1.Yours Mine & Ours starring: Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda, Van Johnson, Louise Troy, Sidney Miller
directed by: Melville Shavelson
December 21, 1994
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Yours Mine & Ours
Yours, MIne and Ours is a sweet family film but some of the scenes are kind of boring and unfunny. Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda have great chemistry together, in the movie both of them have a lot of children and when they get married, boy talk about a blended family! Some of the kids are annoying, some are helpful. If you like The Brady Bunch then you'll probably enjoy this flick. Enjoy!

VHS : Heart of Darkness
It is not surprising that this film, a work based on Joseph Conrad's thought-provoking novella of the same name, has garnered a wide variety of opinions and perspectives- just from the Amazon reviews alone! People saying its terrible, people who love it, even those who would have it as "art" above a normal television film. Well, I thought I'd add my two cents to the views already expressed. So here goes... First off, one who did not know any better would never be able to guess that it was made for TV. I mean where (in the US anyway) do you see television movies that look like this, or have this kind of story. We're talking African rivers and jungles, madmen, ivory, and intense imagery here... and Nicolas Roeg seems to have been the perfect choice for so unusual a project. The atmosphere set throughout ...

VHS : The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
I remember seeing this in the theatre when it came out, I seriously had no idea what I had just watched but I knew I liked it!
It wouldn't be until just this year that I finally tracked down a US DVD copy and was the high bidder, watching it again was a trip. The wild sets, the rich colours, and the intense audio track make this a movie not like many others.
It seems to be something you like or something you just don't, but I think it's a great movie... not many people I know have felt the same way though, and very few people I know have even heard of it.
Check it out.

VHS : Vatel
Half an hour into the movie, I honestly was bored to tears and nearly cringed at this entire film. The only thing that's good about this film is the visuals, but flashy visuals don't mean anything if there's not a story. After just 20 minutes I got tired of watching the actors do nothing more but turn up their noses in snobbery and trying to acquire a French accent, which is not the least bit natural or believable. And Uma Thurman is absolutely boring and lackluster. In general, Vatel was boring. Even if there was an actual story, i wouldn't even care to know.

5.Everyone Says I Love You starring: Alan Alda, Ami Almendral, Madeline Balmaceda, Drew Barrymore, Tommie Baxter

VHS : Everyone Says I Love You
This lovely-to-look-at and amazing-to-listen-to film was a major departure from the typical angsty Allen film....and because of that, it's unappreciated....Amazingly, it's unavailable on DVD...I hope that changes soon!

6.To Kill a Priest starring: Christopher Lambert, Ed Harris, Joss Ackland, Tim Roth, Timothy Spall
directed by: Agnieszka Holland

VHS : To Kill a Priest
Excellent performances abound. Christopher Lambert in one of his early acting (rather than more recent "movie star") roles. Joss Ackland is his stalwart, dependable best. But it's Ed Harris's flick, one for the portfolio, at a time when he was still (largely) flying under everyone's radar. This reviewer's introduction to Tim Roth and Pete Postlethwaite, as well. Memorable stuff.

Looking forward to seeing director Holland's fine Solidarity tale on a remastered, anamorphic widescreen DVD.

7.Captives starring: Julia Ormond, Tim Roth, Keith Allen, Siobhan Redmond, Peter Capaldi

VHS : Captives
I've been watching this movie for years and enjoy it as much each time I watch it. It is definitely a keeper. I would love to entertain Roth in a john somewhere, or anywhere for that matter. And Ormond, beautiful and awesome to watch. Both did consummate jobs of this movie.

VHS : Perfect Husband
Having just viewed this film, I must say it makes for a pleasent evening's viewing. Revolving around two freinds Milian (Tim Roth), a gifted pianist and notorious womanizer, and Franz (Peter Firth), the manager of a luxery spa, who meet again after seven years. Set in 1900, the story opens with Milan having been challanged to a duel after he attempts to seduce the wife of a Military Officer. Milan wins the duel, his 29th by shooting the officer in the behind. Meanwhile we first see Franz aboard a train with a little girl where he throws a dog off after it's owner throws his pipe out the window. The meeting of the two invokes memories in Milan of a long ago summer and fall when he first met Franz at a spa and the two quickly become freinds. Milan also falls for Franz's lovely wife Therese (Ana Belen), but she at first repulses ... Read More

VHS : Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs served notice that a new auteur was on the scene, but though a good first effort for Quentin Tarantino, it was just a taste of things to come; and it seems like an experiment that was only partialy successful. Though it is often imitated, spoofed even like for instance a scene in 'Swingers,' it seems like it uses a lot of gimmicks, and even though said gimmicks are pretty much Tarantino's style, in later works, i.e. 'Pulp Fiction,' he is able to better integrate those gimmicks into a seamless tapestry.

It seemed very fresh and original at the time, but it may be getting a bit stale now, past its sell-by date. Like for instance, the scene where they plan the caper in the restaurant while discussing Madonna. Flash forward to 'Pulp Fiction' where they discuss what cheeseburgers are called in various European cities. ... Read More

VHS : Pulp Fiction (Special Collector's Edition)
This film breaks at least a couple of "rules" that apply to the novel or a movie. First, there is not a single character in it that the viewer can like. They are all human dregs, with no use whatever to society. Second, the plot is not continuous, and the viewer has to reassemble the pieces. These faults should destroy the movie--but somehow they don't.

In fact, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It is amazing that the director/writer could break such cardinal rules and produce a masterpiece. Is it the acting? Partly. The acting is certainly excellent. Travolta plays a stupid, druggie, ugly hit man to perfection. Samuel L. Jackson is a vicious but childlike killer who sees great meaning where none exist. The others in the cast are equally good, full of contradictions as people are. The dialogue is different ... Read More
