Customer Review: A childhood favorite of mine, still plenty of typical Scooby Doo fun.
The premise is that Shaggy inherents a spooky, decaying mansion from his Uncle Beaureguard, and the movie begins as he, Scrappy-Doo, and Scooby-Doo are en route to the mansion. The whole estate is pretty spooky and decayed looking, replete with swamps and forests surrounding the house, a perfect setting for mystery and mayhem. At the mansion they are greeted by a sinister butler with a humorously overdone but still jarring laugh in Farquard. This does nothing to alleviate the nervousness Shaggy and Scooby are feeling, and with the introduction of the ghost of Uncle Beaureguard, an escaped ape (pursued by Sheriff Buzby, your typical thick-drawled, incompetent, and overweight Southern sheriff stereotype) they’re ready to leave, when they find a message from Uncle Beaureguard that says Shaggy must solve a series of riddles to locate his treasure. To deal with the ghosts, they call in “ghost exterminators” - the Boo Brothers, who indeed are a knock-off of the Three Stooges in every way. With the treasure beckoning, and the fact that their truck is incapacitated, they stick around, despite Uncle Beaureguard’s ghost, a skeleton ghost, a headless horseman, the ape, the bumbling sheriff, the Boo Brothers doing more interfering than helping, a hillbilly girl who has fallen in love with Shaggy and takes every opportunity to press her unwanted affections, and her hillbilly brother who “protects” his sister by hunting Shagggy and the gang and shooting at them. Well, treasure usually isn’t easy to come by. The riddles lead the gang around various areas of the esate - to the attic, basement, graveyard, caves, etc. One of the things that appealed to me as a kid (and still does) was the neat idea of this vast, spooky estate you could explore, with the fearful crumbling mansion at the forefront. There’s secret passages to be found, and the skeleton and Confederate ghost (Uncle Beaureguard) to be found at every turn, or more mundane foes to be avoided. The idea of the riddles, that solving the first riddle leads you to the location of the second one, and so on, was something I thought was very cool as a kid, though it’s an old idea. I think the animation and look of the show is pretty well done, considering the time, budget, and technology. The mansion and its grounds do give off a spooky air of decay and mystery; the setting is excellently accomplished. The supporting characters are mostly old stereotypes played out for humor but that works well for what it is. The ghosts are suitably menacing for this sort of thing, and Scrappy-Doo isn’t as obnoxious as he’s been on other occasions (though I’d like to have seen what this movie would’ve been like with the original Mystery, Inc. gang). The suspense of getting to the treasure is nicely built up, and there are some fine revelations along the way to keep viewers interested. In conclusion, this movie isn’t rocket science or anything complicated. In fact, to your average modern audience there probably isn’t a whole lot ot recommend this film. But, for whatever reason, it clicked with me growing up and even now. It’s got a classic gothic ghost story set-up, which usually appeals to me, along with some slapstick and typical Scooby-Doo humor. It’s fun, moves quickly, and shows more than just perfunctory thought and effort put into it (as opposed to later Scooby-Doo movies). I give it five stars because it succeeds for what it is.

The Virginian
The Virginian leaves the state of his birth to make a new life for himself on the frontier of the American West. He falls in love with Molly Stark, a schoolteacher also new to Wyoming, and becomes the foreman of a successful cattle ranch, hoping to make good in her eyes. But he is forced to resort to violence when he must protect the ranch against the treacheries of a rival rancher and the betrayal of a former friend.

Customer Review: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There are no words to describe how SLOW this movie was from beginning to end, but let me try anyway so as to give people a fair chance to avoid it and thus try and prevent their day/evening from being ruined: the film deals with the story of a schoolteacher from New England who meets a Virginian cowboy on the plains of Wyoming. The presence of Bill Pullman and Diane Lane did very little to alleviate the pain of watching this slooow and boooring mooovie… In addition, Diane Lane’s character was way to pushy/bossy/feminist for late 19th century, making it rather unrealistic. As for the supporting characters, this film does not seem to be their thing, and subsequently they look like they are out of place. In relation to the plot and the dialogues, they are way beyond “below average.” With the exception of the setting, (the plains are indeed breathtaking!) everything else is nothing to write home about. In conclusion, the potential for a decent movie was there if only the writers had the ability to… write! A shame really… Rent or buy at your own risk.
Customer Review: Love this movie.
I love westerns. Simple, clean, classic stories of moral dilemas. This is one of my favorites.

Customer Review: OMG, Sinbad’s SO crazy
I saw A&B on HBO live in ‘93 and I laughed so hard, it was the kind of laugh that doesn’t have volume; it build up like a ballon although it’s trying to get out, until finally it erupted in a massive wave of racket (so said my downstairs neighbors). I LOVED IT. A TOTAL SCREAMER. Which is why I don’t go to comedy clubs. If it’s funny, I’ma laugh so hard, I’ll draw attention to myself so much so someone like Sinbad would have a field day with me. Sinbad gives me hope in comedium in that you can be funny and not necessarily need to cuss, although I DO enjoy it as well. Sinbad’s a comic genius and what’s more, he comes across as honest in his musings. I have only one complaint: for God’s sake, WHY AIN’T THIS ON DVD?!? If there is a DVD, someone PLEASE tell me how I can buy a copy (NO BOOTLEGS!!) If there isn’t a DVD yet, I hope one will be created complete with sidebars from Sinbad. He is SO, da man.
Customer Review: Sinbad’s the Best!!!
Afros and bellbottoms was great! Sinbad had the whole family cracking up. It’s nice to hear such great humor without the usual cuss words that so may comedians think is neccessary. Great job,Sinbad!!!!
