VHS : Husbands & Wives
Husbands and Wives was released in 1992, and it is the last movie Woody Allen made with Mia Farrow--their unlucky thirteenth. It was released just in time to benefit from intense interest in the courtroom stand off between Woody and Mia over Woody's relationship with Mia's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi. Not to say that this was a calculated career move, but the film did better at the box office than any of his other films. It offered uncanny parallels into the real life drama, but it also differed in many respects. Still, it was weird how life imitated art, or vice versa.

As the opening credits roll, we hear a vintage recording of Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?" The first scene shows Creative Writing Professor Gabe Roth (Woody Allen) watching a documentary on Einstein ... Read More

VHS : Eyes Wide Shut
Once again, a Kubrick film gets panned by the know-nothing critics and brainless movie-going public. Big deal. This is an extraordinary film; easily among Kubrick's best. I'm sorry, but if you are a Kubrick fan you've got to at least respect Eyes Wide Shut. Even on the most base, technical level it's a marvel. I'm not being snobbish here, just bluntly honest. Kubrick thought this was his best work, and it's not hard to see why once you give it a good look. It is like an onion in that there are endless layers of symbolism and meaning to be pulled apart.

The film cannot be summed up in a cute one-sentence blurb, but going further I would venture that Eyes Wide Shut is the definitive 90s film- in how it examines man (and woman)'s desires, fears, and ultimately denial at the end of the 20th century. Kubrick ... Read More

VHS : Tootsie
The first time I watched Tootsie was when I was 12 years old, heard this Stephen Bishop song on the TV, and surprised to see an oldmaid clutching a baby and looking admiringly at the baby's mom. The song seems out of place.... [After I finished that second half of the movie, I rewound the Betamax tape--my brother had already watched it full--and re-play the whole thing just for me.]

But later, how Dustin Hoffman made me believe he was a legitimate old lady in heavy makeup, in love with Jessica Lange but cant express it, was amazing.

This is one of the first movie that demonstrated great acting to me. Even Sydney Pollack's (the director himself) banters with Michael Dorsey and Dorothy Michaels are remarkably funny, something that many other movies has imitated afterwards.

It's a comedy, ... Read More

VHS : Changing Lanes
This smart anagram resumes this dramatis personae between two strangers who will be implied in what it seemed to be an unpleasant encounter in the m the middle of a vial artery in Manhattan.

Two citizens, one of them is a desperate man, who must assist a very important legal question, the other is an unworried and prestigious lawyer. At the moment of the collision there will be more than a simple exchange of words. An important legal document will change of hands and the man will lose his accorded legal date. Since this episode, both men will be faced, one for getting that invaluable document and the other claiming by his sudden bankrupt.

High tension in this particular and engaging film who will involve the viewer from start to finish.

VHS : Barbra Streisand - "Putting It Together" The Making of The Broadway Album
if your a barbra streisand fan you must own this video . this is a great video. i loved the somewhere music-video. i think they should release all of barbra streisand's music video's on dvd. barbra streisand made tons of music video's back in the 70's and 80's that were never released on vhs. so i think they should release them on dvd.

VHS : Player (1992)
A parody of Hollywood, once more, Gosh. Nothing new will ever be done on that subject. It is a rattlesnake nest and nothing else. Only the details may change but the wider and the finer pictures are always the same. This particular film what's more is showing that everyone hates everyone and that everything is crooked and that all the every's you may think of are all berserk and warped. So what! What's the point? Is there a point? A no star film that ends up with stars. A bad ending that becomes good , they say happy, I know. An author who sells his skin for a million dollars. An exec that sells his soul for ten times more. Each million of those ten millions are extracted from the bones of one body turned into corpse. Morbid, morbid, morbid ! You kill someone and then within a week you make his girlfriend pregnant to compensate for ... Read More
