Antitrust (Region 1) on 29/01/02
Anittrust: Special Edition
I have to admit, I wasn�t too enthused to watch yet another thriller about a computer company that basically has a monopoly on the industry. However, �Antitrust� is different�.it contains drama, comedy and more importantly, entertains! [Full Review]

Billy Elliot (Region 1) on 03/11/01
Dance to "Billy Elliot"
Every now and then I will catch one of those films that is forgotten or left in the dust by the huge Hollywood system epics or disaster pictures. �Billy Elliot� is one of those films. It�s funny, heartbreaking and powerful. Dance your way to your local video retailer and either rent or purchase this feel good film! [Full Review]

Cecil B. Demented (Region 1) on 21/07/01
Cecil B. Demented
The newest film from John Waters, is "Cecil B. Demented", a film that tries to criticize and make fun of the Hollywood system and the films produced there. However, this film fails at trying to be a better film than the ones that are being criticized. [Full Review]

One of the greatest action films of the 1980�s has finally come to DVD in a special edition, loaded with extras that will make anyone salivate.

Donnie Brasco: Special Edition (Region 1) on 19/10/01
Donnie Brasco, Don�t Fuggedaboudit
A few years ago, I would say I went through a mafia-themed movie kick, where anything and everything I watched had to be based on Mafia stories, fiction and non-fiction alike. I found the subject matter fascinating and compelling because of the fact that some of it was based on true stories. During that time, I came across a little missed gem called �Donnie Brasco.� Possibly one of the best mob movies since �Goodfellas.� [Full Review]

Dumbo: 60th Anniversary Edition (Region 1) on 18/12/01
Dumbo flies onto DVD!
One of my favorite Disney titles is �Dumbo�, and now, it has finally appeared on DVD. Debuting after the much lauded 2-disc �Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Platinum Edition,� this edition of �Dumbo� does not compare to the two disc set of the aforementioned, but it does equate to a satisfying disc. [Full Review]

Exit Wounds (Region 1) on 14/03/02
What Can Two Men Do Against A Gang Of Crooked Cops? Whatever It Takes.

Forrest Gump (Region 1) on 19/10/01
Gump Is What Gump Does
Forrest Gump seemed to be the surprise hit of the summer of 1994. Of course at the time, Tom Hanks was riding high on his Oscar win as a homosexual lawyer in Philadelphia, so naturally, people came out in droves to see Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, America�s idiot. Winning awards such as Best Picture and Best Actor, (to Hanks), the mass audience was not wrong with this film. [Full Review]

Thank goodness, Paramount has decided to breathe new life into the original film, hoping to introduce a new generation of fans to the series [Full Review]

Godfather Collection, The (Region 1) on 04/11/01
The Godfather DVD Collection
Finally, Paramount has released what I would like to say is a set of DVD aficionado�s favorite films, The Godfather Trilogy! This series of films from director Francis Ford Coppola has become such a part of the American film experience that everytime a new Mafia related film is released, it is almost a given that the film will be compared to The Godfather. Rightly so, I must add, these films are great pieces of filmmaking and have become classics in their own genre. Paramount has presented a fantastic collection of films that no DVD collector or film fan should be without! [Full Review]

Gods and Monsters (Region 1) on 15/03/02
Dont be scared of "Gods and Monsters"
Although not a box office smash, �Gods and Monsters� is one of those little seen films that should be viewed by any film fan. In fact, I would venture to predict that due to the title, many folks might have avoided this film thinking it was a blood and guts horror film. I am here to tell you its not a horror film, in fact it is a powerful piece of film making about the fictional end of classic monster movie director James Whale near the end of his life. [Full Review]

Little Nicky - Platinum Series (Region 1) on 26/06/01
The devil has sent his son to save the earth.
Adam Sandler�s latest venture in film falls flat and is filled with jokes that I believe were only perpetrated for his own enjoyment. I am a fan of Sandler and his previous films, unfortunately, I have concluded that �Little Nicky� is one of those films that shouldn�t have succeeded and didn�t. [Full Review]

Negotiator, The (Region 1) on 08/12/01
The Negotiator
With a fantastic cast, the 1998 thriller, �The Negotiator� is a fantastic piece of film making with edge of your seat thrills, intrigue and mystery. [Full Review]

Salvador (Region 1) on 26/06/01
Salvador - Special Edition
One of Oliver Stones least seen films may have a rebirth with its recent release onto DVD. Salvador, in my opinion, is by far one of Stone�s most powerful films! In addition to the retelling of a true story, James Woods turns in an Academy Award nominated performance that makes this film a gritty thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. [Full Review]

Saving Silverman (Region 1) on 29/08/01
Saving Silverman
Admittedly, I did spend the money to see this sometimes funny buddy comedy in the theater. And, I�m guilty of shelling out the cash to purchase it on DVD, so I must either be sick or stupid. [Full Review]

Sweet November (Region 1) on 28/11/01
Sweet November isnt so sweet
Well, I succumbed to pressure and viewed the critically panned �Sweet November�, and I can honestly say, for once, the majority of the reviewers who noted this film to be trash is not exactly correct, there is some entertainment value in it. This Keanu Reeves/Charlize Theron weeper, is more laughable then teary! [Full Review]

Tora! Tora! Tora! (Region 1) on 10/10/01
Tora! Tora! Tora!
As we were all bombarded with the media blitz of this past summer�s �Pearl Harbor�, most will forget that there was a much better film made about the tragic events that occurred on December 7, 1941 called �Tora! Tora! Tora!� This is a fantastic film about that �sad day of infamy� that examines both the American and Japan sides of the historical event that consisted of blunders and victories. [Full Review]
