Mad Men - Season One
Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss
Lionsgate, 2008
The Eisenhower Era Revisited
After watching the first few episodes of "Mad Men", you can be forgiven if your eyes burn and you start to cough. It might be the only television show in history to cause second-hand smoke. Set in 1960, "Men Mad" is really about the 1950's and it captures the spiritual ...

Charlie Chan Collection, Vol. 5 (Charlie Chan At The Wax Museum/Murder Over New York/Dead Men Tell/Charlie ...
Sidney Toler, Victor Sen Young
20th Century Fox, 2008
Fantastic!
The films in this collection are some of the best in the Charlie Chan series. They have been digitally remastered to look better than ever. It's fun to look at the extras as well. Wax Museum has a great film noir feeling as does Dead Men Tell. Also, Castle in the ...

Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)
Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis
Weinstein Company, 2006
Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number.
This film took me by surprise. It is an excellent movie with a compelling story, wonderful acting and brilliant direction. I have not seen this intense a movie since "The Departed".
Josh Hartnett is great in this film. One of the best performances I have seen him in. ...

Restorers' Error
Restorers' Error
What the restorers of Rear Window don't know is that there exist two dream sequences in the first part of the movie.
The first takes place after Grace Kelly leaves, and James Stewart has heard the scream from across the courtyard. Thelma Ritter, ...

CSI: NY - The Fourth Season
CSI New York
Paramount, 2008
Its amazing, love it. Lots of cool stuff but i think its getting better and better!!!
I think the season has been pretty good so far. I wasn't really into the spy/cars episode other than the fact it had a lot of Flack in it. I was somewhat afraid that the season was going to take a turn for being really "out there" but it's starting to grow on me again. ...

Die Hard [Blu-ray]
Bruce Willis, Reginald VelJohnson
20th Century Fox, 2007
Die Hard
The original and the best in my opinion! See Alan Rickman in his breakout role and in his prime! Also, Bruce Willis still had some hair left! Hard to believe this movie is 20 years old.

Damages: The Complete First Season
Damages
Sony Pictures, 2008
"Damages" Is As Good As It Gets
Without a doubt one of the best dramas, not just of last years TV season, but of recent memory. Glenn Close gives a phenomenal performance and Ted Danson opens a lot of eyes for those who associate him with sitcoms. Why can't the major networks produce quality ...

Cloverfield
Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas (II)
Paramount, 2008
Less is more
This is one of my favorite action movies. "Cloverfield" may not be so original when it comes to hand-held camera, but the constriction of the scenes made me come out of the theater trying to visualize the rest. It really stayed with me in a way that I had to go back ...

North By Northwest
Ed Binns, Leo G. Carroll
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 2004
Is this Roger Thornhill or Bond, James Bond?
This 1959 Alfred Hitchcock film was the fourth and last "spy" film that he did with Cary Grant. The others are Suspicion (1941), Notorious (1946), and To Catch a Thief (1955).
I realize that Hitchcock was a close friend of Albert Broccoli (James Bond films)and Cary ...

Can ya feel me!!!
On another film I reviewed on Amazon, I said that I only follow directors and not actors. Here, I'll make two strong exceptions. But, first let me digress a moment to applaud Mr. Scott for yet another great film. There are directors who I look upon as the ...

Realistic portrayal of America's first Supermodel
This movie is not for the faint-hearted. No happy endings here. Just alot of edgy,powerful acting. It is the story of a young girl from Philadelphia who makes it big as a model in NYC and the viewer gets to see her evey step of teh way.
Angelina Joile is fabulous in ...
