Jane Eyre
This is by far the best Jane Eyre movie yet. I had to own this classic. My 13 year old Grandaughter was here for a visit this summer. We watched it together and now she has fallen for it too. My husband also agrees that is is very well done. Love it!

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep [Blu-ray]

David Morrissey, Marshall Napier

Sony Pictures, 2008

The Water Horse DVD
Wonderful family entertainment. Kept the kids (and adults) riveted to the screen! Especially enjoyed the Extra Features on second disc.

The Complete Musketeers (The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers)

Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003

Outstanding adventure films!
I remember when this version of "The Three Musketeers" was due to be released in the 70's...it was promoted as being more realistic in the atmosphere, attire and weaponry use of the time depicted. It hits square on in all these areas! The more gritty atmosphere (along ...

The Orphanage

Belén Rueda, Fernando Cayo

New Line Home Video, 2008

Complex Ghost Tale
The Orphanage Yes, this movie only has its main voice over, and that is Spanish. You cannot watch the movie and listen to the characters in English, French, or any other language on this DVD. There are subtitles for both English and Spanish though. If you don't like ...

Doctor Zhivago (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Omar Sharif, Julie Christie

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 2001

Dr Zhivago Among The Finest All Time Classic's
I wish I could live a life as full as Dr. Zhivago. Every so often one realizes that when events in history happen, it changes the lives of people to the extent that can only be read about or viewed to believe. The loneliness, and then joy, Fear,uncertainty, and ...

Chaplin

Robert Downey Jr., Geraldine Chaplin

Lions Gate, 1998

So Right To Have Remained British
It is probably not the best film ever made about Charlie Chaplin, and I even think it is far behind Charlie Chaplin's own autobiography on which it is supposed to be based. But it makes a couple of points rather well. First, show business is business first of all. ...

The Age of Innocence

Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, Geraldine Chaplin

Sony Pictures, 2001

Scorsese's beautifully filmed AGE OF INNOCENCE
We often forget that long before THE DEPARTED,THE AVIATOR and GANGS OF NEW YORK, director Martin Scorsese and the same crew made a sumptuous and beautifully intoxicating THE AGE OF INNOCENCE in 1993.This film is so intricate with each little detail that to revisit it ...

Nashville

David Arkin, Barbara Baxley

Paramount, 2000

Gift
I purchased this as a gift for my dad. He enjoys the movie. It arrived quickly and in good condition.

Home for the Holidays

Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great underrated film
This great story about a more "normal" family than most will ever admit starts funny and ends nicely (and you will need to pay attention to get it). In between we are taken on a roller coaster ride of insanity, dark humor, insight, observation and discomfort - as in ...

The Orphanage [Blu-ray]

Belén Rueda, Fernando Cayo

Picturehouse Entertainment, 2008

Complex Ghost Tale
The Orphanage Yes, this movie only has its main voice over, and that is Spanish. You cannot watch the movie and listen to the characters in English, French, or any other language on this DVD. There are subtitles for both English and Spanish though. If you don't like ...

Talk to Her (Hable con Ella)

Geraldine Chaplin, Chus Lampreave

Sony Pictures, 2003

Talk to Her
A slyly subversive ode to love in all its myriad forms, Almodóvar's "Talk to Her" is an intimate, involving tale that examines the dark and even perverse nature of masculinity with great compassion. As always, Almodóvar coaxes exemplary performances from his actors, ...

Agatha Christie Mysteries (Death on the Nile / Evil Under the Sun / The Mirror Crack'd)

Angela Lansbury, Geraldine Chaplin

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003

Timeless classics
I was so delighted to find these wonderful Agatha Christie mysteries out on DVD finally I've seen them all a few times but the stories are still intriguing. It's also a delight to see many of the old stars in their glory days and some of today's stars in their ...

The Gold Rush (2 Disc Special Edition)

Sam Allen, Henry Bergman

Warner Home Video, 2003

His Best Ever
Sometimes it only takes a few words. 5 stars to Charlie who can still show everyone today that you don't have to have sound to be funny. Even if you don't like silent movies you have to give this one a silent nod of respect and be sure to dance the "roll dance."

A Christmas Carol: The Musical

Jason Alexander, Brian Bedford

Lions Gate, 2005

Fantastic!
A Christmas Carol musical was a complete hit with me & my kids. It is now weeks, almost a month after Christmas, and my kids are still singing the songs from this movie. I saw the live version of this musical years ago (under another production, of course) and fell ...
