4 out of 5 stars Pippi is cool!.......2007-05-29

My best friend and I have grown up watching this movie. Now that we're older, we have begun to notice some of the corny special effects and lines, but I still think The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking is cool!! I know that the way Pippi is portrayed in the movie is a bit of a character stretch, but, quite honestly, I saw the movie before reading any of the books. If it had been the other way around, I might not like the movie as much as I do. For me, this movie is a lot of fun memories.

4 out of 5 stars Pippi makes the kids say yippie.......2007-05-13

My kids love this movie. They didn't want to watch it because "Dad that movie is old." Yes it is old as far as they (9 yr old boy and 7 yr old girl) are concerned but I bribed them into watching it and they loved it. My daughter watches this several times a week. I think my son has a thing for Pippi. This is a good family movie and unlike the "family" movies they put out today you don't have to hit the FF button because there are no family un-friendly parts. Buy this movie and spend an evening with the kids. You'll be glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars Coming into your town.........2007-02-19

Worth it simply for the sentimental value. Seriously, it's pippy longstocking!

This product was cheap and brand-new. I have no complaints. The service was quick.

5 out of 5 stars Pippi Still Rocks.......2007-01-11

I couldn't find this movie anywhere. I had decided to dress up as Pippi for Halloween, and my children didn't know who I was talking about. When it arrived, I was so excited to share it w/ my children. They loved it. My oldest was singing the songs for days. I am so glad that something that I loved so much as a child is now loved by my children.

4 out of 5 stars A Moody Gothic and Lusty Tempest .......2007-06-15

This is a very strong re-imagining of Shakespeare's Tempest. Like Ken Russell (with whom Jarman served as an apprentice on a number of films), Jarman has a natural interest in and affinity for English history & literature and an equal interest in and affinity for camp which is skeptical of and often parodies traditions that it nonethless adheres to and upholds. As much of an iconoclast as Ken Russell and Derek Jarman seem to be they never stray far from the acknowledged masterpieces of literature and the way these masterpieces orient us toward the world; what they add, however, is an element of camp (or play, or polymorphous perversion, or myriad-mindedness) which draws attention to the restrictions that class and gender and race place on individuals or social actors "playing" at any given time in history. But this is, of course, what the greatest literature has always done--shown the arbitrary bounds and laws by which men and women delimit their lives. In this way the greatest literature has always been iconoclastic and Russell and Jarman fit into English tradition as well as Shakespeare and Marlowe, Byron and Shelley, Lawrence and Woolf.

In Jarman's production there is little left of the once great Prospero but a desire to be avenged. In his mind the world wronged him and he will not be at peace with it until he sets it right again. The irony is that in seeking to set the world aright he enslaves others (Ariel and Caliban) and simply perpetuates the chain of wrongdoing that he is trying to break. The tragedy of the play is that Prospero knows that despite his efforts he really cannot make men act against their natures and that despite brief lapses of peace (occasioned by art) men will always resume their contest for power. But like many of Shakespeare's plays this is not wholly a tragedy nor wholly a comedy and so one moment we may be, along with Ariel, lamenting mans tragic fate and the next minute, along with Ariel, laughing at it. Most productions of The Tempest seem to favor either the tragic or comic element, but what Jarman does is not imbue the entire play with one mood but imbue individual characters with one or another, comic or tragic, mood. So while Prospero is imbued with a brooding & wistful melancholy that is wholly appropriate to his age and experience, his daughter Miranda is imbued with a sense of possibility and wonder that is wholly appropriate to her age and experience. The beauty of the play is that each character really inhabits their own version of the island, and lives within their own desires (or fears, for one could argue that what Caliban really fears is not having someone to serve for this would mean taking responsibility for his own reality). Of course some people might be put off by the fact that Jarman also allows each character to have their own sexuality. The campy ending, I might add, just underlines the unbridgable gulf that exists between art (where man experiences a measure of freedom and joy) and life (where man must live according to the decorums of the state.

Jarman's eccentric cast works very well at bringing to life Shakespeare's characters and themes and enlivening them with Jarman's visual style. If Ken Russell was the perfect artist of the early 1970's in that he seemed to glorify in the fashionable excess of the age, then Jarman is perhaps the perfect late seventies/early eighties artist that seems to glorify in the excesses of character and sexuality while also realizing that those excesses/eccentricities are allowed only in the world of art and that society as a whole is not that permissive or playful. This would explain the paradoxical melancholy of Jarman's artist-angels-visionaries; they are transcendent creatures but they are, nonethless, always trapped in society and in time.

The DVD includes three silent bonus shorts from 1971, 1972, & 1973 respectively. They are art student pieces that reveal the visionary yearnings of this essentially romantic and thus eternally melancholy artist.

5 out of 5 stars Are you people MORONS?.......2007-01-16

OMG! The folks who didn't "like" the film clearly had no idea who (or what) Derek Jarman is. Crickey, do a little research before buying something. What did you think, this was going to be some high-school production of Shakespeare? The boobs and the corset on the cover shoulda tipped you off (or perhaps that's why you bought it... hmm). What a bunch of morons.

OK, now that's over with...

If you dig Jarmen, this is for you. Much more cohesive than Caravaggio (I mean, c'mon... look at the source material). It engages, just hide the kids eyes!

1 out of 5 stars Dreadful.......2004-09-24

I have read all of Shakespeare's plays, seen productions of a majority of them and even acted in and directed some. I do not necessarily believe that Shakespeare must be done in the "traditional" fashion, but I hated this movie.

There is nudity that is gratuitous and unnecessary. There is grotesqueness that is far beyond what I believe Shakespeare intended. Some of the dialogue is incomprehensible, and there are those elements, like the singing and dancing that add no meaning to the movie, but replace Shakespeare with the director's self-indulgences.

I am sorry to say that I wasted perfectly good money to buy the DVD of this movie.

3 out of 5 stars Art for art's sake.......2003-10-16

Derek Jarman's vision of The Tempest is a strange but artistic one. Although at times it can be too weird to really take seriously, Jarman's film deserves to be seen by those who love Shakespeare and those who love movies. In The Tempest, Jarman combines elements of traditional Shakespeare, Stanley Kubrick, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show to create an extraordinary vision of the classic play. Baz Luhrmann owes a lot to this movie for his adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, as evidenced by the combination of genres, the bizarre imagery, and especially Elisabeth Welch's performance as a Josephine Baker-inspired chanteuse, which mirrors Desiree's incarnation as Billie Holiday in Luhrmann's film. It is worth noting that those who were not open-minded enough to appreciate Luhrmann's film should probably not see this one.

Despite all of these innovations, however, The Tempest moves too slowly to keep up with its own progressive style. The movie would have greatly benefited from being shortened by about half an hour. The one reason to sit through the tedious moments is to watch Karl Johnson, who, as a nervous Ariel, gives by far the most interesting performance.

4 out of 5 stars A cozy dream for exiled dreamers.......2003-08-05

Ken Russell's designer on The Devils and Savage Messiah, the late Derek Jarman, made one of my favorite movies out of Shakespeare's most fanciful, yet most forgiving, play. Jarman makes a virtue of his tiny budget, having learned much from his former director about how to stretch one: the shadows, fireplaces, dust and antique clutter of Stoneleigh Abbey make a cozy and believable home in exile for Prospero, for whom "my library was dukedom enough," and for his fond daughter Miranda, who dances and play-acts around the vast, shabby manor like any imaginative child who hasn't known anything else, nor any reason to be ashamed of it. The mood is intimate and vespertine (in the Bjork sense); and for once, clutter is not the symptom of a lowlife or a loser, but the habit of a wistful, brilliant man absorbed in his studies and contemplation. For this alone, I recommend the film to anyone who ever felt like an innocent exile, a misunderstood artist or dreamer.

I also recommend it if you enjoy radical approaches to Shakespeare. Jarman's vision succeeds nearly everywhere, aided by superb casting. Hippie-hairy Heathcote Williams and the pleasantly zaftig Toyah Willcox are a warm and very appealing father and daughter, the ectomorphic Karl Johnson an Ariel with his own dreams to dream when not subduing resentment at his slavery to Prospero, and the bald, lisping, leering Jack Birkett nearly stealing the movie as an alarming, grotesque Caliban whose own wide-eyed pleasure in the "thousand twangling instruments" of the isle, with its "sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not" is as strangely winning as his hostility and vulgarity have been repulsive. Jarman's customary homoerotic elements work well and add another dimension to the play, as he contrasts Caliban's baseness not with Ariel's loftier sensibilities but with Miranda's moral innocence; while Miranda's *sexual* innocence is contrasted with Ariel's resignation to postponing his own desires, shown when he enchants and sings over the totally naked Ferdinand but otherwise leaves him alone. Stephano and Trinculo are flamboyantly queer, donning masks and costumed frippery not, like other characters, to symbolize dissembling in a straight society, but in drunken frolic as they plot to overthrow Caliban's master. (This is how Jarman delivers what an earlier reviewer here felt was missing, the "alternative realities.") Jarman's tone of melancholy lifting culminates in musical comedy star Elisabeth Welch's rendition of "Stormy Weather". It works.

The play is heavily cut, but could have benefited from more cutting, as Caliban is not made to look in any way fishlike, but Stephano and Trinculo still talk as though he is; Prospero looks forward to going home, where "every third thought shall be my grave" even though the actor was only 38; and Miranda's exclamation "O brave new world, that has such people in it!" sounds ridiculous when referring to the underrehearsed chorus line of rather fey sailors doing a silly dance that goes on too long. Representing Prospero's servant spirits with dwarves works fine, except Jarman's technique is not skillful enough to convey the menace of their assault on Alonso, Antonio and Sebastian. Jarman's technique would fully mature in his film of Edward II.

Although it was praised by English critics, The Tempest is an obscure little foreign art film, and has not been remastered in any way. The "extras" include the original presskit text, plus three short films that look like static landscape shots in Super8mm, and are of no interest except to Jarman scholars.

2 out of 5 stars Not good.......2006-07-10

Basically, the quality of this DVD is not good and Shannon Tween didn't perform very well in this film. Although other girls show the nudity and sex scene, it does not help too much for this poor movie.

4 out of 5 stars power play.......2005-09-08

I liked this movie. I t has everything except MORE of Mrs tweed. She was up staged by female costar. THe sex scenes were above average. beter then most softporn.anyone who did`nt like should just watch porn !! Better then NC17 the DREAMERS. Kind of ended like WILD THINGS.

4 out of 5 stars Danielle Ciardi is the real star.......2005-02-10

This movie is really about Danielle Ciardi. The only problem is that she is only featured in 4 scenes. The scenes with her in front of the fireplace and later on top of the dead guy are all right to see her profile. The quickie scene on the stove and the banging scene in the hotel are both spontaneous and hot. I only wish there was more of her.

1 out of 5 stars Not erotic, exotic, or provocative.......2003-10-24

To all potential buyers looking for a steamy softcore movie with lingerie clad ladies, disguised by a better than average plot and acting, please save your money and look elsewhere. This movie does not deliver on any of the above and Shannon Tweed is left searching for way out of this aimless, plotless, and primarily sexless movie. Even the NC-17 version will let you down. Simply put, it does not deliver in those areas people want when they purchase a movie like this.

5 out of 5 stars Shannon Tweed doesn't do much but the other chick does.......2003-08-31

Wow. Jaw-dropping spine-tingling borderline porn is what this is. The hotel scene is over the top, and it alone is worth the price of admission. ...GET THE TISSUES!

3 out of 5 stars POWER FAILURE.......2005-01-10

It's not that POWER PLAY is a bad movie...it's just, well it's just there. Dylan Walsh (Nip n Tuck, Arctic Blue, Congo) stars as investigative reporter Matt Nash, a rather rugged newspaperman who can mess it up with the best of the bad guys. (Until he runs into a senior citizen in the finale, who whips Walsh's butt...not entirely credible considering how apt Walsh was earlier). Alison Eastwood (The Spring, Absolute Power) plays lovely scientist Gabriella St. John who discovers that a new source of "clean" energy just may be what's causing several earthquakes in the LA area. The main earthquake sequence is not entirely earth shattering, but it's okay for an obviously low budget film. The rest of the movie focuses on Walsh evading the nasty guys out to kill him, and trying to convince everyone that something is going on at the mysterious power plant.
Joseph Zito directs with a little too much leisure and the actions sequences become redundant. Walsh tries gamely but poor Eastwood acts like she's in a stupor, which is not usual for this talented daughter of Clint Eastwood.
You might want to rent unless you can find it in a bargain bin.

    5 out of 5 stars short 2 hour version is missing one or two key scenes........2007-02-07

    you know i've seen many renditions of Macbeth and in some plays he comes off almost as a Hamletlike Macbeth,(conflicted to abstraction)In this version he comes off just plain MEAN!! His wife mean and cold. Actually the worse the acting job in portraying this hellish couple,the more real to life. They just aren't likable people,brutal and agressive.However this version did cut out the critical scene when MacDuff tries to sway the English power against Macbeth. This is important because no matter how bad Macbeth is,the English worry that Macduff could be worse,so they put Macduff through a test of character.To the English,Macbeth is "the Devil we know",as opposed to the one we don,t. This is a major scene in the play and to omit it is a mistake. But the good note is that the Hell porter man is there in all fullness complete with drunken accents.

    3 out of 5 stars Does the job well enough.......2007-01-09

    I picked up this DVD to help my son to supplement his reading of the play for his high school Lit class. The play is staged quite simply, and is shot basically the way one would see it on stage, with few tracking shots or camera tricks. The set is quite spare -- a few columns here and there for the actors to walk around. The costuming is simple and mostly traditional.

    The back of the DVD claims that the actors avoid speaking in English accents, which is supposedly an aid to American listeners. Frankly, this did not help me much, as some of the actors still spoke in "stagey" English and not in contemporary accents. The production stayed very close to the written play, which was suitable to the purpose I had in mind -- give me a sense of the play without lots of adaptations and scene cutting.

    I thought Jeremy Brett did a fine and muscular job as Macbeth. However, I often found Piper Laurie (as Lady Macbeth) hard to understand. The witches and their familiars get more stage time than a reading of the play might suggest. This does not detract from the action, but suggests the continuing presence of their malign influence on Macbeth and others. The rest of the cast was quite competent and intelligible.

    I don't agree completely with the very low ratings given by many reviewers. This Macbeth is a workmanlike and straightforward rendering of "The Scottish Tragedy." Taken for what it is, it is quite acceptable, if not exemplary.

    1 out of 5 stars Too much 'Method' in this madness.......2006-06-22

    Method actress Piper Laurie made me laugh out loud when she began the "Come you spirits" speech as if she were trying to summon Blanche DuBois and Medea in one go. Can't imagine Mr. Brett's excuse for as abysmally poor acting. For even worse Shakespearean acting (and yes, it's not the same as playing any other texts) see two Star Trekkers (Ohura and the Russian guy) and a General Hospital star (Luke) in this series' "Antony and Cleopatra". Not a larfing matter in the end.

    1 out of 5 stars APPALLING DVD despite great actors.......2003-04-23

    I love Jeremy Brett and Piper Laurie. Their combined talents offer what few enjoyable moments there are to be found in this Macbeth, but they unfortunately can't salvage this atrocious production. Seeing it is enough to turn someone off Shakespeare. (Should that happen, Al Pacino's delightful LOOKING FOR RICHARD is the perfect antidote to restore passion for the Bard). But I digress. I want to issue a warning to all who might assume the DVD version of this Macbeth would be superior to the VHS. In this instance, tape was simply transferred unto disk with no remastering or enhancements, and there are no extra features. The visual and audio quality is appalling. I regret buying this DVD when I already owned the VHS (..like I said, I love Jeremy Brett...) The only advantage is being able to skip the boring parts to get to the monologues. But that isn't saying much.

    3 out of 5 stars It was ok........2002-11-10

    I'm not going to say that this is the best version of Macbeth that I have ever seen. I'm just saying that it was ok. In my opinion, whoever made this production should have cast someone who actually did Shakespeare. I don't even know if Jeremy Brett and Piper Laurie have ever done Shakespeare. The set is gorgeous. Something tells me that you had to be brave to stand on the ramp above the stage. Macduff Jr. is so adorable. I was saddened when the Murderers killed him offstage. I was so sad when I heard him crying offstage at the end of the scene. The biggest highlight of the video (I rented it from the library) was the Witches. I liked the Witches even more when I found out that one of the actresses playing the Witches also played Bianca in this series' production of Othello. She's better at being evil than good. What especially charmed me about the witches was their costumes. I was expecting old chambermaid costumes or rags. I was also expecting old women, not sexy women. Then, there were the three demons, or apparitios as they are credited. They were freaky. I was especially charmed because the witches and the apparations appear more than once. Watch for them. They're pretty prominent. Other than that, just rent the DVD for the Witches, Macduff Jr. and the set. There is too much overacting from the leading players. They almost killed this DVD. Everyone else is good except for Malcolm. They obviously hired this guy because his chest is sexy.

      2 out of 5 stars Not What I Was Hoping For ..........2004-09-19

      Really not what I was hoping for. Very basic and generic stuff like ball position and swing within self etc. Does not contain the real juicy goods we all want -- ie the Tiger / Scott takeaway and forearm rotation, wrist set, etc.

      Interviews with Butch between lessions was interesting.

      All in all .. you probably already know all this stuff.

      3 out of 5 stars POWER FAILURE.......2005-01-10

      It's not that POWER PLAY is a bad movie...it's just, well it's just there. Dylan Walsh (Nip n Tuck, Arctic Blue, Congo) stars as investigative reporter Matt Nash, a rather rugged newspaperman who can mess it up with the best of the bad guys. (Until he runs into a senior citizen in the finale, who whips Walsh's butt...not entirely credible considering how apt Walsh was earlier). Alison Eastwood (The Spring, Absolute Power) plays lovely scientist Gabriella St. John who discovers that a new source of "clean" energy just may be what's causing several earthquakes in the LA area. The main earthquake sequence is not entirely earth shattering, but it's okay for an obviously low budget film. The rest of the movie focuses on Walsh evading the nasty guys out to kill him, and trying to convince everyone that something is going on at the mysterious power plant.
      Joseph Zito directs with a little too much leisure and the actions sequences become redundant. Walsh tries gamely but poor Eastwood acts like she's in a stupor, which is not usual for this talented daughter of Clint Eastwood.
      You might want to rent unless you can find it in a bargain bin.
