BAGDAD CAFE - DVD review
Don’t confuse this indie film with the disappointing TV sitcom by the same name. “Bagdad Cafe” may have inspired the series, but the only inspiration is to be found in the original film. If you like indie flicks, check this one out.

THE VERDICT - Blu-ray review
Count me among those who think the Best Actor Oscar that Paul Newman won for "The Color of Money" was a make-up call. The groundwork was laid right here in “The Verdict,” and with the equally accomplished “Absence of Malice” a year earlier.

BRUBAKER - Blu-ray review
I never felt that I was wasting my time watching “Brubaker,” only that it could have been a more dramatic and taut prison movie—which is odd, because it's directed by Stuart Rosenberg ("Cool Hand Luke").

JUBAL - Blu-ray review
(Delmer) Daves was a genuine artist who crossed genres but was never more comfortable than when using the mythic West as his canvas.

History Channel producers only wish they could produce battlefield recreations this convincing.

THE HENRY FONDA FILM COLLECTION - DVD review
A solid set that will appeal mostly to male viewers, because seven out of 10 films are war movies or Westerns, and an eighth is a crime drama about a mass murderer who targets women.

HAPPY PEOPLE: A YEAR IN THE TAIGA - DVD review
Herzog again brings us an interesting viewpoint on an interesting and foreign subject. He shows us a lifestyle that is both simple and hard for vastly differing reasons.

VIVA ZAPATA! - Blu-ray review
“Viva Zapata!” is one of those films that, while it continues to have impressive aspects, just doesn’t hold up as well as it did when it was first made. You find yourself wishing it were in widescreen, and that they had hired at least ONE Latino actor.

ONE HOUR PHOTO - Blu-ray review
Without Robin Williams, “One Hour Photo” is just another predictable B movie thriller. He’s like that slow train wreck, personified, that people can’t seem to take their eyes off.
