Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde (1920)
From Amazon.com: It took John Barrymore to bring class to the American horror film, at least in the eyes of the industry. Dignified and virtuous as Dr. Henry Jekyll in this 1920 silent, Barrymore transforms into id incarnate as the lascivious Mr. Hyde. [... more]

Restored and pleasing: I'll admit, I have been a silents fan for many years, but am still a novice, but I did enjoy this movie, and was surprised by the UCLA 'disclaimer' that this restoration was not up to their usual standards (or some such note). If [... more]

Twentieth Century
From Amazon.com: Screwball comedy was practically invented by this classic Howard Hawks picture, a breathless farce with not an ounce of sentimentality. John Barrymore, in magnificent form, plays egomaniacal Broadway producer Oscar Jaffe, who molds his [... more]

Dinner At Eight
From Amazon.com: MGM originally promoted Dinner at Eight by touting the "all-star cast," but this is no run-of-the-mill omnibus picture. On the contrary, rather than cramming as many big names as possible into a lumbering vehicle, the movie's [... more]

Tempest (1928)
Unforgettable: I consider this film to be a prime example of how truly powerful an impact silent film can have on the viewer. This was the first noncomedic silent I can recall seeing--about 30 years ago on local TV--and I only caught the end of it, [... more]

Bulldog Drummond's Peril
Ho hum, are we to the credits yet?: This film will appeal only to those who really enjoy B movies from the 1930's. Put out by Congress Films, this is a real low budget flick that will have you snoring by the second reel. It seems that someone has stolen [... more]

Svengali - DVD
Look Into My Eyes...: At first glance, SVENGALI (John Barrymore) is just a slimy, heartless music instructor, taking advantage of the folly of his female students (victims). On closer inspection, he is a demonic presence, mesmerizing those he desires [... more]
