Amy Fisher

A new name, a family, and a run from the nickname "Long Island Lolita" has not stopped Amy Fisher from stepping in front of the cameras for money. TV tabloids even arranged a "reunion" between Joey Buttafuoco, his wife Mary Jo (who Amy shot in the midst of the love triangle) and Amy, only to have it disintegrate into an expletive filled shouting match. Do people really care anymore? Read the entries below to find out.

The Amy Fisher Story
By:
List Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $69.99

Amazon.com
Made for television in 1993, and starring Drew Barrymore during her "bad girl" period, The Amy Fisher Story is arguably the best of the film adaptations made about the Long Island Lolita. Any film would have its hands full trying to depict the chaotic chain of events and tangled plot of the infamous shooting, so rather than refine any single viewpoint, the story unfolds with a Rashomon-like quality, depicting the tale of the assault in a series of flashbacks. Sometimes this leads to flashbacks within flashbacks, and even flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks, but don't worry, we've got ominous musical cues and grainy 16mm black-and-white stock to help us keep the story straight, which is more than we had at the time.

The movie does take a critical look at the television and print tabloids and their roles in the inflation of this event. It awkwardly, perhaps a little self-consciously, depicts the escalating and infringing influence of the media until it is impossible to extricate the reporters from the reported. Ultimately the "detached" press finds itself posting portions of Amy's bail, recording Joey's defense on live shock radio, encouraging those closest to the players to record supposedly intimate conversations, and then cheerfully reporting the ensuing pandemonium with a tsk-tsk aside and a sly wink. Couple all this with the wonderfully studied performance of Drew Barrymore, whose dialect and mannerisms are spot-on Amy, and the smarmy performance of Anthony John Denison as Joey Buttafuoco (you can actually smell the WD40) and you get a fun 90-minute movie. --Steffan Ziegler

Anything goes, so guests must be ready to let go of their inhibitions. If they don't play along they'll be asked to leave. And the most important rule is that what happens stays inside.

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Drew Barrymore is not in this film. She's in The Amy Fisher Story
I was surprised to see the information wrong here. Lethal Lolita, which, imo, is the best of the Amy Fisher films, stars Noelle Parker as Amy Fisher, and of the three actresses who played Amy in each of the three films, Parker gave the best depiction of a Long Island teenager (I lived on Long Island for many years, in a town not far from where the Buttafuoccos had their body shop.)
When this case was still in the news, I followed it case closely, and like a lot of other people then, saw all three films. This seemed to be the most believable. Parker is great, and so is Ed Molinaro.

Mark Twain - A Film Directed by Ken Burns
By:
List Price: $24.99
Amazon Price: $16.39

Amazon.com
Given the legendary life of its subject, it's not surprising that Mark Twain is perhaps the most entertaining documentary Ken Burns has made. The creator of The Civil War and Jazz achieves reverent harmony with the magnificent story of Missouri-born author Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain), encompassing legend and fact with an exhilarating sense of adventure. Hailed by Hemingway as the originator of American literature, Twain (a nom de plume taken from a riverboat pilot's term for "safe waters") viewed himself as the American. Burns's film backs that claim as it follows Clemens's literary odyssey around the globe, from unrivaled acclaim as a writer to near destitution and the devastating deaths of his wife and three children. As usual, eloquent writers and scholars (including longtime Twain performer Hal Holbrook) provide a wondrous flow of anecdotes and observations, recounting Twain's remarkable humor while acknowledging a darker side that felt anger toward an indifferent god. Like all of Burns's films, Mark Twain is must-see viewing. --Jeff Shannon

Candy Von Dewd

Pseudo-Psychedelic Silliness
Earthmen are having trouble breeding. Spaceships filled with men armed with potency pills are scouring the galaxy looking for women to breed with. We follow the adventures of one such ship.

Our ship finds a planet that is full of women wearing latex bondage-wear. When they run into trouble, one of them suggests calling Candy Von Dewd to come to their rescue. Candy spends her time dancing on her ship while hoping she will reach the men in time.

In the end we have to wonder what is going on. Candy does not do anything. Potency pills apparently kill the user. Was the mission successful or not? The ship scenes and crew interaction seem to have been inspired but Dark Star (but not done as well). The psychedelic nature of the film seems to have been crafted by someone who had heard of the term but didn't know what it meant. By the way, the costume malfunction was on Candy and not one of the planet residents as mentioned in another review.

I am not sure that any viewer could be desperate enough to enjoy this film.

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Beyond bad, but perfect for Halloween background.
Well, I worked as Asst. Lighting on this and was dissapointed with it when I first saw the film. You know. It's your first time getting to work on anything beyond you or your friend's videos/films and you are hopeing this will be the 90's "Night of the Living Dead." That was 10 years ago and I've mellowed towards it over the time. If you are throwing a Halloween Party this movie is perfect to throw on and just have playing in the background, sound off. The major dissapointment here is that the actual location was extremely scary. When we would move locations and shoot in another part of the building, all lights went with them and people got sent by themselves with a flashlight to go pick up anything that was left. Trust me going around in that place alone like that was scary!!! None of this is present in the film however and the movie is really bad in all areas. The biggest thing making the film difficult to even sit through is the horrible audio. I would really like to know if [..]the original audio tapes and if there is someway that the sound could be improved. The other thing making the film beyond your normal bad is that many of the shots are out of focus because of the crap lens this ancient 16mm camera had. On a new and ahead of its time note, this movie has an annoying kid get killed and a male be the lead survivor, not just have him be the surviving girl's boyfriend. [..]

Painfully bad acting!
I bought this DVD actually thinking I was buying a different movie that I loved a few years ago. Besides the disappointment that it wasn't the movie I thought it was. STILL, the acting is just plain BAD. Ice-T was even a terrible actor in this film. And I like Ice-T as an actor! 95% of this film takes place in an abandoned warehouse and just drags on and on. The plot is so simple, how can anyone screw it up? BAD ACTING! Don't waste your time. Unless you have too much time on your hands...

The weekend! We flew home Friday afternoon and all anyone on the plane could talk about was the debate. Bad for Biden because he named a place called "Katie's" that he visits for a meal and it apparently closed in the 80s. People were laughing about that -- even people saying they were voting for Obama. The other big thing was Biden's getting choked up. People remember the way the press went after Hillary for just having her eyes well up. She didn't cry. Last week, Biden cried several times onst
