Cashback

Sean Biggerstaff, Emilia Fox

Magnolia, 2007

Cash Back was one helleva great movie!
Cash Back, blown away by this wonderful DVD Movie I think this movie, Cashback, may have come out back in 2006. Seemingly it had a very late release here in the states. I was truly blown away by this mesmerizingly wonderful movie. It had a great soundtrack, ...

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Magnolia, 2006

Lions for Lambs
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" is a chilling,engrossing,and surprisingly timely documentary on how a corporation fleeced tons of hard-working Americans and made millions in the process. It starts with ordinary,talented men like the late Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey ...

The Life Before Her Eyes

Uma Thurman, Eva Amurri

Magnolia Home Entertainment, 2008

the kind of movie that stays with you
This movie was a struggle to watch at first--similar to the frustration I feel when I'm expected to read minds. It could be that I missed too many of the clues I could have caught if I weren't trying so hard to get it all at once. A friend and I did have fun with the ...

The Devil Wears Prada (Widescreen Edition)

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway

20th Century Fox, 2006

When you work for the devil, anything goes
We all know the boss. The man/woman who knows it all and tramples on everyone. I've worked for her; you probably have too. "The Devil Wears Prada" is the "simple" story of a young college graduate, Andy (Anne Hathaway), trying to find a job. She looks at a fashion ...

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 ...

The World's Fastest Indian

Anthony Hopkins, Iain Rea

Magnolia, 2006

A wonderful film with Hopkins at his best
I had the pleasure of seeing the movie again recently and was reminded of just how wonderful a film this is. One of the best I have seen for a quite a while. Anthony Hopkins gives a compelling performance as a motorcycle enthusiast from New Zealand who comes to the ...

Steel Magnolias (Special Edition)

Sally Field, Dolly Parton

Sony Pictures, 2000

always a favorite
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The flavor of the South is so enjoyable (one of my favorite scenes is the dancing at Shelby's wedding), and the cast is superb. Thought I'd better get the dvd before my tape wears out from being played over and over.

Surfwise: The Amazing True Odyssey of the Paskowitz Family

Sonia Darrin, Chris Owens

Magnolia, 2008

Making Waves with an Unconventional Lifestyle
SURFWISE is a fascinating documentary chronicling the unconventional lifestyle of "Doc" Poskowitz and his family. The latter includes spouse and some nine kids, who live a bohemian, itinerant, surf-centric lifestyle in a 24-foot camper van. No school for these kids! ...

Cocaine Cowboys 2 - Hustlin' With The Godmother

Charles Cosby, Griselda Blanco

Magnolia, 2008

Better than the first
I ordered this DVD, and, after watching it, I have to say that it's actually better than the first. The animated re-enactments, coupled with the rich story-telling, were off-the-hook; and the street, as well as the common sense, knowledge Cosby demonstrates is ...

Magnolia, 2007

A wonderful film with Hopkins at his best

District B13 [Blu-ray]

Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle

Magnolia, 2007

Great Action Flick
This movie caught me by suprise. It's great! I only wish that the blu ray disc version used subtitles and was not dubbed.

The Life Before Her Eyes [Blu-ray]

Uma Thurman, Eva Amurri

Magnolia Home Entertainment, 2008

BEWARE of ALL these reviews - SPOILERS
I haven't seen this film ... but I was going to and was looking forward to it. Here's why I'm posting this non-review. I suspect that a review I've read in this section contains a substantial spoiler. The author may not have intended it as such ... but I'm guessing ...

Man on Wire

Philippe Petit, Annie Allix

Magnolia Pictures, 2008

Life on the edge
Don't think a documentary about a high-wire walker could be worth 5 stars? Think again! This riveting and inspirational movie combines still photographs, reenactments, actual video, and interviews with the people involved in Phillipe Petit's high wire adventures. ...
