VHS : For All Mankind: A Unique Space Adventure
I had great expectations of this film, having followed the Apollo programme since Apollo 8 right up until the end.

It turned out to be a bit of a disappointment though, as on many, many occasions throughout the film, what you were seeing had absolutely no connection whatsoever with what you were hearing! The producers just seem to have taken random soundbites and dropped them for no apparent reason.

Yes, there is some brilliant footage in this film, but the overall experience is damaged, in my opinion, beyond repair, by the innaccuracies - something you would not expect in any credible documentary.

Brian Eno's music soundtrack is brilliant though and adds to the visuals and the atmosphere.

3.Where The Sidewalk Ends [1950] starring: Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Gary Merrill, Bert Freed, Tom Tully

VHS : Where The Sidewalk Ends [1950]
From the fantastic opening sequence in which the credits are scrawled graffiti-style on the sidewalk and the camera closes in on filthy rainwater rushing down the gutter, this movie employs a series of interesting and offbeat visual, structural and sonic devices to explore its themes of fate and corruption and to keep the viewer constantly surprised and challenged. Preminger's refusal to emotionally signpost the narrative with an intrusive musical score allows the crackling of police radios, the rattling of subway trains and the ambient traffic noise to form a kind of realistic soundtrack to the film. Absence of musical pointers also intensifes the moral ambiguity of the protagonist's actions. Long scenes (such as the beautifully taut sequence filmed beneath ... Read More:

VHS : The Angry Red Planet
Do not forget that with all of our sophisticated stuff, no one has gone to Mars yet. The year 1959 low budget and high hopes. The greatest threat to earth is a One Eyed, One Horned, Flying, Purple People Eater. And that sure seems strange to me.
However a ship Rocket M-1 was sent to Mars. On its return it must be guided by ground control. Only two survivors. One with a nasty growth and the other Dr. Iris 'Irish' Ryan (with angry red hair.) Now get out your popcorn and hear her tail of what happened on "The Angry Red Planet"

This is a warning to us all.

VHS : American Gigolo [1980]
This is a highly watchable 80's romantic melodrama where the usual boy-girl relationship gets involved but Set against a military training environment. The acting performances from a great cast in this movie is what makes this movie what it is, a classic. And the movie is one of those that keeps you watching until the end. A subplot is included to add to the movies goodness and together this makes for a great all time classic movie.

The main character in American Gigolo plays a role that is of average performance and the movie is one that starts lively at the beggining and then dies down. The storyline is balanced out rather well and the movie is one that keeps you watching but this isn't as good as An Officer and a Gentleman. There is a lot of good ... Read More:
