DVD: Denzel Washington ...     DVD:       Man On Fire [Blu-ray]306 reviews Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2008 What an odd place to put a bomb! A movie that taps into the alter-ego of a perpetually liked actor, maybe even one of the most favorite actors in Hollywood, is always a tempting and dangerous proposition. Whereas some may go in opposition of their nice-guy façade for a sappy, genre-bridging attempt at drama (I'm talking to you Jim Carey), others, like Denzel Washington, have embraced the dark side of his repertoire, and taken ...             The Pelican Brief56 reviews Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington Warner Home Video, 1997 The Pelican Brief This is a movie full of intrigue and suspense. Denzel Washington turns in one of his best performances as Gray Grantham. Julia Roberts is equally as exciting as Darby Shaw a Tulane law student. Together they work to expose a criminal conspiracy that involves many high officials that include the White House. When attempts are made on their lives, it becomes a race to see if they can solve the ...             American Gangster [Blu-ray] Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe Universal Studios, 2008 Ridley Scott puts on his "sweeping saga" gameface again, this time not for the sci-fi vistas of Blade Runner or the ancient world of Gladiator but for an urban epic. American Gangster gives the story of Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a real-life Harlem crime lord who built an empire on Southeast Asian heroin in the 1970s. Running parallel to Lucas's somewhat standard story is the investigation led by a persistent New Jersey cop, Richie ...             The Great Debaters64 reviews Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker Genius Products (TVN), 2008 Stirring reminder of Jim Crow and the courage of those who overcame it This movie takes us back to an ugly time in U.S. history -- the Jim Crow era. In a segregated little town in Texas, the African American teachers and students of tiny Wiley College pursue excellence in education and recruit a world-class debate team, good enough to take on the debaters of Harvard and win. I'm not sure how much of this movie is fact and how much fiction but it pushed all the ...             Training Day507 reviews Raymond J. Barry, Tom Berenger Warner Home Video, 2004 HIGHLY ENTERTAINING GRITTY POLICE DRAMA! 4 1/2 STARS! 'Training Day' is a dark and gritty crime drama that tells a different side of the men in blue. Denzel Washington takes a 180 and plays one vicious and dirty cop who shows a new recruit on his first day as a special teams narcotics officer how his brand of justice works! The film is slick, well paced, full of action and has a plausible storyline. It goes a little Hollywood towards the end, but ...             American Gangster (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)195 reviews Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2008 Can ya feel me!!! On another film I reviewed on Amazon, I said that I only follow directors and not actors. Here, I'll make two strong exceptions. But, first let me digress a moment to applaud Mr. Scott for yet another great film. There are directors who I look upon as the infrastructure--the superhighways--on today's movie landscape. Spielberg, Cameron, Scorsese, Scott (Tony), Lynne, Tarantino, Greengrass, Nolan, ...             Much Ado About Nothing286 reviews Chris Barnes, Kate Beckinsale MGM (Video & DVD), 2003 Great! Wonderful movie! Now to find the Flying Karamazov Brothers' rendition of the Merchant of Venice.             Malcolm X149 reviews Angela Bassett, O.L. Duke Warner Home Video, 2000 Malcolm X Denzel Washington does not disappoint. At times, I forgot that it was not Malcolm in real life. The movie was excellent!             Man on Fire306 reviews Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning 20th Century Fox, 2004 What an odd place to put a bomb!

If you believe in social justice and you are passionate about sports, this movie is a collector's item (I bought it!). Denzil Washington should have won an Oscar for it. It's a keepsake!             Cry Freedom45 reviews Josette Simon, Wabei Siyolwe Universal Studios, 1999 Denzel IS Stephen Biko! When I was a high school English teacher and read and discussed "Cry, the Beloved Country" with my seniors, I always showed "Cry Freedom" in conjunction. Students were mesmerized. While the novel was set in South Africa with apartheid partly responsible for the crime that takes place, apartheid is as much a major character as Stephen Biko or Donald Woods in the movie. In case you are confused, ...             The Hurricane154 reviews Denzel Washington, Vicellous Reon Shannon Universal Studios, 2000 The Hurricane {HD DVD} I saw this movie when first released and since I'm a Boxing fan & book main events like the Boxing on my satellite TV had to get The Hurricane for my collection with a great performance by Denzel Washington Recommended .             Training Day [Blu-ray]507 reviews Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke Warner Home Video, 2006 HIGHLY ENTERTAINING GRITTY POLICE DRAMA! 4 1/2 STARS! 'Training Day' is a dark and gritty crime drama that tells a different side of the men in blue.

To me, Hanks was a great guy who'd be forever saddled with class B material, while Washington was just the new handsome face on the block. This film changed everything for both of them. In the first place, for the umpteenth time, ...             Fallen110 reviews Denzel Washington, John Goodman Turner Home Ent, 1998 An unsung masterpiece. I can't believe this movie eluded me for so long. I've seen all sorts of horror movies... slasher, goth, psychological, and zombie flicks. However, Fallen is easily one of the best I've ever seen. Seriously, I'd put it up there with The Exorcist,The Silence of the Lambs, and Se7en. Even though it clearly has religious themes in it, religion is not an important factor in order to enjoy the movie. ...             Deja Vu199 reviews Denzel Washington, Paula Patton Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2007 Best Blu-Ray in my Library The Blu-ray release of Deja Vu has become my favorite DVD in my collection. I won't discuss the movie itself, but the "Surveillance Window" in the Special Features. This is combination director's/writer's commentary combined with seamless "how we did this" vignettes. I would get this before any other Blu-ray purchase.             Inside Man (Widescreen Edition)219 reviews Denzel Washington, Clive Owen Universal Studios, 2006 Spike does it again! The latest Spike Lee Joint, Inside Man, is the best bank heist movie since Pacino's Dog Day Afternoon... but it's much better. For those who may have thought that Spike has gone mainstream, you need to see the way he spins this plot. It's not even over when it's over, and the characters are built as multi-layered, free forms. This film is what you go to the theater to experience. It's a crime ...             John Q. (Infinifilm Edition)218 reviews Obba Babatunde, Troy Beyer New Line Home Video, 2002 Criminal or father or the year? Mike Archibald (Daniel E. Smith) seemed perfectly healthy until he collapsed at a baseball game. He's taken to Hope Memorial Hospital where Dr. Raymond Turner (James Wood) advises the family the child needs a heart transplant. Unfortunately, John Q. Archibald (Denzel Washington) has an HMO and the surgery isn't covered. Despite the family being barely barely able to survive financially, ...             Crimson Tide141 reviews Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman Walt Disney Video, 1998 Crimson Tide An excellent movie. Top notch performances from Gene Hackman, Dentzel Washington and supporting cast make this movie worth watching time and again. Hans Zimmer's musical scores add depth. This movie looks outstanding on Blu-ray.
