Giant (Perennial Classics)

Giant (Perennial Classics) Review



This sweeping tale captures the essence of Texas on a staggering scale as it chronicles the life and times of cattleman Jordan "Bick" Benedict, his naive young society wife, Leslie, and three generations of land-rich sons. A sensational story of power, love, cattle barons, and oil tycoons, Giant was the basis of the classic film starring James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson.

James and the Giant Peach: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

James and the Giant Peach: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Review



Roald Dahl's perennial bestseller about a boy's magical journey across the sea, James and the Giant Peach, celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2011. When James, a boy stuck living with his cantankerous aunts, is given magic crystals by a sympathetic wizard, he accidentally drops them at the foot of the peach tree outside his house, causing one of the fruits to grow the size of a house. Inside he finds oversized insects who promise him deliverance from his aunts, and soon the giant peach is rolling downhill, bound for the Atlantic Ocean and beyond on a magnificent adventure that will take James and his new friends far indeed.

Science Fiction Monster Classics Triple Feature (Gammera the Invincible / Night of the Blood Beast / Attack of the Giant Leeches)

Science Fiction Monster Classics Triple Feature (Gammera the Invincible / Night of the Blood Beast / Attack of the Giant Leeches) Review



Anytime you see 3 classic monster classics of this quality in one bright blood red amaray case, you know you're in for a treat! My favorite Japanese turtle; no, not the nijas, but Gammera, flys into the picture after shades of WWIII, and only plan Z can stop him... or can it? After all with Gamera on the rampage it just may be humanity's last desparate chance. No girl was safe as long as this head hunting thing roamed the land! That's the tag line from Night of the Blood Beast; actually an extraterrestrial stowaway with a plan to use it's victims as a breeding ground for alien embryos. A bit like Alien, but 30 years earlier, and a lot more fun to watch! Lastly the horror classic Attack of the Giant Leeches; in which a depraved sinister force threatend the back woods. The leeches are on a kidnapping spree, and it's up to the locals to battle the mammoth leeches in an explosive climax which should take you up to about midnight! Three classic Monster Sci-Fi features on one DVD.
