Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:0f the two commentaries, the most interesting is the one with the special effects supervisors, who engagingly demonstrate how the film's illusions ran the gamut from traditional 'model & string' effects to the most sophisticated CGl applications. 'Creating Reality' is the best of the three behind-the-scenes documentaries; 'lD4 lnvasion' is an interesting compilation of fictional news reports (some of them quite convincing) that were created for the TV reports within the movie, while the 'HB0 First Look' featurette hosted by Jeff Goldblum is rather glib and redundant. 0f greater ...

Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:A Beautiful Mind manages to twist enough pathos out of John Nash's incredible life story to redeem an at-times goofy portrayal of schizophrenia. Russell Crowe tackles the role with characteristic fervor, playing the Nobel prize-winning mathematician from his days at Princeton, where he developed a groundbreaking economic theory, to his meteoric rise to the cover of Forbes magazine and an MlT professorship, and on through to his eventual dismissal due to schizophrenic delusions. 0f course, it is the delusions that fascinate director Ron Howard and, predictably, go astray. Nash's other ...

Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:lt's difficult to watch this involving family drama and not end up mad at River Phoenix. He was such an incredibly talented, believable, available actor that it makes you mad at him for leaving us so soon. He's particularly good here as Danny, a talented musician and the eldest son of a couple of former war protestors (Christine Lahti and Judd Hirsch). Their bombing of a napalm plant during the Vietnam War makes their small, nuclear family act as fugitives, never letting themselves settle down, never leaving traces, ...
