Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2 Disc Special Edition)
Ian Abercrombie, Corey Burton

Warner Home Video, 2008

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the 2008 CGI-animated theatrical film that serves as the kick-off to the weekly animated Clone Wars TV series. The concept came about way back in 1977's original Star Wars film, when Leia says in her message to Obi-Wan Kenobi "Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars." Initially a simple offhand ...

Holocaust

Tom Bell, Joseph Bottoms

Paramount, 2008

Holocaust DVD Review
I first saw this series as a 9 year old on TV in 1979 and I really loved it back than. At that age, most of the ideas of the series went straight over my head. I have seen the series on DVD in 2008 and this is really awesome. It's really worth watching. And also serves ...

October Sky (Special Edition)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper

Universal Studios, 2005

A wonderful movie to share with family and friends.
Generally speaking my wife and I do not go to the movies. We both agree that the overwhelming majority of films being produced today are vulgar, poorly written, and that the special effects in most are greatly overdone. We generally prefer to stay at home and watch ...

Doctor Who: The Brain of Morbius (Episode 84)

Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen

BBC Warner, 2008

Finally!! I have been waiting for this one!
I really wish BBC would get on the ball releasing more of the Hinchcliffe/Holmes "gothic horror" period of Doctor Who. They are some of my very favorites. Inspired by the excellent Hammer horror films, they drip with ambiance and mood, and were very creepy when I was ...

Amadeus

F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce

Warner Home Video, 1997

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Even though I typically only watch The Director's Cut of this film, this version is still good to have. For one, it's the original theatrical cut of the movie that was released back in 1984, second, it has a feature that the two-disc director's cut does not have: an ...

Doctor Who - The Invasion of Time (Episode 97)

Tom Baker, Louise Jameson

BBC Video, 2008

WHAT IF... the Doctor became EVIL? This one has it all...Timelords, Sontarans, Barbarians and the Lord President Doctor.
The premise of "THE INVASION OF TIME" is simple, but genius: WHAT IF... the Doctor became EVIL? "Invasion" is a sequel of sorts to the Doctor's last visit to his homeworld of Gallifrey in "Deadly Assassin" in which the Doctor saves the Timelords from the Master and in ...

Goodbye Mr Chips (1969)

Peter O'Toole, Petula Clark

Warner Home Video, 2009

Wonderful
That this is not available in DVD is incomprehensible. Who still has a VHS??? The last time I saw this I cryed, grown up man that I am and was ,next to my date at a retro movie house. "A" performances by all, music is a embellishment to the story, not a distraction. ...

Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)

Dylan Baker, Michael Brockman

Dreamworks Video, 2003

Atmospheric Prohibition-era coming-of-age gem
Nothing I can say about this great movie hasn't already been said, but I love it so dearly I must write about it. It is ultimately a story of love and betrayal, duty and devotion, tempered by the stark black-and-white sensibilities of 30s-era crime lords and the social ...

Charlie Wilson's War (Widescreen)

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts

Universal Studios, 2008

Great movie for the older members of a family
Tom Hawks and Julia Roberts do a good job, but I really think Philip Hoffman who is exceptional as the old, crusty, operative. My wife and I bought the DVD for our viewing and watched a couple of times when our son and daughter borrowed it to watch it with their ...

Doctor Who: The Invisible Enemy/K9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend

Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen

BBC Video, 2008

more please
what can I say, the more Doctor Who that is released the better the world is. great redone special effects and of course the original version.

The Joy Luck Club

Diane Baker, Michael Paul Chan

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2002

One of my all-time Top 10
One of the greatest films ever made - it's got humor, pain, stupidity, and wisdom.

Say Anything

Amy Brooks, Jonathan Chapin

20th Century Fox, 2002

If you like John Cusack, you will love this movie
This is one of the most down to earth romantic movies I have ever seen. Who would not love to be the object of Lloyd Dobbler's affection. I can see this movie over and over again and never tire of it. John is an incredible actor and is so real, it stings at times.

Amadeus - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce

Warner Home Video, 2002

Midnight Run

Charles Grodin, Robert De Niro

Universal Studios, 2003

"We got him, We got the Duke!!!"
Wow! How we LOVE this film to pieces, and I scratch my head at those who don't get it. I never saw this lovely gem back in the `80s, "But I was just a kid..." My dad took me to see "Roger Rabbit," and that was my main interest. I actually do remember seeing a ...

Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jude Law, Nicole Kidman

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004

common people overwhelmed by war
I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union ...
