1.Forbidden Choices starring: Rae Adams, Dennis Bateman, Susanna Burney, Jim Chiros, James Gervasi February 08, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.88
"Forbidden Choices" is mainly set in a trailer park. The characters have surnames like Pomerleau and Deveaux. One would assume that it's set in a Louisiana bayou... but no! It's set in Egypt, Maine, and filmed in the evergreen state of Washington. "Forbidden Choices" is a confused drama. It wanders from unintentional comedy to melodrama to the standbys of sex and violence. What IS the forbidden choice? Earlene Pomerleau (Martha Plimpton),raised by her religious fundamentalist father, is attracted to the earthy Beans. She's smitten with Beal Bean (Patrick McGaw) the moment she sees his bare chest&fuzzy navel. She wants the sex,but the first time is lousy. Nevertheless,she ends up pregnant. In the meantime, the impulsive Reuben "Ruby" Bean (Rutger Hauer) ends up in the slammer for ... Read More

2.Candyman starring: Barbara Alston, Xander Berkeley, Michael Culkin, Mark Daniels (II), Stanley DeSantis August 20, 1996

I remember the old reviews of this movie which was once called, "The scariest movie since Silence of the Lambs." That reviewer must not watch many movies...and this must have been the first one they watched since watching Silence of the Lambs. This movie is not only NOT scary (even by older standards) I cringe at the idea that it is called a "horror classic," This IS NOT a horror movie. A psychological thriller, maybe, but not a horror movie. Actually it would be a three-four star psych-thriller, but don't bill a movie as something it's not. This was a HUGE disappointment.

3.In Which We Serve starring: Ballard Berkeley, Chimmo Branson, Joyce Carey, Noel Coward, Derek Elphinstone directed by: Noel Coward January 30, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.09
This WWII movie has Noel Coward written all over it. He acts in it, co-directs it with David Lean, and produced it. This movie goes into a great deal of detail about the life of the destroyer, her majesty's ship Torrin, and the crew on her. There is some action during fights with airplanes and ships, but most of the movie is centered on reflecting back on times aboard ship and on shore with families after the ship is sunk. These memories occur while they are trying to survive in a lifeboat while being strafed by German bombers. You genuinely feel you know what it was like for British Naval families when the movie is over. The level of detail is incredible. You will feel like you are right there with them. This seems a little bit like a documentary story but it does have live action throughout. You ... Read More

4.Fass Black starring: Beverly Ann, Sidney Bagby, Matthew 'Stymie' Beard, Jeannie Bell, Harold Daniels (II) directed by: D'Urville Martin June 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.64
Disco 9000 was a mediocre blaxploitation film. It was definitely not Fass Black's best work. Although, there was only one redeeming aspect to the movie, the acting of former LAPD super-cop Richard Warren. His performance was superb. He added great depth to the character of Vice Cop #1, so much that I really felt that I was on the mean streets of Los Angeles. As a former student of Richard Warren, my opinion may be biased, but I think it's safe to say that this is the best movie that came out of the 70s. This is just another testiment to the bias of the academy, warren definately could be in the running for 1976's best supporting actor. Perhaps a directors cut featuring more footage of this everyday hero would be more approprite. God bless our troops and God bless America

5.Bushwhacked starring: Daniel Stern, Jon Polito, Brad Sullivan, Ann Dowd, Anthony Heald directed by: Greg Beeman
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
I always thought this was a really funny movie. It's cool how just a delivery man named Max gets mixed up by kids thinking he's a great scout leader and the F.B.I. think he killed someone. I always thought the part on the bridge was cool when Max is cutting the rope and he doesn't know there is a kid still on it! If you love comedy, you'll love BUSHWACKED!!!

6.Chillicothe starring: Peter Bedgood, Lori Ann Beline, Marc Bowyer, Shelly Creel, John Duncan (III) directed by: Todd Edwards May 14, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.95 You Save: $1.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.99
Chillicothe is a timeless, hilarious, sleeper classic - Wade, Shane (Bert & Ernie) and the rest of their pop-culture friends are true-to-life while trying to cope with life's after-college-what-do-I-do-now? hurdles. Their 'wanna-be' lives with or without quasi-love relationships, the anti-climatic wedding, Princess Leia hair, Pavlovian dog-boy, the alphabetizing of National Geographics & the question of whether or not to watch movies with or without subtitles... It's all in there - just keep your eyes on the road!

7.Lisa Picard is Famous starring: Sandra Bullock, Neil Butterfield, L.M. Kit Carson, Nat DeWolf, Carrie Fisher January 22, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I love this movie so much - I could watch it over and over (espcecially the scene immediately after the airing of "A Call for Help"). The writing is so smart, poignant, and right on the money for anyone who wants an insider's view of trying to make it as an actor in NY, and also a biting commentary on the commercialism of the movie industry. I am not an actor nor have I ever wanted to be, but I totally get it. Anyone who's got any insight into human behavior probably will. Just thinking about this movie makes me laugh!

Even through i haven't seen the movie i did buy the soundtrack of the movie, i did enjoy the soundtrack my favorite song on the soundtrack is Friends For Live by Rhett Akinks & Mark Wills and Light At The End Of The Tunnel by Lee Ann Womack & Rhett Akins. I have always love Tom Sawyer and since it's in cartoon mode i know it will be good to watch. Rondall

If you choose to watch Shakespeare on Film/DVD you have to accept that it's going to move at a slower pace, more dialogue than usual will be cut and in this case an additional part not intended by the Bard will present itself. The little boy who appears throughout the play adds another (quite unnecessary) frame to a tale that is already framed. The actors however, are superb, (as they should be since they are the Royal Shakespeare Company) the casting of Bottom and Puck are spot on and the settings which move from actual stage to movie-like creations are delightful. The costuming is beautiful as well. So, if you like Shakespeare - you will enjoy this ... just try to ignore that creepy, ubiquitous silent and smiling boy.
