Garden State459 reviews
Zach Braff, Natalie Portman

20th Century Fox, 2004

If I could, I'd give it 10 stars...

+ One of my favorite movies
+ Great!

I absolutely LOVE this movie. If I were asked to named my current favorite movie, it has to be this film. The music, the mood of the entire movie, the humor, it all works beautifully. Zach Braff did a wonderful job with this picture. He wrote, directed, and starred in this and that is an amazing ...

The Station Agent144 reviews
Peter Dinklage, Paul Benjamin

Miramax, 2004

You know who you are...

+ Let's have more from Tom McCarthy
+ When Three Friends Collide

This may well be my second favorite movie ever. Certainly in the top five. Can I explain why? I'm not sure that I can. An attempt: it appeals to the small person inside every single one of us. The one that never quite fits. The one that takes a beating and keeps on ticking. The one that lies down ...
  
  











  



  
The Chumscrubber54 reviews
Jamie Bell, Camilla Belle

Dreamworks Video, 2006

Dark, Real and Emotional

+ Unexpected delight
+ Headless in Hillside

A scary look inside the prestine suburbs of California, Chumscrubber shows us what it's like to be a kid in today's society where Bread, Circus and Finncial success are all that matter. The acting is very well done, especially for such young people, and the script is also quite good moving the ...

Y Tu Mama Tambien308 reviews
Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

You must see the unrated version

+ Very Pleased
+ Great Movie!!! Gael and Diego are cute!

I will not try to add much to the other commenters who have already noted what a great film this is. I only want to suggest that everyone who watches this film sees the unrated version. The rated 'R' version still includes lots of raunchy sex, but leaves out the most important 5 seconds in the ...

Blue Man Group - The Complex Rock Tour Live106 reviews
Blue Man Group

Lava, 2003

a fantastic concert!

+ Megastar Vs The Complex
+ Quite a show!

Blue Man Group is a strange experience, I suppose. It's as much theater as rock band, but then what great band isn't as much theater as rock? This DVD shows a concert tour the group did, rather than a Las Vegas show. So, it's a performance from band to audience, and not so much a comedy and ...

Short Cuts - Criterion Collection89 reviews
Robert Altman, Tim Robbins

Criterion, 2004

This is life...

+ Not a New Edition

One of the greatest compliments you can give to any film done by Robert Altman is that they perfectly represent real life. Nothing about his films are glossed up as is the fashion of almost anything in Hollywood. Every frame and every character has this rich sense of humanity and raw realness ...

Saved!277 reviews
Jena Malone, Mandy Moore

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Often overlooked....but so much better than Juno

+ Great service!
+ AMAZING...

To compare Saved to Juno is probably not fair. After all, Saved deals with an issue outside of teen pregnancy. But while watching Saved, compare it to Juno was all I could do. And kudos to Saved! For me, you kicked Juno's butt! I found this dark comedy consistently funny, a little more ...
  
  











  



  
Thank You for Smoking (Widescreen Edition)173 reviews
Joan Lunden, Eric Haberman

20th Century Fox, 2006

Laugh and Think

+ Better Than Expected

If you are a smoker watch the film and think, If you are a non-smoker watch the film and feel as happy as you can and laugh If your child is a teenager let her watch the film, nothing that the adults tell is enough to give this impression about smoking. I think this may be a popular film that ...
