Modern Shakespeare
Great video. I used it in the classroom and showed several clips to coincide with the text. The casting director made some great choices and the director stays true to Shakespeare's story as he would want it told. The "To be or not to be" soliloquy is done ...

An inspiring feature film on Blessed Pope John XXIII starring Edward Asner in an acclaimed performance as the beloved pontiff who came from common stock and was known for his simplicity, goodness, courage and love for humanity. Shot on location in Rome and Italy, and produced by the Italian film company Lux Vide, makers of Pope John Paul II and ...
Citizen Ruth
Laura Dern
,
Swoosie Kurtz
Miramax, 2003
Brilliant satire
"Citizen Ruth" is an absolute gem, a brilliant satire of the abortion debate - an easy task to screw up and a very difficult one to pull off. It pulls it off with laughs, heart, and one of the most perfect final scenes I've ever seen.
Pinero
Benjamin Bratt
,
Giancarlo Esposito
Miramax, 2002
soulful and moving
Benjamin Bratt delivers an outstanding performance as poet/playwright Miguel Pinero. His accurate and believable portrayal of the "Nuyorican" deserves much more acclaim than the little attention it received when the movie was first released. While being a Nuyorican ...

Julius Caesar's Rome

Good for high school students
I purchased this DVD in order to have some videos on ancient Rome to show to my high school Latin classes, for which I am the teacher. First off, there are 5 hours worth of video, with segments covering the Roman Republic, Empire, notable figures such as Julius ...

Existential Vampire Flick
"Nadja" is not like any other vampire movie ever made. It is creepy, thoughtful, and very funny. This movie has viewers divided. Obviously the people who hate it did not get the humor, which is subtle and dark. Nadja is the daughter of Dracula living in modern ...

The First 48: The Most Intense Investigations
Det. Timm Angell
,
Sgt. Carlos De Los Santos
A&E Home Video, 2006
the absolute best thing on TV
Without a doubt, this is the most fascinating look into homocide ever done on television. The detectives are master-interrogators, the keenest observers and just (awe)some in so many ways. This show totally ruined CSI and a couple other "cop-shows" that I used to ...

St Peter
This is an outstanding movie that kept me glued to the screen through all three hours. Omar Sharif and the other apostles put forth a moving and realistic performance. And the guy who played Jesus was awesome. Plot is artistically woven and this will have you in ...

Cinematic Masterpiece on mediocre DVD
Gian-Carlo Menotti (yes, he's billed with a hyphen in the film) proved his cinematic mettle with this screen adaptation of his opera, _The Medium_, but unfortunately, has not made another film, and may be too old to make one now (he's in his nineties). The opera tells ...

The Unholy Battle for Rome (History Channel)
Unholy Battle for Rome
A&E Home Video, 2007
In September 1943, the German army marched into Rome, beginning a 9-month battle for control of the "Eternal City". It was the Allied aim to preserve the Holy City's sacred institutions and treasures. So the staggering human cost before the city's military conquest is nearly incomprehensible. The special is based on the book The Battle for ...

Mondo Macabre, 2005
Solid and Stylish Thriller
I was going to automatically and immediately buy this film because it was presented by Mondo Macabro, a name I have learned to really respect and trust. MM has introduced me now to about a half-dozen astonishing films I'd previously never even heard of. Well, I ...
