David Bowie

David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly

Sony Pictures, 1999

Labyrinth- a grown up Fairy Tale
I purchased Labyrinth when it first came out, as a video tape. I have always been a David Bowie fan, and wanted to see him in this role. I still consider it to be a timeless classic. I already owned the music from the movie, which is wonderful, as well as the DVD. I ...

Imagine (Deluxe Edition)

John Lennon, Yoko Ono

Warner Home Video, 2005

Lesson in Peace and Understanding. Like living with Lennon.
This DVD is simply great, if you are even slightly interested in John Lennon. It contains so much "behind the scenes" footage, that I was very surprised that he was as accessible as he appears in this documentary. One scene shows a lost young man, who trespasses on ...

The Prestige

Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2007

You'll Care About the Film in this Box
Nolan's Prestige, like many of his films, is a dark, somber exploration of human emotions, ambitions and failings. It features many of Nolan's artistic touches, including his trademark out-of-sequence narrative, so those of you who hate this format will be irritated by ...

The Raymond Briggs' The Snowman

David Bowie, Peter Auty

Sony Pictures, 2006

The Perfect DVD of the Original Release
Many people complained that the DVD they ordered did not include the David Bowie introduction they loved as children. Having seen both introductions, I can't really say that one is better than the other. I grew up with the Raymond Briggs introduction (which happens ...

The Prestige [Blu-ray]

Labyrinth (Anniversary Edition)

David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly

Sony Pictures, 2007

Labyrinth- a grown up Fairy Tale

The Hunger

Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie

Warner Home Video, 2004

Slash... Glub... Slurp...
THE HUNGER is one of the best vampire movies around. The mysterious, bloodsucking Blaylocks (Catherine Deneuve as Miriam and David Bowie as John) live a non-life of luxury and debauched serial-murder / feeding. Doctor Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon) gets mixed up w/ the ...

Arthur and the Invisibles (Widescreen Edition)

Jason Bateman, Robert De Niro

The Weinstein Company, 2007

Grandmother's favorite
I bought this movie for myself because I loved it so much when I viewed it with my grandchildren. It is a wonderful movie with lots of laughs and serious moments. The little boy was so cute and was very good as the main character. Get it to watch with your kids and ...

Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me

Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook

New Line Home Video, 2002

Never have seen Twin Peaks series. Good film, excellent music
I have never seen the Twin Peaks TV series, I did not know anything about Laura Palmer, so my review is not biased or comparative. I catched this film on TV, I knew it was David Lynch from minute one. Here Lynch is totally unleashed, and yes, the story sometimes ...

Basquiat

Jeffrey Wright, Michael Wincott

Miramax, 2002

I appreciate it more each time I watch it
Well, I love the artwork of Basquiat; add to that the fantastic actors (Jeffrey Wright is genius); the film manages to capture the essence of Basquiat's short but talented life in a celebratory and poignant way. As time goes on, this film gains even more relevance. ...

August

Josh Hartnett, Naomie Harris

FIRST LOOK PICTURES, 2008

WOW! Part II
The first three reviewers of this film could not be more wrong - I just had the chance to watch "August" and found it satisfying on every level. This is the kind of movie that I love - one that sneaks in under the radar and knocks my socks off. Josh Hartnett, while ...

The Man Who Fell to Earth (Special Edition)

David Bowie, Rip Torn

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2003

The Man Who Fell To Earth - Trippy and Beautiful
Anybody who loves science fiction as much as I do should have seen this movie a long time ago and studied it closely. Yet I only recently was introduced to The Man Who Fell to Earth and was mesmerized. For the time period it was made, it is visually incredible. ...

Christiane F.

Natja Brunckhorst, Thomas Haustein

Image Entertainment, 2001

Christiane F.
The true story of a teenage girl living on the edge. Very eye opening. Some parts are very graphic. All in all a very good movie.

The Man Who Fell to Earth [Blu-ray]
David Bowie, Rip Torn

Criterion Collection, 2008

The Man Who Fell to Earth is a daring exploration of science fiction as an art form. The story of an alien on an elaborate rescue mission provides the launching pad for Nicolas Roeg s visual tour de force, a formally adventurous examination of alienation in contemporary life. Rock legend David Bowie, in his acting debut, completely embodies the ...

David Bowie - A Reality Tour

David Bowie, Gail Ann Dorsey

Sony, 2004

A Bowie fan must have!
For Bowie fans the Reality Tour DVD is a must. It is 140 minutes of 100 percent Bowie magic. The 30 song setlist richly spans the length of his numerous musical reincarnations. Bowie, ever the performer, brings the house down on every number proving that he's still ...
