Movies have a life all their own. Besides the entertainment value they provide, there are also the lasting material things that remain as reminders of these wonderful (and not so wonderful) films. These things serve as reminders to the movie going public and may have some intrinsic value as well. Examples of the above are the movie posters, collectibles, props and other miscellaneous items that are produced by the ad agencies, special effects artists, hobby enthusiasts, toy manufacturers, and even movie enthusiasts.

One of the most familiar movie items is the advertising posters one sees outside the theater. These can be quite colorful and are designed to stimulate one’s imagination and lure the potential viewer into the theater. These posters have been divided into the particular genre such as: Westerns, Horror, Sci-Fi, and War. Some of these divisions can have special groups of movies all unto themselves. For instance: Star Wars or James Bond. One poster for the 1967 James Bond spoof, “Casino Royale” is presently selling for $300 USD and a poster for the first James Bond movie, “Dr. No” (1962) is selling for $3,000 USD. Posters have become such big business that there is a company that specializes in restoring them using a linen background. Their value just increases with time.

Another group of movie items that is much sought after are the props used in making the movies. Today with computer graphics some of the characters, creatures, or other items may be totally fabricated in a computer generated model. There are still many props used on the big and little screens that are much in demand. Miniatures of much larger items such as space ships, landscapes, cities, or creatures are very detailed and amazingly real in appearance. The problem with props is that they are very limited and often times kept by the studio for further possible movies or they are dismantled. In this category there are also the replicas made by model companies and toy manufacturers. After all, if you can’t have the real thing you can also get (and afford) a replica.

Still another group of movie/TV related items that might be related to props are the statues and action figures. The statues are in a single pose and are usually sold by model companies. The action figures are designed to be handled and are made to be more durable. There is a growing market for these action figures. Their value is much higher if they are not removed from the box. These are essentially toys that are collected in the hopes that in the future they will have accrued in value a great deal.

By the way, my guess is, in reference to the Brad and Angelina story, that Angelina was making a fancy pasta dish for dinner, ran out of fresh tomato and needed to run to the store really quick. It appeared that she stormed out of the house because both kids begged to go with her so they could buy a candy bar. They were both wining and had been fighting with each other all day long. Angelina was fed up with their behavior and that accounts for the storming out of the house with both kids.

The brainchild of writer Joss Whedon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer originally entered American pop culture as a full-length feature film, starring Kristy Swanson, in 1992. But creator Whedon felt that the project never quite did justice to the full scope of his vision, so he managed turn the film into a television series in 1997. The result of Whedon’s increased artistic freedom is a series that has enjoyed both critical acclaim and audience notoriety. Nominated for 14 Emmy’s during its seven year run, the show managed to win only two (both in 1998 for Outstanding Makeup and Outstanding Music Composition in a television series). Yet, the true success for Buffy The Vampire Slayer is indicated by the massive success of the show’s long run, strong DVD sales, and the overwhelming success of the series spin-off Angel…

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the title role of Buffy Anne Summers, a teenage girl who stands alone among her generation as the “chosen one” able to “stand against vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer…” But Buffy is not alone in fulfilling her destiny as a slayer of vampires. She also receives help from the high school librarian, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), who is a Watcher - the one chosen to train and guide slayers on their developmental path. In addition, new friends Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan - of American Pie fame) and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon) quickly uncover the truth of Buffy’s destiny, and they often aid her in defending the world against evil forces…

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 3) DVD offers a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere “Anne” in which Buffy moves to L.A. and becomes a waitress hoping to forget her old life as a vampire slayer, but when she runs into some old friends, they end up trapped in an alternate dimension ruled by demons. Meanwhile, Willow, Xander, and Oz are doing their best to fight off the vampires in Sunnydale, but without Buffy’s powers, they experience only moderate success. When Buffy escapes the alternate dimension, she returns to Sunnydale… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include “Homecoming” in which Cordelia and Buffy become rivals for the title of Homecoming Queen, and “The Wish” in which Cordelia wishes that Buffy had never moved to Sunnydale (when a demon grants the wish, Cordelia’s world is turned upside-down)…

With its acerbic humor and quirky characters, Taxi is widely considered one of the funniest sitcoms in television history. Created by James L. Brooks (whose magic hand played a role in such hits as The Andy Griffith Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Simpsons), Taxi maintains a loyal following to this day via syndicated reruns. Sporting an all-star cast, the show introduced the world to the comedic talents of such superstars as Danny DeVito, Tony Danza, Marilu Henner, Andy Kaufman, and Christopher Lloyd…

Taxi follows the inner-workings of the Sunshine Cab Company, a New York City taxicab operation run by an insulting and tyrannical dispatcher named Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito). De Palma’s onerous tactics are dispensed from the safety of his small office “cage” in the corner of the body shop, while various cab drivers such as Alex Reiger (Judd Hirsch), Tony Banta (Danza), and Elaine Nardo (Henner) associate with one another. Throw in foreign mechanic Latka Gravas (Kaufman), and all the ingredients are in place for endless hours of laughter. As the characters perform their numerous runs, meet back at the shop, and deal with varying problems in their personal lives, audiences are treated to some of the best comedy ever to grace the small screen…

The Taxi (Season 1) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere “Like Father, Like Daughter” in which Elaine Nardo begins a part time job with the cab company where she meets the various characters who work for the outfit. When everyone discovers that the broken pay phone will allow them to call long distance for free, Alex uses the opportunity to call his ex-wife in Brazil (hoping to speak to his estranged daughter). But instead, Alex learns that his daughter is in Miami on layover while en route to Portugal. He commandeers a cab and drives down to see her… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include “Memories of Cab 804″ in which the various cabbies reminisce about their good and bad experiences in a recently damaged taxicab, and “Friends” in which Tony unwisely places the fate of his pet goldfish in the hands of his bestfriend Bobby…

If you want to get a real insight into the watchability - or otherwise - of the TV antique show genre, look no further than www.jumptheshark.com. This site dissects in often gruesome detail the reasons viewers switch off various television programmes and, as a platform for savage wit and character assassination, it’s hard to beat. BBCA may, indeed, offer entertainment value on its boards but it pales into insignificance opposite the shark.

Our American friends are renowned for their ability to tell it like it is, or isn’t, and this vox pop represents a fascinating demographic into the nature of collecting today. Some comments are very flattering and an ample body of viewers are much appreciative towards the PBS version of The Antiques Roadshow for both its human dimension and concentration on American heritage. Nonetheless, they encompass something of a minority and one is left with the impression that this programme is treated as fodder by TV executives looking for a way to fill endless schedules. The fact remains that this is reality TV at its most vicious and its deficiencies have often been grievously exposed, as the following examples indicate

“I occasionally turn this on when I need a good nap. The appraisers are all a bunch of gushing, effeminate snobs…”

“You can only listen to the same stupid line so many times. If people knew what their items were worth, why on earth would they stand for seven hours non-stop to show their stuff to an appraiser?”

“Well, in original condition, it’s worth $350,000 but since you stripped its patina with Lemon Pledge…”

“This show is utterly unwatchable. The values that they quote for very common junk are beyond comprehension. Need a true value for something? Research it on eBay - those are worldwide actual selling prices!”

A brainchild of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Futurama launched itself into homes across the galaxy in Spring 1999. Employing the same quick wit and visual humor that has made The Simpsons one of the most successful shows in television history, Futurama (despite its early cancellation in August 2003) maintains its own loyal cult following…

Set one thousand years in the future, Futurama follows the life of a modern day American pizza delivery boy named Fry who finds himself reanimated 1,000 years after being accidentally cryogenically frozen. Brought back to life, Fry hunts down his great, great, great nephew - a tinkering scientist named Professor Farnsworth - and spends his days working for his distant relative’s intergalactic delivery service alongside good friends, Leela (a female Cyclops) and Bender (a morally-challenged robot). As the characters (usually Fry and Bender) engage in various schemes throughout the universe, Professor Farnsworth and his crew meet up with a number of interesting characters and civilizations…

The Futurama (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the first episode of this Volume 4 DVD “30% Iron Chef” in which Bender’s dream of becoming a famous chef is dashed when his hero, Elzar, rejects his cooking. Joining a band of vagrant travelers, Bender meets Helmut Spragel - formerly the world’s greatest chef. Spragel personally trains Bender and provides him with a secret vile which contains “the essence of flavor”. Confident in his newfound abilities, Bender challenges Elzar to a one-on-one cook-off on the “Iron Cook” TV show… Other notable episodes from Season 4 include “Where No Fan Has Gone Before” in which Fry travels to the planet Omega 3 where all things Star Trek (including the show’s cast) have been banished by the galaxy, and “Jurassic Bark” in which Fry and Professor Farnsworth collaborate to bring Fry’s old dog Seymour back to life…

The wonderful feature film Akeelah and the Bee is about friendship, community, achievement, and love. If I had enough money, I would give multiple copies of this movie to every single educational institution in the world. I can’t give away that many DVD copies, but I can give a few and so can you.

“Akeelah Anderson can spell. She can spell better than anyone in her school in South Central Los Angeles, and she might have a chance at the nationals. Who can say? She sees the National Spelling Bee on ESPN and is intrigued. But she is also wary, because in her school there is danger in being labeled a “brainiac,” and it’s wiser to keep your smarts to yourself. This is a tragedy in some predominantly black schools: Excellence is punished by the other students, possibly as an expression of their own low self-esteem.”
— Roger Ebert

We see Akeelah as she struggles to get by in school. She’s never missed a spelling word, although she doesn’t study, but she does love words. She plays Scrabble on her computer. Her dad also loved words. He died when she was six, and now five years later she feels closer to her dad than her mother, a single, over-worked mom trying to raise a daughter with her own baby, Akeelah and her gangsta-wannabe brother.

This is a movie with relationships and my favorite one is between Akeelah and her best buddy, Georgia. Georgia is always supportive and she has dreams of her own. She wants to be a flight attendant. She is unwavering in her encouragement of Akeelah, and Akeelah repays with encouragement and support in kind. When Akeelah is invited to a birthday party for a fellow spelling bee contestant in the prestigious Woodland Hills area, Georgia goes with her. At the party, however Georgia refuses to get out of the car and instead chooses shopping at the mall. She knows she doesn’t fit in with Akeelah’s new friends. As Akeelah gains notoriety and becomes a local celebrity, Georgia sees Akeelah less and this saddens her, but she never fails to offer encouragement. They remain friends . . . and Georgia will probably grow up to be a flight attendant.

Throughout the movie, the characters never take the easy way out. There are so many clichés that could have been easily applied. They weren’t.

Akeelah meets every challenge with determination and pluck. She chooses her own path from forging her permission slip, to skipping a tutoring session, and to misspelling a word on purpose. She makes decisions and suffers the consequences.

Akeelah and the Bee is a movie that deserves to be shown over and over again to young people, old people, friends and strangers as well. Share the experience with your neighbors and students. Support your local schools at every opportunity. Now, that spells success.

Nominated for 19 Emmys and 5 Golden Globes, including Best TV Series - Drama, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman experienced the rare double victory of audience loyalty and widespread critical acclaim. Premiering in mid-season (January 1993), the hour-long CBS original series illustrated American frontier life like few other shows before it. Like the smash hit Little House On The Prairie, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman vividly portrays the hardship, struggle, and community kinship endemic to the era. One of the first Western-themed shows to cast a female doctor (as the star of the show nonetheless), Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman enjoyed a successful five-year run, marked by two highly-touted made-for-TV movies…

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman follows the exploits of Dr. Michaela “Mike” Quinn, a female doctor living in 19th Century America when that sort of thing was unheard of. Working for years as an assistant in her father’s New England medical practice, the death of her father prompts Dr. Mike to answer a want ad for a doctor in the thriving American frontier town of Colorado Springs. When she arrives, the town is taken aback, having expected she was a man. But Dr. Mike quickly endears herself with the townsfolk and expands her family by adopting three orphan children - Matthew (Chad Allen), Colleen (Erika Flores/Jessica Bowman), and Brian (Shawn Toovey). As the show progresses, she eventually marries local Byron Sully (Joe Lando), and the final seasons focus on the lives of their nuclear family. Sporting an assorted cast of loveable, and sometimes eccentric, characters, the town is never short of excitement or drama…

The Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (Season 4) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere “A New Life” in which Dr. Mike and Sully return to Colorado Springs following their honeymoon. Now they must learn to adjust to a changing township which is marked by its first ever bank, built by Bostonian Preston A. Lodge III… Other notable episodes from Season 4 include “One Touch of Nature” in which Dr. Mike struggles with the possibility that she may be unable to conceive, and “Woman of the Year” in which Dr. Mike is embarrassed to be nominated Woman of the Year (because she’s shy when it comes to boasting about herself)…

Based on a Richard Hooker novel of the same name, MASH was released in 1970 as a full-length feature film by 20th Century Fox before experiencing widespread success as a groundbreaking television sitcom in the Fall of 1972. The show’s brilliant integration of drama and comedy made it one of the most celebrated shows in TV history, culminating in an eleven year prime time series stint. The 1983 series finale of MASH made history as the program with the single largest audience in television history, beating out several SuperBowls and the fabled “Who Shot J.R.” episode of Dallas. With the proliferation of new television mediums, it’s a record likely to never be broken…

The sitcom is set in South Korea during American involvement in the Korea War (with M*A*S*H standing for “Mobile Army Surgical Hospital”). Buffered from the front lines by a mountain range and a minefield, the men and women of MASH were tasked with patching up wounded American soldiers. Unique to its genre, the cast of MASH was unusually large. Surgeons Dr. Benjamin Pierce (Alan Alda) and Dr. “Trapper” John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers) play the roles of excellent doctors who enjoy women and booze, while Dr. Frank Burns (Larry Linville) and Nurse Practitioner Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan (Loretta Swit) play foil to the two men’s shenanigans (due to a contract dispute, Rogers’ character was later replaced by Dr. B.J. Hunnicutt - played by Mike Farrell). The character of Frank Burns was also later replaced by Dr. Charles Emerson Winchester (David Ogden Stiers)…

Corporal Max Klinger (Jamie Farr) provides comic relief with his early attempts to procure a discharge by dressing in women’s clothing, and Father Francis Mulcahy (William Christopher) adds flavor to a diverse cast of characters. Also rounding out the cast are Lt. Col. Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson), Corporal Walter “Radar” O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff), and Col. Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan)…

The MASH (Season 5) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Bug Out” in which the entire MASH unit is forced to move out of their camp as the front advances against them. Hawkeye, Hot Lips, and Radar are left behind with an injured patient, but the Chinese attack is eventually counter-acted, and the MASH unit is able to move back to its original camp… Other notable episodes from Season 5 include “The Nurses” in which Nurse Baker’s husband arrives in camp (prompting Hawkeye and B.J. to put them in Hot Lips’ tent under order of ‘quarantine’), and “The Colonel’s Horse” in which Klinger is finally granted the discharge he’s hoped for, but then loses it because he gets excited…

You’ve undoubtedly had the experience of turning on your TV, for a long time now, “powered” by cable or satellite, and you realize to your regret, that there’s NOTHING on that you want to watch.

How can this be?

Hundreds of channels, such as the “Watching Paint Dry Channel” and “The Quilting Channel” and the “All Infomercials Channel,” and still, you have no interest in even pressing the remote.

“How could home entertainment get any worse?” you might wonder.

For an answer to that question, visit your video store. I’m not speaking of Blockbuster, which might be re-named, Blockheads, featuring the equivalent of radio’s Top 40 hits, ad nausea.

I’m talking about a reasonably stocked, medium sized establishment, occupying 2,500 or more square feet that contains “classic” movies, too.

Today, I could rent three for the price of two, so I went in and I was only able to emerge with ONE video, from thousands of choices. I invested the better part of twenty minutes scouring shelves until my eyes blurred.

As a kid I’d argue with my family about whether we should watch science fiction or a live variety show, both of which were engaging. That was a good problem, as it turns out.

I’d squirt home after school to tune in very old TV reruns, nearly every one of which was a winner, at least in my estimation. I actually LOOKED FORWARD to a number of programs.

Is that even possible today, given the choices?

Today, it must be easier than ever to break into show business with so many garbage channels available to display mediocre work products. Heck, you could probably start your own channel!

Supposedly, there was a “Golden Age of TV” somewhere in the 1950’s, but I believe there was a different one, in the 70’s and 80’s. During that time, in parts of Los Angeles, you could see the “Z Channel” on cable.

It was always a surprise, showing ultra-cool and hip movies you’d never heard of, and it was “programmed” by a guy who became a legend, in his own right.

There’s a documentary floating around about “Z” and this gent, and I commend it to you, if you can find it somewhere in the video aisles or in the airwaves.
