Just as good as......
It's just as good as when I first saw it when it came out. And my girls love it now. An great classic, and Carol Burnette is perfect in it!

Vantage Point (Single-Disc Edition)

Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox

Sony Pictures, 2008

Pay attention from the start
Got this movie for my husband's birthday. He loved it. He started explaining to me that 8 people saw what happened, and each has a different slant on it. He said at first he thought he would be watching the same thing over and over but it kept changing on him. He ...

The American President

The American President Lives On!
What fun to watch this intelligent, fun, romantic, realistic video during this intelligent, fun, romantic, realistic Presidential campaign '08 (Barack Obama, Michelle, and girls).

The Sum of All Fears [Blu-ray]

Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman

Paramount, 2008

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT BUT WITH A SOBERING TOPIC
I've had this DVD on the shelf for a few years but never watched it. And the book is one of Tom Clancy's I'd never read. Having the three other DVDs of Clancy's books I kinda knew what to expect. But the movie was a pleasant surprise in its realism of just what a small ...

Nixon [Blu-ray]

Joan Allen, Julie Araskog

WALT DISNEY VIDEO, 2008

Nixon -- masterpiece of brilliant, flawed President
Oliver Stone's Nixon was among the finest films of the nineties, and also among the most under appreciated. Anthony Hopkins cuts through the mystery of this complex man and captures his conflicted and wounded soul in a performance that earned him an Oscar nomination ...

Warner Home Video, 1998

Mom's Obsession
My husband and I thought this was a really great movie and have seen it a couple of times, but my Mother (86 years young) actually made this purchase you asked me to review. My Mother received this DVD for Christmas this past year and has watched it repeatedly. ...

JFK - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones

Warner Home Video, 2003

In terms of pure filmmaking, this film is a masterpiece....
If you jettison the politics of this movie (and Stone's reputation as a muckracker), and simply look at JFK as a film, it's arguably Oliver Stone's best film and it is absolutely rivetting. It's a masterpiece of cinemtography, editing, writing, and performances. I've ...

Fail-safe (Special Edition)

Dan O'Herlihy, Walter Matthau

Sony Pictures, 2000

FEEL SAFE ?
A "cold war' chiller that still maintains one's attention today after 44 years.While a brilliant, but truly eerie professor (Matthau) is holding center stage at a symposium, pontificating on the number of "acceptable losses" in a nuclear war, a computer malfunction ...

Thirteen Days (Infinifilm Edition)

Shawn Driscoll, Kevin Costner

New Line Home Video, 2001

Outstanding film
Historical and New England accent accuracies aside, this was a fabulous cinematic endeavor. I'm no Kennedy fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I am now a Roger Donaldson fan, so put that in your piece pipe and smoke it. Gripping drama. Check it.

No End in Sight

Campbell Scott, Gerald Burke

Magnolia, 2007

Excellent (& Depressing) film
The film is clear and informative. And it is depressing seeing how one of the greatest foreign policy debacles in the history of this country unfolded before our deceived eyes.

Deep Impact (Special Collector's Edition)

Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni

Paramount, 2004

Awesome movie and effects!
Basically the plot is about 2 meteors that are about to strike earth. Everyone panics. I especially enjoyed watching this movie. I have seen both Deep Impact and Armaggedon. I can honestly say that Deep Impact is much better than Armaggedon. Armaggedon just has people ...
