Martin Sheen

Linda Blair, Martin Sheen

Imperial, 1991

Excellent movie - Help it get to DVD!
Sweet Hostage first aired in 1975 as a TV movie. Sheen's energetic, lyrical performance captured the imagination of a bookish 12 year old who had a few things in common with Linda Blair's lonely tomboy, Doris Mae. The movie engendered in me a life long love of the ...

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

Marlon Brando, Colleen Camp

Paramount, 1998

Hope that a little fat girl in Ohio will be the next Mozart of film.
Destroying professionalism and making it an art form. This is some of the wisdom from Francis Ford Coppola on this documentary made by his wife Eleanor on the making of his film, the godfather of Coppola films in my opinion, Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier ...

Wall Street (1987)

Frank Adonis, John Capodice

20th Century Fox, 1996

The Greatest Business Film Ever Made
This is, quite simply, the greatest film ever made about business and the capital markets. Wall Street is brilliant and infinitely quotable. There are just so many good lines in the film delivered to perfection by Michael Douglas. This is certainly Michael Douglas' ...

Boca

Martin Kemp, Rae Dawn Chong

Republic Pictures, 1998

Great Movie
Very stylish melodramatic movie. I wish they would put this movie on DVD already. Superb acting. There is a great love scene from the incredibly gorgeous Rae Dawn Chong. Other than Quest For Fire this is her best movie.

The Maid

Martin Sheen, Jacqueline Bisset

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

A light hearted Martin Sheen gem
Martin Sheen doesn't need me to introduce him, but this romantic comedy is one of his lesser known films which deserves to be better known. The plot is very light - a banker arriving in Paris for a new job is attracted by a colleague (Jacequeline Bisset) but does not ...

Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition)

Tom Berenger, Martin Sheen

Turner Home Ent, 2000

The Civil War film for the history student!
Being an active professor, a war film collector, and a twenty-five-year military veteran, I sometimes tend to be overly-critical of war films, mostly in terms of historical accuracy and "situational believability." The pains the producers took make this both an ...

Catch Me If You Can

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks

Dreamworks Video, 2003

Slick And Stylish, An Excellent Cat & Mouse Chase
Catch Me If You Can is one of those true story movies that achieves a rarity. It gives you a really interesting and intense film while still keeping its feet on the ground and not going overboard or off track with the initial story. This film is based around the ...

Subject Was Roses

Patricia Neal, Jack Albertson

MGM (Warner), 1998

Fantastic movie!
This movie features Jack Albertson and Patricia Neal in brilliant portrayals of middle aged parents trying to cope with the realities of their own dysfunctional family. Sheen is also superb as an unwilling part of this messed up family. This is a must see for adults ...

Gandhi

Ben Kingsley, Candice Bergen

RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, 1982

Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
I purchased this title for our social justice learning group to view. It was every bit as good as I remembered it from the big screen. What I can't believe is that it has been more than 25 years since its release. No doubt this film was the apex of Ben Kingsley's ...

Apocalypse Now

Sam Bottoms, Marlon Brando

Paramount, 1992

If God and Wagner had teamed up to make a film about Vietnam, starring a 400-pound bald Marlon Brando, this is what you'd get
Holy smokes. Where to begin. This film is epic. This film is amazing. This film is wild. Nobody makes films like this anymore. Powerful, mind bending, insane. Coppola famously said that this wasn't a film about the Vietnam war, this is the Vietnam war. If you haven't ...

The Dead Zone

Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams

Paramount, 1991

Another Cronenberg classic
Film adaptations of Stephen King books have really proven to be a hit or miss matter over the years. It's risky business, but as far as The Dead Zone goes, we have a direct hit. The Dead Zone also seems to be somewhat of a departure from Cronenberg's films that are a ...

When the Bough Breaks

Ally Walker, Martin Sheen

Turner Home Entertainment, 1995

ALLY WALKER IS A GREAT PROFILER!!!
Ally Walker stars as Audrey MacLeah, a profiler from the Texas Rangers helping the Houston Police investigate severed human hands that showed up during a flash-flood. Her lead to the case is a child with psychic abilities locked up in a mental institution. The story ...

Roswell: UFO Cover Up

Kyle MacLachlan, Martin Sheen

Republic Pictures, 1997

StarAngel
The fact that this movie even got made is a miracle. It's not perfect, but you have to realise how the US Gov't "intelligence" services (which we fund w/ our taxes) tried amazing disinformation, threats and lies to keep not only the honest folks of Roswell doubting ...

Andersonville Trial

William Shatner, Cameron Mitchell

Avid Video, 1991

"The real crime is that I chose the losing side."
Directed by George C. Scott, and starring Richard Basehart, Cameron Mitchell, Jack Cassidy, William Shatner, Martin Sheen, and Buddy Ebsen in some of their best roles ever, this stunning 1970 production was a shoo-in to win three Emmys and the Peabody Award, with ...

The Fourth Wise Man

Martin Sheen, Alan Arkin

I love this movie
This movie is one of my favourites. It's a movie you can watch year after year. It's funny, poignant and captures our spiritual quest to find the meaning of our lives when it's right in front of us. Great acting by Alan Arkan and Martin Sheen.
