Speed-Excellent/Speed 2-Fair

Speed was very very entertaining and thrilling from start to finish. Well written and great acting by Reeves and Bullock. Speed 2 would have been better off as a made for TV movie. Slow, poor script, Acting was ok, but the actors didn't have much of a script to work with.

Excellent Acting And Storyline

Wonderfully acted by Adams and Bale. Story is a well written, stark, and gripping critique on what our national political representation is about. Tough to watch and at the same time you can't turn away for an instant.

WOW!!!

Pacino in an early effort performs as if he's been acting since birth. Powerful performance is too weak of a description. One of his absolute best, and he's had many. Painful and absorbing story that keeps you glued to the screen from beginning to end.

Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war opus Full Metal Jacket is available as part of the Stanley Kubrick collection from Warner Bros. Featuring a digital master from restored elements and a soundtrack newly remastered in Dolby Digitial 5.1, this title looks and sounds great. The only qualm, and it is a rather major one, is the format of the film itself. It is unfortunately presented in full screen, not the original widescreen format many DVD lovers have become accustomed to. As for bonus materials, the title is on the skimpy side, offering only the original theatrical trailer, scene access, and language choices in English and French. Subtitles are also available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Another well told story through Kubrick's powerful direction. The acting and script kept me transfixed and before I realized it the movie was over. War...what a waste.

Gripping! Relevant! Poignant!

A sad relevant reminder of so few willing to stand against those who are so powerful. Thank goodness for the few. Gripping storytelling and Jack Lemmon was unforgettable.

Superior!

Wonderful, exciting, and joyfully spine tingling without all of the blood and gore that you see today. Real storytelling that took me back to when I went to the neighborhood movie theater as a young boy in the 1950's and got good and scared without having nightmares about it later.

Miller's Crossing is the Coen brothers film that few are familiar with, which is a shame, since it's one of their best works. For the most part, this DVD does justice to an amazing work of art. The high point is unquestionably the image. Framed at 1.85:1 and anamorphic, it's impossible not to recognize Barry Sonnenfeld's gorgeous cinematography. Of particular interest are the browns, which permeate the film. They are warm and full of detail, as is the remainder of the color scheme. The darkness of the film is obviously part of the Coens' master plan, and it comes across spectacularly here. It's refreshing to see that this film wasn't give a lesser treatment. The 4.0 Dolby Digital soundtrack can't match the visuals, but that doesn't mean it's not noteworthy. Though surrounds are rarely heard, there is some separation up front, giving the film extra life. Sadly, the supplemental features are rather thin. Though good, an interview with Sonnenfeld on a number of subjects related to this film just isn't enough. It seems clear there is so much more that could have been discussed, but simply isn't. Brief interviews from Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, and John Turturro don't have the time to add much either, though the actors' love of this film is quite obvious. Finally, along with a photo gallery of meager proportions, are trailers for this film, Raising Arizona, and Barton Fink. While lacking in some ways, Fox has done just enough to satisfy the fervent legion of fans that adore this film.

Story was a little slow and acting could have been better, but still the acting was pretty good. Not riveting but interesting and worth watching.
