The Sherlock Holmes Collection

The Sherlock Holmes Collection Review



2 DVD COLLECTIBLE TIN! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the redoubtable Sherlock Holmes at the dawn of the Twentieth Century, when movies were in their infancy and Sherlock was among the first fictional characters in the movies. In 1900, an unknown actor portrayed Holmes in "Sherlock Holmes Baffled" and over the past 100 years, Sherlock and his faithful Dr. Watson have appeared on screen more often than any other fictional characters. Holmes, instantly recognizable by his distinctive profile and deer stalking cap, and Watson, have been portrayed by actors great and not so great, in silent movies, talkies and on televison. TMG is proud to present this 2 DVD set of perhaps the definitive Sherlock Holmes, featuring the great Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson. These four spell-binding films thrilled wartime audiences during WWII and they remain fresh today. True to the original stories of Conan Doyle and filled with atmosphere and mystery, they are an absolute must-have for any who-dun-it fan!

White River [VHS]

White River [VHS] Review



In White River, Bob Hoskins (of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mona Lisa) plays Brother Edgar, a con man in monastic garb, who pretends to be the spiritual leader of the Little Brothers of St. Mortimer, a Christian association devoted to blind youths. These boys supposedly make the brown and blue socks Edgar sells at assorted lumberjack and hog-calling festivals around Arkansas, accompanied by his illegal immigrant assistant, Morales (Antonio Banderas of The Mask of Zorro and Spy Kids). Their modest but comfortable scam is interrupted when they are hijacked by a young psychopath called the White River Kid (Wes Bentley of American Beauty) and his girlfriend Apple Lisa Weed (Kim Dickens of Hollow Man), who force Brother Edgar to drive them to Apple Lisa's home town to meet her parents. Before long, Edgar is reluctantly caught up in a web of political corruption and misguided good intentions as he hopes to redeem himself in the arms of a blind prostitute named Eva Nell (Ellen Barkin of The Big Easy and Drop Dead Gorgeous). White River was adapted from a book and suffers from trying to squeeze too much of a novel into the tighter confines of a film, but the remarkable cast (which also includes Beau Bridges, Swoozie Kurtz, and Randy Travis) make the most of their outrageously comic Southern gothic characters. --Bret Fetzer

Dracula the Dirty Old Man / Guess What Happened to Count Dracula

Dracula the Dirty Old Man / Guess What Happened to Count Dracula Review



Dracula, The Dirty Old Man (1969, 69 min.) - Reporter Mike Waters enters a desert cave and finds Dracula the Dirty Old Man, a vampire babbling like a borscht-belt comic and wearing a hairpiece that resembles a dead skunk. Under Dracula's spell and renamed "Irving Jackalman," Mike turns into a werewolf-like creature and attacks women in parking lots, gas stations, and even a drive-in! The women are magically whisked away to the cave where Drac drains 'em and "Irving" mains 'em until the two ghouls fight over dibs on Mike's luscious girlfriend. A totally discombobulated skinflick mix of sex, horror, and dumb jokes, this may be the single most deranged Dracula movie ever made. Oy! "Guess What Happened to Count Dracula" (1970, 78 min.) - Give up? Well, after changing his name to "Count Adrian," he and a motley bunch of monsters opened a Hollywood nightspot known as Dracula's Dungeon--also headquarters for his attempt to turn lovely Angelica into an undead girlfriend courtesy of three separate neck gnaws. Listen carefully--that whirling sound you hear is Bram Stoker spinning in his grave!
