The Prisoner - Complete Series Megaset (40th Anniversary Edition)

Patrick McGoohan

A&E Home Video, 2006

Who's Your Number Two?
Just a typical day...you slam your fists on your boss' desk in a rage.You feel like passing out, like you're just a number and there's no escape. You wake up in the morning and it's the same thing all over again. The piped-in music everyplace is driving you crazy, and ...

A Time to Kill

Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock

Warner Home Video, 1997

GREAT MOVIE
This is a GREAT movie, all star cast, excellent in entertainment. One of my faves...

Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh

Patrick McGoohan, George Cole

Walt Disney Video, 2008

Remarkably clever writing
I watched the Scarecrow when it first appeared on The Wonderful World of Color and enjoyed it immensely those many years ago. I will purchase this new DVD on the day it releases, replacing my rough, frequently-watched copy captured from TV. I own and have read the ...

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 ...

The Three Lives of Thomasina

Patrick McGoohan, Susan Hampshire

Walt Disney Video, 2004

Very Quaint Movie
This is one of Disney's classic live action films and time has been kind to it. Although several times through out the movie I realized that a movie like this one could not be made now a days because of the animal abuse issues, I think that the movie got across the ...

Braveheart

Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau

Paramount, 2000

Braveheart Review
After watching the movie, I became totally interesting in learning the history of William Wallace. I enjoy watching this movie so much. Mel Gibson did an excellent job in protraying William Wallace. This movie capture the reality between the warfare of England against ...

Silver Streak

Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh

20th Century Fox, 2004

Silver Streak
Probably one of the best comedies ever. I've seen it several times and have never been bored. Lots of action. It definitely belongs in my collection. Highly recommended.

Braveheart (Special Collector's Edition)

Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau

PARAMOUNT PICTURES, 2007

Braveheart Review

Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots

Vanessa Redgrave, Glenda Jackson

Universal Studios, 2007

One more and it would have been a hat trick!
Here we have two terrific films, appropriately packaged together. You get two DVDs packaged in a single case, each individually labeled. Perhaps if the distributor would have included Cromwell (1970, Richard Harris) it would have been the ultimate CD package ever, ...

Scanners

Jennifer O'Neill, Stephen Lack

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

One of Cronenberg's best
One of David Cronenberg's finest mashes of science fiction and pure horror, Scanners remains one of his most frightening and original films to date. Stephen Lack plays Cameron, a homeless vagrant who can hear other people's thoughts in his head. Soon enough, he is ...

Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) - The Complete Collection Megaset 2007

Patrick McGoohan, Peter Madden

A&E Home Video, 2007

Dangerman Megaset
This is great. Amazon's price is very reasonable too. I wish I'd known about this, before I spent $107 on the Australian release of Season 1. This megaset uses slimline cases to package all 3 seasons, plus the alternate opening sequence (with the "Secret Agent Man" ...

A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe

Rik Battaglia, Mario Brega

Televista, 2007

Seen it
I liked this as much as My Name is Nobody even though its way less arty. Especially funny was the part near the beginning when Hill gets to town and is dumped out of the coach into the dust with his saddle, but he just lays there in the street with the carts and ...

The Phantom

Billy Zane, Kristy Swanson

Paramount, 1999

The Phantom......Slam Evil!............
This action-adventure movie based on Lee Falk's comic strip, The Phantom, has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. Set in the 1930s, the film is loosely based on the first two Phantom stories, "The Singh Brotherhood" and "The Sky Band". The film tells us the story ...

Three Sovereigns for Sarah

Vanessa Redgrave, Kim Hunter

PBS (Direct), 2005

The folly of children,the politics of Church leads to America's most shameful blot
Arthur Miller's screenplay The Crucible and In Search of History - Salem Witch Trials (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives), as good as they are, cannot hold a candle to a witch's teet when it comes to THREE SOVEREIGNS FOR SARAH. I still hold this PBS special film to be ...

The Prisoner - Set 3: The Schizoid Man/Many Happy Returns/It's Your Funeral

Fenella Fielding, George Markstein

A&E Home Video, 2001

What was Patrick McGoohan really like? Find out here.
If you're not familiar with THE PRISONER, it concerns a secret agent who resigns his position, and is immediately transported to a most unusual prison camp known as The Village, where he is designated "No. 6." His captors go to increasingly drastic measures to find ...
