"A Christmas Story is on its way to becoming an annual holiday classic, one to keep on the shelf with It's a Wonderful Life, the puppet-animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. It may have been directed by Bob Clark (responsible for the Porky's pictures), but it's based on the childhood memoirs of humorist Jean Shepherd (from his hilarious book In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash). And it is Shepherd's wry ..."
"Loose Cannons centers around a detective named Fielding (Dan Aykroyd) with amazing analytic powers--and a multiple personality disorder. Partnered with a hard-nosed vice cop named Stern (Gene Hackman), they're on the trail of a pornographic Nazi film that proves the impending German chancellor is a former Nazi. Fielding and Stern have to cope not only with German bad guys, the FBI, and the Israeli secret service, but also Fielding ..."
"Footnotes in movie books are likely to reduce this swashbuckling adventure down to a simple description: it was the first movie to star Leonardo DiCaprio after the phenomenal success of Titanic. As such it automatically attracted a box-office stampede of Leo's young female fans, but critical reaction was deservedly mixed. Having earned his directorial debut after writing the Oscar-winning script for Mel Gibson's Braveheart, Randall Wall ..."
"Shaft in Afrika ist die zweite, eher unbekanntere Fortsetzung zum Original-Shaft aus dem Jahre 1971. Wie schon in den ersten beiden Teilen wird Shaft in diesem Spielfilm von Richard Roundtree dargestellt, der wie immer eine unglaubliche Coolness ausstrahlt, den man jedoch niemals wütend machen sollte. Der Privatdetektiv John Shaft wird engagiert, um undercover in Äthiopien gegen moderne Sklavenhändler zu ermitteln. Mehr braucht über di ..."

"IN A SMALL 1940'S INDIANA TOWN, NINE-YEAR-OLD RALPHIE DREAMS OF A PERFECT CHRISTMAS MORNING WITH THE ULTIMATE GIFT, A GENUINE RED RYDER AIR RIFLE GUN. BUT WHEN HIS MOTHER CONSTANTLY RESPONDS WITH YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT RALPHIE MUST PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS TO GET HIS DREAM PRESENT."
"The second sequel to the hit Shaft, this film foreshadows itself early on when Shaft, asked to go undercover in Africa to halt modern-day slave trade, claims that he's not James Bond but strictly Sam Spade. Bond, however, is the operative model here, with John Shaft masquerading as an Ethiopian to infiltrate the slave business and bring it down. Yet everyone he encounters seems to know who he is and wants to kill him--but the string of ..."

"Winner of the 2013 Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize presented by the American Society of Church History Mississippi Praying examines the faith communities at ground-zero of the racial revolution that rocked America. This religious history of white Mississippians in the civil rights era shows how Mississippians’ intense religious commitments played critical, rather than incidental, roles in their response to the movement for black ..."

"Murder by Decree has the distinction of being not only one of the best Sherlock Holmes films, but one of the best pastiches (i.e., a Holmes fiction created by someone other than author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) featuring the late-Victorian Era detective. Christopher Plummer is very good as Holmes, and James Mason redeems the many mishandled screen portrayals of Dr. John Watson with a rare, insightful performance. The story may not be uniq ..."
