John Lynch

Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp

Miramax Films, 1994

Stylized vision of violence
I have 80% of my VHS and DVD collection at my workplace; coworkers are free to sign out a video. No one, except me, likes "The Krays." I love it. The style, the color, the pacing (especially the pacing), make this movie strong and gripping. I love that the Kray ...

Bubble Boy

Jake Gyllenhaal, Swoosie Kurtz

Buena Vista Home Video, 2002

Perfectly paced farce!
This was just a great time, a farce with perfect timing and pitch--crazy characters all around doing expected and sometimes unexpected things. Brought all the parties together nicely at the end, and used well the opportunity to poke fun at just about everybody. Jakey's ...

Hardware

Dylan McDermott, Stacey Travis

Hbo Home Video, 1993

EVEN A KINE VERSION OF THIS CULT MOVIE IS WELCOME.
I'm grateful to get it, but this's a kine from German TV and not a very good one. I have a HARDWARE tape I took from DirecTv and it's vastly better. But when such kines (or whatever this's called) come out, the real re-release often isn't far behind. (Like Pacino's ...

Thumbelina

Jodi Benson, Gino Conforti

Warner Home Video, 1994

Thumbelina
I ordered it for my granddaughters and they loved the movie. I received it promptly and in great condition.

The Sword and The Sorcerer

Lee Horsley, Kathleen Beller

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Deserves a Re-release!!!
I almost forgot about this gem of a movie because I never see it for DVD purchase in any stores. It was my favorite fantasy film of the 80's. I used to watch it with Clash of the Titans almost everyday. Please re-release this film!!! It is unfair that the only way to ...

Some Mother's Son

Helen Mirren, Fionnula Flanagan

Turner Home Ent, 1998

Greatest movie ever made about 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland.
I purchased this movie just recently although I've had the soundtrack to the movie for a long time & listen to it constantly. Being of part Irish descent I've always had an interest in all things Irish & especially in the IRA's struggle for independence in Northern ...

Road House

Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Yes, it's great...but it's even greater than you realize
The great thing about Roadhouse is that it's beyond ridiculous in many ways. I simply love the movie an unhealthy amount. I think we all do. It's on TV every other night, and it never gets old. I'd rather watch Roadhouse for the 100th time than eat dinner. The ...

Anatomy of a Murder

James Stewart, Lee Remick

Sony Pictures, 1994

Preminger's most famous film, and one that holds up extremely well today...
I've been watching the entire Otto Preminger catalog lately, and I got around to seeing what is arguably his most famous film. Seeing it again makes me realise that it's a masterpiece of tension, performances, dialogue, and cinematography. There is so much to like ...

Rage of Angels

Jaclyn Smith, Ken Howard

Starmaker Entertainment, 1992

Heavenly Angel.......
This highly successful tv-miniseries is perhaps the one that ignited the success of the miniseries genre. Although, there are others who came before this, it was RAGE OF ANGELS who ignited the "mania." Of course, there was Richard Chamberlain starring in all those ...

The Secret Garden

Kate Maberly, Heydon Prowse

Warner Home Video, 1994

Enchanting tale
When an earthquake in India leaves her an orphan, Mary Lennox is sent to live at her uncle's remote estate in England. The spoiled, bratty Mary is quite miserable with no one to talk to or play with and a stern housekeeper (Maggie Smith) hovering over her. When Mary ...

Beautiful Girls

Matt Dillon, Noah Emmerich

Walt Disney Video, 1997

A comical and insightful jaunt
Beautiful Girls is a very light-hearted comedy about a small town class reunion. It does hover dangerously close to some dark, abstract notions that frequently threaten the overall good vibes. That makes the movie entertaining and realistic. Luckily it teeters on ...

Zelly & Me

Alexandra Johnes, Isabella Rossellini

Columbia/Tri-Star, 1988

Ah, I Found it ! I've searched for this movie in stores....
I have been looking for this movie, since I saw it on Cable a few years ago. Where I live, I cannot locate the film (even in rental stores). Normally, I am not a big David Lynch fan--because, most of his films are dark, depressing, sick and leave you feeling ...

Bebe's Kids

Faizon Love, Vanessa Bell Calloway

Paramount, 1994

Bebes Kids
Classic animation comedy with faison love doing Robin Harris voice. It has the itsy bitsy spider tv shows pilot. Made by the people who later made Proud Family.

Way West

Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

An Unofficial Remake of The Big Trail
With a cast that includes Kirk Douglas, Richard Widmark, AND Robert Mitchum, how can anyone who is a fan of Western Movies pass up The Way West? You can't - and you shouldn't, it's a good movie. The surprising thing is how The Way West takes so many plot points ...

Run Silent Run Deep

Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

Look to the seas and look back to the good old days
When you look at 1958's RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP directed by Robert Wise you can see the intellect, craftsmanship and most importantly the emotionally charged energy that went into the making of this film. Director Robert Wise was always the consummate professional ...
