Alexander: The Final Cut

Cataclysmically maligned upon its release in 2004, Alexander - whether it deserved it or not - became the first candidate for the decade’s equivalent of Ishtar. It was viewer unfriendly, overly convoluted, and hard to get through. It was instantly dismissed and critically abused. It was director and co-writer Oliver Stone’s epic telling of the life of Alexander the Great, but so complex is his story, so varied the influences on the empire builder’s life, that...

The Usual Suspects - BD

This is a film that features a remarkably strong ensemble cast of actors who have, for the most part, gone on to earn the respect of critics, fellow actors, and filmgoers. It’s an outstanding second effort for a young director named Bryan Singer, who would go on to make the X-Men into a successful franchise. It’s a tale of deceit and misdirection, the story of five career criminals who were brought together in a lineup of The Usual Suspects. In New York City, a truck...

The Sentinel - BD

For those Desperate Housewives fans that are curious to know what Eva Longoria has been doing with her inter-season time off, she’s leveraging her fame to nurture a future film career. In The Sentinel, she has a secondary role as rookie Secret Service agent Jill Marin, assigned to the Service’s Investigation Division under one of its best, David Breckinridge (Kiefer Sutherland). He’s a man with an outstanding reputation to perceive and follow the evidence to wherever...

NewsRadio: The Complete Fifth Season

Phil Hartman’s death remains one of the biggest losses the modern comedy world has known; he passed nearly ten years ago. That oh-so-beloved Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons alum was in every way, shape and form a tried-and-true comic genius: His Frank Sinatra impressions on SNL alone merit him a place in the sketch comedy hall of fame. But NewsRadio was more than just another great venue for Hartman’s smarmy-jackass comic tomfoolery: I must say that there’s a part of...

For Your Consideration

Kathy Griffin has made a handsome living by putting herself on the D-list, sometimes accepting humiliating jobs, and frequently trying to leverage her modest fame for comps, freebies, and generous discounts. She can attract a theater full of fans for her stand-up, but will appear at small corporate gigs if the price is right. I expect her to do Bar Mitzvahs soon. Approval, adulation, and recognition are strong motivators. Co-writer and director Christopher Guest and co...

Bullitt - HD

I must confess that of all the crime melodramas of the ‘60s, Bullitt may be my favorite, so I may be less than objective. Are there plot flaws? Yes. Are there continuity problems? Yes. But this gritty, no-nonsense movie has a refreshingly direct approach, believable performances, a wonderful twist of a plot, and one of the iconic car chases in motion picture history. And speaking of icons, this is one of Steve McQueen’s best performances.Walter...

Peter Pan: 2-Disc Platinum Edition

Peter Pan was intended to be Walt’s second feature-length animated film following the success of Disney’s Snow White. However, a series of events (including WWII) resulted in delays, and Peter Pan found its way to the screen some sixteen years later in 1953. As you’ll discover in the special features on this disc, Peter Pan made a significant impression on Walt Disney as a child when he saw Maude Adams perform Peter in a stage play in the early 1900’s, and so bringing this...

I Love Lucy: The Final Seasons 7,8,9

This box set touting itself as I Love Lucy’s ‘final seasons’ is really more of a reinterpretation of the Desilu ethic than it is a continuation of the I Love Lucy pantheon. Switching from its grand-slam status as a sitcom-length show to an hour-long beast (it was first released as The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show and then retitled The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour), these final incarnations of Ball and Arnaz’s hyper-popular turns as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo definitely offer tried...
