Survival of the Shrewdest
Die Fälscher (The Counterfeiters) deserves its Oscar as the Best Foreign Film of 2007. Based on a true story and singed with horrifying details of the Nazi treatment of 'detainees' (primarily Jews) during WW II, the inner story of this film is one of resilience and ...

10 Things I Hate About You

Kyle Cease, Cameron Fraser

Touchstone Pictures, 1999

One, if not my favorite, of my favorite movives.
I really like this movie, because it's realistic and funny and sweet and just gives you butterflies. Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger were great in this film. My favorite scene was the paintball one, it was so cute and romantic. I would recommend this movie to anyone and ...

No Country for Old Men

Javier Bardem, Rodger Boyce

Miramax, 2008

AN ENTERTAINING AND COMPELLING MOVIE 8.5 OUT OF 10
I enjoyed No Country For Old Men, it was an entertaining and compelling film, but it was flawed at the same time. So, I would have to disagree with Roger Ebert's proclamation that this film is flawless. This film has a lot to offer to people who have a dedicated taste ...

Lie With Me

Lauren Lee Smith, Eric Balfour

Velocity / Thinkfilm, 2006

Sex and more
I found interesting about this movie is the "balance of interest" between the two people and how it shifts back and forth throughout the movie. I'd recommend an amazing book in this topic Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra

Persuasion

Amanda Root, Ciarán Hinds

Sony Pictures, 2000

A charming story!
Persuasion is a wonderful story. Who hasn't wanted to go back and rekindle a romance that was prematurely cut short by the wrong advice of friends? This is an excellent verion of Persuasion. The actors are well cast and very likeable. Your heart breaks for Anne who ...

Bella

Eduardo Verástegui, Tammy Blanchard

Lions Gate, 2008

Love and redemption
In the Hollywood sewer that both reflects and leads the cultural decline of the West a tiny perfect rose occasionally emerges from the slime. "Bella" is such a motion picture.

Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)

Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle

A&E Home Video, 2001

Perfection
I was very impressed with the speedy delivery, I received my copy within 5 days (I'm in Johannesburg, South Africa)of payment. It's just awesome! I've watched it four times already and it's hugely popular with my family. I'll soon have to order another copy for ...

The Ultimate Gift

Drew Fuller, James Garner

20th Century Fox, 2007

James Garner, one of my favorites
I've always loved James Garner. I loved the message and I loved little Miss Breslin.

Prison Break

20th Century Fox, 2008

Hi my name in Lisa, I'm an addict
I live about 15 miles east of Joliet Illinois, I only statred watching the show because it was filmed inside THEE prision. I thougt, how cool to be able to see local things on a national TV show. The Blues Brothers was filmed in the same prision. And my hometown, ...

Pride & Prejudice

Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen

Universal Studios, 2006

What are Men Compared to Rocks and Mountains?
Being fully aware of the backlash stating my take on the most beloved of the works of Miss Jane Austen I shall attempt to be as brief as possible, by purely stating my own opinion. First of all I will admit that this adaptation of the darling tale does speed ...

Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)

James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson

Sony Pictures, 1999

Quick delivery
The dvd was sent within a week and it's in really good condition. Would order from them again.

Born Free

Virginia McKenna, Bill Travers

Sony Pictures, 2003

Excellent remastering of 2003 DVD release
This review pertains to the March 2003 DVD release of "Born Free". The picture and sound are fantastic! This issue presents a remastering of this relatively old film--and it looks brand new! The picture is sharp and the colors are rich and accurate. The format is ...

The Inheritance

Cari Shayne, Brigitta Dau

Platinum Disc, 2004

Heartwarming and noble
I really enjoyed this movie so much. It had a good storyline, if a little predictable. I loved watching these great actors. There were noble characters and it was a great escape to the past. Quite a pleasant change from the foul stuff you see on the screen ...

Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey

n/a

WGBH Boston, 2008

Finally, a real Northanger Abbey
I'll admit "Northanger Abbey" has never been one of my favorites; Catherine is a bit too naive to suit my tastes. Still, I wanted to see what would happen with this one, and Andrew Davies shows again why he's a master. Catherine here is a very three-dimensional ...

Rescue Dawn

Christian Bale, Steve Zahn

MGM Home Entertainment, 2007

Terrific film; great story
I saw this movie coming and I was very surprised it did not make a bigger impact at the box office. In fact, it was out of the theaters so quickly I missed it, so I waited for the recent DVD release. I was not disappointed. Rescue Dawn tells the true story of Dieter ...
