Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Magnolia, 2006

Worthy of Euripides- A True American Tradgedy.
You all probably know the story: It briefly dominated the news the late 2001. Enron, named one of "America's Most Innovative Companies" by Fortune magazine for six consecutive years, from 1996 to 2001. On the Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work for in America" ...

Alexander, Revisited - The Final Cut [Blu-ray]

Anthony Hopkins, David Bedella

Warner Home Video, 2007

Great Portrayal of a Great Historical Figure!
I loved this movie very much, it was a little bit long, but keep in mind to tell a great story like this one you must keep a open mind and sit down and listen. WARNING SOME SPOLIERS ARE PRESENT It starts out with the aged Ptolemy I Soter (Anthony Hopkins), a ...

Being There

Peters Sellers, Shirley MacLaine

Warner Home Video, 2001

Subtle and Sublime Masterpiece!
It's been nearly three decades (ugh!) since I saw this film in the theater and always remembered it as being one of the great movies of all time - intelligent, witty, satirical, and thought-provoking. Sadly, I hadn't had a chance (no pun intended) to see it since and, ...

Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (+ Digital Copy)

Tadanobu Asano, Khulan Chuluun

New Line Home Video, 2008

A great epic in the vein of Spartacus, without the Hollywood sentimentality
I love historical epics, especially when they are crafted with skill, love and care. This movie is as grand as anything since Spartacus, with breath-taking cinematic views and reasonably careful adherence to reality. The main difference here is the quiet unsentimental ...

Marvel Heroes Collection

20th Century Fox, 2008

Great set of movies, great price
I bought this as a deal for somewhere around $27, and it was well worth it. It has all the orginal movies and all the extras, plus the Fantastic 4 cartoon shows (I believe 4 episodes) and 2 reprints of old X-men comic books in it. Great for doing a marathon event. ...

Die Hard [Blu-ray]

Bruce Willis, Reginald VelJohnson

20th Century Fox, 2007

Die Hard
The original and the best in my opinion! See Alan Rickman in his breakout role and in his prime! Also, Bruce Willis still had some hair left! Hard to believe this movie is 20 years old.

Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)

Ewan McGegor, Natalie Portman

20th Century Fox, 2005

"You were sent to destroy the Sith, not join them!"
So the time has come that I review "Revenge of the Sith." As those who have read my reviews for Episodes I and II will know, I do not have much sympathy for the people who continue to claim that these three films have wrecked their lives forever. What life is this that ...

Die Hard (Special Edition Steelbook)

Pokemon Movie - The Rise of Darkrai

Sarah Natochenny, Emily Jenness

VIZ VIDEO, 2008

Darkrai Delivers
My 7-year-old son is a HUGE fan of Pokemon and I have to say I have come to admire the phenomenon as well. In spite of the general premise that the Pokemon are used to "battle' each other, which I was initially uncomfortable with, the stories of the TV show and this ...

I, Claudius

Derek Jacobi, Siân Phillips

Image Entertainment, 2000

LOVE IT>.... MUST BUY
Oh my.. this is soooooo good.. especially if you liked HBO's Rome..... Intriguing... no compelling!

Standing In The Shadows of Motown

Richard 'Pistol' Allen, Jack Ashford

Lions Gate, 2003

Absolutely outstanding!
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, musical or otherwise. (I admit to a strong bias, growing up madly in love with the music these gentlemen produced.) The historic, biographical, and concert footage here assembled brings these long-unsung musical ...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray]

David Andrews, Earl Boen

Warner Home Video, 2008

ARNOLDNATOR IS BACK!.
TERMINATOR 3 BLU RAY WAS OK, UNLIKE 1 AND 2 WHICH ON BLU RAY WERE AWSOME. ARNOLD WAS LOOKING ABIT OLD IN THIS MOVIE, WHICH MADE IT HARD TO WATCH, BUT HE DID MANAGE TO STILL PULL IF OFF. IF YOU HAVE A DVD BLU RAY PLAYER, RENT THIS MOVIE FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY, YOUR ...
