Richard Clifford

William Devane, Ralph Bellamy

Mpi Home Video, 2001

A Movie Everyone Should See
I lived through the Missiles of October. It is still amazing and truly frightening to see how close we came to nuclear war. No Senator, Congressional Rep, candidate for President, or informed voter should miss this film. I'd seen it on TV, then bought the video. The ...

Much Ado About Nothing

Chris Barnes, Kate Beckinsale

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Great!
Wonderful movie! Now to find the Flying Karamazov Brothers' rendition of the Merchant of Venice.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

George Asprey, Alfred Bell

Sony Pictures, 1998

Branagh is a Genius, plain and simple.
There is a grand mad excess that triumphs in this film, overriding any of its faults. I go back to it again and again to revel in the brilliant acting, the dazzling photography, and the deliberate and bold intensity. It is very true to Mary Shelley's masterpiece, ...

As You Like It

Brian Blessed, Richard Clifford

Hbo Home Video, 2007

A movie that proves "all the world's a stage"
XXXXX This movie is based on William Shakespeare's romantic comedy play "As You Like It" (circa 1600), one of his greatest comedies. I feel that this movie catches the essence of the play with director Kenneth Branagh (who also adapted the play to the screen and ...

F for Fake - Criterion Collection

William Alland, Jean-Pierre Aumont

Criterion, 2005

A must-have for any "artist" or Welles fan
Most movies that I like are in the "not for everyone" category, and since this is one of my favorite films, that caveat is especially appropriate. F for Fake is an intellectually challenging film that really requires its viewer to pay attention and follow multiple ...

Stay Hungry

Jeff Bridges, Sally Field

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Before They Were Stars (or Govenor)
Stay Hungry is a film about the new south trying to preserve the old south. This was the turning point for all of the stars. The film takes place in Birmingham, Alabama. The Blake's have been part of Birmingham society forever. Craig (Jeff Bridges) recently lost ...

Corvette Summer

Mark Hamill, Annie Potts

Warner Home Video, 2005

One of my favorite coming of age movies
I remember this movie well. First saw it on HBO in 1979 and it is one of my favorite coming of age movies. The Custom Corvette used in the film has been bashed by Corvette fans since this movie came out and with good reason, it is utterly hideous. Annie Potts is simply ...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Full-Screen Edition) (Harry Potter 2)

Great

Magnum Force (Deluxe Edition)

Clint Eastwood, Hal Holbrook

Warner Home Video, 2008

A much better film than given credit for
Clint Eastwood still at his iconic best and some great talents involved front and behind camera. Much closer to the classic first film than the diminishing returns of the rest of the series when Harry disappointingly changed from almost super hero to just another cop. ...

The Long Ships

Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier

Sony Pictures, 2003

The Mother of all Voices
Like others I saw this film when I was a kid. Watching it now I still have the sense of fun I did when I was about ten. I'm not blind to it's faults. I love Richard Widmark but a Viking? It's a stretch to say the least. At least he doesn't have that sick Tommy Udo ...
