3 stars another telling of the golden fleece myth
pretty good version of the story although Hercules has a greater role to play in this version than the later version but then Hercules is played by the star here - still worth having and a very enjoyable film

4 stars Better Than I Remembered it!
I love these old movies and you never see them on television any more or at the video store. If you're going to own a classic like this one, I recommend this because of the awesome picture quality. Better Than I Remembered it as a kid! This movie was the kick-off for Steve Reeves' career. A must own, must have superior DVD quality. Bob Keys

Full of pride, Cassiopeia compares her daughter's beauty to that of Hera.

This fantasy adventure is based on the 1870 novel by Jules Verne.

Day The Earth Stood Still DVD (1951)

Hercules movie DVD

$9.69

Beginning with a documentary style that immediately hooks the viewer, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, based on the Harry Bates short story "Farewell to the Master," becomes as much a human interest story as it does a sci-fi B-movie classic. The film soberly depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by ignorant, panicky military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C., hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come 250 million miles to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience, Helen Benson (Patricia Neal), and her inquisitive son, Bobby (Billy Gray). Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message, and the government's witch hunt for the alien. Made during the cold war--when Americans were obsessed with the destructive capabilities of the atomic bomb--THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, thanks to its beautiful pacing, excellent dialogue, and haunting score by Bernard Herrmann, is still a treat for contemporary audiences.

Carl Theodor Dreyer - Day Of Wrath/Ordet/Gertrud DVDs (1943) Special Edition

Hercules movie DVD

$62.55

DAY OF WRATH: Dreyer's horrifying masterpiece based on Hans Wiers Jenssen's play which, in turn, was based on actual records of witch trials during the 1600s. An old woman curses the local clergyman and his family as she is burned at the stake in this sobering and ghastly study of religious fanaticism. ORDET: Based on the play by Kaj Munk, this is the story of a man who is ridiculed for believing he is Christ until his miracles heal two families of different faiths angry at each other over a love affair between their children. A classic contrast of institutional religion vs. a personal interpretation of faith. AKA "The Word." GERTRUD: Adapted from Hjalmar Soderberg's 1919 play of the same title, GERTRUD tells the tale of a woman's search for idealized love and spiritual fulfillment, which takes her beyond the confines of a passionless marriage through a series of affairs that tragically fail to live up to her expectations. Employing restrained direction, stark set design, and long, contemplative shots, Dreyer's swan song is a beautiful, meditative and haunting masterwork. Winner: Venice Film Festival, FIPRESCI Award, 1965. CARL Th. DREYER - MY METIER: Through interviews, film clips and other materials, a survey of the life and work of one of Denmark's ...

Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs DVD (1974) Widescreen

Hercules film

$19.55

Based on a manga by Toru Shinohara, the Zero Woman series was a popular Japanese exploitation franchise of the 1970s, and it holds up strikingly well today. RED HANDCUFFS begins with female cop Rei (Miki Sugimoto), otherwise known as Agent Zero, seducing a Westerner who has been killing women with his sadistic sexual fetishes. Once she gets him back to the hotel room, however, she metes out her own brand of justice, of which her fellow cops do not approve, and Rei promptly lands in jail. Elsewhere, the maniacal criminal Nakahara (Tetsuro Tamba) is being let out of prison, and it isn't long before his brutal celebration leads to the kidnapping of an important politician's daughter. Charged with retrieving the girl without the media's knowledge, the police turn the job over to Rei. What follows is a melee of violence, sex, and violent sex, as Rei coolly does what it takes to get the job done. Agent Zero is a cop who uses her own methods for dealing with crimnals. After she unlawfully kills a rapist in a violent fashion, she is sent to prison and stripped of her badge. But very soon after, a rich politician's daughter is kidnapped by a ruthless gang. Agent Zero is let out of prison with the mission of going undercover to find the politician's daughter and return her safely. Extras include trailer, and more.
