Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Best Serial Ever!
Every serial lover has their favorite and more often than not, The Adventures of Captain Marvel is #1. This serial was released during the hayday of Republic serials and was directed by the duo of William Witney and John English, who were responsible for the greatest serials ever. It stars Tom Tyler as Billy Batson's alter ego, Captain Marvel. I first saw this serial on 16mm in the mid 70's while living in Hawaii. The first thing that struck me was that Marvel was pretty hard-core. I'm not sure, but I can't remember too many super heroes who would grab a machine gun and start mowing guys down while laughing with an evil, maniacal laugh. Superman would never throw a guy off a building, would he? Anyway, I liked the story and there's enough action to please any fan. The flying sequences aren't that bad for the time. If Gomer Pyle had never been created, I guess I wouldn't even wince when Batson shouted, "Shazam"! If you can only have one serial in your collection, then this is the one I'd recommend.

David Shayne (John Cusack, in performance his character that of a young Woody Allen) is an idealistic young playwright whose life (and play) is about to be turned upside down as it heads toward Broadway. In order to gain financing for GOD OF OUR FATHERS, Shayne agrees to hire Olive Neal (a wonderfully high-squeaking Jennifer Tilly), the actress/girlfriend of Nick Valenti, a potential backer--who also happens to be a gangster. Unfortunately, the lass proves to be not only talent-free but ditzy to boot, a hindrance since she is supposed to play a psychiatrist. But Cheech, Olive's hoodlum ...

| | Conversation(S) With Other Women DVD (2005)
Adventures Of Captain Marvel review
$7.89
Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter give dazzling performances in Hans Canosa's CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN. Playing unnamed characters, Eckhart and Bonham Carter meet up at a New York City wedding and start flirting in a back room. Slowly it becomes evident that they have some kind of past together. As they consider spending the night in her hotel room -- and how that will affect their current lives -- secrets are revealed and futures are put in jeopardy. CONVERSATIONS is primarily a two-character drama, an acting tour de force for Eckhart (ERIN BROCKOVICH, THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING) and Bonham Carter (A ROOM WITH A VIEW, THE WINGS OF A DOVE). Director Canosa (ALMA MATER) shot the film in dual frame, shooting every scene with two cameras in order to capture different emotions and angles, and then projects them in split screen. Thus, the two frames sometimes show the same action from differing perspectives, and other times the present can be seen on one screen and the past on the other (as well as an imagined past, present, or future). The split-screen-effect results in longer takes and stronger emotions, ...
| | Love In The Time Of Cholera DVD (2007)
Adventures Of Captain Marvel DVD
$14.45 
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA straddles the line between pop and art, and manages to be both a bestseller and a literary masterpiece. With an excellent cast and a timeless story, Mike Newell's cinematic adaptation strives for that same balance. As a young man in 19th-century Colombia, Florentino Ariza (played primarily by Javier Bardem) falls in love with a beautiful woman named Fermina (Giovanna Mezzogiorno). But an overprotective father (John Leguizamo) and too much reality intrude on their romance, and Fermina marries a successful doctor, Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt). But a wedding ring--and the passing decades--aren't enough to dissuade Florentino from his love, even as he beds hundreds of women as he tries to get over his undying passion.
Screenwriter Ronald Harwood (THE PIANIST) distills Garcia Marquez's novel--which spans more than 50 years and almost 400 pages--into an accessible film. The basic element of the book--Florentino's love for Fermina--remains intact, and it's driven by yet another excellent performance from Bardem. Fans who were impressed by his masterly turn as a cold-blooded killer in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN will be pleasantly surprised that the Spanish actor can be just as adept playing a character driven by love. As in his previous work such as FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL and HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, director Mike Newell has assembled another fine cast that also includes Liev Schreiber, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Hector Elizondo.
Based on the bestselling novel ...
