Redwood

Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall

Warner Home Video, 1992

The Shining - a genuine classic
The Shining strikes me as one of only three Stephen King adaptations that are completely successful, the others being Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption. Unlike that other film, The Shining was from the start in for a substantial makeover, in this case by ...

The Affair

Courtney B. Vance, Kerry Fox

Hbo Home Video, 1996

Race, War and Love
In "The Affair" Courtney Vance gives a strong performance as a Black G. I. stationed in England during W. W. II who meets and falls in love with a married Englishwoman. It is a compelling story because it dramatizes how dangerous love, whether extra-marital or not, ...

Gordon's War

Paul Winfield, Carl Lee

Fox Home Entertainment, 1987

A GREAT MOVIE!
This is one the best movies of the blaxploitation era, which strangely, didn't acquired the cult status that SUPERFLY, SHAFT & COFFY enjoy today. This movie has a great cast: a very young Paul Winfield(Gordon), Carl Lee ( Bee; who also played "Eddie" in SUPERFLY ), ...

Bond: View to a Kill

Roger Moore, Christopher Walken

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

AVTAK needs to be re-evaluated
Recently I upgraded from VHS to these new 2-Disc ultimate edition DVDs and i couldn't be more pleased. The films look and sound great, and the special features are intriguing. I've always considered A View to a Kill as one of the worst, alongside The Man With ...

Porky's

Dan Monahan, Mark Herrier

20th Century Fox, 1997

Loved the movie - waiting on the HD-DVD Edition
I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters. I bought the movie when it came out on VHS. I'll buy the movie again if it comes out on HD-DVD. Otherwise, I'll keep my VHS player tuned up :)

Outland

Sean Connery, Peter Boyle

Warner Home Video, 1993

"I need those files by tomorrow or I'll kick your nasty ... all over this hospital, that's a Marshall joke" Sean Connery
Sure it's "High Noon" in space, but it works well with a very powerful star turn by Sean Connery as a Marshall of a mining town on Jupiter's moon Io. Backing him up are Frances Sternhagen as the "town" doctor and his only help, and Peter Boyle as the bad guy who runs ...

Orpheus Descending

Kevin Anderson, Brad Sullivan

Turner Home Entertainment, 1990

Tennessee at his best!
I originally saw this production on Broadway. The taped performances are astonishingly good. Kevin Anderson is outstanding, and Redgrave cannot be topped. The ending is as Tennessee wanted it. While I will always like and have a copy of the movie version with ...

Redwood Curtain

Jeff Daniels, Lea Salonga

Hallmark, 1999

Fine ensemble performance
A wonderful movie with fine performances by a great ensemble cast. The whole film, from start to finish is excellent. Lithgow's performance as an adoptive father striving to encourage his adopted daughter's, Salonga, musical career will touch a lot of buttons. Her ...

Trumpeter Blues

Morningstar Entertainment Inc.

Creating a wonderfully sensitive nature documentary, poetically scripted narration and atmospheric music backs magnificently crystalline views of the trumpeter swan, a graceful, white-hued bird with an amazing eight-foot wing span. Picture postcard Yellowstone Park vistas of snowcapped mountains rising against azure skies set the mood for the ...

Shock Treatment

Jessica Harper, Cliff De Young

20th Century Fox, 1993

1 star movie get's 5 star treatment
I give this movie 5 stars because the songs are infectious and catchy and the if you have a sense of humour and love subtlety then this early 80's musical is for you. By the time this movie was released in September 1981, movie musicals had almost stopped being ...

The Sender

Kathryn Harrold, Zeljko Ivanek

Paramount, 1998

your dreams will never be the same
Director Roger Christian's film is more supernatural than horror, with Zeljko Ivanek as an amnesiac attempted suicide who is brought to a Georgian state mental asylm and assigned Kathyn Harrold as his doctor. That Harrold's name is Farmer and resists the standard ...

Mushrooms as Planetary Healers: From Toxic Waste Sites to Old Growth Forests

Sound Photosynthesis, 2000

An entertaining and jam-packed talk given by Paul Stamets at the San Francisco Fungus Fair about bioremediation; the importance of the fungal genome, especially the old growth forests; the use of fungi in early Europe; and now the re-discovery of these fungi in helping preserve, repair, and balance ecosystems. Lots of great slides. This is a great ...
