VHS : 12 Angry Men
'57 is a classic par excellence, but '97 does offer some interesting new features. I use both of the films as a means of processing a vast array of psychological concepts while working with first and second year college students. When I first stop the '97 version, I ask students if they heard anything at the onset of the film. There is a clever insertion of the line, "I'm gonna' kill you," as the sound track presents us with noise of a passing El train. Many of my students can't identify what the voice said, and some don't even remember hearing it.

The '97 cameras pan the room differently during the preliminary vote and do not allow us to see the effect of group conformity to the norm as it is registered in '57 version. The guilty vote is not as polarized as it may superficially ... Read More

VHS : Very Brady Christmas
Our family likes to spend Christmas with the Brady family every holiday season. We bought the video years ago, and would now love to have the DVD. I already have all the seasons of Brady Bunch on DVD, and am not willing to buy the pkg. set for this holiday extra that is included.I thought for sure that it would be offered this Christmas Season, separately.
Bah Humbug to whoever makes these decisions!

VHS : Dangerous
Saccharine melodrama in which an actress in frank process of decadence is aided by a young architect who gets she resurges fro the ashes of the forgetfulness.

But is Bette Davis who once more, established the difference to earn herself the Academy Award in 1935 as Best actress.

VHS : In This Our Life
Director John Huston was known for having said that he let Bette Davis loose when he directed her performances. Here's a fine example. As Stanley Timberlake, a young Bette Davis is unleashed to royally throw tantrums of a very spoiled brat of a wealthy heir. Her sister, played by Olivia de Haviland usually takes the tormenting hits that Davis dishes out.

If a viewer believes Scarlet O'Hara (from "Gone with the Wind") was a spoiled Southern brat, Stanley Timberlake is the more modern day, more realistic version of that character. Davis' Stanley makes Leigh's Scarlet seem way less self-centered and as if she cared about several people other than herself. Stanely Timberlake doesn't give a hoot, frankly.

This motion picture gives an early glimpse of how great a character portrayal Davis is capable of delivering ... Read More
