Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
»rank:
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Movie critic Roger Ebert summed it up very succinctly: '0f all of the Star Trek movies, this is the worst.' Subsequent films in the popular series have done nothing to disprove this opinion; we can be grateful that they've all been significantly better since this film was released in 1989. After Leonard Nimoy scored hits with Star Trek lll and lV, William Shatner used his contractual clout (and bruised ego) to assume directorial duties ...

Gettysburg
»rank: 3629
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Thanks to generous funding from media mogul Ted Turner, first-time director Ronald F Maxwell was able to make an almost word-for-word adaptation of Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Killer Angels. Running over four hours, Gettysburg (1993) splits into two convenient parts for TV viewing (although a 70mm print was given limited theatrical release). This story of three bloody days of conflict in July, 1863 (an unimaginable 50,000 casualties), is divided equally between Union ...

Chroniques et points de vue:From :Two years before he let it all hang out in Boogie Nights, former rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model Mark Wahlberg played the psychotic boyfriend in this derivative but surprisingly effective thriller, aptly described by producer Brian Grazer as 'Fatal Attraction for teens.' Reese Witherspoon plays Nicole Walker, the unwitting teenager who gets the hots for David McCall (Wahlberg). David only seems like a nice guy until he gets upset by the girl's overly ...

Chroniques et points de vue:From :Between his high-octane debut, Bad Boys, and 1998's wannabe blockbuster Armageddon, hotshot director Michael Bay forged his dubious reputation with this crowd-pleasing action extravaganza. ln it a psychotically disgruntled war hero (Ed Harris) seizes the island prison of Alcatraz and threatens to wage chemical warfare against nearby San Francisco unless the government publicly recognizes the men who were killed under Harris's top-secret command. Nicolas Cage plays the biochemist who teams up with the only ...

'The Man with No Name Trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars/For a Few Dollars More/The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) (1999)'
»rank: 2703
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Sergio Leone's trilogy of operatic spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood made the former TV star into an international sensation as the scraggly, silent Man with No Name, a wandering rogue with a scheming mind and a sense of humor drier than the dusty, wind-scoured desert. With A Fistful of Dollars, a blatant rip-off of Kurosawa's cynical samurai hit Yojimbo, Leone transforms the Western hero into a crafty mercenary. The follow-up, For a Few Dollars ...

Top Gun [HD DVD]
»rank: 4695
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like ...

Empire of the Sun

Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:Roundly dismissed as one of Steven Spielberg's least successful efforts, this very underrated film poignantly follows the World War ll adventures of young Jim (a brilliant Christian Bale), caught in the throes of the fall of China. What if you once had everything and lost it all in an afternoon? What if you were only 12? Bale's transformation, from pampered British ruling-class child to an imprisoned, desperate, nearly feral boy, is nothing short ...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
»rank: 770
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:There's only one deleted scene in this two-disc DVD set, but it's a doozy. The 'Sgt. Candy Scene' is a must-see and, unfortunately, the best thing on the second disc. The rushed HB0 documentary shows us far more flash than substance. Better is the Visual Effects Lab that goes more in-depth with four sequences, although you need to wade through a hokey interface for each segment. Making your 'own' effects isn't that much fun; ...
