John Malkovich plays himself... kind of

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 02:30:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - This is one of those movies you just can not put into a category. It had some funny moments, but it's not a comedy. There were some dramatic moments but I wouldn't exactly call it a drama. I think this is one of the few that needs a category all to...

AWWWW S***! What're we gonna do now?

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 02:22:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - The disk starts up with a nifty warning from the FBI that’s actually pretty funny, just pay attention to the G-Man in the lower right hand corner. Kid Rhino’s logo and the remastered in Rhinophonic surf guitar bit comes next. From the way the main menu...

The hottest superheros on the planet, and a cranky Canadien

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 02:17:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - X-Men has one of the prettiest packages I’ve seen on a DVD. Fox really likes to use metallic finishes on their highly anticipated disks (ID4, Sound Of Music) and it works exceptionally well for X-Men. It’s a slipcase much like the Fight Club set but...

A haunting tale of love and loss

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 02:15:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - I have to say, waiting out what I felt would be the inevitable collectors edition of the Crow was nearly impossible. Every week I would look at it sitting on the shelf and I would pick it up, look at the $25 price tag and the lack of features and I would...

The movie that made Brad Pitt famous

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 02:10:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - New Line always does a great job packaging their two disk sets, making sure the package helps to enhance the feel of the movie. Se7en comes in a black cardboard slipcase, the front simply has the word “SE7EN” and “New Line Platinum Series” at the top...

This makes Charlton Heston wish he'd been animated

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 01:48:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - Prince of Egypt comes in the preferred keep case and includes a four-page insert. As with all the DreamWorks disks I’ve seen, the insert has the cover of the DVD on the front page, the back page has stills from the film and an advertisement for other...

Saving the world, one infant squid at a time

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 01:41:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - Sitting on display at the store, or on the shelf at your home, the Limited Edition Men In Black DVD definitely sticks out. It’s a cardboard case with a black matte finish that is a bit larger, both width and height, than the average keep case. On the...

A teenybopper flick with brains

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 01:37:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - For most people my age movies about teenagers and high school don’t tend to be very appealing. Usually it’s because of the unusually smart characters who speak well beyond their years, or because of the bad dialogue that anyone who’s actually been in...

Richard Donner's greatest work

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 01:33:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - Superman the Movie did the unexpected, it took a genre of film long looked upon as silly and campy and turned it into a viable dramatic industry. The moments that were humorous in the film weren’t silly and in fact, added to the characters instead of...

Once again Night show's he's a master of filmmaking

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 01:26:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author filmspytommy - DISK ONE

I am a fan of comic books, I have been since I was a very small child and the idea that somewhere out there superheroes were real came to me long ago, and idea that was squelched with matuity and reasoning. An idea however, that even...
