Lady Sings the Blues
Diana Ross, Billy Dee Williams
Paramount, 2005
Diana Ross is incredible
In my opinion, (surely due to strong bias because I have been listening to this album since I was a little girl) this album/DVD contains some of the absolute best versions of Billie Holiday songs ever recorded. Diana Ross exquisitely captured the perfect tempo(i), ...

Risky Business [Blu-ray]
Tom Cruise, Rebecca De Mornay
Warner, 2008
Time of your life, huh kid?
Risky Business is a fantastic movie, much more complex than the standard teen fare at the time. Great music by Tangerine Dream (written especially for the movie) and strong performances from its young cast, most notably a nineteen year old Tom Cruise and twenty four ...

Harlem Nights
Danny Aiello, Thomas Mikal Ford
Paramount, 2002
Classic Eddie Murphy
For some strange reason Harlem Nights has always been panned by critics (the same critics that panned other classics like Fight Club). It wasn't a box office smash either. Yet, from the very first viewing, I've been in love with this film. It's fall-on-the-floor funny. ...

The Toy
Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason
Sony Pictures, 2001

2. They call the kid Master Bates.
3. The kid now does adult films.
This is one of the greatest comedies of all time. All that separates this from being one ...
