VHS Tape Collection

I am a collector of VHS tapes and actually sell off some of my doubles. I'd like to trade for other tapes. I have about 100 or so in my store website if anyone wants to check them out. I'd be willing to trade for any tapes that do not have a DVD equivalent. You can view mine at www.booksoldier.net or use the link below. The prices shown are for sale but if you want to trade please let me know.

Song During Promo Hang Em High

In the commercial for this movie tonight there is a great sound clip that sounds like its from There Will Be Blood. Is this Dominic's score for the film, though, and if so, what is this section called?

The Graduate on AMC

I just saw part of the Graduate on AMC. It was shown the "DVD" way, i.e. with non-stop text, comments and information provided in a box at the bottom of the screen, while the movie played. What an utterly ridiculous thing! This totally undermines the movie experience, it interferes, you can't focus on the movie. Who came up with this idiocy? I sure hope AMC doesn't do this a lot, because the Osborne show is a good one. We watch him and his movies several times week. But please, don't ruin your excellent movies with this text non-stop text garbage at the bottom of the screen!

Charlton Heston: A Hollywood Icon

There will never be another actor of the stature and class of Charlton Heston! Our loss is heaven's gain. All my condolences to Lydia, Fraser, Holly and the grandchildren. Why is AMC not having a HUGE tribute day or weekend dedicated to him? If he doesn't fit the definition of AMC, American Movie Classics, I don't know who does! He epitomized class and acted like a true star should act. America loved him!! God Bless Charlton Heston.

Recent Future Classics

Sometimes it's hard to tell what movies will endure to become classics. If you told me in 1985 that Real Genius would endure to make Val Kilmer a star, I would have laughed in your face. And yet, here we are. Then there are movies like Rain Man and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which become legendary the moment they're released.

What movies have you seen recently that you think might stand the test of time?

I'll get the ball rolling and say that so far this year, Cloverfield might have what it takes,simply because it delivered in redefining the monster genre (Who would have thought you could make a successful movie focused on the people screaming "Aieeee!" at Godzilla?). Also, given the recent proliferation of the term "sweded," I think Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind will be remembered for decades to come.
