Anthony Hopkins

Red Dragon (Widescreen Collector's Edition)

Stanley Anderson, Bill Duke

Universal Studios, 2003

I wouldn't say this... if I didn't have lips.
"Red Dragon", the movie, is truly delicious. It stays true to the brilliant Thomas Harris novel of the same name. I can't help but chortle with wild, almost maniacal glee as I write this review! "Red Dragon" is my favorite of the three Harris novels. The ...

Amistad

Dreamworks Video, 1999

Educational and Entertaining!

Beowulf [Blu-ray]
Christopher Cummins, Neil Dickson

Paramount, 2008

Peter & Paul DVD

Anthony Hopkins

Vision Video, 2002

excellent
I teach scripture and I like the way this film is presented. I often show this film when to my classes when I'm teaching on the journeys of St. Paul. It's fairly accurate and entertaining to watch. I would definitely recommend it.

Legends of the Fall (Special Edition)

Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins

Sony Pictures, 2000

A beautiful drama.
I saw Legends in the theater back when it came out. I loved the cinematography; it's gorgeous just to watch the scenery. The script is well written and paced well. The acting is superb which is to be expected considering the cast. Hopkins is amazing as is Quinn ...

Beowulf (Director's Cut) [HD DVD]

Robin Wright Penn, Ray Winstone

Paramount Home Entertainment, 2008

Great despite naked men
I didn't like reading the epic poem beowulf in school, but they adapted it into a enjoyable action flick. All the changes they make add a lot of depth missing from the original story. Looks great on an HDTV.

Howards End - The Merchant Ivory Collection

Vanessa Redgrave, Helena Bonham Carter

Merchant Ivory, 2005

Howards End DVD
An excellent DVD of a classic movie. The second disk with rich information about the making of the movie was fascinating.

Alexander, Revisited - The Final Cut [Blu-ray]

Anthony Hopkins, David Bedella

Warner Home Video, 2007

A glorious mess, now in a spectacular HD transfer
The film: It's kind of funny how popular entertainment works. All I remember hearing about Oliver Stone's "Alexander" is that it was a horribly acted, poorly constructed shambles of a movie. Scanning the torrent of vituperative scorn heaped upon this film will give ...

Meet Joe Black (Ultimate Edition)

Fredric March, Evelyn Venable

Universal Studios, 2001

Some films are simply more appreciated in time: The Grim Reaper learns about Life
A 3 hour movie can seem daunting! NOT HERE! This film never loses touch or lapses. MEET JOE BLACK is a positively wonderful and uniquely engaging look at life and death.Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is a self made millionaire facing his 65th birthday and a possible ...

Fracture (Widescreen Edition)

Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling

New Line Home Video, 2007

The Making of Jack McCoy
I first saw this movie on HBO, and while I was glad I didn't pay money in a theater to see it, I still don't think it's the biggest waste of movie time ever. (I'm still trying to get back the 90 minutes of my life I lost to "The Forgotten," though I long since made ...

Alexander, Revisited - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Anthony Hopkins, David Bedella

Warner Home Video, 2007

the most extradordinary movie of all time
I loved alexander, such a beautiful movie, colin farrell was absolutely magnificent, no one & i mean no one could have played as beautifully as colin did, colin farrell & oliver stone each should have gotten an oscar for it & it's a shame they didn't & years to come ...

The Remains of the Day (Special Edition)

Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson

Sony Pictures, 2001

ah, the traditions of old, such wonderful chinks in the armor
I've finally bought this film on DVD and after only my second second viewing, the first being back in '94 on video, this film still captures a period in England before the second World War when nobles propped up their idiocy by assuming they knew what was best for all. ...

The Lion in Winter

Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A stunning portrayal of greed and corruption, and the price we pay for power...
Katherine Hepburn is considered one of the greatest actresses to ever grace the big screen. In fact, many of her devoted fans have coined the nickname `Kate the Great' when referencing this cinematic icon. In this day and age of modern cinema being compared to this ...

Pirates of Silicon Valley

Noah Wyle, Joey Slotnick

Turner Home Ent, 2005

The truth of the computer world
While not completely accurate, according to Woz, it is very informative, and a good film to watch. To see how we got all the computer info we have, and those responsible for it. Worth the cost.

The Silence of the Lambs (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Brilliant but yucky!!!!!!
There's no denying Hopkins mastery in this movie. Foster is equally masterful. The script, direction, atmosphere is simply brilliant. I'm not new to gore but I don't like the cannibal stuff. Yuck!!!!!!! A brilliant movie that will take its place in horror ...
