DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "If you're not already down with Jerry to the point you'll laugh at a reversal or exaggeration of his usual shtick, then The Patsy is not your Lewis movie." Quote: "This is a 'gift idea.' It'll sit there at drugstores again this year, hoping for that moment when a little kid is desperate for a gift to her grandparents, and mom's around to say, 'Hey, I remember them watching Red Skelton a lot.'" Quote: "Love Don't Cost a Thing probably don't cost too much as a cable sale, and it surely deserves that." Quote: "Gaiman is currently working on several film projects; here's hoping that John Bolton got him the experience he wanted and that everything goes well, because we need people this full of ideas in the cinema landscape." Quote: "Jesus of Montreal won scads of awards from various countries and festivals, including prestigious awards at Cannes, and was nominated for best foreign language film at the Oscars. Yet it still has the aura of an overlooked film. " Quote: "Ce the numbers are coming in from feature movies such as Hi De Ho and Jitterbug Party, they are in most cases not really live performances but lip syncs to prerecorded numbers, with full cinema technique at work including close-ups at significant points in the song and a fake audience." Quote: "In one scene we see the triumph of the artist and the individual, the tendency to entropy in spite of the mousetraps of men, or whatever, the will to power and/or vandalism, the subversion of the father figure, and the implication that attending the rally is like stepping in poop; and on top of all that it's just plain screwing with the brownshirts. Can you dig it? And in terms of poetic content, this whole movie is like that." Quote: "All in all, Grace and Favour is a pretty decent type of follow-up sitcom television program. It offers a reprise of the original cast and authentic new laughs drawn from the same character humor transported to a country locale." Quote: "The band delivers enthusiastic performances of several classic hits, a few classic album tracks that didn't hit so big, and a selection of the authentic-sounding new tunes from the comeback release, The Curse of Blondie." Quote: "Although there are lots of things to nitpick about the show, there's not really anything wrong with it. It's targeted young and it's pretty average, but it's a market to fill and they can't all be gems." |
