VHS : The Thorn Birds - The Complete Miniseries
Overall well produced TV series and I watched intently with many emotions of passion, heartache, compassion, and joy for characters portrayed. The Stanwyk character was deplorable esp. with the line: on my mouth! YIKES!!! The aging process was well done for Cardinal Vittorio, Ralph, Grandma Fi, BUT Meggie looks more gorgeous every year, esp. the last scene, they tried to grey her hair, tho unevenly, during the same scene and nary a wrinkle....no biggie compared to her whisper yelling and flat dialogue, but very beautiful woman...Justine was prolly the worst cast in the series, waaay too wooden for a bohemian, maladjusted, wild child, head movements were even too stilted and not pretty enough to be Meggie's daughter...Dane portrayed the deepest expression of character as supported by the other ...

VHS : Full Body Massage
This movie is essentially "My Dinner With Andre" -- but with Andre as a woman and she's mostly nude. Granted Mimi Rogers is a lot more fun to look at than Mr. Gregory (I can't picture her as Wallace Shawn...), but the long wordy conversation which runs throughout this film is just as shallow and pointless as Malle's original. They talk about art, about shamanistic healing, about relationships and "the differences between men and women" -- but nothing is ever settled. Both characters state their opinions and keep talking. The gimmick of having one of them nude on a massage table is ultimately a cheap trick to keep male audiences engaged.

Nicolas Roeg often goes overboard on dialog in his movies (The Man Who Fell To Earth, Insignificance, Bad Timing) and also loves his "ooga-booga B.S." (to quote ... Read More

VHS : On the Beach (2000)
This is a review of the 2000, Showtime, made-for-cable production based on the wonderful Nevil Shute novel. The plot is simply: A nuclear world war has occurred. Only Australia survives, temporarily, until the nuclear cloud arrives from the northern hemisphere. A surviving American submarine arrives in Australia. A story of drama and interpersonal relationships ensues.

A film of this story was previously produced in 1959, starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Anthony Perkins, Fred Astaire. In my opinion, the 1959 version was superior.

This version is updated to bring us into the 21st century (not necessarily a good thing?). Now included are solar powered laptops, email, computer generated video displays, brutal street violence, raw crude language, an anti-military political agenda, and other such products ... Read More

VHS : Breaker Morant
So, who says the movies are strictly an entertainment medium. Occasionally a burst of reality manages to sneak through. In Breaker Morant we're shown what most of us suspect anyway-- that in war, the demands of politics trump the demands of justice. Kubrick revealed the lesson in 1958's Paths of Glory, where it was the French high command sacrificing three hapless dogfaces to protect France's war effort or at least those charged with waging it. Here it's the fabled British Empire on which the sun never sets and whose responsibility never ceases. It's a heavy burden-- civilizing the rabble, known to Kipling and his acolytes as the White Man's Burden. But then, it's got to be the correct white men doing the civilizing and maybe helping themselves at the same time to whatever riches the land may offer. The South African Boers simply won't ...
