DVD Reviews of Diamond Head

DVD Review: Colorful and entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars

This story is set in 1959 Hawaii. Charlton Heston plays 'King' Howland, a plantation owner who is running for senate. Yvette Mimeux plays Sloane, his much younger sister, recently returned from San Francisco after finishing college. With her, she has childhood chum, Paul Kahanna, (Bobby Darren) whom she has decided she wants to marry. Paul is 100% pure Hawaiian! Paul's mother, who regrets the loss of her ethnic group through intermarriage with Caucasians, never-the-less offers an engagement party at her house. King objects to the idea of marriage, and so does Sloane's sister-in-law, Laura. Laura arrived on the island many years ago to help raise Sloane after King's wife and son died in a tidal wave. Laura wants to marry King, but King's heart is small - he only wants no-strings sex with his girlfried, Mai Chen. But Mai has other plans; she wants to trap King into marriage by getting pregnant. Also thrown into the mix is Dr. Kahanna, Paul's half-Hawaiian/half Caucasian brother who despises the wealthy Howlands, yet is undeniably attracted to the beautiful, headstrong Sloane. The Howlands have always been a close-knit, unlikeable clan despite their extensive philanthropy. Will Sloane follow through with her plan to break away from Howland family traditions? Will King grow a heart? Will Mai and her slimy brother ruin King's chances to be elected senator? Will any ethnic Hawaiians be seen in this movie? One of my favorite scenes is where Paul and Sloane do a Hawaiian dance at their engagement party. A fun, soapy movie.

DVD Review: Charleton Heston at one of his best
Summary: 5 Stars

Charleton Heston was great in this role. Of course this is another one of the great older movies. There is nothing better then the oldies.
