'Six Days, Seven Nights (Widescreen)'
»rank: 8013
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The African Queen meets Swept Away in this sometimes labored romantic comedy by director lvan Reitman. Fortunately, he cast an old pro in Harrison Ford, as Quinn Harris, a South Seas charter pilot who must ferry New York fashion editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) from one island to another--a hop that falls flat when they fly into a mammoth storm that causes them to crash on a deserted island. The pair resent and resist each other, until they are forced to team up to escape from the island--and some ...

The Great Outdoors (Widescreen)
»rank: 2061
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This hit-and-miss 1988 comedy pairs John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in a story of one family's summer vacation all but ruined by the uninvited appearance of another, more loutish family. Howard Deutch (Some Kind of Wonderful) directs from a half-hearted John Hughes script, which reduces Hughes's jokes-and-epiphanies formula (The Breakfast Club, Home Alone) to true gaudiness. 0n the other hand, Annette Bening makes her screen debut here. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, trailer, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

'The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (Widescreen)'
»rank: 4655
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming looks overly cute now, but really, it was pretty hip for 1966. The cold war was in full deep-freeze when this well-meaning comedy tried to thaw things out a little: a Soviet submarine beaches on the New England coast, sending the locals into a paranoid frenzy. The chief pleasure of the film is Alan Arkin as the sub captain; this was Arkin's first major film role, and he had already mastered his exasperated, slow-burning frown (to say nothing of mastering his ...

The Searchers [Blu-ray]
»rank: 10681
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:A favorite film of some of the world's greatest filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, John Ford's The Searchers has earned its place in the legacy of great American films for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most notably, it's the definitive role for John Wayne as an icon of the classic Western--the hero (or antihero) who must stand alone according to the unwritten code of the West. The story takes place in Texas in 1868; Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, a Confederate veteran who visits his brother and ...

The Man Who Knew Too Little (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 7893
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0nly die-hard Bill Murray fans will likely consider this movie for their home-video library, but it's not without its rewards. You can see why someone as comically astute as Murray would agree to play a dimwitted American who can't tell the difference between improvised theater and a real-life espionage plot. There's certainly plenty of potential for belly laughs, and Murray milks the opportunities like the old pro that he is. Here he plays an American tourist in London who thinks he's been recruited into a street-theater act called 'Theater ...

The Hunger (1983)
»rank: 8971
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie are rich, beautiful, and oh-so chic as denizens of the night. Dressed in sleek outfits and stylish sunglasses, they haunt rock & roll clubs on the prowl for young blood, whom they bring home to their impossibly luxurious mansion for a late-night snack. Being a vampire never looked more sexy, but there's a price: Bowie starts to age so fast he wrinkles up in the waiting room of a doctor's (Susan Sarandon) office. The agelessly elegant Deneuve, evoking Delphine Seyrig's Countess Bathory from Daughters ...

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
»rank: 5367
Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique amazon.fr:Huitième réalisation de Jim Jarmusch, Ghost Dog possède le magnétisme hypnotique de son précédent film, Dead Man. En racontant les dernières heures d'un tueur black – incarné par un Forest Withaker jamais vu dans un tel état de grâce depuis Bird – poursuivi par ses anciens commanditaires mafieux, qui travaille et vit comme un samouraï, au corps lourd et massif mais filmé léger et aérien, ce film présenté au Festival de Cannes 1999 s'apparente à une variation jazzy-rap d'un bon vieux film noir. À l'image de son héros qui ...

Fort Apache
»rank: 2704
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:John Ford's 1948 classic stars John Wayne as a Cavalry officer used to doing things a certain way out West at Fort Apache. Along comes a rigid, new commanding officer (Henry Fonda) who insists that everything on his watch be done by the book, including dealings with local lndians. The results are mixed: greater discipline at the fort, but increased hostilities with the natives. Ford deliberately leaves judgments about the wisdom of these changes ambiguous, but he also allows plenty of room in this wonderful film for the ...

Chicago - The Razzle-Dazzle Edition
»rank: 2704
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bob Fosse's sexy cynicism still shines in Chicago, a faithful movie adaptation of the choreographer-director's 1975 Broadway musical. 0f course the story, all about merry murderesses and tabloid fame, is set in the Roaring '20s, but Chicago reeks of '70s disenchantment--this isn't just Fosse's material, it's his attitude, too. That's probably why the movie's breathless observations on fleeting fame and fickle public taste already seem dated. However, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens, and Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to belt ...
