From the moment Thurl Ravenscroft intoned, "Gold doubloons and pieces of eight/ Handed down to Applegate," "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure" became one of the best-loved serials on the The Mickey Mouse Club, second only to "The Adventures of Spin and Marty." Gifted young actors Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk make a believable pair of adolescent sleuths: Frank and Joe Hardy want to follow in the footsteps of their father, private detective Fenton Hardy. Summer vacation in the little town of Bayport seems boring until Frank and Joe run into Perry Robinson, a new kid in their neighborhood, who them leads into the search for the long-lost pirate treasure of local eccentric Silas Applegate. There's plenty of low-key daring-do, suitably sinister villains, misread clues, and wholesome comedy to keep young children (or grandchildren) occupied while Baby Boomers delight in recalling how they enjoyed the adventure in the mid-'50s.

The extras include the entire Mickey Mouse Club show from Oct. 1, 1956, when Considine and Kirk presented a preview of the new serial, and a short feature on how the Disney crew adapted the popular boys' books to television. Host Leonard Maltin conducts an agreeable interview with a disconcertingly aged Considine and Kirk. This Disney Treasure is a must-have for viewers who grew up during the '50s--or younger audiences who want discover the answer to the question, "Now where are those gold doubloons and pieces of eight?" (Rated G, suitable for ages 5 and older: mild violence) --Charles Solomon

Description

THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB'S magical mix of entertainment was so captivating to television's first generation of children, watching it became a daily ritual. And so the first day of the show's second season, millions thrilled to the debut of a new adventure series, THE HARDY BOYS: THE MYSTERY OF THE APPLEGATE Treasure. All the cliff-hanging suspense unfolds right here, including the entire MICKEY MOUSE CLUB episode that introduced the series. Plus, you'll get clued in to the truth behind the novels' author Franklin W. Dixon, and you'll witness the reunion of Tim Considine (Frank Hardy) and Tommy Kirk (Joe Hardy) at the scene of the crime -- Stage 2 at the Disney Studio.

Making Memories After 50 Years.......2007-06-21

My two sons and I just finished watching my Father's Day gift - Disney's Hardy Boys DVD. They were thrilled with it - covering their eyes during exciting/scary moments, laughing at the jokes, singing along to the infectious theme song.
I love the fact that my boys - ages 6 and 7 - can get so much enjoyment out of a 50-year-old TV serial. With all the Spongebob, Drake & Josh and other modern kids' shows they watch, it pleases me that they can appreciate "classic" shows from decades past. This includes shows from my youth - Scooby Doo, et. al. - as well as stuff that predates me - Huckleberry Hound, Johnny Quest, Casper the Ghost and, now, The Hardy Boys.
As soon as it was over, they asked if there were any other Mickey Mouse Club serials we could get. The Spin and Marty DVD will probably be an upcoming birthday or Christmas gift.
Bottom line, this is a great, fun, wholesome show that most elementary age boys will love - and maybe some moms & dads too.

The Hardy Boys at their best!!!.......2007-06-10

Simply the best Hardy Boys on the screen ever. I can't wait for the second epiosode set.

Back to the good old days.......2007-05-09

Baby boomers who remember rushing home every day to watch the Mickey Mouse Club and the latest installment of "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure" will find this a real nostalgia trip. I don't know how well it will pass muster with today's kids, but this 50-something was surprised at how well the episodes hold up. Back then, I had a huge crush on Carol Ann Campbell, who played the Hardys' neighbor Iola Morton. Now that I see her again, I remember why. Wonder what ever happened to her?

Hardy Boys DVD.......2007-05-07

I have the Spin and Marty series and just bought the Hardy Boys series. I hope Disney releases more of these series.

A Quintessential piece of 50's Americana.......2007-04-20

The years that this serial appeared on the Mickey Mouse Club --- 1956 and 1957 --- have often been described as the last innocent years of the Baby Boom. Atomic energy was still our friend, Korea was over and Vietnam had not yet started; the space race was about to begin, and Ford offered us two classics: the Fairlane and the T-bird. Considine and Kirk gave us relatable performances as Frank and Joe Hardy. Despite an obviously limited budget, the show was well-crafted and holds up in back-to-back viewing (as host Leonard Maltin acknowledges). A flood of memories came back to me when watching this (I hadn't seen the Disney Hardy Boys since their original air dates), and yet more than nostalgia compelled me to smile. This was classic work from the Disney studios, all the more amazing since it was mostly shot on enclosed sets! The extra features are a little skimpy, but the interview with Considine and Kirk as they are today, almost makes up for that. This will sit proudly on my shelf next to Spin and Marty. Now let's hope the Annette and the second Spin and Marty aren't far behind, along with "Ghost Farm."

Amazon.com

Comparisons to Dead Poets Society are inevitable, but The Emperor's Club achieves a rich identity all its own. In the honorable tradition of great teacher dramas like Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Kevin Kline is well cast as Mr. Hundert, longtime teacher of classics and assistant headmaster of St. Benedict's Academy for Boys. There he encounters a defiant student and senator's son (Emile Hirsch) who desperately needs--but ultimately rejects--Hundert's lessons on leadership, integrity, and the shaping of character. Adapted from Ethan Canin's short story "The Palace Thief," the film is conventional to a fault, its flashback structure unfolding in Hollywood shorthand. But its noble sentiments remain potently intact, allowing Kline a performance of great emotional nuance while imparting lessons of universal value. "This is a story with no surprises," as Hundert says, but The Emperor's Club may surprise you with its admirable portrait of a life well lived. --Jeff Shannon

Excellent!!!.......2007-06-17

Why don't they make more quality movies like "The Emperor's Club"? A great family movie.

Kevin Kline's Best Starring Role Yet.......2007-03-14

Kevin Kline has been something of a Hollywood mystery. Up until recently, he was an actor who excelled in supporting roles such as his Academy Award winning performance in A Fish Called Wanda. However, his performances in starring roles have generally been flat.

However, with The Emperor's Club , Kline has turned the corner with starring roles. Kline's excellent performance in this movie could be due to the unusually high quality of the script and other elements that constitute this movie.

For instance, the high schoolers in this movie actually look like high school age youth instead of a bunch of 20-somethings. Unlike most movies about educators, this movie is not about English class. Instead, it is about the decidedly untrendy subject of classical studies. The Emperor's Club is about a good man who would have fit in perfectly with 1950's society trying to impart the importance of classical learning and such classical standards as duty, honor and discipline, to the youth of the 1970's.

The Emperor's Club showcases Kevin Kline's best ever performance in a starring role and that combined with other excellent elements such as the script and Edward Herrmann's outstanding performance as a headmaster makes for a truly outstanding movie.

Very inspirational with a lot of good lessons.......2007-02-28

A very inspirational movie with
a lot of great lessons for
the young and old.

The Best Movie I Have Ever Seen!.......2007-01-25

I thought "The Emperor's Club" was one of the best movies I've ever seen. It taught me a lot of valuable life lessons. Such as to do the right thing. To be respectful to others and to listen to your teacher or mentor.

Cheaters Never Prosper or Do They?.......2006-09-29

This is a great film and rates only 4 stars because it is not without some flaws but those flaws are minor in comparison to the message the film brings. On the negative side the subplots are thin and not explored. The motivation for some of the action is missing or only implied. Kevin Kline is an excellent actor but because he must substitute expression for dialog he frequently comes across as suffering from acute constipation. BUT THIS IS A GREAT FILM -- especially today when cheating is so rampant and seems to be so accepted.

The movie rests on three moral issues. The teacher is highly motivated and truly believes in morality, virtue, dedication, and service to others. When confronted with a student with great potential but poor values and worse motivation, he compromises in order he thinks to salvage the student. The headmaster when confronted with the knowledge that there has been cheating elects to ignore it. Should the teacher expose the cheater for what he is? The cheater only believes in winning at any cost and if that cost is cheating then so be it, because he places no value on honor, integrity, or honesty. Is a life built on sham, selfishness,and devoid of virtue and honor worthy of respect? Is the price of cheating paid in self-respect? Can hyprocrisy substitute for honor, commitment, and integrity? These questions are mostly left open for the audience to decide and for this reason this is a great movie to watch with your teenage children or even young adults. Too often the temptation to cheat in order to win seems like the easy path and others that take that path -- as they do in this movie -- seem to be the winers in life, but at what cost? This movie explores that question without preaching or even providing an answer. Anyone who believes in honor, virtue, and fair play should see this movie.

Completey informative and interesting.......2007-07-01

Watched it three times in the course of the first week I owned it. What can I say? We follow Neil and Chris through their childhoods, into the period when they met each other, and follow them through each album.
Inciteful and fun, we see the concepts behind each PSB release, including projects they did for other artists like Liza MInnelli and Dusty Springfield.
The film takes us right through their musical "Closer to heaven", the performance of "Battleship Potemkin", and their latest album "Fundamental"... right up to today basically!
Includes commentary by Liza Minnelli, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, Bruce Weber, and of course, a lengthy interview with both Boys.
Fabulous for any Petheads collection.

Enjoyable and sincere documentary.......2007-04-20

Usually I have no patience for documenaries but I enjoyed watching this one, maybe because the content is so relevant - the band, after all, is still making fantastic music. As if to prove that, the DVD bonus features include recent videos along some old rare TV perfomances.

The narration goes through candid interviews or rather edited monologues of Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant filmed together and separately (watch Lowe walking on the gloomy beach in his hometown, Tennant's silhouette as London is fading away in the twilight behind the window). It's quite intriguing to see them talk about the essence of their distinctive image, music and career nuances. The timeline is supported, throughout the film, by extracts of their videos and various TV footage. Plus, as usually, you have a little variety of guests: Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Robbie Williams, Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, Trevor Horn and others.

The only inconsistency I find is that after the Behaviour era the documentary speeds up its pace and Bilingual, Nighlife (especially) and Release periods are covered quite superficially.

In a way the DVD audiovisually duplicates 'Pet Shop Boys Catalogue', a massive book by Chris Heath.

Just to clear up the confusion, I ordered the UK PAL version and noticed that the sleeve omitted listing the Flamboyant video. However, when I played the disc, I was delighted to discover that Flamboyant was indeed on the DVD. Just order the UK version, and you will be fine.

"Let them get a little closer, Neil". "Oh, no, Chris. Let's keep them guessing!!!".......2007-03-12

Every documentary the boys release just reach to feed the great wall of mistery around them.
Out of touch, they have achieved a star quality that reminds me of the legendary 40's and 50's stars.
What would I give to see them jumping into a pool, or chewing a sandwich, or getting drunk with friends...to see they're human and fallible...
I love their work and approach to music, culture and life in general terms, but as I grow older, I would appreciate if the quitted their impenetrability.

The DVD is great, interesting, wit, and their presence impeccable.
Fans won't learn much about them, but it's nice to have fresh news about the most intelligent, refined duo of our time. And, have you noticed how notorious their influence has becomed these days? Is it good they're getting related to Robbie and the old bitch (a.k.a. Madonna)? Not sure...

NOT YOUR EVERYDAY CONCERT VIDEO.......2007-05-14

I remember seeing this concert live many many years ago. My friend and I both commented on how it was totally not what we expected, but still worth the money we paid for the tickets. PSB has always done the unexpected.

A first-rate Performance.......2005-10-24

I was fortunate enough to see the Pet Shop Boys in concert during this concert tour in Chicago, in 1990. This is the same concert that they took on the road around the world, and was very true to the performance that I saw, which was very thrilling. This was no simple concert - the fans of the Pet Shop Boys, having come to expect much from them in terms of quality and innovation, were treated to a concert performance that was part music video, part Broadway/West End music, part modern opera, and part simple, old-fashioned concert singing. Something for everyone, indeed.

The music quality on this is superb - despite being a `live' performance video, the music has been enhanced and corrected to allow for the best possible quality. This is very much a live performance, but with the kind of technical skill and back-up that the music of the Pet Shop Boys requires (Neil Tennant once made the comment that the Pet Shop Boys were probably never going to be able to `make it live' because of the technological requirements for their songs.

The songs include the following:
This must be the place I waited years to leave
It's a sin
Losing my mind
What have I done to deserve this?
My October symphony
I'm not scared
We all feel better in the dark
So sorry, I said
Suburbia
So hard
Opportunities (let's make lots of money)
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
Rent
Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)
West End girls
Jealousy
Always on my mind
Your funny uncle

The DVD has a complete performance of the whole concert; those watching the video will notice a modified `Where the streets have no name' because of some sort of licensing dispute with the song copyright owners.

The choreography is stunning, as are the sets, costumes and production values. Eric Watson, who has worked with the PSB more often than any other director for their videos, is also the director here. Other performers include vocals by Sylvia Mason-James, Pam Sheyne, and Derek Green; Scott Davidson and J.J. Belle provide additional instrumental back-up (both have worked with the PSB frequently).

This is a very postmodern performance in many ways, and one that has details that come out only upon repeated viewings.

Pet Shop Boys - Performance.......2005-09-28

I did not think it would be possible to make this show even better, but that has been accomplished by this DVD. It looks and sounds amaizing! and the commentary alone makes this DVD a must for any PSB fan.

Classic '91 "concert" finally on DVD.......2005-08-04

Filmed over the course of three evenings at the Birmingham NEC in 1991, "Performance" features the Pet Shop Boys in top form, showcasing some of their greatest songs. I hesitate to say "singing," as this is, as the title suggests, a performance piece. Lavish sets, garish costumes, and a calvacade of dancers and backup singers make this a needed addition to any PSB fan's collection. While it is an import and carries a bit of a fee, it's well worth buying; wonderfully remastered and presented in 5.1 surround, "Performance" has quickly become one of my favorite live concert DVDs.
The tracklisting is as follows:
This must be the place I waited years to leave
It's a sin
Losing my mind
What have I done to deserve this?
My October symphony
I'm not scared
We all feel better in the dark
So sorry, I said
Suburbia
So hard
Opportunities (let's make lots of money)
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
Rent
Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)
West End girls
Jealousy
Always on my mind
Your funny uncle

While "Performance" has been available on VHS for some time, it lacked the inclusion of "Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you) due to legal reasons; it is great to have the complete show. The weakest track would be "What have I done to deserve this" and that is only due to Dusty Springfield's absence; I fear I've been spoiled by the "Montage" version. That is not to say that this track on "Performance" is terrible; it is just that it is not the same hearing another woman sing backup. Standouts are "Jealousy," "It's a sin," and "We all feel better in the dark."
As with the "PopArt" DVD, the commentary is generous and a kick to watch, giving greater insight into Tennant and Lowe's songbook. Enclosed is an interview with Neil and Chris from '91, as well as one with David Alden and David Fielding.
"Performance" contains perhaps the most intriguing ninety minutes worth of concert footage I've ever been privy to witness; it will require multiple viewings just to take everything in, and even then, it will always seem fresh and new, as if experiencing it for the first time.

The title is a Canadian EMI import of "Performance"!! .......2005-01-11

Nice Going Amazon!!!.In the frequent Amazon.com tradition of either listing music video DVD titles without the name of the artist or listing the artist without listing the program title,Amazon lists "Pet Shop Boys(2004)".What is this program? Well,,I was able to confirm(by comparing the "ASIN" number with the Pet Shop Boys DVD's listed on Amazon's Canadian site,and by ordering & receiving the program though one of the Amazon Marketplace merchants),that this disc is the new expanded EMI/Canada DVD of "Pet Shop Boys-Performance",a 1991 concert program,now with 5.1 surround sound(Dolby Digital or DTS) & Dolby Digital Stereo,plus an artist commentary track,previously unreleased rehearsal footage & a still photo gallery.Fortunately,the song publishing dispute which forced the removal of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" from the medley with "Where The Streets Have No Name" on the original VHS & Laserdisc releases has now been resolved,and the medley is now presented complete.(on the VHS & Laserdiscs,the lead vocal was mixed out during "Can't Take My Eyes Off You",leaving only the chord changes & background vocal "Ooohs",a sort of Karaoke version!).Song line-up is:This Must Be The Place I Waited Years to Leave","It's a Sin","Losing My Mind","What Have I Done To Deserve This","My October Symphony",I'm Not Scared","We All Feel Better in The Dark","So Sorry I Said","So Hard","Opportunities(Let's Make Lots of Money)","How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?","Rent","Where The Streets Have No Name(Can't Take My Eyes Off You)","West End Girls","Jealousy","Always on My Mind","Your Funny Uncle"

Description

Join Frank, Dino, Sammy, Joey and Peter in the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas." This unique program traces the history of the Rat Pack, beginning with Frank Sinatra's solo stint as a Vegas headliner when his movie and recording careers crumbled, to his famous "summits" with the rest of the pack at the fabled Sands "A Place in the Sun" Hotel, to the triumphant on-location filming of the Pack's "Ocean's 11" (which showcased as many stars as could make it to Vegas during the filming). The program features rare footage of the Pack in action at the Sands' Copa Room as well as rare stills of John F. Kennedy and other Kennedy Era luminaries. The program also offers frank discussions of the racism that dominated Las Vegas in the 1950's - and Frank Sinatra's heroic efforts to end it for his good friend Sammy Davis Jr. From the birth of the Sands to its razing to make way for today's fabulous Venetian Resort Hotel, the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas" showcases the men and times that buils the myth - and mystique - of America's No. 1 tourist destination.

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL MOVIE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FRANK SINATRA. HE WAS ONE HELL OF A GUY AND I LOVE TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO ANYTHING PERTAINING TO HIM.

Excellent DVD. Would be better if the main focus was not the Kennedy election. Overall, I would buy it again.

Good except for The Peter Lawford Bashing Casino Worker!.......2004-09-09

I like the Rat Pack and I like this doccumentary about Las Vegas during it's Rat pack hey day and I loved the history details of old las Vegas. My only complaint is the whiney casino worker who kept complaining about Peter Lawford just because he asked for a certain brand of cigarettes. I mean was it really necessary to trash a man no longer around to defend himself and all because he asked for a different brand of cigarettes? That part was useless and mean spirited so I have to take points off or that! At least I think this is the doccumentary with the Peter Lawford basing casino worker but I could be wrong and if it is another doccumentary then someone correct me if I'm mistaken!

No no no. This is a big, long ad for Las Vegas........2004-01-30

If I knew this thing was produced by the Travel Channel, I never woulda bought it. It's just another Travel Channel advertisement for Las Vegas. And it's filled with interviews of Rat Pack impersonators, for crying out loud.

Customer Reviews:

Okay but very short...........2006-08-27

The content that was on it was good but it wasn't very long. They should have added some live performances or more interviews.

Backstreet Boys - Never Gone: The Videos .......2006-08-18

They are of good quality but they have only 3 music videos while others are of makin and all that. So I'll rank it neutrally.

Never Gone-Still making hits.......2006-08-08

I always enjoy artists that put themselves into their music. With the cd, BSB takes another step forward. I've always loved their music/videos. But these seem a bit more focused. I love each and one of the videos and how they go into detail about the making of each one. The only thing i would like to see in the future is perhaps all of the BSB videos on one DVD.

Otherwise this is easily a worthwhile purchase for any Backstreet Boys fan.

Fantastic videos.......2006-03-27

I thought these videos were fantastic. I'm not disappointed in purchasing Backstreet Boys - Never Gone: The Videos. I love collecting videos of the boys.

Good but not long enough.......2006-03-24

I thought it was a cute dvd but i wish they would have waited and included the other videos from NG. Its funny how rock fans call BSB fans whinny....lol seems to me rock fans are the whinniest fans i've ever seen hahahahaha

GoOd, BuT NoT ThEiR BeSt..........2005-11-02

I have to admit I really love the Pet Shop Boys, I think their music is great and stuff; however, this concert would have been much easier to enjoy if the sound and picture quality had been improved! The sound quality is not bad but it's diffcult at times to hear Neil Tennant sing, and the picture quality seems unpolished.

The concert itself is good, I had never seen Neil interacting with the audience, he even shook hands with many of them! The music is really nice (you can't imagine how much I love "It's A Sin/I Will Survive" here!) Although there aren't many songs, you can enjoy this concert easily. The documentary is good (I would've liked Spanish or English subtitles, though). All in all, it's not their best performance, but it's good. Come to Peru, Pet Shop Boys! I'll pick you up at the airport!

another "somewhere" dvd???.......2004-09-05

i have no idea what "dol" is supposed to mean, but could this actually be "performance"?

"performance" was brilliant, released on vhs and discontinued years ago, finally being released on dvd in the uk on 09/27/04.

over the years, we on this side of the pond have been skrewed by missing out on adam ant's "antvideo" and dead or alive's "evolution/rip it up live", so i can only hope that "performance" might finally make it to R1/ntsc.

great set list lame concert.......2004-08-08

I 'm a huge PSB fan and was very disappointed by the concert footage, The concert itself was not worth filming. I'm sure actually being at the savoy this performance had some value but watching Neil Tennant smack his hand against his thigh for 90 minutes is an absolute bore especially after seeing Performance their over the top visually and vocally inspired concert. Again it pains to write this but as much as i love them I know when the emperor has no clothes.Check out performance instead.

Fantastic.......2004-04-07

Have most of there albums, but have never seen a concert live or on video. Untill now. It was great. Not as energetic as I though, but never-the-less Fabulous.

Product Description

Venice Film Festival winner RAJA is the March selection in The Film Movement Series. Raja is a nineteen year old orphan literally and figuratively scarred by life. Fred is an emotionally bankrupt westernet living amid his plush gardens and palm trees. Set against the backdrop of contemporary Marrakech, RAJA is a cross-cultural drama about a wealthy middle-aged Frenchman's complex relationship with a local youth. Fred's attempt at seduction, and their mutual attempt at manipulation, are fractured by their gross disparity of income and cultural sophistication. The New York Times wrote "What distinguishes Raja from every other movie to contemplate the treacherous intersection of passion, avarice and power is its unsettling emotional honesty. The two central performances (especially Ms. Benssallem's Raja, who has the intensity of a cornered wild animal) are so spontaneous and mercurial that the reckless flirtation seems to be unfolding before your eyes." Each month subscribers to Film Movement receive an award-winning film such as RAJA to own on DVD each month.

"We haven't even started and already disillusion has set in.".......2006-04-09

The film "Raja" explores colonialism through the relationship between a middle-aged, bored, jaded, wealthy Frenchman living in Morocco and a young orphaned girl he employs. When Raja (Najat Benssallem) appears to work in the gardens of the Frenchman Fred (Pascal Greggory), he immediately singles her out for attention. She's by no means the prettiest girl of the bunch, but he's inexplicably drawn to her--much to the horror of the older, disapproving and threatened servants he employs in the kitchen. There are huge gaps in education, age and status between Fred and Raja--but Fred, who's "trying to revitalize" his "desire," baldly tells Raja, "You realize that I'll do anything to sleep with you," and he thinks he means it.

In addition to the social inequalities between Fred and Raja, there also exists a substantial language barrier. Raja, who was forced into prostitution as a child, knows a few, elemental French words--including 'money' and 'gift', but both Fred and Raja rely on others to translate their tortured negotiations. Raja's feelings of rage, and vulnerability are transparent, but Fred as an ultimate exploiter who refuses to acknowledge the moral consequences of his actions receives only heavily filtered translations that mirror his own blunted and jaded emotions. In one marvelous scene, Raja attempts to convey her feelings of vulnerability by explaining that as an orphan, she has no one to protect her, but Fred pretentiously replies: "we are all orphans."

In spite of the fact that Fred is a repulsive character, "Raja" from director Jacques Doillon is an amazing film. While the relationship between Raja and Fred symbolizes the inherent moral difficulties of colonialism, these characters are fully developed. Both are products of their social milieu, and Fred's vanity is insufferably overpowering--not only does he imagine all the young Moroccan girls fancy him, but his ego and narrow vision fail to grant him the insight into another's plight. As the one in the vastly superior social position (i.e. the one with the money) he is fated for unhappiness and disappointment--he wants an innocent and despises artifice, and yet seeks artificial emotion and entertainment. In French and Arabic with English subtitles--displacedhuman

Fady Ghaly's reviews.......2001-11-14

My remarks toward this picture
Coming-of-age sagas are frequently burdened with threat, especially because the genre has been so overworked and even pulverized into cliché. Yet young filmmaker, John Fawcett, pulls off a coup with this hip and arresting drama that's full of spit and attitude, and is relentlessly in your face, whether you like it or not. The Genie-nominated, first-time Toronto director, working from Genie-nominated writer, Peter Wellington's edgy, intellectual script, re-invigorates the genre with panache.

He does so by balancing climactic suspenseful elements with authentic human insights. He does it with a first-rate cast, led by Chris Penn as a psychotic cop killer badly affected by a grim childhood who, when he had reached his breaking point, I guess you could say in a sense, had me on the edge of my seat till I was fully assured that he was conquered-such riveting performance was that compelling. A performance so compelling, it earned him a nomination as Best Actor at the 1996 Genie Awards. Here, Penn really delivers his finest since co-starring in Abel Ferrara's elegiac gangster film, The Funeral. (Even the title itself screams of great mourning for that which is irrecoverably past.)

The three youths played by our rising young stars are at loose ends during a teachers' strike that has closed down their small Ontario town's high school. The three friends, who dispute because their social and intellectual instincts tug in three dramatically different directions, find themselves in a quandary one afternoon as they head toward their secluded shack deep into the wilderness where the pressures of growing up do not have to be faced; however, that severely wounded and yet armed stranger in whom they discover hiding out inside may just be their ticket to real adventure. Overriding common sense, they decide to help the stranger, who we find out is named Luke, rather than report the incident to the police.

"If you want something, you just take it, and then it's yours," Luke says, and they do, and they love it. They get themselves into trouble and the thought of getting themselves in insubordinate acts excites them. (spoiler) What is so clever with regards to this piece is that, even when, through the audiences' eyes, we want to wail out the words: Wake up, stupid! when one of our teen heroes is about to make a mistake in judgment, the Fawcett-Wellington team make those mistakes understandable. We sympathize. We comprehend. We're involved.

The ambivalence and complexity of the struggle are why The Boys Club has accurately been called a cross between Stand By Me and River's Edge, two landmark films that explored teen anguish with a piercing intelligence, never pandering to the youths or condescending them.

Fawcett walks the same wobbly tightrope, even if The Boys Club remains as a modest film, at least, in scale, that will not gain the notoriety of either Stand By Me or River's Edge.

On the other hand, Penn is a towering force, a raging bull-of-a-catalyst in our teen protagonists' lives. Dominic Zomprogna-being the one to play the part of Kyle-perfectly essays the confused youth torn between intellect and impulse; Stuart Stone, who plays the part of Brad, is a terrific counterbalance as the practical one, while the charismatic Devon Sawa-a dead ringer for Leonardo DiCaprio-is pure feral instinct. (According to Sawa, his character in the film, whose name is Eric, is so unlike himself that it really puts his acting skills to the test. The Boys Club has generally been his most challenging film yet, and yet he passes with flying colors.) Nicholas Campbell provides a compellingly sad-sophisticated portrayal of Kyle's father.

Their personalities mix, the deeming of both their feud and friendship bond and the palpable danger of the narrative ups the emotional stakes. (spoiler)
The Boys Club is not at all just kids' play. It is an inexorable and deeply powerful film that tests friendships and human insight, and yet it doesn't ever overdraw upon a single factor that would diminish it from being the masterpiece that is, because that's precisely what it is despite of the fact that it was shot as a Canadian film on a skin-and-bones budget, will not be released in most countries-which is a shame-and was shown at only a few theaters in Canada. (Mind you, it, however, is available on VHS and DVD in, aside from Canada, Australia and the U.S. as well.)

The Boys Club, although the affect it has upon me isn't quite as great as it once was-for I have now watched it so many times, that it has reached an extent where the amount can no longer be counted anymore-it, nonetheless, is a film that will forever be special to me. Not only because the tension that was generated by these kids in danger influenced me to become a writer, an interest that has drastically altered me as a person, for I now I'm capable of expressing my feelings in a way I never thought possible; but, in addition, because, after having stepped inside a video store one glorious day, it instantaneously drew me to purchase a copy of it on DVD despite of the fact that I merely had a VCR-a machine that was left setting alone no longer, for I the following day ended up purchasing the player itself, a highly sophisticated machine in technology that has forever altered both my experience and outlook upon movie-viewing.

A great thriller, a hot guy, what more could you ask for?.......2001-08-02

This movie was excellent and skillfully done. I don't only love it because one of the main stars, Dominic Zamprogna, is SOO hot, but just because it's a great movie. It is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that you will have to watch from beginning to end.

Cool Movie ,Hot Chick.......2000-04-05

This Movie is cool it sounds like me and my friends and something that would happen to usand Amy Stwerwart who plays megan ohh-ahh man she so so incredibly hot man shes got me dreamin but the movie is cool watch it.

THE BEST MOVIE EVER!.......1999-12-06

This movie is my favoerite movie ever (and not just because I'm a Devon Sawa fanatic). As you watch the movie you can imagine what the boys went through. Also, it teaches you a lesson.

Devon looks so amazingly hot!!!!.......1999-10-03

I can tell you that this is a well-crafted film and I can tell you that the actors did a great job. But I won't. Because the only reason I watched this movie was to see Devon show that beautiful smile that takes my breath away. I would love to get him in an abandoned shack for a few days. The actors did do a great job, but Devon was the only body...err person that caught and kept my eye :)
