You'll Care About the Film in this Box
Nolan's Prestige, like many of his films, is a dark, somber exploration of human emotions, ambitions and failings. It features many of Nolan's artistic touches, including his trademark out-of-sequence narrative, so those of you who hate this format will be irritated by ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008
Romantic Noir
Hitchcock framed this wartime noir film around a debonair Cary Grant and the youthful beauty of Ingrid Bergman. Luxuriant black and white cinematography was added to this elegant love story set in the world of secret agents, giving it a lusciously romantic glow not ...

A re-release of a classic
It is unusual to see a director produce his best work after the age of 50, but that is exactly what Alfred Hitchcock did. Starting in 1948 with "Rope" and ending with "The Birds" in 1963, this was the era of his most inspired films. "Vertigo", in my opinion, is the ...
Laura (Fox Film Noir)
Gene Tierney

Dana Andrews
20th Century Fox, 2005
Verry, Verry Good Film!
This is absolutely a good film - not a great film but wonderfully fun! It has a couple of good twists and turns! I would highly recomend it! If you love Gene Tierney and Classic films watch the Ghost and Mrs. Muere!
Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season

Season 2... better than the 1st!
I've been a fan of the show since it started. Season two was awesome and continued the story of Betty, her family, and her friends & co-workers. I found myself crying, laughing, wanting to throw things at my tv, but still loving the show. My only issue is that it's ...
The Picture of Dorian Gray

Warner, 2008
New DVD release with commentary is announced
The classic moral/horror tale is to finally be released on DVD by Warner Home Video. The story has a Jekyl and Hyde type quality with Dorian making a wish after his portrait is painted that he will remain eternally young while his portrait grows old. George Sanders ...

Gwyneth Paltrow IS Emma
The role of Emma is played perfectly by Gweneth Paltrow. She's delightful as the failed matchmaker of Austen's story, wading through social decorum of ill fated as well as perfectly-matches romances. The rest of the cast shines as well, particularly the role of Mrs. ...

Alfred Hitchcock
Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2005
A Great Set to Own...
This collection comes in a beautiful velvet box with a booklet outlining the 14 films included in the collection. It pains me to give my favorite director's films anything less than 5 stars since some of his greatest creations are in this collection. However, I'm ...
To Catch a Thief (Special Collector's Edition)

Georgette Anys
Paramount, 2007
Really Great Alfred Hitchcock!
This is a light Hitchcock movie, probably not one of his greatest, but pretty close! The film does not focus on murder or mayhem or even tragedy. It is all about stealing jewels! If you thought that jewel thieves were interesting, this is your movie. If not, here ...

Rebecca, 2008 re-release
Actually the line is: "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again..." Note: the five stars are solely for the movie Rebecca, not this particular product. Which brings me to the point of this review. The Criterion Collection issue of Rebecca, until now, has been the ...
The Punisher [Blu-ray]
Thomas Jane
,
John Travolta
Lions Gate, 2006
Excellent!!!!!!!
Well, I am totally biased here on this movie. It was filmed in my hometown of Tampa. I still think it's an excellent movie though. Besides "The Dark Knight", this is my favorite comic book movie so far. I like the darkside of it.
Risky Business [Blu-ray]

Rebecca De Mornay
Warner, 2008
Time of your life, huh kid?
Risky Business is a fantastic movie, much more complex than the standard teen fare at the time. Great music by Tangerine Dream (written especially for the movie) and strong performances from its young cast, most notably a nineteen year old Tom Cruise and twenty four ...

Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion!
2005's Wedding Crashers is a 'so-wrong-it's-funny' film starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Two best friends since childhood who enjoy in the same hobby of, well.... crashing weddings of course! I can't say much for the morality of the film, but Vince Vaughn ...

I wish I had seen this when I was a kid.
It was probably just the result of an excellent marketing campaign, but Stephen King is known around the world as THE Master of Horror. I've read a lot of Stephen King novels and seen even more movies based on them, and I have always felt that King achieves mixed ...
