Blu-RayReview: A gritty film showing a hard-core drunk spiraling around the drain. Nicholas Cage does a outstanding job showing Ben's final descent as he uses a severance check to finance his last days in Las Vegas while revealing small hints of the successful and charismatic man before alcohol took control. He finds a soul-mate in Elisabeth Shue's prostitute, but it is too late to change his

The five star system is my favorite way to rate movies. A four star system has no easy selection for an average movie and a three star system is just too simplistic for me.5 Stars - A masterpiece of its genre. The direction, acting, music, design, special effects and story are firing on all cylinders to create a perfect film.4 Stars - A great movie with a few minor flaws, like a weak subplot or

Blu-RayReview: A perfect little film with great chemistry between the two comedic superstars, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. The winter setting perfectly complements the long-running cold war between two neighbors who have lived next to each other their entire lives. Their feud comes to a head when an attractive widow moves in across the street.Quotes:"I need something for my lumbago. The pain

Blu-RayReview: Steven Seagal peaked with Under Siege but his earlier work created consistently great genre films. What raises this one is the intense acting by William Forsythe as the coked-up, short-tempered villain, Richie Madano, who terrifies and disgusts even his fellow criminals. The story takes place over one day as Seagal, the Brooklyn detective Gino, hunts down the cop-killer who wants

Blu-Ray: Extended EditionReview: I bought the Blu-Ray even before I had a HDTV because I knew I could only watch it again with a high quality display. It now looks amazing on my new TV. While pushing the limits of special effects, James Cameron still pays attention to the story. While some people complain that it was too simple or familiar, it is expertly-executed and paced. Zoe Saldana was great

DVD: AnamorphicReview: I don't think a 9/11 movie will ever be made that is better than this one by Paul Greengrass. Even though everyone already knows the ending, it still slowly and expertly builds the tension until the final moment.The events that took place inside United 93 actually only take up about a third of the story as the rest of the film follows the FAA officials, air-traffic

DVD: AnamorphicReview: Hilarious zombie road trip movie! I love Woody Harrelson in these type of roles. The slow motion opening credit sequence backed by Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" set up the movie perfectly. The survival rules concept popping up throughout the movie was a nice touch.Quotes:"Why am I alive when everyone around me has turned to meat? It's because of my list of rules.

DVD: Enhanced 16x9Review: The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan is considered their version of the Vietnam War so it is fitting that Rambo joins the fight to rescue his captured friend, Col. Trautman. I think Rambo III is slightly better than the second and a source for much of the hilarious parody in "Hot Shots! Part Duex".This film is an interesting companion piece to the excellent "

DVD: AnamorphicReview: Like almost all of Danny Boyle's movies, this great film has a weaker final act. It takes the thrill and intensity of surviving a journey toward the sun and turns it into a slasher horror at the end. The intense heat of the sun, the freezing vacuum of space and the dangers of human error and emotion used during the majority of the film were more effective and believable

DVD: 4 Discs Review: This was the season where Eric and Donna finally do it and Michael and Jackie break up. Tommy Chong joined the cast this year as Hyde's boss at the photomat. Some of the best episodes are "Vanstock", "Hunting", & "Parents Find Out". Quotes: "You moron, a girl movie is a make-out movie." ""Well, then, I'm in." "Me too. I will come and watch."

DVD: Full Screen - 1:33 Review: After a Columbian drug lord is extradiated to the US, his son takes an American Prep School hostage in order to free his father. It is a fun tightly-paced film with Sean Astin as the school troublemaker who leads the other students against the terrorists. Louis Gossett, Jr. is excellent as the Dean, walking the fine line between authoritative and sympathetic. I

DVD: AnamorphicReview: A modern musical about a street musician and an immigrant girl from the Czech Republic who bond over music in Dublin, Ireland.

DVD: Enhanced 16x9Review: Preposterous plot, but well-crafted fun. A lot of films like this age very badly, but this has stayed as entertaining as the first time I saw it. Richard Grieco plays a high school student who goes on a trip to Europe with his French class and is confused for a secret agent with the same name on his flight. It's a witty James Bond spoof that reminds me alot of the film,

DVD: AnamorphicReview: This is an amazing final sequel for the Rocky films. I think without the television success of Sylvestor's entertaining boxing show, The Contender, this movie would never have been made. Stallone understands this role better than any other and it shows in the great writing as Rocky struggles after the death of his wife. Burt Young brings great pathos and comic relief as

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 "We're police officers! We're not trained to handle this kind of violence!" Review: This Sylvester Stallone action film has aged a bit, but it is still fun. He plays a wrongly-convicted badass cop who is unfrozen in a more peaceful, but naive future after a violent criminal from his time has escaped from the cryo-prison. It is a fish-out-of-water tale as he struggles against

DVD: Fullscreen - 1:33 "I'm not too optimistic about our young friend's success. Some of these landowners can be hard nuts to crack." "Then we use a hammer." Review: This one reminds me of Road House, another well-made B movie. I think it is Jean-Claude Van Damme's best film outside of "Bloodsport" & "Kickboxer". He's supported with a good script and high production values. It's got two good

DVD: Anamorphic "Let it simmer." Review: I am so glad I went and saw this. I had been skeptical about seeing it, but when Michael Jackson is on a stage, he is still mesmerizing. Even at 50, he had the moves and the voice. Watching the rehearsal footage really shows a master perfecting his craft and I found myself smiling throughout the entire film.

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 "Ears and noses will be the trophies of the day. But no hand shall touch him! NO HAND SHALL TOUCH HIM! He'll cross over whole in honor."

DVD: Anamorphic "Remove the Earth woman. Prepare her for our pleasure." Review: This retro sci-fi film of football star, Flash Gordon, saving the Earth from the evil Emperor Ming shouldn't be as entertaining as it is. Vivid colors, crazy outfits, hammy acting, & cheap-looking special effects all merge together into a delicious stew. The rock soundtrack by Queen is the spice that make it all

DVD: Anamorphic "Don't worry. I'm not making the same mistakes again." "No, you're making... You're making all new ones." Review: This is a weak sequel to a great film. I think it's problem is the storyline is filled with supposedly intelligent characters who consistently make the wrong decision at every opportunity. It prevents emotional involvement in their journey as a viewer. The returning

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 "Trust the dogs." Review: This movie is a bit too formulaic and the dialogue is on-the-nose at times, but that is expected for a Disney movie aimed at children. It is at it's best when it is concentrating on the dogsled race and the harsh conditions they faced. I liked how they were able to make the dogsled a more active object than I expected, jumping and cornering like a

DVD: Anamorphic "That's your robot?" "At least I got one." "Well, what does it do?" "Anything I want... Get me a juice box, Beeyatch!" Review: Jon Favreau has shown his talent for Directing once again. He has a great sense on how to tell a story and keep the most fantastical elements grounded in reality. This is a film of two brothers who start playing an old board game they find in the

Review: A nature documentary that gives an excellent overview of the many ecosystems throughout Planet Earth. Filmed with High Definition cameras, the visuals are spectacular. Some of my favorite episodes are Mountains, Fresh Water and Jungles. 5 out of 5 Stars

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 "I guess the look I'm best known for is Blue Steel. And then there's Ferrari and Le Tigre. Le Tigre's a lot softer. It's a little bit more of a catalog look." Review: This is a spoof movie of the fashion industry with great lines and lots of funny cameos. Ben Stiller plays a top male model who is brain-washed in an attempt to kill the new leader of Malaysia who wants to

Smell it, smell it, smell it. Now take it. That's for you." "Aaaah! All right, let me go!!" Review: I was very surprised. I loved this movie as much as I normally hate Adam Sandler movies.

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 - Double-Sided "You wish to see the frontier?" "Yes sir, before it's gone." Review: This is an amazing movie that shows the last years of the Sioux Indians before they were moved onto reservations. The film follows a Civil War soldier who finds himself posted to an isolated and abandoned army fort far out in the prairie where he comes in contact with a nearby tribe. Graham

DVD: Anamorphic "I really love your band. I think the song 'Fever Dog' is a big step forward for you guys. I think you guys producing it yourselves, instead of Glyn Johns, was the right thing to do. And the guitar sound... is incendiary. Incendiary. Way to go." "Well, don't stop there!" "Yeah, come back here! I'm incendiary too, man!" Review: A great road trip movie about a young writer on

Why don't you sit down and make me miserable?" Review: This is an outstanding film about conflict diamonds in Africa.

"What's that supposed to mean? I don't always talk like that." Review: A better than average teen flick that occurs over one night at a graduation party.

DVD: Anamorphic "Cody's around here somewhere, I can feel it in my nuggets!" Review: I think this is the best non-documentary surf movie I have ever seen. Normally you get actors who can't surf or surfers who can't act messing it up. The animators were able to accurately recreate the sensation of surfing and added lots of humor to a simple but effective story. The CGI waves look amazing. "

I think I'm going to faint." Review: This is a funny movie with many touching moments.

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 - Movie split on double-sided disc "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." Review: This is a great movie on the life of a mid-level New York mobster. Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro are outstanding as supporting characters. Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco are excellent as well but I never completely connect to them as the main characters which drops

DVD: Anamorphic "Did you see that?" "Yeah I saw it, I did it!" Review: This is very entertaining considering that this is the 4th film in a series. Bruce Willis is comfortable in this famous role and it shows. Justin Long is good as the hacker sidekick who helps John McClane fight back against the criminals taking over the nation's computer networks. The only moment that elicited groans from

It would be good for you." "Yeah, out in that healthy smog and with those friendly muggers." Review: Another great season of Sanford and Son. Superflyer is hilarious.

DVD: 3 Discs "Ethel, how'd you like one across your lip?" Review: Redd Foxx is hilarious as Fred Sanford, the lazy owner of junkyard in LA. His comedic sense of timing and delivery is impeccable and timeless. Demond Wilson plays a great straight man as Fred's son, Lamont.

DVD: Anamorphic "Well, Emil... I guess it's just you... and me... your balls... and this drawer." Review: This is a comedic remake of the famous television show with Dan Ackroyd as the uptight LA detective and Tom Hanks as his more laid back partner. It is fun, but nothing special.

DVD: Anamorphic "Ma, will you quit worrying. There is no danger. New York is just like Kansas... intensified." Review: This is the perfect Michael J.
