Phenomenon

John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick

Walt Disney Video, 1997

Travolta's Best
I love this movie. It will always be part of my permanent collection for its timeless brilliance and beauty. I know that at times it can be a bit sappy or outdated as some have mentioned, but I have watched this movie dozens of times and have yet to be disappointed. It ...

Vision Quest

Matthew Modine, Linda Fiorentino

Warner Home Video, 2004

Best wrestling movie ever (but we all know Chute would have won)
This is easily the best wrestling movie ever made, and it will probably never be topped. Louden Swain (Matthew Modine in a role he'll never top) is a high school senior on the wrestling team. By all accounts his life is relatively normal for a rural community. ...

Vantage Point (Single-Disc Edition)

Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox

Sony Pictures, 2008

Fascinating and totally edge of your seat
I had read all the reviews that said the story was boring because of the format of the movie. Yet we did not experience this at all. In fact we were completely captivated throughout the entire flick. My wife and I found it to be really exciting! Each time the story ...

Vantage Point [Blu-ray]

Platoon (Special Edition)

Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Vietnam. FUBAR!!
I've read a couple of reviews that downgraded this film as being unrealistic. Of, course only the most sensational aspects of the war are portrayed. Duh, it's a movie. I wasn't over there. The war mercifully ended weeks before I would have been. I do have numerous ...

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Widescreen Special Edition)

Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh

Universal Studios, 2004

the movie about nothing says a lot
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is the quintessential teen/'80s movie. And it's one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and never get tired of because it's so funny. It's hard to say who my favorite person was in the film because everyone was ...

Everyone's Hero

William H. Macy, Rob Reiner

20th Century Fox, 2007

The Last King of Scotland (Widescreen Edition)

Forest Whitaker, James McAvoy

20th Century Fox, 2007

The Last King of Scotland
While Nicholas Garrigan never existed, he was the sum of several people who were close to Idi Amin. Forest Whitaker was both charming and terrifying as Amin. James McAvoy, an up and coming actor was good with the character that was given him. He was much better in ...

The Great Debaters (2-Disc Special Collector's Edition)

Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker

Genius Products (TVN), 2008

Great Review

Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai

Forest Whitaker, Henry Silva

Artisan Entertainment, 2001

Stunning offbeat hitman movie
This is a real gem - a cool, Eastern influenced assassin movie. It has a great performance from Forest Whitaker and some stunning action, as well as a heart and soul that place it well above the above hitman movie. This is a brilliant film, strongly recommended.

The Air I Breathe [Blu-ray]

Forest Whitaker, Sarah Michelle Gellar

THINKFilm, 2008

A film of substance
If you like light weight films like "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle "or "Pineapple Express", this film is not for you." The Air I Breath" is a film that explores how our actions affect others, in ways, that we can not begin to imagine. The film follows what ...
