Leopold

Fantasia (Walt Disney's Masterpiece)

Leopold Stokowski, Deems Taylor

Walt Disney Home Video, 1992

My fave
Watched this movie after my parents got it for me on video for the 60th anniversary edition. It has always been my favorite Disney movie and now I share it with my nieces. I was probably 3 when I first saw it so ignore those people who say kids won't like it I loved ...

Kate & Leopold

Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman

Buena Vista Home Video, 2002

Lovely lovely fairytale!
I'm into romantic comedies BIG TIME, and so far my favorite is Just like Heaven. This movie though, is a VERY close second!! It's dreamy! It's magical! And it's romantic! I'd say this movie is the closest to Cinderella any movie can get. There seemed not much wrong ...

100 Men & A Girl

Deanna Durbin, Leopold Stokowski

Universal Studios, 1995

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark
A consortium of business types gathers in a Manhattan penthouse and sneers at the little people, a slightly overdrawn look at capitalism. These guys are so awful they make the capitalists in a Lars Von Trier film like MANDERLAY or DOGVILLE look like Albert ...

3 Stooges: Pain in the Pullman

Curly Howard, Larry Fine

Sony Pictures, 1997

"Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch........"
A PAIN IN THE PULLMAN (1936) - An excellent stooge short! This would have to be one of my favorite Curly shorts. The scene where the stooges are trying to get up into their tiny top bunk is hilarious! GENTS WITHOUT CENTS (1944) - a very good short. This is the one with ...

Fantasia 2000 (Walt Disney Pictures Presents)

Kathleen Battle, Paul Brizzi

Walt Disney Home Video, 2000

Much more enjoyable than the dated original
As much as I enjoyed the original Fantasia, this new installment tops it. Fantasia 2000 is much more bright, entertaining, and re-watchable. 2000 prefers upbeat and even humorous animation to the slow and often gloomy sequences that saturated the original. The vibrant ...

Wise Blood

Ned Beatty, Joe Dorsey

Universal Studios, 1998

Ten Stars, Really
Another superb John Huston film. This time it is based on a black-humor Flannery O'Connor short novel of t he same title. I read the original, and the film sticks pretty close to it. Brad Dourif is unforgettable in the role of Hazel Motes "a Christian malgre lui" ...

They Live

Roddy Piper, Keith David

Universal Studios, 1992

Intergalactic Robber Barons
This is a fun romp of a Sci-Fi movie, where a small band of people in the US find out that the world is being run by invaders that are true Intergalactic industrialist robber barons. Rowdy Roddy Piper stumbles across the underground movement and things get serious ...

Interrupted Melody

Glenn Ford, Eleanor Parker

MGM (Video & DVD), 1994

Fabulous portrait!
The very gifted actress Eleanor Parker, made simply a vibrant and extraordinarily vivid performance about the life of Marjorie Lawrence's personal tragedy who was attacked by the polio. The famous Farrell supports Parker in his several characterizations. Excel tribute ...

Toto the Hero

Michel Bouquet, Jo De Backer

Paramount Home Video, 1993

Playing with Time - Borges would have been proud!
The premise to this film is fascinating in itself: believing from as far as one can remember that one was switched at birth with the kid across the street. Of course, the other kid is far more priviliged and as a result, tremendously obnoxious. What Jaco Van Dormael ...

Kate and Leopold (Bonus Edition)

Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman

Walt Disney Video, 2002

Lovely lovely fairytale!
I'm into romantic comedies BIG TIME, and so far my favorite is Just like Heaven. This movie though, is a VERY close second!! It's dreamy! It's magical! And it's romantic! I'd say this movie is the closest to Cinderella any movie can get. There seemed not much wrong ...

Tales of Ordinary Madness

Ben Gazzara, Ornella Muti

Warner-Fl

Tales Of Ordinary Madness
`Some people never go crazy, what truly horrible lives they must live'-Charles Bukowski To understand Bukowski, one cannot separate his life from his writings, you must understand that they both depended on each other and created an insane, incestuous bond that ...

Carnegie Hall

Marsha Hunt, William Prince

Kino Video, 2000

Carnegie Hall
Very nice! Great music! Story a little weak but he music sure does make up for it!

Mr Mom

Michael Keaton, Teri Garr

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Mr. Mom
Purchased this for a friend of mine who is in fact a stay at home DAD. Perfect gift!

Dog Days

Maria Hofstätter, Christine Jirku

Kino International, 2004

Hot stuff
Dog Days is an incredible film, though what it has to offer will certainly not be appreciated by every viewer. This is not to be meant as condescending - I simply mean not everyone will enjoy Ulrich Seidl's aesthetics which have more than a little in common with Von ...

Fantasia

Leopold Stokowski, Deems Taylor

Buena Vista Home Video, 1991

Wow! The First Music Videos and For Classical Music Too!
This movie was clearly way ahead of its time when it was released in the early 1940s and I'm not surprised that it was a box-office flop at that time as it struck me while watching this that this must be the "Sgt. Pepper's" of animation at that time. Another major ...
