DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "Regardless of the DVD package's shortcomings, Sacco and Vanzetti is worth seeing. The pair's story is, and always has been, interesting, and Peter Miller's take on it is a welcome addition to the continuing dialogue that surrounds it." Quote: "The nudity in the film is as non-exploitative as any screen nudity I've ever seen, and there is far more to the film than just naked bodies." Quote: "If you have any interest in great literature or in period film and aren't scared by the 19-hour run time, check this collection out." Quote: "638 Ways to Kill Castro detracts from its message by trying to be overly playful and stylish. Structured around the stories of men who have been directly involved in plots against Castro, the film seems to have little faith in the inherent appeal of its content." Quote: "Though its subjects may be sensational, Deliver Us From Evil is not a sensationalistic film. It is a thoughtful and frightening portrait of a man whose monstrous choices left an indelible mark on the lives of those who knew him." Quote: "Harry Smith's legendary contribution to music was the Anthology of American Folk Music, a collection of American folk and blues tracks culled from obscure 78s released between 1927 and 1932. Upon its release, bohemia rejoiced." Quote: "It is long-winded, non-specific, and obscure; but it is necessarily so. Claude Chabrol excels at making films whose central plot points seem mundane but setting them in a world that is subtly askew." Quote: "Like many, I was a fan of Hartman's and watched no more than two episodes of NewsRadio with Jon Lovitz before promptly changing the channel for good. In retrospect, I may have been a bit hasty." Quote: "The humor is less obvious and less forced than many of today's more popular animated shows and sometimes just as funny. As a DVD purchase where the short episodes are bound to be consumed in quick succession, however, the show will inevitably wear thin and quickly lose its appeal." Quote: "What new can a Holocaust film say?" |
