April DVDs
For the April DVD order I reviewed the movies of Val Kilmer, Charlize Theron, and Nicole Kidman, plus I bought a handfull of Blu-rays and continued purchasing complete seasons of the '100' best Television shows. Oh and as always there is a smattering of customer requests and non-fiction DVDs.
The DVD's
August Evening - This is a recent (2007) Spanish Language Indie film by up and comer Chris Eska. It won four Film Festival awards including Best Picture at the Woodstock Film Festival.
Batman Forever - Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, Jim Carey and Tommy Lee Jones.
Cold Mountain Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, and Natalie Portman. It didn't win all the Oscars it was supposed to but the critics loved it.
Curse of the Jade Scorpion Woody Allen, Helen Hunt, Dan Aykroyd, and Charlize Theron I think it must be a right of passage or something for everyone to do a Woody Allen movie.
Dead Calm Great suspense on the high seas with Sam Neil, Nicole Kidman, and Billy Zane. (Some say it's Nicole's best role.)
Dogville An innovative film by controversial director Lars Von Trier with Nicole Kidman Lauren Becall and James Caan.
Doors Oliver Stone's homage to 60's icon Jim Morrison with Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan.
El Rincon De La Virgenes I don't have a clue why I bought this, but it's director, Alberto Isaac, is an award winning Mexican Director. It must be a minor classic I ran across but now I don't remember.
Ghost and the Darkness. Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer hunt man killing lions in Africa.
Ghost Breakers Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. Bob Hope back when he was at his funniest.
Interpreter Directed by Sydney Pollack with Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn but they needed a better script.
Milagro Beanfield War Robert Redford directs a rich cast including Ruben Blades Sonia Braga, Melanie Griffith and Christopher Walken in a movie based on the John Nichols book.
Nobody's Fool/Fat Man and Little Boy I bought this double DVD for Nobody's Fool. It's out of print and I couldn't get it any other way, but with Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Melanie Griffith, and Bruce Willis it's a must in any library collection.
Others An Eerie high quality ghost story with Nicole Kidman.
Real Genius. Val Kilmer does revenge of the supernerd.
Serenity A movie based on the Firefly TV series this movie has spunk and spirit. I like it a lot better than the critics do. I never saw the TV show but I enjoyed the movie.
Sweet November Keanu reeves and Charlize Theron in a remake of the same name.
That thing you do. Tom Hanks directs Liv Tyler and Charlize Therone among others.
Thunderheart Val Kilmer, San Shephard, Fred Ward and Graham Greene. Val Kilmer investigates a murder on the Pine Ridge Oglala reservation in South Dakota.
To Die For Nicole Kidman, Casey Affleck Matt Dillon, and Joaquin Phoenix all star in a black comedy.
Trapped a taut thriller with Kevin Beacon and Courtney Love kidnapping Charlize Theron's and Stuart Townsend's daughter.
True Romance Violent and over the top but Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Bronson Pinchot, Chris Penn James Gandolfini, and Samuel L Jackson. Oh and Written by Quentin Tarantino.
Two Days in the Valley Danny Aiello, James Spader, Eric Stoltz, Jeff Daniels, Teri Hatcher, Marsha Mason Charlize Theron. Whew! LA Crime Special.
Waking up in Reno Billy Bob Thorton, Charlize Therone, Natasha Richardson, Patrick Swayze, Penelope Cruz in a redneck Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.
What Dreams May Come Robin Williams & Cuba Gooding in a special effects take on the Divine Comedy.
