Canterville Ghost (1944)

Charles Laughton, Robert Young

MGM (Warner), 1992

A Wonderfully Ghostly 1940's Comedy!
When 17th Century blowhard Sir Simon de Canterville, born of a pompous but cowardly stock, finds himself in a duel he cannot win, he naturally chickens out. Challenged by the enemy to wall up a potential hiding place, Sir Simon's father unwittingly bricks him into his ...

The Uninvited

Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1998

The first GREAT Ghost Movie!
I am a fan of good ghost movies, and this is really the first of the GREAT ones. It has class, plot and good acting. Where is the DVD? Anyone else agree? UPDATE, 10-20-06; There's still no DVD available on the horizon, and this makes no sense. How about a Ray Milland ...

The Stepfather

Terry O'Quinn, Jill Schoelen

Embassy/Nelson Ent. - O.B., 1992

Terry O'Quinn makes his mark
This is one of the best thrillers to emerge from the 1980's. It's got assured direction from Joseph Reuben. An excellent script by Donald E. Westlake.And an absolutely mesmerizing performance from Terry O'Quinn, who invests his character with enough repressed fury to ...

Hellboy (Dol Slip)

James Babson, Ladislav Beran

Sony Pictures, 2004

In the absence of light, darkness prevails
While some good directors never quite "get it," it took Guillermo Del Toro only one misfire -- the icky, slow-paced "Blade 2" -- to get the whole comic-book adaptation thing right. In fact, just about everything is right with "Hellboy" -- Del Toro crafted an action ...

Creature From the Black Lagoon

Richard Carlson, Julie Adams

Universal Studios, 1992

MY FIRST MONSTER FILM.
This was my first "monster" film. I can remember the stir that it caused when it was first released and remember that my mother would not allow me to attend. Now telling an ten year old boy that there is "forbidden fruit" at the local cinema, and telling him that ...

The X-Files (Movie)

David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson

20th Century Fox, 1998

Good movie
My family has recently become huge fans of the X-files TV show (thanks to reruns on the Sci Fi channel), so we were excited to see that they had actually released a movie back in the late 90's. I read several of the bad reviews that this movie received, but we really ...

Batman Forever

Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones

Warner Home Video, 1997

For those who hated the first two.
I liked this movie. Was it too bright and too campy? Yes. But at least it had an actor who could give the dark knight justice. Kilmer destroys Keaton hands down. Kidman destroys Pfeifer hands down. Carry, genius. Jones, brilliant. Goofy, funny, memorable. The ...

Fright Night Part 2

Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale

Lions Gate/Live Home Video, 1992

Funny Movie
If you ever wanted if there was an part 2 of the movie Fright Night well there was and if you never have seen it before than you will love it since jerry couldn't get it done his sister tries now for the job. Rondall

Star Wars Trilogy

Mark Hamill

20th Century Fox, 2000

Overrated, but overall, still great
The elements in the Star Wars films are not exactly original. Close to all the ideas are borrowed from different genres spanning from Japanese Samurai films, old Sci-Fi films/serials, Westerns, etc. Then there is the simplistic moral system of the Jedi. There really ...

Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones

Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman

20th Century Fox, 2002

the movie that made me a pretrilogy fan!
when i saw episode 1 in the theater, i thought what the hell is this!! when episode II came out i didnt even go but when it came out on HBO i got hooked. i think padme is beautiful, anakin is very likeable and the romance i believed. now something where i seem to ...

The Keep

Scott Glenn, Alberta Watson

Paramount, 1998

It is what it is..... An undercult, cult classic.
Never mind what the "critics" say. They usually get things for free, and can't appreciate hard work anyway! For the time period, "The Keep" is a great flick. The music is absolutely awsome. You can pick it apart all day long, but theres a reason its a highly ...

Animorphs - The Invasion Series, Part 1: The Invasion Begins

Sony Pictures, 1999

Not as good as the books, but it's still good.
This three episode vhs contains some of the best episodes of the t.v show. "The first three." The show is no where near as good as the books. I only wished that they had made a CGI animorphs show or something. The lack of fighting is the only thing lacking in this. ...

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Pat Boone, James Mason

20th Century Fox, 1996

oldie but a goodie
If you enjoy movies from the past this is a great Jules Verne story to watch. Filmed in the Carlsbad caverns if you are wondering where did they find these caves. This is the original story made from the book and I really enjoy these older movies from the past.

Godzilla Vs Megalon

Katsuhiko Sasaki, Hiroyuki Kawase

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

Something about this film...
This movie is awful. The sets, the stock footage, the actors...all are extremely cheesy. And yet, something about this film makes me want to like it. And I do, in fact. This is the best awful movie ever! Recommended!

Godzilla Vs Biollante

Kunihiko Mitamura, Yoshiko Tanaka

Hbo Home Video, 1995

Plant vs. Lizard!!!!!! Who will win?
The answer to the title question is Biollante (plant). A dr. creates a giant plant using Godzilla's cells. Like every other Godzilla movie, Godzilla battles Biollante. Biollante battles Godzilla in his Rose form. Godzilla beats Biollante and Biollante seems to die ...
