Wholesale and Distribution Movie Reviews

I believe Xenia Seeberg is outrages in this comedy. Her ability to portray a child at several different ages, is amazing!
The satire of Nick Lyons combined with the versitility of Seebergs acting skills is a one two three punch! I hope to see more of their combined work in the future!

This is the perfect film for those of us who love the classic Shaw Bros. films of the 1970's.Films like Vengeance and Man of Iron.
Shaw star Chen Kuan Tai is in fine form,using his Monkey Fist expertise to great use.
Production value is top notch.Only drawback is a sagging story line.But the action more than makes up for it.
The DVD is hosted by Shaw Star Philip Ko Fei,who gives a great interview and demonstration.
The highlight extra is a documentary on the Shaw Studio,hosted by David Chiang.
A great film in a great package!

I loved it. One of BET's best movies. Always kept me wondering who was the killer. Way to go BET Movies.

This has got to be the best value for money on Amazon!
Two of Donnie's greatest films for one price.
Circus Kids is in English version,and High Voltage is in the original Chinese language(much better that way!).
High Voltage is especially good in the action and story line.

Buying this DVD is a no brainer!

After the successful reenactment of Pickett's Charge for the movie "Gettysburg," it was only a matter of time before someone took advantage of other such reenactments to put together some ambitious documentaries dealing with other Civil War battles. This first volume of "Historic Battles of the Civil War" was created exclusively for DVD, and has incredible scenes filmed simultaneously with five cameras. The result is that you have the feeling of watching images of the actual battles instead of Hollywood style versions. This first volume in what promises to be an exciting series offers two battles: "Chickamauga--High Tide in the West" covers the Confederacy's efforts to drive Federal troops out of Tennessee in early autumn of 1863, which climaxed in the Battle of Chickamauga. "The Tennessee Campaign of 1864--The Last Fight for Nashville," covers the Confederate attempt to recapture the Tennessee capitol. This particular episode features one of the largest battle reenactments ever filmed with 9,000 participants near Nashville. These first-rate documentaries have voice-over narration in the manner of the celebrated Civil War documentary by Ken Burns. This DVD also includes all of the Civil War music as a soundtrack album and archives of Civil War photographs. If you are a Civil War buff who loved the reenactment elements of "Gettysburg" and "Glory," then this DVD will provide you with two hours of similar fare. Whether you are watching the soldiers at camp or on the battlefield, you will find the "realism" compelling and you will eagerly await the next volumes in the series.

This movie documents the murder of Holly Maddux by Counterculture hippie Ira Einhorn(Unicron). This is an excellent film based on the history of the relationship between the monster Einhorn and innocent Holly. Einhorn murdered this poor girl and then left her body in a trunk in his closet for 18 months before the police found it.
Incredibly he was given bail and escaped to France, finally to be tracked down and eventually brought to justice in October of 2002 when after fighting many appeals and extradition in France he was convicted and sentenced to life in Prison. The movie details the trials up till 2001, so it's a little outdated. The film, though, is important as it spotlights the hypocrisy of the hippie counterculture, it shows how one of its leaders, who preached peace, only ruined people's lives and was a violent monster. We learn how conservative values turn out better in the end and how most liberals secretly beat and cheat on their wives and abort innocent lives. A wonderful account, much to learn here!

I loved this movie. It kept me wondering who the killer was. Another great BET Movie. Good job BET.

This was a great movie to watch, I saw the title on tv and decided to fufill my curiosity in watching it, it was great! Lots of action, funny quotes and one greatest bad guys of all time, this movie is worth every penny!

Lots of stars and industry pros to watch. They all give some pretty insightful info on what they think it takes to make it in music. Ghostface is hillarious, and why is he in a bathroom?!?!

Overall, this movie definitely pumps me up and makes me want to go practice my beats!

MASTER P, NELLY, G UNIT, SCARFACE, KRS ONE, FAT JOE, GHOSTFACE, LOON..... THE LIST GOES ON & ON.
SO MANY OF HIP HOP'S GREATS AND THEY ALL KEEP IT REAL ABOUT EVERYTHING. ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS HIP HOP GAME RAW & UNCUT. NOTHING WATERED DOWN!!
A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN OF HIP HOP MUSIC.

IN A GLASS CAGE is an obscure and rather hard to stomach Spanish (kind of) arthouse horror movie. It has a rather bad reputation for being one of the most disturbing movies ever committed to celluloid and when I did some online research prior to placing my order on amazonÂ's website I found lots of stories of whole audience walk-outs durings screenings of the film.
While I personally think that the film does not exactly live up to his bad reputation and feel that the shock value is a bit overrated (admittedly this could be due to my familarity with the plot prior to watching it) make no mistake about it: Most people will find story and events in this movie completely revolting and disgusting. I kidd you not.
IN A GLASS CAGEÂ's story concerns Klaus, a paedophile and former Nazi concentration camp doctor who had conducted horrifying experiments on children during the war. Confined helplessly to an iron lung (the glass cage of the title) after a failed suicide attempt, he lives with his wife Griselda and daughter Rena very isolated in exile in Spain. One day, a young man blackmails Klaus in order to be hired as a nurse. It is obvious that the intruder does not simply wants a job and KlausÂ' past is linked to this young man...What unfolds is an horrifying tale about the attraction of evil and a cycle of ever repeating abuse and terror.
While the film is not overly graphic in its murder scenes, the film is often quite hard to watch, most notably when Angelo stabs a young boy with a gasolene filled syringe in the heart. However what is far more shocking is the sickness of the movieÂ's theme of child abuse. It has to be said however that IN A GLASS CAGE is not a nasty horror film, exploiting a serious issue for questionable entertainment value. It is in fact quite intellectual demanding and you have a lot to think about after the end of the film (the cycle of ever repeating abuse and terror, the political subtext).
It is also very well made, boasting an impressive cinematography with images that linger long in the mind of the viewer. Kudos to the excellent actors for their powerhouse performances in very difficult and challenging roles.
As said before this is an demanding movie which will most likely upset and deeply shock most audiences. If in doubt, do not watch.

However I was not overly impressed with the DVD. Picture quality is acceptable, however far from outstanding.
Annoyingly there is little in the way of extras, just some well written liner notes (well written, but somehow pointless, since only stating the obvious) and a highly interesting but too brief interview with director Agustin VILLARONGA.
Thankfully the optional English subtitles are easy on the eyes.

I saw this movie at a midnight screening in New York City about ten years ago expecting a movie loaded with blood and dismemberments. Instead, I got a movie lacking in gore, but high on psychological horror.

The movie is about Klaus, a Nazi war criminal and child molester exiled in Spain with his family, who ends up confined to an iron lung (a huge metal and glass breathing aparatus, the "glass cage" of the title). One day, a young man named Angelo shows up at his home demanding a private meeting with him. Against his wife's wishes, Klaus agrees to see Angelo, who walks out of the meeting with a new position as Klaus's live-in caretaker. He soon takes over the household and reveals his true reason for being there: Angelo had been one of Klaus's victims as a child, but rather than returning to exact revenge, he wants to learn from Klaus and reenact his atrocities.

The movie doesn't have any explicit gore, but it doesn't flinch at other disturbing visuals either. While most films that feature child murders only allude to them and have the crimes occur offscreen, director Agustín Villaronga doesn't hesitate to show a little boy's throat being sliced. More disturbing than any of the child murders, though, is how Angelo gains complete control of the household, including the full trust of Klaus's young daughter. It's the thought of evil having such seductive power that will haunt you long after the credits roll.

This movie is clearly not for everybody, and fans of mainstream cinema will likely brand this exploitation, but for those with a strong stomach and a taste for something different, this horror classic, long overdue on DVD, will be a real treat.
