All the President's Men (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford
Warner Home Video, 2006
Buy This Even If You Have An Older Version.
+ ...or Watergate: How two reporters brought down a President
+ All the President's Men
This DVD is worth buying for the voice-over commentary by Robert Redford alone. You will not be disappointed.

Billy Bathgate
Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman
Walt Disney Video, 2002
Movie Deserves More Attention
+ There is more than violence in organized crime
+ Ncole Starkers!
It's kind of shocking to see less than 15 reviews (as of Sept., 2007) here for a movie that stars Dustin Hoffman and Nicole Kidman and also has Bruce Willis and Loren Dean.
This story of gangster "Dutch" Schultz is told, like the beginning of Goodfellas, through the eyes of a young guy (Dean) ...

John & Mary
Dustin Hoffman, Mia Farrow
20th Century Fox, 2007
An Underrated Classic!
This is a brilliant example of what life was like in late 1960s New York. Coming right after their big hit films, Hoffman (MIDNIGHT COWBOY) and Farrow (ROSEMARY'S BABY) show a completely different, intimate side to their acting. While the film is somewhat fragmented, stick with it: you will find ...

Rain Man (Special Edition)
Tom Cruise, Andrew Dougherty
MGM (Video & DVD), 2004
Great Movie With A Decent Depiction Of A Person With A Disability
+ Great Item
+ Rainman
RAIN MAN is an excellent film that came out in 1988 when autism was relatively unknown. Though no one person on the autism spectrum is likely to exhibit all the traits Raymond Babbitt does Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of him is humane and relatively accurate. Tom Cruise is also excellent as ...

Sleepers
Kevin Bacon, Billy Crudup
Warner Home Video, 1997
EXCEPTIONALLY FINE AND DISTURBING MOVIE
+ Great Movie, DVD leaves out authenticity
"Sleepers" is an exceptionally fine and disturbing movie. The cast is superb. Kevin Bacon does a fearsome job in a thoroughly repellent role. Robert De Niro plays a warmly sympathetic, street-knowledgable priest, and Brad Pitt does a very compelling job with his role as a prosecutor who sets up ...

Straw Dogs
Dustin Hoffman, Susan George
Anchor Bay Entertainment, 2004
Not an animal.
+ A Cave Man is a Brave Man!
+ a classic
Given the multiple reviews, I really only wish to comment on one aspect of the film, but one that is at it's heart. In the real world there really are people like the town bullies/thugs. Wherever found, their existence needs to be ended. In this film, after multiple points where this termination ...

The Journey of the Fifth Horse (Broadway Theatre Archive)
Susan Anspach, Michael Tolan
Kultur Video, 2002
"Lust is the devil's monastery on the road to hell."
+ A pearl.
Winner of an Obie Award in 1966 for his role as Zoditch in this play by Ronald Ribman, Dustin Hoffman reprises his role here in his first television appearance, an adaptation for NET Playhouse, directed by Larry Arrick. Hoffman is the neurasthenic "first reader" of a small publishing house in ...

Moonlight Mile
Gordon Clapp, Lenny Clarke
Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2003
A realistic look at grief
+ Beautiful movie
+ i wish i could give it more than 5 stars
In 1971 'The Rolling Stones' recorded a beautiful track entitled 'Moonlight Mile' which is about being away from the ones you love. In the song he sings the words "I am just living to be lying by your side" and in those words we get it...we understand, and that is why this song, this title is so ...

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc

Sony Pictures, 2000
Discovering A Three-Hour Oscar-Worthy Epic : Five Stars
+ not perfect...but still great
+ Milla enlivens the legend of a hero
One of the greatest motion pictures of all time.
Luc Besson achieved directorial greatness more than once, but this film is the peak of his creative vision and success. Casting Ukrainian supermodel Milla Jovovich was a controversial idea at the time, but Besson managed to extract a nuanced ...

Midnight Cowboy

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
Midnight Cowboy gets better with age

I was a corporal in the US Army when this movie was released, and a bunch of us GIs saw it at the base theater at Fort Holabird, Maryland. There were a few scenes we weren't thrilled with, but overall we enjoyed the movie. Fast forward nearly forty years, and I can only say the movie has aged ...

Madigan's Millions
Elsa Martinelli, Cesar Romero
TROMA ENTERTAINMENT INC., 2005
RAISING INCOMPETENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS WAS NOT THE PLAN
+ Dustin Hoffman Rules!!
When a deported gangster dies in Italy, the U.S. Treasury department is very interested in the $1,000,000 Madigan owed the government, but managed to take to Italy with him. They send Jason Phister to Italy to find the money. His criteria for the job is that no one would ever guess he’s an ...
