Prom Night (Widescreen)
Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen
Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2007
"The killer's gonna getcha!"
Canada was one of the key players at the forefront of the slasher movie wave of the early 1980s. "Prom Night" was released during the crest of this phenomenon and the filmmakers were among the "A" list of Canadian horror, considering that the excellent music score ...

The Count of Monte Cristo
James Caviezel, Guy Pearce
Buena Vista Home Video, 2002
This movie had a story
So much better than any movie I have seen lately. I had never read the book or seen the movie and I just loved it. It captured my imagination and the acting was so believable. Jim C. was the Count. I want to see it again and again.

Treasure Planet
Roscoe Lee Browne, Corey Burton
Walt Disney Video, 2003
Wonderful film, should do theatrical re-release in 3D
I am probably one of the few who did see "Treasure Planet" in the theater. I found it thoroughly enjoyable. I think part of the problem with the poor showing at theaters, was that the movie, overall, was geared more towards teen males and adults (those who usually do ...

Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman
Warner Home Video, 1997
Finally! One of my favorite movies of all time gets the treatment it deserves!
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is probably one of the finest epics of its time. Too bad the original DVD release did not do the film justice. Put simply the original DVD sucks! The big issue is that its a flipper and that you had to flip the disc to watch the second half ...

The Three Musketeers
Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland
Walt Disney Video, 1999
Childish interpretation of immortal Dumas's novel
When I first saw this movie, I liked it. The Dumas's fans can object that this movie is not a screen version of his novel. And I will say - that's why it's good. If you show The Three Musketeers with dramatic end to the child, he will be upset. But Disney studio made ...

Before Night Falls
Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp
New Line Home Video, 2001
revolution eating its own children, best since Gulag Archipelago.
This is a great film, that brings home the horror of totalitarianism - and its very human toll - from a unique perspective: suppressed gays and secondarily writers. I was utterly riveted by this, from the emergence of talent to the spiritual destruction of a human ...

Dead Man
Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover
Miramax, 2000
A renowned masterwork!
Dead man constitutes a golden cinematographic jewel in all senses. Not only because it develops a mesmerizing and mature script, but besides carves in relief the vital importance of the author's cinema's genre, so overlooked for many people but that must survive in ...

Basquiat
Jeffrey Wright, Michael Wincott
Miramax, 2002
I appreciate it more each time I watch it
Well, I love the artwork of Basquiat; add to that the fantastic actors (Jeffrey Wright is genius); the film manages to capture the essence of Basquiat's short but talented life in a celebratory and poignant way. As time goes on, this film gains even more relevance. ...

An American Christmas Carol
Henry Winkler, Dorian Harewood
Image Entertainment, 1999
Great retelling in an Amercan Setting
I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast on TV. I loved it then and loved being able to watch it on DVD for the first time in almost 30 years. Other reviewers have provided story details, so I'll just say that this is a sweet movie that has aged well. If you ...

Edge of Your Seat Collection (Kiss the Girls / Along Came a Spider / Double Jeopardy)
Morgan Freeman, Monica Potter
Paramount, 2007
A GREAT TRIPLE FEATURE
This is a great collection of movies guarenteed to entertain you for hours. I wish there were more Alex Cross movies made. I understand that the reason for this is because Morgan Freeman, who played Cross in the two movies, is not interested in pursuing this role. ...

Alien Resurrection
Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder
20th Century Fox, 2007
SOLID ACTION PACKED INSTALLMENT! RESURRECTION?... THIS SERIES NEVER NEEDED IT! 3 1/2 STARS!
Action packed forth installment is actually very good! We get to see more aliens than ever in this fun and fast paced finale(so far??). While the first and third 'Alien' movies were deliberately slow, building tension along the way. This film feels more like 'Aliens' ...
