Philip Seymour Hof...

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke

ThinkFilm, 2008

A Sharp Cast Led by a Brilliant Hoffman Ignites Lumet's Fever-Pitch Suspense Melodrama
This intensely involving 2007 character-driven suspense drama is like a big, juicy piece of Shakespearean-level steak from a master filmmaker who knows how to draw out uncommonly ferocious, to-the-edge performances from his actors. Consider for starters - Henry Fonda's ...

Charlie Wilson's War (Full Screen)

Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks

Universal Studios, 2008

Lighten up and enjoy the flow of the movie
I think it important when reviewing a film to review the film as a complete work of art, being aware of current trends and opinions as well as historical accuracy, but willing to hold back political correctness and historical micro-accuracy so that the film can speak ...

Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jude Law, Nicole Kidman

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004

common people overwhelmed by war
I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union ...

Almost Famous

Fairuza Balk, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Dreamworks Video, 2001

My favorite film, improved
Almost Famous is a fantastic (and true!) tale of a young kid who ends up writing for Rolling Stone magazine. Borrowing from different parts of his real life, writer/director Cameron Crowe introduces us to William, an extremely gifted teenager who ends up touring with ...

The Big Lebowski [HD DVD]

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman

Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2007

A far cry from Thunderbolt & Lightfoot
Susan Sarandon has her "Rocky Horror Picture Show" performance to forever contend with, and Jeff Bridges is stuck with this. Yes Jeff, it was tragic when they killed off your character at the end of "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" but *this* is the one that's going into ...

Twister [HD DVD]

Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton

Warner Home Video, 2008

Great, cheesey fun
I love this movie. I love the flying cow and the rolling house. ("I think we're going in!!!!!") I love the evil meteorologists. I love the special effects, though really Blu-Ray actually makes them a little less believable. I love Dusty and Aunt Meg. I love, ...

Scent of a Woman

Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell

Awesome HD DVD

Mission Impossible III (Widescreen Edition)

Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Paramount, 2006

J.J. Abrams + Tom Cruise + Philip Seymour Hoffman = Action Movie Masterpiece
When this film was first announced it was met with skepticism and with the constant bad press Tom Cruise had received over the months this movie was destined to fail. That was before we had the chance to see this stellar combination in action; Tom Cruise reprising his ...

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 ...

When a Man Loves a Woman

Andy Garcia, Meg Ryan

Walt Disney Video, 2000

When a Man Loves a Woman
I loved this movie! Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan were very good in this movie. Meg plays an alcoholic mother and Andy is her husband attempting to keep the family together during her rehab process. I thought the acting was very good, and the story line was captivating. ...
