DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "Grace, or more specifically Holly Hunter, is the trouble with the faith-based crime drama Saving Grace. As is her norm, Hunter showers the titular character with nuance and depth, bringing an otherwise stock character to life in unexpected and interesting ways. If not for her compelling characterization, it would be a simple matter to pass this show by without a glance in the rear view mirror." Quote: "A mixture of great music, inspired acting, and intriguing relationships tips the balance: Definitely, Maybe is more 'definitely' than 'maybe.'" Quote: "If you could find it funny to watch your Dad snort lines of coke off a hooker's ass while covering Jesus's eyes with his hand, then Californication will tickle your funnybone -- with a pressure washer." Quote: "If we have to hear twice how to select and peel asparagus or open a bottle of champagne, it is worth it to see Pepin's joy in sharing the knowledge." Quote: "An antidote to the slick, plastic, emotionally vacant flicks that pass for softcore, Sarno's work explores complicated psychosexual relationships that power his erotic action." Quote: "The suspense, the off-kilter look, the maddening enigma, and the heroine with a backbone of steel of the OVA have all been subsumed. While the result is not bad, it doesn't stand out, either." Quote: "The Lives of Others took the Oscar from Pan's Labyrinth because it is a movie lover's movie. This may be his feature debut, but Henckel Von Donnersmarck got most things right." Quote: "None of them enjoys the stratospheric reputation of an Out of the Past or a Gun Crazy, but they are thematically cohesive, dyed-in-the-wool films noir with gangsters, wrong choices, femmes fatale, murder, grime, and stabbing lances of shadow and light." Quote: "Kate Walsh is the first credit and photo on the DVD cover, though her role is relatively minor in the movie. But she is getting her own spin-off series, Private Practice. Coincidence?" Quote: "While I'm typically a vocal proponent of strict interpretation, in this case it's great that the series creators used the core characters and not much else." |
