The Tuskegee Airmen (Widescreen)
»rank: 10320
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This true story of the black flyers who broke the color barrier in the U.S. Air Force during World War ll is a well-intentioned film highlighted by an excellent cast. Proud, solemn, lowa-born Laurence Fishburne and city-kid hipster Cuba Gooding Jr. are among the hopefuls who meet en route to Tuskegee Air Force Base, where they are among the recruits for an 'experimental' program to 'prove' the abilities of the black man in the U.S. armed services. Fighting prejudice from racist officers and government officials and held ...

Glory (2-Disc Special Edition)
»rank: 4106
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:Director Edward Zwick's commentary is informative and intelligent; and separate picture-in-picture commentaries by costars Matthew Broderick and Morgan Freeman are worthwhile, but segments of Zwick's commentary are needlessly repeated. The 12-minute 'Voices of Glory' gives historical context to readings of actual letters from soldiers in the historic 54th Massachusetts Regiment, and a shorter promotional featurette offers behind-the-scenes clips and interviews. 'The True Story of Glory Continues'--narrated by Morgan Freeman and directed by legendary Star Wars sound-effects wizard Ben Burtt--is an excellent 45-minute historical overview of the 54th ...

City of Angels (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 11136
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Some critics complained that City of Angels could never compare to Wim Wenders's exquisite German film Wings of Desire, which served as the later film's primary inspiration. The better argument to make is that any such comparisons are beside the point, because Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood. Meg Ryan stars as Dr. Maggie Rice, a heart surgeon who is grieving over a lost patient when an angel named Seth ...

Primal Fear (Widescreen)
»rank: 8784
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Clever twists and a bona fide surprise ending make this an above-average courtroom thriller, tapping into the post-0.J. scrutiny of our legal system in the case of a hotshot Chicago defense attorney (Richard Gere) whose latest client is an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a Catholic archbishop. The film uses its own manipulation to tell a story about manipulation, and when we finally discover who's been pulling the strings, the payoff is both convincing and pertinent to the ongoing debate over what constitutes truth in ...
