VHS : Stephen King's The Stand - Parts 1 and 2 [1994]
The Stand is a strange 'film' to review. It is, after all, a 6-hour mini-series split in the middle by a large time gap. Whilst this allows for deeper characterisation and plot development, it also means a smaller budget, B-list actors and cheesy acting. My God, is there cheesy acting. It is still my belief that Molly Ringwald had her eyes on all of the Razzie 'awards'.
The 'film' gets under way in spectacular fashion, with one of the greatest intro sequences / music cues ever, with Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear (The Reaper)' playing against the backdrop of an underground facility full of corpses. However, after the intro has finished, things take a brief downturn. ALL the supporting actors set new standards in wooden acting (check out ... Read More:

Used Price: £1.70

While some people find Spike Lee's filmic style a little too "in your face" at time, it is impossible to deny that he has extraordinary talent as both screenwriter and director after watching his best movie, Do The Right Thing (1989). With its cast completely on form, each person gives an electrifying performance, directing that enables us to empathise with every character and brillinatly juxtaposes ultra realism with surrealism, and a script that is both halarious and though provoking, Do The Right Thing is a brilliant movie, both entertaining and thought provoking, that should be viewed by everyone. Featuring on many top 100 film polls, Do The Right Thing is without a doubt one of the best movies of the 1980s and one of the best new york movies ever ... Read More:

VHS : The Hill [1965]
This is a film that works on many levels. Psychologists and philosopher's could talk about those while others might just like the sturdy plot and witty script. It rates as one of the best films I've seen. It is an oddity surely that I have got to this age and can never remember having seen it referred to anywhere in a film poll or otherwise. How can this be? It's brilliant and it's sad. Which character in the film are you?

VHS : Joe Versus the Volcano [1990]
One of the 6 films I'm taking to the desert island.

This is one of those films that operate on many levels at the same time. On the surface - this film is a light-comedy, but below the surface it's a metaphorical existentialist masterpiece. If you like that sort of thing - you'll love this film as much as I do!

A faithful adaptation of the novel. Jones and Sarandon are excellent. Sometimes the diction could have been clearer.
