DVD: award     DVD:       Leatherheads (Widescreen)19 reviews Max Casella, George Clooney Universal Studios, 2008 Fun movie of a bygone era In the 1920's the best football games were found on college campuses. In this movie, George Clooney's character is an aging football player who is trying to put pro football on the map. He pirates a popular war hero turned Princeton football player and suddenly the crowds begin to follow the pro teams. Renee Zellweger is a sassy, saucy girl reporter who catches Clooney's eye, but seems more ...             There Will Be Blood347 reviews Daniel Day-Lewis, Barry Del Sherman Paramount, 2008 There Will Be Greed Director Paul Thomas Anderson ("Magnolia") achieves something very rare in films, he manages to create a really extraordinary film whose main character Daniel Plainview played by Daniel Day-Lewis ("My Left Foot") is for the most part reprehensible. With the exception of rare moments of affection for his deaf son, whose deafness is caused by an accident at his father's oil wells, Plainview cares ...             Braveheart (Special Collector's Edition)842 reviews Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau PARAMOUNT PICTURES, 2007 Braveheart Review After watching the movie, I became totally interesting in learning the history of William Wallace. I enjoy watching this movie so much. Mel Gibson did an excellent job in protraying William Wallace. This movie capture the reality between the warfare of England against the Scottland country. This movie can enrich the mind with a different aspect of warfare between this two remarkable nation. There ...             Arrested Development - The Complete Series (Seasons 1, 2, 3)384 reviews Excellent! This is such a great show! Clever and witty and rather short. You can easily watch episode after episode and never get tired of it! I highly recommend the DVD set also. It's much cheaper than most series DVDs but is worth every penny! I wish this show had kept going!             Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (Widescreen & Full Screen Edition)43 reviews Frances McDormand, Amy Adams Universal Studios, 2008 One day leads to others... Amy Adams. Angelina Joli. Sarah Jessica Parker. Frances McDormand. Odd, huh? Three younger beauties who can act. One maturing woman, not-so-beautiful, can stand equally with them. Star power? Inner beauty? Confidence? Frances McDormand has It which others can see. "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" is a fine vehicle for our Frances. She plays the low-key Miss Pettigrew, freshly out of a job, ...             Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)992 reviews Eric Bana, Nicholas Bird (II) Walt Disney Video, 2003 Second best by Pixar Sorry Nemo, but Toy Story is still my favorite, although this comes extremely close. This movie is great for all ages and a must have for families.             Juno (Single-Disc Edition)323 reviews Ellen Page, Michael Cera 20th Century Fox, 2008 An overrated sensitive urban fable but also a tough gaze about the demolished affective adult relationships ! At first sight it would seem we are in front an amusing portrait about an irreverent girl who has been pregnant by his immature boyfriend a teenager who is really much more worried about a competence, absolutely unaware about the next role he should keep in mind in the next months to come. On the other hand the stoic attitude of this smart little woman about the way she regards the ...             Shine a Light81 reviews Rolling Stones Paramount, 2008 Shine a light a magnificent document for everybody who likes the Rolling Stones. In fact it's a "must have" but be carefull: although it is not clearly indicated,this product needs a DVD player that can handle both NTSC and PAL!!! So if you're in Europe: be carefull or buy a modern DVD player...             American History X651 reviews Edward Furlong, Beverly D'Angelo New Line Home Video, 1999 Best Movie On Racism American History X doesn't use the same broad elements that many films of this kind often do. It doesn't "preach to the converted". It goes into some of the main reasons for prejudice. It doesn't ignore the fact that affirmative action has given us some bad side-effects. It doesn't ignore that black people too, can be racist. It doesn't ignore statistics. It puts all these points out there, ...             In Bruges85 reviews Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson Universal Studios, 2008 Deserves an Academy Award (or several!) In Bruges is probably this year's most under-rated film. Although humorous at times, this is a serious film of a developing friendship, a budding romance, and tragedy. The actors are superb and the location is perfect. A real 'must see' movie and deserving of an Academy Award (or several).             Anne of Green Gables Trilogy Box Set82 reviews Kevin Sullivan, Richard Farnsworth Sullivan Entertainment, 2005 Completely unforgettable - will charm your heart This trilogy on DVD is a blessing from lugging around 9 VHS tapes for years! Since my childhood, Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea have been among my all time favorite movies - nothing will ever be quite like them. The Canadian locations are gorgeous, the costuming and script superb, and the actors will make you laugh and cry each time you watch it. Thankfully the movies are based ...             Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)199 reviews Nicholas Farrell, Nigel Havers Warner Home Video, 2005 My favorite movie I first saw this movie at 18 and it has remained my favorite. The themes and messages are timeless - about having integrity and beliefs - and about "running" for all of the right reasons.             The Red Balloon (Released by Janus Films, in association with the Criterion Collection)122 reviews Red Balloon Janus Films, 2008 The Red Balloon One of the all time great films. Although it was made over fifty years ago, it stands up just as well today. Equally enjoyable for children and adults. Excellent cinematography. Charming.             Love's Unfolding Dream30 reviews Richard Herd, Dale Midkiff 20th Century Fox, 2008 Love's Unfolding Dream I loved the entire series of Janette Oke's. They are movies you can see over and over.             American Beauty (Widescreen Edition)1128 reviews Annette Bening, Thora Birch Dreamworks Video, 2000 Enough has been said but.... There have been so many reviews of this movie I will limit my comment to state my sheer amazement after reading the 1 STAR reviews ... It is beyond comprehension this brilliant piece of artistry can be rated below 3 STARS by anyone.... In my mind it is one of the most socio-realistic screen plays that have ever come out of Hollywood - not due to the (perhaps overly) tragicomic ...             Shine a Light [Blu-ray]81 reviews The Rolling Stones Paramount, 2008 Shine a light a magnificent document for everybody who likes the Rolling Stones. In fact it's a "must have" but be carefull: although it is not clearly indicated,this product needs a DVD player that can handle both NTSC and PAL!!! So if you're in Europe: be carefull or buy a modern DVD player...             Atonement (Widescreen Edition)251 reviews Keira Knightley, James Mcavoy Universal Studios, 2008 A BITTERSWEET ROMANCE, MAGNIFICENTLY MADE More than one of the great romantic films of all time, "Atonement" is a pure masterpiece utilizing a three-act structure spanning several decades that begins in an English manor house before World War II and proceeds through the war and after. The main character is a 13-year-old fledgling writer, Briony, whose imaginative sensibilities congeal with her infatuation with a man who loves her ...             American Gangster (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)196 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, ...             The Lives of Others238 reviews Martina Gedeck, Ulrich Mühe Sony Pictures, 2007 Superbly-acted, -produced and -directed film! What a fantastic, thought-provoking movie this was! I was half expecting it to be dark and gloomy. I mean, the premise of having private citizens' privacy invaded is very dark and frighteningly real in today's world; but I love the way the writers and directors were able to inject some lightness (with the Captain's bedroom habits), irony and a great deal of humanity. The ensemble cast members ...             South Pacific (Collector's Edition)125 reviews Rossano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor 20th Century Fox, 2006 Great gift I had bought a different DVD of South Pacific for my children's anniversary, but returned it as that wasn't the one they wanted.
