Hamlet - Criterion Collection

Laurence Olivier, Peter Cushing

Criterion, 2000

The greatest Hamlet
Laurence Olivier's Hamlet is the one which, as I child, I watched and it instilled my love of the play and Shakespeare in general. It is the best of all the Hamlet movies because Olivier is simply the best. No one can speak 'To be or not to be' quite like him. A ...

Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (1977 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2006

Restoring hope
I was born in April of 1972. My earliest memory is of the Bicentennial celebrations. I seem to remember watching people playing around with fireworks at our neighbor's house. But I'm not 100% sure these memories are accurate. The first memory I know for sure is ...

Horror of Dracula

Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee

Warner Home Video, 2002

One of Hammer's finest!
"Horror of Dracula" may not be a faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic Gothic vampire tale, in fact far from it, but it is a fine take of Stoker's novel.In this version, Jonathan Harker goes to Dracula's castle at the beginning under the guise of a librarian, ...

The Amicus Collection (Asylum / And Now The Screaming Starts / The Beast Must Die)

Peter Cushing, Barbara Parkins

Dark Sky Films, 2007

Love Peter Cushing? Then You'll Love This
Peter Cushing is my favorite actor, and his presence (whether top-billed or merely as a supporting player) elevates these films beyond their humble origins to the level of solid entertainment. The transfers for "Asylum" and "And Now..." look very good on my 720p ...

From Beyond the Grave

Peter Cushing, Ian Bannen

Doug McClure, Peter Cushing

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Subterranean hokum at it's finest!
War-Gods of the Deep aka The City Under the Sea scared the heck out of me me as a very small kid, but then I did live in a coastal town that was rumored to have it's own sunken town... Vincent Price and his immortal band of smugglers living in a somewhat mislocated ...

The Curse of Frankenstein

Five stars for horror fans
This is the 1957 Hammer Film which launched the super team of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, albeit, since Lee plays the monster in this one we have to wait for a subsequent film to see his handsome face. This flick turned the genre in a positive direction with ...
