In Short: Prepare to be amazed. The film: A few years back the Wachowski Brothers made their debut with “Bound”. I must admit, I stumbled into the theater not knowing what to expect from the film and walked out simply floored; “Bound” was, and still is, one of those films Read more…
In Short: Decent compilation of Morisette’s 1995 tour. The Movie: I’ll admit to being a fan of Morisette’s 1995 album “Jagged Little Pill”, which contained a few great songs(“All I Really Want”, “Hand In My Pocket”) and one seriously overplayed one (“You Oughta Know”) that may have been a part Read more…
The film: BMG Music first impressed me with the DVD release ofTime Out With Britney Spears, a feature-packed DVD of what I considered to be high quality. “Genie Gets Her Wish” is about the same presentation – the biggest piece is a lengthy documentary about the history of the singer, Read more…
The Movie: Michael Moore’s “Bowling For Columbine” is one of the most controversial films of the past several years; there was controversy upon release (some wondered if the film would be released) and then the controversy returned once again when Moore made an Oscar speech against the current state of Read more…
The Movie: Jean-Pierre Melville’s largely influential 1956 film noir “Bob Le Flambeur” stars Roger Duchesne as Bob, a gambler who claims to have a criminal past, but who has recently gone clean. But, as with most noir or heist film anti-heroes, there’s always one last gig up his sleeve. Unfortunately Read more…
In Short: I can hear it now, half my readers going “He’s lost his mind if he bought that.” Suprisingly though, it’s a really nicely produced DVD that fans of the singer will love. The film: Liking Britney Spears is something that you don’t admit to, or at least most Read more…
The Movie: In early 1999, “The Matrix” amazed and thrilled audiences with its remarkable special effects, interesting story and fascinating visuals. Much really hadn’t been said or heard about the film early in production, then more and more details and images from the production came out and the excitement built. Read more…
The Movie: I hadn’t heard much about the release of this series on DVD so I thought that I’d take a look at this release from Artisan, since the series itself had become somewhat of a cult show before it was cancelled(from Fox, I believe). The series ran from April Read more…
The film: In December of 1999, I was on Christmas vacation and looking for discs to review. Somehow, I decided uponTime Out With Britney Spears. I’m not a fan of her music, but it looked like it would be a rather interesting disc to take a look at, with documentaries, Read more…
The Movie: Although some viewed it as a dissapointment, I found director Jeremiah Chechik’s update of “Diabolique” to be a tense, suspenseful and very entertaining effort. It doesn’t stand up to the original, but viewed on its own, the film has some thrilling moments and good performances from the three Read more…
