 | Jack [Read More ...]
Description: Jack is Francis Coppola at his most pointless noodling, looking for the film he wants to make instead of just making it. Robin Williams stars as 10-year-old Jack, a boy with an inexplicable disease that ages him at four times the normal human rate. Kept at home like a contemporar... |

 | Flubber [Read More ...]
Description: Disney couldn't resist the temptation to remake 1961's popular comedy The Absent Minded Professor, so they cast Robin Williams as Professor Philip Brainard (a role vaguely related to the character originated by Fred MacMurray), and the result is a comedy that, frankly, doesn't fu... |
 | Woman in Black (1989) [Read More ...]
Review: Quietly and genuinely terrifying.:Herbert Wise's "The Woman in Black" is not a particularly well-known horror film, yet there are nearly 140 reviews of it on this Web site. That gives you an idea of the impact this DVD has on anyone who has ever seen it. It begins and proceeds qu... |

 | Robin Williams - Live on Broadway [Read More ...]
Description: Sharper and deeper than Robin Williams's previous road material, Live on Broadway is a mature comedian's view of all things to do with power, prejudice, and paranoia in the 21st century. On the anthrax scare of 2001: "The Senate cleared out of their building but told the rest of ... |
![]() | Playmaker [Read More ...]
Review: Playmaker:Well, this is not Colin's best. It is dangerously close to a thrown-together Hollywood hills soft core film. It is rare to see him play nasty. (He plays two characters actually, so his nastiness turns out not to be his real self.) There's some mystery, some twists a... |
 | Mork & MIndy 3 : Mork's Mixed Emotions/ Stark Raving Mork [Read More ...]
Review: Out of this world romance. (Great TV Sitcoms):Known to be a great ad lib stunt on happy days. Who would of known how deep yet, surreal this sitcom really was. Mork(Robin Williams) an alien from Ork. Mindy (Pam Dawber)a very lovely small town open-minded free lib daddy's girl, and... |
 | D.O.A. [Read More ...]
Description: Like Body Heat before it, D.O.A. demonstrates why the noir thriller deserved to be brought back--if done well. This movie, inspired by the 1949 Edmund O'Brien version, begins powerfully. A man stumbles into a police station to report a murder: his own. Writer Dexter Cornell (D... |
 | Star Trek III - The Search for Spock (Widescreen Edition) [Read More ...]
Description: You didn't think Mr. Spock was really dead, did you? When Spock's casket landed on the surface of the Genesis planet at the end of Star Trek II, we had already been told that Genesis had the power to bring "life from lifelessness." So it's no surprise that this energetic but some... |
 | Seize the Day [Read More ...]
Description: This 1986 film--a dead-serious performance by Robin Williams, minus the overlay of schmaltz that informed his acting in the late 1990s--sat on the shelf and had no theatrical release, for obvious reasons: the film has the downbeat spiral of a 1970s film, relentless in its depicti... |
 | Paul's Journeys - According to Scripture [Read More ...]
Description: Paul's Journeys took over eleven years of field research and filming. We tried to find every paving stone that St. Paul would have stepped upon and this would lead us through his routes of travel. We even found a Roman highway by following our hunch. The ancient travelers had to... |
 | Good Morning Vietnam [Read More ...]
Description: Academy Award(R)-winner Robin Williams shakes up 1965 Saigon in the role critics agree he was born to play -- irreverent, nonconformist deejay Adrian Cronauer. Imported by the Army for an early a.m. radio show, Cronauer blasts the formerly staid, sanitized airwaves with a constan... |
 | Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition) [Read More ...]
Description: Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the ... |
![]() | Chicken Chronicles [Read More ...]
Review: Worth Seeing for Phil Silvers:I used to own this on VHS and remember the transfer to tape was horrible which is probably why it is no longer available on VHS. I threw my copy in the trash years ago.
However, recently (2007-2008) it has been popping up frequently on the Encore c... |
 | The Birdcage [Read More ...]
Description: Lies and deceptionit's all in the family when Robin Williams must convince his future in-laws that he's as upstanding and uptight as they are in "the funniest comedy you'll see this year" (Gene Shalit, "Today Show"). Co-starring Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest, Christine ... |
 | Cadillac Man [Read More ...]
Description: Robin Williams is in his edgily desperate mode as a Queens car salesman whose life is in turmoil. He's fooling around with someone else's wife, his marriage is on the rocks, and he has to sell 12 cars in 12 days or he will lose his job. He's so desperate that he even tries to pit... |
 | Bicentennial Man [Read More ...]
Description: Bicentennial Man was stung at the 1999 box office, due no doubt in part to poor timing during a backlash against Robin Williams and his treacly performances in two other, then-recent releases, Jakob the Liar and Patch Adams. But this near-approximation of a science fiction ep... |
 | The Earth Day Special [Read More ...]
Celebrity driven special about the importance of environmental awareness. Features stars from the Cosby Show and Married with Children. |
![]() | Puppet Master [Read More ...]
Review: If you meet Ms. Leech, you should insist that she use mouth wash:She's perfect...gorgeous face, great figure, porcelain skin, raven hair down her back. She has only one flaw. She has a habit of gagging up thick, mucous-covered leeches while making deep, retching noises. Personall... |
