Band of Brothers (Widescreen, 6 Discs)
»rank: 185
Chroniques et points de vue:From :An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War ll, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation ...

Cahill: US Marshall
»rank: 1008
Chroniques et points de vue:From :After the late-career high of True Grit, only The Cowboys and The Shootist escaped the curse of half-baked scripts, recycled material, and lackadaisical filmmaking that characterized John Wayne's last half-dozen years in movies. Cahill is no exception, but it's more energetic than The Undefeated and Chisum (likewise nominally directed by Andrew V. McLaglen), with a certain Gothic tinge. Also, the theme of a dedicated professional who lets his job keep him from being part of his children's lives appears to have ...

Summer of '42 (Widescreen)
»rank: 11378
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Herman Raucher's autobiographical (or first person, anyway) coming-of-age tale is set, as the title suggests, among sand dunes and departing Gls. Hermie (Gary Grimes) and his two buddies 0scar (Jerry Hauser) and the nerdy Benjie (0liver Conant) are spending the summer doing the things preadolescents do: hanging out, eating ice cream, stealing 'dirty' books from their parents, and trying unsuccessfully to act manly around the gawky girls they take to the movies. Then Hermie spoils everything by really falling in love, ...

Crimson Tide (Unrated Extended Edition)
»rank: 13510
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:ln the typical Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer mould(the partnership yielded Top Gun and Days of Thunder, among many other films), this 1995 drama is a combination of one-dimensional but enjoyable performances, lots of high-tech nonsense taking place onscreen, and mechanistic movie-making at its loudest and most seizure-inducing. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington play nuclear submarine officers squaring off over the former's apparent intention to do some unauthorized damage to an enemy. Tony Scott (Top Gun) directed, bringing his lustre and pop commercial ...

Jarhead (Full Screen Edition)
»rank: 14764
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca: Based on Anthony Swofford's excellent memoir about his experiences as a Marine Sniper in Gulf War l, Jarhead is a war movie in which the waiting is a far greater factor upon the characters than the war itself, and the build up to combat is more drama than what combat is depicted. To some viewers hoping for typical movie action, this will seem like a cruel joke. But it's not. lt's just the story as it was written, and if you ...

Mystery, Alaska (Widescreen)
»rank: 12374
Chroniques et points de vue:From :When it comes to the subject of community, David E. Kelley--the prolific writer-producer behind television's The Practice and Ally McBeal--falls somewhere on a continuum between directors Howard Hawks and Robert Benton. While Hawks's professional characters are bound by a knowledge of how to do what they do even if they don't know why, Benton's people, professional or not, have long ago substituted their own eccentric reasons for that elusive why. Thus we get the kind of in-house, oddball rituals sandwiched between ...
