George Murphy

Helen Mirren, John Lynch

Warner Home Video, 1998

Deliberate, concise, bleak filmmaking
A sad but engaging story about a sensitive young Irish lad, who reluctantly works for the local IRA, and helps kill a policeman, only to later find himself befriended by the man's unsuspecting family. The saddest thing about this movie is how little has changed since ...

They Died with Their Boots On (Colorized)

Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland

MGM (Warner), 1998

Flynn GREAT as Custer
I read the reviews on here some derailing the history depicted while praising the movie and some reviews which are downright biased against Custer -- but after watching this movie all I came away with is that is now one of my all time favorite films. If there are parts ...

Thief Who Came to Dinner

Ryan O'Neal, Jacqueline Bisset

Warner Home Video, 1998

an honest thief - realistic portrayal of disgruntled NASA rocket scientist
The opening scene is filmed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston showing buildings 5 (mission simulator) and 29 (centrifuge), and realistically portrays the kinds of things engineers there discuss and occasionally do. I know because I was there. One intense ...

Battleground (1949)

Van Johnson, John Hodiak

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

a hero in the making
This is a warm, touching and easy to believe movie. It differs from present movies in at least three different ways. First, Van Johnson played a soldier who got cold feet in the heat of a fierce battle and his courage emerged partly by coincidence. His comrades ...

Mulan (Disney's Masterpiece)

Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein

Walt Disney Home Video, 1999

ONE OF DISNEY'S FINEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILMS!
Mixing CGI and hand drawn animation, Disney bring us one of it's greatest animated films, 'Mulan' is better than half the live action films that have come out in the last 10 years. Beautiful animation, exciting action sequences and an wonderful story make this a must ...

Sands of Iwo Jima (Color Version)

John Wayne, John Agar

Republic Pictures, 1995

A Realistic Portrayal of WWII Pacific Combat
Sergeant Stryker (John Wayne) must prepare his men for combat. He does! He subjects his men to rough bayonet drills and other forms of combat. Many modern war movies are sanitized of the realities of war. Not this one! There are numerous scenes of soldiers suffering ...

Kid Millions

Eddie Cantor; Ann Sothern; Ethel Merman; George Murphy; Berton Churchill

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 2000

First Eddie Cantor release on DVD
This will be, if released, the first Eddie Cantor film released on the DVD format. Hey -- it's only taken 7 years or so. Kid Millions is one of Eddie's best - perhaps *the* best. The standard, at best, is tremendous and the film better maintains a high quality than ...

Glengarry Glen Ross

Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon

Live / Artisan, 1994

predators in twilight
It's a David Mamet movie: ENOUGH SAID. Ok, I'll say a couple more things as if you didn't already know them. But if you don't know about this movie -- just see it is the point. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by the brilliant ...

Jekyll & Hyde Together Again

Mark Blankfield, Bess Armstrong

Paramount, 1998

Funniest Yet
Together Again, is probably one of the funniest underground fun fests that has ever been released. Blankfield shows his full-out true comic genious, one that seems to have escaped the majority of the American movie watching public. Shame on the studio for not ...

Foreign Affair (1948)

Jean Arthur, Marlene Dietrich

Universal Studios, 1998

over-looked gem!
Billy Wilder was such a genius in film-making,it's astounding. What really set him apart, I think, was his knack for knowing who to cast in what role. What really gives this film its kick, is Marlene Dietrich in a role that proved once and for all that yes, she can ...

All My Sons (B&W)

Edward G. Robinson, Burt Lancaster

Universal Studios, 1998

Powerful drama of family destroyed by immoral businessman.
This is probably the most powerful and gripping drama I have ever seen. Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" invariably tops the critics'list of his plays, but I feel "All My Sons" is even greater. Edward G.Robinson is just marvelous as the businessman/father who OK's ...

Count Yorga Vampire

Robert Quarry, Roger Perry

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Excellent Vampire film,one of the best!.
Count Yorga, Vampire.If the title sounds kind of bland or just not as glamourous or intriging as others;'rest assured' this is an excellent movie!!,one of the best of it's genre.This is definately not some thrown together production,the cast were all good,the sets were ...

Little Nellie Kelly

Judy Garland, George Murphy

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Why is this film so hard to find? It's great! --And a BUY!
Judy Garland worked very hard to play both mother Nellie Kelly and daughter Little Nellie Kelly in this movie-and it shows! Her performance is both flawless and a treat for Garland fans. She dances, acts and sings very well. (Look for a brief "Singing in the Rain" by ...

Abyss

Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio

20th Century Fox, 1996

DVD COLLECTION
Every time i see this movie on television i watch it. It doesnt matter at what part it is at or what time of day. I have to watch it. I think it is my favorite all time movie besides the Wizard of Oz. In all the years since it has come out on DVD, for some reason, ...

Blindfold:Acts of Obsession

Judd Nelson, Shannen Doherty

Warner Home Video, 1996

Great Movie!
A excellent Thriller and sexy film especially for guys about murders and,,,,, sex!
