Thumbs down on this seller. I am very dissatisfied. I have bought many used items through Amazon and always had very good results with other sellers. I wrote to the seller and did not get a response. I asked for details on returns and no response. I asked for a refund and no response. Do not purchase from this seller. I am still waiting for action to be taken to resolve this issue. I rate this BAD (no stars).
I hope Amazon can help me with this problem.

There is good reason to believe that the reviewer M. S. Anderson is as right as right can be. Having just edited an encyclopedia concerned with the Old West, I can confirm that the professorial class is keeping this movie alive. After several months of reading seemingly hundreds of worshipful citations of this routine film and especially of its signature cliché--the meaningless line about printing the legend when the legend becomes fact (as if newspapers routinely print the truth!)--I began watching (in vain, as it happens) for references to the film that pointed out that the sets looked like posterboard structures on the studio's back lot, the characterization was shallow and predictable, the script was trite and sounded clumsy on the tongue, O'Brien and some other supporting players were inadequate ...

VHS : Psycho (1960)

Early in this movie the viewer is told that a boy's best friend is his mother. Is this true??

This movie is a suspense/horror/the first psychoanalytic thriller directed by the "master of suspense" himself, Alfred Hitchcock. It is based on the novel "Psycho" by Robert Bloch, which in turn was inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein.

Briefly, this film depicts the encounter between secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) who is hiding in a motel after embezzling from her employer, and the motel's owner, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), and the aftermath of their encounter.

Look for Hitchcock's traditional cameo that appears early in the story. (Note that it is difficult to find.)

The now famous motel mentioned in the summary above ... Read More

VHS : The Searchers
Controversy has swirled around this western ever since its release in 1956. Chief among the criticisms leveled at it is John Wayne's Ethan Edwards' "racist" hatred of the Comanches, manifested from the first minute he sees his brother's stepson, who is one-eighth Indian. In this day and age, when anything that smacks of "racism" is deemed to lower a work of art's rating, Edwards' freely voiced antipathy to the Indians is considered by many to be more than sufficient to demote this film from "Best Western of all time," which some have called it.

I don't feel that way about "The Searchers." Ethan Edwards was a product of his time and society, and thus would not have stuck out as particularly "different" among Southern and Western men of that day. After all, it is made clear that he fought for the Confederacy ... Read More

VHS : Autumn Leaves
Cliff is a little wooden but the part he's playing would be a challenge to just about any actor. Aldrich tried luring Marlon Brando into the part and he would have been ideal perhaps, but few actors had the cojones in those days, the mid fifties, of appearing so weak. Robertson spends much of the movie just lying down and crying like a little baby, as the process of infantilization takes its terrible toll on him. His sobs are real, it's just the other aspects of Hansen's character that he falls down on. You keep waiting to figure out why Joan is drawn to him. Can't shje see there's something wrong there? That quickie Mexcican marriage, with little Mexican children in sombreros, and donkeys in sombreros, why so sudden? I'm sure the contemporary audience would have read this plot as a re-tread of the earlier SUDDEN FEAR, where Joan ... Read More

If you don't like disaster movies then steer clear of this made for T.V. offering, as there is nothing here you would like, but if you love these films then you will find something here worth the price. Like i said nothing new just all the stock people trapped in all the same ways as other movies like this , but keeps you involved and has action to spare.
