Mystic River (Widescreen Edition)
Sean Penn, Tim Robbins
Warner Home Video, 2004
Great Performances Worth Seeing
Particularly in the beginning of the movie as *spoiler*, we learn a girl has died. The reaction of her father and mother is just incredibly believable and something I will remember about this film. Hand him a reward for that and the rest.
The pedo-killer had me ...

War of the Worlds (Widescreen Edition)
Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning
Dreamworks Video, 2005
Better than the Original
I was concerned that this movie might not be good because of some reviews. Now that I've seen it, I think their criticism is utter nonsense. This is a spectacular summer blockbuster type of movie. Everything you'd want is there: lots of big action scenes, great aliens, ...

High Fidelity
John Cusack, Iben Hjejle

Pure Baseball - I'm Not Kidding
I was a huge baseball fan when I worked in radio in the Kansas City area during the 70s and 80s when the Royals were a great team to watch. Part of the joy of watching them play was team leaders like George Brett and Frank White who were so passionate and honest about ...

Top Gun HD is #1
I am personally rating Top Gun HD as a must have. If you watched it many years ago like I did then you were watching it in a state that gave it no just dues.
The sound track in HD is wonderful, and the details in the picture gave me chills! I recommend this classic ...

The Hudsucker Proxy
Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Warner Home Video, 1999
Time was on his side
There was a time, before the Coen brothers branched out into romantic comedies like No Country For Old Men, when they wrote and produced and directed serious and realistic contributions to the history of business. What we have in this masterpiece of naturalism is a ...
