Caesar

Claude Rains, Vivien Leigh

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

To be in Bernard Shaw 's mood!
Claude Rains as Caesar and Viviane Leigh as Cleopatra star this dazzling story that rides between the drama and comedy. A splendid occasion to crown once more the corrosive humor that literally permeates a good part of the dialogues. There is humor but also a ...

Julius Caesar (1953)

Marlon Brando, James Mason

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

The spirit of the play brought to life
I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally. One of the first things ...

Hot to Trot

Bob Goldthwait, Dabney Coleman

Warner Home Video, 1998

Off the scale
There aren't enough stars to give this work of art. We had a group of buddies back in Omaha called the "guys chicks totally dig" that consisted of Kroll, Burns, Kiteman and me. So many girls wanted to date us that we had to have meetings to see who was dating who and ...

a diabolically criminally funny spoof
THE FIENDISH PLOT OF DR. FU MANCHU [hereinafter "Fu"] is a diabolically, criminally funny spoof of the preceding Fu villain movies. The opening scene was foretelling. Sellers, as a vintage Fu, is celebrating his 168th birthday. His crowd of sinister lackeys are singing ...

Wonderful Ice Cream Suit

Joe Mantegna, Esai Morales

Walt Disney Video, 1999

Goofy, unreal, and downright affirmative
I love this dumb movie. It's goofy. It's silly. It's over-acted. It's unreal. It's so positive! It's downright affirmative. It's fantastic. It's not like any other movie I've seen. I laughed out loud in the first scene, and kept smiling all the way through. ...

Grease (Aniv)

Over the Brooklyn Bridge (Amazon.com Exclusive)

Elliott Gould, Margaux Hemingway

MGM/UA Video, 2001

A Jewish Classic
This is a brilliant, very Jewish, very New Yorkish, comedy that should have been more widely admired than it was. It is now hard to find. Like Elliott Gould's earlier black comedy masterpiece Little Murders, Over the Brooklyn Bridge has marvelous acting, an often ...

Star Maps

Douglas Spain, Efrain Figueroa

Fox Home Entertainment, 1998

Touching , Heartbreaking story
To understand this film you should understand whats its like to be from a family like this. Themovie played out like a home movie for me. The first reviewer from Mexico, is typical in his narrow mindedness about how "chicanos" live. How do you clearly represent a ...

Lady Sings the Blues

Diana Ross, Billy Dee Williams

Paramount, 1996

Diana Ross is incredible
In my opinion, (surely due to strong bias because I have been listening to this album since I was a little girl) this album/DVD contains some of the absolute best versions of Billie Holiday songs ever recorded. Diana Ross exquisitely captured the perfect tempo(i), ...
