They live

Roddy Piper, Keith David

Universal Studios, 2003

Do you dare to see the truth?
Oh man what a fun movie, I saw this a few months ago and still marvel at how much I enjoyed it. This is one of those eighties movies that borderlines on silly and cheesy at times but overall there is so much to enjoy that in this case it barely stands in the way. ...

The Errol Flynn Signature Collection, Vol. 1 (Captain Blood / The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex / The ...

Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland

Warner Home Video, 2005

Keep The Flynn's Coming
Warner has been doing it right with their releases of classic films and this is no exception. Like volume 2 of the Flynn Signature collection the quality and films are nothing short of spectacular. They don't make movie stars like this anymore. And he was dead before ...

Big Trouble in Little China (Single Disc Edition)

Kate Burton, Kim Cattrall

20th Century Fox, 2002

Great movie.
This movie is good. It has some swearing in it but the kids liked it a lot.

Dead Alive

Timothy Balme, Jed Brophy

Lions Gate, 1998

ALWAYS get the unrated version
this is without a doubt the greatest horror movie of all time. never ever watch the rated version because it is missing 10 min worth of glorious little 2 to 10 second frames of absolute bloody horror goodness. without these scenes it becomes the WORST horror movie of ...

Night of the Comet

Robert Beltran, Catherine Mary Stewart

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Night of the Comet
I am sooo glad that they finally released this on DVD. This is such a good sleeper movie that has such a following. Not bad acting either. It's a fun watch.

Saturday Night Live - The Best of Phil Hartman

Phil Hartman, Tom Arnold

Lions Gate, 2004

SNL's MVP
4.5 stars Hartman was a comic genius, period. He was the best supporting actor ever on SNL, hands down, able to take a walk-on in a crappy skit and turn it around with one line. He was also a fabulous impressionist; his Sinatra, Clinton, etc etc are classics. I ...

Escape from New York

Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Cult Classic
Not really being familiar with the work of John Carpenter or the acting ability of Kurt Russell, I guess it can safely be said that I went into this movie blind. That, in many ways can be a good thing. I went in with little to no expectations and had no hopes about ...

Film Noir Classic Collection, Vol. 4 (Act of Violence / Mystery Street / Crime Wave / Decoy / Illegal / The ...

Cathy O'Donnell, Farley Granger

Warner Home Video, 2007

Commentaries are great to have.
I love the picture quality of this great DVD set and also the commentaries on all of the movies. These are movies I can watch over and over again and never get tired of. Along with the commentaries they are a pretty good education in film noir.

The Thing (Collector's Edition)

Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley

Universal Pictures, 2004

A classic in HD
I've watched this so many times in Standard Definition, but it's like watching it again for the first time in HD. The video and sound quality is excellent!

From Beyond (Unrated Director's Cut)

Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

great horror film.
Very awesome film. Scares, crazy effects and an intersting story. Finally a directors cut on DVD!

The Hidden

Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Nouri

New Line Home Video, 2004

Slam Bang!
A rip roaring scifi/action flick that moves along at a relentless pace and is one of the best of its type. Sure, it's the old 'alien body snatcher' thing, but it is presented with such verve and accompanied by a terrific rock soundtrack (at least for the 80's!), that ...

In the Mouth of Madness

Sam Neill, Jürgen Prochnow

New Line Home Video, 2000

"I think, therefore you are."
Ever since I was 15 years old, I have had an on/off relationship with horror films. Right around 1994-5, I was going through an "off" phase for some indeterminate reason. At that time, ItMoM did not intrigue me in the slightest from what I saw in the trailer. So for ...

They All Came Down to Montreux [Blu-ray]

Deep Purple

Eagle Rock Ent, 2008

Great DVD! Buy It Now!
As a long time Deep Purple fan I was really glad to add this DVD to my collection. It brought back lots of memories of all the DP shows I've seen over the years. This is a very good show and the bonus Hard Rock video is a nice touch. If you love Deep Purple you will ...

Deep Purple - They All Came Down To Montreux: Live At Montreux 2006 (2DVD)

Deep Purple

Eagle Rock Ent, 2007

Deep Purple Live at it's Best
I have been a Deep Purple fan for over 25 years and own many records, cds and dvds of them in concert. This particular dvd is one of their best period. Whenever Deep Purple plays at Montreux, it is bound to be a special event, and this show lives up to any expectation ...

Escape From L.A.

Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi

Paramount, 1998

A GREAT CULT CLASSIC MOVIE!
This movie follows Escape from New York, and it's just great. It's not meant to be taken too seriously. There are subtle jokes throughout the movie. A lot of it is tongue in cheek. So enjoy it for what it is. My favorite line is "This is LA, and this ****ing city can ...
