Kiss Me Kate

Amazon.com

Cole Porter, Shakespeare, and 3-D: Not the usual recipe for an MGM musical, but hey--it works. Although it runs hot and cold, this 1953 take on Porter's delightful Broadway smash lets a chewy cast gorge on some terrific songs and show-biz in-jokes. Think of the plot as His Girl Friday in greasepaint: vain star Howard Keel wants to lure ex-wife Kathryn Grayson back to the boards with a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. The movie's weakness is too much Shakespeare, not enough backstage backbiting (and why are two of the best numbers, "So in Love" and Ann Miller's zippy "Too Darn Hot," confined to a prologue?). Then there's the tendency to throw things at the camera--3-D, what hath you wrought? The candy-store color design is great fun, and Tommy Rall and future dance titan Bob Fosse are turned loose for some sensational leaps. Now that's "Wunderbar." --Robert Horton

Description

Fred and Lilly are a divorced pair of actors who are brought together by Cole Porter who has written a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. Of course, the couple seem to act a great deal like the characters they play. A fight on the opening night threatens the production, as well as two thugs who have the mistaken idea that Fred owes their boss money and insist on staying next to him all night.

This movie is 'too darn hot'............2007-08-17

What can I say about KISS ME KATE that hasn't been said already? I was first introduced to the music of this production via an old vinyl version that [I believe] was released before the film was even made. The great Cole Porter music accentuates the mood(s) of the story. The plot basically is that two stage performers who were once married to each other (played by Katherine Grayson and Howard Keel) but whose union ended in bitter divorce are asked by Cole Porter himself to star in a musical version of TAMING OF THE SHREW. This request isn't exactly received amicably. The two can barely stand each other from a distance--being on the SAME STAGE is even more excruciating! Needless to say, this tension parallels with the tension the characters in the play have between one another.

What makes this film SO good is the beautiful music. The songs include "So In Love," "I Hate Men" and "Too Darn Hot" (featuring a sizzling Ann Miller, tapdancing on a table and creating fire with every step!). This is a great musical and is truly over the top (in almost every sense of the word!). I think you will enjoy it.

Kiss Me Kate.......2007-07-25

Great 50s musical. Better than in the cinema when it first came out. Great copy and excellent sound.

Great "Kate"; lousy DVD packaging.......2007-07-14

This film has to be one of the very greatest stage --> movie transfers. Uniformly strong cast and a chance to see some early Bob Fosse choreography. Though Hermes Pan does most of the choreography, three male dancers (Fosse, Tommy Rall, and Bobby Van) choreograph individual sections of "From This Moment On".

I saw this film when it was re-released in 3-D in the 1980s and wish we had 3-D TV screens. But even without the 3-D effects its a wondeful movie.

Others have noticed the substandard packaging and I agree the cardboard cover is constructed in such a way that the disk could easily be damaged. I'm all for "green" but I don't think this is the reason for the substandard packaging.

But don't let the packaging deter you; "Kiss Me, Kate" is a great, great film.

Easy 5 stars, (though the plot can strain slightly!).......2007-07-12

Just for the incredible "Too Darn Hot" by the unbelievable Ann Miller (My vote for most talented person ever, including sports!), and the nearly as nifty "From This Moment On", this is easy 5-stars..Other song and dance numbers include a rooftop Ann with Partner dazzling amid the clothesline, 2 not-so-bad gangsters toe-tapping to the Bard (Is that Fred Astaire in this scene walking about, or a look-alike?), among others..The costumes and plot are tops, and the switching between the actual Renaissance stage production of "Taming of the Shrew" and modern day life is also very fine..Throw in some good jokes, a hilarious "I Hate Men" Solo by Kathryn Grayson, and this can't lose..Just a few slow moments, mainly with the bickering cast, still this one is without doubt top drawer..But..It would be unimaginable without the late, great Ann Miller!

The Three Leads Are Wonderful!.......2007-04-29

I can't believe I had never seen either the stage or movie version of this famous Broadway musical until now. This 1953 movie is very enjoyable because of the excellent singing, dancing, charisma and acting of the three leads - Howard Keel, Ann Miller and Kathryn Grayson. The supporting cast is fine too with great dancing and comedy bits. The story is far from politically correct (take a look at the "spanking" DVD cover) which makes it seem more than a bit dated and of course the core of the story is taken from Shakespeare. And I am not surprised to read it was originally released as a 3D film since there are lots of time when the actors throw things rather unnecessarily to the audience. Still a must see for all musical lovers.

This 1984 Carl Reiner comedy is one of the best film showcases of Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin's sundry talents. Tomlin plays a sickly spinster who is given the chance to transfer her soul to the body of another woman, and thus go on living. But the magic man who is supposed to make this happen goofs up and locks her spirit inside a bachelor lawyer (Martin)--or, more accurately, within the right half of the poor fellow's body. Suddenly, the swinging man-about-town is literally at odds with himself, unable to make a self-determining decision without a huge internal struggle. Martin's physical comedy, always remarkable, is absolutely inspired this time around, as he convincingly portrays a man split down the middle between opposing sensibilities. This is also one of the best films by Reiner, a filmmaker whose novel ideas are sometimes more striking than their execution. --Tom Keogh

They Dance as if Nobody's Looking.......2007-06-23

"All of Me," a 1984 romantic comedy/fantasy starring Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, directed by Carl Reiner, catches all three stars at the top of their form. Tomlin plays Edwina Cutwater, spoiled rich brat of fragile health. Steve Martin is Roger Cobb, hapless lawyer of working class origins who'd really rather be a jazzman. Selma Diamond ("Night Court") is just right as Cobb's law secretary in a part that feels like it was written for her. Richard Libertini is over the top as Prahka, eastern swami, in a part that also feels like it must have been written for him. And then there's Victoria Tennant as Terri Hoskins, beautiful daughter of Cutwater's stable man.

After a lifetime of threatening to die any minute, Cutwater is actually dying. She makes arrangements with Prahka so as to transfer her soul into Terri Hoskins's tidy body. Then the heiress requires Cobb, as he protests all the way, to write the unusual will leaving everything to Hoskins. The heiress dies, Prahka trips, and her soul goes into Cobb's body, where it controls his right side.

Many people speak of Martin's gift for physical comedy, and praise his three inspired scenes early in the picture. First on the street, struggling to walk to his office building, then, somewhat later, his efforts to relieve himself, and to make love to Hoskins, all with Cutwater supposedly controlling half his body. Hilarious these three scenes are, as is his split personality courtroom scene. But they can't compete with the touching last scene, as Martin and Tomlin, their characters freed at last, do a wild and crazy jitterbug to "All of Me." They say you should dance as if nobody's looking; that's what these popular comic actors here achieve.

Classic Steve Martin Meets Lily Tomlin.......2007-05-16

In my opinion, this is one of Steve Martin's best movies. It's a comedy with heart (my favorite kind) and the premise, together with the casting, works remarkably well. Lily Tomlin initially plays a super-rich, bed-ridden grouch. Her plan is to enter the body of a woman whom she has paid to allow her to possess her body on her death. Instead, through an accident, she ends up in Steve Martin's body, and they battle for control. Thus the title -- why not take "all of me"? I highly recommend this movie.

Don't Buy It.......2007-03-31

The movie, in and of itself, is a good one (4 stars); but the quality of the DVD is amazingly bad. If I had known that it was even possible for a DVD to come out so badly, I wouldn't have bought it. To boot, it's not in widescreen.

Really like this movie.......2007-01-05

Big fan of the major actors in this film: Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, Victoria Tennant. Think the premise is good and silly but really love watching Steve Martin play both his and Lily Tomlin's parts in one body.
Great music, good silly fun way to spend a few hours.

Least of the Martin/Reiner comedies.......2006-09-09

Steve Martin and director Carl Reiner made some wonderful comedies together, but this tale of soul transference from a wealthy woman (Lily Tomlin) to a bachelor lawyer (Martin) is probably the least of them. Martin and Tomlin don't develop much chemistry until the final scene when they dance together while the final credits roll. Martin's physical comedy here is astonishing, but unfortunately, nothing else in the film seems to work. Tomlin isn't very good, perhaps because her roll requires here to remain rather stiff and stationary for the most part, confined within the frames of mirrors. For a true dose of Martin/Reiner magic, I recommend "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" or "The Man with Two Brains."

Product Description

It s not unusual for two men to be in love with the same woman...unless it s the same man.

Jim Carrey delivers an outrageous performance in this "fall-down, flat-out irresistibly deranged movie" (Rolling Stone). Rhode Island state trooper Charlie Baileygates proves that nice guys finish first after marrying the prettiest gal in town. But when she leaves him for another man, Charlie develops a split personality and his outrageous opposite, Hank, is born! Hank s got a filthy mouth, a bad attitude and a short fuse. When Charlie falls crazy in love with the beautiful but wanted Irene, he must wage war with himself for the confused Irene s affections.

System Requirements:
Starring: Jim Carrey, Ren e Zellweger, Anthony Anderson, Mongo Brownlee, Jerod Mixon, Chris Cooper, Michael Bowman, and Richard Jenkins.

In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a cop for the best police force in the world (Rhode Island). In denial about his wife's affair, he's a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but is taken advantage of every step of the way. Instead of confronting people, he takes the abuse, balls it up, and hides it in the pit of his stomach. His psyche can only take so much, though, and soon his alter-ego Hank pops out to do every libidinous thing Charlie would never do. It's a great premise for a Jim Carrey film. Unfortunately, it's not a great Jim Carrey film. Famous for the lowbrow, shock comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary, here the Farrelly brothers get lost in a series of lazy gags and an even lazier plot about some evil golf development and the woman, Irene (Renée Zellweger), who needs to be protected because she knows something about it. Some of the jokes hit (there's a bathroom scene that's 10 times funnier than the hair-gel gag in There's Something About Mary), but many more miss. There are some great concepts (his three sons are hip-hop geniuses) that don't go anywhere (they swear a lot). It's like the movie itself has a split personality--funny ideas trapped in a less-than-funny film. --Andy Spletzer

Customer Reviews:

Jims most sickest funniest movie ever!.......2007-09-08

I found this movie very funny jim carrey plays a normal guy who get's pushed around all the times which starts by having his wife stolen by a midget limo driver being left alone raising 3 black sons who they are the only ones who respect charley baily gates and think of him as a father. Charley has exploded and had a skitzo by turning into another phyco who doesn't avoid confrontation hank evans who has been getting revenge from others who push charley around. The movie gets even funnier that will make you laugh so hard anyone who hasn't seen it should see it and I really think they should make a sequel to this movie. And by the way anyone who thinks this movies overrated you suck. I suggest you pay no attention to these critics probably too many concerned mothers review this movie.

For junior high boys.......2007-06-15

As I watched this disaster of a movie I kept wondering for whom it was made and concluded that the director had aimed for the 12-year old boy who was not too bright. But 12-year olds, in theory, were not permitted to see it because of the R rating. So where does that leave the movie?

The supposed humor is bathroom, racist, stupid and repetitive. The plot is simply a long chase for reasons that are murky. The movie insults blacks, albinos, police, and Renee Zellweger. And all those who watch the movie, I might add.

Jim Carrey has made some fine movies, "The Truman Show," for example, and Zellweger has done likewise, "Chicago," for example. Didn't either of these two good actors know "Me, Myself and Irene" was an abomination when they first read the script? Or when they were making it?

Funny...but unbalanced.......2007-04-14

3.5 stars. This was a stronger movie than I expected. The first hour, I literally had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. The cow scene, to me, was just priceless. But honestly, I didn't quite understand what Irene was supposed to know and how it involved the characters chasing them and frankly I don't care. This is by no means Carrey's best work, since he was obviously trying to channel Dirty Harry for his Hank character, but he successfully gets me to care about Charlie. His three 'sons' in my opinion were waaay over the top and could have been toned down quite a bit. Zwellger obviously did this film because she was dating Carrey at the time. The results was that she came across more as a prop than a real character and that's remarkable for someone with her talent. The Farrelly brothers' oddball comedy is a hit in most areas which makes it easy to recommend this comedy if you're truely in a goofy mood.

For the first 45 or so minutes of the film, I haven't laughed harder in my life.......2007-04-01

The first 45 minutes of Me, Myself and Irene are so
wrong, so self depricating, and so dark (in terms of humor)
that it brought on tears.. tears of laughter..
I think the movie kind of tails off a bit during the
development of Renee Zelweger and Jim Carrey's relationship,
but like I said, the beginning of the movie
makes it all worth it.. if you're looking for rude, over
the top comedy that is vulgar and innapropriate, you've
knocked on the right door.

Go For It!.......2007-02-18

This is one of the funniest movies that has been made in recent years, Jim Carrey is the master of physical comedy and proves himself once again in this movie. The only problem is that it runs a little too long for this story and does start to fizzle out towards the end, but it is overall really funny and one of my favorite movies to watch.

Amazon.com

This gritty 1997 film marks the merging of several budding talents: sisters Sylvia and Alex Sichel, who serve as writer and director, and actors Alison Folland (To Die For), Tara Subkoff, and Murmurs singer Leisha Hailey. The idea behind the movie was the Sichels' awe at ever having survived being teenage girls in the big city.

All Over Me is about Claude (Folland) a shy, overweight teen who works in a pizza parlor after school and is secretly in love with her best friend Ellen (Subkoff). But Ellen is far ahead of Claude in development. She has an older boyfriend, and she harbors a bad case of destructive self-loathing that erupts frequently and with a fury. But All Over Me isn't just a teenage cautionary or coming-out tale. It's as much a story of New York and its unbearably long, hot summers as it is the downtown music scene or teenage dreams and struggles with adult issues. More than that, it's a well-made film that has its own rhythm, working slowly to give us insight into the girls' natures. It succeeds admirably in taking us back to that age when everything seemed possible despite the dangers of the city closing in. Growing up has never felt as close to home or as scarily realistic. --Paula Nechak

Description

If you've forgotten what it's like to be fifteen, it all comes crashing back in this wonderfully edge look at the relationship between a sensitive, vulnerable young girl named Claude and her beautiful, quick-witted best friend Ellen.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!.......2007-07-15

As a lesbian teen I am not faced with many options to get the kinda love story that I crave. So, tired of the whole boy-gets-girl(blah!) routine, I decided to do a little researching. So I came across All Over Me(thank god!) on the Independent Film Channel. And now I watch it EVERY time that it is on, no matter what! For example, it was on last night at 7:30, then this afternoon at 12:45, and I watched it both times! This movie is definately the NEXT movie that I buy of here when I get the cash! This is a must see! Definately for the lesbian teens out there!

Not Another Teen Coming Out Movie.......2007-05-09

This movie really helped me to begin to feel more comfortable as a young woman coming into my own. This movie really hits it home that sometimes the best thing to do in life is to leave those from your past and follow the path that is right for you. The movie also bravely illustrates that no matter how much we may try, we cannot make another person follow the right path, even if it might mean the difference between life and death in that person's life.

Great.......2007-03-16

Except for a few rough spots, I loved this film. The way it portrays love, hate, and prejudice is excellent. Overall, a great film.

Coming of age.......2006-07-29

I brought this movie on a wim. It turn out this movie is great. it deals with teenager love no less about lesbian love. Takes place in new york. This is not a movie for everyone because it kind of slow pace. but if you have some time to actually witness a good movie about what it's like to be a teenager then by all means.

..................2005-10-24

This movie was okay...it's really slow paced, and is a low-budget film. I wouldn't buy it, I would rent it though or record it from showtime or something. There was something I didn't care for and i'm not sure what it is.....just so slow.....

Boring.......2007-04-04

This video was not fun at all for me or baby. There was no music, and it seems like she just taped it in her basement. I agree that it was not interactive with the baby at all.

BORING!!!!.......2007-03-07

I was really disappointed with this video. The only positive is that it does give a good arm workout (my arms were sore the next day), which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. Oh, and the video is broken into two 15-minute workouts that can be done separately. Specific negatives:
--It looks like a home video shot at the local gym. The setting is literally an aerobic room at a gym. There is no music at all. And the instructor is really blah. All this adds up to very boring!
--Most of the exercises are not interactive with baby. Rather, baby sits on your belly during crunches or on your lap while you use free weights to do arm exercises.
--The ab exercises are really repetitive.
I have other mom & baby dvds and I know I am not likely to use this one again. The other videos I have involve a lot more involvement of baby in the exercises (e.g., lifting him for arm exercises, doing "airplane" with him on my legs for abs) which my son loves - it makes me look forward to working out with him and that motivates me. He was really bored and restless during this dvd. The other videos I've used also have gorgeous outdoor settings and music - just overall more interesting to look at. I definitely do not recommend this one.

Workout for Mommy and Ben.......2006-03-25

I have been doing the abdominal workout with my son, Benjamin and we really enjoy it a lot. Ben thinks it's funny that mommy is making funny faces while doing those crunches.

I love how Kira and her daughter work out in a simple, home like setting. The workout looks simple but believe me with a baby sitting on your belly/legs it can be really challenging. My son is 4 months old now and the length of the abdominal workout is just right for him he would probably get fussy if it was any longer (and probably mommy too:))

We haven't really tried the upper body excercises with the weights but they also look like a good workout.

My baby loves it as much as I do!.......2006-02-05

As a mommy of a 6 month old, I don't always have time to make it to the gym, but by doing this at home and involving him, it not only got me back in shape, but allowed some one-on-one quality time with my son. I highly recommend all of Kira's videos! As I had stated in another review, these make wonderful shower gifts too!!!!

Good ab workout for non-mom's too!.......2005-12-10

I love Kira's workouts! Even though I have no children, I got this one for the 15-minute ab workout. I use a dumbell weight instead of a baby for a harder workout. These are great exercises! And to be honest, watching Kira's baby participating during the workout is a riot! I do the arm workout with both arms instead of the one-arm at a time as shown. It's great when I am short on time because it hits all my main trouble spots!

My children and I love the music on the Noodlebug videos! There are great new versions of old favorites and many songs written for these videos by Chuck Brown. The "Haircut" song is a favorite, as well as "Bathtime is done". This video presents a segment on feelings as well, with expressive faces and the song, "If You're Happy". The version of "Where is Thumbkin" is funny because only the first verse is sung, thereby avoiding the awkwardness of singing about "Tall Man". The video does teach the children the names of each finger so they can sing later. The animations and children on these videos are adorable, and we recommend this video for the songs at the very least.
