Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Silkwood: One Of The Best
Wonderful intriguing movie. Makes you wonder and Think, like a good movie should. I hope Mike Nichols decides to do a movie on the 2008 Presidential Primary race: how Hillary Clinton received more votes than any of her rivals, and more votes than any Presidential ...

Home for the Holidays

Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great underrated film
This great story about a more "normal" family than most will ever admit starts funny and ends nicely (and you will need to pay attention to get it). In between we are taken on a roller coaster ride of insanity, dark humor, insight, observation and discomfort - as in ...

Sneakers (Collector's Edition)

Robert Redford, Dan Akyroyd

Universal Studios, 2004

Sneakers - the perfect action comedy!
I first saw Sneakers when I was about 13 years old. I was fascinated beyond belief that hackers could be so powerful and that computers could be so powerful. That was back in 1993 or 94 - and it seams a world away now. One wouldn't think that Sneakers could still have ...

Simon Birch

Ian Michael Smith, Joseph Mazzello

Walt Disney Video, 1999

Highly Recommended!!
Very interesting story. The movie captures ones attention right from the start and doesn't let go until the end. It has the deeper meaning behind it, which allows one to continue to ponder the meaning long after the completion of the movie. Highly recommended!

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer

20th Century Fox, 2003

Very Enjoyable
Shakespeare would probably roll over in his grave but we both really enjoy this version of the classic. Funny throughout and well done.

L.A. Confidential

Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe

Warner Home Video, 1998

Superb
All comments linking L.A. Confidential to film noir are absolutely valid. Nevertheless, I don't love this movie because of what it compares to - it's a milestone of cinema that stands on its own two feet. There is no superfluous scene, no useless dialog that distracts ...

The Bourne Ultimatum (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD]

Matt Damon, Joan Allen

Universal Studios, 2007

THERE'S A NEW "JB" IN TOWN AND IT'S NOT JAMES BOND!
The Bourne series is more like an installment than three separate films, but I will say they don't disappoint! This is another solid, smart action film with our new hero doing what he does best!.......outsmarting and out fighting his enemies every step of the way. This ...

My Blueberry Nights (The Miriam Collection)

Jude Law, Norah Jones

Weinstein Company, 2008

Diners, Trains, Gamblers, Love in Slo-Mo
"My Blueberry Nights" represents Wong Kar Wai at the peak of his craft. Not the stylistic transition I had expected as much as a translation of a directors vocabulary into a different spoken language. Which seems to make little difference, as Mr. Wong speaks a ...

The Bourne Ultimatum (Widescreen Edition)

We Are Marshall (Widescreen Edition)

Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Fox

Warner Home Video, 2007

Motivating. Inspiring. Touching.
When I first heard about this movie, I was skeptical. A few months later, I decided to buy and watch it for the first time. Truth be known, this is a moving movie. There are times when you laugh and there are times when you cry. I don't ever recalling a sports movie ...

A League of Their Own

Tom Hanks, Geena Davis

Sony Pictures, 2002

Special Edition 2 discs DVD
I luv this movie and I am a guy. Penny Marshall has got to be my favorite director. Am not collector but I just had to have this DVD 'coz the scenes in this movie is so memorable. Disc1 is a double-side for normal screen and widescreen, both 5.1 tracks. Disc2 is ...

Fracture (Widescreen Edition)

Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Gosling

New Line Home Video, 2007

Edgy Gripping sharply scripted drama
What appears as a cut and dried murder twists and turns and has many clever and unexpected changes in direction. Great performances by Anthony Hopkins and matched by young Ryan Gosling. Dont miss this.

At Close Range

Sean Penn, Christopher Walken

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

"Hands Down, A Winner"
"At Close Range" is a classic example of a movie in which all aspects of the filmmaker's art shine; if it isn't already, it should be required viewing for students in film schools. First of all, the Kazan script, which details the growing into manhood of the Sean Penn ...

Memphis Belle

Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz

Warner Bros. Pictures, 1998

A fun and entertaining film.
If you are a World war 2 enthusiast, like I am, you have to see this film, it may not be the best film of the genre, but it is very entertaining and gives the viewer a glimpse of the war from the perspective of the ones who fought in it.
