Even playing them off of one another for his own enjoyment. In the end, Johnny becomes the ringmaster and auteur for his three-ring circus of the dysfunctional. Bizarre but compelling, Johnny keeps you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

Audio/Video:

The audio is a bland DD2.0 that does not support the film at all. The dialogue is easily understood however the audio itself is not engaging in the least. A director's commentary is included that chronicles the filmmaking process and turns into a "...Read the entire review

Audio/Video:

The audio for UFO unlike Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet has not been remixed/remastered for DD5.1 sound. The original Mono platform is presented and, surprisingly enough, the presentation is wonderful. The dialog is all easily understood. The first episode of this 13-episode collectio...Read the entire review

LAURYN HILL UNPLUGGED 2.0

Synopsis:

MTV Unplugged is one of the better ideas hatched at Music TeleVision. The idea of getting up close and personal with your favorite musical personalities in an acoustic environment is a refreshing entry in an all too stagnant music pool. This is not Lauryn Hill of the Fugees or the Lauryn hill of the Sister Act films. This is not even the Lauryn Hill of the 12x-platinum,multi-grammy winning CD the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. This is Lauryn Hill stripped bare to her most simplistic elements presenting her soul for all to hear. Lauryn Hill Unplugged 2.0 is a very personal set of 13 gritty songs that speak to the reality of life without all the clicks and whistles. These songs are not lilting Top Fourty hits that are going to get a lot of airplay (if any). They are songs that play like the soundtracks of our lives.

THE VISIT

Imprisoned for rape and dying of AIDS, Alex (Hill Harper) is trying to spend his last months and days reconciling himself with his family; the "perfect" brother and the "judgmental " father. Throughout the movie, Alex maintains his innocence but that hardly seems the point of the film. Regardless of whether he's guilty or not, it is apparent that Alex is in need of a change, a change from without and within. Truly Alex is a prisoner, not only physically, but mentally as well. His visits with his parents and his brother are cathartic on both sides. These visits are where we are introduced to the elements that helped propel Alex into the world he now inhabits. His father (Billy Dee Williams) is a harsh and rough-edged man that feels the only way to communicate with Alex is by constantly bringing up past mistakes by comparing Alex's failures to his brother's successes.

BENNY HILL'S GOLDEN GREATS

Synopsis:

When it comes to Tongue-in-cheek humor, Benny Hill is the first name that comes to mind. My introduction to Benny Hill "101" came by way of PBS. "Yes, Prime Minister", "The Goodies", "Are You Being Served?", "Keeping up with Appearances", "Butterflies Are Free" and "Benny Hill" were all staples of the British comedy wave that took America's Public Broadcasting Stations by storm in the mid seventies. Edgier, and definitely far more liberal in the nudity and "blue" language and innuendo departments, these "Brit" comedies were/are a welcome change from the traditional American fare. In the two discs of this collection, six hours of the "best" of Benny Hill have been assembled. Including a 50-minute documentary on the man himself entitled, "Benny Hill, The World's Favorite Clown". In describing Benny's Humor for the uninitiated, I'd have to say that...Read the entire review

Dracula, has there ever been a name that exacted more fear and terror?! In 1931 Universal Studios released the hugely successful film, Dracula. Featuring none other than the captivatingly beautiful yet haunting performance of the screen's first "Dracula", Bela Lugosi. Due to the tremendous success of that film, Universal sought to re-create the same experience by creating a sequel. What they came up with was Dracula's Daughter in 1936 and her sibling Son of Dracula in 1943. Quite frankly, that Dracula even had children was a bit of a surprise however, their cinematic entries while very different in approach, are both first-class efforts. Now come with me to the land where the vampire and werewolf are real and the Frankenstein monster still roams the countryside. (cue: creaking door opening and sinister laugh!)

SON OF FRANKENSTEIN/GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN

The Mummy saw four additional entries, Dracula saw the birth of his "children", The Wolfman had a whole series to himself it seemed and Frankenstein met not only his "Bride" but his "Son" and indeed his "Ghost" as well. Not too mention the double dipping of the Wolfman and Frankenstein in the first and only "Monster meets Monster" category. In Son Of Frankenstein, 75 years have passed since the "death" of the monster.

THEATER OF BLOOD

Synopsis:

Edward Lionheart is a seasoned veteran of the stage. His devotion to the works of Shakespeare is legendary. Much like the ornate and elaborate productions he presents, Lionheart puts his all into every role he has ever played and creates a realism and depth not seen since The Bard himself put these words to paper. In what was sure to be his crowning glory, Lionheart put together a production of the collected works of Shakespeare that should have garnered him the coveted "Critics Circle Choice Award". Unfortunately, all he received was tremendous embarrassment at the hands rather, words of this band of critics. Scathing would be too nice a term applied to the venom they spewed regarding his acting and interpretation of these collected works. To further add to his mortification, they selected a young and unpolished actor to receive the prize as opposed to givin...Read the entire review

In 1931 Universal studios House of Horror brought to life one of the screen's most enduring horror icons- The Mummy. Boris Karloff's portrayal of the long dead nobleman sent shockwaves throughout the industry and became a bonafide blockbuster for its time.

The Mummy's Ghost

Let's recap shall we. When we left The Mummy and Mehemet at the close of The Mummy's Tomb, The Mummy was "destroyed" and Mehemet came to a well-earned end. Prior to Mehemet coming to America, he received his charge from the High Priest of the Temple of Karnak who died as soon as he conveyed the change in power. Somehow, that then-dead high priest shows up again in the very beginning of the Mummy's Ghost, which is Chapter three in this four-story tale of the Mummy. Evidently, Karnak "Whose strength could shatter the world" was not a strong enough god in the previous two entries and has been replaced by the god Arcam. Andoheb whose arm was shattered when he was shot and then broke his neck falling down the temple steps-and who later died, is now alive and has called another priest to take over where Mehemet left off. This time it's Yousef Bey (John Carradine) (maybe mehm...Read the entire review

Boris Karloff stars with Nick Adams in this terrific/horrific mad-scientist-gone-ultra-mad film!
