Miniseries

Meryl Streep, Michael Moriarty

Goodtimes Home Video, 1991

THE HOLOCAUST
I watched this on network tv when it premiered. It's even harder to watch it today. With twenty years of ethnic cleansings, and smaller holocausts under our belts, one of the major themes of the story holds even truer. If we aren't very very careful any of us can ...

The Last Don - The Complete Mini-series

Danny Aiello, Joe Mantegna

Vidmark / Trimark, 1998

The Last Don by PK Reyes
Now this was a good Mafia Movie! Action, Action, and more Action. The acting was supuerb! Danny Aiello out done himself in this. This movie is about a mafia family, how father finally wanted the family to go legit. They were too far in to get out. Movie not for anyone ...

Out on a Limb Miniseries

Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance

Starmaker Entertainment, 1997

One of my favorite books and movies EVER
I thought this book was amazing when it first came out, when I was literally a teenager and first starting to think about life and what it all meant. I believe I have re-read this book over the years at least 6 times, and I always get something from it. For some ...

Small Sacrifices Miniseries

Farrah Fawcett, Gordon Clapp

Starmaker Entertainment, 1997

As good as the book!
Movies based upon books are usually not much good, but "Small Sacrifices" is the exception to the rule. Farrah Fawcett delivers a stellar performance as Diane Downs, an Oregon mother who was convicted in mid 1984 for the May 1983 slaying of one of her children and ...

Anne of Green Gables - The Continuing Story

Megan Follows, Jonathan Crombie

Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), 2001

Green Gables!!!
I enjoyed as a movie but I did not feel that this is continuing story of Anne Green Gables.

The Thorn Birds - The Complete Miniseries

Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward

Warner Home Video, 1995

Excellent no matter what version its in (The first one,anyway)
I bought the video version years ago. I remember when The Thorn Birds first aired on broadcast TV. It was of such good quality. I thought the acting was excellent. I saw it multiple times on TV, and then bought the video when it first came out and was very ...

Pearl (The Miniseries)

Angie Dickinson, Dennis Weaver

Warner Home Video, 2001

Moving Mini-series
I will admit at times that the story is a bit overdone. But overall I really enjoyed this story or series of stories. Most of the war epics I have seen spend a lot of time on special effects over actual characterization and story. I personally did not see that Ben ...

Masada - The Complete Miniseries

Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss

Universal Studios, 2000

"We have won a rock in the middle of a wasteland on the shore of a poisoned sea."
Back in 1981 this epic mini-series about the ill-fated Jewish rebellion against Roman rule pulled in what was then the biggest TV audience of all time, yet it's languished on the shelf forgotten for the past couple of decades. This DVD isn't even released by producers ...

V - The Original TV Miniseries

Jane Badler, Michael Durrell

Warner Home Video, 1995

Scary tv aliens.
This came out for tv when I was still very young. I remember when the aliens first show us a glimpse of what was under the human disguise. YIKES!!!! It scared the &*(^^ out of me as a kid. The story, acting, directing are all solid if not spectacular. The fx were ...

To Serve Them All My Days (Miniseries)

John Duttine, Frank Middlemass

Acorn Media, 2004

"Look ahead to a life worth living"
First off, I'm one of those who enjoys any drama, American or foreign, that depicts teachers, academia, and even anything remotely to do with a school - "The Paper Chase," "Good Will Hunting," "Diabolique," "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," "The Chorus," etc. The 1980 production ...

Touched by an Angel: Holiday Edition

20th Century Fox, 1999

The spirit of Christmas will always be here! <>< <>< <><
This video is a "must have" for any Touched By An Angel fan. It takes you on a road to the past, yet keeps you looking toward the future. You get a little history lesson on Mark Twain. The message, "Christmas is going to come, no matter what happens in your life."

The Crossing

Jeff Daniels, Roger Rees

A & E Home Video, 2000

Beautifully done in all respects
This movie was well done on every level. Good script, believable acting, excellent editing, great direction. I really liked the way Jeff Daniels portrayed Washington -- strong, understated and always believable. This movie works on every level and absolutely makes you ...
