DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "After years of longing for the series to be released, I'm thrilled that it is available at last -- and that it still holds up as a gripping experience despite the intervening decade of increasingly sophisticated supernatural TV series." Quote: "Although fans of the play will probably appreciate it more than Shakespeare neophytes, the only mandatory viewer requirements are a sense of humor and a willingness to suspend your disbelief." Quote: "Elegance is not a quality that zombie movies are known for, but it describes I Walked with a Zombie, which holds a place of distinction as one of Lewton's finest works and one of the most effective horror films of the 1930s." Quote: "The dullest movie about grave robbers I've ever seen, The Doctor and the Devils is a waste of both a fine cast and one of English history's most gruesome true crime stories." Quote: "A genuinely heartwarming experience, this Cinderella has established its place in the fairy-tale pantheon; for better or worse, it simply is the story of Cinderella for countless viewers." Quote: "In Georgia, where I grew up and still live, Catholics are scarce on the ground, and as a consequence Catholicism is as alien to me as the planet Mars. But despite my ignorance -- or perhaps even because of it -- I found Brides of Christ an intriguing, surprising, and illuminating experience." Quote: "Whether or not you generally like Garbo -- or even if you've never even seen a Garbo film before -- you can enjoy Ninotchka. It's simply one of the wittiest, most delightful comedies of Hollywood's golden age." Quote: "Due in part to the performances, the 'romance' between the two leads is more like therapy than ecstasy." Quote: "A child's voice sings of sorrow and death. Birds chirp in the darkness before dawn. A woman clasps trembling hands in prayer. So begins The Innocents, one of the finest ghost stories on film ever made." Quote: "I'm not a fan of war films in general, but The Man Who Never Was was fascinating viewing. I particularly liked that it showed a side of war that I don't usually hear about: the careful thought, preparation, and downright cunning that goes into victory." |
