DVD: Rachel Weisz ...     DVD:       My Blueberry Nights (The Miriam Collection)7 reviews Jude Law, Norah Jones Weinstein Company, 2008 Visual Splendor for a Shuffled Plot and Script Kar Wai Wong is as much a visual artist as a film director and his forté has always been making beautiful, multileveled images on a screen that is trying to see clearly the outlines of character development. Such is the case in his first English language film MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, a creation he wrote (with Lawrence Block) as well as directed. While the 'story' boasts a cast of fine actors, the ...             The Fountain (Widescreen Edition)356 reviews Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz Warner Bros. Pictures, 2007 A homage to Kubrick - with a splash of Aronofsky's love of cinema Without a doubt, Darren Aronofsky has subtly crafted the best film of the year. With this film, he has introduced a brave new paintbrush, a canvas that would be unpopular with the amateur cinefile, but over time will be considered an independent classic. Like he has done with such powerful films like "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream", Aronofsky, with "The Fountain" has entered into the ranks of ...             The Mummy [Blu-ray] Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Universal Pictures, 2008 If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version of The Mummy is spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it "hokey," "cheesy," and "pallid." Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the ...             Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)24 reviews Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Kline Universal Studios, 2008 pleasant romantic comedy When reviewing books and movies, one needs to judge each one on its own terms. Not every movie can be "Casablanca" just as not every book is "Crime and Punishment." Judged by the aims of the makers of this movie, which I take to be to provide an evening of mildly intelligent, pleasant, harmless entertainment, it is a success. No, it's not great -- it's merely good. The acting is fine, the ...             The Mummy Returns [Blu-ray] Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Universal Pictures, 2008 Proving that bigger is rarely better, The Mummy Returns serves up so much action and so many computer-generated effects that it quickly grows exhausting. In his zeal to establish a lucrative franchise, writer-director Stephen Sommers dispenses with such trivial matters as character development and plot logic, and charges headlong into an almost random buffet of minimum story and maximum mayhem, beginning with a prologue establishing the ...             Definitely Maybe (Full Screen)24 reviews Ryan Reynolds, Rachel Weisz Universal Studios, 2008 pleasant romantic comedy When reviewing books and movies, one needs to judge each one on its own terms.

Thank goodness for continued excellent movie making !!! This is a movie that will certainly hold your attention and focuses on other aspects that certainly do occur during any war. Worth watching.             Constantine (Widescreen Edition)465 reviews Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz Warner Home Video, 2005 Great For HD I had seen this movie when it was first released and was impressed by the special effects. But with my endless quest to find hd movies (blue ray is taking over) I knew I had to purchase this one. And I am not disappointed. The extra features are easy to operate and the movie looks fantastic,not 3D like blue ray seems to bring out in their dvds. Hd movies are just that, it has outstanding clarity ...             The Mummy Returns [HD DVD]727 reviews Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2007 No harm ever came from opening a chest. Remember the book??? Anyway, poor humor aside, The Mummy 2 ups the action, the drama, and the adventure by ten. A blast of a movie with more awesome FX. Rent it, grab a bowl of popcorn, check your brain at the door and enjoy the unrealistic chaos. For once Hollywood does the sequel right. Same as the first Mummy. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!             The Mummy [HD DVD]816 reviews Erick Avari, Carl Chase Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2006 A fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously! This was such a fun movie to watch. I can remember when I first heard Brendan Fraser (George of the Jungle) was starring in it I questioned whether I wanted to see it but I am SO glad I did. As good as it is on a small screen it was outstanding to watch on the large. Even though it's barely over two hours you almost left the theater exhausted. Fraser plays fortune hunter Rick O'Connell, a man ...             The Constant Gardener (Widescreen Edition)283 reviews Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz Universal Studios, 2006 Heart-Wrenching Thriller I don't think "The Constant Gardener" is what one would call a conventional thriller. The culprits are pretty transparent early on but what I think concerns the makers of the film is not whodunit but rather how to shed light on their malfeasence. In the meantime the film offers a lot of food for thought about how the Third World is exploited by the major pharmaceutical companies and their ...             The Mummy (Widescreen Collector's Edition)816 reviews Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Universal Pictures, 1999 A fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously!

The Mummy is ...             Swept from The Sea51 reviews Vincent Perez, Rachel Weisz Sony Pictures, 1998 Dream-haunting...soul-stoking. If you like a film, where all the characters have so much depth you can empathize with their actions based on their experiences and circumstances. A film that spikes your imagination, haunts your dreams, challenges your judgements and speaks volumes on an ever exponentially increasing number of subjects. Then, my friend you've found "true gold" in this cinematic treasure. Until you ...             Eragon (Widescreen Edition)458 reviews Ed Speleers, Sienna Guillory Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2007 A Dragon is a Dragon...... Anything that Jeremy Irons & John Malkovich are associated in is a Winner! A GOOD story ! Great special effects ! And a special "thank you" goes to performer *Rachel Weisz (as the Dragons voice)... this film is a 5 star !             Stealing Beauty97 reviews Carlo Cecchi, Sinéad Cusack 20th Century Fox, 2002 Good film. Bernardo Bertolucci has given us another beautiful film. This one is set in the Italian countryside where a girl, coming of age, takes us through her confusions of love, sex, and people overall. With an amazing cast that is anchored by the always great Jeremy Irons, Stealing Beauty is a great emotional tale. Liv Tyler is beautiful beyond belief in this film and the story keeps you interested ...             About a Boy (Widescreen Edition)206 reviews Toni Collette, Hugh Grant Universal Studios, 2003 One of my Top 10 Favorite movies of all time Despite the fact I am emotionally shallow and somewhat stupid, I think this movie is brilliant and a classic.             The Mummy Returns (Widescreen Collector's Edition)727 reviews Donna Air, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Universal Pictures, 2001 No harm ever came from opening a chest.

RECOMMENDED!!!!!!             Smart People1 review Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Quaid Miramax, 2008 Smart People Why is it that so many movies rely on the pain of loosing a spouse to set up the dysfunctional family that results from this loss? Smart people is shot in a color pallet that tends toward grey which is also the color of the mindset of this cast. Ellen Page proves she can provide life to an otherwise hopeless film. The rest of the cast seems uninspired and disconnected.             The Mummy Returns (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition)2 reviews Alun Armstrong, Brendan Fraser Universal Studios, 2008 New 2-disc Deluxe Edition due out on July 8th, 2008 The upcoming release of The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor has prompted Universal to release new DVD editions of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.
