The Hustler (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

92 reviews
Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason

20th Century Fox, 2007

NOBODY'S RIGHT WHEN EVERYBODY'S WRONG
I first saw this film in 1961, and for my money it's probably the most realistic ever.Here's one; this reviewer can actually smell the grime as it passes through the screen. The indescribable stench of an old pool hall, the grit of a bus terminal, where your next cup of coffee may be your last, the sleazy bar that never seems to close, the self named bums who inhabit such places are all a part ...

The Happening

38 reviews
Mark Wahlberg, John Leguizamo

20th Century Fox, 2008

Good start, but........
The movie starts good but it just stalls out half way to the end. Interesting concept, but nevertheless weak rendition overall. Good acting, decent script and that is all!

Mr. Brooks

Kevin Costner, Demi Moore

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Mr. Brooks
Mr. Brooks is one of the best suspense movies I have ever seen. His conversations with his 2nd personality add alot to the unfolding of events. Kevin Costner is amazing.

Lie With Me

61 reviews
Lauren Lee Smith, Eric Balfour

Velocity / Thinkfilm, 2006

Quiet, yet moving
This movie has an art house/independent film presentation. No wasted dialogue (except for a few of the voiceovers). Powerful love/sex scenes. Nice chemistry between the two leads.

Deception

6 reviews
Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor

20th Century Fox, 2008

Exciting thriller and excellent performances
I enjoyed this thriller with its neo-noir look ( very evocative of Manhattan) and its excellent casting and performances. The plot is credible, even if some of the twists are probably a little too easy to project. But the buildup is tension-filled and the resolution is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the profession of the main protagonist ( certainly a made-in-accountant-heaven solution!). The most ...

The Happening (Special Edition + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

11 reviews
Mark Wahlberg, John Leguizamo

20th Century Fox, 2008

A Movie for the Non-Brain Dead People
M. Knight is the man! Probably his second best movie next to Signs. In my opinion both that and The Happening are his finest pieces of work. He challenges you to think and not be a brain dead american who is handed everything is such supsense/horror movies most people like. Blood and guts gets boring. Let your imagination do the work for you, I'm sure some of you can think of stuff far worse then ...

The Proposition [Blu-ray]

Guy Pearce, Danny Houston

FIRST LOOK PICTURES, 2008

PERFECT FILM!!!
A beautiful western. Nick Cave's script is outstanding and the soundtrack he made to go with it is mesmerizing. This was the first blu ray I bought, I already owned the DVD. For western fans, Nick Cave fans, classic film fans- God, I don't care who you are, check this out.

What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Marlee Matlin, Elaine Hendrix

20th Century Fox, 2005

what the bleep?
I viewed this film in theatre at the time of its release and thoroughly enjoyed it. Life is so full of wonders and this was still another way of exploring another level of it. Another level yet the basis of our daily living we are unconscience of. Great film to view either alone or in group setting.

The Visitor

15 reviews
Richard Jenkins, Hazz Sleiman

ANCHOR BAY, 2008

Crazy rhythms
If Richard Jenkins doesn't get an Oscar nod for his amazing performance in Thomas McCarthy's new comedy-drama, The Visitor, I will personally picket the Academy. Writer-director-actor McCarthy's previous effort was the critical favorite The Station Agent, and once again he draws us into an extended family of very believable, warm-blooded characters, generously giving all of his actors plenty of ...

Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey

JJ Field, Felicity Jones

WGBH Boston, 2008

Excellent Entertainment
I thought the story was interesting from beginning to end. The actors were convincing and showed great depth of character. I didn't want it to end and I wish there was a sequel. It was well worth the price I paid. I was not familiar with this particular story and I was so pleased with the ending.

Christian Bale, Russell Crowe

Lions Gate, 2008

good movie
Good story, good acting. I love the last 20 minutes or so of the movie.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

335 reviews
Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal

20th Century Fox, 2003

Excellent Sci-Fi
Some reviewers say this is dated but then again so is Star Wars. Here you get above average acting and an intelligent script. Now that is dated! Still most of the credit should go to Robert Wise the director and the fantastic cinematography. What beautiful lighting design. This film is mostly for Sci-Fi film buffs. And " Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" is a gem. I doubt I could have kept a straight ...

Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews

20th Century Fox, 2005

Verry, Verry Good Film!
This is absolutely a good film - not a great film but wonderfully fun! It has a couple of good twists and turns! I would highly recomend it! If you love Gene Tierney and Classic films watch the Ghost and Mrs. Muere!

Lars and the Real Girl

112 reviews
Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Thought provoking
I don't know if the purpose of this movie was to help de-stigmatization mental illness but I believe that it was a step forward in that direction. The movie focus on Lars and his girlfriend who is a doll. The community that he lives in goes out of their way to accept Lars's girlfriend and to help Lars heal from the death of his mother and the guilt that he feels from it. Anyways I loved the ...

Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey

Warner Home Video, 1997

I Love This Movie!!!
I have always been a science buff and a science fiction fan. This movie was wonderful. I think it is not far off to what our reaction would be if we were contacted by others in the galaxy. Jodie Foster was wonderful as Ellie Arraway and the spirit of the book was carried over into the film. The film does take some liberties with characters and what occured in the book but that was only to make it ...

Psycho (Special Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)

427 reviews
Frank Albertson, Martin Balsam

Universal Studios, 2008

Hey Amazon! Where are the actual main actors?
Psycho is a classic. But my gripe is with the way Amazon takes the entire cast list, orders them in alphabetical order, then lists the first few actors from that list. And they tend to do this for a lot of movies here, not just this one. So in this case the "stars" of the film are Frank Albertson, Martin Balsam, Francis de Sales, and George Eldredge (as listed when you search Movies and TV for ...

I, Robot [Blu-ray]

490 reviews
James Cromwell, Bruce Greenwood

20th Century Fox, 2008

Blu-Ray quality at it's best
I'm not going to say anything about the movie except that it is a fun movie with a good story and my wife thought Will Smith was at his physical best in this movie. I will say that I bought this movie because I read several reviews on home-theater sites that rated this movie 98 out ot 100 for video quality, which is what I wanted in a Blu-Ray disc. "I, Robot" did not fail to live up to my ...

Lions Gate, 2002

predators in twilight
It's a David Mamet movie: ENOUGH SAID. Ok, I'll say a couple more things as if you didn't already know them. But if you don't know about this movie -- just see it is the point. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by the brilliant playwright-screenwriter David Mamet. Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey are all in it. They ...

The Kite Runner

Khalid Abdalla, Atossa Leoni

Dreamworks Video, 2008

Interesting, envolving, multi-culture
I loved reading the book so much that I was sad when it was over. The way the author writes catches your attention and envolves your emotions. When you have to stop to read you feel you need to go back to book again soon. It shows an unusual perspective of children's cruelty and the guilt carried to adulthood. The book is richly permeated with afghan culture in such a way that you find it ...
