 | 12 Angry Men (1957) [Read More ...]
Description: Sidney Lumet's directorial debut remains a tense, atmospheric (though slightly manipulative and stagy) courtroom thriller, in which the viewer never sees a trial and the only action is verbal. As he does in his later corruption commentaries such as Serpico or Q & A, Lumet focuses... |
 | Twilight Zone (Time Enough At Last/The Monsters are Due on Maple Street) [Read More ...]
I saw it in English:I liked the monsters are due on maple street... It made the 50's seem so abnormal because how things are today... If you haven't seen the origanal you must see it...!!! |
 | The Twilight Zone: The Trade-Ins/ Third From The Sun [Read More ...]
Review: The best "Twilight Zone" love story (and another one):Both of these episodes of "The Twilight Zone" reflect one of Rod Serling's favorite themes, which is people being given a second chance. "The Trade-Ins" (April 20, 1962) features veteran actors Joseph Schildkraut and Alma Pla... |
 | The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet/ The Odyssey of Flight 33 [Read More ...]
Review: The emphasis on the drama of the situation allows these episodes to wear well over time: The first of these two episodes is by far the best. In it, William Shatner plays a man just released from an institution where he was recovering from a nervous breakdown that occurred on a pl... |
 | The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man /Judgment Night [Read More ...]
Review: The very best of "The Twilight Zone": In my opinion, the three events that would have the greatest impact on human society are:
*) Absolute proof of life after death
*) Absolute proof of the existence of God
*) The arrival of extraterrestrial life on Earth
In fact, it is very p... |

Review: Shows who's really youy friends:The shelter isn't a particulary scary episode but shows what your friends may do to you in a state of crisis.A doctor has some friends over with a party when a ufo flys over and everyone is panicked and runs home.The doctor and his family retire t... |
 | The Twilight Zone: Once Upon a Time/ The Fugitive [Read More ...]
Review: Buster Keaton is okay but J. Pat O'Malley shines in the Zone:Comedy rather than terror is the rule in this pair of episodes from "The Twilight Zone," neither of which was written by series creator Rod Serling. To my surprise "Once Upon a Time" (December 15, 1961) was written by ... |
 | The Twilight Zone: The Dummy/ The Lateness of the Hour [Read More ...]
Review: The Uncanny:Both episodes on this video deal in the realm of the uncanny: for example, when an inanimate object seems to move, talk, have life. "The Dummy," made in 1962, is one of the all-time classic episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE. It is about an alcoholic ventriloquist named... |
 | The Twilight Zone: Nick of Time/ The Passersby [Read More ...]
Review: The classic "Nick of Time" and a Civil War "Twilight Zone":This videotape has one classic episode of "The Twilight Zone,"
marking the first of William Shatner's appearance on Rod Serling's classic television anthology series. The other one is a lesser "Zone" but with a nice tou... |
![]() | The Twilight Zone: Steel/ Game of Pool [Read More ...]
Review: Riveting Klugman and Winters:"A Game of Pool" is a riveting two-man show (duodrama?) about winning, losing, and competition set almost entirely within the confines of a pool room. Jack Klugman, here in his second of four TWLIGHT ZONE appearances, gives a typically intense and sub... |
 | The Twilight Zone: The Invaders/ Nothing in Dark [Read More ...]
Review: The Invaders looks silly now:I watched a different tape - which had the Invaders but not Nothing in Dark.The Invaders is a good acting performance and it is interesting but SSLLOOWW and a little silly looking now. Little versions of the robot from lost in space attacking this wo... |

 | Two Minute Warning [Read More ...]
Description: Unfairly dismissed by a number of critics, Two Minute Warning is an absorbing contemplation of the phenomenon of violence. Based on a novel by George LaFountaine, the story concerns an anonymous (and, until the very end, faceless) sniper perched above the scoreboard at a champio... |
