Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete First Season
»rank: 5900
de: HBO Home Video
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Hi, l'm Ray and l live here in Long lsland with my wife, Debra.' Thus Ray (Ray Romano) introduces himself in the opening to each episode of his Emmy-winning comedy series. He proceeds to mention their children (Ally, Michael, and Geoffrey), then notes as an aside, 'lt's not really about the kids.' He's right--it isn't. They don't even appear in each episode. Everybody Loves Raymond looks like any other family sitcom, but isn't. Everything is ...

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (Widescreen)
»rank: 635
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This somewhat unpleasant 1992 sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone revisits the first film's gimmick by stranding Macaulay Culkin's character in New York City while his family ends up somewhere else. Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the ...

Pinocchio (Full Screen)
»rank: 8896
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 even ...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Widescreen)
»rank: 7919
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone: a comedy tonight!' Those words from the opening song pretty much describe the menu in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, a frantic adaptation of the stage musical by Larry Gelbart and Burt Shevelove. The wild story, set in ancient Rome, follows a slave named Pseudolus (Zero Mostel, snorting and gibbering) as he tries to extricate himself from an increasingly farcical situation; Mostel and ...

Dick Tracy (Widescreen)
»rank: 6090
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:A flawed but stylish adaptation of the Chester Gould comic strip by director Warren Beatty, who also stars in the title role. The minimalist plot involves a battalion of baddies who confront the intrepid detective in a series of strung-together vignettes. Al Pacino is a comedic if overblown standout as Big Boy Caprice and Madonna simply smoulders as aggressive blonde bombshell Breathless Mahoney. lt matters not that the plot is Spartan, as this dazzling eye ...
