The Singing Detective
Robert Downey Jr., Robin Wright Penn
Paramount, 2004
Seen on its own merits . . .
Few if any reviewers here indicate having watched Keith Gordon's director's commentary on this DVD. I think it would alter some of their judgements. As Gordon explains, the film script was in fact written by Dennis Potter, whose original "Singing Detective" ran as a ...

Batman Begins
Christian Bale, Michael Caine
Warner Home Video, 2005
This is not your father's Batman!!!
This movie has a much more darker tone than its predecessors. It successfully tells how Batman was created and of Bruce Wayne's internal struggle with his alter ego. This HD-DVD has a stunning picture that does not disappoint. And, the story moves along quite nicely ...

Disturbing Behavior
James Marsden, Katie Holmes
MGM (Video & DVD), 1999
Underrated
High School! Yay! If you're like me, you loathe the very mention of "High School". The principal in charge of my school ran the place like a prison. No pop machines. No soft drinks or candy allowed. Need to use the bathroom? Tough. Go when you're walking to your next ...

Phone Booth (2002) (Spanish) (Sub)
Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland
20th Century Fox, 2004
Phone Booth a Winner
I had forgotten about the copy of "Phone Booth" that we purchased from you and guess what........IT PLAYED OKAY!!!!
So, THAT would be a good reason, why we then ordered the "Sweet November" and "Love Floats" DVDs and were disappointed, as previously stated!!!
How ...

This clever child of Pulp Fiction and Rashomon is a sheer delight. If you are tired of Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Carol or are just looking for another Christmas film then look no further. Although not recomended for youngsters, don't let the talk of drugs ...

The Gift
Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi
Paramount, 2002
Honest Film About A Southern Taboo
This movie was made in Savannah, Ga. If you saw Midnight In The Garden, you are already aware of the 'other' presence there of magic, obeah and other supernatural events. Ribisi is just incredible in this film. I really like this guy enormously. He gives 1000 ...

Before I add my own comments to this review, I first want to quote a review I read in some book for this film:
"This film is based on Rick Moody's novel about Thanksgiving 1973 in a middle-class New England family, with adolescent children fumbling with puberty ...

Wonder Boys
Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire
Wonderful "Wonder Boys"
"Wonder Boys" isn't quite a masterwork like Curtis Hanson's previous film, "L.A. Confidential," but it's excellent in its own way.
The humor in the film is subtle, but there are several guffaws to be had. The film follows a college English professor played by ...
