Bill Murray, Karen Allen

Paramount, 1999

Scrooged
This is a great Christmas movie! It is a new take on an old favorite that stars Bill Murray. He plays the sharp tongued Frank Cross, and he is really good at being mean. David Johansen was scary as the ghost of Christmas past, Carol Kane was the ghost of Christmas ...

The Cheap Detective

Peter Falk, Ann-Margret

Sony Pictures, 2001

"Why do they tell me these things?"
I loved Peter Falk in this movie. I picked up the DVD some time back and only just now had an opportunity to watch it. FUNNY! Of course, you really have to know Casablanca to appreciate just how funny it really is.

Silver Spoons - The Complete First Season

Ricky Schroder, Joel Higgins

Sony Pictures, 2007

LOVE IT!
This is one of the BEST TV shows that I grew up on! I can't wait for the next season! Another tv show I will let my children watch... since they just don't make tv shows like this anymore!

Three Days of the Condor

Three Days of the Condor
Received one installment from the pen of the Late, Great SYDNEY POLLACK . . . I've promised myself a copy --- for years . . . UNCOMMON suspense and skill . . .

Gideon's Trumpet

Henry Fonda, José Ferrer

Acorn Media, 2007

Landmark Film on Land Mark Case
Fonda's performance is perfect, and the film covers all the issues without missing a beat. I use it every year in my government class.

Universal Studios, 2004

horror drama
this was a gift to my sister who had been searching for it. she loved it.

Rollerball

John Houseman, Maud Adams

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Rollerball (1975) Is Sci-Fi And Social Commentary At It's Best--So Why Can't Amazon Differentiate Reviews For It And The Remake
"Rollerball" (1975) is a science fiction classic and the reviews of it should not be allowed to be defamed by those of the so called remake! I first saw this film when it came out, and it remains one of the few James Caan films I like. Moreover, the central ...

Another Woman

Gena Rowlands, Mia Farrow

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

The unexamined life is not worth living.
Another Woman (1988) is among Woody Allen's most underrated and overlooked films. It is a powerful and intelligent film--a "searing adult drama" (Leonard Maltin)--from a director at the top of his form. It tells the story of Marion (Gena Rowlands), an emotionally ...

The Paper Chase

Timothy Bottoms, Lindsay Wagner

20th Century Fox, 2003

its really about chasing little pieces of paper not the professors
You overachievers- chasing papers that will instantiate you. Its an endless cycle but they dont mean anything. Thats what this film is about. Not professors, not kingsfield, not the love interest and not even harvard. Marriage papers, diplomas, grades are all ...

Paramount, 2004

Six Characters in Search of an Author (Broadway Theatre Archive)

Wil Albert, Laurence Hugo

Kultur Video, 2002

Exploring the various levels of illusion and reality
Luigi Pirandello's 1921 play "Six Characters in Search of an Author" ("Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore") has the deserved reputation of being the first existentialist drama and having a profound effect on later playwrights, especially those practitioners of the ...

Tales of the Unexpected, Set 1

John Houseman

Acorn Media, 2004

unexpeced thrills
this is a very entertaining set,slightly off-center(not quite horror)and a refreshing look at the way out-of-the-ordinary stories can be told/retold.the stories have a slight hitchcockian feel about them,but the endings still have an originality about them.i enjoyed ...

The Fog

Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Stands the test of time...
John Carpenter's "The Fog" is one of those movies that traumatized me in my youth. Legit scares, great atmosphere, and frightening protagonists, "The Fog" is a must have for horror fans. With the ususal cast of Carpenter dependables, the story is masterfully woven ...

Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon (Broadway Theatre Archive)

James Broderick, John Houseman

Image Entertainment, 2001

Intense
This play seems to be about the choices we make in our lives and how they affect us and those around us in the long run. Also familiar are "the grass is always greener on the other side" scenarios as Ruth decides first that she loves Andy, then Rob, then, after ...

A Christmas Without Snow

Michael Learned, John Houseman

Delta, 2002

LET'S BUILD A PIPE ORGAN FOR CHRISTMAS
Really, folks, some of you have become quite jaded. I admit the DVD transfer is terrible - buy the tape, you all know what to do. As a minister's daughter I related to this movie. If it can go wrong it will at Christmas. The organ always has a problem, so does the ...
