John Cusack

Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving

Warner Home Video, 2006

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen
Having not read the graphic novel on which this movie is based, I cannot (and would not) debate the faithfulness of the adaptation or its relative worth. I also cannot divine what the Wachowski brothers' intent or motivations might have been, especially regarding the ...

1408 (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

John Cusack

Weinstein Company, 2007

A Fantastic Movie, Mediocre 'Collectors' Edition
When 1408 was first released into theaters, I had heard mixed reviews, not from critics, but from friends of mine who had managed to catch screenings of it before I did. Not that that was hard to do, mind you, because I rarely, if ever, went to see films in the ...

While You Were Sleeping

Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman

Hollywood Home Video, 1998

One of the great fluffy chick flicks
Yes, I am one of "those girls". I can watch this over and over and still swoon over the sheer cuteness of a heartfelt comedy that happily takes the ridiculous in stride. This is Sandra Bullock at the top of romance game playing an orphaned subway employee whose crush ...

Better Off Dead

Yano Anaya, Curtis Armstrong

Paramount, 2002

Sorry your mom blew up Ricky
One of the best movies ever... just classic. "He's skiing on 1 SKI! umm.. And something is following them." Buy it.

Toy Story 2 (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Tim Allen, Jodi Benson

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2005

The Godfather 2 of Animated Movies
The movie itself is one of the best CG animated ever made. The delivery of the product was amazingly fast and brand new, as described. Great seller.

Sixteen Candles

Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall

Universal Studios, 2008

You know everyone in this family has gone total outer limits
Samantha Baker(Molly Ringwald) has just woken up on the most special day of her life, her long awaited 16th birthday, only everyone in her house has forgotten! She has a bratty little brother, a conceited sister who's getting married the next day, and two absent ...

War, Inc.

John Cusack, Hilary Duff

FIRST LOOK PICTURES, 2008

This movie is classic Cusack
As a fan of Cusack's since Gross Pointe Blank, I am glad to see him back as a kick-butting hit man. This time he's taken his comedic touch up a notch in my opinion, plus the message is so pertinent, that you just can't go wrong. Like most American's I too thought the ...

Serendipity

Kate Beckinsale, John Corbett

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2002

BEST I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR !!
While I have not seen all his movies, this makes me want to order more. I "get into" a movie if there chemistry between the characters. It did happen in this movie. In his romantic comedies, John portrays a "dreamy" character. His work in this film just added to ...

V for Vendetta [Blu-ray]

Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving

Warner Home Video, 2008

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen
Having not read the graphic novel on which this movie is based, I cannot (and would not) debate the faithfulness of the adaptation or its relative worth. I also cannot divine what the Wachowski brothers' intent or motivations might have been, especially regarding the ...

North & South

Daniela Denby-Ashe, Tim Pigott-Smith

BBC Warner, 2005

Exquisite. Eloquent. The best period piece ever filmed. Ever.
This series seems like a well-kept secret, and that's a real shame. Hands down, it's the best film series, historical or modern, I've ever seen. The handsome actor John Armitage should have won a boatload of awards for his portrayal of mill owner John Thornton. Such ...

1408 [Blu-ray]

John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson

Weinstein Company, 2008

If your a Stephen King fan, this will surely satisfy.
Most of the time, I go to High Def Digest for the latest reviews. Being that many people already have past titles on standard dvd, I alway's check to see if my money will be well spent on an upgrade. They gave this title a 3 star rating. I have alway's thought that ...

Say Anything

Amy Brooks, Jonathan Chapin

20th Century Fox, 2002

If you like John Cusack, you will love this movie
This is one of the most down to earth romantic movies I have ever seen. Who would not love to be the object of Lloyd Dobbler's affection. I can see this movie over and over again and never tire of it. John is an incredible actor and is so real, it stings at times.

Stand By Me (Special Edition)

Scott Beach, Marshall Bell

Sony Pictures, 2000

Stands By Its Reputation
STAND BY ME is an amazing film that totally captures small town life, the late 1950's and more universally what it's like to be at that in between age of 12 or 13. It is incredible how much we learn about the four friends - Chris, Gordie, Teddy and Vern - in a ...

Grosse Pointe Blank

John Cusack, Minnie Driver

Walt Disney Video, 1998

Grosse Point Blank
I loved this movie! The casting of Grosse Point Blank could not have been better. very funny. The subject, a hit man attending his high school reunion, and re-discovering his high school swetheart may sound un-workable but it does. If you have not seen this movie I ...

Martian Child

John Cusack, Amanda Peet

New Line Cinema, 2008

High reviews from one of the creatures
I grew up feeling like "a creature" in my own childhood and I remember well how it was when I always felt like I didn't fit in because I wasn't like everybody else. This movie is sweet and easy to watch---in fact, I watched it 3 times in 3 days. John Cusack plays ...
