Masada - The Complete Epic Mini-Series

Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss

Koch Vision, 2007

Powerful Historical Drama - Recommended!
Much more than a costume drama, very powerful movie! I was a teenager when Masada aired as a mini-series back in the early 1980s and bought the movie to show my teenage children who are now studying Roman history. While some of the historical "facts" may be in ...

The Rutles - All You Need Is Cash

Dan Aykroyd, Terence Bayler

Rhino Theatrical, 2001

Take that Beatles!
The Rutles are the funniest parody band ever conceived (Sorry Spinal Tap), and this mock-rockumentary is absolutely hilarious, especially if you are a Beatles fan because then you will get all of the tiny subtleties that are given to you in the Python-esque comedy ...

The Last Valley

Michael Caine, Omar Sharif

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

One of my absolute favorite movies...

Marvelous
Wonderful stories, each episode a delight. We are savoring them. The image quality, while not 2008 standard, is more than sufficient. We are so immersed in the stories and the characters, that we don't even notice the '70's image quality. The only thing we're ...

Hilarious
I love this film. I actually saw it by accident because the video carried on recording all night after I recorded something else and I thought I might as well watch it, after all, the title was pretty amusing. It turns out that so is the rest of the film. I can't ...
