Highly Recommended Wow, what a surprise! If you've suffered through as many public domain movies from the 1930s as I have, films produced and distributed by small, long-defunct and forgotten companies, you'll know that the vast majority are quite dreadful, and normally only the cheapest of home video distributors (e.g., Alpha Video) will release them at all, typically with terrible video …
Recommended Ida Blu-ray Review Ida (AgataTrzebuchowska) is a catholic nun working towards taking her vows withinthe  covenant where she stays. She is soongoing totake those vows but is told that first she is supposed to go visit afamilymember and speak with them.
Highly Recommended Salvador Blu-ray Review Oliver Stone has made a name for himself as apoliticalfilmmaker with an agenda to portray American history (and indeed thehistory ofthe world) through his unique perspective. The filmmaking of Stone isundoubtedly political in nature and he is one to create a variety ofcinematicportraits with a keen sensibility unlike most other filmmakers
Highly Recommended The Movie: As far as enjoyment and appreciation of Michael Moore's films go, it pays to approach them as visual essays rather than completely objective documentaries. They are obviously out to make a point, everything from the fact that Moore narrates his own documentaries with a deft ear for wit and irony, as well as some of the clever editing choices made in order to bring …
DVD Talk Collector Series “You're so strange…what goes on in that mind of yours? ” Hypnotically creepy, one of the best made-for-TV movies of the 1970s–and that's saying something from that golden age of the form–has finally arrived on DVD.
Rent It The Collection: Although this newly released DVD set from stand-up comic and actor Richard Lewis has been titled Bundle of Nerves , it might have been more appropriate to call it Bundle of Crap I Found Lying Around My House . This new title would better speak to the lack of cohesion and consistency of the four selections spread across these two DVDs, as well as providing the only …
Recommended Almost everyone remembers the story of Sleeping Beauty —whether it be the Brothers Grimm fairy tale (itself based on a story by Charles Perrault) or Walt Disney's 1959 animated adaptation—but very few would rank the latter with Disney's very best animated productions. At just 75 minutes in length, the film still feels awfully bloated: after all, the original clocks in at …
Skip It Che! Blu-ray Review Director Richard Fleischer's Che! ( Tora! Tora!Tora! ) is probably best left forgotten. The concept of thefilm is tofocus upon revolution leader Che Guevara during the period of Che'sarrival inCuba during the mid-1950's to his death following an ambush in 1967.The storyis partially told as a dramatic narrative with some emphasis onshowcasingparts of the Cuban …
Recommended I didn't much care for Run Silent Run Deep (1958) when I first saw it during the early days of DVD. Part of the problem was MGM's unimpressive video transfer, which was in unenhanced 1.66:1 widescreen.
Recommended THE FILM: After the monstrous success of his first Transformers trilogy, Hollywood outlaw Michael Bay parted ways with star Shia Labeouf and began a new chapter in his franchise, dialing back the explosive action and addressing the pacing and character development issues that plagued the three earlier films. Just kidding! Transformers: Age of Extinction delivers the Bay-hem in spades …
