Out of Africa (Widescreen)
»rank: 529
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:Sydney Pollack's approach to audio commentary for DVD editions of his films is different from that of most other directors. lnstead of detailing each scene of 0ut of Africa, for example, Pollack paints in broad strokes, talking about cinematic themes and in particular the translation of Karen Blixen's life in Africa from book to film.

GoldenEye (Widescreen)
»rank: 6196
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the first time in Goldeneye, the 17th entry in the series. Brosnan looks a little light on the big screen under any circumstances, and he does take some getting used to as 007. But this busy film keeps him hopping as freelance terrorists from the former Soviet Union get their hands on super-high-tech weapons. The film's challenge is to bring free-spirited Bond up to date in the age of AlDS and in the aftermath of the cold war: director Martin ...
