.Yankee Doodle Dandy City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning directed by: Michael Curtiz April 06, 1999 I saw this movie for the first time last night w/ my father. He wanted me to see this movie to see the contrast of what people were like in the 40's-50's and how society is today. I'm 23 years old and to be honest with you, I thought that I wouldn't like this movie. As it turns out, I greatly enjoyed it. It was a wonderful story, full of patriotism - it just makes you proud to be in this country. What movies are out that are like this today? None. And that makes me incredibly sad to see such anti-Americanism. For what? If you want to see a movie that puts a fire in your belly and gets your spirit going, go see this movie - you will not be disappointed! >>See More Reviews & Details on Yankee Doodle Dandy |

.American Pop City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: Beatrice Colen, Roz Kelly, Lynda Wiesmeier, Richard Singer, Vincent Schiavelli directed by: Ralph Bakshi May 01, 2001 Sure the animation is interesting for a few minutes (if you are interested in rotoscoping see Waking Life) but the story and writing are horrible and bordem sets in within ten minutes. You will hang in for a bit waiting for somthing to happen but it won't so don't bother with this movie, it's painful to sit through (and I love rotoscoping). >>See More Reviews & Details on American Pop |

.Xanadu City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly, Michael Beck, James Sloyan, Dimitra Arliss directed by: Robert Greenwald September 11, 2001 After taking much abuse during it's 80's theatrical release and being largely ignored in the 90's it has taken a smash hit broadway musical to help this film get the attention it deserves. Despite having a positively goofy storyline (Zeus' daughter inspires an artist to open a roller disco) this film is purely entertaining and guaranteed to raise a smile in even the most jaded of viewers. Olivia Newton-John just radiates joy throughout the movie and screen legend Gene Kelly just seems to be having a grand old time whether hoofing it with ONJ or roller skating at the completed Xanadu. Sure Michael Beck seems a little stiff but it no way hurts the flick. This recent DVD features the original trailer (which admittedly was not very good and ...

.Music Man, the City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford directed by: Morton DaCosta May 06, 2003 I love this movie. As silly as it is -- a goofy plot, absurd over-the-top characters, the wacky "think system" -- it is just a whole lot of fun. Robert Preston sparkles as the fly-by-night con artist/salesman who just happens this time to get his foot caught in the door, and who better to catch that foot than Shirley Jones, who is as beautiful and talented a leading lady as has ever graced a big screen musical. Ron Howard is as funny as a kid can be in the movies, and the music will stay with you long after the movie is over. The film also has a great cast of supporting character actors and comedians, not to mention the fabulous Buffalo Bills. I love the anvil salesman character (THAT'S a great line of merchandise for a traveling salesman!), and ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Music Man, the |

.In the Good Old Summertime City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts April 01, 1992 Despite this charming film's misleading title the majority of the story takes place in winter in the lead up to the Christmas season. It does however feature one of Judy Garland's best later performances made in an all to rare trauma free moment in the late 1940's for this legendary actress/singer when her health problems were affecting her ability to perform before the camera. Amazingly none of that is evident in "In the Good Old Summertime", which finds her delivering a wonderfully controlled and at times wistful performance as a young employee of a music store in turn of the century Chicago who is having a romantic letter correspondance with a penpal who addresses himself simply as "dear friend". Given its setting of a music shop "In the Good Old Summertime", also offers Judy ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on In the Good Old Summertime |

.Yellow Submarine Cial Edition) City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul Angelis directed by: George Dunning (II) April 01, 2003 In my case that was 1969. That's when I saw this in a double billing with Barbarella (1968) at West Point, NY. The music is great and it brings back a part of history. Can the Beatles save Pepperland? Remember we all live in a Yellow Submarine. Instead of just buying the soundtrack, buy the movie and you have them both. I guess I will have to buy it also to hear "Hey, Bulldog!" Of course as with most movies there will always be someone one that prefers the original and knows that it was cut that way on purpose. And now it is time for a whole new generation to enjoy. >>See More Reviews & Details on Yellow Submarine Cial Edition) |

.Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould City Travel Guides > VHS > Musicals and Performing Arts starring: Colm Feore, Derek Keurvorst, Katya Ladan, Devon Anderson, Joshua Greenblatt directed by: François Girard January 28, 1998 What an interesting collection of meditations on the stupefying musicality of Glen Gould. This pianist is from another planet. Classical music has never been so exciting to a rock n' roll fan. >>See More Reviews & Details on Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould |
