A Few Good Men [Special Edition]
»rank: 9119
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:A U.S. soldier is dead, and military lawyers Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee and Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway want to know who killed him. 'You want the truth?' snaps Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson). 'You can't handle the truth!' Astonishingly, Jack Nicholson's legendary performance as a military tough guy in A Few Good Men really amounts to a glorified cameo: he's only in a few scenes. But they're killer scenes, and the film has much more to offer. Tom Cruise (Kaffee) shines as a lazy lawyer who rises to the occasion, ...

The Laramie Project (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 5866
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Even though The Laramie Project has been edited down from almost three hours (the original length of the play) to a lean 96 minutes, the harrowing nature of the subject matter--the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard--and the clarity of the voices of the inhabitants of Laramie, Wyoming, give this film a remarkable emotional power. The Laramie Project was created from over 200 interviews conducted with Laramie residents before, during, and after the trials of the two boys who killed Shepard; the interviews create an amazing cross-section of American views ...

The Mighty Ducks (Widescreen)
»rank: 5511
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Disney had an unexpected hit with this predictable comedy about a smug lawyer (Emilio Estevez) busted for drunk driving and ordered to coach a sad-sack team of hockey-playing kids as community service. The kids triumph over their sundry problems, and Estevez's character grows up a little. End of story. A perfectly harmless movie for kids and adults who are giving their brains a night off. --Tom Keogh

Ocean's Eleven (Widescreen) (2001)
»rank: 3080
Chroniques et points de vue: :0cean's Eleven improves on 1960's Rat Pack caper original with supernova casting, a slickly updated plot, and Steven Soderbergh's graceful touch behind the camera. Soderbergh reportedly relished the opportunity 'to make a movie that has no desire except to give pleasure from beginning to end,' and he succeeds on those terms, blessed by the casting of George Clooney as Danny 0cean, the title role originated by Frank Sinatra. Fresh out of jail, 0cean masterminds a plot to steal $163 million from the seemingly impervious vault of Las Vegas's Bellagio casino, ...

D2: The Mighty Ducks (Widescreen)
»rank: 10026
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This follow-up to the surprise Disney hit about a hockey team of misfits brings Emilio Estevez back to the role of the kids' yuppie coach. This time, Estevez assimilates his Ducks into the higher-stakes Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games, an opportunity that could bring fame and money. Entirely perfunctory, this sequel is basically an excuse to revisit the eccentricities of some of the younger characters, extend some of their conflicts into adolescence, and showcase their allegedly entertaining but ethically dubious abilities on the ice. Estevez is okay, ...

Gossip (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 7699
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Gossip is one of a spate of movies that owe a lot to Cruel lntentions. This time it's rich kids in college, but other than that Gossip stays well within the beautiful-young-people-doing-awful-things-to-each other formula. Lena Heady plays Jones, obviously the Smart Girl because she is briefly seen wearing glasses. Jones hangs out with Arty Guy Travis and Handsome Rich Guy Derrick, who finances their adventures and has a little bit of a lying habit. The three are all in the same journalism class (acidic monologist Eric Bogosian plays the ...

Sea Of Love

Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:After a career slump that plagued him through most of the 1980s, Al Pacino made a stellar comeback in this taut 1989 thriller, playing a weary New York police detective who falls in love with the woman (Ellen Barkin) who is the prime suspect in the murder case he's investigating. Expertly written by Richard Price and directed by Harold Becker, the story is designed to keep its central characters (and the viewer) in a state of constant suspicion and arousal--an emotional combination that sends dangerous sparks flying between Pacino ...
