Great stars

Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone

MCA/Universal Pictures, 2006

What happens in Vegas....
This is a dark tale in a glittery place - Las Vegas. DeNiro's character tries to gain legitimacy, and even love, in the place of his dreams - a casino. Strong acting led by Sharon Stone's Oscar winning performance. Visually compelling with excellent use of music.

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 ...

The Great Debaters

Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

Stirring reminder of Jim Crow and the courage of those who overcame it
This movie takes us back to an ugly time in U.S. history -- the Jim Crow era. In a segregated little town in Texas, the African American teachers and students of tiny Wiley College pursue excellence in education and recruit a world-class debate team, good enough to ...

Supernatural - The Complete Second Season

Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles

Warner Home Video, 2007

Amazing Series, Awesome Sophmore Season!
What can I say about Supernatural? It's an amazing series for anybody. Does not disappoint.

Spaceballs

Leslie Bevis, JM J. Bullock

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Good mindless humor
This isn't as good as his earlier films IMO, but that doesn't mean its not a good movie. Nothing academy award winning, but its not bad. Sure there are some corny jokes..ok, a lot of corny jokes, but if you don't find at least one part funny there is something wrong ...

A Bronx Tale

Patrick Borriello, Lillo Brancato

HBO Home Video, 1998

Mickey Mantle don't care about you, so why should you care about him?
But you should care about this classic. This movie passes all the tests. Except the Mario test.

The Notebook (New Line Platinum Series)

James Garner, Gena Rowlands

New Line Home Video, 2005

The Notebook
This is my all time favorite movie! It is one of the best love stories of all times! it makes me cry everytime! The Notebook is one of thoes movies i had to own!

Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)

Ewan McGegor, Natalie Portman

20th Century Fox, 2005

The fans have it wrong!
The other reviews are longer to read than the movie itself! The fact is, all six films are wonderful! If Lucas had filmed in order part one, two, three, four, etc. We as an audience wouldn't have cared by part five and the better fims would have been lost forever, ...

The Truman Show (Special Collector's Edition)

Jim Carrey, Laura Linney

Paramount, 2005

A triumph!
In the near future, Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) has lived a great life with a wife (Laura Linney), great job, friends and parents. But what he doesn't know is that his hometown is actually fake and that he is the star of a popular long running reality program that has ...

My Cousin Vinny

Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio

20th Century Fox, 2000

One of my favorite comedies
"My Cousin Vinny" is a real gem, a perfect, funny, smart comedy, a very rare kind that I can watch and enjoy over and over again no matter how many times I've seen it and from what scene I watch it. This is one of my three all time favorite English language comedies ...

Three Kings

George Clooney, Nora Dunn

Warner Home Video, 2000

Clever, funny and different
David O. Russel's 'Three Kings' is a hard film to lock down into a particular genre. It combines elements of a war movie, a comedy and a drama, and manages to do it very well. People wanting to see lots of big guns and bombs should stay well clear, there are video ...

Walk the Line (Widescreen Edition)

Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon

20th Century Fox, 2006

a testament to both the legend of its subject, and to the talents of its stars
Joaquin Phoenix probably would have won the Oscar for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line" if only Jamie Foxx hadn't won the prize a year earlier for playing Ray Charles. The Oscars didn't want to look like the Grammys, so they gave the golden guy to Philip ...

The Covenant

Steven Strait, Laura Ramsey

Sony Pictures, 2007

A Supernatural Legacy
It was an absolute pleasure watching something descent for a change I've seen this several times already and just can get enough. If you don't have this as yet you are loosing out. Buy it you will not regret it. I just feel they could have made it a little bit ...
