Saturday Night Live: 25th Anniversary

December 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

If you were like me and missed “The Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Special” when it originally aired on NBC, Trimark has done us a favor and released the extravaganza on DVD. Like every episode of “SNL”, the special is hit-or-miss, but [...]

U2: Rattle and Hum

December 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

As we all know, you can’t please all of the people all of the time. With that in mind, I still had the same problems with “U2: Rattle and Hum” viewing it today, that I did eleven years ago when I saw it in the theater. Namely, I didn’t agree with [...]

Warner Home Video has just put out “The Sea Wolves”, a 1980 film starring Gregory Peck, David Niven, Roger Moore and Trevor Howard among other stars, and despite the lack of any extras, the disc at least contains an anamorphic widescreen version as [...]

During the latter half of the 90s, we’ve seen a definite decline in the number of great thrillers coming out of Europe. Also, we haven’t had the kind of auteurs from that part of the world like we had in the 80s. Argento’s recent films have been [...]

One of the latest release from Vivid Interactive is "Jenteal Loves Rocco", teaming up two of Vivid’s hottest adult actors in a movie together. Although taking a rather traditional route without much of a coherent story, director Toni English [...]

Entrapment

December 3, 1999 // 0 Comments

It has actually been quite a while since we had seen a great movie that has its narrative focused on a master thief, who is out to snatch some highly valued piece of art. A number of classic movies have used it as a recipe, and immediately Jules [...]

Phantom Of The Opera

They say that when people hit rock bottom that it’s time for them to seek help. I hate to say this, but it’s time for Dario Argento to seek help. His latest offering is a retelling of the Gaston Leroux classic “Phantom of the Opera,” a period [...]

Roman Polanski’s "Chinatown" has long risen to the Olympus of some of the best movies ever made. It is a timeless film that never seems to age really, despite the fact that it actually is a period piece. Apart from Polanski’s masterful [...]
