Moonwalker [VHS] Sony Doctor Zhivago: 30th Anniversary Edition [VHS] MGM David Lean focused all his talent as an epic-maker on Boris Pasternaks sweeping novel about a doctor-poet in revolutionary Russia The results may sometimes veer toward soap opera especially with the screen frequently filled with adoring close-ups of Omar Sharif and Julie Christie but Leans gift for cramming the screen with spectacle is not to be denied The streets of Moscow the snowy steppes of Russia the house in the country taken over by ice these are re-created with Leans unerring sense of grandness The movie is so lush and so long that it becomes an irresistible wallow even when logic suffers--like Gone with the Wind before it and Titanic after Sharif who achieved stardom in Leans previous film Lawrence of Arabia mostly looks noble but the supporting cast is spiky Rod Steiger as a fat-cat monster Tom Courtenay as a self-righteous revolutionary and Klaus Kinski and Alec Guinness in smaller roles Geraldine Chaplin in her adult debut plays the doctors compliant wife Robert Bolts screenplay won one of the films five Oscars with another going to perhaps the most immediately recognizable element of the movie Maurice Jarres romantic music with its hugely popular Laras Theme weaving in and out of a swooning score --Robert Horton Gold Diggers-Secret of Bear Mountain [VHS] Universal Studios Lassiter [VHS] Warner Home Video I Come in Peace [VHS] Starz / Anchor Bay The Uninvited [VHS] MCA/Universal Home Video One of the spookiest ghost stories ever put to film The Uninvited is also one of the few classic haunted-house movies to treat the subject with respect and seriousness Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey play a brother and sister who leave the city to live in a beautiful old house dramatically perched on a cliff overlooking the Cornish coast As they discover some of the houses peculiarities--the unexplained chill that settles in certain rooms the aroma of mimosas that wafts through the house flowers that wilt when brought inside--they are told by local girl Gail Russell that the house is haunted by the spirit of Russells mother no less The rationalist city folk first scoff at the idea but as Milland slowly falls in love with the frightened girl he investigates the legends and discovers some startling hidden truths Donald Crisp costars as Russells humorless hard-bitten grandfather who forbids her visits to the house Handsomely shot against the beautiful Cornish countryside director Lewis Allen wisely suggests more than he shows and the uneasy tone and quietly restrained direction looks forward to such films as The Haunting and The Legend of Hell House Though Allen ultimately reveals a suitably spine-tingling apparition some of the films best moments are chilling in their simplicity nocturnal moans slamming doors and the dogs whimpering fear of the upstairs --Sean Axmaker Rasputin (1996) [VHS] Hbo Home Video Winner of 3 Golden Globes Based on the true story of one of the most powerful men in Russian history - and one of the most dangerous In a time of revolution he has the power to heal an empire or destroy it Midnight Lace [VHS] Universal Studios V - The Original TV Miniseries [VHS] Warner Home Video In its day V was a monumental event that for one generation remains a pop-culture touchstone Close Encounters of the Third Kind may have reassured us that perhaps we have nothing to fear from alien visitors and E T introduced us to a benign extraterrestrial who only wanted to go home but Kenneth Johnsons 1983 television miniseries knew better Visitors who claim to come in peace are revealed to be nothing but human-looking reptilians on human conversion and conquest As in the dark days of fascism some collaborate with the enemy others form the resistance At the time the epic scale of this production was unprecedented Those 50 motherships that hover over Earths major cities anticipate Independence Day by more than a decade The special effects and makeup are still awesome Less so is the often-hackneyed dialogue But thanks to their signature roles the mostly no-star cast most of whom would be reunited for a sequel and subsequent television series have ensured themselves standing invitations to sci-fi conventions Marc Singer is cameraman-turned-freedom-fighter Mike Donovan Julie Parrish is a medical student-turned-rebel Richard Herd is the aliens supreme commander Jane Bradler is Diana the ravishing but ruthlessly ambitious alien science officer Leonardo Cimino lends dignity to his heavy-handed allegorical role as a Holocaust survivor Look for a pre-Freddy Krueger Robert Englund as one of the aliens The DVD is presented for the first time in widescreen format Supplemental features include an amiable and enlightening directors commentary and a brief making of segment --Donald Liebenson Ghost [VHS] Paramount Pictures Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are the passionate lovers whose romance is undone when the latter is murdered during a bungled hit arranged by a rival The clever concept by screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin director of My Life extends outward into comedy Swayzes character communicates through a sassy medium played by Whoopi Goldberg who won an Oscar for this role horror the afterlife is populated by hell-bound demons and the like and romantic complications a handsome suitor played by Tony Goldwyn comes on to Moore while Swayzes spirit is still hanging around Directed by Jerry Zucker previously best known for codirecting Airplane and similar broad comedies Ghost is a careful balancing act of strong commercial elements but at heart it is a timeless Hollywood tearjerker that easily gets under ones skin --Tom Keogh
