This is the most comprehensive of Disney collections, though the Classic Disney series is more up to date. Spread across three discs, the set features hits and forgotten favorites from movies, TV, and the parks (although more thorough work remains to be done in the last regard). Since the Disney catalog is in a state of constant change, this is the only place to get some songs that aren’t currentl…

As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes, the Jones features tapped into Lucas’s extremely profitable Star Wars formula of modernizing the look and feel o…
Just the name “Orient Express” conjures images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie’s delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie’s delightfully persnickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this …
Jean-Jacques Annaud’s The Name of the Rose is a flawed attempt to adapt Umberto Eco’s highly convoluted medieval bestseller for the screen, necessarily excising much of the esoterica that made the book so compelling. Still, what’s left is a riveting whodunit set in a grimly and grimily realistic 14th-century Benedictine monastery populated by a parade of grotesque characters, all of whom spend the…
History comes alive in this excellent Emmy and Humanitas Award-nominated 40-episode, animated series about the experiences of two young teens during the American Revolution. Far more than a simple chronicle of the battles and major events of the American Revolution, Liberty’s Kids tells the story of the cultural, scientific, political, and social forces that helped shape America’s fight for indepe…
Purportedly one of Walt Disney’s most personal pet projects, Darby O’Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby O’Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he’s more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, …
The decade of 1988-1998 was the Golden Age of VHS, a time when anybody with a pulse, a camcorder, and a few bucks could market a video. Comedy writers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher have spent the last 20 years collecting the best odd and unintentionally hilarious videotapes ever produced. Since 2004, they’ve resurrected them for sold-out audiences across the country as part of their touring show, the Found Footage Festival. Now, for the very first time, they’ve collected the greatest VHS covers into one handsome compendium—along with their priceless snarky commentary throughout.
Sean Connery’s creation of secret agent James Bond invigorated Britain and its cinema, allowing a cash-strapped, morale-sapped country in decline to fancy itself still a player on the world stage. But while Bond would make Connery the first actor to command a million dollar-plus fee, the man himself was forever pouring scorn on the fantasies audiences found it increasingly hard to separate him from. Undaunted, Connery went on to prove himself one of the cinema’s most relaxed and assured stars and a guaranteed box-office draw. Moulding and remoulding his image to fit the contours of the age, Connery has gone from Sadeian Sixties sex symbol to the sagacious magus figure to which today’s young stars are forever turning. Spirited, argumentative and sardonically celebratory, Christopher Bray’s SEAN CONNERY is both a biography of a star and an investigation of what can happen to a man when the images he creates take over his life. And it’s an analysis of what it means to be star-struck a critical tribute to a secular icon who has shaped so many dreams.

back in the day before wrestlemania Jesse “the body” vs hogan…who would have been more famous?
I wonder if Jesse the body Ventura would have remained if he would have taken the spot light becasue they both started off with the same height weight wrestling styles and exact look. bleached fu man chu and long hair with bald head….
Hogan definitely is the better choice. Hogan was a much better in-ring performer & no one….absolutely no one….in the mid-80’s hayday of the WWF could electrify the crowd like he could. Jesse “The Body” was also getting to banged up from injuries & his turning to the announcing table was the best thing that happened to him. He told it like it was…plus look at his run of movies with Arnold….The Running Man & Predator were pretty good flicks in their day…& to top it off, he was a color man for the Minnesota Vikings Radio Broadcast team & of course, became the Governor of MN. Not bad at all for a former pro wrestler.
Both guys are true hall of famers & I am so glad everything turned out like it did…for both of them.
Jesse McCartney – Body Language [NEW FULL VERSION]
At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston’s character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn’t end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstr…

Transplanted L.A. cop Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) attempts to solve the murder of a teenage girl while simultaneously dealing with a deadly case of domestic violence in this mystery that marks the third cinematic outing for novelist Robert B. Parker’s eponymous detective. Having recently settled into his position as the police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, Stone is troubled to learn that the body of a former straight-A student has been found floating in a nearby lake. Later, as Stone delves ever deeper into the case, he finds that the girl had grown increasingly self-destructive in her last days and that her parents hadn’t even bothered to report her missing. His investigation around the quiet New England town yielding little to go on, Stone ventures into the city to search for clues and has a frightening brush with the Boston mob. With every inquiry Stone makes, he appears to be moving farther away from the truth than ever before. Though a disturbing instance of explosive domestic violence momentarily distracts the detective from the task at hand, Stone’s determination quickly turns to obsession when he begins to feel as if he may finally be on track to solving the case. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Lady Frankenstein – When Dr. Frankenstein is killed by a monster he created, his daughter and his lab assistant Marshall continue his experiments. The two fall in love and attempt to transplant Marshall’s brain. Meanwhile, the first monster seeks revenge on the grave robbers who sold the body parts used in its creation to Dr. Frankenstein. Soon it comes after Marshall and the doctor’s daughter. Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter – Legendary outlaw of the Old West Jesse James, on the run from Marshal MacPhee, hides out in the castle of Baron Frankenstein’s granddaughter Maria, who proceeds to transform Jesse’s slow-witted pal Hank into a bald zombie, which she names Igor.
First-born son Jesse Cody is proud of his place in the close-knit Cody family. But everything he's worked for is on the line when he falls for Janie Hansen. The alluring former tomboy is the sister of his rival for World Champion Bull Rider…a man who also happens to be the older brother he never knew he had. Janie has loved Jesse all her life. And one romantic week in December at the National Finals Rodeo tells her he returns the feeling—and then some! She couldn't ask for a better Christmas present than being the sexy cowboy's wife. But the long-buried secret threatening to divide the Codys forever could also tear apart their newfound romance. When the dust settles, can Jesse step up and prove he's worthy of the Cody name—and Janie's love—not just for the holidays, but forever?.
William “One Shot” Beaudine’s companion piece to the equally nonsensical Billy the Kid vs. Dracula represents a memorable closing to the eccentric “Z”-movie auteur’s amusing body of work. The hare-brained concept finds the legendary outlaw Jesse James (John Lupton) stumbling into the decrepit lair of Maria Frankenstein (Narda Onyx) — not the daughter but the granddaughter of the infamous monster-making Baron. Maria is, of course, following in Grandpa’s footsteps by creating a creature of her own, transplanting the dormant but still-intact brain of Frankenstein’s original monster into the body of one of James’ cohorts. The lumbering, homicidal monster — imaginatively dubbed “Igor” — begins terrorizing townsfolk until the inevitable showdown between living and undead gunslingers. Though not as flamboyantly awful as its predecessor (mainly due to the absence of John Carradine), this is still worth a look for trash-movie completists. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi
Cover girl Jesse has incredible eyes and a lush body that she likes to show to men. Elegant and earthy, she delights in displaying her long, luxurious nylon-clad legs and teasing in a totally sheer blouse that barely covers her beautiful breasts. She sensuously undresses until she reveals her gorgeous young body and slips into luscious solo pleasuring. Young starlet Samantha is sleek and lovely, and transforms herself from a prim slinky leg goddess in lingerie to a cleavage baring brazen slut. She displays her perfect legs and feet in a pair of Classic Lady Antiques and then scorches the camera as she indulges in her secret solo passion. Gorgeous big-busted blonde Carolyn Monroe and girlfriend Stacy Burke worship their nylon beauty as they undress each other and succumb to their undeniable lesbian desires.
Smalltime police chief and struggling alcoholic Jesse Stone looks into the murder of a teenage girl whose body is found floating in a local lake.

Why do U.S. censors allow the word “Shag” in a movie title? (ref. The Spy Who Shagged Me)?
Doesn’t the word shag essentially mean f*#k or more nicely put, intercourse, in America? They also don’t seem to mind the use of the word “pussy” in the UK made program “Are You Being Served?” which is shown on U.S. public broadcast stations. Am I wrong or is there a double standard?
Shagged is not a curse word, inappropriate maybe but not a curse word like F**K.
If that was the case then “Sex In The City” should be censored too and even “Knocked Up” since they both imply a sexual nature to the movie.
Call Him ‘Mini Me’ – Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
Mike Myers’s love letter to mid-’60s pop kitsch (and understated critique of the hardcore ’90s) may not have wowed many critics, but it soldiered quirkily along to become a true cult hit. Its soundtrack is one of the film’s more underrated charms–a savvy mix of ’60s and ’90s influences that are by turns infectiously silly (the Powers-fronted Ming Tea’s earnestly energetic “BBC”) and downright sub…

If you don’t think Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) is one of the funniest movies of the 1990s, maybe you should be packed into a cryogenic time chamber and sent back to the decade whence you came. Perhaps it was the 1960s–the shagadelic decade when London hipster Austin Powers scored with gorgeous chicks as a fashion photographer by day, crime-fighting international man of myst…

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me has an interesting mix of ’60s cover songs and ’90s songs that were influenced by that era, much like the Austin Powers soundtrack, and although this sequel has less charm and enthusiasm than the first Austin Powers album, its highlights make it memorable. Several heavy hitters don’t quite deliver on the soundtrack: Lenny Kravitz does a funky, guitar-heavy remake of the Guess Who’s “American Woman” that never really erupts like it should, while R.E.M. does a smooth but somewhat uninspired version of Tommy James’ “Draggin the Line.” The Who unnecessarily redo their own “My Generation,” and inexplicably, Melanie B (Scary Spice) does a version of “Word Up” (what does this 1986 song have to do with the ’60s?) that takes all the funk out of Cameo’s groovy hit. The real highlights are Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger” (mixed by William Orbit, who produced Ray of Light), which has a wonderful Beatles-meets-techno-lite feel; Quincy Jones’ spacy redux of “Soul Bossa Nova”; and Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello’s classy and classic “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” Even Dr. Evil has his own track — “Just the Two of Us,” his own introspective take on the Will Smith hit (which was a remake of the Bill Withers tune) — that pokes fun at Oprah and Jerry Maguire while praising Mini Me. These standouts make Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me a worthy purchase for fans of the Powers films and the ’60s sound celebrated in them. ~ Gina Boldman, Rovi Performers: Joey Waronker – Drums; Madonna – Vocals
Austin Powers — fashion photographer, denizen of Swingin’ London, international espionage agent, and bane of dental hygienists everywhere — returns in his second screen adventure. Powers (once again played by Mike Myers), a 1960s superspy stranded in the 1990s, discovers that his nemesis, criminal genius Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers), has somehow stolen his “mojo” (the secret to his otherwise inexplicable sex appeal) and traveled back in time to the 1960s as part of his latest fiendish scheme. Powers must also travel back in time to retrieve it, but if Austin doesn’t quite fit into 1998, he’s been there just long enough not to fit in in 1968 anymore, either. Powers also discovers that Dr. Evil has new allies this time: Mini-Me (Verne Troyer), a clone of Dr. Evil one-eighth his size but just as nasty; Fat Bastard (Myers yet again), whose name describes him just fine; and vixenish assassin Robin Swallows (Gia Carides). Powers’ lack of mojo also proves troublesome when he’s paired with his new partner, saucy CIA operative Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). Other characters returning from the first film include Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington, Robert Wagner as Number Two, Michael York as Basil Exposition, Seth Green as Scott Evil, and Mindy Sterling as Frau Farbissina. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me also includes cameo appearances from Tim Robbins, Jerry Springer, Woody Harrelson, and Burt Bacharach with his current songwriting partner, Elvis Costello. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
