Last of the Dogmen [VHS] Hbo Home Video Modern bounty hunter Lewis Gates is hired to track down three dangerous fugitives who have escaped into the Montana wilderness When the fugitives are found murdered Gates has a mystery on his hands Accompanied by anthropologist Lillian Sloane Gates ventures further into the mountains and discovers an isolated settlement inhabited by a Native American tribe thought to have been wiped out by white settlers a century earlier The two gradually begin to gain acceptance within the tribe but when Gates vengeful ex father-in-law Sheriff Deegan leads a posse into the mountains Gates and Sloane must prevent the tribe from being massacred a second time Written by Ronos Despite an irritating tacked-on voice-over narration that somebody must have thought was necessary to make sense of the story it wasnt Last of the Dogmen is actually a very moving and magical film Tom Berenger plays a Montana bounty hunter who helps an anthropologist Barbara Hershey search for the descendants of a Cheyenne tribe who disappeared in the 1870s What the two find in a remote mountain stretch is an entire community of Cheyenne who have kept themselves cut off from the modern world A Dances with Wolves parallel emerges as the white outsiders gradually fit in but Last of the Dogmen stands up just fine without comparison to any other films As in Kevin Costners Oscar-winning movie however there are ways in which this film captures a similar sense of yearning mystery and loss --Tom Keogh The Century-America's Time (Boxed Set) [VHS] ABC News Covering the entire 20th century in one video series is an ambitious project but one that Peter Jennings and ABC News are up to In The Century Americas Time a 12-part documentary on six videotapes that is a companion to the book of the same name Jennings guides us through a century of technology and advancement like no other As he says in his introduction to episode 1 Seeds of Change Unlike previous centuries where leadership was defined by royalty and other rulers the 20th century more than any other was shaped by the will and actions of the common man The series is a sweeping presentation of the United States of the 1900s and tries to encompass a mind-boggling amount of history And while at moments the videos may leave you longing for more Jennings does an excellent job of creating smooth segues between disparate pieces The first episode for instance begins with the influx of immigrants at the turn of the century and touches on Jim Crow laws moving pictures planes Henry Ford the sinking of the USS Maine child labor suffragettes the Panama Canal imperialism and more right up to the beginning of World War I The archival footage is stunning and interviews with historians veterans journalists POWs politicians authors celebrities and common people help bring the past to life again Mickey Spillane discusses the speakeasies of the 1920s Dennis Hopper talks about Easy Rider in the 60s Tom Wolfe reads from The Bonfire of the Vanities for the episode on the 80s Eudora Welty E L Doctorow Martin Scorsese John Updike Pat Buchanan Oliver Stone Stephen E Ambrose among many others lend their voices to this documentary Yet despite the great names at times the pictures and people are allowed to speak for themselves without intrusive narration--the stark images of the Challenger explosion or the sad words of a political activist mourning the death of his partner to AIDS are more powerful because of it This chronological tale with the exception of the last episode Then and Now which is arranged thematically is an insightful and poignant reminder of all the marvels--and tragedies--of America in the 20th century --Jenny Brown The Thorn Birds - The Complete Miniseries [VHS] Warner Home Video The second most-watched miniseries after Roots of all time The Thorn Birds was originally broadcast in 1983 and captivated viewers with its story of a lifelong

Australia between 1920 and 1962 is one long torment as he pines for his lover Meggie Carson Rachel Ward while seeking advancement in his clergyman career The passion and the guilt make for compelling drama but a stellar cast of supporting players adds muscle to the proceedings Barbara Stanwyck who won an Emmy for her work as Meggies tough grandmother Jean Simmons Richard Kiley Christopher Plummer Bryan Brown and Mare Winningham Chamberlain who was something of the king of the miniseries form at the time is very good in the lead as is the often-underrated Ward Their affair is indeed

childrens story is well worth watching with the whole family Produced for Canadian television its one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley an imaginative and headstrong orphan When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake What use is she to us grumbles the gruff Marilla We might be of some use to her answers Matthew who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne As Anne grows up her adventures are both hilarious and moving Its a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green cracks a slate over Gilberts head when he calls her Carrots and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college Richard Farnsworth is perfect as the shy and gentle bachelor Matthew who confides to Anne that he never went courting because I would have had to say something Colleen Dewhurst delivers a nuanced and powerful performance as Marilla a seemingly cold-hearted spinster whose no-nonsense exterior conceals a warm heart And as Anne Megan Follows strikes the perfect note maturing from freckle-faced orphan to elegant and poised young woman --Elisabeth Keating Separate But Equal [VHS] Republic Pictures One of the most pivotal moments in 20th century American history is bracingly dramatized in Separate but Equal In telling the detailed story of the Supreme Courts 1953 decision to abolish racial segregation in schools this superb 1991 TV movie covers a broad spectrum of issues never taking its eyes off the prize while its first-rate cast conveys the importance of the Supreme Courts ultimately unanimous decision It was the culmination of a lengthy legally complex and morally compelling struggle that began humbly in South Carolina in 1950 where future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall Sidney Poitier --then a New York-based lawyer for the NAACP--fought on behalf of an underprivileged black community facing social injustice despite the 1896 decision Plessy v Ferguson that promised separate but equal treatment in the wake of slaverys abolition Both direction and script by George Stevens Jr are utterly conventional but with so much dignity and fine acting in the service of a noble undertaking including Burt Lancasters final performance as opposing counsel John W Davis Separate but Equal achieves a lasting importance of its own --Jeff Shannon Stone Fox [VHS] Republic Pictures Cinderella (The Wonderful World of Disney) [VHS] Disney Walt Disney Video A prince a pumpkin a glass slipper historys most enduring fairy tale returns with a thoroughly modern twist Beautifully produced and featuring an all-star cast RODGERS HAMMERSTEINS CINDERELLA shimmers to life in the most spectacular production ever of the classic musical -- including three additional Rodgers Hammerstein songs exclusive to this special Disney presentation Pop sensation Brandy TVs MOESHA stars as the beautiful Cinderella who suffers the torment of her wicked stepmother Bernadette Peters and spoiled stepsisters Cinderella dreams of the impossible -- going to the ball and dancing with the prince Her impossible dream is realized when her fairy godmother Whitney Houston teaches her that with positive thinking and belief in yourself impossible things happen every day Also starring Jason Alexander TVs SEINFELD and Whoopi Goldberg SISTER ACT Disneys sparkling new version of RODGERS HAMMERSTEINS CINDERELLA promises to be an instant classic Now you can relive the magic anytime you wish More is not necessarily better A glitzy Hollywood cast and a big budget did not improve the wonderful 1957 teleplay or its equally charming 1964 remake upon which this version is based This is partly because Brandy cast in the title role cannot act Not helping matters are Whoopi Goldberg as the princes mother and Jason Alexander as his valet Their shtick wears thin very quickly However Paolo Montalban is charismatic as the prince and Whitney Houston plays a fairy godmother with pizzazz The production cost millions and is certainly lavish but the whole affair feels forced and overdone reminding one of a prom queen wearing too much makeup It does deserve credit for a multi-ethnic cast the addition of two new songs and a hip attitude However the 1964 version the original was not taped is much sweeter and more romantic Originally released as Rodgers and Hammersteins Cinderella --Rochelle OGorman Chiefs TV Mini-Series [VHS] Anchor
