Making a case for a third and secret level within the” Narnia” Books by C.S. Lewis, Dr. Michael Ward presents his theory in The Narnia Code and I found it very interesting. It’s a new way to look at the “Narnia Chronicles” that were written over a half a century ago and a reason to watch the films all over again. The DVD has some very cool bonus features that will enlighten you as well.
A comedy with serious overtones fits the right genre for The Dilemma. The movie was not even a quarter of the way through and I could see where the script was taking me. It has been a long while since Vince Vaughn (The Break-up) tackled a strong willed character like the one in this film and frankly I was not expecting that from what I saw in the trailer. Finding this out so quickly however, allowed me to recover and still be able to enjoy the film.
Sticking pretty close to the original television series, The Green Hornet makes a big bang on the screen. The fun of this film is the story and although it spins out fairly slow in the first thirty minutes, it’s well worth the wait for the excitement to begin. Choreography, cinematography and special effects break trail for an explosive adventure. What it’s lacking in originality, it makes up for in creativeness.
The Dilemma crawled up and surprised me. I was expecting a light comedy with some dramatic moments, what I got was a serious film with some comedic moments thoughtfully exploring the universal topics of fidelity and friendship, and I liked it. It’s actually hard to describe this film in terms of genre, definitely a ‘bromance’, perhaps a comedy/drama, either way, to me that makes for a true viewers delight.

Here’s a lesson in history that set the standard for equal pay for women. Made in Dagenham takes this subject and presents it in storybook fashion adding a lot of ‘Hollywood’ stuffing and pretty faces. I like the film, but subtitles would have had me liking it even better.

The release of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on DVD/Blu-ray brings a lot of good features. Viewing the film itself in this format and venue allows you to slow down the action, replay a scene that may have been misunderstood and allows you to play it whenever you want. Well I’m sure you already knew that, but I just wanted to emphasize it due to the nature of this film. Coupled with the outstanding bonus features, this is probably the best buy at your local video store.
