Editorial Review

William Hurt is perfectly cast as an arrogant surgeon who treats patients like interchangeable cogs in the machinery of his medical practice. Then he is diagnosed with throat cancer and, as the title of the memoir on which it is based tells us, he gets a taste of his own medicine. The subplot involves the solidarity between doctors, which is shattered when the newly conscious physician discovers that one of his partners (Mandy Patinkin) is trying to cover up a case of malpractice. Hurt is solid, as is Wendy Crewson as the doctor who treats him and Elizabeth Perkins as a fellow cancer patient. Interestingly, Hurt's fellow actors Patinkin, Adam Arkin, and Christine Lahti all wound up playing doctors on TV's Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good jobs by the entire cast...
High-level surgeon William Hurt comes down with cancer, and is forced to evaluate modern-day health care from the viewpoint of a patient. He finds that even with his wealth and education, the world of oncology is scary and confusing and at times, degrading. Does it make him a better doctor, to have been on the patient's side of the room for months? Take a look at this well-done movie and you'll get an answer.

5-0 out of 5 stars One EVERY doctor and health care worker should see
This movie was so well done, I loved Elizabeth Perkin's role, she did outstanding!

Editorial Review

It's not exactly Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but this 1998 entry, starring Vanessa Williams and newcomer Chayanne offers its own terpsichorean pleasures. The story centers on Rafael Infante (Chayanne), a Cuban émigré to Texas, where he takes a menial job at a local dance studio run by John Burnett (Kris Kristofferson). There, he falls for Ruby Sinclair (Vanessa Williams), a one-time ballroom championship contender looking for the opportunity to compete for the title once more. The romance seems a foregone conclusion but has some snap thanks to a crisp performance by Williams and a sunny (if limited) one by Chayanne, a singing star in Puerto Rico. Best of all is the dancing itself. In terms of both energy, exuberance, and style, this film's dance sequences rank with the best of the decade's limited celebration of the kinetic art, such as Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars For dance lovers
Good movie to show people the difference between ballroom dance and fun dance. Best dance movie I ever seen.

5-0 out of 5 stars Be a winner - Dance with Me!
If you like to dance or like to watch other people dance then this is the movie for you.That's especially true if you like a latin beat in your music. Nice story line and in the end girl not only gets the trophy but gets the guy also!A little laughing and a little crying and a lot of dancing.What more could you ask for.

3-0 out of 5 stars Movie a little slow, dancing entertaining!
Overall this movie was a little slow, the plot was predictable, and it took a little long to get there.The best part of this movie was the dance sequences.The opening scene in Cuba looked completely staged and not authentic at all.The best part of this movie was the dance competition which comes at the end of the movie after you have sat through almost two hours of very drawn out rather boring scenes. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars WHAT A GREAT FILM!LOOK FOR THE SOUNDTRACK CD
Where do I begin? ......Well I caught this film on Encore around 10 years ago. It was just something that I started watching. Then it came on again and again and I just kept watching it! There is something so moving about this little known film I just can't put my finger on it. The acting is fantatstic and rings true thoughout,if you don't have a lump in your throat once or twice while watching this film you don't have a pulse! The funny thing is they stopped showing the movie and I always remembered it.I happened accross the soundtrack in a used store and remembered the music. I own 8,000 cd's and this is one of my favorites! If you are lucky enought to find the cd BUY IT!!!! It is as moving as the film. OK back to the movie. I found it used on VHS and have since made a copy on DVD for myself and it looks and plays well in my home theater. It is ridiculous that this gem is not on DVD. I can not believe the [...] they have tranfered to DVD before this classic. I hope someone will do this film jutice!SOON!!!! Don't expect explosions and over the top situations. This is the real deal!

5-0 out of 5 stars DVD Please
Seriously, how do we get someone to make this into DVD format??This movie is awesome!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars THE DEFINITION OF "ACTING"...
If I looked that up in a dictionary, it might just say... Watch "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway". Until I saw this movie I had always thought of Richard Harris as a so-called Actor who never really tried all that hard. But maybe people rarely gave him a script (A chance) like This picture. His performance was beyond Oscar-worthy and the only reason no one associated with this film was even nominated was because there was none of the manipulative campaigning put out to the voters.

Hollywood has often visited the story of the teacher who comes to make a difference. There have been some fine films born from that premise but Children of a Lesser God gets my vote as the really interesting one.

5-0 out of 5 stars Worth it.
At eleven dollars The Outsider is certainly worth every penny. If you like romances where opposites attract (is there any other kind in Hollywood?) then this movie is for you. The story isn't very complicated -or original, but the way it plays out makes for a very entertaining 119 minutes. Tim Daly never looked better. His boyishly winsome face has matured into one of a rugged, devilishly handsome man with more than a wicked glint in his eyes. Naomi Watts (a great actress), plays Rebecca with a quiet, conflicted soul. I like the movie better than the novel, only because it seems more focused. Rebecca is truly at odds with her beliefs and her attraction to this mysterious man, whereas in the book she seems almost instantly drawn to him. Love this movie.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Outsider - The Ultimate Chick Flick!
Yes, this movie reminded me of "Witness" and "Angel and the Badman" along with many other westerns.There's not a lot of orignal stuff here.BUT...this is the story of every good woman's secret fantasy - to save (both physically and spiritally) a handsome bad boy with her love.While Naomi Watts is a natural beauty and does a nice job here, this is not her movie.This movie belongs to Tim Daly.I would never have believed that the uptight boy-next-door cutie from "Wings" could have played the world-weary gunslinger so convincingly.If the devil himself were to come to earth to seduce a woman, he would be Tim Daly as Johnny Gault.Tall, dark, handsome and smokin' hot!Men should skip this movie and leave it for the women.Any girl who ever dreamed about a pre-"Brokeback Mountain" cowboy should watch this movie - you won't be able to take your eyes off Tim Daly!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great romantic western, extremely well-done!
I highly recommend this DVD.I thought it was just excellent in how it was made---the story line, the acting, the believable and "likable" actors portraying the main charactors, the music, the photography, scenery, everything!! (Tim Daly in my opinion was the PERFECT actor for his part!!He was wonderful!!)

4-0 out of 5 stars Kathy And Mimi Are Fantastic! And Great Directing From Fox!
The first episode on the tape Forever Ambergris is very dull and uninteresting, but the second and third stories are the best. Michael J. Fox does a great job directing the "Trap" the story is also wellwritten and has a unexpected twisted ending."Beauty Rest"features two of the world's most beautiful actresses in Mimi Rogers andKathy Ireland and for that reason it is the best story on the tape.

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT STORY!!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Tales from the Crypt doesn't disappoint in this video
What does a bone-chilling story, a tomb, and a rotting corpse have in common?Tales from the Crypt!What else? This video contains DEAD WAIT with one of the best comedians/actors in history, Whoopi Goldberg.She plays a medicine woman on an island that is being taken over by a group of rebels.At the same time, a young man named Red is planning to take a valuable black pearl. What happens when their paths cross?

5-0 out of 5 stars Yet another great 'Crypt video, sure to send you shivers!
This film contains the episodes (which I will be reviewing) "Dead Wait", "People Who Live In Brass Hearses" and "Seance".I can't speak for other reviewers on this collection,but I found all installments in this video to be well-written andentertaining. "Dead Wait", which features hit TV and film starWhoppi Goldberg (who does a comedic stint with the Crypt Keeper at the end)is a tale of the strange cult of Voodoo and it's supposed magic.But howhigh do sacrifices go to steal a priceless treasure?Co-Starring JamesRemar and John Rhys-Davies, there should be lots of "headsrolling" after you see this tale! "People Who Live In BrassHearses", starring Bill Paxton, in the tale of a common street robberand his mishappen brother (acclaimed film star Brad Dourif) as they try totake down a helpless Ice Cream vender.At the climax, the boys realizethat two heads, legs, arms, etc. are better than one... "Seance", starring Cathy Moriarty, takes a in-sight on the wicked world of tricksinvolvid psychics, gypsies and such."But we all know the"Seance" we are seeing is fake, right?" , might be what ourdear Alison Peters (Cathy) might say.Co-starring Ben Cross, Alison willlearn how wrong she is. These three horrifying tales will do any ghoul'shorror collection well.As The Cryptkeeper himself my say, "Til' nexttime, kiddees!"

5-0 out of 5 stars VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD
IN THE FIRST EPISODE, WHOOPIE GOLDBERG IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS ANY GOOD. THE SECOND ONE IS EXCELLENT. BRAD DOURIF GIVES AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE IN THIS VERY COMEDIC EPISODE, WITH BILL PAXTON AS WELL. THE THIRD IS VERY GOOD AS WELL, IT HAS NO TWISTED SHOCK ENDING, AND DOESNT EVEN HAVE A VERY GOOD STORY, BUT IS STILL ENTERTAINING, ESPECIALLY WITH CATHY MORIARTY, SHE IS EXCELLENT. END ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Best of the Crypt
This is the best tape to get from "Tales from the Crypt" by far. "Split Second" is the best and by far the spookiest. Timothy Dalton is very good in"Werewolf Concerto" a very gross tale indeed. "This'll Kill Ya" is a great tale if you ever think about stretching the truth a wee bit and what may happen to you. These are all great episodes.

5-0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best "'Crypt" in all of the series! Chilling!
This video contains three of my favorite Crypt episodes in the entire series!Again, I cannot speak for my fellow reviewer, but I watched these videos nearly two-dozen times!I will be reviewing "SplitSecond" , "WereWolf Concerto", and "This'll KillYa" , all included on this delightful video. "Split Second"is a very provocative tale starringMichelle Johnson.Set at a lumberjackforrest, the head cheif marrys a sultry waitress at a local tavern.Nosooner than a few monthes later, a young man shows up and stirs up jealousywith the cheif.Soon, Liz seduces him (whooo, momma!) ; the cheif catchesthe two in the act.It seems down hill now for the young boy at theenraged man...or is it?A shocker. "WereWolf Concerto" is aclassic WereWolf tale, "Tales From The Crypt" style!Takingplace in a secluded lodge, a the WereWolf is deffintly on the prowl...butis there another monster as well?Timothy Dalton stars in this epichorror-fest.Don't watch it on a full moon! "This'll Kill Ya" isthe tale of a harmless practical joke...but the receiver does'nt know thepunch line.What follows is a wrongful urge of revenge.Dylan McDermottstars in this hypnotic, suspensefull tale that is garenteed to leave youthinking, long after the Crypt Keeper says his fare wells. This isprobably one of my more favorite installments, and if I like it, I know youwill as well.I suggest buying it today!Enjoy!

3-0 out of 5 stars I HAVE TO ADMIT
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEIR BEST TAPES, BUT IF YOU ARE A FAN OF TALES FROM THE CRYPT I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GIVE ALL THREE EPISODES A SHOT. ITS NOT THAT THE EPISODES ARE BAD, ITS THAT THEY ARENT GOOD ENOUGH TO WANNA WATCH TWICE. END ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars UNFULFILLED DREAMS
Granny Weatherall has worked all of her life. She is proud of her accomplishments and still remains a demanding woman in her old age. Now things are changing. She's hearing things and seeing people long dead but she stubbornly refuses to slow down, until her body plays its own wicked game with her.2-0 out of 5 stars Unimaginative direction makes extraordinary story ordinary.
Katherine Anne Porter's short story "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," being told in stream-of-consciousness, could easily have been a cinematic tour-de-force. Unfortunately, director Randa Haines drains any interest out of it by trying to present it in a literal manner. The story would have been nothing special were it not for the stream of consciousness technique. Instead of trying to express Granny's feelings, Haines simply gives us static reenactments of events in her past, filmed in such conventional ways that we do not get much of Granny's attitude toward how she remembers things.4-0 out of 5 stars This is too cruel.
I think this is a well written book.I had to read it as an assignment inschool.The book makes you think about being old and the dying process (Ithink)I recommend anyone reading this book and I would read it again. END ... Read more

One of my favorite episodes is Dig that Cat..He's Real Gone. In this episode, a bum gets a procedure that gives him nine lives like a cat. He decides to do the whole side show bit and it doesn't turn out the way he thinks it will. The Man Who Was Death is a great episode about a executioner that gets put out of business by a new law. Then he decides to take the law in his own hands. This is great!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Entertainment
Tales From The Crypt Vol.1 is a great video tape.The Man Who Was Death is one of the first and best crypt episodes ever.The last two stories are okay,but buy the tape for the first and one of the best crypt episodes everThe Man Who Was Death Spooktactular fun and entertainment!

5-0 out of 5 stars Tim Curry is outstanding in this!
Even if you are not a huge Tim Curry fan you'll enjoy his talented performances in this one. Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out! (Tim pulls off 3 characters in the same skit beautifully, along with great makeup andcostume you can really buy that these are 3 family members, not just Tim in3 costumes.) Bravo! The "sex" scene is a little much, but wellworth it for seeing some truely original stuff by this great actor.

5-0 out of 5 stars Tim Curry is God..............
This is a preformance (by my favorite actor) by Tim Curry that you must not miss! Tales from the Crypt was really thinking for once when they cast Tim Curry for the lead role. I encourage you all to by it. The 2nd episodeon the tape, stunk, but the third was sexually fired up! I demand you allto see it!

4-0 out of 5 stars 1 IS THE BEST
THE FIRST EPISODE, WITH TIM CURRY IN THREE DIFFERENT SLACK JAWED YOKAL, HICK PARTS IS THE ONE TO SEE. TIM CURRY GIVES A GREAT PERFORMANCE. THE SECOND ONE IS IDIODIC, AND VERY LOWSY. THE THIRD IS PREETY GOOD, BUT TOO SEX BASED. END ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Supurb acting by supurb talent in this freakish "'Crypt".
This "Tales From The Crypt" video seemingly features great talent from great film stars past and present.From this video, I'll be reviewing "What's Cookin'?" , "Split Personality" and"As Ye Sow" . "What's Cookin'?", starring ChristopherReed (one of his best and most recent before his accident) ,and Meatloaf(?!) , this is a houmerous tale of...well...kind of canibalisim, I guess. Let's just say some "special" meat is imported.Lot's oftounge-in-cheek material.The kind of 'Crypt you'd bring home to mom."Split Personality" , featuring award winning actor Joe Pesci isa houmerous tale as well, as he dates two identical sisters at the sametime, fooling them into thinking that he himself has a twin (he does not) . It's not untill he marries BOTH untill things REALLY heat up.... "AsYe Sow" , starring Hector Elizondo, John Shea and Patsy Kensit is atale of a man who believes his wife to be cheating on him with a localpriest.However, things are not always as they seem, as ending draws to avery shocking yet ironic end. Overall, another great "Tales From TheCrypt" video.They're all good with variety."What'sCookin'?" has humor, "Split Personality" has that gore youcrave, and "As Ye Sow" is a great date 'Crypt!Well.No, notreally, it's not.Later!

5-0 out of 5 stars 3 classic Tales from the Crypt episodes
I've owned this video for a long time now but it is always fun to watch.Only Sin Deep is such a great story and Lea Thompson does such a great job in it.Lover Come Hack to Me is the second story in the video and it is a pretty creepy tale, but the third episode Collection Completed is more comical.Maybe they should have titled this video Tales from the Crypt Wives from hell, considering all three episides have somthing to do with woman viciously killing their men.If you liked the Tales from the Crypt t.v. show, then you will really enjoy all three of these classic episodes.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the earlier "Crypt's" , it is also one of the best!
Considered to be "Volume 2" of our series, I will be reviewing "...Only Sin Deep" , "Lover Come Hack To Me" , and "Collection Complete" , all contained in the approximate90-minute video. "..Only Sin Deep" , starring Lea Thompson, isthe tale of a street girl who just needs a little cash.She gets it, allright, from a pawn store owner, in an unusual way.She rises to the top ofher game, but no sooner does she notice something is changing...somethingtruely horrifying.5-0 out of 5 stars ALL 3!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!
I LOVED ALL THREE OF THESE STORIES. THE FIRST, ONLY SIN DEEP HAS GREAT ACTING FROM LEA THOMPSON, AND IS SCRIPTED VERY WELL. THE SECOND STORY DOESNT HAVE ANY GREAT TWISTS, AND IS VERY PREDICTABLE, BUT IS STILL VERY ENTERTAINING. THE THIRD STORY IS EXTRODINARY IT HAS A GREAT TWIST AT THE END, AND A VERY COMEDIC STRUCTURE. THIS TAPE IS WELL WORTH A WATCH. END ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Worth seeing for "Easel Kill Ya" alone
"Easel Kill Ya" is one of the best episodes of "Tales from the Crypt" ever.It features Tim Roth ("Rob Roy," "Gridlock'd," "Hoodlum"), one of my favorite actors, as a disturbed and uninspired artist who discovers inspiration in painting pictures of murder scenes... murders that he commits himself!Things get complicated when he meets a woman who can make him a happier man and change his murderous ways, but will his misdeeds catch upto him?One of the best concepts ever, and unlike a lot of these episodes, it's done correctly.The original comic book story (these old comics are available in reprints) was excellent too, although it looked a bit annoying the way the overwritten text was squeezed into seven and a half pages.This same concept was repeated in another comic book story called "Accidents and Old Lace," but that story was not as good.3-0 out of 5 stars TWO OUT OF 3 AINT THAT BAD
THIS TAPE GRTS DRAGGED DOWN TO A 6 DUE TO THE SECOND STORY, HALFWAY HORRIBLE. IT IS AWFUL, AND ALSO THE WORSE EPISODE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, IT IS INCREDIBLY BORING. THE FIRST EPISODE, WELL COOKED HAMS IS ALLRIGHT. THE THIRD EPISODE, EASIL KILL YA IS GREAT. AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE BY TIM ROTH IN THE THIRD ONE. WATCH THE FIRST, AND THEN FAST FORWARD TO THE THIRD, TRUST ME. END ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Horror Shows ever. . . .
One of the best horror shows ever, with every episode worth watching. Spoiled is more humorous than other episodes, and Blythe Danner is excellent in Maniac, which has a great twisted ending. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars WHAT A GREAT FILM!LOOK FOR THE SOUNDTRACK CD
Where do I begin? ......Well I caught this film on Encore around 10 years ago. It was just something that I started watching. Then it came on again and again and I just kept watching it! There is something so moving about this little known film I just can't put my finger on it. The acting is fantatstic and rings true thoughout,if you don't have a lump in your throat once or twice while watching this film you don't have a pulse! The funny thing is they stopped showing the movie and I always remembered it.I happened accross the soundtrack in a used store and remembered the music. I own 8,000 cd's and this is one of my favorites! If you are lucky enought to find the cd BUY IT!!!! It is as moving as the film. OK back to the movie. I found it used on VHS and have since made a copy on DVD for myself and it looks and plays well in my home theater. It is ridiculous that this gem is not on DVD. I can not believe the [...] they have tranfered to DVD before this classic. I hope someone will do this film jutice!SOON!!!! Don't expect explosions and over the top situations. This is the real deal!

5-0 out of 5 stars DVD Please
Seriously, how do we get someone to make this into DVD format??This movie is awesome!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars THE DEFINITION OF "ACTING"...
If I looked that up in a dictionary, it might just say... Watch "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway". Until I saw this movie I had always thought of Richard Harris as a so-called Actor who never really tried all that hard. But maybe people rarely gave him a script (A chance) like This picture. His performance was beyond Oscar-worthy and the only reason no one associated with this film was even nominated was because there was none of the manipulative campaigning put out to the voters.
