DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "A supernatural ghost story with only a few brief gore effects. Gore hounds will be disconcerted with the lack of blood bags, exploding squibs, while the target audience -- those who prefer a more cerebral supernatural film -- will quite likely be repulsed by the cover and miss out on a fine Korean spook film that is closer in spirit to Shutter (the Thai version, not the American remake)" Quote: "It's entertaining to see the clothes, cars, and other accouterments of this particular slice of sixties Americana as the camera sweeps past the crowds." Quote: "If you believe a twice democratically elected popular leader is a dictator (Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez), that Fox news is fair and balanced, or that the IMF is only extending a helping hand to the third world, Bamako will not likely ring your bell." Quote: "Probably requires more than a single viewing to digest all the historical information offered, and it's fun enough to withstand multiple visits." Quote: "Hitchcock has fashioned his own unique sound. At its best, the music is mesmerizing, emotional, enigmatic, and as slippery to hold on to as a wriggling fish." Quote: "The documentary succeeds fairly well at what it set out to do: contrast the reality of working class suburbanites with the fantasy of their unusual gaming subculture." Quote: "Speaking Freely is to the documentary what a whiskey neat is to a foo-foo mixed drink with a little umbrella. No offense to Daiquiri lovers, but sometimes a stiff shot straight from the bottle is the appropriate choice." Quote: "Slick, but not too slick. It's a feel-good independent film minus manipulative sentimentality, filled with soulful, toe-tapping blues numbers. Most important of all, it has characters you can give a damn about." Quote: "Aside from the dated sets and a few too many car chases, the series holds up quite well. In fact, it set standards so high for television's P.I. genre that its inventiveness and charm is still unmatched three decades later." Quote: "Slyly disguised as an entertaining coming-of-age road movie, Bye Bye Brazil is a travelogue, a documentary, and a dry satire that sometimes veers into an allegorical take on the selling out of the Brazilian citizenry and the rape of the rural countryside. Ignore the politics and you will likely still find it an enjoyable, understated drama with exotic locales." |
