1.Year of the Comet starring: Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Daly, Louis Jourdan, Art Malik, Ian Richardson directed by: Peter Yates November 17, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.95
This movie has gotten some unnecessarily bad press. It's basically a Cinderella story with wine. The performances are excellent and the Louis Jourdan subplot is clever. This is a straightforward romantic comedy with some international adventure elements. The script is by the great William Goldman. I've seen it again and again. It's sweet and endearing and the wine information is accurate. Check it out. You have nothing to lose and you probably have a wine-loving friend or two who will find it fun.

3.The Jewel in the Crown - Complete Set starring: Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James, Wendy Morgan, Judy Parfitt, Rosemary Leach directed by: Christopher Morahan, Jim O'Brien April 24, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.99
DO NOT BUY this series! After hearing for years about the vaunted "Jewel in the Crown" series, my wife and I checked out the tapes from the library and watched the whole thing. It was awful. The best DVD reproduction in the world couldn't save this film. We thought maybe we'd learn a little history while getting caught up in the stories of the characters, but we were wrong on both counts. Maybe if you knew some of the history of India's emerging independence, the story would make sense to you, but to us, it was all muddled and obscure. And the characters and their stories were equally disappointing. About the only person you get to know is Merrick, and he's so reprehensible that you wish he would just go away. We kept watching episode after episode, hoping that the ... Read More

4.Bond: Living Daylights starring: Timothy Dalton, Maryam d'Abo, Jeroen Krabbé, Joe Don Baker, John Rhys-Davies directed by: John Glen October 17, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Fun movie to watch a lot of action silly at times, but I really enjoyed it, if you not a Bond fan, you will still like this movie, much better than the other Bond move that Dalton was in.

5.Harem starring: Nancy Travis, Art Malik, Sarah Miles, Yaphet Kotto, Julian Sands directed by: William Hale June 18, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.00
For any woman who has experienced the love of a distant land and embers that continue to burn, this is a must see! I just wish it was on DVD already! That last scene, her last answer to his question....what woman wouldn't just love to be her in this movie? Been there...done it. Put this on DVD already!

6.True Lies starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Charlton Heston directed by: James Cameron May 23, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
True Lies has long been on the Sid the Elf back-burner. It was on the list of films that must be reviewed at some point, and kind of became an emergency B. It was like the Vinny Testaverde of B, weren't too excited to use it because of the apparent clumsiness involved, but if first and second options failed, you might be ok going with it. Well, we officially went into emergency B mode this week so we went with True Lies. It turns out that we were exactly right, there was a ton of clumsiness to endure, but in the end Sid came out ok. Really, you're never in bad hands with Arnold. If Amazon had his California tourism commercials on DVD, we'd not only review them, we'd give them 5 stars. The point is, we could get a laugh or a hundred out of Arnold saying anything at all. True lies was no exception. ... Read More

7.P.D. James - The Black Tower starring: Roy Marsden, Pauline Collins, Martin Jarvis, Rachel Kempson, John Franklyn-Robbins October 22, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.99
The Black Tower is one of my favorite PD James novels. I love the way that James uses dialogue by supporting characters to make one reflect on what Dalgliesh's inner thoughts and feelings might be. This novel has some particularly cutting commentary about disability and how that affects one's perception of oneself and relationships, and some discomforting reflections on the uncomfortability of the physically able in the presence of the disabled and their (the physically able) need to de-sexualize the disabled and aged. This is one of the novels where we see Dalgliesh at his most introspective. He is questioning himself and his profession and has resolved to leave the force and stop being a detective. However, the ITV version of Black Tower loses all of this. It is only a detective ... Read More

9.In the Beginning (2000) starring: Martin Landau, Jacqueline Bisset, Bill Campbell, Eddie Cibrian, Fred Weller directed by: Kevin Connor February 20, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
This is the best general Genesis movie I've seen. The scenes were vivid, the action paced well, the costumes done well and the dialogue was pretty good too. It goes from the creation, being told by Abraham, to the Israelites entering the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt. The only story really missing in this movie was Noah's Ark, but that would have made this even longer, but I still wish it was included. But this movie is very well done. The individual stories draw you into them and you really begin to care about the people they're about. The second part of the film, which deals with the Exodus, is really compelling and the special effects aren't too bad for a made for TV movie. This is definitely recommended for the family. It's really ... Read More

10.Passage to India starring: Judy Davis, Victor Banerjee, Peggy Ashcroft, James Fox, Alec Guinness directed by: David Lean December 07, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.39
This is one of my very favorite movies of all time. It shows a sharp contrast between India and the snobbery of the British who occupied it. The characters are beautifully done--Adela, who travels to India with her future mother-in-law, Mrs Moore. Adela came to India to find out her real feelings for Ronnie, Mrs. Moore's son. While there, she meets Dr Asiz and Mr. Fielding and the mysterious, mystical Professor Godbolli. Dr Asiz invites Mrs Moore and Adela to a picnic at the Marabar Hills, and while there Adela hides in a dark cave and escapes down the hill, accusing Dr. Asiz of rape. Mr. Fielding believes him innocent, and resigns from "The Club"--in effect, from snobbish English society. Fabulous photography, great actors, and a great story---don't miss it.
