Reviewing this DVD afforded a unique opportunity for me. Since its theatrical debut in 1984 and despite its availability on VHS, laserdisc, cable and even broadcast television, I have never seen "Repo Man" in its entirety. I’ve caught bits [...]

Recently I was very impressed by Bette Midler’s touching, sensitive and dramatic performance as Jacqueline Susann in Universal’s release of "Isn’t She Great!" Now the dervish that is Bette Midler, is back in a drop-dead funny comedy… [...]

Let me start this review by saying that "Evil Dead II" is one of my all-time favorite films, so it’s a pleasure to get to review it. Further, "Evil Dead II" is also one of the most misunderstood films of the past twenty years, and I [...]

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 [...]

One of the more intellectual filmmakers of modern times, Woody Allen has always managed to create comedies, satires and parodies that are thought provoking and full of deeper meanings. The subtext in each of these films is enormous and his skills as a [...]

As most visitors to DVDReview.com are DVD collectors and film fans, I can safely assume that everyone has had at least one DVD release that they just couldn’t wait for — either because it was a favorite film or because they wanted to see the film [...]
