This has been consistantly my favourite film for a long time. I don't know why? I have watched it six or seven times, always enjoying it, the story is pacey, there's humour, action, and loads more. Banderas shouldn't fit but does and gives, for me, his best performance in a film. Buy with confidence, fills loads of genres, action, adventure, fantasy, heroic fantasy, etc etc. Enjoy.

Coma [1978] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
BASED ON THE BOOK BY ROBIN COOK, THIS IS ONE OF THE LATE MICHAEL CRICHTON'S BEST FILM EFFORTS. GENEVIEVE BUJOLD PLAYS A RESIDENT DOCTOR WHO BECOMES CURIOUS ABOUT CERTAIN PATIENTS GOING INTO A STATE OF COMA, PARTICULARLY FROM O.R.8 (OPERATING THEATRE 8). MICHAEL DOUGLAS, ALSO A RESIDENT AT THE SAME HOSPITAL, DISBELIEVES HER AT FIRST BUT STEP BY STEP SLOWLY GETS CONVINCED THAT SHE IS RIGHT. BOND BEAUTY, LOIS CHILES, FROM MOONRAKER, PLAYS BUJOLD'S CLOSE FRIEND, WHO GOES INTO COMA, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM. THE SUSPENCE IS TERRIFIC. YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE SCARED. THE DVD QUALITY IS SUPERB. YOU CAN SEE IT EITHER FULL SCREEN OR LETTERBOXED. YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO TURN THE DVD OVER. ELIZABETH ASHLEY IS THE SPOOKY ... Read More:

DVD : The First Great Train Robbery [1978]
To the reviewer 'nomad1888' who bizarrely claims that there was no great train robbery in 1885! Of course there was, It was very real and very famous. Why you never bothered to confirm this on the internet you obviously have access to, before putting foot in mouth, i have no idea.? Apart from a few minor differences especially at the end the film is historically quite accurate. Great performances all round, especially showing the painstaking detail that was gone into. The judge at the trial even took a liking to Edward Agar, stating that he wished that the man had put his obvious genius into honest endevour, as he would still have made a fortune in any business he went into.

Physical Evidence is one of those films that you want to like but really should be a lot better than it actually is. Developed as a sequel to Jagged Edge for Glenn Close and Robert Loggia, it gives the impression that all involved only made it while they were waiting for something better to come along. The premise is perfectly serviceable, it's mostly technically efficient if horribly uninspired with even Henry Mancini's musacky score surprisingly pleasant, but you can't help feeling that things would have turned out better if one of the leads had turned out to be the killer (as is rumoured was originally the case). As the opening scene of his little-seen, personally disastrous Heat (1986) showed, Reynolds has all the makings of a great screen villain. ... Read More:
