It could have been a great film. It had all it needed to be a masterpiece. It debunked the old traditional boring television of our great grand parents, that television that was speaking all the time in order to bring us the truth, to teach us the true truth, to make us believe every word they said was absolutely inspiring and we had to be thankful and grateful for this new medium to be so effective in teaching us, in lifting us out of our ignorance. They treated television as a super book, an encyclopedia and they had not understood the slightest smallest element of what this medium was. They had not read Marshall McLuhan and when they had heard of him they thought he was trite, insignificant and purely ranting and raving. And they were going ... Read More:

When Nat Cole's smooth, melancholy delivery sends "Rather Have the Blues Than What I've Got" out of Mike Hammer's car radio late one night, we know nothing good is going to happen. Hammer has just picked up a desperate young woman named Christina who had been running down an isolated California two-lane rode. "The room is dark and gloomy, you don't know what you're doing to me The way it has got me caught, I'd rather have the blues than what I've got." The lyrics might not be good, but Cloris Leachman's frightened urgency as Christina sets the movie on the fast track. It's not long before Hammer's car is forced off the road, he's beaten senseless, and wakes up on a bed listening to shrieks of pain as Christina, hanging ... Read More:

In many ways it is a great film. It is a film about justice and how crooked it is. Justice is not interested in truth but in respecting some procedures, some rules that only aim at protecting the powerful. The flaw in that system is not the judges who are unbreakable walls keeping the defense counselors of the victims in their place, which is in the margin of the case. The flaw is the jury when there is one and when this jury is not crooked, bought up, bribed or simply afraid. This jury has all powers they can dream of in their hands as for making justice and making the law, the common law of jurisprudence. But what can a jury be afraid of? Many things. In this film it is not the racial problem. It is not the social problem either. This case has to do with ... Read More:

4.Tora! Tora! Tora! [1970] starring: Martin Balsam, Sô Yamamura, Jason Robards, Joseph Cotten, Tatsuya Mihashi directed by: Kinji Fukasaku, Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda June 04, 2001

Tora! Tora! Tora! is a film concerned with the broad sweep of the attack on Pearl Harbour rather than select individuals. It is both detailed and accurate which gives it something many war films lack. However, it lacks pace and keeping up with the number of characters involved can be diffcult but overall it is a good film.

On Monday this was 8.99 and I put it in my basket. I wanted to pay today, Tuesday and saw that it had gone up to 17.99. Very trashy Amazon. Are you giving the extra to any of Mr Newman's charities?

7.The Bostonians [1984] starring: Christopher Reeve, Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Tandy, Madeleine Potter, Nancy Marchand directed by: James Ivory April 28, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.54
Set in 1875, this Merchant-Ivory film focuses on the post-Civil War intellectual community of Boston and Cambridge, bringing to life the suffragist movement, which passionately involved many of its women. Verena Tarrant (Madeleine Potter) is a beautiful and charming young woman who draws large, paying crowds to hear her speak about "the just revolution," which would free women from their second class status. Though Verena describes herself as "only a girl, a simple American girl," her strength as a speaker quickly brings her to the attention of Olive Chancellor (Vanessa Redgrave), an older woman whose dedication to the movement, and eventually to Verena, is single-minded and all-consuming. When Verena moves in with the overly protective Olive, Olive wants her ... Read More:

From the era when great acting and a great storyline were key, this is a classic. Good use of tension building, fabulous gritty acting, solid cinematography. You can't go wrong. Enjoy...

What a cracking film! I bought the BBC title of the same name and this appeared as a recommendation - I can only assume it's one of those American made-for-TV mini series as it's around 3 hours long but it's a bargain and a superb drama-documentary of this period in history; accurate too if you cross reference with other material on the same subject. The other reviewer mentions picture quality especially when watching on a hi-res monitor but this is on purpose and it was the first thing that impressed me - the way real footage (which I recognise from the 'World at War' and '2nd World War in Colour' series) is blended into the new dramatised footage; dust and scratches have been added so as a viewer you're never quite sure what's original and what's new. This seemless blending ... Read More:
