Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

In this 1937 adaptation of the Mark Twain novel, Errol Flynn is billed as the star, but actually he's only a supporting character here. The stars of the movie are Billy and Bobby Mauch, twin brothers who appeared together in several 1930's movies. Here they play Prince Edward and Tom Canty, lookalikes who grew up in very different circumstances. By a series of mishaps they end up living in each other's shoes for a while, and each comes out the richer for the experience. Like 1939's "Elizabeth and Essex," this movie isn't so much a swashbuckler as it is a serious period costume drama. Claude Rains appears as the scheming Earl of Hertford who wants to be the power behind the throne, and Montague Love does a pretty darn good Henry VIII. Barton Maclane is pretty scary here as the father of...

Hollywood's first earnest attempt to treat the Spanish Civil War is a deeply silly movie. There are few spectacles more forlorn than a film eager to be perceived as courageous, just not at the cost of having courage. Blockade strikes a radical pose. There's lots of rhetoric about getting "beyond flags and slogans"; "the people" keep forming up as a Spanish Greek chorus; director William Dieterle, besides borrowing blatantly from Potemkin in one scene, hazards a shift into direct address with anguished peasant-warrior Henry Fonda suddenly getting in our collective face to ask, "Where's the conscience of the world?!" Yet even though card-carrying leftist John Howard Lawson wrote it, Blockade neither takes nor identifies any political position. No one is fascist or...

Legendary producer David O. Selznick dreamed of another magnum opus like his 1939 production of Gone with the Wind; he also purposed to make Jennifer Jones, his ladylove and eventually second Mrs. Selznick, a megastar. Accordingly, he micromanaged the making of Duel in the Sun (Lust in the Dust to some), an extravagant Technicolor epic about the collision of the old West with the new, wide-open spaces with railroads and barbed wire, and hot-blooded outlaws with civilized folk, often wimpy or unwell. Beginning among giant rocks drenched in a blood-red sunset, with velvet-voiced Orson Welles intoning the leibestod legend of doomed Pearl Chavez and her demon lover, Duel never strays far from lush romanticism, spiced with a dash of S/M. Orphaned... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Jennifer Jones - Joseph Cotten - Gregory Peck Director(s): King Vidor - William Dieterle - Otto Brower - William Cameron Menzies - David O.

A wonderful, haunting film that can be seen many times. Jennifer Jones is fantastic as Jennie, a mysterious young lady who inspires artist Eben Adams, excellently played by Joseph Cotton. The score, comprised of music of DeBussy, perfectly fits the drama on the screen. A great cast of supporting players are also at their best here: Lillian Gish, Ethel Barrymore, David Wayne, and Cecil Kellaway. Jennifer Jones is delightful as Jennie, aging from a child to young woman. Joseph Cotton and Jennifer Jones were a wonderful screen team and were at their best in this film and also in Love Letters. Viewers of this film glimpse New York City of decades past and see Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in glorious black and white. The most haunting and dramatic sequence is the hurricane...

Of the many film versions of Victor Hugo's novel, this classic from Hollywood's golden year of 1939 remains the best, rivaled only by the 1923 silent version starring Lon Chaney. In his triumphant attempt to create a performance as memorable as Chaney's, Charles Laughton played the lovelorn Parisian hunchback Quasimodo under a disfiguring costume and gruesome makeup that rendered the actor almost unrecognizable. The result is a gripping and heartfelt portrayal of the misshapen bell ringer who falls desperately in love with the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda (played by Maureen O'Hara). The lavish production also greatly benefits from exquisitely moody black-and-white cinematography, brilliant medieval set design, and the atmospheric direction by German expatriate William Dieterle, whose style...
