VHS Movie Reviews of The African Queen [VHS]

Movie Review: Stop Complaining About the Region of the Release
Summary: 4 Stars

People are complaining about this being a DVD release for another region. Just Google the all region unlock code for your DVD player and convert it to an all region player. The code is a combination of button presses on the remote and varies from player to player. This has worked every time with every DVD player I have owned. I don't know why more people don't know about this. Everyone thinks you have to go and buy an international standard DVD player when you can simply unlock your current DVD player's to play all regions.

Basically there are three groups of people:

1. Those who think they can't play the movie because it is another region.
2. Those who think the solution is shelling out money for a new all region player.
3. Those who buy whatever DVD player they want and simply enter the player's all region code to convert it to an all region player. Takes a few seconds and its free. It took me all of 5 minutes to convert my three different DVD players (different brands and different models) to all region players. Folks, stop making this so complicated. The all region code won't be in the player's manual but can usually be found by Googling it on line. The code will take you to a menu where you can set the player's region (select "all region"). You DON'T have to do this each time you use the DVD player - once it's set the conversion is permanent (unless you enter the same unlock code and change the region). If you set the player on all region, all regions will play - YES, even if it is NOT an all region player.

Movie Review: African Queen DVD (Last minute gift)
Summary: 4 Stars

The discription was confusing, I wasn't sure if the DVD was made in Japan or the US. Couldn't find a copy anywhere and needed to get one shipped for Christmas, so ordered it anyway. Delivery was fast and accurate. and the recipient seemed to be happy with it.

Thanks.

Movie Review: Well worth the wait.
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the greatest motion pictures of all time "The African Queen" finally gets released on a modern format. Years went by since the advent of DVD and one title that was mysteriously not to be found on store shelves was "The African Queen". Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn star in the romantic adventure film from legendary director John Huston. The film, set in Africa at the start of World War I tells the tale of a missionary (Hepburn) who is rescued by boozing river trader (Bogart), a character who would go on to inspire countless heros in other films such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark", as they battle against the rivers of the Congo, German soldiers and their attraction to each other.

Movie Review: no show

Summary of The African Queen [VHS]

The 1951 John Huston classic, set in Africa during World War I, garnered Humphrey Bogart an Oscar for his role as a hard-drinking riverboat captain in Africa, who provides passage for a Christian missionary spinster (Katharine Hepburn). Taking an instant, mutual dislike to one another, the two endure rough waters, the presence of German soldiers, and their own bickering to finally fall into one another's arms. This is classic Huston material--part adventure, part quest--but this time with a pair of characters who'd all but given up on happiness. Bogart (a longtime collaborator with Huston on such classics as The Maltese Falcon and Key Largo) and Hepburn have never been better, and support from frequent Huston crony Robert Morley (Beat the Devil, also featuring Bogart) adds some extra dimension and color. --Tom Keogh
