DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "This being the creation of Rumiko Takahashi, though, there's an impish sense of humor that offsets the otherwise serious tone." Quote: "There's clearly the potential here to create a much longer story, on the scale of Maison Ikkoku or Inu Yasha, but for whatever reason, Takahashi moved on to other projects, leaving the tale unfinished and its potential sadly wasted." Quote: "To fight the Nazis was, in the eyes of many Vilna Jews, to threaten the lives of all those who remained in the ghetto. But to submit to the Nazis was also to support a murderous regime and participate in the annihilation of one's own people. Was it better to preserve life at any cost, or to risk death in order to preserve honor?" Quote: "The Edward R. Murrow Collection is undeniably effective in conveying Murrow's importance to broadcast journalism -- and the relevance of his journalistic style and philosophy to our own age." Quote: "It's easy to write this series off as just another ho-hum 'space war epic' drama. Don't. The series is so much more than that. At the very least, it's entertaining, hilarious, and a lot of fun to watch." Quote: "That breezy dismissal of anything resembling adult responsibility or moral consequences is key to The Thin Man's eternal appeal. This movie is Tom Sawyer for grownups, a celebration of bad behavior, and the ultimate escapist fantasy for Depression-era audiences." Quote: "The film rests upon the work of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, and both actors deliver revelatory performances." Quote: "I won't spoil the outcome of the trial or the juicy twists and turns along the way, but those looking for salacious details and ample helpings of sleaze and schadenfreude won't be disappointed." Quote: "I wish Nagai would adapt the entire Bible; I'd love to see the scene where Moses blasts his way into the Pharaoh's temple in his robotic exoskeleton and demands, 'Let my people go!' And the Pharaoh would transform into a fifty-foot-tall tentacled demon with the head of a teddy bear and, for unexplained reasons, gigantic naked boobies. Now that would rock." Quote: "Just as the power of musicals lies in their ability to capture certain feelings or ideas more effectively through music than any other form, the best moments in these films tell stories that cannot be told by means other than the motion and intersection of bodies." |
