1.Foreign Affairs starring: Joanne Woodward, Brian Dennehy, Eric Stoltz, Stephanie Beacham, Geoffrey Beevers directed by: Jim O'Brien January 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.71
I bought this video because i am a big fan of joanne woodward and like others have difficulty finding dvd's of her films. Anyway this film did not disapoint she and brian denehy turn in wonderful performances as the two middle-aged american strangers on a trip to the uk. This is a gentle story about two people getting to know one another faults and all and falling in love along the way, a very good film a recommend it.

2.The Jewel in the Crown - Complete Set starring: Anita Bhardwag, Bhasker Patel directed by: Christopher Morahan, Jim O'Brien April 24, 1997

I wonder if anyone else's copy was defective. Disk 4 was a duplicate of Disk 3. Couldn't even watch the end of the series.

3.Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Chapter 8 - Trenches of Hell starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, George Hall, Corey Carrier directed by: Jim O'Brien October 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
If you watch these videos in chronological order (which you should) this provides a fascinating follow up to the cute and funny Spring Break Adventure (even the more serious Mexico half featured jokes like the letter Indy wrote to his dad). The only problem is, that it shouldn't follow directly after like it does. There were two episodes, "Ireland, April 1916" and "London, May 1916" that were not put on video. Instead, we jump from what must be March (in Mexico) to "Somme, Early August 1916" and "Germany, Mid August 1916". One might ask why this was done. Once you stop wondering how Indy got to be a Corporal and all that, this video is very good. It really is too bad that there are so few WWI movies out there, compared to all the WWII ones to pick from. I've read some reviewers complain about ... Read More

5.Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Chapter 15 - Daredevils of the Desert starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, George Hall, Corey Carrier directed by: Jim O'Brien October 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.75
A great yarn with a little bit of poetic licence. Although based on a true theatre of operation in the Middle East, Indy gets involved with the Aussie "Diggers" of the Australian Light Horse. He befriends them and become great mates. A ripping yarn with great excitement and well put together. The action could have been a little more intense as it was in the Australian Movie "The Lighthorsemen". Albeit, I enjoyed it and found it pretty accurate for its historical content. The only thing thing it doesn't show is how the British stuffed up, like they did everywhere else during WW1.

6.Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Chapter 10 - The Phantom Train of Doom starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, George Hall, Corey Carrier directed by: Jim O'Brien October 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.20
It must be Indiana Jones! German East Africa, 1916: After taking the wrong train... twice, and managing to get lost even further still, Indy and Remy find themselves in the hands of the British Army instead of their own Belgians. With a promise to be returned to their own lines ASAP, Indy is shanghaied by a group of elderly commandos on a mission to find and destroy the Germans' newest secret weapon, an enormous cannon mounted on the flat car of a train; a train that seems to have the ability to vanish into thin air! Once free of that mission, Indy is tricked again, and soon finds himself in a balloon with Remy and a German strategic genius they've taken prisoner, flying low across the African landscape with enemy forces in hot pursuit. The Phantom Train of Doom is another excellent chapter ... Read More

7.Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Chapter 16 - Tales of Innocence starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, George Hall, Corey Carrier directed by: Jim O'Brien October 26, 1999

The first half is a hoot the whole way through, it has to be the funniest Young Indy episode. The ending is great; I remember being surprised when I first watched it on TV, so I won't give it away. I'll just say Giulietta isn't as naive as she seemed. To the second half. This one wasn't supposed to be amusing, but it was. First off I'll say that I did not like Edith Wharton, and from what I've read about her books, I wouldn't like them either. (Basically they're about people with repressed passions, who have affairs that ruin their lives...blah). Edith is obviously going through a midlife crises, and sees Indy as a potential boy toy to make her feel young again. Indy sees her as a mother figure, though a couple lines at the end try to convince us he wishes he were his father's age so he could have a romantic ... Read More

8.Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Chapter 11 - Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life starring: Sean Patrick Flanery, George Hall, Corey Carrier directed by: Jim O'Brien October 26, 1999

I thought, from reading the description, that this would be boring. But it wasn't, not by a long shot. It's probably the best "Young Indy". The action is limited to the first five or so minutes, where Lieutenant De Fonz (aka Indy) disobeys his superior and tells the troops to advance instead of retreat. This results in victory, and a promotion to Captain, but also the Major holding a grudge. Naturally, Indy and the Major are then teamed up on a mission to retrieve some weapons. The opening battle sequence was even more graphic then "Trenches of Hell", and when Indy grabs the machine gun and mows done countless men, we see just how far he's come (or fallen) in less than a year. I love this one for all the character developement Indy undergoes, especially in relation to the previous videos. It's good ... Read More

9.Rebecca (1997) (2pc) starring: Charles Dance, Diana Rigg, Geraldine James, Jean Anderson, Emilia Fox directed by: Jim O'Brien October 02, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
This film was well done. I have never seen Hitchcock's version to compare it with, but my intuition tells me that more than two hours will provide more space to cover details from the original novel. Although I have never read the Daphne Du Maurier's novel with the same name, the development and conclusion of the film left me quite intrigued. If the film and the text are quite the same, I wonder if the writer is more than a sentimental and romantic writer. For one, I found it quite intriguing that the second Mrs. De Winters never had a name of her own. I Know that the author did that on purpose. What was she trying to communicate to her audience? Was it that the first Mrs. De Winter was always known as Rebecca because she was truly a free woman, and not someone who belonged to this world? After all, she is no different ... Read More
