The Beverly Hillbillies/Petticoat Junction Christmas Collection

Dennis Fimple, Kay E. Kuter

Mpi Home Video, 2005

FESTIVE, FAMILY FUN WITH SOME NICE BONUS STUFF
These two classic country comedy shows from the 60s are true time pieces of a simpler time. But they are also amusing and extremely charming slices of Americana. Since MPI has released the only authorized "Petticoat" and "Hillbillies" DVDs to date (see their "Ultimate ...

Something Wild

Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Fun!
This is a fun movie with good performances by Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels and Ray Liotta. I loved it the first time I saw it and still enjoy it.

Adventures of Superman - The Complete First Season

George Reeves, Phyllis Coates

Warner Home Video, 2005

Why Did I Wait So Long ???
I saw the customer reviews for months and months, but for some reason could not order this dvd set. When I finally did, I was so glad. It brought back so many happy memories. The picture was cleaned up so well with very few dust particles I remember from watching ...

The Inspector General

Danny Kaye, Walter Slezak

Alpha Video, 2003

Funny, funny, funny
Oh, how I miss Danny Kaye. If you love to laugh, watch "The Inspector General." Danny Kaye could not only make us laugh, but could dance and sing as well!

Petticoat Junction - Ultimate Collection

Dennis Fimple, Kay E. Kuter

Mpi Home Video, 2005

Better than chicken soup!
I remember watching these shows as a child, and I loved them then and even more now that I'm an adult in my 50s. If you're ever feeling blue or just tired of the rat race, hopping on the Hooterville Cannonball and spending some time at the Shady Rest is like tonic to ...

Shirley Temple - America's Sweetheart Collection, Vol. 3 (Dimples / The Little Colonel / The Littlest Rebel)

Shirley Temple, Frank Morgan

20th Century Fox, 2006

Not Only The Greatest Child Actress. But The Greatest Actress Ever.
I just finished watching this volume 3 collection and want to wholeheartedly endorse it. I had read some reviews that the picture quality and sound was not so good and was doubtful if I should buy it, but bought it all the same as I had enjoyed the other two volumes ...

The Spook Who Sat by the Door

Lawrence Cook, Ramon Livingston

Monarch Video, 2004

very strong film
this film was very educational and didn't pull any punches. it showed how to overcome and handle your self. in truth this film was truly ahead of it's time. I miss films like this that was about standing up for yourself and doing your own thing. very strong social ...

To Grandmother's House We Go

Les Carlson, Cynthia Geary

Warner Home Video, 2004

To Grandmother's House We Go
This movie was exactly as advertised. Still in the shrink wrap and plays without a glitch. My granddaughter loves this movie and plays it over and over. Well worth the price.

Petticoat Junction - The Official First Season

Dennis Fimple, Kay E. Kuter

Paramount, 2008

Let's wait and see.
Hopefully the bad editing won't occur and I find this happens most with Par using syndication prints or latter-day TV Land edits. PJ was neither big in syndication (there would be no reason to edit the rare B & W eps which were never released to syndication) and it ...

The Small Back Room

David Farrar, Kathleen Byron

Criterion Collection, 2008

Powell and Pressburger, returning to their roots.
It was a surprise for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger to follow up the Technicolor extravaganzas of "Black Narcissus" and "The Red Shoes" with a throwback to their earlier work--the black-and-white, tightly focused World War II drama "The Small Back Room." ...

Forgotten Noir Collector's Set 2 (Man From Cairo / Mask of the Dragon / FBI Girl / Tough Assignment / I'll ...

Cesar Romero, George Brent

Vci Video, 2007

Dark Nights Underscored.
Minor works of Film noir pulled together to make up for the real film before the featured film. The Acting in these films maybe somewhat shaky but who cares there is always repeated viewing when watching these films. At any rate this is a ...

Queen Kelly

Gloria Swanson, Walter Byron

Kino Video, 2003

What might have been
Like just about all of the films directed by von Stroheim, this one too is only available today in a much-shortened form and not the way he intended it to be seen. It's quite sad, since what we do have here, at about an hour and forty minutes, is a very good and ...

Hangmen Also Die

Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, Brian Donlevy

Kino Video, 2000

why the end titles are ironic, etc.
Classic Expressionist images and sly situations by Fritz Lang; cinematography by James Wong Howe; propaganda poetry by Bertolt Brecht (so nice they recite it twice in succession, in case we've missed the point)--HANGMEN ALSO DIE is irresistable! The story was ...
