An enjoyable action film, especially for a Kevin Costner fan, like me. Not the most original screenplay ever written (in fact, this movie can appropriately be characterized as two parts "An Officer and a Gentleman", two parts "Top Gun" and one part "The Perfect Storm"). However, the film is not overly cliched and Costner does a good job of powering the film along. Well worth the watch...

A fascinating docu-drama, which explores the well-founded theory that Europeans came to America thousands of years earlier than previously thought (and thousands of years earlier than the Indo-Chinese who came across the "land bridge" of the Bearing Strait and became the so-called "Native Americans").

Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood: A hilarious send-up of the "life in the hood" movies. Very funny and well worth the watch.

An excellent documentary on the life of Miles Davis, without a doubt one of the most influential and important figures in American music.

Stanley Tucci play gossip columnist and radio personality Walter Winchell in what was a very entertaining biopic. Also featuring Paul Giamatti as Winchell's sidekick and ghost writer.

Another excellent Adam Sandler film. Sandler plays a workaholic architect who happens upon a universal remote that is more powerful than most. After abusing the power of the universal remote, he's placed himself in a position where he can't help but see the price he's paying for giving up so much of his personal and family life for his career. Well worth the watch.

This dramatic biopic (somewhat loosely) tells the story of Nashville's own Betty Page, queen of the 50s pinup girls. Gretchen Mol is captivating as Betty Page, doing an outstanding job of capturing the essence of one of the most recognizable images of recorded history. A most enjoyable film.

An oldie but a goodie. What a cast--I'd completely forgotten. I haven't seen this movie in at least a decade and a half, and selected it on a whim. Not a bad movie for a gangster send-up! Worth a watch if you're into tongue-in-cheek comedy.

Perhaps the best Pixar movie yet! I simply cannot overstate how much I (and my kids) enjoyed this movie. A MUST SEE for the entire family.

What can I say? I grew up with the ORIGINAL theatrical release of these movies. I was 11 years old in the summer of 1977 when Star Wars was released. When I was in college I had a bootleg copy of all 3 movies on 1 VHS tape--the quality was horrible, being about a 5th generation tape-to-tape dub. When the first box set appeared on VHS, I bought it and still own it. And, I've bought every movie and box set that's come out since, including the Star Wars Trilogy DVD Box Set that contained the "enhanced" versions of these three movies--and they're fine--George Lucas can do whatever he wants with his movies--I don't have any problem with that. But I am a fan of the original theatrical releases, and it's nice to finally have them on widescreen DVD...
