DVD: stephane     DVD:       Babette's Feast142 reviews Stéphane Audran, Birgitte Federspiel MGM (Video & DVD), 2001 The cooking is fine, but the movie is about love, wisdom and friendship...without sentimentality I don't know whether this film hits my heart the way it does because of the feelings of friendship, love, closeness to others or the warmth of that transformation Babette's cooking creates, but when the feast starts and for the rest of the movie, I choke up often. Yes, this is a feel-good movie, but without a speck of mawkishness or facile sentimentality. Please note that elements of the plot ...             Mr. Bean's Holiday (Widescreen Edition)80 reviews Rowan Atkinson, Steve Pemberton Universal Studios, 2007 Deeper than you think I truly enjoyed watching this film. Having studied a number of foreign languages, I could understand almost all of the dialogue, and the use of different languages gave a lovely multicultural breadth. The beautiful scenery added even more richness. The casting I felt was particularly good. You've got to have ordinary people whom Mr. Bean can play off of. All of the characters were ...             The Story of O77 reviews Corinne Clery, Udo Kier Somerville House, 2006 O What A Story! I saw The Story of O in the movies when I was 18 or 19 in or around 1980 and was very impressed. This was a time when there was such a thing as an erotic film, that was very very different from porn films. This is a real movie, with lighting, angles and a storyline. It is not just a mindless flesh fest. The main actress Corinne Clery is very beautiful and there alot of other beautiful woman ...             Persepolis41 reviews Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve Sony Pictures, 2008 Life in perpetual motion Persepolis is a wonder to behold! Not your standard cartoon, it's mostly black and white with some pretty basic animation. But frame by frame each simple sketch harnesses an enormous spirit. Funny, poignant, and endearing, it's also a real eye opener. Very much a vocal springboard for the people of Iran. Especially the women. It follows the life of Marjane, an idealistic young girl growing ...             Irreversible321 reviews Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel Lions Gate, 2003 Heartbreaking and unforgettable! I'm still not sure what this movie did to me, or how I feel about it. All I know is that 1 minute after it had finished, I said, "this was one crazy intense flick". 10 minutes after it had finished, I was still sitting in front of my TV, just staring at the blank screen. 20 minutes after it had finished, I was crying. The movie is not easy to watch, not only because of the subject matter. The ...             The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc279 reviews Milla Jovovich, Dustin Hoffman Sony Pictures, 2000 Discovering A Three-Hour Oscar-Worthy Epic : Five Stars One of the greatest motion pictures of all time. Luc Besson achieved directorial greatness more than once, but this film is the peak of his creative vision and success. Casting Ukrainian supermodel Milla Jovovich was a controversial idea at the time, but Besson managed to extract a nuanced performance from her - a feat, considering she is in virtually every frame of this 3-hour epic. To me, ...             Live In Las Vegas- A New Day..142 reviews Celine Dion Sony, 2007 WOW! I am a Wal-Mart associate and an excerpt was playing of River deep - Mountain high . It will stop you in your tracks! I have been a Celine Dion fan for years. I have always known Celine was a classy lady , but ; my opinion of her as down to earth person - approachable , warm , a true entertainerhas grown . The way the show was put together was absolutely beatiful , elegant , ( If I Could ) to ...             Brotherhood of the Wolf - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)399 reviews Samuel Le Bihan, Mark Dacascos Universal Home Entertainment, 2008 The beast that attacks Imagine a fairy tale... but with grit, blood, stylized camerawork, and lots of French kung-fu (savate). That about sums up "Brotherhood of the Wolf," an epic horror/martial-arts/erotic/action movie loosely based on the French legend of the Beast of Gévaudan, but with a chilling story woven around it. Christophe Gans could have given it a bit more character development, but it's a simple flaw ...             The Science of Sleep55 reviews Gael García Bernal, Charlotte Gainsbourg Warner Home Video, 2007 Great romantic movie I think, the phrase "Close your eyes, open your heart" describes this movie very well, as there is no real plot or story line in it. But it is very relaxing to watch it, especially, when you are not distracted by anything. It also has a very European feel to it - the manners of characters, their gestures and facial expressions, the whole atmosphere is very European, in my opinion. "Science of ...             Madeline49 reviews Frances McDormand, Nigel Hawthorne Sony Pictures, 1998 Great Fun My Grandaughter thought this was wonderful. We watched six times. She liked the fact that it was a real little girl and would like more Madelines just like this one             Persepolis [Blu-ray]41 reviews Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve Sony Pictures, 2008 Life in perpetual motion Persepolis is a wonder to behold!

Jennifer Love Hewitt clearly loves her subject and treated this story like the Tiffany diamond that is Audrey Hepburn. Kudos!             Madonna - Video Collection 1993-99158 reviews Madonna, Mike Myers Warner Bros / Wea, 1999 great gift for madonna lovers I baught this as a gift for my best friend who loves madonna and he it was the best. I didn't watch it myself but he is pretty reliable.             The Pink Panther (Special Edition)168 reviews Steve Martin, Kevin Kline Sony Pictures, 2006 Pink Panther DVD Review This product, The Pink Panter Special Edition, was shipped in a timely manner. actually it arrived a lot sooner than I expected, which is awesome. It plays perfectly. The seller told me everything about the product, that it was used, but still had all the original artwork. I am completely happy with the DVD.             The Rocket15 reviews Roy Dupuis, Rémy Girard Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2007 A Must Have Movie For Any Hockey Fan Maurice Richard is arguably one of the greatest if not greatest individuals to play in the NHL. Maurice Richard was the first to score 50 goals in one season (the 1944-45 NHL season), doing so in 50 games, and the first to score 500 goals in a career. He finished his career with 544 goals in the regular season, with 82 in the playoffs which included a record six overtime winners and led the ...             Six-String Samurai97 reviews Monti Ellison, Jeffrey Falcon Palm Pictures / Umvd, 1999 Wonderful idiocy This is NOT a story to take seriously. This is simply a fun piece of what Ray Bradbury calls "sublime trash". This has no redeeming values, will teach you absolutely nothing and has no real moral, either. However, it is a fun and wonderful way to spend 90 minutes or so. It moves from one crisis to another quickly, is full of action and has all kinds of one liners. Personally, I loved it, but ...             Maximum Risk [Blu-ray] Jean-Claude Van Damme, Natasha Henstridge Sony Pictures, 2008             The Beast49 reviews Sirpa Lane, Lisbeth Hummel Cult Epics, 2005 I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm puking... [...]What's up with these crazy French filmmakers? They don't hold back. I read this is an erotic thriller? Well, I was not aroused in the least bit, even though there is a gratuitous amount of nudity. This movie is totally grotesque, hilarious, shocking, plus unique--quite a wild trip! It's an absurd perversion of the "Beauty and the Beast" tale. It starts off in relentless ...             Leos Janacek - From the House of Dead / MCO, ASC, Boulez, Chereau (Festival Aix-en-Provence 2007)6 reviews Olaf Bär, Peter Straka Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 A searing and memorable final production from Boulez and Chereau Janacek's final opera, composed in 1927-28 and given its posthumous premiere two years later, is based on the Dostoyevsky novel written in 1861-62 in which the author renders his own prison experiences. The story as seen in the opera is not presented in a linear fashion, rather it is like a Robert Altman film such as Nashville or Short Cuts where an ensemble cast presents several intertwined ...             Mr. Bean's Holiday (Full Screen Edition)80 reviews Rowan Atkinson, Steve Pemberton Universal Studios, 2007 Deeper than you think I truly enjoyed watching this film.
