Average Rating:	Rosemary's Baby [1968] starring: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans directed by: Roman Polanski November 05, 2001		Used Price: Â£6.50
'Rosemary's Baby' is without doubt Roman Polanski's best movie. Still after fourty years this film scares me. Not in the kind of gruesome (torture-porn) kind of way that the Saw franchise do, but in a deeply psychological way, in the spirit of all the great twentieth century horror films. Rosemary (Mia Farrow) is the young married woman who's just moving into an upstate New York appartment block with her husband, actor Guy (John Cassavetes). The pair soon get to know their neighbours (mainly) Minnie Castevet & her husband Roman Castevet (Sidney Blackmer). Rosemary's baby is a very scary film, not gruesome (sometimes mildly explicit) but it has that claustrophobic eery feeling & after the first half of the film the feeling ...

Average Rating:	Planet Of The Apes [1968] starring: Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, James Whitmore directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner October 08, 2001		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.58 You Save: £10.41 (65%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.53
Astronauts are sent to a distant plane and crash. They find a barren wasteland and look for a place to survive. They fond more than the bargain for when the tables are turned and Apes rule the day. Will they make friends or be sliced and diced? Can the ever get back? What would you do? Now after that radical statement I know different media calls for different handling of the story. And most movies do not live up to the book. However some exceed the book. Surprise this is the "don't live up to the book" one. If you thought that the movie was insightful, surprising and shocking the first time you saw it. Then you defiantly have lower expectations than the reader does. Especially with such a botched ending; the ending ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The War Lord starring: Charlton Heston, Richard Boone, Rosemary Forsyth, Maurice Evans, Guy Stockwell directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner January 25, 2008		Used Price:
A really fine and resonant film. Brilliant historical detail and great acting by Heston, Guy Stockwell and Richard Boone. Rosemary Forsyth is lovely and plays a rather undeveloped part well. Set design, costume and action scenes are first class, script is a bit heavy-handed but a tremendously entertaining and rewarding film. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Countess Dracula: Special Edition [1970] [1971] starring: Ingrid Pitt, Nigel Green, Sandor ElÃ¨s, Maurice Denham, Patience Collier directed by: Peter Sasdy September 11, 2006		List Price: Â£14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £7.01 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This is a decent Hammer film which will maintain your interest for its relatively short length. The fact that it really has nothing to do with Dracula doesn't matter. Its reasonably well written and acted, although occasionally there were a few wooden moments. Whats most interesting is the levels of violence and sex in the film. Originally this would have been an X certificate for its nudity (several topless women). However in terms of violence there is virtually none, apart from one scene where we see the result of violence (a man who has been hanged). By todays standards its very tame indeed. However, thats not a bad thing, the story is sufficiently interesting that there doesn't need to be heads rolling all the time. Its an enjoyable ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Planet of the Apes -- 35th Anniversary Special Edition (2 discs) [1968] starring: Charlton Heston, Linda Harrison, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans directed by: Franklin J.

In recent years sci-fi have been filled with flashing lights, high-budget CGI effects and ridiculous stunts like in THE MATRIX and I, ROBOT. If you don't like one sci-fi film, you're unlikely to like any as they're all the same. However, my dad took down PLANET OF THE APES from our video shelf. Unlike most sci-fi films, it was made in a time that had to deal without CGI and relied completely on the break through movie make-up as well as providing what people have voted time and time again "The Greatest Film Ending". PLANET OF THE APES has a cast of the greatest, easy storyline and it keeps your attention even as the credits are rolling at the end. Based on Pierre Boulle's lesser novel (La PlanÃ¨te des singes AKA Monkey Planet) tells of an astronaut landing on a distant ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Beneath The Planet Of The Apes [1970] starring: James Franciscus, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, Linda Harrison, Paul Richards directed by: Ted Post August 22, 2005		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £8.02 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.49
"Beneath The Planet of the Apes" is an unusual and often strange sequel to the classic original. This film sees another time travelling astronaut from Earth called Brent crash land on the planet and suffer a similar ordeal to Charlton Heston's Taylor, namely getting captured by the apes and managing to escape from them into the Forbidden Zone. The apes in "Beneath" invade the Zone in an attempt to root out any surviving humans and to extend their control. Brent and the apes eventually encounter a bizarre mutated band of humans in a subterranean hide out who worship a primed atomic bomb. Will it explode, will the apes succeed with their invasion or will Brent,Taylor and Nova calmly ride off into the sunset ? "Beneath" is an adequate sequel to a seminal science fiction film and I found ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	A Caribbean Mystery [1983] starring: Helen Hayes, Barnard Hughes, Jameson Parker, Season Hubley, Swoosie Kurtz directed by: Robert Michael Lewis August 21, 2000		Used Price: Â£2.85
This is a decent movie and if there were nothing to compare it to, I would say a good adaptation from the book. I like all the actors. However this movie falls short of the one with Joan Hickson "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, V. 1: A Caribbean Mystery (1989) " They sped up the pace of the movie and it looks like a baby crawling at 60 miles an hr. Jane is more actively figuring out the plot and really needs no other characters to think. This movie does however introduce you to Jason Rafiel who is the basis of "Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, V. 7: Nemesis (1986) If you are rich buy them both, if not then this is the one. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Rosemary's Baby - Paramount Originals (includes Limited Edition reproduction film poster) [1968] starring: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans directed by: Roman Polanski July 23, 2007		Used Price:
Roman Polanski,s first American film released in 1968 is generally viewed as a horror film though if it is it's a horror film its one with no traditional horror elements in it. There is no blood , or bogeyman (Satan makes a blurry cameo appearance in that famous rape scene) or chases down corridors or really any of the machinations associated with horror. However it does deal explicitly with the horror of alienation , paranoia , fear and sheer hopelessness. In many ways these are ephemeral horrors more conducive to most of our life's than we would like to admit and therefore much more relevant. This DVD is part of a slew of re-issues fronted by Paramount (All with accompanying posters) and might just be the best of the bunch -though I am sure others would disagree virulently (On another ...

Average Rating:	Scrooge [1935] starring: Seymour Hicks, Donald Calthrop, Robert Cochran, Mary Glynne, Garry Marsh directed by: Henry Edwards November 22, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.97
What can I say. This is a movie that it does well to see for informations sake. However, comparing what I saw with what I read about on the Internet Movie DataBase I suspect this particular version has been edited. It's a good film for all that, and an interesting alternative to the other versions extant, with the Alistair Sim Scrooge of 1951 the standard all others are measured by. Incidentally Jacob Marley's Ghost doesn't appear here ... he's a voice only! Definately worth looking out if you can. >>More Details
