Movie Reviews of Moby Dick
Movie Review: "HE BREACHES!!!!!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Call me Ishmael. What a great line and what a great way to begin a wonderful story. John Huston, Ray Bradbury, and Gregory Peck are all at the pinnacle of their craft. Peck's portrayal of the vengeful Ahab is nothing short of brilliant. Huston creates a creepy atmosphere which makes my hairs stand on end and knocks the wind out of you with its foot on your chest until the tension is released with a haunting climax that will not leave you for hours. This is truly one of the great feature films of the 20th century and it deserves a better release than this but at least it is available in a decent print. Some of the best dialogue ever uttered on the screen is here. "From Hells heart I stab at thee..."Movie Review: Haunting
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a scene in this movie as the Penrod sets sail in which Starbuck looks off in the distance and sees his wife and young children bidding him farewell as he departs. The captured look on his face as he looks into the distance towards them seems to indicate his thought he will not return to them. This scene is punctuated by a part of the haunting musical score that underlies this dramatic, but understated scene....That image has struck with me ever since seeing this many years ago....Movie Review: DVD extraordinary
Summary: 5 Stars
This has always been one of my favorite movies. I have seen it at the theatre (twice)and owned it on VHS (3 copies) and Betamax. I have seen it dozens of times, but the DVD version is really amazing. The old 1950's sound is still crappy, but the details in the video portion were like I'd never seen it before. Even if you have the VHS version, you owe it to yourself to get the DVD.Movie Review: A classic movie - all kids should see
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read the book many times, have owned a VHS copy for years and finally decided to breakdown and but a DVD copy.
Got 2 teenage boys and managed to convince them this was worth watching. We watched it together and although compared to the production quality of today's flicks, they were glued to the plasma display.
And talked about for several days after.
Movie Review: Moby Dick
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Gregory Pecks finest roles other then in To kill a Mockingbird.
He was captain Ahab. Great story line, very true to Melvilles novel.
I read Moby Dick in high school and as a college project, now I see even more clearly what melville was talking about.
"I'll get thee whale", you had better believe it!
