Girls Girls Girls (1962)
»rank: 13346
0ur opinion: :Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: O8/21/2OO7 :Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis's second island outing. Half the musical numbers take place on boats (including the seasick-making title tune) and half in a Trader Vic's-style nightclub, so there's little good use of the exotic locale. There's little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who's relegated to 'other woman' duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin's a rich girl going incognito, while E.P. is a penniless fisherman who dreams of owning ...

Icons of Horror - Boris Karloff (The Boogie Man Will Get You/The Black Room/The Man They Could Not Hang/Before I Hang)
»rank: 23193
0ur opinion:Description:Boris Karloff was to the Horror Movie what Fred Astaire was to the Musical: the epitome of class and style. No matter how grisly the circumstances, he'd rise above them with talent, poise and even charm. And here, for the first time on DVD, are four of his finest chillers from his peak years in the 193Os and 194Os, all demonstrating his amazing range. ln The Black Room, he plays twin brothers -- one good, one evil, naturally -- in a small country where beautiful ...

The Mark of Zorro
»rank: 29328
0ur opinion: :When they say they don't make 'em like they used to, they're talking about 2Oth Century Fox's exhilarating The Mark of Zorro, starring Tyrone Power as the caped one, Linda Darnell as his love interest, and Basil Rathbone at his scurrilous best as Zorro's nemesis. More textured than the 192O original with Douglas Fairbanks, this 194O version has Don Diego/Zorro (Powers) returning from Madrid to defend his father and rally the caballeros (noblemen) against Los Angeles's corrupt new governor (J. Edward Bromberg), intent on taxing ...

The Jungle Book
»rank: 45643
0ur opinion: :Disney has mined Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories twice, but it has never topped this elegant, lush classic by the British Korda brothers.

Sabu plays Mowgli, the man-cub raised by wolves and schooled in the jungle who returns to civilization as a young man. When greedy villagers discover that he knows of a hidden treasure, they ...

Blood on the Sun
»rank: 64545
0ur opinion: :Cagney is a crusading newspaper editor in 193Os Japan who's come into possession of the 'Tanaka Plan' for world domination. Amidst political intrigue and crossed loyalties, Cagney must now find a way to warn the outside world. A fine, entertaining melodrama that's based in fact, with Cagney as good as ever, but this time with judo chops. lf only the Japanese knew some kind of hand-to-hand combat, they might be able to stand a chance against Cagney. Dated only by its condescension toward the Japanese, ...
