My family and i absolutely LOVE this movie! We can't get enough and my girls go around the house singing the tunes and listening to them again online. Bound to be a classic in my opinion! Great creativity!

VHS : Jerky Boys
If there's one thing America can be counted on to provide, it is this: slapped-together movies looking to quickly cash in on the latest fad. Once in a while, this phenomenon can produce something truly special. (A Hard Day's Night, for example.) Unfortunately, you usually get stuff like The Jerky Boys, a cinematic train wreck featuring amateurish acting, a lifeless and predictable script, and tons of shamelessly recycled material from the Jerky Boys records.

You really have to love Hollywood. Who in the world thought that a couple of guys who make prank calls for a living would make viable movie stars? It boggles the brain. Prank calls depend on improvisation and the element of surprise; after all, most of the humor comes from the fact that the person being pranked isn't ... Read More

VHS : Wise Blood
This great, unjustly forgotten John Huston film has fallen by the wayside, and that's a real shame. A striking cinematic adaptation of the Flannery O'Connor novel, Wise Blood boasts Brad Dourif in the lead role, Hazel Motes, and Dourif nails it. When you see the film, you realize it would be really tough to imagine anyone else alive at the time being able to carry off the role. Harry Dean Stanton, as usual, adds his terrific skills as the "blind" preacher Asa Hawkes, and Ned Beatty is also along for the ride as singing preacher Hoover Shoates.

Motes, Hawkes, and Shoates--all preachers. This is O'Connor country, and Huston himself shows up as another preacher, Hazel Motes' grandfather, who spews fire and brimstone, inculcating his grandson in the fierce and vengeful ways of the ... Read More

VHS : Hobo's Christmas
I watched Hobo's Christmas on TV one year and I thought it was pretty good and had a great cast, especially Bernard Hughes and Gerald McRaney. It is a Christmastime movie that has some sad scenes but nothing too melodramatic or sappy and all in all it has a great message about love, family and forgiveness perfect for the Holiday season!

6.The Name of the Rose starring: Sean Connery, Christian Slater, Helmut Qualtinger, Elya Baskin, Michael Lonsdale

VHS : The Name of the Rose
While a bit slow moving, this midevil thriller was quite good despite its flaws. The flaws, I think, were brought on by the fact it occured in midevil times and the world is a very, very different place. Still, this was a great movie in its challenge to the subject matter and the thinking of the time.

Sean Connery plays William of Baskerville who has recently arrived at a remote abbey with his young novice Adso, played by a young Christian Slater. Some strange events at the monestary have the others convinced that they have been touched by the devil, in that some monks have met some mysterious ends. In a midevil Holmes and Watson crime solving (if Connery's moniker is not the dead give away then what is?), William determines that these monks did not meet their ends so easily and that there is ...

VHS : Da
This movie is simultaneously hysterically funny and poignantly sad. A wonderful representation of the Irish culture, their resiliancy and ability to use humor to rise above tragedy. Barnard Hughes and Martin Sheen have a chemistry that makes the film work. I await its American DVD release.

VHS : The Producers
Newcomer Gene Wilder in his first hit movie plays the foil (fool?) to Zero Mostel's cagey, corrupt and over-the-hill broadway producer.

For fans of Mel Brooks you see the first glimpses of his movie madness and genius. Brooks pens some of the most absurd and hilarious songs ever written, and directs over the tops performances by each and every cast member.

Some might say the movie is perhaps a bit "dated" for younger audiences, but that didn't seem to deter laughs from the teens and youngsters at my viewing. I guess zany comedies reach across the generations.

VHS : Sea of Love
Supposedly this was the film that brought Al Pacino back from the dead so-to-speak.

Um, for real?

Okay, so this is not a horrible movie, but Al Pacino is the films weakest link (or is that the script). The film is far from thrilling, which is sad because it had that kind of potential. It also lacks the sensuality that would have brought the film to a different level. We are expected to believe that Keller and Cruger have something real, something that would really compromise his safety, but I just don't see anything real behind Pacino's eyes. It's not funny, at least not intentionally, so I'm not really sure what this movie is supposed to be.

It's not thrilling.
It's not dramatic.
It's not romantic.
It's not funny.

What is it?

The film follows ... Read More
