Patricia Hayes

Elizabeth Allan, Grace Arnold

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006

Brutality and everyday people
"Went the Day Well?" is incredibly suspenseful, historically fascinating, and surprisingly harsh. It is a no-nonsense film made for a wartime populace. While it incidentally packs in a lot of propaganda advice (how to spot suspicious activity, what to do in a ...

Willow

Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley

Fantastic Movie!
Willow was such a delightful movie. I've had the movie for years and about every two years I play it again--it's that entertaining. You would think Hollywood would take the hint and had sequels to this movie. I feel this way about Clash of the Titans also--still ...

The Best of Benny Hill

Benny Hill, Patricia Hayes

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Hill's "dumbstick" style of comedy is underappreciated
When I was putting this tape in the VCR, my wife, unfamiliar with the comedy of Benny Hill, asked me if it was slapstick. My response was that it is "dumbstick." To me, that one word sums up the zany antics of Benny Hill. Hill is English, so some of his routines are ...

The Singing Princess

Patricia Hayes, Stephen Jack

Lions Gate, 2005

for the more serious animation buffs...
THE SINGING PRINCESS (aka "The Rose of Bagdad") is really only notable from an historical perspective. The first feature-length Italian animated movie, it was acclaimed at the annual Venice Film Festival in 1949. The English-dubbed version cast 14-year-old musical ...

The Shell Seekers

Angela Lansbury, Irene Worth

Hallmark, 2002

Movie review
The Shell Seekers This is a great adaptation of Rosamund Pilcher's novel, The Shell Seekers. Angela Landsbury does a nice job playing the main character. Great addition to any Pilcher fan collection.

Strait-Jacket

Joan Crawford, Diane Baker

Sony Pictures, 2002

This is Joan Crawford, I urge you to see my new motion picture Strait-Jacket, from the beginning
Lucy Harbin took an axe She gave her husband 40 whacks And when she saw what he had done She gave his girlfriend 41 This movie is so incredibly over-the-top. I love how, in the beginning they just have to say that Lucy is "7 years older than her husband." ...

Babylon 5 - The Gathering (TV Premiere DVD)

Michael O'Hare, Tamlyn Tomita

Warner Home Video, 2004

BABYLON 5-THE GATHERING (TV PREIMERE)
IT WAS NICE TO SEE THIS SERIES TV PILOT, AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY MEANT TO BE SEEN, AND ENJOYED. THE SHOW WAS ENJOYED, AND IT BROUGHT BACK GOOD TIMES AND PLEASANT MEMORIES OF A ENJOYABLE TV PROGRAM. MANY THANKS.

A Fish Called Wanda

Maria Aitken, Al Ashton

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

This fish is delicious...
I didn't think that I was going to adore this movie as much as I do; don't really know why, but my expectations were rather low. I know, Kline had won the Oscar and so maybe that should have sparked a little more interest, or at least faith in me, but I still saw this ...

The NeverEnding Story

Barret Oliver, Gerald McRaney

Imaginative and beautiful
This is one of the most wonderfully imaginative movies that every child should see. It has wonderful imagery as well as a tone that encourages them to do their own imagining. I remember loving this movie when I was a child. When it came to DVD, I bought it up ...

Trouble Bound [Region 2]

Michael Madsen, Patricia Arquette

great road movie
This is one rockin road pic, it just keeps getting stranger, I cuoldn't stop laughing. Rustam Branaman and Billy Bob thornton are great as bad guys.
