Sean Connery

Sean Connery, Akiko Wakabayashi

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond"
XXXXX It's difficult to believe that this movie is more than 40 years old (counting from the date of this review)!! (Sir) Sean Connery made six EON (or "official") movies with him starring as James Bond. They were: (1) Dr. No (1962) (2) From Russia with Love ...

Playing By Heart

Angelina Jolie, Dennis Quaid

Walt Disney Video, 2000

Realy Good
This movie was Realy Good. If I had to compare it to anything else i've seen, it would be the movie, "Crash". Which I loved tremendously as well. Hey, it's a great film with a full circle ending. You will NOT be disappointed.

Dr No

Sean Connery, Ursula Andress

MGM/UA Home Video, 2000

Vintage Bond at its Best .... this one started the Franchise!
My wife and I are huge Sean Connery fans and 'James Bond' fans. When the first James Bond films hit the theaters I can remember an acrimonious discussion with my future mother-in-law about how my future wife was not allowed to see those "kinds of movies"! (My wife and ...

Medicine Man

Sean Connery, Lorraine Bracco

Walt Disney Video, 1994

Medicine Man
"Medicine Man" is, in my personal opinion, an entertaining, funny movie with a real life message about conserving our natural resources. This movie focuses on plants and animals and all of their posibiities for unknown uses, including medical cures that undiscovered ...

Goldfinger

Sean Connery, Honor Blackman

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

"GOLDFINGER, the man with the Midas Touch..."
XXXXX It's difficult to believe that this movie is almost 45 years old (counting from the date of this review). (Sir) Sean Connery was in six EON (or "official") movies with him starring as James Bond. They were: (1) Dr. No (1962) (2) From Russia with Love ...

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Harrison Ford, Sean Connery

Paramount, 1999

Best sequel of the series.
In 1938, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) has discovered a diary and a map that can lead to the holy grail of Christ. Unfortunately his father Henry (Sean Connery) has been kidnapped by the Nazis as he heads to Venice where he meets up with a gorgeous nazi woman named Dr. ...

The Molly Maguires

Sean Connery, Richard Harris

Paramount Home Video, 1992

Portrait of the cruel labor conditions in 19th century America
I have been a union man all my life, as was my father and mother who was the daughter of a mine worker from Eastern Europe. The Molly Maguires shows an accurate picture of the hard life these people faced and how the mine owners schemed to keep them poor and ...

The Longest Day

Eddie Albert, Paul Anka

20th Century Fox, 1998

My favorite war movie
Other than the James Bonds, this is my favorite film and my favorite war film. I remember seeing it at my local theater at age 13 in 1963, a year after its first run reserved-seat engagement on Broadway. I watch it every June 6th. and have yet to tire of it. ...

Bond: Thunderball

Sean Connery, Claudine Auger

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

THE BOND FEW REMEMBER
Top rate Bond film, completely forgotten by many. As I've mentioned before, Connery is absolutely no match for a 2007 Matt Damon (Jason Bourne), but in 1965 he had no peer. As usual in these films, the plot is both simple and outrageous. An organized international ...

Robin & Marian

Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn

Sony Pictures, 1996

Delightfully Underrated Film: After A Nine Year Hiatus Audrey Hepburn Is Electrifying In Her Performance Alongside Sean Connery
This review is for "Robin and Marian" (Widescreen 2002 Edition) PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE AGAIN AMAZON HAS LUMPED REVIEWS FOR ALL VERSIONS OF "Robin and Marian," THUS DENIGRATING THIS DVD VERSION!!! I have always been a fan of Robin Hood shows, and when "Robin and ...

Outland

Sean Connery, Peter Boyle

Warner Home Video, 1993

"I need those files by tomorrow or I'll kick your nasty ... all over this hospital, that's a Marshall joke" Sean Connery
Sure it's "High Noon" in space, but it works well with a very powerful star turn by Sean Connery as a Marshall of a mining town on Jupiter's moon Io. Backing him up are Frances Sternhagen as the "town" doctor and his only help, and Peter Boyle as the bad guy who runs ...

The Man Who Would Be King

Sean Connery, Michael Caine

Twentieth Century Fox, 1992

Confuse 'em All
This is one of my favorite films of all time. A great adventure of two not so unlikely late 19th century ex-British Army Sargeants at large in British India. But what in that time of British Empire could both rogues and gentry have in common? The answer is ...

Murder on the Orient Express

Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall

Paramount, 1998

A Visually Beautiful, Clever, Well-Acted, and Faithful Adaptation
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is an impressive movie. Well-acted, beautifully shot and lit, and with a sharp tongued script and stunning sets, it is a masterpiece, much like the genius book by Agatha Christie is considered today. The story follows detective Hercule ...

A Bridge Too Far

Dirk Bogarde, James Caan

United Artists, 1996

Operation Market Garden
The title says it all. This is a story about the invasion of the netherlands that was supposed to bring a quik end to Nazi resistance in the ETO. For the most part it is historically accurate, and has an all star cast. The special effects were supprisingly well done ...

Anderson Tapes

Sean Connery, Dyan Cannon

Sony Pictures, 1996

Anderson and Watergate
The Anderson Tapes -- like The Conversation -- is amusingly a precusor to the Watergate scandal, the Plumbers Unit, etc. Those the electronic eavesdropping isn't central to the caper, it is all illegal! The end -- I don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen ...
