Paul Giamatti

Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti

New Line Home Video, 2008

A love-hate movie that I loved
"Shoot 'Em Up" is a straight-faced over-the-top parody of the action movie genre. Profoundly silly one-liners after shooting a guy? Check. No backstory about our cookie-cutter characters? Got it. An overly convoluted plot that makes no sense at all? Yep. The ...

Sideways (Widescreen Edition)

Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church

20th Century Fox, 2005

Excellent film
The acting in this film is incredible. This film is not for anyone who thinks special effects, chase scenes, sex, or well known movie stars make a great movie. These people are very real, they don't do anything spectacular, like real people they have moments where ...

Saving Private Ryan (Special Limited Edition)

Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore

Dreamworks Video, 1999

A flawed gem
First off, everything you may have heard about the opening Normandy sequence is true: this is quite simply the most amazing battle re-creation footage you're ever likely to see. Definitely not for the squeamish, it paints its horrifying portrait without ever allowing ...

Saving Private Ryan (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore

Dreamworks Video, 2004

A flawed gem
First off, everything you may have heard about the opening Normandy sequence is true: this is quite simply the most amazing battle re-creation footage you're ever likely to see. Definitely not for the squeamish, it paints its horrifying portrait without ever allowing ...

Shoot 'Em Up [Blu-ray]

Sabrina

Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond

Paramount, 2002

Great Present
The item requested came in on time and was the perfect gift for my wife because she loves the movie.

Fred Claus

Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti

Warner Home Video, 2008

A good Christmas 2007 movie
For the month or so as well as the past year or two, Hollywood has been releasing a string of disappointing or downright bad Christmas movies (The Golden Compass, Happy Feet, Deck the Halls). Thankfully, Fred Claus was a pleasant surprise. I agree with some of the ...

John Adams (HBO Miniseries)

Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney

HBO, 2008

Work of Genius and Depiction of Historical Events Regarding our Founding Fathers
Although the miniseries title and episodes focus on the life of John Adams, the strength of the film lies in the exceptional ensemble cast. It was impressive to see such giants as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, as well as the lesser known ...

The Illusionist (Widescreen Edition)

Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti

20th Century Fox, 2007

Excellent atmospheric historical romance
Eward Norton gives a wonderfully understated performance in this historical romance set in Vienna at the turn of the century. He plays a marvelous magician who has fallen in love with a daughter of the aristocracy intended for marriage to the nasty megalomaniac Crown ...

Mr. & Mrs. Bridge

Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward

Miramax, 2003

Mr and Mrs Bridge
The story is slow paced. What really attracts me to this movie besides the actors is the story itself. Were women really this meek and never expressed openions other than their husbands. Thank goodness for Women's Lib.

Robots (Widescreen Edition)

Halle Berry, Lucille Bliss

20th Century Fox, 2005

Cute movie!
My 3 year old niece loves this movie and whenever she comes over, which is often, we have to watch it. The animation is great and I love the voice over character of Robin Williams. This part really suited him. If you have young children, they will really like this ...

Private Parts

Howard Stern, Robin Quivers

Paramount, 1998

whoever says Howard Stern can't act can suck it
Howard Stern is awesome. He's totally vulgar but a total genius. When I was little I used to watch his old channel 9 show and marvel at his total comedy. He is so naturally funny. And I don't think there has ever been a man in American media that has done more in the ...

The Negotiator

Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey

Warner Home Video, 1998

The Negotiator
Someone is embezzling money from the police department, and when Danny Roman is accused of the deed, he ends up taking several hostages within the department when things escalate and get out of hand. Danny has lost confidence in everyone in his own department, so he ...

Duets

Andre Braugher, Angie Dickinson

Walt Disney Video, 2001

Good Job
Recieved item in a timley fashion and in great shape! Would use again and again!
