| 1. Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire | 
|
Starring: Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique
Directed By: Lee Daniels
March 09, 2010
This is actually difficult to explain, but "Precious" is a surpassingly fantastic movie.
It is also a difficult movie. I hated the first 1/2 hour - almost viscerally. This is a loser world; these are losers - LOSERS, and the "mom" - wow! She is the lowest ever. Almost everything about this whole world is breathtakingly bleak and repulsive and unfixable.
But this... more

| 5. The Matrix (10th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] |

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving
Directed By: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
March 31, 2009
Features:- MATRIX, THE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY BLU-RAY (BLU-RAY DISC)
The Matrix is basically the Star Wars of this generation, a science fiction movie so profound and visually appealing that even a decade later nothing else has come close (Avatar looked great, but even its fans agree that it had a fairly unoriginal story). It's telling of our society that it took 20 years for the Star Wars trilogy to be tarnished by its sequels, yet The Matrix sequels came only 4 years... more

| 6. Baraka [Blu-ray] |
|
Directed By: Ron Fricke
October 28, 2008
Features:- Shot in breathtaking 70mm in 24 countries on six continents, BARAKA is a transcendent global tour that explores the sights and sounds of the human condition like nothing you ve ever seen or felt before. These are the wonders of a world without words, viewed through man and nature s own prisms of symmetry, savagery, harmony and chaos. Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: MISCELLANEOUS Rating:&nb
To be brief, imagine living inside an issue of National Geographic. There is no narrative, nor does need it. In fact I would say narration would be a detriment. The visuals are amazing, unquestionably the most visually stunning film I've ever seen. That being said, I wouldn't recommend Baraka unless you have a decent High Def TV and surround sound system. ... more

May 15, 2007
Features:- A prominent banker unjustly convicted of murder spends many years in the Shawshank prison.

Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R Age: 053939273427 UPC: 053939273427 Manufacturer No: C2734
I believe this to be one of the finest movies ever made. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give highly nuanced performances in a script written for the ages. You find yourself with a better understanding of the community within prisons from years ago, how institutionalized people can be and also how terrifying freedom can be after so many years within the walls. ... more

System Requirements: Starring: Omar Epps, Debbi Morgan, Sanaa Lathan, Harry J. Lennix, and Alfre Woodard. Directed by Gi
It's a true statement that there are a lot of these kinds of love stories out there. This brand of movie is made almost every week, but there are few films that (for me at least) are able to transcend their own genre as well as `Love & Basketball'. Sure, there are avenues of this film that don't sit as well with me as others, but the bulk of this film is fantastic, and Sanaa Lathan's performance... more

March 02, 2010
As I have already stated in previous reviews, every one of the Veggie Tales DVDs are absolutely wonderful. My five year old loves them as well as all my other grandchildren. They all watch and enjoy the DVD's and I especially love the fact that these DVDs are far and away the best teaching tools I have found to teach the values I want my family to have: honesty, faithfulness, friendship, dependability... more
