Max von Sydow

Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann

Warner Home Video, 1994

Karl Oskar and Kristina från Duvamåla
I only saw the Swedish version (the whole series) and I am aware that some of the movie was cut. However, I believe I still have something to say. This movie is based on a novel by the Swedish author and historian Vilhelm Moberg. The novel is based on his research ...

The Ultimate Warrior

Yul Brynner, Max von Sydow

Warner Home Video, 1992

I love this film because of William Smith
I love this film. While somewhat disjointed at times, truly some bad editing, it is one of those guilty pleasures, at least one of mine anyway. When I first saw it I was smitten with the actor who played the villian Carrot, William Smith, who is a very under ...

Jerusalem

Maria Bonnevie, Ulf Friberg

Fox Lorber, 1999

Opulent, thoughtful film

Three Days of Condor

Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway

Paramount, 1998

Three Days of the Condor
Received one installment from the pen of the Late, Great SYDNEY POLLACK . . . I've promised myself a copy --- for years . . . UNCOMMON suspense and skill . . .

The Belarus File (Kojak)

Telly Savalas, Suzanne Pleshette

Universal Studios, 1996

This movie has a better story line than any of the series.
A great story! Kojak investigates a series of recent killings that involve Russian Jews that worked with the Germans 40 years earlier to help imprison Jews in Hitler's concentration camps. Kojak is tied closely to the case by friends that are in the middle of the ...

The Seventh Seal

Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot

Homevision, 2000

If you Read one Review let it be THIS one.
it is difficult to articulate the greatness of this film. it is comprised of incredibly simple characters yet tears into the complexity of life like no movie i have ever seen. the film transports you to a different era but the fears and ideals are the same we encounter ...

Bond: Never Say Never Again

Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer

Warner Home Video, 1992

Mr. Bond is older but just as good!
Sean Connery is such a rugged and convincing agent that his obvious "advancing years" only serve to enhance his performance as the greatest superspy on the big screen! Excellent!

The New Land

Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann

Warner Home Video, 1994

Great!
If any of your ancestors came from any part of Europe by sea, you have to see this. Movie is not new, but is a classic. Was recommended to me by my Norwegian cousins even tho it's about Swedes. You DO NOT notice the dubbed English, believe me. And you want to watch ...

Hawaii

Julie Andrews, Max von Sydow

Excellent Movie

Hurricane (1979)

Richard Sarcione, John Taea

Fantastic Action
Fantastic action. Wonderful love story. An ending that will leave you shocked. (not the usual wishy washy ending)

Hawaii

Snow Falling on Cedars

Ethan Hawke, Youki Kudoh

Universal Studios, 2000

layers upon layers of ghosts
The movie is about ghosts. First, the ghost of the dead fisherman and the trial of the Japanese-American accused of his murder. Second, the ghost of a long ago childhood forbidden love affair between the small town newspaper editor/publisher's son and the now-wife of ...

Victory

Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine

Warner Home Video, 1992

Enjoyable movie
This is an awesome movie, perhaps one of the best soccer movies ever, and yes I'm including the latest "Goal" movies. When this movie came out, people wondered why was Stallone included on this, since he doen't look like the "soccer type", Michael Caine being ...
