1.Fuller Brush Man starring: Red Skelton, Janet Blair, Don McGuire, Hillary Brooke, Adele Jergens directed by: S. Sylvan Simon June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.87
Red Skelton is, without a doubt, one of the greatest entertainers of the last century. His simple, charming, often self-effacing humor is something you could show to a young child and not be worried about corrupting influences. His comedy was always clean and fun. That's in short supply these days. Unfortunately, this is on VHS, so the market supply is limited. I hope they put all of his movies on DVD soon. A comic genius like Red Skelton needs to be introduced to a new generation.

3.Man on Fire starring: Scott Glenn, Jade Malle, Joe Pesci, Brooke Adams, Jonathan Pryce directed by: Elie Chouraqui March 01, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.81
I watched this after seeing the 2004 remake and i was quite surprised by how good this one is; Scott Glenn gives a suitably haunted and melancholic performance (despite his dorky 80's wardrobe; no man can look cool with puffy shoulders & his coat-sleeves pushed up past his elbows) and Jade Malle has just the right combination of lonliness and intelligence as the kidnap victim. Joe Pesci has a great weapons prep scene (opening a crate of handguns he says gleefully, " I ran into some old friends of ours. Do you recognize any of these guys?") but he isn't really given much to do. The violence is quick and dirty. The director, Elie Chouraqui, directs in a style that recalls Brian DePalma when he was at his peak. All in all i would say this version of MAN ON FIRE is definitely worth seeing. ... Read More

4.Nude Bomb starring: Don Adams, Andrea Howard, Sylvia Kristel, Rhonda Fleming, Dana Elcar directed by: Clive Donner January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
This 1980 film marked the Return of Don Adams,as Max Smart Agent 86.Don is hilarious,as usual,in this semi-sequel to the Tv show Get Smart.In this film Max is now A member of A group called PITS(I don't understand why it wasn't CONTROL?)anyways Max must stop A derranged fashion designer from leaving the world naked(The Nude BomB).This film is pretty funny,but what really hurts it is that Barbara Feldon,nor Edward Platt, are in the film.Barbara Feldon/Agent 99(Who Max Married)is replaced by Andrea Howard playing Agent 22.Andrea is no replacement for Feldon.The Chief,due to Edward Platts'death,is played quite unconvincingly by Dana Elcar of MacGyver.The reason this film gets 3 stars from me,is because Don Adams is so funny in the film.But had Platt,or more importantly Feldon, been in it,it would've ...

5.The Dead Zone starring: Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe directed by: David Cronenberg August 26, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.74
This is one of Stephen King's really good movies. Christopher Walken is great. You really don't know what's going to happen next. And a great ending.

6.Terror in the Aisles starring: Donald Pleasence, Nancy Allen, Fred Asparagus, Lainie Cooke, Joel S. Rice directed by: Andrew J. Kuehn March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.85
This is a neat flick the way they had spliced clips from horror flicks together the way they did, especially from popular old flicks like Psycho, Halloween, Halloween 2, Friday The 13th:Part 2, The Fog, Dressed To Kill, Carrie, The Omen, Poltergeist, etc., so I don't see what's taking them so long to put "Terror In The Aisles" on DVD, because I would've bought this flick a long time ago if it was on DVD.

7.Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring: Brooke Adams, Maurice Argent, Veronica Cartwright, Sam Conti, Tom Dahlgren April 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.65
Let me say that I am usually against all remakes of classic movies, even if it is meant to update the subject and bring it forth to younger audiences. In my view, younger audiences should make a culture for themselves, by watching the classics as they were and then, eventually, move on, not the other way round. It is just watching "Romeo + Juliet" (Leonardo DiCaprio's vehicle), and pretending to know Shakespeare. It is simply an insult to good taste and culture as such. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) is no Shakespeare and does not pretend to be an everlasting classic. It is not even a remake as such. It is a follow-up to the original 1956 counterpart of the same name, which still remains a chilling and effective movie to this day (a bit like Hitchcock ... Read More

8.Flowers in the Attic starring: Louise Fletcher, Victoria Tennant, Kristy Swanson, Jeb Stuart Adams, Ben Ryan Ganger directed by: Jeffrey Bloom October 03, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.75
If anyone wants to know what the book would have been like without the incest, they should watch this. It is basically an excuse to watch children being tortured and starved for an hour and a half. There's no point other than that. The kids don't undergo much of a transformation. They get sickly and dirty and cynical and that`s about it. At least in the book, they made devastating decisions that drastically altered their lives. In the movie, they're just acted upon. I think they scream in horror a lot. I mean, it's horrible what they went through but you can't just have kids be tortured for 90 minutes and call it a movie. Something more than that has to happen. The uncle/niece incest is still in there, of course, and there is incestuous innuendo between Cathy and Chris, but it's even more creepy than ... Read More

9.Hallelujah I'm a Bum starring: Al Jolson, Madge Evans, Frank Morgan, Harry Langdon, Chester Conklin directed by: Lewis Milestone September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.06
(This is a review of the VHS version.) This movie is a real find. It's done in an unusual light opera format and features a lot of rhyming sing-song that almost anticipates some of the more clever rhyming action of modern rap artists. The movie was ahead of its time in another way too. It shows a nearly egalitarian interracial friendship - the friendship between two hobo characters played by Al Jolson and Edgar Connor. The relative lack of a racial divide between them carries over to the rest of the film. When the Mayor of New York, wonderfully acted by Frank Morgan, hands out a job in a bank to Jolson, who's briefly determined to reform out of his idle hobo ways - the Mayor at the same time hands out a job in the bank to Jolson's black compatriot. It's true the two are then shown working in ... Read More

10.Picture Windows starring: Brooke Adams, Alan Arkin, Joel Bissonnette, Peter Bogdanovich, James Calvert directed by: Peter Bogdanovich, John Boorman, Norman Jewison, Jonathan Kaplan, Bob Rafelson March 19, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.40
PICTURE WINDOWS is a 1994 Showtime television series now available on CD. The concept for the series was to focus on five well-known paintings and give five writers and directors the opportunity to enter the canvas and create a story stimulated by their response to the painting. Sometimes it works well, sometimes the connection between the painting and the story is so tangential that the stimulus is shaky, but in all this is a nice and potentially clever way to approach art. One of the more successful of the films is 'Two Nudes Bathing', an exploration of the situation of this famous image by an anonymous artist of two women at bath, one touching the nipple of the other while maintaining eye contact with the painter. John Boorman brings the canvas to life as a history of the work: painter Henri (Charley Boorman) has been ... Read More
