VHS : Common Ground (2000)
The stories are timeless and still relevant, even though one takes place in 1954, one in 1974, and the last in 2000. It is a similar format to "If These Walls Could Talk 2" in which there are three stories from three different generations. The 1954 sequence hits home, in spite of a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy within the armed services, because even now, a military career can still be irreparably damaged if a soldier or officer is outed. Gay youths can relate to the 1974 story, seeing minimal progress from 1974 to the present with the way GLBT young people are treated by their peers. All one has to do is watch "The Matthew Shepard Story" or "Boys Don't Cry" to witness recent cruelty against GLBT youth.

The three stories could have easily been made into full-length movies. I ... Read More

VHS : Great Waldo Pepper
I refused to buy this on DVD for years. If they reissue it again on full screen I will still refuse to buy it. The day they release it on wide screen then I will get a copy at once. This is one of those films that I must have in my collection, but the WHOLE THING, not just the main part in the middle.

I don't have anything to add to the excellent review by Ralph R. Echtinaw: I agree with everything he said.

I am putting up this entry simply in protest (also), that The Great Waldo Pepper has never had a descent release to video in any format. Boo, hiss!

VHS : The Reincarnation of Peter Proud
I saw this in the theater in '75 and I've never forgotten it. An excellent reincarnation movie that feels very realistic!! Michael Sarrazin is a veteran actor but this is the film I remember him from the most (along with "Gumball Rally"! - I can't believe it's not yet on DVD.

VHS : Superman 1
great, enjoyable movie. beautiful soundtrack. just wish r. donner had done more with the man of steel just like g. reeves. foiling a bank robbery, bending steel bars, jumping out of a window, fight scenes with the bad guys. the scene when the bullets bounced off superman in the tunnel should have been left in the theatrical version. it's the 30th anniversary of the 1978 movie. i'm sure WB will re-release an expanded edition with all the deleted scenes that were never shown. i have VHS copies of the TV version off from ABC TV from 1980. lots of nice scenes to see. enjoy.****

VHS : To Catch a Killer
I saw this film when it first came out on television. The film listed on this website is not the complete film. It has been cut from it's original version and format. To Catch A killer was just recienly on the Lifetime channel, and it is spli into to parts. This film is at least almost 4 hours long, and not 95 minutes. Anyone wanted to get this great film starring Brian Dennehey should try to search for the original un-cut version. To Catch A Killer is an intense, and horrifying depiction of the infamous killer (John Wayne Gasey), and the hard working dedicated detectives who built a case and to put this man away in prision where he needed to be.

I have the 95 minute VHS tape, but you are missing some of it's most griping moments in the 4 hour version, that any film collecter should want to own.

7.Black Christmas starring: Syd Brown, Leslie Carlson, Marcia Diamond, Keir Dullea, James Edmond

VHS : Black Christmas
Finally seeing it after all too long, I was glad to see that Black Christmas really holds up. The story of a regular group of sorority girls stalked and murdered by a madman is very much a chilling, suspenseful and engrossing tale. What really works best is how the killer, who is perhaps called Billy, is kept entirely a mystery. We don't know where he comes from, why he does what he does, and often see things from his perspective up in the dark attic. His rants, screams, whispers, glances and shadow is what makes for a really frightening film to this very day.

There are weaker parts to the film though. Margot Kidder is at the forefront of weak sex jokes, and there's also a lot of goofing off with police detectives trying to crack the case.

Overall, I can highly recommend Black Christmas. But this is ... Read More

VHS : Clown at Midnight
"The Clown At Midnight" is about a group of teenagers cleaning up an old Operah house that one of the teenagers name Kate, had a mother who was an opera actress, who was butchered by a man wearing a clown mask. Then now, the teenagers are locked up, while one of their teachers/manager are missing, and then the clown starts to hunt them down, one by one...

It is well done, the death scenes were fair enough. There is a stabbing, a boy falling off a roof, an electricution, a hanging, a spear through a stomach, and an axe in the face, and a decapitation. But when there is a chase scene between the clown and a victim, there is no music or sound track whatsoever, so it's not really intresting. These teens aren't average ordinary sluts like you see in Friday the 13th, they know when it's not a joke, and they try to be superior using a weapon ... Read More

VHS : Superman 4 - The Quest for Peace
i've enjoyed it very much; it was better than III. a lot of crucial scenes were cut out in 4. i hope they'll release a special edition in the future. i still want to see those scenes placed into the movie. there were a lot of flying sequences that were nice. Superman the movie 1978 will be 30 years old. enjoy. i still miss c. reeve.
