The Goodbye Girl [1977] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha Mason, Quinn Cummings, Paul Benedict, Barbara Rhoades
directed by: Herbert Ross

Release Date January 18, 2000
With the current remake of Neil Simon's 'The Goodbye Girl' showing on television at the moment, it reminded me of this original film production, one of the better films from the 1970s, and one of the better films to derive from a Broadway play to keep much of the same character as the play. This film won numerous awards: Best Actor Oscar/Best Actor Golden Globe/Best Actor BAFTA for Richard Dreyfus; Best Picture Golden Globe; Best Actress Golden Globe/Best Actress Oscar Nomination for Marsha Mason; Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nomination for Quinn Cummings; Best Writing Oscar Nomination for Neil Simon, and the list goes on...

Neil Simon's play is dialogue driven rather than action-driven; this sometimes means the kiss of death for ... Read More:

Scream, Blacula, Scream [1973] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: William Marshall, Don Mitchell, Pam Grier, Michael Conrad, Richard Lawson
directed by: Bob Kelljan

Release Date January 20, 2004
One of my friends knew that I love Blax and Pam Gier films so she thought this was suitable gift me and for the month of horror. William Marshall returns in this follow up to Blacula, although more of a true horror flicks than the first one, it just isn't as good. If there is one thing that can be said for these Blacula flicks, is that they are definitely trend setting. Firstly, the original movie, while crappy, did balance the racial scales a bit by finally portraying a prominent African character as a feature vampire as opposed to the androgynous Eastern European ones that we usually get. Granted, the notion didn't really advance much beyond that, as all we have had since then in the way of African-American vampires is the cheesy "Vampire In Brooklyn" ... Read More:
