Headlines

Kathy Baker, Rubén Blades

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

FANTASTIC FILM
Loved this film, which was done on location in Argentina, and partyly NYC. Fantastic cast, including Ruben Blades playing a small cameo. Duvall was at his best and was interesting to watch interact with the locals. He's a fascinating man and astounding actor who even ...

Real Men

James Belushi, John Ritter

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Real Men
"Did I tell you, you are doing a good job today?" Those lines should have been classic! It's an inside joke. This gem has been in my collection for many years. Now I have it on DVD. I sent the other copy to my buddy. John Ritter and Jim Belushi have never been ...

Livin' Large!

Terrence 'T.C.' Carson, Lisa Arrindell Anderson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Decent...
I thought this was a pretty cool movie for the time period it came out in. It even had a message in it, which is : never forget who you are, where you have come from and gone through when you reach the success you set out to reach in life.

Roadie

Meat Loaf, Kaki Hunter

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

I Love This Silly Movie
From the ambulatory phone booth to a candlelight dinner with The Snake, this just tickled my funny bone. Art Carney was great, and I loved Meat Loaf as the star-crossed lover. Yes, it's cheap, yes, it's campy, but I have been looking for the damn thing for like 20 ...

Benditio Infierno

Victoria Abril, Fanny Ardant

First Look Pictures, 2007

Great movie
I love this movie. I've watched it many times. It's complicated. It's probably not until the near end that the viewer figures out what the heck is going on, but it's an eye twitcher. I have watched it multiple times. For me, this is what lets me know it's a good ...

The Professionals [Blu-ray]

Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin

Sony Pictures, 2008

A classic Western beautifully presented on Blu-ray!
I bought this after reading about it on the net, having never seen the movie. This is a man movie, make no mistake. Burt Lancaster. Lee Marvin. Jack Palance. What more needs to be said? The characters are cool, the action is well scripted, the dialog near-perfect, ...

Buster

Phil Collins, Julie Walters

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Old Favourites
DVD was purchased as a present for a good friend who was unable to obtain a favourite movie in Australia.Well written, directed and acted.Added bonus was sound track during movie heard for the first time on DVD quality. Thoroughly recommend looking through amazon ...

Lord Love a Duck

Roddy McDowall, Tuesday Weld

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Flawed, Highly Recommended
Hey-hey-hey! This "crazy" film helped me stay sane. KTLA TV in Los Angeles used to play it on a semi-regular basis in the bleary-eyed hours of the morning. That's when Lord Love a Duck first did its magic and made me see the light. Of course, since then, it's been ...

Darling

Laurence Harvey, Dirk Bogarde

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

everybody's darling, at any age
it is always a pleasure to watch and to re-watch julie christie in any movie she chooses to do. watching this early film in juxtaposition with AWAY FROM HER reminds us that Cleopatra was not the only woman whose beauty can not be withered by age. when the beauty ...

Crime of Passion

Barbara Stanwyck, Sterling Hayden

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

"I know that you can achieve so much more Bill"
Barbara Stanwyck was an actress of formidable talent, she was subtle, and elegant, yet she could bluster and lose control and do it with so much grace and grandeur. In Crime of Passion a 50's noir potboiler, Stanwyck plays a popular San Francisco newspaper columnist ...

Headlines and Deadlines: The Hits of A-Ha [Region 2]

Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen

Warner Music Vision, 2008

Classic A-Ha!!
This DVD is a collection of the band's earlier hits. A-HA changed their sound to use less keyboards and more piano and acoustic guitar in the 90's. There are a couple of live videos included. The band sound amazing. The lead singer sounds just as good live as he does ...

The Headline Woman
Heather Angel, Ward Bond

Alpha Video, 2006

Embedded Live

Brent Hinkley, Tim Robbins

Cinema Libre, 2005

Great! Tim Robbins rocks.
I planned to see this off-Broadway play when it was first out but missed it. I'm so happy it's on DVD. Tim Robbins wrote a really strong satire and also directs and acts. The scenes with the government officials are the best in terms of humor, but the soldiers add ...

Car 54, Where Are You?

David Johansen, John C. McGinley

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

I liked it......go figure.
I liked the movie....it made me laugh out loud several times.But then again I have all of Woody Allen's movies on DVD. Fran, from the "Nanny" played a happy go lucky prostitute...did a good job. It won't be confused with "Gone with the wind" or even "Who's the man?" ...
