Tom Baker

The Farmer's Daughter (1947)

Loretta Young, Joseph Cotten

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1999

KATIE FOR CONGRESS - an Honest Politician and a Great Movie
In an election year when most voters are wondering which candidate is the least dishonest, which is the lesser evil, The Farmer's Daughter is not only refreshing but instructive. It contrasts a political "machine" with a lone, honest voice crying in the political ...

Carpetbaggers

George Peppard, Alan Ladd

Paramount, 1994

Love the music and the storyline.
I've been a fan of this version of the movie for years. I love the theme music, and the storyline. George Pappard is wonderful also. Definitely dated, a lot of sexist stuff, pre women's lib.

Chips 99

Larry Wilcox, Erik Estrada

Turner Home Ent, 1999

Chips 99
real good video wished it was on dvd but the video is good for all chips fans

Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969)

Peter O'Toole, Petula Clark

MGM (Warner), 1995

Wonderful
That this is not available in DVD is incomprehensible. Who still has a VHS??? The last time I saw this I cryed, grown up man that I am and was ,next to my date at a retro movie house. "A" performances by all, music is a embellishment to the story, not a distraction. ...

No Retreat No Surrender

Kurt McKinney, Jean-Claude Van Damme

Starmaker Entertainment, 1990

Where Jean-Claude learned the splits!
No Retreat No Surrender is a classic martial arts movie from the 80s. It's classic because it follows the 80s formula of "screw it, put it in there, people will enjoy it regardless of how unbelievable it is". The movie "stars" a runt named Jason (Kurt McKinney), ...

Judas Kiss

Carla Gugino, Simon Baker

Sony Pictures, 1999

If you love camp and fun....
Please people, this is great bit of fun. This movie cannot be expected to suspend your disbelief. Even though the director keeps tossing blood around, it is so far off that you can't possibly take any of it seriously. It's a send up folks, keystone cops, over the ...

Paint Your Wagon

Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood

Paramount, 1997

Better than expected
Wow - this movie is wonderful on DVD and in Widescreen to boot. Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and the rest of the cast are funny and downright entertaining. I can't wait to watch it again.

Ironweed

Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep

Vestron Video, 1994

Perfect screen adaption of a classic book
I saw this movie on cable many years ago and did not get it. Fast foward to about ten years later and I discovered William Kennedys "Albany Trio" at the library. When I finally got to the last of the trio tales I read "Ironweed" in one day and then went out and rented ...

Doctor Who - The Sun Makers

Tom Baker, Louise Jameson

BBC Warner, 2002

One of the best of the Tom Baker years
This is denfinitely one of those episodes that you apreciate a lot more when your older.I remember enjoying this as a kid but being all of about 9 years old at the time the humor escaped me not knowing much about taxes or corperations at the time.But seeing it now I ...

Holes

Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2003

Holes
A klutzie boy deals with being falsely imprisoned in a boys camp setup in the desert. He learns how to deal with bullies and comes out ahead. He learns how to forgive and stand up for justice when it is necessary. There is a bit of bad language but for the most part ...

October Sky (Spec Slip)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper

Universal Studios, 2000

A wonderful movie to share with family and friends.
Generally speaking my wife and I do not go to the movies. We both agree that the overwhelming majority of films being produced today are vulgar, poorly written, and that the special effects in most are greatly overdone. We generally prefer to stay at home and watch ...

Doctor Who - Nightmare of Eden

Dr. Who, Tom Baker

20th Century Fox, 1999

Classic Tom Baker
First off, ANYTHING with Tom Baker is good. END OF DISCUSSION. Those who pan the episode are totally off base. Of course the sets and the costumes have flaws! They ALWAYS have flaws. It's the BBC for crying out loud. Overall it's a great story and it's one of my ...

Doctor Who - Revenge of the Cybermen

Dr. Who, Tom Baker

20th Century Fox, 1994

Unfairly Maligned
I base my rating of a story on whether or not I was entertained, and if what I just watched left me with a good feeling. This story accomplishes both. I find it hysterical that critics of Doctor Who stories use lack of realism as an argument, as if someone traveling ...

Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin

Dr. Who, Tom Baker

20th Century Fox, 1995

Time Lord Society 101 on video
"Through the millennia, the Time Lords of Gallifrey led a life of peace and ordered calm, protected against all threats from lesser civilizations by their great power. But this was to change. Suddenly and terribly, the Time Lords faced the most dangerous crisis in ...

Wild Rovers

William Holden, Ryan O'Neal

MGM (Warner), 1994

A Real Western
Much like "Unforgiven" , this western falls more in the reality of the wild west than the "typical western". The characters; such as Karl Malden as the hard rancher patriarch, William Holden's happy go lucky cowboy, Tom Skerrit and Joe Don Baker as the two sons who ...
