    Mississippi Burning

    Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe star in this well-intentioned and largely successful civil rights-era thriller. Mississippi Burning, using the real-life 1964 disappearance of three civil rights workers as its inspiration, tells the story of two FBI men (Hackman and Dafoe, entertainingly called "Hoover Boys" by the locals) who come in to try to solve the crime. Hackman is a former small-town Mississippi sheriff himself, while Dafoe is a by-the-numbers young hotshot. Yes, there is some tension between the two. The movie has an interesting fatalism, as all the FBI's best efforts incite more and more violence, which becomes disturbing--the film's message, perhaps inadvertently, seems to be that vigilantism is the only real way to get things done. The brilliant Frances McDormand, here early in her career, is not given enough to do but still does it well enough to have racked up an Oscar® nomination for Best Supporting Actress. (Hackman also received a nomination for Best Actor, and the film won an Academy Award for Cinematography). The story line of Mississippi Burning is ultimately unsatisfying--it is, after all, the story of white men coming in to rescue poor blacks--but it is beautifully shot and very watchable and features a terrific cast playing at the top of their games. --Ali Davis


    Starring: Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe, Director: Alan Parker Studio: MGM/UA Video Aspect ratio: 1.85 : 1

    Voomer Reviews:

    MattP-bgsu: It was a really good 4 star movie. Looked good, and Willem Dafoe was very good in it.

    Walter L.:
    4.5 Stars I've seen this movie a couple of times before and now on HD. The acting is supurb and the direction is very well done. HD transfer was good but the audio could use some improvement (specifically, center channel was kind of weak). Other than that, the only complain I had was the lack of OAR.

    TheTimm : 4 stars : First time I've seen it. Really enjoyed it, although it is one of those stories that kinda pisses ya off. Great acting, too. The sound, however, was rather..uh..uninspiring.

    Diggstown (1992, Action / Ad)

    For some reason, James Woods seldom does straight comedies, but this 1992 film comes close. Playing Gabriel Caine, a con man fresh out of jail, Woods teams up with aging prizefighter "Honey" Roy Palmer (Louis Gossett Jr.) to run a scam on the boss of Diggstown, John Gillon (Bruce Dern). The bet: that "Honey" Roy can defeat any 10 boxers that Gillon throws at him in 24 hours. A combination of scams and double-crosses ensues, in which Woods, at his motor-mouth best, spars wonderfully (verbally, of course) with both Dern and Gossett. Working with director Michael Ritchie, who thrives in a milieu that involves competition, Woods has fun in an underrated comedy-thriller. It's more The Sting than Raging Bull, and thankfully so. --Marshall Fine


    Starring: James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr. Director: Michael Ritchie Studio: Mgm/Ua Studios Aspect ratio 1.85 : 1

    Voomer Reviews:

    MattP-bgsu: It was the same 3 star movie I remember. Looked way better than it did on cable a few years ago when I first saw it.

    TheTimm : 3.5 stars : Nothing real surprising happening here, but that doesn't make it any less fun to watch! A good transfer and some thumpin' surround sound definitely make it worth your time. Good performances from James Wood (!) and Oliver Platt, not to mention an impossibly pretty 1992 version of Heather Graham.

    Europa Europa (1991)

    This wonderful film by Polish director Agnieszka Holland (Total Eclipse), based on an autobiography by Solomon Perel, concerns a Jewish-German boy who manages to conceal his identity from the Nazis and ends up a member of their Youth Party. An admirably full experience, the film is both black comedy and horror show, with the central character taking the full measure of everyone's perspective on the war and Nazi crimes. --Tom Keogh


    Starring: Marco Hofschneider, Salomon Perel Director: Agnieszka Holland Studio: MGM/UA Video

    Voomer Reviews:

    MattP-bgsu : It was a big surprise. 4 star because of a not so dramatic ending, but I'm a ww2 fan, and the holocost theme had me hooked.

    Sean Mota : I agree I give 4 stars. I saw this movie first when it played on Epics. I saw it once more when it played in Cinema. This is a classic. HD Transfer was quite excellent.

    TheTimm : 3.5 stars : Stumbled into this while channel-surfing and got hooked! Great story. Good PQ, too. Sound coulda been better.

    Gilda Live (1980)

    In 1979, Gilda Radner threw a sommerlong party and Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre. Share the fun as Gilda's Saturday Night Live alter-egos take on new comedy material not even the Not Ready for Prime Time Players were quite ready for. Among the many highlights: Emily Litella substituting for a Bedford-Stuyvesant teacher who's been the unfortunate victim of a "stubbing". Lisa Hoopner whining through "The Way We Were". Roseanne Roseannadanna grossing out grads at the Columbia School of Journalism. And joining in for even more hip happiness are several of Gilda's SNL cohorts. Paul Schaffer (Late Night with David Letterman) plays straight man and plays up a musical storm. Father Guido Sarducci, rock critic and gossip columnist for the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano, reveals the astonishing "Kennedy/Lincoln Coincidenza" and poses a new model for higher education: the five-minute university.


    Starring: Gilda Radner, Don Novello Director: Mike Nichols Studio: Warner Studios

    Voomer Reviews:

    MattP-bgsu : I'll only give a 2 star too. Surprisingly not as funny as I hoped it would be, given her SNL resume. Looked okay, it was stand up comedy in a high school gym so wasn't much too look at.

    cyuhnke : 1.5 stars Just not good. Watching everyone trying too hard to be funny and failing is embarrassing to watch.

    The Great Race (1965, Comedy)

    Director Blake Edwards, fresh from the success of the first two Pink Panther movies, indulged his love of classic slapstick comedy with this long free-for-all, which throws in everything but Laurel and Hardy's kitchen sink. The film reunites Some Like It Hot stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, ably aided by a spunky Natalie Wood. The subject is a New-York-to-Paris auto race in the early years of the 20th century, pitting the Great Leslie (Curtis), a goody-goody dressed all in white--even his teeth sparkle--against the malevolent Professor Fate (Lemmon), whose coal-black heart is reflected in his handlebar mustache. He looks like a bill collector from a silent- movie melodrama. Lemmon does double duty, also playing the pampered, drunken king of a small European country, whose laugh sounds like the wail of a cat in heat. The film may be too long for its own good, and you really have to love Jack Lemmon to put up with his over-the-top performance, but it's side-splitting in spots. It's one of those movies, if seen in childhood, that stays in your mind for years afterward. Some of the bigger routines, such as a pie fight of epic proportions, don't work as well as the simple chemistry between the perpetually exasperated Professor Fate and his much-abused assistant, Max (a terrific Peter Falk).


    Starring: Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis Director: Blake Edwards Studio: Warner Home Video Aspect ratio 2.35 : 1

    Voomer Reviews:

    MattP-bgsu : It was very funny movie. I'd give it a 4 star rating. I had heard of it's slapstick comedy, but didn't expect a movie that old to be that funny.

    Odys : 4 stars. I've loved this movie since I was a kid. Still very funny. It was the first time my wife had seen it and she loved it. Surprisingly good picture quality considering it's age.

    The Music Man (1962)

    The Music Man was one of the last great movie musicals from any studio, and it proved to be that rarest of events: a Broadway show that was measurably improved by its transition to the screen. Robert Preston made his musical debut--both live and on film--as "Professor" Harold Hill, the upbeat charlatan who promises to teach a small-town boys band by the "think system." But it's the part Preston was born to play and the one for which he will always be best remembered. Composer Meredith Willson based The Music Man on his own small-town Midwestern boyhood, circa 1912, a quasi-mythical place where the old-maid librarian looks and sings like Shirley Jones. The boy himself is an adorable Ron Howard, lisp-singing "Gary, Indiana." Willson's entire score, featuring a combination of what are now standards, such as "Goodnight My Someone" and "Till There Was You" and show-specific numbers ("Trouble," "76 Trombones"), is never less than infectious.


    Starring: Robert Preston, Shirley Jones Director: Morton DaCosta Studio: Warner Studios Aspect ratio 2.20 : 1 (negative ratio) 2.35 : 1 (35 mm prints)

    Voomer Reviews:

    DarrellP : I give it 5 stars but since Voom did not show it OAR, I'll knock it down to 4 stars on Voom (HDNET showed it in OAR and it was fabulous). I'd like to see Willy Wonka in HD OAR.

    Coup de Torchon (1981, Comedy)

    Bertrand Tavernier tranforms Jim Thompson's pulp novel Pop. 1280 into an engrossing and unsettling meditation on moral collapse. Arguably his best thriller, the French director transposes the story from the American South of the 1910s to colonial West Africa of the 1930s, where the very first black slaves entered the New World. Philippe Noiret plays a bumbling police chief who's the butt of ridicule in the corrupt town, with an abusive wife (Isabelle Huppert) who cheats on him and laughs in his face. But Noiret reaches a point of quiet madness, slowly getting his revenge by going on a killing spree. The subdued actor is at his best here, adopting a goofy attitude that works to his benefit when no one suspects him of the diabolical murders. A great subversive film enhanced by Philippe Sarde's jazzy score and wild camera movements intended to be out of sync with the action. --Bill Desowitz

    The Vanishing (1988, Mystery)

    When a young Dutchman discovers that his girlfriend has gone missing during their return to Holland from a bicycling trip in France, he begins a three-year search that forms the basis of this unsettling psychological thriller from 1988, originally titled Spoorloos. The missing woman's whereabouts remain a mystery, but the film provides an early introduction to her abductor, a seemingly normal family man whose domestic tranquility hides a meticulous, methodical madness. As the despondent husband advertises all over France and Holland for his missing wife, this game of cat-and-mouse escalates into a strategy of psychological horror, revealing certain facts and merely suggesting others to create an intense atmosphere of dread and anticipation. A film that Alfred Hitchcock would certainly have admired, The Vanishing leads to an unforgettable conclusion that's sure to send chills down your spine.

    Voomer Reviews:

    Odys : 5 stars (This Dutch original is so much better than the lame American remake. Why does Hollywood keep doing this?)

    Sean Mota: 5 Stars. The story of a young couple. His girlfriend is kidnapped and killed by a guy who lives two entirely different lives. He kills because he considers it an art. I love this movie it show how sick a person can be. The kinapper explains how he came to the conclusion that events in live are random and that sometimes what is planned is not the best. This was, of course, all in his mind trying to rationalize why he would kill (sick). This is a must see. I will give 5 stars if it was shown in OAR but 4 for now. HD transfer was excellent.

    barth2k : 4 stars. Most "psychological thrillers" aren't very psychological or thrilling. This Dutch film is both. About an ordicnary looking man with a family who is also a serial killer. Early in the movie, he kidnaps a young woman on a vacation with her husband. The rest of the movie follows her husband's quest to find her. Inevitably, the killer and husband meet and the ending will give you the creeps.

    A Clockwork Orange (1972)

    Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary. We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it. --Bryan Reesman


    Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee Director: Stanley Kubrick Studio: Warner Studios Aspect Ratio: 1.33 : 1 (negative ratio) 1.66 : 1 (intended ratio)



    Voomer Reviews:

    Odys : 3 stars (This is a 5 star movie but I was very disapponted in the PQ on this one. It was very grainy. I remember it being a visual treat in the theaters.)

    Ilya : (5-star) A masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick. I agree with Odys that the transfer quality was not impressive, but still, I think it would be unjust to give this movie anything less than 5 stars!

    TheTimm : Also was able to catch a few minutes of A Clockwork Orange, a great movie, but it looked like crap.
