Silkwood

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell, Cher, Craig T. Nelson, Diana Scarwid
directed by: Mike Nichols

December 15, 1998
Silkwood was fantastic. Streep's performance of Karen Silkwood accompanied by Russell was supurb. This film was thought provoking whilst tear jerking in its realism of capitalism over-riding human natures passion for a better world.
And how can you forget the films rendition of "Amazing Grace".

Mary and Joseph:Story of Faith

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Tuvia Tavi, Liron Nirgad, Stephen McHattie, Murray Matheson, Jeff East
directed by: Eric Till

September 29, 1998
I first saw this movie on television when I was a child. The story of the birth of Christ having always been my favorite in the Bible, I was thrilled to see it acted out. This movie gives you a 'what might have been' view of the lives of Mary and Joseph, something that the bible failed to give. Mary and Joseph where a young couple deeply in love, but the discovery of Mary's pregnency, plus Joseph's involvment with the Zelot's, almost drove them apart. We also get a look into the lives of Elizabeth and Zacarias, the parents of St. John. This movie give a completely human view of all characters in what is the most famous story in history.

Operation Pacific

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: John Wayne, Patricia Neal, Ward Bond, Scott Forbes (II), Philip Carey
directed by: George Waggner

April 28, 1998
Since I grew up with this movie, I have seen it at least 30 times. This is one of the best Submarine Movies of WW-II action made. And not everyone knows this but this movie did deal with some truth. When the skipper is shot by a "Q" ship in a surface attack, he uses the command "Take Her Down" which was in actuality used by the CO of the USS Growler, after being critically wounded in action in 1942. And the torpedo trouble in the movie was also true and they did drop warheads from on high to test out various firing options. One submarine mentioned in the Movie was the Corvina, which really was a USN Sub, and she was suck by a Japanese Submarine like the movie portrays. Unlike other Sub Movies, this one has a lot of truth in it and is an excellent ... Read More:

Mumfie-the Movie

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
from: Paramount Home Video

July 17, 2001
My daughter and I have watched this video many times
and are delighted every time. It's so wonderful to
watch something today that actually promotes goodness
and kindness. Mumfie is a lovely character who
collects friends wherever he goes.. And also gets
into many misadventures inspite of his goodness.
It's a long film and worth every second. I
highly recommend and I am a video distributor and
have seem zillions of films...But this is one of my
favorite family/childrens films.

Nadia

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Conchata Ferrell, Johann Carlo, Joe Bennett (III), Carrie Snodgress, Jonathan Banks
directed by: Alan Cooke

November 21, 2000
I saw a small part of this movie on the Internet, and from what I saw, it was pretty good. I just wish I could see the whole movie!

The gymnastic sequences were very well done, although some of the editing was pretty bad.

If you can get your hands on this movie, than I think you should see it, because it deserves to be seen.

Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Paul Newman, Joel Grey, Kevin McCarthy, Harvey Keitel, Allan F. Nicholls
directed by: Robert Altman

September 01, 1998
This is a quirky take on white/native relations in the late 19th/early 20th century, a mad mix of historical fact and whimsical fiction. Newman is masterful as the addled demagogue into which Buffalo Bill has morphed. I recommend this film for students enrolled in our college's AMERICAN WEST class; it is provocative fodder for good discussion, good writing on alternative views of history.

Robert Altman fans will recognize stock characters from his other films, but will be entertained (perhaps delighted) throughout.

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: John Huston, Paul Newman, Roy Jenson, Gary Combs, Fred Brookfield
directed by: John Huston

August 02, 1993
The 60's and early 70's produced several great comedic westerns i.e. Cheyenne Social Club, Dirty Dingus Magee, McClintock, Great Scout, The Rounders, Evil Roy Slade, Support Your Local, etc. The list goes on and on. Those movies were all great, but pretty much one dimensional and set the tone for some collective disappointment over the content of Judge Roy Bean.

There are some great hilarious moments in this film but I never really got it until recently. It's actually a love story above all else, and a comedy, as well as John Huston's own statement about the retreating old west. If you view it in that context you'll be very impressed. If you're looking for pure comedy you may find that it drags in moments. However, this is the last time you'll get to see ... Read More:
