Vincent Gardenia

Cher, Nicolas Cage

MGM (Video & DVD), 2006

Classic film stands up 21 years later
I have always loved this film. This has not changed in the years since it was released. I have a question for the film makers. Why did it take until 2006 until this wide screen edition of the film was available? New York City is a character in the film. ...

I Spy - Season 2

Robert Culp, Bill Cosby

Image Entertainment, 2008

How can we rate this right now?
I was an early adopter of the original DVD releases. I'll get to their picture quality in a moment, but I've been a long time fan, thanks to a longer time fan some 5 years my junior (I'm 35), and double the proof that one doesn't need to be a Baby Boomer to appreciate ...

Where is Season 7?
This is beyond ridiculous at this point. Millions of fans have anxiously awaited the release of these DVDs. What is the hold up?! Is Sony not planning on releasing the rest of the series?! Why release 6 seasons and stop there? Is Sony prepared to refund customers who ...

The Hustler (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason

20th Century Fox, 2007

Great movie!
When Newman died I decided to buy this movie. It shows him at his prime. The Hustler is a movie about redemption in 1961 America. The movie's pacing is different from the standard movie. This is a classic. It's fun to revisit the 50's and early 60's to see the ...

Death Wish

Charles Bronson, Hope Lange

Paramount, 2001

We miss you Charlie.
Charles Bronson plays the role of the original vigilante, Mr. Paul Kearsey. There are many films of the 70's that tried in vain to have depth, but the social commentary that Death Wish delivers in urban violence is very thought provoking. The movie delivers in ...
