The Endless Summer from Image Entertainment Price: $11.24 Customer Review:  The Endless Summer is probably my all-time favorite movie (I usually enjoy watching it with Endless Summer II & Endless Summer Revisited in one marathon session). The theme of two guys crossing the globe in search of the perfect wave is a classic. The raw, unrefined ("home movie-ish") surf... |

Eddie and the Cruisers from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $11.96 Customer Review: Sure, the acting may not be Oscar quality, but who cares? The characters have been perfectly cast, with Michael Pare BELIEVABLE when he expertly lip synchs the fantastic music. With apologies to Mr. Springsteen, John Cafferty is, in his own right, a terrific artist, who measures up quite well to The... |

Dawson's Creek - The Series Finale (Extended Cut) from Columbia Tristar Hom Price: $18.71 Customer Review: I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the season finale of Dawson's Creek. I got thoroughly hooked on Dawson's Creek starting in Season 4, which as I understand it wasn't the best of the seasons after that. But I have caught up on some of the past seasons with the syndication of the series.... |

Sling Blade from Miramax Price: $14.99 Customer Review: SLING BLADE is a tragedy. In fact, all the ingredients of the ancient greek tragedies are there. The murdered mother, the abandoned brother and the almighty Fate which will pursue Karl during his whole life. Billy Bob Thornton's hero is the symbol of the weakest of the weakest : the children, the... |

Endless Summer Collection from Image Entertainment Price: $35.99 Customer Review: These films are like the 80's movies that made everything that mattered happen. Ferris, Goonies, Breakfast Club, etc . . . except they are surfing classics, epic documentaries if you will. **Bruce Brown has the classic surfer aesthetic, and narrates each film poignantly and humorously. Endless... |

On Any Sunday from Monterey Home Video Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Excellent documentry on motorcycle racing and recreation in 1971. Although contemporary competition is faster, the footage of 1970-era machines is still exciting to watch in this movie. Several well-known racers are featured, and Steve McQueen appears in much of the movie, participating in desert... |

On Any Sunday 30th Anniversary Collection from Monterey Home Video Price: $39.96 Customer Review:  This is a difficult set of father/son directed films to rate. On Any Sunday gets 5 stars; the all time classic, perhaps best motorcycle film ever although I would consider The Road Racers a contender. The seriousness of the sport is not ignored, but Bruce Brown's sense of humor always shines... |

Suspicion from Warner Home Video Price: $15.98 Customer Review: Cary Grant (Johnnie Aysgarth) was 37 when this was released and perhaps at the pinnacle of his sexual charm (but not at the pinnacle of his career by a long shot); and Joan Fontaine (Lina Aysgarth--not "Linda," as the video jacket mistakenly has it), 24, was fresh from her very fine performance in... |

Santa and Pete from Good Times Home Vide Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Hume Cronyn appeared in many wonderful motion pictures but I will remember him always as Saint Nicholas (on his way to becoming Santa!) in "Santa and Pete". James Earl Jones and the entire cast made this a most memorable story. Congratulations to all involved in this truly wonderful rendition of the... |

Breaker Morant from Fox Lorber Price: $17.98 Customer Review: This superbly written, directed and acted movie ranks, in my opinion, with All Quiet on the Western Front and Paths of Glory as a critique of the morality of war. Like them, it casts a jaundiced eye on the dishonesty and cynicism of governments, in this case, the duplicitous scapegoating by the... |

Small Soldiers from Dreamworks Skg Price: $13.49 Customer Review: Small Soldiers (1998) Small Soldiers is a little too flawed to get a perfect five star rating,but non the less,it's a really really good flick. The story is a little predictable,the characters severely lack development,some of the dialog is totally out of place,and the special effects are flawed... |

Shakes the Clown from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $19.96 Customer Review: I love DVD movies and for the longest time, the only reason I kept my laserdisc player was because I was afraid that "Shakes the Clown" would never come out on DVD. Let's face it; "Shakes the Clown" was an absolute flop in the theaters, and Bobcat Golthwait gambled his career on the movie, which... |

Withnail and I - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $23.96 Customer Review: This is either a 3-star or 5-star movie, depending on where you are coming from. One has to be somewhat familiar with the period to truly appreciate the backdrop, but all should recognize the quality of the performance. Set in London and the English countryside, the movie portrays a moment in the... |

The Endless Summer 2 - The Journey Continues from Monterey Home Video Price: $14.96 Customer Review: For those who wish to see another surf video based in the 60's, you should look elsewhere. Have no illusions, this is a modern-day "Endless Summer". Bruce Brown did a tremendous job putting together a surfing adventure which holds your interest from one end of the globe to the other. Balancing a... |

They meet at a writing class and Owen asks Larry why he didn't like his murder story. Larry says "There were only two characters, one of which is dead on page... |

Continental Divide from Universal Studios Price: $9.98 Customer Review: Maybe it's the fact that I used to watch cable television nearly every waking moment in the early 80's, but this is one of those classic movies I can never get enough of!

Diggstown from Mgm/Ua Studios Price: $13.46 Customer Review: Diggstown is one of the most satisfying movies of all time. Lou Gossett Jr. and James Woods are at their all time bests. Bruce Dern plays an excellent bad guy, and you truly wind up hating him by the end of the movie. This movie is witty, and the boxing scenes are done incredibly well, loaded with... |
