DVD Reviews  
Director / Screenwriter J. J. Abrams's film, "Super 8," reminded me of "Close Encounters" meets "E.T." meets "Goonies," and even though this chemistry in celluloid sounds like one giant cliché, the film worked, and it worked quite well.
This film, by Actress Jodie Foster who also directed, was produced during the time when Actor Gibson was having his last round of domestic skirmishes in his own home, and public opinion for the celebrated actor was at an all time low.
Remarkably, John Brennan is also a regular guy, with a regular life, with a regular job, but also he possessed an irregular sense of propriety towards those that he loved, governed by an impressive and overwhelming sense of honor.
I mostly love "Indie Films." As an film aficionado, I get to root for the underdog production and enjoy the tale told well in celluloid all at the same time.
Director Darren Aronofsky employs the tragedy of full blown schizophrenia to allegorically expose the duality of raw emotional conflict within the hyper-creative process that is the backstage confluence of ballerinas and their bosses.
Director Michel Gondry took a lame script by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg to build an unbelievable film, devoid of all emotion or the ability to elicit any palpable audience empathy.
Felix was a hermit, who stayed to himself, and kept himself locked up inside to the point that no one knew the truth, in the history, of who he was, and how he got that way.
This is a story that, at first, one may question whether it should even be told. At the end of the film, one realizes that it had to be told, if only to give hope that there can be an unlikely hero.
The film "Leaves of Grass" is less to do with Walt Whitman's opus, and more of a discussion of this aforementioned human condition, and yet still a comedy of sorts.
Timeless tale told well would be an understatement; but, was it told well enough to placate the most ardent critic, who expected far too much? Possibly not.
The apocalypse of men's souls is the theme of this morality play played out upon the bleak landscape of a dying world.
Touching film full of life lessons, with more than its share of unforced humor, “The Blind Side†was easily one of the best films of 2009.
Altogether, Food, Inc. is a must-see for anyone who wants to know a little bit more about where the food they eat actually comes from and the conditions under which it is produced.
The Brainchild of Peter Docter, Bob Peterson and Tom McCarthy, Up is a poignant parody on the adventure of life.
The Hurt Locker, awarded the Oscar for the Best Picture of the Year, is an important film that will be remembered as a perfunctory exposition of the occupation of Iraq in the War on Terror.
Inorder to rediscover his comedy, Adam Sandler reverted to the worst within the ego of an overindulged former stand-up comedian turned low-brow actor
Julia Child was the most influential culinary author of all time. Julie Powell respected that fact and piggy-backed her ambition on the shoulders of a very big woman.
Mike Judge, the personafication of hit or miss, writes and directs what will become a comedy classic.
For all of you, and your descendents, there is the extreme Jewish fantasy film, "Inglourious Basterds," to quell your immediate hunger for the ultimate revenge for that ultimate transgression.
Tom Hanks reprises his role as symbologist Robert Langdon as he struggles against all odds to save what he has little reverence for - the Vatican.
The government named these bank robbers "public enemies," with John Dillinger as "Public Enemy No. 1." Ironically, the public saw the government, not the robbers as the real enemy.
