Amazing Stories: Book Four (Mirror Mirror, Blue Man Down, Mr. Magic) [VHS]

Product Rating :
This fourth volume of collected episodes from Steven Spielberg's 1980s anthology television series begins with some heavyweight talent. Martin Scorsese directs "Mirror Mirror," arguably the most frightening and accomplished episode from the show's entire run. Sam Waterston plays a wildly successful horror novelist who claims never to be frightened of the same scary stories that unnerve ordinary mortals. So he begins living one of his own, and terrifying it is: whenever he looks in a mirror or other reflective surface, Waterston's character sees a hideous ghoul stalking him, prepared for murder. The trouble is that there is no corresponding danger in the real world, although the ghoul is determined to get its hands on the beleaguered author.

Also on tap is "Blue Man Down," a solid action piece with supernatural overtones, written by Spielberg. Max Gail stars as a traumatized, guilt-ridden cop who blames himself for the murder of his young partner. His confidence shot and his nerves a wreck, the suffering hero attempts to hide within the lesser duties of traffic detail, only to find himself partnered with a compassionate, attractive female officer (Kate McNeil) who helps him get back on his feet and pushes him toward full duty again. The downside: no one else appears to see her. Actor-director Paul Michael Glaser does some of his best behind-the-camera work on this show.

Finally, Sid Caesar stars in "Mr. Magic," a sentimental tale of an aging, washed-up nightclub magician who purchases a set of cards with marvelous powers of flight. Rescued from the trash heap of small-time has-beens, Caesar's character gets a new lease on life when his cards take over the act, twirling, flying, mimicking people, and astounding audiences--with no help from Caesar. --Tom Keogh. ...Read more Details
