Where The Money Is

February 7, 2001 // 0 Comments

Paul Newman is one of those actors that are always a joy to watch and seeing him working his on-screen magic makes ’Where The Money Is’ a truly enjoyable movie. While Newman’s performance may be the highlight in this crime caper, the film itself has [...]

Frightmare / Die Screaming Marianne

February 6, 2001 // 0 Comments

For most of my life, I’ve read anything that I could get my hands on that pertained to horror films. Starting from a very young age (and in retrospect, I was probably too young!), I would read about certain movies and then do what I could to try and see [...]

Nova: Mind Of A Serial Killer

February 6, 2001 // 0 Comments

Image Entertainment must certainly get kudos for the clever timing of this release. ’Nova: Mind of a Serial Killer’ hits store shelves during a period when interest in serial murders should be running high thanks to the theatrical release of [...]

Dakota

’Dakota’ is one of those pleasant, but benign films that HBO likes to show at either 5pm or 5am. Lou Diamond Phillips stars as John Dakota, a young man who is on the run from his past. When he is arrested for fighting in a small Texas town, a local [...]

Hi folks. My name is Leonardo the Cat. My good friend Mike Long is taking a few days off, so I’m writing this review. Now, you may be wondering how a cat is qualified to review DVDs. Well, I’ve watched plenty of them with Mike, so I hope that I’ve [...]

Michael Jordan To The Max

February 1, 2001 // 0 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of basketball and the thought of watching a DVD on the sport sounds about as thrilling as, well, watching golf. But, as with most hard and fast rules, there’s always an exception and in this case his name is Michael Jordan. [...]

The Little Vampire

January 31, 2001 // 0 Comments

If you think ’The Little Vampire’ is a pure children’s film or a cheap installment of the ’Goosebumps’ series, think again. Not only is this New Line Home Video release a film of high production values, but it is beautifully acted, photographed [...]

Madman

January 30, 2001 // 0 Comments

I’ve been reading about this movie for years, but I’d never seen it. It certainly sounded good on paper. The film opens with a group of campers sitting around a fire telling scary stories. Max (Carl Fredericks) tells the legend of Madman Marz, a local [...]

Jazz

Until recently, everyone could have told you that an exhaustive treatise about Jazz music in film form is literally impossible. Until recently that was. Because since Ken Burns’ remarkable mini-series has surfaced, that has changed. For the very first [...]
