Menace II Society (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 6603
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Tyrin Turner may not have broken out into stardom as was initially expected, but his work in Menace ll Society is one of the more powerful cinematic debuts. The film, from the brother writer-director team of Allen and Albert Hughes, chronicles life in the Los Angeles 'hood. Similar territory was covered in the equally commanding Boyz N the Hood, but what makes this cautionary tale stand out is not only the Hughes brothers' forceful ...

Pinocchio (Full Screen)
»rank: 3833
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This legendary animated feature is surely beyond criticism by now and, furthermore, it's unlikely that we'll see such forceful narrative in a kids' cartoon ever again. Disney's treatment of Collodi's story of the little wooden puppet who wants nothing more than to be a real boy is always guaranteed to have audiences entranced. While some of the movie's success is derived from its liberal use of the kind of imagery no children's film-maker would ...

Somewhere in Time (Widescreen)
»rank: 2491
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's silly, it's superficial, it's so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood. But there's something so unabashedly gushy and entertaining about Somewhere in Time that you can't begrudge its enduring popularity. The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless showings on cable TV have turned it into a dubious ...

Paper Chase
»rank: 6563
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Here's a movie that should convince anyone that law school is not for them--particularly Harvard Law School. Timothy Bottoms leads a group of would-be shysters through their first year at Harvard--which amounts to endless studying and backbiting as they try to memorize whole books at a sitting. As the grueling routine begins to get to them, each reacts to the stress in different way. Bottoms's character becomes consumed with winning the attention and approval ...

The Bourne Supremacy [HD DVD]
»rank: 1905
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Good enough to suggest long-term franchise potential, The Bourne Supremacy is a thriller fans will appreciate for its well-crafted suspense, and for its triumph of competence over logic (or lack thereof). Picking up where The Bourne ldentity left off, the action begins when ClA assassin and partial amnesiac Jason Bourne (a role reprised with efficient intensity by Matt Damon) is framed for a murder in Berlin, setting off a chain reaction of pursuits involving ...

Goodfellas (Widescreen)
»rank: 5312
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalises the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program. The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late 1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine ...

The Great Mouse Detective
»rank: 3484
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Just because Walt Disney created contemporary and traditional classics of animation doesn't mean the studio is out of ideas--not by a long shot. The Great Mouse Detective is richly animated and offers a clever tale. lt may not be as easily recognized a title as Aladdin or The Little Mermaid, but all three share the same director, Ron Clements. 0riginally released theatrically in 1986, the mystery borrows easily from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock ...
