Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Jim Dale, Patrick Day
Monterey Video, 2007
Not enough stars
This is by far the best version of Huckleberry Finn. I've tried for the past 5 months to find this in DVD format in it's 214 minute glory, and finally have found it from Monterey Media. This version holds true to the book in it's unedited version and surpasses any ...

Inside the Vatican
Good graphics. Loved the tape. I have seen the outside of the vatican and this was a way for me to see the inside of it.

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 ...

Phenomenon
John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick
Walt Disney Video, 1997
WONDERFUL FILM
This movie is a special piece all the way. Travolta shines - and the chemistry is perfect in all other characters. If you read about spiritual light and sound in Paul Twitchell's The Flute of God (!!!), you have an even better handle on the depth of this movie! Movie ...

Patch Adams
Robin Williams, Daniel London
Universal Studios, 2002
Best Underrated Williams film out there!
I don't understand why people panned this one. Williams was still a clown but rendered a dramatic performance that was second to none. Not quite as good as the "Fisher King" but then he didn't have Jeff Bridges to play off of.

Broadway's Lost Treasures Collection (Broadway's Lost Treasures 1-3 & The Best of the Tony Awards - The Plays)
Julie Andrews, Vivian Blaine
Acorn Media, 2006
Broadway Lost Treasures is great
All three tapes are great but the first one is my favorite. The dance Michael Jetters did, which we saw on broadway,, shows what a talent he was. TV should have had him dance. We also saw the great talent of Jerry Orback. His Law and Order character did not do him ...

The Little Prince
Richard Kiley, Steven Warner
Paramount, 2004
One of the best movies for adults based on the children's book
I consider it one of the sweetest movie ever. The entire novel is so different, that it's should be a required reading / watching for both children and adults. Yes, it's a fantasy, but now days bards still sing about the Little Prince and his "dependants". Also, ...

Mysteries of the Bible - The Bible's Greatest Secrets (History Channel) (A&E DVD Archives)
Richard Kiley, Jean Simmons
A&E Home Video, 2005
What secrets? These are Bios...
I was disappointed by this documentary. Rather than spending the 45 minutes going into the true "Secrets of the Bible" this was actually a historical timeline of the archaeologists who research the Bible. Now it's true that some of these people are interesting, however ...

Pickup on South Street - Criterion Collection
Richard Widmark, Jean Peters
Criterion, 2004
No 'isms' need apply
The people who don't like this fine film are usu. caught up in some political 'ism'.Fuller said "What bull****! I had no intention of making a political statement in Pickup,none whatsoever.My yarn is a noir thriller about marginal people,nothing more, nothing less." ...
