A Great show with a limited run
GIDGET is one of my all-time favorite shows, even though it only ran for 1 season. What a shame. The show combined humor with drama and discovered the talent today known as Sally Field. Never has a sitcom been able to make me laugh and cry so hard.

There are 3 episodes on this video. The first episode is the pilot where Gidget's sister Anne reads her diary to discover that her little sister may not be so innocnet after all. Tear-jerking ending.

In the second episode, Gidget is reluctantly being sent to Paris for school because her sister and broher-in-law think that her dad is too dependent on her. Hilarious episode. Another tear-jerker.

In the third episode on this video, GIdget falls in love with a surfer...again.

I love Gidget and you will too!

A Great Retro Comedy
Sally Field plays Gidget in one of two sitcoms based around Fred Kohner's real life daughter and her adventures.

Here's something you probably don't know-When Sally Field was doing her sitcom,'The Flying Nun',they occasionally used footage from her 'Gidget' days when exploring the background of her character on several episodes.

Anyways,Sally is adorable,and fans of both the 'Gidget' movies and the 'Flying Nun' TV Show should all buy the two videos in this set.

I only got this video for Pete Duel's appearence
But he's not in it enough. Over all this isn't bad for a Gidget show, and the little Pete's in it he's wonderful. ... Read more

What fun! Surf's up...
The first "Gidget" movie is alot of fun to watch: not only is there surfing (okay,alot of it is fake) but the fact that there's a girl in it, "a girl, a midget, a Gidget", is fantastic...

Surfing is still a very male dominate sport and it shouldn't be.

The first "Gidget" movie is, in my opinion, a classic!

Hilarious misunderstandings on these Gidget episodes
3 episodes of Sally Field's short-lived but critically-acclaimed sitcom.

In the first episode, Gidget gives Larue a makeover but Gidget's dad is the one who's attracted, or so eveyone thinks. Hilarious farce comedy!

In the second episode, Richard Dreyfuss makes an appearance as a high school nerd who's confidence is boosted by Gidget only to have him dump her before she can sympathetically dump him.

In the third (and the best of the 3) episode, Gidget meets with Jeff's parents but misunderstandings occur. I won't tell you anymore. You'll have to watch it and laugh your head off for yourself.

Great episodes. Great acting. Great show. Great purchase...if you buy it.

Brings back old memories with a smile
These were cute TV shows. I enjoy Sally Field as Gidget. This is a good video to watch when there's nothing else to do, and you don't want to be bogged down with a full-length movie.

Older movies best to watch.
The three Gidget videos are the favorites in our house. Great cast, Sally Field, Don Porter and even has Peter Duel in some of the shows. I sincerely hope the trend goes back to the older sitcoms when comedy was funny and original. We hope Columbia Tristar brings out the rest of the series on video. It is great viewing for the whole family.

A great set!
I loved this show as a teenager, and this set of videos was so much fun to watch! I just hope they put the rest of the episodes on video, since no cable channels have picked it up. ... Read more

This made-for-TV pilot of the short-lived series is a decent screen interpretation of the DC Comics hero. While investigating a case involving a dangerous street gang called the Dark Riders, crime lab specialist Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp) is involved in a freak accident. One stormy night, lightning strikes his lab, electrifying his body and shattering chemical-filled beakers all over him. The ensuing reaction radically alters his physiology, bestowing him with the power to race at superhuman speed. Baffled by his transmutation, he follows the guidance of scientist Christina McGee (Amanda Pays) to comprehend his new physiology. After the nihilistic Riders murder one of his family members, Allen utilizes his new power to seek vengeance against them. Even though this TV movie has many of the exaggerated comic-book scenarios and average acting of other superhero films, The Flash is fun because of Shipp's charming, vulnerable protagonist and Pays's feisty, brilliant scientist. The effects are pretty good, too. --Bryan Reesman ... Read more

Good Superhero Movie
Even though he wasn't a well-know hero to the general public, The Flash was given his own show none the less. It wasn't that bad either. Good special effects, a Danny Elfman score, and notable names make this 2 hour pilot interesting. I used to watch the show when I was a kid and loved it. Some episodes were good, and some bad. Still, it was interesting enough to hold my attention. Still, it would have been nice if the show was kept up to date with the comics, being that Wally West was (and still is) the current Flash at the time. Unlike big Hollywood productions, there weren't as many changes to the character. One characteristic I thought was funny was that everytime he was through running, he would have to eat 10,000 TV dinners or pizzas to keep his energy in check. In the show, I would've liked to have seen a relationship develop between Barry and Tina. They always came close, but never did. Let me end off on one little piece of trivia: Years ago when this show was on, I read an insider trade magazine that stated the show was given a renewed fall season, but CBS changed their minds at the last minute. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.

Great Movie--Especially for comic book buffs
This is the first episode of one of my favorite TV series. It came out after the highly successful first Batman movie, which you can tell some of the similarities between the 2 (like the flash symbol against the backdrop of the moon). This is one television show I wish they would at least bring back in reruns, I never got to see all the episodes and would like to add them to my video collection. Anyway, if you liked the first Batman movie better than the rest, or are looking for a good adaptation of a comic book hero, you want to get this movie!

This Show Rules
I remember when this show first came out. I didnt think it would be any good, but i was wrong. The pilot kinda starts out a little slow but it builds up really well, and lets u get to know the caracters. The main thing is the costume...its a really good looking costume and not one of them cheap costumes that doesnt even look like the carachter. The theme music is really good as well, Danny Elfman does the theme and is really good. This show should have gone on longer than just one season.
Thanks for listenin....

Flash is the king
This movie is the best super hero movie ever

The best superhero ever!
The Flash is one of my favorite heroes. The movie is a fantastic adaptation of the comics. John Wesley Shipp plays the Flash perfectly. The movie has a great story. And who can forget the amazing theme song by Danny Elfman? If you are a fan of the Flash, superheroes in general, or even just action, there is no reason why you shouldn't see this great movie.
So what are you waiting for? BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

captivating
I found the movie very interesting. Movies never follow the book to a tee. The actors and actresses were superb. I enjoyed each and every one of the characters(no problem with nicollette). Jackie comes through once again. I recommend it. It leaves you yearning for more.

worth the time!
A very nice movie,with a splendid cast (although there were some exeptions!).
The story itself is offcourse classic and appealing.
It provides some 4 hrs of intertainment witch may seem long,but the movie is surtanly worth the time.
An exiting tale with an impressing cast...
So all by all i would recomend it.. (too bad its not yet available on dvd!)
But why trust my opinion,watch the movie and decide for yourself..

Lucky Chance that the movie aired!!
The movie could have been better if they left out Nicolette's horrific so called acting. all the other actors did their characters justice! The make-up in first 12yrs for the female actress for the story line was gruesom, but it did get better!! All in all the movie was fine I would recommend buying this movie @ a discount only!!

Great Movie
I thought this was a great movie. I loved the actor playing Gino. I actually felt like he was ment for the part. Although the books were much better, I really enjoyed this movie and the sequal to it. Sandra Bullock was a good Maria, but her part was too short.The actress playing Lucky was brilliant! She gave off the real essence of Lucky.

Irizarry Saves the Day
I agree with the first viewer, this movie was good, but the books were of the "can't put 'em down" variety, so would have been VERY hard to beat IMO. Vincent Irizarry, playing Gino "the Ram" Santangelo saves this movie for sure. He ages 40 years and does so with style and grace. An amazing performance from an amazing man. Michael Nader as Enzio Bonnati is excellent as well. I didn't find Braeden's portrayal of Dimitri all that compelling however. I don't think he "fit" the role real well, maybe it's just me. The roles of Lucky and her mother should have been reversed. Sandra Bullock would have made a much better Lucky and Nicolette Sheridan ... well let's just say she would have been on screen a whole lot less. Grant Show was great as Marco, although the part was too small for my liking. And the character of Lenny Golden may well have not even been introduced for all the time they spent on him, he was a BIG part of the books, and hardly even noticable in the movie. (Not the actor's fault, he was good.)

Overall, it was very entertaining. It was originally a mini-series and is long, almost four hours and would probably be best viewed in several installments. ... Read more

The Best Of The Beach
Beach Blanket Bingo is the best of AIP's Beach Party films. Unlike the other films in the series, there are actual attempts at some clever tongue and cheek writing here, Annette finally displays some of here phenomenal body, Frankie actually has a tan, and the supporting cast is much better this time around. Here we have Harvey Lembeck as Erick Von Zipper (what a great character!), Linda Evans, Marta Kristen, John Ashley, Buster Keaton, Don Rickles and the great, demented, Timothy Carey.

Director William Asher had Roger Corman's Poe movie cinematographer Floyd Crosby on this film, making it the best looking of the series. The color is rich, the compositions dynamic and the camera more mobile than usual, giving the film a greater sense of excitement.

Finally, series composer Les Baxter also had a bigger hand in writing and arranging the songs this time around, and they are much better than usual for this series -- the title tune is a standout.

If you have a taste for American-International's Beach Party pictures, this is the best, and if you've never seen one before, this is the one to start with... Loads of fun!

actually more enjoyable than the ORIGINAL "Beach Party"!
BEACH BLANKET BINGO is considered by many as their favorite "Beach Party" movie. In order, my three favorites are BEACH BLANKET BINGO, PAJAMA PARTY and BEACH PARTY.

In this sequel, Dee Dee (Annette Funicello) and Frankie (Frankie Avalon) decide to take skydiving lessons from the hard-nosed pilot John Ashley and the late Deborah Walley.

Things get complicated when up-and-coming pop singer Sugar Kane (Linda Evans) ends up in Frankie's arms - literally - and the ... Deborah decides to make Frankie an afterschool sweetheart!

Dumb-as-stumps Deadhead (Jody McCrea) falls in love with an elusive mermaid (Marta Kristen) and the always-annoying Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) and his "Rats" show up to kidnap the lovely Sugar Kane...

Featuring a memorable title song as well as great musical turns by Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and Donna Loren.

There are also great cameo roles from Earl Wilson, Don Rickles, Paul Lynde, Buster Keaton and Bobbi Shaw (reprising her role as Keaton's dizzy sidekick).

The DVD includes the trailer. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

a fun movie even for beach party movie haters
most beach party movies are pretty bad, mainly because frankie and annette are pretty insufferable. but this movie is sharp and funny. there's a comedy killer trio with harvey lembeck, don rickles and my alltime favorite, timothy carey as south dakota slim, an evil man with a heart of gold. linda evans looks incredibly young and beautiful, while donna loren is beautiful and terrific in her number. as much as pure junk can be a good movie, this is it. besides this one, any beach party movie with dick dale in it is good. the guy just rocks, rocks, rocks.

Frankie Avalon's Best Movie
A Good movie and the Best scenes are Frankie Avalon singing the theme song and the romantic song "These Are The Good Times" in the movie a song he later sang in a episode of "The Patty Duke Show".

a masterpiece of silly fun
I want to slap Frankie Avalon silly and Annette seems like a very attractive stuffed chair. But I really, really like this move. Young Linda Evans is a slice of female heaven, Harvey Lembeck is always good no matter how lousy the Beach Party movies are, but the crowning glory is Timothy Carey as the zonked out ultra hipster South Dakota Slim, a pool playing biker sadist kidnapper tapdancer who is basically a nice guy. He has been my hero ever since I saw this movie. Lots of good dancing and music, too. I must also praise Jody McCrea as Deadhead and his lovely mermaid girlfriend. Highly recommended from a guy who really knows movies. ... Read more

It was really good!
I thought Susan Lucci played a good part in this movie, but of course all of her movies are really good. I thought it was a real thriller, and i am going to buy it now. Susan Lucci is my favorite actress. I think this is the best movie that i have ever seen in my whole life. And thats the truth. Whoever wrote the scripts did a wonderful job! And of course all of the actors did a wonderful job as well. Well hope you like my little comment about the movie.

Fun all the way
This is the movie that got me into the world of Ducati Motorsports. The Ducati 916s that they ride are simply some of the best machines ever made. A great and fun movie overall. Great dialog, good action, and awesome motorcycle scenes. The only thing I find hard to believe, but is prevelant in all movies with chase scenes, is that the stupid Lincoln can keep pace with the 916. Now, unless the Lincoln has Nitrus and a blower, it ain't gonna happen! Besides that, an awesome movie!

EXPLOSIVE ALL ACTION MOVIE
Laurence Fishbourne and Steven Baldwin star in this all action adventure movie which boasts stunning visual effects and many daring, hair raising stunts from the great cast. Its all action near enough from the word go but its compelling from beginning to end with its fast, furious dialogue and great performances from its two leading stars, Lawrence Fishbourne and Steven Baldwin as two escaped convicts who are chained together through there wild adventures. Lots of great thrills throughout!! Highly recommended!

The Fugitive and US Marshals rolled into one.
the 90's version of "the Defiant ones" is a top-notch Techno Thriller which keeps you interested from minute one. enough said... See it, if you dont like it, email me and ill degrade you.

great action movie !!!!
this great action first introduced me to Fishbourne(the matrix) and Will patton (Armeggedon,Entrapment) .It is a a fast paced story with never a dull moment!!!watch and have fun with it!!love those motorcycles that the guys drive!!

I liked this film.
I liked this film. Fishburne was good. Baldwin Ok. Good plot twists etc. A bit retro/80's but otherwise entertaining. This film essentially introduced me to Will Patton (great also in Armageddon) and Laurence Fishburne (better still in The Matrix). ... Read more

He Wants to be Human Again
This was a made for television movie starring actor/singer Rick Springfield and was the predecessor of the relatively short lived but still a cult favorite television series "Forever Knight" which starred Geraint Wyn Davies as Nick Knight. The premise is Nick is a vampire that wants to regain his mortality. He's working as a cop on the night shift while the forensic surgeon on duty tries to help him become human again. In the meantime, his nemesis, Lacroix, who was the one who originally turned Nick into a vampire will do anything to stop Nick from his quest for mortality. It's a great story and hopefully this movie and the television series will eventually come out on DVD.

He Wants to Repay Society for His Sins....
In the 1989 TV flick NICK KNIGHT, rocker (1981's Grammy-winning "Jessie's Girl") and soap-opera star (GENERAL HOSPITAL, 1981-1983) Rick Springfield portrays Nick Knight, a homicide detective on the night shift who has a reputation for being a loner and a maverick. But he's a good cop, and he's hip. He drives a cool vintage Caddy, looks good in black leather, and has a soft spot in his heart for the homeless (he often checks up on them when he's out on his "beat"). Oh, yeah--and he's also a guilt-ridden vampire in quest of a cure for his supernatural malady. Solving crimes, specifically homicides, is sort of his way of paying penance for the murderous, blood-sucking sins of his past.

Though often neglected or overlooked, NICK KNIGHT is an intelligent, skillfully written, and well-acted TV film that was actually the original pilot for the popular cult TV series FOREVER KNIGHT (1992-1996). One reason that this film is nearly forgotten might be the fact that the same story was re-shot with the TV cast and subsequently aired as the series' two-part opener. While the cast of the series does a fine job-the excellent cast is, of course, one of many reasons that the show quickly became a cult favorite--NICK KNIGHT is in many ways superior to the two-part remake, and it is therefore unfortunate that the series has eclipsed the original film and pushed it into near obscurity.

The acting in NICK KNIGHT is superb, especially considering that it is a made-for-TV flick. In the titular role, Springfield delivers a strong, convincing performance and has great chemistry with the rest of the cast. Also intriguing is Laura Johnson, who plays museum curator Alyce Hunter and Knight's love interest. Not only is she a good actress and quite attractive, but Ms. Johnson and Springfield really sizzle together when they share screen time. Genre fans might recognize Michael Nader from his role as Nicolas Pike in TV's short-lived 1990 series THE FLASH, but couch potatoes are more likely to recognize him from his long-standing role as Farnsworth Dexter on TV's nighttime soap DYNASTY. Here he plays Nick's longtime nemesis, Lacroix. (Nader does a good job in the role, though he is admittedly not as compelling--nor as accomplished an actor--as Nigel Bennett, who assumes the role in the series.) As the film's comic relief, John Kapelos is hilariously entertaining in the role of Nick's annoyingly self-absorbed partner Don Schanke, and he often steals the scenes he is in. Interestingly, Kapelos is the only actor in the film who returns to reprise his role for the TV series.

The film itself has really stood up well over time. Aside from the 1980's pop tunes in the soundtrack and a few cheesy special FX, there isn't much that reveals NICK KNIGHT to be a product of late-1980s TV. The script is tight and interesting, the characters are likable and realistic, the directing is top-notch, and, as mentioned before, the acting is excellent. All in all, the film is a forgotten gem that, like its vampire characters, deserves to rise from the dead and live forever.

And thanks to the folks at Anchor Bay, NICK KNIGHT has been resurrected on DVD. True, he offering is a bare-bones disc--i.e., there are no extras or bonus features--but the digital transfer is drastically better than the previous VHS releases of the film, and the sound quality is pretty good. And being a telefilm, it is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

For fans of the TV show FOREVER KNIGHT who did not see this pilot film prior to the creation of the series, it might take a little time to warm up to the alternate actors and the character variations. But if viewed an open mind, any fan of the TV series should enjoy NICK KNIGHT, and any fan of the vampire genre will want to add the DVD of this excellent film to their collections.

Definitely worth amazon.com's reasonable price of admission.

All Good Things Must Begin Somewhere
I saw this movie when it first came out on TV as the pilot for the somewhat popular Forever Knight series. I remember that I loved the pilot at the time and didn't realize that this was a pilot an not just another made for TV movie. Then about two years after I saw Nick Knight, Forever Knight came out. I was much disappointed that they had not kept more members of the original cast and had chosen to reshoot the pilot and air it like Nick Knight had never been. It took me the whole four years that Forever Knight was on TV to warm to the cast and I absolutely hated the cheesy flashbacks! I didn't need to be beat over the head to know that Nick was obviously older than he looked! I mostly watched the series out of loyalty to the original pilot and hoped that the series would get better with time, but obviously they must have replaced the original director and writers to come up with the sloppy mess they put out for the series. All in all, the original Nick Knight was the best of the bunch and I recommend this movie to anyone who is not yet biased by the trash that came out in the series.

I remember this being better
Ok, this was the pilot that after a good number of changes became the cult classic tv show "Forever Knight". Rick Springfield did fine but I'm glad the television show got rid of most of the actors except for our dear friend Detective Skanky -- what a name to be stuck with in life. The first two episodes of the television series basically redoes this movie so you dont' need to get it as a supplment. But if you watched when it was on tv like I did you may want it as a momento.

movie that started the fuss
Like others I have watched both the tv version and this. Nick is a much deeper character, LaCroix a shade [ok a deeper] evil and perhaps more complex. The filming is more complex.

Perhaps this is one of my frustrations with the TV show. It seemed dumbed down as if the writers and makers where sure we weren't bright enough to catch any implications they might throw at us so buff it over lightly and ignore. I was constantly saying "That could have been GREAT if only... Darn it they did it again and missed." With the movie well...

The film does NOT do this. It has a depth that the TV never made it to. Major characters from the tv show are missing, such as Nat [thank you thank you].

Nick is believable as a haunted knight errant seeking salvation in a world that is not so nice sometimes. The character is fully developed and interesting. When it ended I wanted more of THIS Nick. Sadly what followed [on TV] didn't give me that.

The list could go on. ... Read more

Vosloo's Chilling Performance
I have come to love and respect Arnold Vosloo for his acting abilities. Before The Mummy and The Mummy Returns he has acted in several movies with great precision. He is a SCENE STEALER! Vosloo has a wonderful way of taking an otherwise poor script and turning it to gold. The intensity he puts into this performance as a vicious murder suspect is fantastic...it was almost painful for to watch...yes he is that good! Vosloo is much; much thinner in this movie with bleached blonde hair, but feature changes does not detract from the performance. Those beautiful down turned eyes and curly smile still shines through the TV screen.

Someone in LA is killing young women...but not before captioning them in erotic poses and then killing them-on tape. These tapes are then sold overseas. Sam Stone (Michael Nader) is the tough detective on the case. His tough ways get him kicked off the case by his supervisor, which allow Nader's soon- to-be ex-wife and fellow detective, Hannah (Shelley Hack) to fill in for him-as a potential victim. This angers Stone who still loves her and fears to her safety. Hannah poses as a...well uh...struggling model to catch the potential killer's attention. It is in a club were she finally meets Vosloo.

Vosloo plays an international artist specializing in naked bodies. He meets Hannah at the same club another victim was last seen at-with Vosloo. They meet on several "dates" but not before falling in love with Vosloo. Hannah and Vosloo finally consummate their relationship with a "lovely" sex scene. WOW! Throughout this powerful scene, Vosloo still can maintain a gentle quality about him. This contrast in emotions is seen in many of his films, a quality one cannot fake. Vosloo's accent is rich and lush, captivating the watcher till the very end. Look out for the shocking ending! For new or established fans, do you self a favor and add this to your collection. I hope this review helps you make that decision.

Intriguing, Vosloo fans would appreciate this!
If your a fan of Arnold Vosloo you'll want this one in your collection. Stalking beautiful women & killing them is an interesting story and AV does a very good job portraying the killer. Story line is a bit predictable, but well worth the rent or buy. Nice dramatization, very compelling, with a spicy erotic sex scene too! ... Read more

THIS version would have been better left untold
If you've already seen the original GREAT ESCAPE, then you shouldn't waste your time with this. GREAT ESCAPE 2 is supposedly closer to the real events, but that's still no excuse to bore the living daylights out of viewers. Here we have Christopher Reeve, Judd Hirsch (TV's TAXI) and Donald PLeasance as very poor stand ins for Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson. Probably part of this is that I slogged my way through the three hour version, each 90 minute part has a different director which probably didn't help matters. Part 1 is directed by Paul Wendkos and Part 2 by Jud Taylor. If you absolutely must watch this then try and find the 90 minute edited version. Don't torture yourself like I did.
