Highly Recommended For this reviewer, watching Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979) on Blu-ray was a curious viewing experience. I’d seen it when it was new, while I was in high school. And between 1979 and 1989 I must have watched it at least another 15 times, first in theaters and later in revival houses and on cable television beginning around 1984, where Manhattan may have been the first movie …
Rent It I never actually got around to watching the original Honey , but I did see the trailer and TV spots and stuff, so I kinda get the general idea of what happens. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and Read the entire review
Highly Recommended The Film: At the beginning of City of God , the streets of Brazil — the winding slums, not the picturesque landscapes adorning postcards — come alive through sharpening knives, drum-heavy percussion music, and a pack of children chasing a chicken. Then, the relative normalcy stops: a camera-carrying high-schooler, Rocket, freezes when he comes face-to-face with teenage thugs …
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the film’s promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. One mark of an excellent documentary is its ability to draw you into a topic, a debate, or–as in the case of C line Danhier’s Blank City –a “scene” in which the viewer may not even have had any very deep or sustainable interest at the outset …

Recommended THE FILM: By dialing back the weed humor and bringing the action home for the holidays, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas earns fresh laughs despite its string-of-high jinks story. Stoners need not worry; pot still plays a central role in the plot, as does cocaine and a waffle-making robot, but the follow up to Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and Harold & Kumar Escape from …
Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The screengrabs used here are from the standard-definition DVD released in 2007, not from the Blu-Ray. Chris Marker is, undisputedly, a unique and gifted filmmaker. His point of view is unlike any of his contemporaries, and over the years, he has continued to work at his own pace and pursuing his own interests.
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 1998 DVD , not the Blu-ray edition under review.
Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 2005 DVD , not the Blu-ray edition under review. I can clearly recall the baseball cap-centered hype surrounding the 1992 release of Spike Lee’s Malcolm X .
