.....It's Time To Set The Record Straight.....
John Wayne's intrepid portrayal in this movie was taken from true life US Navy happenings that are skillfully blended for substenance for the backdrop of this story...John Wayne needs not to apoligize, either...there was...the raising of the USS Squaliss in 1939 just ...

House of Wax

Vincent Price, Frank Lovejoy

Warner Home Video, 2003

Grab Your 3-D Glasses for This One!
Vincent Price's "House of Wax" (1953) is a striking 3-Dementional movie adaptation of Lionel Atwell's classic "Mystery at the Wax Museum" (1933)- the '33 flick is on the reverse side of the 2003 DVD. As an emergent technological wonder, the 1953 version used ...

Miracle in the Rain

Jane Wyman, Van Johnson

Warner Home Video, 2007

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL !!!
I came across the title while cruising the Amazon web site. I had never heard of Miracle in the Rain before, and decided to purchase it based on the many favorable reviews. I just love old 1940's movies, romance especially, and I was not disappointed with the movie. I ...

Twelve O'Clock High (Special Edition)

Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe

20th Century Fox, 2007

A powerful film that stands up well nearly 60 years later.
This is a powerful movie that emphasizes the difficulties of military leadership and the pressures on airman who have comfortable beds and means in England and have to fly into death and terror days on end. While there are some powerful air battle scenes in the movie, ...

The Untouchables - Season Two, Vol. 1

Robert Stack, Ricardo Montalban

Paramount, 2008

Classic old-school TV
Season 2, volume 1 of the original "Untouchables" is now out. Historically, this series is about as accurate as "The Flintstones," but it's riveting crime melodrama nonetheless. (The original series is about 500 times better than the mediocre big-screen Brian De Palma ...

Starsky & Hutch - The Complete First Season

David Soul, Paul Michael Glaser

Sony Pictures, 2004

Starsky & Hutch Season One
This is one of my all-time favorite shows from the seventies. This first season DVD is great and brings back a lot of memories. I never missed an episode of Starsky & Hutch when I was a kid - and now I realize that this show has stood the test of time with me. I ...

Audie Murphy, Marshall Thompson

Universal Studios, 2004

To Hell and Back
Very interesting true story of Audie Murphys life, how he grew up supporting his mother and siblings from the age of 12, signed up in the army after many rejections from the various services. He distinguished himself in battle with honours all the time with humility ...

The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima

Susan Whitney, Carl Milletaire

Warner Home Video, 2006

Holy Mother...
When I was growing up, this movie was run at school every year. In the good old days, when religion was still allowed in America, it used to show up on TV once in a while. Now, you have to own it, and it is worth owning. Bought it to help my 6 year old grand-daughter ...

The Untouchables: Season Two, Vol. 2

Robert Stack, Paul Picerni

Paramount, 2008

Delivers everything it promises
I have purchased all four of the DVD's for seasons 1 and 2 and they are all I'd hoped for and more. They bring back all the excitement from when they were first shown. A real fun part is seeing all of the future stars when they were much younger, using the show as a ...

The Untouchables - Season 1, Vol. 1

Robert Stack, Walter Winchell

Paramount, 2007

Why not an "any region" DVD release
5 stars because it was the most scintillating show of its time, and still stands watching today -- for its outstanding star, narration and great guest stars. If only I could see it. Sadly because it is released as Region 1, the DVD isn't playable here in England. How ...

Republic Pictures, 2002

"I'm saddled, bridled, bitted, and tamed. Children ride me in Central Park for a dime." Unintended Hilarity!
"Sometimes I think I can act," Natalie Wood tells pal Carolyn Jones, "and other times I feel I don't have any talent at all." We can commiserate since, watching Wood struggling to play a Jewish teen who dreams of being a great theater actress, we feel the same way as ...

Strangers When We Meet

Kirk Douglas, Kim Novak

Sony Pictures, 2005

Dancing about architecture
A soap opera, sure, but one that's perfectly extravagant and surprisingly grown up, with unexpected moments of surprise and tension -- "Strangers," it's worth noting, has the best, most nerve-wracking unanswered phone call this side of "Once Upon a Time in America," ...

Capricorn One

Norman Bartold, Barbara Bosson

Lions Gate, 2008

The worst hoax ever in this movie...
... was made by the director who refused to listen to his characters who insisted that transmission signals are taking 21 minutes from Mars to Earth, but keep them talking to each other as if the point was not of any importance. I should have put only 2 stars, if it ...
