 | Barfly [Read More ...]
Description: The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski. But director Barbet Schroeder makes it into an oddly amusing story of a pugnacious drunk writer (Mickey Rourke) based on Bukowski himself. Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, ... |
 | Chariots of Fire [Read More ...]
Description: The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for best picture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain... |

 | Sharpe's Collection, Set 2 (Sword/Battle/Gold/Honour) [Read More ...]
Review: Slightly less spectacular then the first set.:We get four new adventures of Major Richard Sharpe as ge continues his battle through Spain. Sharpe's Honor is the best of the lot as we see the return of Ducos as a villian and Alice Kirge without her borg queen makeup but still car... |
 | King David [Read More ...]
Richard Gere's King David:This movie has some excellent scenes but departs from the Bible account in many places. Richard Gere plays a very somber David. I think David probably laughed and cried a lot if the Psalms are any indication. Worth watching. Read the book for the real story. |

A GREAT MOVIE:THE MOVIE, JOSEPH, FROM THE BIBLE COLLECTION WAS SIMPLY A GREAT MOVIE, ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. |
 | Tale of Two Cities: Literary Masterpieces [Read More ...]
Review: Rare love:I was impressed by the dual act of Chris Sarandon.
I took one star because the movie did not show much of the characters' passion!
Two men are in love with one woman. It would be hard for her to choose so one of them scarified himself for her happiness. The movie end... |
 | See You in the Morning [Read More ...]
See You In The Morning:I truly enjoyed this movie of a love story and the particular love of a Man for his children. |
 | Max & Helen [Read More ...]
Review: compassion trumps justice:the story is based on Simon Wiesenthal the "Nazi Hunter" and a couple who survived the Holocaust. This rare example of how the human heart can effect the scale of justice is a lesson worth learning. The movie demonstrates that to punish the guilty, one m... |

Review: Entertaining, tension-filled ... gave a relatively realistic portrayal of the CIA at work!:I recently watched an old spy movie on StarHub Cable Television. It's entitled 'In the Company of Spies', starring Tom Berenger & Ron Silver.
In a nutshell, a CIA operative was captured by... |

Review: Great Miniseries!:I remember seeing this miniseries when it was first shown in the 80's. An epic miniseries than spans many years in the lives of an assorted cast of characters that include Faye Dunaway, Richard Burton, Ann Jillian and many others that went on to become familar f... |
![]() | Sharpe's Honour [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent entertainment!:In spite of a lifelong fascination with history, I have never had much interest in the Napoleanic era, or the Napoleanic Wars--until I started watching this series. Now we own the entire set, and are acquiring the books on which it is based as rapidly as ... |
 | Star Trek - First Contact [Read More ...]
Description: Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#8 in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race... |

 | Little Vampire (2000) (Clam) [Read More ...]
Description: The Little Vampire is excellently acted and great to look at. Stuart Little's Jonathan Lipnicki carries, on his pint-sized shoulders, his every scene as 8-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires, and the Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness. But where this video earns... |
![]() | Haunted Summer [Read More ...]
Review: Think before speaking:On viewing this film again I wish to add that I did a disservice to Anglam's portrayal of Byron. It is too subtle a performance for the merits of it to strike one immediately. On a second viewing one is left with the correct impression of Byron as a man plag... |
 | Sleepwalkers [Read More ...]
Description: Stephen King's Sleepwalkers is about a half-human, half-cat race of shape shifters called, for no apparent reason, sleepwalkers. Hunky Charles Brady (Brian Krause) and his incestuous mother (Alice Krige) are sleepwalkers, and they've come to the small town of Travis, Indiana, whe... |
 | Ghost Story [Read More ...]
Description: Upon its release in 1981, John Irvin's version of Peter Straub's bestselling horror novel was deemed one of the worst adaptations that the genre had ever produced. Now it's available on DVD, and for the first time in widescreen presentation, and not much has changed. It's still ... |
