Richard Jordan

Charles Bronson, Jack Palance

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Two Versions?
Are there two versions of this movie. The cable western channel version is longer and shows more of the violence and nudity. The DVD I bought excludes the nudity and some of the violence, blood and killing. What's up??

Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition)

Tom Berenger, Martin Sheen

Turner Home Ent, 2000

Best Civil War Movie Ever!
The movie was so enthralling that I had to buy and read the book "Killer Angels" that it is based on. The movie was 4 wonderful hours itself, and had so many special features that gave me a couple more hours to enjoy. I watched it first from the rental store, but ...

Lawman (1971)

Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

You buy the man above him
A wonderful, thinking man's, neo-traditional Western. Burt excels as the lawdog made of granite. He doesn't bend, he doesn't trade. He wavers for a brief moment, but the inexorable workings of the patterns of his life pull him back into line. The flickers that pass ...

Romero

Raul Julia, Richard Jordan

Lions Gate, 1998

Well done film of an amazing man
It has been a while since I have seen this film and I am little surprised that it seems to be out of print. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a story of faith in action in the face of overwhelming odds.

Executioner's Song

Tommy Lee Jones, Christine Lahti

Starmaker Entertainment, 1992

Tommy Lee Jones!!!
I thought Tommy Lee Jones played a excellent roll in this movie, it was a great movie, I just wish they had the soundtrack to go with it. I rememenber seein this movie when it first came out, glad they gots it on dvd.

Cinderfella

Jerry Lewis, Ed Wynn

Video Treasures, 1994

LOUIS+BASIE=GREATNESS
See Jerry Lewis at the top of his game, along with the Count Basie Orchestra, and you have a virtual orgy for the senses. The supporting cast is top notch. However, the dip into the hipness of the era, via the Basie Orchestra really puts this fairytale over the top. ...

Raise the Titanic

Jason Robards, Richard Jordan

United American Video, 1994

Classic
Love this movie, it's a classic. At the time it came out it didn't get the greatest ratings because of the other movies it was up against. If your a Clive Cussler fan this is a perfect movie for you. Not to mention it gives you a little background on the movie Sahara.

Captains and the Kings

Richard Jordan, Perry King

Universal Studios, 2000

An absolutely superb miniseries!
I first saw this wonderful miniseries when it made its debut on NBC in the fall of 1976, and I recently bought and watched the video set of the series. After so many years, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the late Richard Jordan's portrayal of Joseph Armaugh. Armaugh, ...

Barbarian Queen

Lana Clarkson, Katt Shea

Lions Gate/Vestron, 1989

Not Deathstalker but very good
I like the barbarian queen movies as much as I like the mid deathstalker sequels not touching the first or 4th one but as good is about 2 & 3 of deathstalker I wish they would take it easy on the rape scenes .....a little t&a but god all in all not bad

The Parallax View

Warren Beatty, Hume Cronyn

Paramount Home Video, 1992

This review has been censored for your safety
I recall walking from the theater when this film was first released, determining that I would actively seek out every subsequent film the director Alan Pakula would make. From the understated fear generated from atop the Seattle Space Needle in the opening to the ...

Chato's Land (Widescreen Edition)

Echoes in the Darkness

Peter Coyote, Stockard Channing

Starmaker Entertainment, 1990

A brilliant, clever, and hypnotic piece of work...
Coyote and Loggia are utterly compelling in their roles. One watches a nauseating conspiracy emerge tortuously and impossibly between these two apparently (largely)unconnected weirdos. The horror, when it appears, is all the more convincing for having been rendered ...

Les Miserables

Richard Jordan, Anthony Perkins

Vision Video, 1978

Note: No Music from Broadway Included in Movie
This movie was fantastic. Just Note however that this movie does NOT include any of the music from the Broadway Play. I bought this DVD not knowing that it was simply a theatrical verson of Les Miserables. While the fabulous music was not included in the movie the ...

Rolling Thunder

William Devane, Tommy Lee Jones

Good Times Video, 2001

Little known classic
I saw this movie over 15 years ago and certain images from it are still burnt into my mind. I was reminded of it recently when reading an article about Quentin Tarantino, which mentioned how he hosts screenings of his favourite movies at his home for close friends. ...
