VHS : Il Postino
that thinks that many of these acclaimed Foreign films, and especially, the Italian films ( I am Italian myself ) are dull and plodding??

They take the most small and trivial of situations and then labor through it for 2 hours.

In this case, IL POSTINO, my feeling is that it looked like it had to be chop edited to make a certain amount of running time. There were many jump points that bore inconsistency.

the lead girl couldn't be less interested in the main character, or men, in general, however, several scenes later , she is seductively rolling a plastic ball in her mouth.

The Aunt or matron or whatever she was, of the lead girl, is ready to shoot the suitor with a shotgun, but then, after he whisks her off for an elopement style marriage, ... Read More

VHS : Day of the Beast
Si le fascina "El Quijote" y "La Celestina" y los cuentos de Borges, ante ustedes un reto visual que casi iguala en profundidad el ataque al mundo de los signos que hacen Cervantes, Rojas, y Borges. Amén de la complejidad textual es además pura diversión, lo que lleva al observador consciente de los muchos niveles a reír, pero a reír ante la trampa que es la vida.

Great view of Brooklyn life, no fancy props, and Danny Aiello, as always, does a remarkable job...

VHS : The Bible - Solomon
I definitely recommend this Bible set series. Genesis is a little slow but great for children to understand the creation. Esther, Jeremiah, and Solomon are all very detailed about what events actually took place. Thumbs up!

VHS : Picking Up the Pieces (2000)
Only A Genious could make such a creative and funny movie as this. It stars Sharon Stone, Woody Allen, Kiefer Sutherland, Cheech Marrin and alot of other great actors, who all together make this side splitting humer work. and I would recomend it to everyone.

VHS : The World is Not Enough
Brosnan's third Bond movie, The world is Not Enough, is high on action but weak on plot. Robert Carlyle is a pretty good villain but his motivations seem a bit unclear. Sophie Marceu is also very good as the main Bond girl, while Denise Richards' performance is weak and she's completely miscast. Leonard Maltin wrote that the movie makes M (Judi Dench) seem foolish, and he's right. From the earlier movies, I took her to be a bright woman, but in this one she's unbelievably stupid, considering she's the head of an intelligence agency (no pun intended).

I wish they had done some more rewrites on the script and replaced Denise Richards. It's still an enjoyable movie, but not as good as it could have been.

7.Just One Night (2000) starring: Timothy Hutton, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Udo Kier, Natalie Shaw, Michael O'Keefe

VHS : Just One Night (2000)
Despite being a romantic comedy, this is not your average chick flick. It is free of the saccharin sentimentality that makes many such movies unpalatable to most men (and to me.) Quirky and surprising, this movie will make you cackle with laughter if you are willing to immerse yourself, even momentarily, in its magic fate-driven atmosphere. This has a beautiful, old-fashioned feel to it, in the vein of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"--sweet but edgy. Though the characters are somewhat lacking in depth, they are not in charm. Timothy Hutton is quite yummy as the brainy and ironic professor, and Maria Grazia is both charismatic and unfairly sexy. Skip the big-budget Hollywood dross and indulge in this understated and memorable treat.
