzan ...

Johnny Weissmuller, Brenda Joyce

Warner Home Video, 2006

The "real" though not authentic Tarzan
For folks my age (I'm 68), the only "real" Tarzan is Weismuller. Of course, he bears no resemblance to the Burrough's character. But he's the one I saw as a youngster. All these movies are essentially alike, but they are great nostalgia and I continue to enjoy them. ...

Employee of the Month [Blu-ray]

Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson

Lions Gate, 2007

Underated. Very good movie.
Even though Jessica Simpson is smoking hot.. I didn't rate this movie on that fact. This movie reminded me of those feel good movies of the 80s, where "yes", the good guy wins in the end. Yes, this movie was somewhat predictable, but alot of movies nowa dayz are as ...

Juice

Omar Epps, Tupac Shakur

Paramount, 2001

Juice
I have seen Juice many times and it is still as powerful as the first time. Bishop, Quincy (Q), Raheem and Eric (Steel) are four very different friends looking for respect, they call it juice. They skip school and spend their days hustling at the pool hall and hiding ...

The Desperate Trail

Andrea Camarena-Lindsay, George Cook (II)

Turner Home Ent, 2005

The Desperate Trail
As an avid Sam Elliot fan The Desperate Trail depicts the subtleness of life in the West with the thrill of the chase as Sam Elliot is determined to capture his prisoner and settle the score for her killing his son. When I learned what her husband did to her, I ended ...

The Highwayman

Stephen McHattie, Laura Harris (II)

Lions Gate, 2000

Watchable....Sometimes.
I saw this film last night. It was presented as a horror feature. It was more like a poorman's Natural Born Killers. Louis Gosset Jr. has an over the top performance and Jason Priestly has a somewhat respectable performance as a psycho. If there was actually a horror ...

The Interpreter (Full Screen Edition)

Yvan Attal, Earl Cameron

Universal Studios, 2005

The Interpreter
A modern day thriller; a story about greed and terrorism with a background of grief and loss. Acting is excellent.

Ultraviolet

Stephen Moyer, Daniel Moynihan

Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2001

Don't sleep on this one!
When I first saw this a few years back, I only caught three of the episodes and they weren't in order. I enjoyed the concept and episodes back then. Seeing all of them in their intended order was a treat. The concept and execution of this series was brilliant. It does ...

The Lost Films of Laurel & Hardy: The Complete Collection, Vol. 9

Clyde Cook, Oliver Hardy

Image Entertainment, 2000

Good to fill a hole in your collection, but not for newbies
Perhaps more so than any of the other discs in this series (with the possible exception of the so-called tenth and final installation, 'Laurel and Hardy and Friends,' which only features them in one of their sound shorts and making a cameo appearance in an Our Gang ...
