Hearts of the West
Jeff Bridges, Andy Griffith
MGM (Warner), 1998
Genuinely sweet, genuinely funny, and urbane cowpokes too
This film is full of scoundrels and opportunists and still manages to make life seem delicious. Long before Gwenyth Paltrow was famous her mother, Blythe Danner, was known by aficionados as someone that picked superb material. She's here as The Girl, savvy but still ...

Centennial Vols 1-12
William Atherton, Raymond Burr
Universal Studios, 1997
Magnificence
I agree 100% with everyone's postings and reviews on Centennial. It is by far one of the best, if not the best mini series to air on television. I have watched this mini series countless times and have my personal VHS recording of it. I was ecstatic at the announcement ...

Excellent Mini-Series!
Fatal Vision was one of the many mini-series adapting Joe McGinnis books like Fatal Vision about Jeffrey Macdonald and his family's brutal murder. They cast Gary Cole who can hold his own against Academy Award winners, Karl Malden and Eva Marie Saint who play his ...

Fatal Vision
Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint
Starmaker Entertainment, 1994
Not Even Safe With The Military
The Manson family murders that occurred in August of 1969 were bad enough, but now this murder provided no safe haven for Middle Class America to run to; the world was falling further and further apart. For Green Beret Doctor Jeffery McDonald it had as he lost his ...

Murder in Texas
Katharine Ross, Sam Elliott
Front Row Video, 1990
A VERY POWERFUL MOVIE
What a powerful cast of actors for this movie! I'm a great Farrah fan, but the fact that this movie is based on a true murder makes it all the more sensational. It is a long movie, but well worth watching all in one sitting-I did not get bored-in fact, I kept ...

No Time for Sergeants
Andy Griffith, Nick Adams
Warner Home Video, 1994
One of my ALL-TIME favorite comedies!
Having served in the Air Force myself, from 1977 to 1997, I can relate to alot of the situations in this movie. Early on, I did many stints as PLO myself ... we called them "GI Parties."
The induction scenes in this movie are pretty much the same as they were when ...

Savages (1974)
Andy Griffith, Sam Bottoms
Prism Entertainment
Unusual Griffith Role
I saw this one a long time ago. It is a good drama with excellent acting that has a nice twist in the end. Andy Griffith played a bad guy in this one which is an unusual role for him. He did it well. Some accomplished character actors play supporting roles including ...

Onionhead
Andy Griffith, Felicia Farr
Warner Home Video, 1994
ONIONHEAD
This classic had me rolling in laughter. I am a retired coastie and it brought back some wonderful memories. I could never have a cinnamon roll again without thinking of this movie and two great actors. Walter Mathau as a veteran cook with a drinking problem and Andy ...

A Face in the Crowd
Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal
Warner Home Video, 1998
What could have been?
Not expecting such a ruthless character played by Andy Griffith, I was expecting a hard time "suspending belief".
The first time you see Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in this movie, he is snarling, angry, and ready to lash out. He spends the rest of the movie trying to keep ...

Among Giants
Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Griffiths
Fox Home Entertainment, 1999
Among Giants: A Giant's eye view of the human heart
Among Giants stirred my emotions like only a few other movies have done. Hidden deep, and I mean deep in the contrast of the yorkshire countryside and Ray's last chance at a meaninfgul relationship is the perfect view that only a Giant could see. By scaling the ...

My Son the Fanatic
Om Puri, Rachel Griffiths
Walt Disney Video, 2000
My Son the Future Suicide Bomber?
Parvez was born in Pakistan and moved to London some twenty five years earlier. He has mostly assimilated into his new cultural milieu and considers religion to be a secondary aspect of his overall identity. So much so, our central character has become something of a ...

Andy Griffith Show 4-Pack

Greatest Sports Legends, 2001
What Episodes?
How can I rate this when I don't know the episodes? And, it appears every one of your Andy Griffith editions are all the same episodes. Why? Why do you have such a variety of DVD/VHS casings with the same episodes? This is misleading to the consumer. I have each ...
