Another amazing journey!
Now it starts off when the family is planning a plane trip to Canada. Chance the american bulldog thinks that instead of going to Canada he is going to the dog pound because his owner Jamie has been mean to him. Chance escapes from the cage and runs through the airport with Shadow the golden retriever and Sassy the Himilayan cat trying to stop him. Now these animals get lost in a city and comes across stray dogs that don't like humans. That really gives a moral lesson to humans about how dogs feel not having a home. Throughout, the animals will come across dog fights, rescuing a boy from a fire, and avoiding dog catchers. During their trip to finding the bridge back home Chance gets a girlfriend named Delilah.
This movie had it's funny moments like the first one but the only sad moment was when Chance lost his girlfriend going back home and almost getting hit by a truck. I would recommend this movie if you liked the first one and see if you like it as much.

As Good As The First
This, like the original, was really good. I saw it in the movie theaters when I was little, and had been a big fan of the original before that.

This one takes a good direction: pets lost in the city. I think it is a little funnier than the first. Having all the different dogs around makes the movie more fun, the two bad dogs and Reilly's gang. Chance's girlfriend, Delilah, just got in the way here. I've noticed that in a lot of sequels to Disney originals, a main character falls in love. It gets boring after awhile. Both HOMEWARD BOUND movies are real good, and that's a compliment coming from me, since I'm getting more into the horror genre now. Anyway, defenately rent them both, they're really fun to watch. In my opinion, there should be a HOMEWARD BOUND III made. I wouldn't mind another sequel to finish off the trilogy.

Really Funny Movie
This is a really funny movie for adults and kids! My younger kids like watching it to see the kitty and doggies, and my older kids love the funny jokes!

I recommend this movie.

Awesome Family Film
My kids and I thought this movie was fantastic. We watched it right after watching the first movie. After viewing this film my and 8 & 6 year olds were pretending to be the characters in the film, playing with our own dogs and cats. Wholesome family movie. Highly recommended.

Cruisin in San Francisco!
I loved the video. it was great, not as warm as HB1 but still good. Chance as usual not willing to follow orders and stay in his traveling box to Canada, runs out of the plane, forcing Sassie and Shadow to chase after him. They all wind up in San Francisco. They get rescued by some feral dogs from a couple of mean dogs. Chance falls in love with a dog. 2 dirtylooking mean guys roam around in a red truck catching animals until near the end when the ferals and the trio swamp them. One funny scene had Chance trapped in the red van with other dogs and Sassie on the outside telling him to admit "Cats Rule" in order to be freed. There was a scene where the 2 guys accidentally throw a cigarette at a house which causes a fire and so Shadow goes in to save a little boy and Sassie goes in to save the boy's kitten--this is the same boy that Sassie had tried to beg some food from earlier but Chance had ruined her chances by showing up. funny. It was a really funny, nice, fast video. Shadow as usual was his old and wise self. ... Read more

This subtle, existential character study of an emotionally distant outcast (Nicholson) forced to confront his past failures remains an intimate cornerstone of American '70s cinema. Written and directed with remarkable restraint by Bob Rafelson, the film is the result of a short-lived partnership between the filmmaker and Nicholson--the first was the zany formalist exercise, Head, while the equally impressive King of Marvin Gardens followed Five Easy Pieces. Quiet and full of long, controlled takes, this film draws its strength from the acutely detailed, nonjudgmental observations of its complex protagonist, Robert Dupea--an extremely crass and frustrated oil worker, and failed child pianist hiding from his past in Texas. Dupea spends his life drinking beer and sleeping with (and cheating on) his annoying but adoring Tammy Wynette-wannabe girlfriend, but when he learns that his father is dying in Washington State, he leaves. After the film transforms into a spirited road movie, and arrives at the eccentric upper-class Dupea family mansion, it becomes apparent that leaving is what Dupea does best--from his problems, fears, and those who love him. Nicholson gives a difficult yet masterful performance in an unlikable role, one that's full of ambiguity and requires violent shifts in acting style. Several sequences--such as his stopping traffic to play piano, or his famous verbal duels with a cranky waitress over a chicken-salad sandwich--are Nicholson landmarks. Yet, it's the quieter moments, when Dupea tries miserably to communicate and reconcile with his dying father, where the actor shows his real talent--and by extension, shows us the wounded little boy that lurks in the shell of the man Dupea has become. --Dave McCoy ...

Brilliant mood piece
How can you not love a movie whose soundtrack successfully intermingles Tammy Wynette songs with classical music pieces??

I like to think of this film as more of a "mood piece" than a "character study". It succeeds tremendously as both; but if I had to describe to someone what is meant by a "mood piece" I would direct them right to this film. It epitomizes the early-70s American wasteland look and feel common in some great "New Hollywood" films of its time (Jack Nicholson was in several such movies, like the classics "The Last Detail" and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"). The scene outside the bowling alley especially captures this beautiful grit.

You all probably know the story, so I won't bother with the obligatory references to the diner scene, the hitchhikers, or the truly heartbreaking scene where Robert Eroica Dupea clumsily spills his guts to his sick father. I will admit it took several viewings to truly appreciate this film. But now I rank it as one of my favorites. It's rare to find a film that can take you to a time and place you weren't at and introduce you to people you've never known, yet feel it as if you had.

This one is not to be missed. Give it a few tries if you have to.

Five Easy Stars
After his strong supporting turn in Easy Rider brought fame to Jack Nicholson, he got his first starring opportunity in Five Easy Pieces. Teaming up with his old pal Bob Rafelson (from Monkees fame), they created an interesting character study. Mr. Nicholson is Robert Dupea, a hellion who is oilrig worker in Texas. He is basically shiftless and has no direction in life. What we soon discover is that Dupea is a piano playing prodigy who grew up on the Puget Sound in Washington. His girlfriend, played by Karen Black, wants to be a country & western singer and is constantly singing along to "Stand By Your Man". She drives him nuts, but after his best friend is arrested, he heads back home to Washington with her in tow. He ends up falling for another woman who also plays piano and is staying at his father's house. The title of the film is derived from five easy piano pieces that Dupea and the woman dissect. Mr. Nicholson does an incredible job of peeling back the layers of Dupea and his scene ordering a chicken salad sandwich is highly memorable. Ms. Black is perfectly annoying in her role and she does a tremendous job. Mr. Rafelson & Mr. Nicholson have teamed several times since this movie, but never were they any better together.

NOT Texas!
Why does everyone say Nicholson's character is working in the "Texas" oil fields? It's the California oilfields (Bakersfield, Shafter California).
Good character study, excellent acting. and the chicken salad scene is classic Nicholson.

A Great Film
In a story of two worlds and what happens when they collide, Jack Nicholson gives a performance that should have won an Academy Award. As Bobby Dupea, Nicholson abandons his privilaged life for that of an aimless drifter- something he will eventually apologize for. He goes from being a talented musician to working as an oil rigger but a family illness will bring him back to his affluent roots and it is here that he must decide the course the rest of his life will take. And while all the perfomances are excellent, it is Nicholson that keeps us spellbound. In a long career, he has played many facinating characters but in my humble opinion, it is as the wasted talent Bobby Dupea that Nicholson shines the brightest.

A film about people
This film got a fair amount of buzz in its time but I had never seen it. Having been interested by some of Nicholson's work (Head, Witches of Eastwick, Chinatown) I thought, in a weak moment, that it might be good to own a copy of this.

It is a film about people I wouldn't want to know relating deeply with other people I wouldn't want to know and has few other qualities which stand out after a first viewing. I give it two stars rather than one because it was, I suppose, professionally done. ... Read more

A Legacy for Our Youth
As an African American parent and teacher, this movie is a MUST for our children. Each generation is further removed from the real-life experiences of segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and the deceased generation of slavery. The word "nigger" is now used thoughtlessly as a joke. Our children don't realize the significance the word had and still has for some generations. Too many believe they can refuse or fight their way out of an unwanted situation. Theirs is a different reality. ROOTS can bring them in touch with the past of those who have died in a struggle to maintain dignity for our people. This legacy is alive in the movie ROOTS. Share the legacy with our children---see the movie with a young person.

Kunte Kinte
This a really DEEP! movie. It makes you laugh! and it makes you cry!

It takes you to Africa, then brings you back to slavery. It shows the will of Kunte Kinte and how it could not be broken during his enslavement.

This film is one of a kind you you don't know anything about slavery until you've seen ROOTS ... Read more

John-Boy follows the writer's dictum to write what you know
"The Triangle" (Episode #40, December 20, 1973) finds John-Boy (Richard Thomas) has written an essay about someone who inspires him. Miss Hunter (Mariclaire Costello) likes the essay so much that she encourages him to rewrite it and send it into a competition. As John-Boy works on perfecting the essay, he spends as much time as possible with Miss Hunter, so she can help him. However, she becomes distracted when Reverend Fordwick (John Ritter) asks permission to start courting her. Consequently, she fails to realize what is obvious from the start: John-Boy is not writing about some "Aunt," he is writing about her. Jealous of the other two (the title is perfectly clear now, right?) John-Boy no longer wants to work on the essay. There is a parallel sub-plot in this episode as Ben is being bullied by some of the local boys. When Naomi, the girl Ben is interested in, goes off with one of the other boys, Ben decides to send away for bodybuilding lessons. This episode will hit home for anyone who remembers having a crush on their teacher, which, should be a whole lot of people. Written by Lionel E. Siegl, this episode was directed by Lee Philips. ...

John-Boy and Mary Ellen face a couple of hard choices
"The Hunt" (Episode #4, October 5, 1972) John-Boy (Richard Thomas) is about to go on his first turkey hunt. But while he wants to prove he is a grown up who can help put food on the table for the Walton clan, he is uneasy about having to kill a living creature. Meanwhile, in a parallel sub-plot about hard choices, Mary Ellen (Judy Norton-Taylor) has been saving her money to buy a catcher's mitt to play catch with her good buddy, G.W. Haines (David Doremus). However, G.W. is suddenly interested in boys and Mary Ellen starts thinking maybe she should use her money to buy a dress instead. What makes this episode, written by John McGreevey, of some interest is that both John-Boy and Mary Ellen make their decisions and then have to learn to live with them. In both cases, there are some interesting twists. Actually, the Mary Ellen plot line is a bit more interesting but only because the one with John-Boy is a bit predictable. We all know he is not going to shoot the turkey and we all know that just because he is sensitive does not mean he is weak. Not a classic episode of "The Waltons," but certainly an interesting episode.

facing your fears
the hardest thing that jason had to do was facing his fears and anguish over losing your best friend who was dying. It showed that you don't always have to be pushed into doing the right thing. This movie shows that the Walton family were trying to do the right thing for everyone involved and needn't have to push or prod the young people to do so. It was heartbreaking to hear Jason play the instrument that his friend Seth made for him.
This was a warm and teary movie that i think everyone should see if they have someone they love that is sick or dying. It tells you that you don't have to find the right words for every moment in your life.

Courage for a boy to openely admit his reluctance to kill
I was very impressed with Richard Thomas' acting in this video. It was so believable. A 16 year old boy today would scarcely admit to such feelings as 'John boy' felt over killing an animal. Everyone is an individual and he just wasnt ready yet to be the big provider of meat for the family. After all, he had his father and grandfather on the hunt with him still as the providers. It took immeasurable courage to admit to being afraid and doubtful of shooting the turkey to his father. He risked ridicule and being made to feel shame and like less of a man all for having his very own view and feelings. I loved the way his father still loved him and was proud of him even though he probably would have rather his son had got a turkey that day.

Other episodes have been better!
We are huge fans of The Waltons and have watched practically the whole series on TV. We thought that this episode was one of the worst ones, and not at all as good as some of the other ones. We thought that it showed cowardly acts instead of courage. It isn't that big of a deal to kill an animal to eat for Thanksgiving dinner, and we thought John-Boy went a little overboard with his beliefs about killing. However, we liked the other parts of this episode, and the rest of the series a whole lot!!! ... Read more

30 years later I still ache inside from this episode
When I was growing up, there were a few shows that made a big impact on me, the kind of life-altering impact that helped make me who I am today.

One such show was "Time Enough at Last," the classic Twlight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith as a voracious reader who winds up to be the last man on earth. That ending still gives me the chills.

Another show was "All That Glitters," an episode of Lost in Space that tugged a bit at my heartstrings.

Other shows, not available on any format, include The Sixth Sense starring Gary Collins as a parapsychologist. Some scenes from that show still scare the willies out of me to remember them. (I wish someone would release those episodes on VHS or, better yet, DVD!) I also loved Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

Then there was The Waltons, a show seemingly perfect for someone who's more a feeler than a thinker.

This episode of the Waltons ("Love Story") touched my heart like very few shows ever did. Or ever could. Maybe "touched" isn't the right word. Maybe ripped it out of my chest, beating and bleeding is closer to the truth. In fact, nearly 30 years after I first saw "Love Story," I can still feel the pain inside from watching John-Boy fight back the tears when Jenny Pendleton tells him she has to go away -- and that after they promised each other they'd marry and settle down together.

My gosh, does this episode hurt me emotionally. It's almost too painful to watch.

I know because I bought this video recently and watched it. Sure enough, the tears fell like rain at the end. Especially listening to John-Boy sing in that plaintive voice of his some love song accompanied by a zither.

TV never had a more emotional moment, in my opinion. And I have yet to see any medium capture what lost love and shattered dreams actually FEELS like the way this episode does.

If you like that sort of thing, this is the video to watch.

John-Boy Walton falls in love with Jenny Pendleton
"The Love Story" was the episode of "The Waltons" where Jenny Pendleton, played by Sian Barbara Allen, showed up on Walton's Mountain and forever won John-Boy Walton's heart. He discovers that young Jenny has run away from her home in Richmond and has been staying at the old Pendleton place on Walton's Mountain. Her father has recently remarried and he is too busy with his new bride to pay her much attention, and so she has returned to live on the Mountain for a while. The Waltons take Jenny into their home and she gets to see what it is like to live in the warmth of a large, loving family. Jenny's father and stepmother show up and decide to stay awhile at the old place, providing a chance for them to bond. But Jenny and John-Boy are too busy falling in love for that to happen. However, by turning her back on what she said she wanted, Jenny has tempted the Fates and they exact a high price. "Love Story" is one of the classic episodes of "The Waltons," pretty much of everyone's Top 10 list. This episode, which originally aired January 18, 1973, received Emmy nominations for Earl Hamner, Jr.'s writing and Lee Philip's direction. The character of Jenny appeared the following season in "The Thanksgiving Story" and Allen received a Golden Globe nomination for most promising actress in 1973. Of course, some time between now and then that particular award was retired. I think after Pia Zadora won it, if I am not mistaken, although I imply no causality. ... Read more

This 1992 crowd pleaser made almost as much money for Whitney Houston as its chart-busting soundtrack. A high-wattage star vehicle as only Hollywood can make, The Bodyguard stars Houston as a pop-music diva (now there's a stretch) and Kevin Costner as the stern bodyguard who is assigned to protect her after the singer receives some nasty death threats. Pop star and bodyguard don't hit it off at first, but they wear down each others' defenses, and before long Houston is baring her tonsils with a rousing rendition of the Dolly Parton chestnut "I Will Always Love You." The film, written by Lawrence Kasden, was originally intended for Steve McQueen, but the script languished for years before Houston took an interest in the project. A proposed sequel would potentially have starred Costner and Princess Diana, until Diana's tragic death precluded that possibility. --Jeff Shannon ... Read more

A Good Movie With a Few Minor Flaws
First off I'd like to mention that even though it lists the remastered soundtrack as one of the special features, it doesn't mean that it is has the actual soundtrack included, it just means the scenes of the movie with music are remastered. This DVD isn't really good as far as special features, but the movie is as good as it was 10 years ago. Whitney is excellent in her film debut, and Kevin is no worse than he usually is. The only big problem with this movie is that Whitney's character, Rachel, curses more than half the time. If you have a child that you don't think is old enough to listen to Whitney Houston saying the F word, I suggest you tape this off TV (it's always on) and watch that copy when with your child, as they always edit the curses out. Other than these things, this movie is excellent, suspenseful, romantic, and gives you insight into the dangerous life of a superstar. If you like these things, or just like Whitney, or, umm, Kevin, you will love this movie, just don't expect "I'm Every Woman" to show up anywhere, it doesn't.

Outstanding
When this movie first came out the critics panned it mercilessly and frankly I just can't understand why. I thought it was fabulous. Kevin Costner plays an ex-Secret Service agent hired to protect a spoiled, difficult to get along with diva receiving death threats. Whitney Houston portrays the spoiled starlet to perfection. The chemistry and interplay between Houston and Costner was electric. The music in the movie was also great.

There are really some key elements that made this movie extremely good. First, I thought the acting was top notch by all involved. The supporting cast really played their characters well, as did the stars. Secondly, the editing was outstanding. The movie and plot move along at a fast pace. There is not a dull moment in the entire movie. And finally, the plot was plausible (for the most part) and the mystery - who is the hit man - slowly reveals itself. Having watched the movie several times, there a several foreshadowings.

Overall I found it a most entertaining movie both as a mystery, a thriller, and love story.

Are you sick
Its sad that a movie like this that contains no script or story plot is labeled a great movie and is given better reviews than Mariah Carey's Glitter which contained a story and plot.

Come on just think about it. I love Whitney as a singer though.

LOVED IT!!
Kevin Costner is a FOX!!! I loved this movie..I bought the DVD since I had never seen it but liked Whitney Houston. I am now a fan of Kevin Costner!! I was so happy and in tears when she stepped off that plane in the end. I had to bust out my Whitney Greatest Hits CD! LOVED it!!

I sorta like it, but I don't respect it...
You're going to see "The Bodyguard" spoofed a lot. Just two days ago I saw an episode of "The Simpsons" with Homer saving Mark Hamill from a horde of geeks. As the song "I Will Always Love You" swelled in the background, the image of Homer carrying an animated Mark in his arms filled the screen.

Of course, the film itself isn't a good movie. "The Bodyguard" is, in fact, a very bad movie. But I like it, in an odd sort of way. It's one of those likable but stupid movies that make the time fly by on a Friday night -- unless, of course, you have something better to do than waste your time watching Kevin Costner attempt to act and Whitney Houston attempt to love him.

The movie stars Kevin Costner as Frank Farmer, a bodyguard who blames himself for events from the past that come back to haunt him. Whitney Houston basically plays Whitney Houston (though the character's name is different in the film), a famous singer like herself who falls in love with her newly-aquired bodyguard and sparks an interracial romance that threatens her career almost as much as the death threats she has been receiving in the mail.

Frank's mission is to protect her at all costs from the assassinator, who is not a metallic cyborg and who does not bear an uncanny resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger (though it would have helped market the film). The surprise at the end is that the killer is not who we think it is throughout -- so don't think at all! Just watch. I hope I didn't ruin any part of the movie for you. But don't tempt me -- I'm about to give away the rabid fan's identity to you.

"The Bodyguard" is a big, mushy mess, filled with bad acting and bad scriptwriting. The entire movie is bad. It's way too long for its own good -- especially when it is broadcast on network television and stretched to a near three-hour showing. (Do they really provide fifty minutes of commercials these days on CBS?) I've seen the movie numerous times, on network television and unedited, and it always seems too long. But, despite its (extremely) bad traits, the movie is a lot of fun to watch.

I don't like Kevin Costner. I think he is, what I call, a *blah* actor. He talks with such a lightweight mumble that it often induces sleep. If Costner wants to make money after his film career is depleted (that's happening, folks), he should market Costner Sleep Cassettes. Insert a cassette tape/CD of Kevin Costner reading your least favorite book, and you're guaranteed to fall asleep in less than five minutes -- or your money back!

I found one great role that Kevin Costner has played over the years, and it was the role he played in "The Untouchables," opposite Robert De Niro's Al Capone. Brian DePalma directed that movie, and it worked because the role for Costner fit his dull acting talent. Watching him attempt to *really* act is quite sad. Remember his interpretation of Robin Hood? Some people liked it, but I thought it was a disgrace to Robin Hood.

For what it's worth, Costner is good here, mainly because he acts like a dull bodyguard who is required to show absolutely no feelings whatsoever. His character basically walks around with a single expression on his face throughout the film, including while he's on a date with Whitney and the night after (if you know what I mean).

The movie sparked a lot of controversy because the couple embrace in a passionate kiss at the end of the film. If you don't mind sitting through bad acting, bad directing, bad scriptwriting, all stretched out to two and a half hours...then this is the movie for you. I, personally, sorta like it. But I don't respect it. ... Read more

The First Season is Coming Out On DVD!
The Waltons is one of my favorite one hour dramatic shows from the 70s and this episode in which a young boy is dying of cancer is one of the best and saddest episodes. The boy is played by Ron Howard from The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days and I thought he did a great job. It's good that this episode is on video but I just found out that the first season of The Waltons is coming out on DVD and personally complete seasons on DVD is what I would go for!

Jason comes to terms with the death of his friend Seth
In "The Gift," Jason Walton (Jon Walmsley) has to come to terms with the fatal illness of his best friend, Seth Turner (guest star Ron Howard). Seth's dream has always been to play in the band of his father, Red Turner (Ken Swofford). While his father is off on the road, Seth and Jason go up on the mountain to find some wood to make a recorder. When Seth collapses they learn that he has leukemia and has a year to live. Surprisingly, Jason has a hard time accepting Seth's illness and refuses to talk to his friend. Seth's mother wants to protect him as long as she can to keep him alive. But when Seth's father returns, he decides the best thing he can do for his son is to make what time he has left the best possible and decides to take Seth on his next tour. Seth completes the recorder and arranges for it to be delivered to Jason, but it is Grandpa and not John-Boy who delivers the gift and opens Jason's eyes to what is going on. I admit I have a slight problem with this episode because I find it hard to believe that Jason could continue to be so insensitive after the initial shock wears off. Otherwise, this would have been a first-rate episode about how we deal with the inevitability of death that comes not as a sudden surprise, but as a slowly approaching but inevitable moment of grief and pain. Howard's performance is excellent and serves as a nice reminder that he was always a decent actor before he became a first rate director. Written by Carol Eva McKeand with a script by Ray Goldup and Jack Hanrahan, "The Gift" first aired on January 24, 1974. ... Read more

John-Boy has vision problems after an accident
As Thanksgiving approaches John-Boy is excited because his girl friend Jenny is returning to Walton's Mountain and he has been accepted by Boatwright University to sit for their scholarship exam, which would allow him to go to college. However, after an accident at the sawmill he begins having vision problems. When he takes the exam he can barely see and is unable to finish. Only then does he go to the doctor, who discovers John-Boy needs major surgery to relieve the pressure building on his optic nerves which provides the requisite crisis to weather before it is time to sit down to the turkey dinner. Meanwhile, in what amounts to a comic subplot, Jason agrees to work for the Baldwin sisters only to discover they want his help in making a batch of the family recipe. Jason is horrified his mother will find out, but things get much worse than that when the Baldwin sisters decide to adopt him and go to make an offer to John and Olivia. The latter is not particularly thankful to find out her son is making bootleg whiskey (the ladies want to send some to President Roosevelt with his Thanksgiving present). This episode originally aired on November 15, 1973. Writer Joanne Lee won an Emmy for best script for "A Thanksgiving Story," while director Philip Leacock was nominated in his field as well. This is an excellent episode and quite representative of the strength of "The Waltons" as a domestic drama. The crisis with John-Boy is a bit contrived, but there is an earnestness to the characters and the stories that overcomes any serious objections. There are not many decent movies or television episodes you can readily associate with Thanksgiving, but "A Thanksgiving Story" would have to be on the short list.

RESPECT, CARING, LOVING.

Great acting with a qwirky twist
I came across this movie on the "late late late" show in about 1984. Do you remember the plight of the American farmer in the early 1980's?

Ralph Waite from the Waltons played the lead as a father and farmer who had lost his farm to big business. The family heads to Florida to rebuild their lives because they have heard rumors of how prosperous life is growing fruit in the orange belt.

Once they arrive the family is forced into working as fruit pickers for pennies just to survive. They live through hell as they end up working as slave laborers, (unknown to them until payday of course where they find they owe their employer more than they earned during the week.) The longer they stay the worse things get and it becomes impossible to leave.

One of my most memorable features of this movie is the line "I's the cook, I gets 2 bottles of wine, I don't pick no 'maters and cukes no more, I's the cook."

This is a very good movie, with great actors. You will find yourself routing for the family in short time. I experienced anger, sadness, joy and tension during this show. A very good movie!

I highly reccomend it! ... Read more

One of the best starring Lou Diamond Phillips
I have loved this movie ever since it first came out and was waiting for it to go on sale at the local video stores! Well, never did see it on sale--can't even find it anymore, except on i did find it on Amazon. Not only does the movie have a terrific cast, with REAL NATIVE PEOPLES starring in it, the movie itself is at times moving, touching, humorous, heart-breaking, and shows what still happens to some of the Indigenous Peoples. The soundtrack is great (I do have that--:D ) and listen to it frequently. Now I'm finally going to buy the video so I can watch it whenever I want to do so.

Cliffhanger a blockbuster hit!!
CliffHanger made in 1993 is one of the most exciting action films on screen. The stunts and location in the movie are unbelievable.

It stars Sylvester Stallone as Gabriel Walker, and (Michael Rooker)as Hal Tucker as 2 climbing experts whose friendship comes to an end, when Tucker's girlfriend , Sarah
falls to her death while climbing when Gabe tries to rescue her. Tucker blames Walker for the accident and hasn't forgiven him ever since.

Jess Dieghan ( Janine Turner) plays Gabriel girlfriend and coworker on these hi-risk rock climbing jobs.

The basic plot in CliffHanger is that a group of terrorists led by a madman named Qualin (John Lighgow) are stealing money from the Treasury Department and making their escape through an airplane. Mr. Travers is the Treasury Agent who is assigned the task of showing an FBI agent, Mr. Mateson, how to find the sum of money that was stolen from Treasury department. However, Mr. Mateson's true job is to find the traitor inside the Treasury Department. It just so happens that Mr. Mateson, is on the same airplane that the terrorist, and the traitor
is, and in a really great scene, blows away a couple of the terrorists and puts their plan to steal the money on hold.

Eventually, Mr. Qualin and his remaining terrorists friends escape, but not before the money they stole gets tossed into the icy mountains below them. Qualin and his friends, stranded on the mountains, and angry about losing their money, come up a with a plan to get back.

They pretend to be stranded on the mountains, and call in a rescue team to get them, and to eventually force them to get their money.

The rescue team answers and you guessed it, it's Gabe Walker and his ex friend Hal Tucker who answer the call.
Now the action really stars and Gabe, and his friends must try to find a way to stop the madman Qualin and his terrorists.
There are really some amazing stunts in Cliffhanger. There are great action scenes, including a big avalanche scene, there is also a great scene in which Gabe literally
surfs on the ice while avoiding the machine gun bullets of the terrorists chasing them.

Stallone's character, Gabe is also a very smart guy, he comes up with some pretty good plans to foil Qualin's plan, while at the same time using his strong muscles as an added weapon. Stallone is his usual calm and cool self, delivering the smart, but lethal Walker, and gives his character some depth throughout the movie.

John Lighgow is also great as Qualin. Litghow has made a good career playing the psycho. In the memorable Ricochet, his acting as the psychotic left a lasting impression with me.

Now there's probably some people who already have seen Cliffhanger before, but the DVD delivers the movie in a way you haven't seen before

Dvd features:

* Trailer
*Special look at the special
effects of the movie
*Deleted scenes

The movie was directed by Renny Harlin, another one of those directors that don't get the spotlight but who have directed many blockbuster movies including:

*Die Hard 2
*Driven

Furthermore, the hits that Harlin has directed have been made into
games: Cliffhanger was made for the Sega Genesis, Supernes and Gameboy. The games for it, are actually pretty good. Likewise Die Hard 2 was made for the pc and Playstation, along with Driven for the Gameboy Advance.

So Cliffhanger is an awesome movie, and now with the special DVD for it, it's definitely worth seeing once again.

Wow! Cliffhanger it is!
What a Great Movie! Within the first 10 minutes of this movie, I was exclaiming out loud - "why haven't I heard of this film before?" Talk about edge-of-your-seat ... the opening scene deserves a place in film making history as one of the all time openings. It's already been tributed - the second "Pet Detective" movie opening spoofs this film's opening, complete with the red helicopter and breathtakingly high altitude climbing.

Janine Turner is Stallone's sensible and grounded girlfriend who flies a helicopter and assists with rescue missions, but it's Stallone who gets caught up in a story of intrigue and greed against the backdrop of beautiful outdoor mountainous areas. There are subplots and chase scenes.

Very believable with an interesting plot and reasonably good character development, lots of excitement and very well done. Highly recommended for an evening's entertainment.

breathtaking
this movie will blow you away, I mean literally, theres no denying its great scale of sequences and action. this is non-stop with guys comign after Stallone and Turner for the money. the opening is a grabber for sure and the end is explosive. Lithgow is a good badguy as well and Leon was perfectly killed off, talk about a icicle threw his chest, man, but a more disturbing movie with an icicle is in Die Hard 2 where Bruce Willis stabs the guy in the eye with an icicle and then breaks it off in there, ehhh. other cast members include Ralph Waite, Caroline Goodall, Michael Rooker, Max Perlich and Rex Linn.

Wow! Cliffhanger it is!

Great movie for kids, ages 10-15. They'll want to read it!
This movie is great! I read the book when I was in seventh grade called "Good Old Boy and the Witch of Yazoo" and this is a great adaptation. All kids will enjoy it, boys and girls. It has lots of adventure, comedy, and crazy stuff kids love. They'll be able to identify with the rough things that happen in childhood. The main character, a boy named Willie is a superb young actor who lives life to the fullest, has a special relationship with his aging grandfather, and even a budding first romance with a sweet little girl named Rivers! Perfect for people who loved Disney's "Huck Finn," "Annie," "The Sandlot" and other movies about kids starring kids, "The River Pirates" is a sure thing! A+++ ... Read more

One of my top 5 all time favorite Westerns
The plotline is simple. Jarrod Maddox (Burt Lancaster), is an aging lawman, still extremely capable, who arrives in town and gives notice that the men involved in a killing will return with him for trial "or I'll kill them where they stand".

What unfolds is truly interesting, given depth by the rich characterizations of Lee J. Cobb, Robert Ryan (two exceptional supporting actors), Albert Salmi, Joseph Wiseman, Sheree North and others (look for Robert Duvall in a pre-Godfather role, as well as Ralph Waite, pre-Waltons) and a story that does not move in a conventional direction.

More than once I have read reviews of this film that criticize its ending. I strongly disagree with this assessement. I think that the ending completes the drama fittingly. The ending is violent and disturbing, even dark, but this should lend itself toward reflection, not scorn.

One man who doesn't bow to people who break the law
One of the most underappreciated westerns ever made, LAWMAN stars Burt Lancaster as a hard-bitten, taciturn lawman from the town of Bannock who rides seemingly for a hundred miles to the town of Sabbath to take in a group of cowboys who, in a drunken shooting spree, had shot up his town and killed an old man.

But his appearance in Sabbath causes considerable hostility among the townsfolk, because they owe their livelihoods to that same bunch, led by Lee J. Cobb, and are unwilling to give it up. Lancaster, unsurprisingly, is unmoved. Therein hangs this solid, almost psychological, sagebrush saga.

Lancaster, as usual, is brilliant in his role of an efficient, cold-blooded lawman, and Cobb is equally special as the leader of the group of cowboys being sought. This is not your typical good guys/bad guys saga: what happened in Bannock was a tragic accident, and Lancaster may be pushing his authority a bit too far. Robert Ryan, always one of the better and more overlooked actors in Hollywood, gives one of his greatest performances as Sabbath's aging, pragmatic marshal.

Probably Michael Winner's best film as a director, LAWMAN was shot on location in central Mexico and has some stark photography by British cameraman Robert Paynter, giving it a look not out of place in a Sam Peckinpah or Sergio Leone film. It is violent in places, but it makes for very good viewing, especially for those who appreciate westerns of this type.

The Difficulties of Law Enforcement in the Old West
I am compelled to write a review of Lawman in an attempt to dispell some oft repeated misunderstandings about the film. The most common error applied to the film is that it is morally ambiguous. Lawman the film is not morally ambiguous as such. The Lawman, Jered Maddox (Lancaster), is clearly the most outstanding and praiseworthy figure or character in the film. The confusion comes in only if we attempt to univeralize morality in a Kantian fashion, thereby making the actions of the Lawman "immoral" because of his willingness to use force. The fact that the majority of the other characters are immoral or simply utilitarian (looking only to their self intersest) in their moral views does not in any way mystify the issue to those willing to clearly look at the circumstances of the story. A bunch of drunken cowboys accidentally killed an old man and refuse to return to the scene of the crime to stand trial, insisting it was an accident and that it should not matter anyway. Maddox, knowing full well the kind of arrogance and blatant disregard for juridical authority he is up against, states "I'm going to take these men back with me or kill them where they stand." Maddox is under no illusion about the outcome of the trial if and when it does take place. He knows the leader of the cowboys, Bronson (Lee J. Cobb,) is a wealthy cattle baron and will be able to "buy the circuit judge cheap." But he is committed to his duty. Maddox is his duty: the guardian of the law. We find this very hard to accept and understand today in our era of feel good humanism which seeks to muddy everything in the waters of "moral ambiguity." Why can't he compromise? That is exactly what the cowboys who killed the old man want, a compromise, i.e. they want to get off without any trouble and without accepting any responsibility for their criminal actions. They want Maddox to "be reasonable." Maddox refuses, however, to be disuaded, bought-off or bullied into giving in; he is unmoved and unwavering his devotion to his duty, knowing full well that his duty is both dangerous and unpopular with the demos. Maddox does briefly consider giving in after a little female persuasion, but realizes he can do no such such thing. "You can't change what you are. If you try, something always calls you back."

Most of us are simply not like Maddox and thus find ourselves disliking the Lawman and feeling sympathy for the criminals. After all, Maddox is a killer too, as he readily admits. The difference is that Maddox's job is to protect the law under the very difficult circumstances of trans-Pecos Texas in 1887. Since humans are not by nature just or lawful (for why would we need "the law" otherwise?) the guardian of the law cannot himself be just (by the ambiguous and selfish standards of the demos) or there would be no legal order. When facing men willing to use force and other illegal means to evade the law, the Lawman must have extraordinary means at his disposal. The function of the Lawman is not be to moral as such but rather to make it possible for others to be moral. We find this distasteful because of our belief in "equality" and other nonsensical Enlightenment anthropological concepts. It is indeed an awesome responsibility to be the guardian of the law under such circumstances. At least in this case, however, the Lawman is up to it. He will not be bought-off or bullied. Lawman the film is Shane, High Noon and Rio Bravo rolled into one, and better than all of them precisely because of its realistic view and assessment of human depravity.

Those familiar with Eastwood's Unforgiven will notice some striking similarities. The writer of Unforgiven (David Webb Peoples) had doubtlessly seen Lawman and paraphrases some of the dialogue. For example, "being fast don't count for much." The difference between Lawman and Unforgiven is that Maddox is clearly the protagonist of the film, whereas in Unforgiven the Lawman, Little Bill, attempts to adapt his behavior to the moral standards of the community and thus becomes "morally ambiguous." Maddox, however, is not interested in conformity to anything but his duty. What makes Lawman a better film than Unforgiven is that it does not attempt to play on present day sympathaties. Lawman scorns identity politics and the over-all moralizing atmosphere of Unforgiven. In Lawman there is the hint of the feeling of loss for the time when a man could so unreservedly stand and devote himself to his duty as Maddox does.

Superb Film--BUT DON'T BUY THIS VERSION! FAKE WIDESCREEN!
Superb acting, superb directing, superb dialogue. . . feel free to read my rave of the version with the same cover, ASIN 079283853X. The movie is so good, I had to give it 5 stars even with what I'm about to write.

This "widescreen" version is an incredibly blatant ripoff. All they did was chop off the top and bottom of the already reduced TV image. Let me stress: YOU GET NOTHING EXTRA ON THIS VIDEO, AND YOU LOSE LOTS! It's such a shame because this movie deserves widescreen release. So in the meantime, buy 079283853X :-)!

Astoundingly Underrated--Brilliant, Complex--One Caution
First, the caution: the "widescreen" VHS version is a sham! It doesn't show you the actual original widescreen film, it simply chops off the top and bottom of the already reduced TV image! So just buy the regular VHS or the DVD,and make some noise on chat boards and elsewhere till they release a true widescreen version of this beautiful, beautiful film.

Okay, this is the longest review I've ever written, but here's why. I watch a LOT of movies (I'm a film and lit prof). IMHO, this is the most underrated film I've ever seen.

First off, DON'T THINK OF THIS FILM AS A WESTERN! If you do, you'll miss out on a great artistic experience, and that would be a shame. It is a film that, among several other things, bravely challenges the macho ethic while presenting characters of enormous moral ambiguity, all the while featuring a) some of my favorite direction ever, and b) simply unmatchable acting. Oh yeah, it takes place in the West :-).

Winner's directing is incredibly thought-provoking, literally second-by-second. Never, ever have I seen a more thoughtfully directed film--every once in a while he over-thinks, but it's more than forgivable. Just two of many elements: The cuts from scene to scene are ALL great, and there are no wasted moments, everything provokes thought.

Two examples: 1. Two macho guys are talking about all the land they own, and this weird flute theme slowly rises, creating an odd dissonance--suddenly we cut to a mouth playing the flute, then we realize it's Lancaster: Mr. Macho himself, out to get the other two, but differentiated from them through his flute playing--yet he then has to grab a gun because of a simple knock on the door, and we're reminded of his reality, and then we're presented with the sad irony of his throwing open the door and pointing the gun at his long-lost love...just moment after moment after moment, nothing wasted. 2. A shot of the marshal in bed with a prostitute jumpcuts to a close-up of a beautiful desert flower on a cactus, a subtle echo of both the dissipated marshal and the prostitute--but it's not a gratuitous shot, because behind the flower we then see 4 guys riding in to the climax of the film. Every symbol or image in this film is neatly tied in with the action: nothing feels cheap or forced. Virtually every scene is as thoughtfully constructed as the two moments I just described.

The moral complexity of the film. Everybody has a different reaction to this film, and that reaction tells the viewer something about him/herself--what more do you want from art? (Aside from that it entertain, which this film does.) Most of my students find themselves defending a group of men who begin the film by randomly shooting and burning a small town and are so arrogant that they then refuse to attend even a sham trial. Winner achieves these myriad reactions through his brilliant work with Lancaster, Cobb, and Ryan, all of whom are as multilayered as one could hope for in 100 minutes. For me, Lancaster's character is a near-hero, yet I understand why many of my students despise him. Rarely, very rarely, is a U.S.-studio film this morally complex and ambiguous.

The acting. The first scene between Lancaster and Ryan consists of two marshals standing around talking about a case for about four minutes, essentially giving necessary background plot--not the stuff of riveting cinema, right? Yet it's without question one of my favorite scenes in film history. That's how good the acting is in this film. Lancaster puts across sarcasm and disgust with a subtlety few others can equal, concluding, "Just good cowboy fun. (pause) They killed an old man." Ryan's weathered, cynical face takes on the slightest bit of interest as he says, "Kin?" These are two guys who have transcended the cliches of their acting generation and simply become uniquely superb actors. Don't expect Method (and I've nothing against Method!); just expect Lancaster and Ryan at their absolute peak. Same with Cobb, and the supporting cast is just about perfect, led by Richard Jordan and Sheree North. (An aside: a strong case can be made that North's character--essentially the only woman with a speaking role in the film--is the most admirable, strong, and intelligent person in the film: another thing that sets this apart from typical "Westerns," or typical anything!)

I've found in my studies that it's pretty random what gets labelled a "classic" and what gets forgotten--it has so much to do with studio politics of the time, what other films came out that week, how a film is promoted (the promo for Lawman is horrid), the personal taste of the hip critics, etc. If you like thoughtful, beautifully acted and directed films, PLEASE GIVE THIS FILM A CHANCE: I think you'll like it! Thanks for reading this whole thing :-)! ... Read more

Dated, but interesting
Although the setting is somewhat dated, some of the points this film makes about our legal system still hold up. The acting is very good. Most of the supporting roles are a bit stereotypical (free wheeling hippie, uptight "square" lawyer, prejudiced grandmother etc.) but the acting is good enough to forgive that. The main drawback for me is that I found the ending unsatisfying. But even so, it's still an unusual movie to see (with alot of familiar faces in it) and I can definitely recommend it.

Worth renting
Somewhat interesting story about a man who's life suddenly turns upside down. Barbara Hershey is hot! ... Read more

A Must-See Film
I'm not white nor black but this film has completely captivated me. A very inspiring film about slavery...I have not really understood the subject until I've viewed this film. Wish I could have rated this one more than five stars though.

Roots: by Alex Haley
Although I struggle to journey back in time to find my family roots, I am always sidewined by unpublished or no documentation for exsistance of my family name. I am like a woman lost in the great melting pot of American society with no real since of who I am or where I'm originated. Nevertheless, I had one aunt that lived till she was 114 years old. She told me our family name was Jefferson from Tennessee. My famly moved from this state to Texas with a white slave owning family. After my aunt died in 1992 I could always remember her telling me to go down the road. It took me seven years before I went down the road and the day I did - I found the plantation where my family worked and sharecrop. The plantation is a historical site and the Jefferson name is mentioned in the plaque. However, they have no record of the slaves they brought in from Tennessee. The great-great-grand daughter said she remembered my aunt the year I first set out down the road and inquired. The woman said my aunt use to be her mammy. The next year she could not remember if my family was slaves at her family plantation. Again I say, unpublished or no documentation of my family exsistence. I beleive America has melted the black society into a goop of undocumented mess. If some are like me, I would like to know about my family history, heritage and how they obtain their freedom. Celebrating Black history, the movie Roots, by Alex Haley have a deep meaning to me. I try, and I try to understand why it had to happen. Slavery put an emity between blacks and whites. No good became of it. Most people inherited the hate that rings on both sides. Is their a common ground to bring peace between us? I believe so. It starts with Roots.

A must for everyone to see!
Great movie on the history of a family that was faced with generations of slavery. A very touching movie on a races struggle to freedom.

Excellent Drama
How would I get all volumes of the movie? I have been able to obtain 4 volumes at this time but am having trouble obtaining the remaining volumes; I believe their may be 8 or 12 volumes.Any information would be appreciated! ... Read more

Conan of the West
Without Charles Bronson, this would be a three star movie at best. The plot is simple, like a slasher movie in the Old West. Bronson, ever effective as an Indian (remember Drumbeat as Captain Jack?), kills off a posse one by one. The posse is filled with well-known character actors and of these, Jack Palance stands out. Palance is the leader of the group in name only, and his relations with the others is the most interesting. He was certainly an under-used actor as he matured, but this was a good role for him.
Bronson gets to display probably the best over 50 physique in the world (maybe under 50 too, for that matter). It may have been Frank Frazetta who said that the perfect actor for the role of Conan would be a 6'5" Charles Bronson. With little if any character development for Chato, his impressive physique is necessary to establish him as a force of nature, being more in his element as the land becomes harsher and more unforgiving.
For Bronson fans, this is just what we want: a man of few words, but lots of muscle, whuppin' up on an unjust world.

`Back off, Lawman.'
With those three words of unheeded warning (possibly the longest continuous sentence Bronson has in this picture), the Mimbreno Apache Chato(Charles Bronson) begins an elusive flight from a motley posse of citizens led by an ex-Confederate captain (Jack Palance) seeking to punish him for the killing of a white man into the barren wilderness of the Arizona desert.

This is a great minimalist western with a fine cast (particularly the three villainous Hooker brothers - Simon `the psychologist from Psycho' Oakland, John `Papa Walton' Waite, and Richard `Duncan Idaho of Dune' Jordan). Bronson here is less of a character than a force of nature who, when pursued to his limits (and after giving his hunters ample chances to turn back, slitting their waterskins, running off their horses, and generally discouraging them), turns on the posse and starts eliminating them one at a time.

The strength of this western is the writing. All of the posse members, though most of them are unlikable, are well-fleshed out. The three over-sexed, bickering brothers (whose familial loyalty ultimately leads to their destruction), the silent but apt Mexican tracker, and the two foreigners who are among the first to realize this vengeance quest has spiraled well beyond its origin (`For God's sake, don't call it justice...' says Roddy McMillian's Scottish farmer and `We don't belong here, Gavin,' says Paul Young's Irishman). Palance is a standout as the Confederate captain who seems at first to take pleasure in the hunt and leading men again, but who gradually loses control of his subordinates.

As stated, Bronson is more of a cunning force to be feared when he is shown at all, but he does bring a concrete humanity to his Apache fugitive, particularly in the scene where he is reunited with his family in their desert stronghold. He exudes strength, and his physique and countenance seem to have been cut from the sandstone all around. He seems absolutely inscrutable (as the land is to the white men), but when he dispenses death, there is a cold certainty in his expressions.

Good locations - abandoned wickiups, empty desert, jumbled stone and cavernous arroyos all the washed out color of a bone long in the sun makes it seem as if these men have ridden right into hell (but then this `hell' is Chato's land). There's a great line where Palance observes that `white men see a land where nothing grows...they call it hell and give it no further thought. But to the Apache, this land speaks to him, whispers to him. He expects nothing from it...' (paraphrasing). The tried and true `hunters become the hunted formula' with a meaningful undertone that sets it above the usual fare. Great film with a memorable open ending. Does he or doesn't he? Recommended for Bronson fans. This is one of his better flicks.

Must have for Bronson fans
Excellent Bronson flic. It's not hard to see how Bronson and Winner moved onto the Death Wish story line with a plot like this.

It's an amusing game to spot parallels between scenes in Bruce Lee films and Bronson's. Lee was a huge Bronson fan and copied moves and even clothing from many of Bronson's movies.

It is indeed, Chato's Land
Excellent western which follows a posse on the trail of an Apache halfbreed (Bronson). While he is an omnipresent aspect of the story, Bronson has few lines, and is not on-screen for more than a few minutes in the entire film. The story is primarily about the posse, a mixed bag of local citizens, civil war veterans, and sadistic racists. Their steady deterioration into basal chaos is the real crux of the movie. There are both good and bad men among them, and their interactions make the film compelling, in spite of a few flaws. The skilled cast includes Jack Palance, Simon Oakland, Richard Basehart, Ralph Waite, Victor French, Richard Jordan and James Whitmore. Strongly recommended for fans of gritty action and well-drawn characters. ... Read more

A decade of the waltons
I would love to see the entire series of The Waltons released on DVD. I have been searching for this for a long time. Hopefully with all the fans out there it will become a reality.
