Planet Of The Apes: The Evolution

July 21, 2000 // 0 Comments

Just little more than year ago the thought of getting to see the entire "Planets Of The Apes" quintology on DVD appeared to be nothing but wishful thinking. Until one day during a visit at ’s offices in Burbank I managed to catch a glimpse of [...]

Robin Hood

July 20, 2000 // 0 Comments

Disney’s ’Gold Collection’ releases for July are here and I must say, there have been some noticeable improvements. After the ugly transfers featured on ’Pocahontas’ and ’The Fox and the Hound’, Disney’s DVD release of ’Robin Hood’ [...]

Titus

"Titus Andronicus" was William Shakespeare’s first tragedy and is widely condemned by scholars as being his worst play. They debate among themselves whether or not it’s a parody, a thinly veiled challenge to his chief rival Christopher [...]

Romeo Must Die

Expectations were naturally high when Jet Li finally appeared in his first lead role here in a major Hollywood motion picture. It hit theaters earlier this year under the title "Romeo Must Die" and is now coming to DVD courtesy of Warner Home [...]

Alice In Wonderland

’Alice in Wonderland’ is Walt Disney’s wonderfully animated interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s story. Released almost 50 years ago, ’Alice’ exhibits all the energy, wonder, and beauty common to Disney’s earliest animated [...]

The story of a young man who enters the adult industry to become a porn star was material for one of the most inventive movies of recent memories, New Line’s "Boogie Nights." Down the same lines, VCA Pictures, one of the leading suppliers of [...]

In the film "Scream 3", there is a lot of talk about movie trilogies and the attributes that go along with them. The characters talk about how "all bets are off" in the third chapter of a trilogy, and how you never know who’s going [...]

What About Bob?

July 18, 2000 // 0 Comments

It’s nice to see Disney going into the vaults to release some older films. ’What About Bob?’ is one of my all-time favorite comedies and I’m very pleased to see it come to DVD. However, judging from this lackluster DVD, Disney doesn’t seem to [...]

Outside The Law / Shadows

His success defied the conventional wisdom of the time. Movie stars during the period looked like John Gilbert or Rudolph Valentino. The great two-reeler clowns relied on physical elan rather than a chiseled chin and piercing eyes. Yet, with his craggy [...]

The Princess Bride

The wait for this movie has been long. After all I remember the film was on Polygram’s DVD schedules in 1998 already and was then withheld when Polygram sold its film library to MGM. There the film was put on hold for quite some time until it has now [...]
