1.Cracking Up starring: Jerry Lewis, Milton Berle, Foster Brooks, Dick Butkus, Zane Buzby

VHS : Cracking Up
I was very curious about this movie. This is one of a handful of Jerry's films that have still not received a release on DVD. Well, it's easy to see that this can no way stand side by side with "The Errand Boy" or "The Nutty Professor" or be included in the big Jerry Lewis box set.

The movie is our usual Jerry that we have definitely seen in a dozen movies before this one. It can be comforting but he can also begin to out stay his welcome. There are somethings that Jerry does well and somethings that I wish he'd leave behind. There are moments in this film that will have you rolling your eyes and then you will have some moments where you'll enjoy it.

There are moments where continuity and editing suffer greatly. Because Jerry plays different characters throughout ... Read More

VHS : Angels in the Outfield
In an attempt to repeat the magic and financial success they had with `The Mighty Ducks' (92) two years previously, Disney turned their attention to major league baseball and the hometown Angels. Deciding to do a remake of the '51 film `Angels in the Outfield' which starred Paul Douglas they had all they needed available right from the beginning; a tried and true storyline to work from and access to a local, professional baseball team. What could make things more perfect? Well how about the fact that the team in question just happened to be named the Angels fitting perfectly into the title and theme of the proposed film! Ahh..., the genius of the Disney machine is a beautiful thing to observe isn't it?

The end result of their endeavors, `Angels in the Outfield' is definitely a kid friendly ... Read More

VHS : Restless Breed
Stalwart Scott Brady plays Mitch Baker, an attorney whose father, a Secret Service agent, has been slain in a southern Texas town by the leader of a renegade band of Americans that is selling arms to Emperor Maximilian's army in Mexico, and Mitch treks to the site of his father's death with a design of vengeance in this film set in 1865. The script is weakly composed with markedly inferior dialogue that is responsible for denying the actors an opportunity to interpret their roles, and with a considerable amount of anachronism, such as when the local marshal berates Mitch for behaviour stemming from an overwhelming "ego", a word not introduced into public parlance until Sigmund Freud culturally explicated it in the 20th century. Veteran director Allan Dwan is as effective as his scenarios will allow, accounting ... Read More

This is going to be one of my harshest reviews of a product on Amazon.

I was rather stunned to discover that this is nothing more than the proverbial home-made tape recording. Horrible black-and-white quality, no better than a poor kinescope. There is no packaging, no copyright, no professional labels, nothing. This is a 5-dollar tape with 33+-dollar price tag. The word "screw" comes to mind. Avoid buying this product.

I have submitted a complaint to Amazon about this product. Again, it's not in color, it's a home-made video, and it is not an ABC-TV studio product (unless ABC changed its name to Mad Phat).

6.Mad City starring: John Travolta, Dustin Hoffman, Mia Kirshner, Alan Alda, Robert Prosky
directed by: Costa-Gavras
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Mad City
'Mad City' is an exceptional film with some minor flaws. The subject matter is intriguing and provocative. John Travolta deserves much of the credit for playing his character both sympathetically and unpredictability. Hoffman is great as usual in this tale of desperation, media manipulation and greed! It's easy to get engrossed in this drama although it's not completely plausible when it comes to police tactics allowing the media and civilians to bum rush scene in question etc., but it's a fascinating film and should not be passed up! The DVD transfer is very good.
