The Last Emperor [Blu-ray]
John Lone, Joan Chen
Criterion Collection, 2008
Previous reviews incorrect.
The shorter version of the film is the director's preferred version of the film. The longer version was a version he had cut for television distribution, and while its a shame that the extended version will not be included, rest assured that the shorter version is the ...

The Ray Bradbury Theater - Complete Series (65 Episodes)
William Shatner, Jeff Goldblum
Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2005
Ray Bradbury is my hero.
Ok I'm a Ray Bradbury fan so get ready for a good positive review of this material. I dunno what it is there's just something about Ray. I like his style. I guess his stories or some of the acting and era these shows were filmed in aren't going to be to everyone's ...

Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition)
John Dimech, José Ferrer
Columbia Pictures, 2002
An Unlikely Masterpiece
I find it amazing this movie was ever made. A three-and-a-half hour epic about a strange, masochistic, messianic, probably gay, possibly mentally disturbed British military officer having an identity crisis while going native & riding a camel back and forth in the ...

The Lion in Winter
Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn
MGM (Video & DVD), 2001
The Lion in Winter
This is one of the best movies made! As close to Shakespeare as you can get in modern times. The dialogue is incredible,especially in the interaction of Hepburn and O'Toole. They also seem to be having such a good time with it.The whole cast couldn't have been chosen ...

Masada - The Complete Epic Mini-Series
Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss
Koch Vision, 2007
Powerful Historical Drama - Recommended!
Much more than a costume drama, very powerful movie! I was a teenager when Masada aired as a mini-series back in the early 1980s and bought the movie to show my teenage children who are now studying Roman history.
While some of the historical "facts" may be in ...

Man of La Mancha
Peter O'Toole, Sophia Loren
MGM (Video & DVD), 2004
As good today as so many years ago.
I really like being able to get just about anything on DVD. This classic is a good example. Now if they'd just put "No Highway in the Sky" on DVD I'd be a happy camper-but I'm on the wait list.
I highly recommend this DVD. It brings back poignant memories for me ...

The Last Emperor - Criterion Collection
Joan Chen, John Lone
Criterion Collection, 2008
A film that solidifies my faith in cinema....
This film, along with 1900, are Bernardo Bertolucci's greatest films (so far). The Last Emperor is one of my all time favorites, safely secure in my top ten list. The late Gene Siskel called this film "one of the greatest films I've seen since I became a film critic" ...

The forgotten epic
It is exciting to find this available for US distribution as it was previously only found in other region code DVD offerings, you had to have a non-region player to see it. The photography is grand and the score works. The opening and closing titles are wonderful ...

An Extraordinary Charmer
A five-year old girl was to be my guest for dinner (along with her parents), and I wanted to have something she could entertain herself with while the adults talked. With the advice of a store clerk, I rented five or six different titles suitable for young children. ...
