Davis This brilliantly acted, directed, and written drama sparkles on screen, not only because of the masterful performances, but because of the sizzling “Mametspeak”.Posted on: 7/19/2004 9:43:12 PM DVD: by: Kurt B. Davis Bawdy, quick-witted and proudly sentimental, this film was the odds on favorite to be the first gay-themed motion picture to gain mainstream success in 1988. But it was unfortunately ahead of its time. Posted on: 6/14/2004 10:49:01 AM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman A truly grand, wondrous larger-than-life film, this Tom Cruise vehicle is a credit to hero epics like Braveheart that have drawn too many wannabes like the grandiose Gladiator.Posted on: 6/14/2004 11:29:20 AM DVD: by: Kurt B.

A simple tale, it speaks about the friendship of three lost souls looking for companionship in a rural New Jersey town.Posted on: 6/23/2004 11:22:17 PM DVD: by: Kurt B.

So, I watched it. It was pretty good. Some good laughs. But, honestly, I thought the dialogue was inflated and unrealistic. Visually, the framing and editing were pretty bad. Still, beyond that, I enjoyed the humor and felt an understanding with the characters and their story...Posted on: 9/10/2003 12:01:54 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan When I was a wee-lad, I can remember seeing “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” on television.

However, I was still young at the time, and have no memory of seeing it in the theaters...Posted on: 9/10/2003 12:05:16 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan When I was a kid, I was completely drawn in by The Goonies. A pure escapist childhood fantasy from the mind of Steven Spielberg. I went to see it with my friends several times. I made treasure maps at home, going so far as to literally burn the paper in the oven to brown it, then take a match and singe the edges...Posted on: 9/10/2003 12:07:53 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan Like millions of others, I was excited to hear that Lucas -- the supposed “leader” of the digital revolution in Hollywood - had finally relented and released one of his many great movies on DVD...Posted on: 9/10/2003 12:09:56 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan This movie is clearly a shoot’em up, because it’s so full of holes it would make a chunk of Swiss cheese jealous. Did I enjoy it? Sure, it was basic, mind-numbing action and violence. But, that’s what I was looking for...Posted on: 9/10/2003 2:07:21 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan Swingers was one of those movies that I wound up seeing more than a dozen times because the pay-cable channels just loved showing it. Now, they love showing lots of movies, and I don’t constantly tune in for them. But Swingers was funny, and I enjoyed the inside film jokes, as well as the obvious ones...Posted on: 9/10/2003 2:08:56 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan For those of you who read my Made review, then you are already aware that I rented this film because my wife wanted me to get a film “she would like”.

Grove When Miller’s Crossing opened the New York Film Festival in 1990 it was going to be the film that would see the Coens hit the big time at last and simultaneously make Gabriel Byrne an international superstar.

It was on television late one night. I don’t recall being particularly scared, but I did enjoy the film. It was exciting, with cool special effects -- for the time -- and a great creature.Posted on: 3/22/2004 6:10:00 PM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan If Alien was considered a classic of horror, James Cameron’s Aliens was pure action and adventure. Although it still held elements of horror, Aliens offered up a action heavy film.Posted on: 3/23/2004 3:21:57 PM DVD: by: Daryl J.

The latter was banned in Britain from 1973 to 1998Posted on: 3/26/2004 9:08:55 AM DVD: by: Michael Sheridan Although not the follow-up to Aliens that it should have been, this film does have some merit. And that merit came in the form of its director, David Fincher.Posted on: 3/29/2004 11:07:32 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman With movies like Dr. Doolittle and The Nutty Professor under his belt, Eddie Murphy has found his niche in the funny, fuzzy sort of family films that kiddies and parents can enjoy together.Posted on: 4/2/2004 10:12:14 AM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman Vampire Effect is a poor supernatural action film that struggles to balance a Romeo and Juliet star-crossed romance with other plot lines that aren’t quite as interesting.Posted on: 4/8/2004 1:39:11 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman Unlike most sports films, this story isn’t really about a team or a sport. Bend It Like Beckham is about a young girl pursuing her dreams against all odds.Posted on: 4/8/2004 3:02:02 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman I’d heard that Jack Black received critical praise in this film, but waited for it to be available on DVD before spending the money to see it. I should have waited longer.Posted on: 4/9/2004 12:25:00 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman The Lizzie McGuire Movie is not safe for adult consumption. It is a terrible version of a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen straight-to-video film, which means that essentially it is very bad.Posted on: 4/13/2004 2:17:57 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman The smooth, sensual quality of the film is helped along by Lane’s funny voiceovers. Originally from a book by Frances Mayes, it flows seamlessly like a great novel.Posted on: 4/13/2004 3:16:19 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman The Magdalene Sisters is the powerful and brutal true story of four women horrifically punished in these asylums by nuns, priests and the Catholic Church.Posted on: 4/15/2004 4:12:24 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman Despite its intent to get into the teen psyche, How to Deal feels like a grownup’s view of how teenagers should think and act as it tries desperately to speak to teens and miserably misses.Posted on: 4/15/2004 4:46:14 PM DVD: by: Aliza Hausman Gothika has a formulaic quality that always makes it seem like there’s something missing. This is not your usual devil may care bloodbath but when it tries for the same substance found in The Sixth Sense, it falls short.Posted on: 4/15/2004 4:58:03 PM DVD: by: Mark Doyle Steven Spielberg finally accepts that DVDs are here to stay, as Schindler’s List finally gets DVD treatment.
