Power

Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer

Walt Disney Video, 1994

Epic movie making
In my humble opinion, Tombstone is one of the best westerns made. I wasn't looking for a history lesson, I can watch the history channel for that. I was looking for movie entertainment at it's hyperbolic best. Every character; the good, the bad, the ugly are over ...

Literary Masterpieces: The Count of Monte Cristo

Richard Chamberlain, Kate Nelligan

Live / Artisan, 1996

The Best Version of "Cristo"
I saw this when it was first shown on US television in about 1975 and was amazed by the storyline and the acting. I had seen Chamberlain in his TV series, but this film allowed him a vast range of emotions and exercises which the Tv show did not. I had not read the ...

Dead Poet's Society

Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard

Touchstone / Disney, 1994

READING, WRITING AND DEATH
Some of you may remember John Houseman's portrayal as the legendary Professor Kingsfield in "The Paper Chase". It's said that Arthur Miller of "Miller's Court" was a copy of this stern teacher who taught effectively using the Socratic method of instruction for 40 plus ...

Elvis and ME

Susan Walters, Dale Midkiff

Starmaker Entertainment, 1992

Elvis & Me One of the best movies I have seen in my life
When I first saw this movie Elvis and Me, I didn't think I would like it that much. Then I changed my mind. Dale Midkiff did a WONDERFUL job playing Elvis. The way he would smile, laugh, look dramatic, and look at the actress Susan Walters whom was playing Precilla. ...

AB Roller Plus: Rock 'n Roll Ab Workout (15 Minute Power Program for Abdominals)

Venture Aerobic Productions, Inc., 1995

Backup from my ab roller
This is worth having. I bought mine as a backup to the original VHS cassette I had when I bought the ab roller unit several years ago. Too bad they don't put these things out on DVD. Go figure.

Inside Daisy Clover

Natalie Wood, Christopher Plummer

Warner Home Video, 1993

"You're not Myrna Loy!"
I LOVE this movie. What I want to know is, do people still buy VHS tapes?? Why in the world this film is not on DVD is beyond me. My favorite part is the promotional short Daisy did for Swan studios where she dances and sings in outer space; beautiful cinematography ...

20th Century Fox, 1995

The Carol Burnett Show
As a little girl living in South Africa, Wednesday nights was very special. That's when The Carol Burnett Show came on. I thorougly enjoyed her shows. Today, 32 years on, I still enjoy her timeless pieces especially the Dentist sketch. I would like very much to ...

Little Nellie Kelly

Judy Garland, George Murphy

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Why is this film so hard to find? It's great! --And a BUY!
Judy Garland worked very hard to play both mother Nellie Kelly and daughter Little Nellie Kelly in this movie-and it shows! Her performance is both flawless and a treat for Garland fans. She dances, acts and sings very well. (Look for a brief "Singing in the Rain" by ...

Ananda Yoga for Emotional Healing delivers on what it says it will. It is an hour-long video that combines hatha yoga poses, breathing exercises, and affirmations, and ends with a guided meditation. Overall, I really enjoyed it. The poses seemed designed for ...

Guyana Tragedy: Story of Jim Jones

Powers Boothe, Ned Beatty

Vci Video, 2003

A great film that seems to have been forgotten ...
This film is powerful, simplly put. Powers Boothe gives a dynamic performance as Jim Jones, one which won him an Emmy. The film was made for television, and premiered not long after the actual event. The film is presented in two parts, and its structure puts us in ...

Two Years Before the Mast (B&W)

Alan Ladd, Brian Donlevy

Universal Studios, 1998

A Great movie, with a Great Star!
One of the best (boys) adventure books ever written was Charles Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. I read this book when I was 12, along with R.L. Stevenson's Treasure Island, and DaFoe's Robinson Caruso. This movie adaptation of Dana's work is as close to ...

Southern Comfort

Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Forgotten Thriller
Having briefly lived in the area where this film was made and having seen the Cajun village where some of the movie was filmed made the film more thrilling. The acting was good and the film moved along well. Having been out in the bayou country myself made the ...

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 ...
