The Complete Musketeers (The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers)

Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003

Outstanding adventure films!
I remember when this version of "The Three Musketeers" was due to be released in the 70's...it was promoted as being more realistic in the atmosphere, attire and weaponry use of the time depicted. It hits square on in all these areas! The more gritty atmosphere (along ...

The Thorn Birds

Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward

Warner Home Video, 2004

In Defense of Rachel Ward
Although most agree that this was a gripping storyline and a classic miniseries, there were some people that criticized Rachel Ward. I would like to point out the following: 1) She was extraordinarily beautiful, hard to look away from when she was on-screen. It ...

The Towering Inferno (Special Edition)

Paul Newman, Steve McQueen

20th Century Fox, 2006

Great Disaster Flick!
Irwin Allen's follow-up to "The Poseidon Adventure" was a star studded spectacle with wonderful special effects and lots of suspense. Starring Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and William Holden. Music by John Williams. Look for Maureen McGovern singing "We ...

The Thorn Birds Collector's Edition (The Thorn Birds / The Thorn Birds 2 - The Missing Years)

Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward

Warner Home Video, 2005

Somewhat satisfied
The Thorn BirdsThe Thorn Birds Collector's Edition (The Thorn Birds / The Thorn Birds 2 - The Missing Years) It has been a few years since I purchased and watched this movie. Now I understand why old movies are enchanced for watching on today's technology. It was ...

Beyond the Law

Ed Adams, Dennis Burkley

Lions Gate, 2001

Beyond the Law
Beyond the Law---Based on a true story,written as a real story. Nothing hokey in the story,dialogue or acting !!! It's a serious story with some light moments about a cop(with a troubling item in his past)who goes undercover to bust a notorius mid-west biker ...

James Clavell's Shogun

Richard Chamberlain, Yôko Shimada

Paramount, 2003

Mesmerizing story
Shogun is one of the best adaptations of a literary bestseller to the small screen. Superb acting, great scenery and great suspense story. Too bad that one of the 5 discs is flawed. The picture stalls and there is no way to continue watching unless the skip button is ...

Julius Caesar

Charlton Heston, Jill Bennett

Republic Pictures, 2007

What do Moses, Ben-Hur, and Antony have in common?
What do Moses, Ben-Hur, and Antony have in common? Answer: They all look like Charlton Heston. If somehow you missed the play or the history, basically Julius Caesar let his status go to his head and is about to take on the role of emperor. It is up to a handful of ...

The Thorn Birds 2 - The Missing Years

Richard Chamberlain, Amanda Donohoe

I like it!
Thornbirds - The Missing Years really entertained me. I liked it A LOT. I enjoyed it so much I bought it. Chamberlain reprises his role from the original miniseries and he's great. I agree with a previous reviewer about the final scene. It's one of my favorites too. I ...

The Count of Monte - Cristo [ 1975, IMPORT , ALL REGIONS ]

Richard Chamberlain, Tony Curtis

South Korea

I M English
Outstanding movie; Richard Chamberlain is at his best; follows the book but with greater attention to detail; the American accents are somewhat harsh at times but forgiveable in the overall

Stage Fright

Alfie Bass, Ballard Berkeley

Warner Home Video, 2004

All The World Is A Stage
I truly think this is one of Hitchcock's great over-looked films. Many fine performances lift this film up over the false turn taken early in the movie. Hitchcock himself wasn't too sure if he did the right thing with his plot twist, or if he made all the characters ...

Blackbeard [Blu-ray]

Angus Macfadyen, Stacy Keach

Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2008

Swashbuckling Returns
I am a big fan of the Swashbuckling movies of the 40's and 50's --- this is a good swashbuckler reminisce of that era. Being a fan of old pirate movies, I eagerly awaited: Pirates of the Caribbean but was very disappointed since it was not a "good pirate" type movie ...

Blackbeard

Angus Macfadyen, Mark Umbers

Platinum Disc, 2006

Blackbeard
The Blackbeard DVD was great!! I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to watch it again!
