VHS : The Ma & Pa Kettle Collection: The Egg and I
This warm and funny account of a newly married couple trying to make a go of it on a backwoods chicken farm, based on Betty MacDonald's popular best seller, was a big hit with audiences during the 1940's and has lost none of its appeal today. This is a great film the entire family can watch together. Chester Erskine produced, directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Fred F. Finklehoffe in this hilarious and heartwarming film all will enjoy.

Claudettle Colbert is wonderful as the shocked but game Betty when on her honeymoon her husband Bob (Fred MacMurray) informs her he has quit his brokerage house job and bought a chicken farm in the country. She figures things could be worse, and they are, as their farm is a ramshackle old place that fights back! After all, there's not another ... Read More

VHS : Ma & Pa Kettle Back on the Farm
The Kettle story began with the film THE EGG AND I (1947). They had a small part in the film, but was asked to star in their own film series, MA AND PA KETTLE (1949) and then MA AND PA KETTLE GO TO TOWN (1950). In this fourth film, Pa goes into town with his two Indian friends to get on the nerves of Mr. Reed, the gemeral store owner. What Pa doesn't know is, is that he is about to become a grandfather. Pa gets confused and thinks his wife is about to have another child. Like they have 15 already. Actually, it's Richard Long that is the new daddy. The Kettles are finally settled in their new modern house they had won in that contest, but upon the sudden visit of the new grandson's other grandparents, the Parkers, who are well-to-do, the whole house is re-arranged by the new guests. But soon the Parkers ... Read More

VHS : The Further Adventures of "Ma & Pa Kettle"
This is he first starring role for Ma & Pa Kettle, but not the first film they appeared in. The very first film Majorie Main and Percy Kilbride as "Ma & Pa Kettle", along with Richard Long was in the film "The Egg And I" (1947). They were only minor characters in the film, but made such an impact and was considered so down-home funny that it was decided they should be given a movie of their own. Thus "Ma & Pa Kettle" (1949) was made. In fact, they made eight more films to follow. The films are quite wholesome and Ma & Pa Kettle living on the farm, I'm sure you will enjoy the country-life humor. Ma & Pa Kettle didn't always stay on the farm. They did go to the fair and traveled to the city and even Hawaii. In this film, they finally get to move into a new model home. Wait until you ... Read More

VHS : All I Desire
The mark of director Douglas Sirk and producer Ross Hunter is all over this glossy melodrama. ALL I DESIRE gave Barbara Stanwyck one of her meatier roles during the lean years of the 1950s', playing a disgraced woman who returns to her hometown.

Based on the novel "Stopover" by Carol Ryrie Brink, the story concerns Naomi Murdoch (Barbara Stanwyck), a third-rate vaudevilian performer who abandoned her husband and children following a torrid affair in their tight-knit Wisconsin town. Ten years later, after receiving a heartfelt letter from younger daughter Lily (Lori Nelson), Naomi returns home to see her perform in the highschool play, re-opening old wounds and awakening painful memories.

With it's lush Edwardian period design, ALL I DESIRE is a very memorable movie, especially for fans of ... Read More

VHS : The King of the Kickboxers
This is one of those "so bad they are good" movies. Not quite as good as the classic "No Retreat No Surrender" (although the style of the movie is very similar), its still good enough to be enjoyed.

Loren Avedon I must say is very unique in all his martial arts films. I can never decide if I really enjoy his presence or despise it. His acting is rather lousy, but to the point its almost fun. He tries to be funny, and it sometimes ends up being so just for trying. As for fighitng, he actually is very athletic in his earlier films, and this is no exception. Loren Avedon plays a cop named Jake, who is assigned to Thailand to investigate the murders involved with film making. When he is put off the case, he insists on going when he learns the man who may be resposible for the deaths is the same guy who ... Read More

VHS : Cult of the Cobra
What?? Another old horror film I never saw! It's hard to believe that I never saw this film as a kid! I never missed the weekly sci-fi/horror films on TV Saturday night and afternoon. I was in a nostalgic mood this Halloween and wanted to watch some of my old favorites. I never heard of this film and I decided to watch this film as an early selection for my Halloween horror marathon. It is a nice surprise to watch something so old that you have never seen before. The movie does have a good cast with Richard Long(Nanny and the Professor) David Janssen(The Fugitive) and Marshall Thompson(who popped up in many of these pictures). It's much better than some other old mumbo jumbo voodoo movies I've seen but, it was a tad too long for me. I can understand other reviewer's giving this a higher rating because they grew up with it ... Read More
