VHS : Turning Point
I am very surprised that this movie had this high ratings. I may agree with others on the right casting, but this was not my genre. I mean, I love watching ballet but I hated to see ballet connected with divorce, alcohol, sexual relationships before marriage, jealous, mean words and actions, and swearing words. It was a very ugly movie with a beautiful ballet. The dance was exquisite but I didn't enjoy it at all because I didn't like the characters at all. When my daughter covered her ears, I had to turn it off. The peace came back as soon as it was shut off. I picked this movie because it was on the government's pick list, but I don't think my Heavenly Father wants me to watch this again.

VHS : Rooster Cogburn
Rooster Cogburn is a sequal to True Grit and in my opinion is the better of the two movies. One of the reasons is Kate Hepburn. This is a highly entertaining western where John Wayne and Ms Hepburn team up to capture the killers of Hepburn's father who have stolen a load of nitro glycerine to use in a bank robery. They are accompanied by a young Indian lad whose father was killed with Hepburn's father. This is a must-have for any John Wayne and/or Katharine Hepburn fan.

VHS : Child of Glass
As a child growing up in the 70's and 80's, I thoroughly enjoyed the Wonderful World of Disney that aired on Sunday nights. This film was one of those reasons why I enjoyed the series so much.

Child of Glass stars a young boy named Alexander who with his family move into a new house in Kentucky. While the rest of the family focuses on remodeling the home, young Alexander is exploring something else- the ghost of a young girl.

Upon further investigation, and visitations with the girl, he learns the name of the ghost, Inez. She pleads with Alexander to solve a riddle and find the "Child of Glass" which will bring closure to her life and will release her from being a ghost. She convinces Alexander to help her solve the riddle and he enlists his new friend Blossom to help ... Read More

VHS : Listen to Me
As much as I'd like to think that my debate career was on the same line as College football quarterback, some how it just didn't have the same impact. I viewed this movie the same way geologists viewed 10.0 and Astonomers viewed Armageddon. It was pretty laughable. Knowing that Tom Miller, UCLA Debate coach, was the consultant for this movie explains it all. I truly believe that this movie expresses how he views himself

5.Farewell My Lovely starring: Robert Mitchum, Charlotte Rampling, John Ireland, Sylvia Miles, Anthony Zerbe

VHS : Farewell My Lovely
Robert Mitchum, Sylvia Miles, Charlotte Rampling, Harry Dean Stanton, Jack O'Halloran, John Ireland and Sylvester Stallone,among others - what a lineup. Of the entire genre of film noir, tough guy detective films, this one is by far the best. Mitchum is at his all time best, even though he's nearly sixty in this film (a bit old to play Marlowe, in my opinion, but he carries it off with absolute aplomb). He is the quintessential tough guy gumshoe Marlowe (he floors Dick Powell's previous characterization of the role), Sylvia Miles and Charlotte Rampling turn in flawless performances, and in fact Sylvia Miles received a well-deserved Oscar nod for hers. John Ireland and Harry Dean Stanton also gave marquee performances as well. Even young Sylvester Stallone is a surprise. But another one that ... Read More

Chuck in fine form as a crusty sodbuster but a bit dour throughout. Earnest performances help carry it along but it's not quite entertainment, is it ? I don't think I can recommend buying it but should prove a worthwhile curiosity as a Wednesday night rental.

VHS : Baja Oklahoma
This is my favorite movie. As in the movie High Fidelity, on my list of 5 best, this is number one. It will always be Number One for me.

Please, please will someone put this on DVD. I cannot share an old VHS with friends. I send this out to friends who've never seen the movie. Nobody has these players anymore. Please someone respond. what am I to do?

VHS : Bond: License to Kill
Worst Bond flick ever. I own all the others, sure glad I rented this one. The scene where a semi trailer is tilted to one side to run with only one set of wheels still on the pavement to avoid a missile is the defining moment of how cheesy this movie is.

Watched it on TV A Couple of times. Loved It. The Ground Enemies. The Fight for Water. The Sword Fights. The Part where Patrick Gets Caught In a Bath Tub by the Villian. Cool Movie, Definately a Gem. Wish More People Saw It. If You Liked Road Warrior, Fortress, Screamers, or Lord of The Rings This is a Must for You. You Won't Be Dissapointed.

VHS : Star Trek - Insurrection
The Good Things
*Good action and special effects. Love the nebula battle scene.
*Good filming style. Generally more colorful and upbeat.
*Pretty good storyline.
*Good characters.
*Good writing. Contains some comedy and a nice love story. Also some interesting content concerning immortality and having two species of the same genetic root fighting each other.
*One or two interesting themes about youth.
*Pretty good music.

The Bad Things
*Nothing particuarly special; the movie feels more like a two-hour long episode.

The Questionable Things
*This film is called "Insurrection," but it's not that big of an insurrection. I expected the Enterprise to oppose the entire Federation or something, but it's more like a small isolated incident.
