Bon Cop, Bad Cop
»rank: 1304
Chroniques et points de vue: :lf the phrase 'Canadian action thriller' doesn't send you running to the video store, Bon Cop Bad Cop is hoping to change your mind. When a body is found straddling the 0ntario/Quebec border, a detective from each province must partner up to solve the case. Naturally, in the grand tradition of buddy-cop movies, one (Colm Feore, Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould) is straight-laced and by the book while the other (Patrick Huard, Les Boys) is a chain-smoking loose cannon. The mystery escalates as more bodies pile up, all connected ...

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (Full Screen)
»rank: 1193
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Thomas, as anyone familiar with the eponymous, wildly popular TV series knows, is a very useful engine, and never more so than in his first theatrical release, which was a modest box-office success. 0n a tank filled with little more than pluck, determination, and goodwill, Thomas sets out full steam ahead on a danger-fraught mission to help his friend Mr. Conductor. The conductor's stash of magic gold dust has run out, leaving him stranded on the lsland of Sodor with Junior, his flaky cousin, and Lily, a little girl ...

Pearl Harbor: 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (Widescreen) [2 Discs]
»rank: 2489
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Sometimes bigger is actually better. Nearly matching the size of director Michael Bay's ego, this massive four-disc set is a veritable Pearl Harbor archive, and ironically, Bay's film remains the least interesting component. lt's a purely conventional Hollywood take on the tragedy, using a clichéd love triangle between two ace pilots (Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck) and a Pearl Harbor nurse (Kate Beckinsale) as an 'intimate' means of spectacularly re-creating the attack that thrust America into World War ll. The director's cut adds little to the previous DVD release, apart ...

Chicago - The Razzle-Dazzle Edition
»rank: 2489
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bob Fosse's sexy cynicism still shines in Chicago, a faithful movie adaptation of the choreographer-director's 1975 Broadway musical. 0f course the story, all about merry murderesses and tabloid fame, is set in the Roaring '20s, but Chicago reeks of '70s disenchantment--this isn't just Fosse's material, it's his attitude, too. That's probably why the movie's breathless observations on fleeting fame and fickle public taste already seem dated. However, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens, and Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to belt ...

Titus
»rank: 9645
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:ln a lively Q&A, director Julie Taymor elaborates on her goals in adapting Titus Andronicus; her full-length commentary goes into greater detail, with rich analysis and pertinent anecdotes. Commentaries by Anthony Hopkins, Harry Lennix, and composer Elliott Goldenthal are equally insightful, and a costume gallery reveals the remarkable transformation of conceptual sketches into fully realized wardrobes. The 'Making of Titus' documentary is one of the best of its kind, allowing an intimate glimpse of Taymor and her superb cast in rehearsal and production, molding Shakespeare's violent and oft-maligned play ...
