John Q. (Infinifilm Edition)

Starring:Denzel Washington, James Woods
Studio: New Line Home Video
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
It's impossible to walk away from John Q. without thinking about the film that could have been. The pathetic state of health care in the U.S. and the desperate behavior it engenders is not only worthy but edgy material; no doubt director Nick Cassavetes (She's So Lovely) and Denzel Washington (as well as Robert Duvall, Ray Liotta, James Woods, and Anne Heche) were drawn to the provocative pitch. The only snag is that John Q. has about as much edge as an after-school special. Washington plays John Quincy Archibald, a hard-working factory worker whose house stands to be repossessed and whose lovely wife (Kimberly Elise) is at her wits' end. When his extremely cute son collapses while rounding the bases in a Little League game, things go from bad to worse. John Q. takes a downtown Chicago emergency room hostage when he learns that the heart transplant his son needs won't be performed because his health care doesn't cover it. The action-drama that ensues--replete with one-liners, stilted debate, inept snipers, and multiple references to O.J. Simpson's white Bronco--is so littered with clichés that the issues, timely ones, get lost in a crescendo of melodrama. --Fionn Meade
Description
Academy Award winner Denzel Washington stars in this powerful drama about a father who takes extreme measures to save his son's life when his insurance company refuses to cover his heart transplant surgery.

For years, animation buffs have waited impatiently for the Warner Bros. cartoons to appear on DVD. The Warner shorts never commanded the budgets and prestige of the Disney and MGM films, and won fewer Oscars than they deserved. But decades after the best ones were created, they remain the quintessential Hollywood cartoons: brash, fast-paced, aggressively funny and uniquely American. Virtually everyone in the U.S. under the age of 60 grew up on these films, in theaters and on TV. The 56 cartoons in the set (out of a studio output of over 1,000) were transferred from good prints--which means the viewer can see dust, scratches, and occasional mistakes by the cel painters. The films are all presented uncut, in defiance of the killjoys who have insisted on censoring alleged "violence" in the versions shown on television. Warner Bros. is obviously testing consumer response with this set. Although the erratic selection includes many classics, purists will argue (correctly) that it offers neither a fair representation of the directors' oeuvres, nor anything approaching a coherent history of the characters or studio style. (Nearly half the films were directed by Chuck Jones; only three are by Bob Clampett, and there's nothing by Tex Avery or Frank Tashlin.) But it seems petty to carp about omissions and biases when the discs offer excellent, uncensored prints of some of the funniest films ever made in the U.S.--or anywhere else. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Description

They're the crown princes of animation. They're the international ambassadors of cartoon comedy. They're the fabulously funny friends you grew up with! And now, 56 of the very best animated shorts starring the very wackiest Warner Bros. cartoon characters have been rounded up on DVD for the first time ever in The Looney Tunes Golden Collection! Just barely contained in four special edition discs, each specially selected short has been brilliantly restored and re-mastered to its original, uncut, anvil-dropping, laughter-inducing glory!

Sparkling with one unforgettable, landmark animated marvel after another, there's that icon of carrot-crunching aplomb, Bugs Bunny, in a dazzling assortment of his very best classic shorts. Also highlighted in their own delightfully zany series of cartoon gems: the ever-flustered Daffy Duck and eternal straight-man Porky Pig. Plus, all the rest of the beloved Looney Tunes lineup starring in some of the most wildly imaginative cartoon shorts ever created! Including an array of exclusive bonus DVD features from expert commentaries to insights into the evolution of these classic characters, this is the ultimate animated experience for anyone who's ever thrilled to the timeless query: "Ehhh? what's up, Doc?"

Whoopy Goldberg?.......2007-06-13

I love these old cartoons but as I popped my DVD in Whoopy Goldber shows up on my screen talking about how evil and racist these cartoons are. And how they weren't altered so we can see how evil they are.
Political correctness has become a mass cult that has saturated our lives and is completely absured.
I'd easily give these DVDs 10 stars but having to associate Whoopy Goldberg with my most beloved cartoons is a major turn off. What happened, was Al Sharpton too busy?
What's next, Tom and Jerry with an introduction by Rosie Perez?
Isn't enough that "these people" are destroying our country, must they destroy our memories too?

Buy It "For the Kids," Watch It For Yourself.......2007-06-05

One of the many great things about Looney Tunes, of course, is that they're usually even funnier to adults than to kids. Unlike most cartoons today, these were made with intelligence, relentless humor, and an assumption that you, the viewer, also had a brain. Of course, they bring back fun and carefree childhood memories, too. Memories you would be smart to pass on to your own kids.

Kids aside, though, if you need an excuse to buy Bugs Bunny, here it is at it's best. The other collections are great, too, of course, but this is where it all started, so they're fun to watch not only for the cartoons themselves, but also to see many of the core characters, catch phrases, and storylines in their infancy. If you start at the earliest ones in the set and just keep watching, you'll see Bugs, Daffy, Elmer Fudd, the other "stars," and even many of the recurring secondary characters develop and evolve.

It's simple - get this set today. You'll love it.

Amazon.com

Louis L'Amour's easy voice with its gentle rhythm sets the tone and pace of the film in a spoken introduction to this loping, rambling three-hour-plus TV-movie adaptation of his novels The Daybreakers and Sackett. Sam Elliot stars as the elder Sackett, a nomad hunting and trapping in the mountains who happens upon an ancient treasure. Tom Selleck and Jeff Osterhage are his younger siblings, forced to leave home to avoid a Hatfield and McCoy situation. As the Sackett brothers wind their way across the Midwest prairies and mountains we join them on cattle drives and gold hunts, in gunfights and fistfights, and in a climactic showdown as they find their place in the world. This 1979 film rambles and meanders like a lazy river winding through a beautiful landscape of peaks and plains and forests, punctuated by the occasional gunfight and enlivened by a story that celebrates both the open range and the taming of the towns. Elliot looks almost young but flashes his savage eyes behind a thick black beard, while Selleck's easygoing manner is backed up with a stony-faced determination. The excellent cast includes a veritable who's who of Western character actors: Glenn Ford, Ben Johnson, Gilbert Roland, Gene Evans, Jack Elam, Slim Pickens, L.Q. Jones, Mercedes McCambridge, and Pat Buttram. Followed in 1982 by The Shadow Riders, which reunited the three stars and even a few members of the supporting cast in a tale of three different brothers. --Sean Axmaker

Description

Louis L'Amour's epic Western saga of brothers who blazed a name across the untamed post-Civil War New Mexico frontier.

This was not the complete series. Editing left a major hole in the story line. I would strongly suggest getting the full length version.

Brother Protects Brother!.......2007-05-30

This movie is so great because you would think that these men are really brothers! It has a family oriented theme. Each brother goes their separate way to do what they want. But through the trials of life they end up back together each one protecting the other. It shows that family is very important!

The Sacketts.......2007-05-07

Good Western with good actors and enjoyable storyline. If you like Westerns then this is one to have in your library!

The Sacketts DVD.......2007-03-09

I read all 16 of the Louie LaMour Sackett books. I am not a western reader. My brother-inlaw got me started and couldn't get enough so decided to see the DVD which the action is slower than the books, but, was very close to the story. They had Mr. LaMour speak about the movie. He was there during the making of the movie and wanted it to be like it was during that time period. Please read his series of Sacketts before viewing the DVD. aLSO, READ HIS BIOGRAPHY. He was a very speacial man. He died shortly after finishing the biography.

Western Movies.......2007-03-09

Probably the best portrayal of Louis L'Amour's Sackett series. Although more than one book was used, it all ties together. Casting was excellent. I would highly recommend this DVD for all L'Amour and/or Sackett fans.

Robert Altman and Garrison Keillor combine reality and fantasy in this smooth, ebullient take on the long-running Prairie Home Companion radio show. Set during the show's fictitious last broadcast--the host station has been bought--the film has plenty of elements from the real PHC radiocasts, including a live audience and the sensational Shoe band. The onstage program is mostly music numbers, a beguiling mix of standards and old-style country. However, the show's usual comedy sketches are never presented, save for the commercial parodies--this may be a PHC show, but Lake Wobegone is never mentioned. Instead, the sketches are played out as backstage banter that feautres the Johnson Sisters (Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin), a harried stage hand (Maya Rudolph), a former listener turned angel (Virginia Madsen), and Keillor himself (a crusty alter-ego named simply G.K.). A few characters from the real PHC are given life: the singing cowboys Dusty and Lefty and gumshoe Guy Noir are embodied by Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, and Kevin Kline, respectively. Old flames are fanned, stories are spun, new talents are found (Lindsay Lohan has a chance to shine as Streep's daughter) and everyone wonders if G.K. will do something to ebb the tide of cancellation (personified by Tommy Lee Jones as the corporate Axeman). All of the actors do right as singers, and seem to be having the time of their life. Keillor's screenplay is perfect fodder for Altman's usual brand of storytelling, as characters babble on with the camera picking them up often in mid-thought. The film appeared a few months after Altman received an honorary Oscar, and the director is still at the top of his game, creating this smile-inducing, song-filled time, ending with an ethereal last musical number. --Doug Thomas

A Prairie Home Companion.......2007-07-04

If you except to find the dumb comedy that's on TV today, you will not enjoy this movie. Otherwise it is very funny and entertaining.

If only negative stars were possible.......2007-07-01

This movie is horrible. It's like sitting with your elderly relatives who talk of nothing but the way things used to be, except the reminiscences in the movie hold none of the value that your relatives' stories carry. Layered on top of the endless "remember whens?" is mediocre singing performances and Virginia Madsen wandering around the set like she's got amnesia. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone.

Great Movie if You Like PHC, Folksy Things, or Minnesota.......2007-06-30

Robert Altman, Merryl Streep, Garrison Keillor, Lilly Tomlyn . . . Great cast and crew. True to the spirit of the radio show, with a clear Minnesotan spin on reality.
(Look for me in the shadows when Kevin Kline first enters the theater!)

Elegy for the variety show.......2007-06-18

Many more people are fans of Garrison Keillor's NPR radio hit, "A Prairie Home Companion" than who can describe it succinctly. "PHC" is a show from a bygone era, where talented writers, comedians, and musicians put on a completely original two-hour show each week. Sure, there are some stock characters and common refrains, and the subject matter may be dated (old timey music features prominently, and the show is set in low-tech, changeless Minnesota), but each show is completely unique within those parameters. All in all, "PHC" is a time capsule showing what was good, decent, and just a wee bit naughty in Americana.

Robert Altman's movie, "A Prairie Home Companion," is an elegy for that beloved TV show. In a rather unbelievable set-up, a nasty Texas corporation (of course) has bought the beloved Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul and will tear down the lovely place to put up a parking lot. And so this show that has been a home for its fans and its cast for over 30 years must say goodbye. Altman then films the last episode, cutting away to the priceless behind-the-scenes moments when you see how these performers are a true family, and everyone's natural reaction is that "PHC" is a national treasure to be saved. Anyone who wants to tear down this beloved institution needs a comeuppance.

Garrison Keillor plays himself, as "GK," and he is ably assisted by a world-class cast of Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Klein, John C. Reilly, Woody Harrelson, and many others. Fans of the real-life show may be a bit surprised that Keillor's regular "PHC" cast doesn't get much time to shine, but that's the way of things. Streep and Tomlin nearly steal the show as the singing Johnson sisters - who knew they could carry these tunes? Reilly and Harrelson are excellent personifications of Keillor's recurring cowboy characters, Lefty and Dusty, and their litany of bad jokes near the end of the show is priceless.

Kevin Klein is a bit fuzzy as Guy Noir, Private Eye. He's more buffoonish than his character on "PHC," but Klein pulls it off. When describing the Dangerous Woman (Virginia Madsen, an angel), Noir waxes poetic, "She wore a Mt. Rushmore T-shirt, and those old guys never looked so good." And Tommy Lee Jones represents the dastardly investors who want to destroy the show.

Shot in luscious tones and with all of Altman's visual artistry, "PHC" is quite simply a beautiful film. Slow and stately, to be sure, with many ruminations on passing and death, it is not always a bright and cheerful movie. But it is a loving one, and it is fitting that this was Altman's last film - he uses "PHC" to remind us to not spend too much time looking back or looking ahea, because there are some pretty darn good things with us in the present.

Dull.......2007-05-23

WTF??? Look, I listen to A Prairie Home Companion from time to time and I absolutely love Garrison's Lake Woebegone stories. But I don't know what the heck this is. Sure, I recognized all the characters. Guy Noir and Lefty and Dusty and blah, blah. But where is the plot? Okay, there's a thin one about the show being cancelled and all, but couldn't Garrison made this a little more compelling? People talking to angels like it's the most natural thing on earth. People dying and no one acting like they really cared. Oh, yeah they will go sing veiled songs, but really, I was bored to death. This movie was a huge disappointment for me.

Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. (It's modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi's true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein's wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese's earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it's still absorbing. And, hey--it's Scorsese! --Jim Emerson

I ENJOYED THIS FILM. IT WAS ENTERTAINING FROM START TO FINISH. GREAT CAST,GREAT STORY,AND TRULY A CLASSIC.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM,A MUST SEE!!!

this one is a sure bet.......2007-05-12

this is the movie martin scorsese SHOULDA won his oscar for. instead it was deemed upon its release an inferior copycat of "goodfellas", what with the same director, writer, and stars, and a similar set of circumstances. this though is a quite different movie, and (imho) a superior one. while "goodfellas" is set among a highly parochial little group, the gangsters are only a part of the scene in "casino": its much more widespread a saga of greed and the corruption of stupidity. whereas joe pesci is a cartoon in the earlier film, here he is a fully fleshed out character. de niro (more a glorified supporting character in "goodfellas") offers an insightful reading of an ordinary man with one phenomenal talent (the ability to set the correct odds) who parlays it into a position of power for which he knows he is unqualified, yet enjoys the ride. and sharon stone gives the performance of her career as de niros unfaithful drug-addicted wife. excellent supporting work also from james woods, don rickles, and a host of unknowns cast as aged mob bosses, &c. not to mention a great job of art & costume direction, brilliant soundtrack, the amazing opening titles sequence, and so on. it might not be scorses most underrated movie (thats still the hated but brilliant "king of comedy") -- but it might well be his very best.

LOVE IT!.......2007-04-11

i looooooove this movie. Bob DeNiro is SO good in it. and Joe Pesci too. and of course especially Sharon Stone. wow, didn't realize she could act until i saw this. amazing acting. even down to the extras its good acting. it feels so real. and this movie has my all time fave scene; when Sam sees Ginger for the first time, and Mickey and Sylvia's "Love is strange" song comes on, and Gin makes a scene, throwing chips, and Sam, who can obviously stop and throw her out doesn't, but just stares mesmerized at her. and she know she's got him. she leaves looking at him and laughing. that scene is SO SEXY. this movie also has some good, old time songs. Scorcese really took his time to make this. but major WARNING: seriously, it's NOT FOR KIDS. even i can't watch manyo its scenes they are so realistic and gruesome. that's the only thing that i don't like about it, that it's violence makes it unwatchable some times. but isn't that still good b/c it shows what great acting it is?! if u don't watch this u haven't watched a real movie. one of the bset movies ever made!

Gambling in the desert.......2007-04-02

Great performances by all-star cast. Martin Scorsese shows why he's the best action director in the business. Diniro, Sharon Stone and James Woods are the imperfect love triangle. And Pesci is Pesci. Must see mob movie.

an awful and exagerrated pastiche from Scorsese's better films.......2007-03-15

I was shocked at the crudeness of this film: it is like Scorsese took the best moments from a number of his films and strung them together to make a thriller about some horrible thugs: a guy gets his head put into a vice for cheating, Sharon Stone is too beautiful to fit in, Pesci gets it in a car, etc. It just didn't hang together, the story felt flat, and there was little smoothness to the narrative flow. This is Scorsese's worst by far.

What a film.......2007-07-02

The downfall of this empire is a beauty to watch. This film is actually terrifying in its realistic portrayal of how the greatest of things can crumble to mere...crumbs. This film is a powerhouse, a knockout, it is phenomenal in its storytelling, acting (which is too realistic), direction (Martin, baby) and poignant ability to make you believe that this can happen to anyone.

Great Movie.......2007-06-25

Casino is a underdog for sure, it did get some awards and whatnot but it did not do as well in the public eye as say Goodfellas. But enough of that, the movie was well written and Sharon Stone was phenomenal in this true story about a real casino boss Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, play as Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro). It was Flimed in Las Vegas in front of the (now tore down)Landmark Hotel and flimed in the Riviera. The Flim was based on the Stardust Casino & Hotel(also now tore down). Some great acting all around with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Alan King, and Don Rickles. Not the best, it's almost as good as Goodfellas but still a 5-Star Classic. (Sorry about Grammar!)

Great but flawed.......2007-06-20

If Scorcese hadn't already done 'Goodfellas' this would probably be a 5 star film, but Goodfellas came first and this second. Still its a dam good movie but flawed. At 178 minutes its way too long and whilst I like the over-dubbed narration that Scorcese uses in some films, there's too much in this one, especially at the start.

OK enough gripes, Joe Pesci is terrifying again, DeNiro is excellent and best of all Sharon Stone gives a fabulous performance and was deservedly nominated for best actress in the 1996 Academy awards. Naturally this being a Scorcese picture there are some classic moments, and some of them are extremely unpleasant.

If you haven't seen Goodfellas you'll probably love this. If you have then you'll see that it is the work of a master filmmaker, but its not quite up to the same standard as his earlier masterpiece.

excellent movie, and quality.......2007-05-12

Like the previous entries in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, volume 3 confirms how brilliant the Warner Bros. artists were and how durable their creations have proven. The set includes classics that every cartoon buff will recognize: "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!," "Robin Hood Daffy," "Birds Anonymous." Other selections are less familiar but significant in the development of the studio: "Sinkin' in the Bathtub," the first Looney Tune; "I Haven't Got a Hat," the earliest Warners cartoon viewers can watch for fun, rather than as an historic curiosity; "Porky's Romance," in which director Frank Tashlin introduced rapid cutting to cartoons. Some of the caricature films have aged less gracefully. Younger audiences will recognize the drawn versions of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Katharine Hepburn, and Charlie Chaplin. But will anyone under the age of 60 remember Edna Mae Oliver, George Arliss, or Ned Sparks?

The producers have once again loaded the discs with supplemental material, including "Point Food Rationing," a unseen short explaining wartime ration books; a BBC documentary on Chuck Jones; and interstitial animated sequences for The Bugs Bunny Show. "Philbert" ranks as the oddest of the extras: an unsold (and leaden) pilot from 1963, featuring live actors and an animated title character. Whoopi Goldberg introduces the set, explaining that some of the ethnic gags would no longer be considered appropriate. But she correctly adds that to remove them would falsify both the history of animation and American popular culture. It all adds up to a set every cartoon fan will want. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Some great cartoons are lost amidst silly early ones and middling spoofs of old-time Hollywood, most so dated that I'm sure half the references go over modern audience's heads. (I mean, how many people under the age of 60 know who Edna May Oliver was?) Too many times my reaction to a short was "That was cute" instead of "That was great." And some of them are, particularly the ones starring Bugs. In a perfect world, Warner Brothers would have come out with 4 disc collections that focus on a single character. Of course, it knows damn well that it would never sell a Speedy Gonzales Collection; so instead the company squeezes him into these Golden Collections whenever they can, which only devalues them as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, at these prices, one has to think too hard about buying a set that one will only half-enjoy.

Wow..........2007-03-10

I remember seeing many of these cartoons as a child and wondered why I never saw many of them again. This set does indeed include some cartoons with innappropriate racial or sexual references that children may not understand but don't need to learn. However, for the mature Looney Tunes fan, this is a great set of early cartoons that display the creativity of the Warner Bros. studio in the 1930s-1950s. Some of them are classic cartoons released during World War II and some cartoons that were only intended for servicemen (definitely not for children!). A great set for serious Looney Tunes fans!

Hoping for More .......2007-02-07

Okay, so I'm a huge Looney Tunes fan and I often reminiesce about watching cartoons on Saturday morning, particularly Looney Tunes. The "Hilly Billy Hare" is my favorite Bug Bunny short as well as others in this selection.

Volume three had lots of Porky Pig and Elmer Fudds but no Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, or Daffy Duck. This was my only disappointment. I was hoping that it would include all of the most popular characters. I guess my biggest gripe would be that I wanted to see the most popular cartoons in this selection, but to be honest there were only a few that were.

I like Looney Tunes Volume 3, but it does leave a lot to be desired. If you are a fan though, you should still purchase this selection.

The Hulk at its best!.......2007-05-15

While season one of The Incredible Hulk was rushed by CBS and at times stumbled in trying to find its groove, season two establishes a formula that remains constant for the duration of season two's 22 episodes.
Gone are the days of Banner getting his butt kicked, or being tied up and thrown into a pit, or combine, or wrestling cage. Instead, Banner's life is threatened maybe once or twice this season, and the majority of these episodes deal with Banner helping someone in peril: a woman with a debilitaing illness (Married), an alcoholic (Alice in Disco Land), and a derranged writer (No Escape).

While most of the episodes end with The Hulk exacting revenge on several of his tormentors, "A Child In Need" focuses on one individual whom The Hulk teaches quite a lesson. An episode leftover from season one, "A Child in Need" was almost not aired by CBS at the time due to its rather sensitive content (child abuse). In the end, The Hulk gives the episode's antagonist a taste of his own medicine. No multiple bad guys, no police, just The Hulk and his adversary mono y mono. The end result is perhaps the most powerful scene in the entire five year run of the show that still strikes an emotional cord 30 years later.

The only real less than stellar episodes for the season are "Wildfire," "A Solitary Place," and the season finale "Vendetta Road." By the end of this season, The Hulk's TV popularity was unquestionable. Although there are some exceptional episodes from seasons three and four, this was as good as The Hulk would get as far as overall season quality goes. For the 1979-80 season, the writers began to tinker with the formula, and the results were sometimes less than spectacular.

The complete second season is awesome, can't wait for the third!!!!.......2007-04-30

I loved watching the Incredible Hulk when I was a kid, and it is awesome that the complete seasons are now being made available. It was worth the wait, and I hope that future seasons will be released sooner.

hulk fan .......2007-04-26

Second Season is argubly the strongest. The episodes deal with social issues such as terminal illness, mental illness, alcohol, child abuse, and race. Some of best episodes from season two are A Child In Need, Alice In Discoland, Killer Instinct, The Haunted, Married and Mystery Man.
I look forward to the release of this in July.

A GI (Gene Kelly) stays in Paris after the war to become an artist, and has to choose between the patronage of a rich American woman (Nina Foch) and a French gamine (Leslie Caron) engaged to an older man. The plot is mostly an excuse for director Vincente Minnelli to pool his own extraordinary talent with those of choreographer-dancer-actor Kelly and the artists behind the screenplay, art direction, cinematography, and score, creating a rapturous musical not quite like anything else in cinema. The final section of the film comprises a 17-minute dance sequence that took a month to film and is breathtaking. Songs include "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," and "Love Is Here to Stay." --Tom Keogh

Not as good as "Singin' in the Rain".......2007-05-25

Okay, I know I'm in the minority and this is supposed to be an amazing classic musical that everyone loves, but it didn't really grab me. Here's my situation: my daughter takes tap-dancing lessons and loves them, so I picked up "Singin' in the Rain" on DVD because I thought she might enjoy it. Well, both of us LOVED that movie! Entertaining, funny story, colorful memorable characters, and absolutely breathtaking tap dance numbers.

Since we loved "Singin' in the Rain," I ordered a ton of other Gene Kelly musicals. The first one we watched was "An American in Paris," and honestly, we were disappointed. The story wasn't nearly as good, the characters weren't as likable. Yeah, there's the big ballet in the end, but I'm not into ballet and I don't like overlong numbers like that (in "Singin' in the Rain," I wasn't into "Broadway Melody" either). There are a couple of tap dance numbers in this that were mildly entertaining (Kelly dancing in a funny way to entertain the French kids was cute), but nothing as exuberant and jaw-droppingly amazing as "Moses Supposes" or Donald O'Connor's "Make 'em Laugh", both of which I could watch endlessly.

So speaking totally as a layman who knows nothing about musicals, I can say that personally, I adored "Singin' in the Rain," but didn't enjoy "An American in Paris" nearly as much. (Next up we're going to check out "On the Town," "Les Girls," "Summer Stock" and "Brigadoon.")

Great George Gershwin so so Kelly.......2007-04-02

Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly) ex-GI stays in Paris to practice painting. There he is patronized by a jealous Milo Roberts (Nina Foch). Mean time he is trying to make time with a store clerk that is more than she appears to be (Leslie Caron).

Not one of Kelly's best but passable. However even at his best one has to have a taste for that sort of thing. He is sort of a Danny Kay type. His high-water pants are his signature and really looks out of place. He can not sing worth beans. However he did do a good job in "What a Way to Go."

Even though this film is not a notable movie it was directed by Vincente Minnelli (1903-1986.) He directed some great movies and some that you would never suspect such as "The Long Long Trailer."

s'mahvelous.......2007-01-16

I've been watching this movie since I was a little, and couldn't find it anywhere! Gene Kelly is once again wonderful, and his smile still gets me. Leslie Caron aparently made her debut in this and her delicate, beautiful dancing is a joy to watch. This movie does try to be a little more daring and modern in certain scenes than your average musical, but all in all it's great.

All Show.......2007-01-03

This movie looks great and that is about it. Not a lot of plot, acting, etc. just a lot of color, costumes and dancing.

A display of breathtaking colors dizzyingly romantic..........2006-12-17

Vincente Minnelli directed some of the most celebrated entertainments in cinema history... He was among the first Hollywood directors to show that a profound love of color, motion and music might produce intelligent entertainment... His 'American in Paris' is a display of breathtaking colors dizzyingly romantic...

'American in Paris' is the story of an ex-GI who remains in France after the war to study and paint... He falls in love with a graceful dancer... Their romantic love affair sparkles as brightly as the City of lights itself... The whole movie brings a touch of French elegance where technique, artistic style and music all come together in perfect synchronism...

The first musical sequence introduces the exciting personality of Leslie Caron in her screen debut... She is like a diamond, a touch of class... George Guetary describes his fiancée ambiguous grace in a montage of different dance styles, sweet and shy, vivacious and modern, graceful and awesome... The number leads to an unpretentious bistro, where Kelly and his very good friends in Paris share a gentle parody of Viennese waltzes... Later Kelly celebrates a popular tap dancing with a crowd of enthusiastic children singing with him 'I Got Rhythm,' and at the massive jazz nightclub Kelly spots the girl of his dreams... He is instantly hit by her sparkling sapphire blue eyes, and only one clear thing is in his mind, to pull Lize onto the dance floor and sing to her: "It's very clear, Our love is here to stay."

To the joyful 'Tra-La-La,' Kelly provides humor, wit and talent all around Oscar Levant's room ,and even on the top of his brown piano...

When he meets his pretty Cinderella along the Seine river, Kelly is swept away by his happy meeting with Caron... He expresses all his emotions with 'Our Love Is Here to Stay.' The piece had a definite nighttime feel as the two lovers were bathed in soft, blue smoky light... They start an enchanting dance-duet juxtaposing differing elements... Caron dances with her head on his shoulder, then tries to run away in a fluid way... They move backward, away from each other, then pause to rush toward each other, for a little kiss, and a warm hug...

The film's weakest numbers were those that bear little relation to the story... In one, Georges Guetary performs an entertaining stage show with showgirls in giant ornaments floating down to the stage... In another, Oscar Levant imagines himself conducting a concert, and playing not only a piano recital, but the other instruments as well... He even applauds to himself as members of the audience...

The extravagant climactic super ballet of the film is quite an adventure, a breakthrough in taste, direction and design... It is a blaze of love, fury and vividness... It is Kelly's major fantasy of his lost love and of his feeling about Paris as viewed through the huge backdrops of some of France's most Impressionist painters...

The number starts at the Beaux Arts Ball after Kelly finds himself separated from Lise, and begins a sketch with a black crayon... It gathers the important parts of the film's story through a constantly changing locations, all in the style of the painters who have influenced Jerry... The tour, richly attractive and superbly atmospheric, includes the Place De la Concorde Fountain, the Madeleine flower market, the Place De l'Opéra, to his Rendez-Vous at Montmartre, with the cancan dancers in a representation of Lautrec's Moulin Rouge...

Kelly seems to defy the boundaries of his physical self... Caron seems to dominate her space and sweeps you away to another time and place...

Nina Foch appeared very attractive and elegant in her one-shouldered white gown... In one of the film's most famous lines, Kelly asks her: 'That's quite a dress you almost have on. What holds it up?" Nina, cleverly replies, "modesty!"

'An American in Paris' garnered six Oscars, including an honorary award to Gene Kelly... The film gave us a wealth of memories to take home...

This movie actually made me mad.......2007-06-24

I went into this movie not expecting anything deep or meaningful, how could you with that soft-core DVD cover? What I was hoping for were some cheap thrills in seeing guys naked and maybe some laughs. The movie is not well written, acted or filmed. As I said, I wasn't expecting much so all that I could forgiven. What I can't forgive is the depiction of the main female character, Gwen. It seems that everyone (the actress, writers, director) was doing their best to make Gwen into the most unlikable, detestable character in the world. They might have been going for a character that was "quirky" and "honest" and "fun." Instead we got a girl that came off as nothing less than rude, tacky, horny and dumb.

Of course the worst part was that every other character was so willing to put up with her crap. I kept wondering, "Why does Caleb want this girl? Dude, you're not the best actor, but you can do better." But EVERYONE in this movie seemed to love her. The biggest offence happened most of the way through the movie, Gwen betrays another character in the most reprehensable way. And when they find out about it at the end of the movie...it's shrugged off two seconds later as an "Oh well" type moment. I got up and screamed at my TV then. These guys all needed to get some balls b/c Gwen obviously had them all in her purse.

In the end, I was just confused about what I supposed to be routing for in this movie. Was I supposed to route for Caleb to give into his possible gay urges and go all the way with Marc? Was I supposed to want this ruse to work and for Gwen and Caleb to get together? Or was I supposed to want Kyle (Jim Veraros in the only decently acted role) to find love somehow? In the end, the only thing I was hoping for was for Gwen to fall into a ditch and die.

This type of dumb movie isn't really worth this much thought. But I don't think I have ever been angered so much by one character in a movie. Of course, everyone else in the movie kept talking about how awesome she was so they're idiots,too. The fact that she's in the sequel just makes me want to steer clear.

Shut up, Gwen.

"Eating Out"

The Original

Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

Now that "Sloppy Seconds: Eating Out II" is out, I thought it would be a good idea to go back and look at the movie that brought about a sequel.
"Eating Out" (Ariztical Entertainment) is cheesy but very funny and enjoyable. It is upbeat and had me laughing and that is good. The dialog is smart; the film is well cast and well acted.
Caleb is not a happy man. He constantly strikes out with girls so he decides to take a tip from his gay roommate and pretends to be gay because, as we all know, don't we, that girls love gay men. After all, it is easier for a gay man to score with a woman than a straight man. When Caleb is suddenly outed, he becomes the object of a sex hunt by gay men and fag hags (I hate that term but it fits). What follows is ridiculous situation after ridiculous situation. Ultimately Caleb is outed to his parents at a diner party but as the whole thing begins to overwhelm, there is resolution and a happy ending.
The two leads are very good looking and hot men but the reviews for this film have not been kind. Maybe a light, fluffy movie is not to be considered worthy of a good review. It reminded me a bit of the teen comedies of the 60's and 70's (yes I can remember them) but with a gay twist--boy-wants-girl-who-wants-boy-who-wants boy.
There is a phone sex scene that has received a lot of hyped and indeed does make the audience squirm. Even though it is a bit long, it is very sexy." Eating Out" is one of those films that look good with young hunky actors who look good on camera and give decent performances. The film takes place basically indoors so there is not a lot of external photography.
I suppose if I have to pick fault with the film. It is with some of the inane dialog. There is a lot of slang used and it is annoying and with coming out of some of the mouths of the good looking characters, it makes the cast look a bit superficial. There are also some really bad jokes and one-liners, one about HIV that is somewhat appalling.
With that said, I, by and large, enjoyed the film but I will add that I do think it could have been much, much better.

Few redeeming factors.......2007-01-14

There are funny moments. There are dull moments. There are bad moments. There are far to many bad moments. Overall this movie is really bad, but I can't say that it's not acted well. I enjoyed the acting, but the writing was terrible. My partner and I decided to give it a try, and were both so sorry we had. I busied myself doing some housework while it played out. The best part(s!): Ryan naked.
(Un?)Fortunately, there's a sequel that he's not a part of.

freaky. kinky. and weird........2007-01-04

It is very obvious, as soon as you start watching this movie, that this is a low-budget kind. Yet, despite its cheap quality, it's somewhat funny and plain weird. Just be in the mood to watch something zany before you pop in this DVD.

First of all, this movie carries the message that gay men are often surrounded by women. Not only that but that gay men and women friends share affection, which can lead to sex. O.....k!

So, the movie opens with Caleb and his girlfriend Tiffani. At first, it looks like they must be acting for a porn film. Actually, they were just role-playing. Tiffani isn't impressed with Caleb and dumps him.

Dejected, Caleb goes home to his gay roommate, Kyle (Jim Verranos). (What ever possess Jim to do this film?) From Kyle, Caleb is led to believe that sex sometimes happens between gay men and their women friends. So, Caleb decides to declare himself gay so he can land himself a woman.

Next to enter the picture are Gwen and Marc. Gwen and her gay roommate, Marc, are hosting a party at their apartment. Gwen has just been dumped by her obviously gay boyfriend after coming out to her. Kyle likes Marc but feels he's out of the league for Marc to notice him. Caleb sees Gwen and immediately desires her.

A perfect opportunity opens up for Marc, Gwen, Caleb and Kyle to meet and introduce each other. Kyle and Caleb agree Caleb will create an opportunity for Marc to notice Kyle. Kyle, on the other hand, will try to connect Caleb to Gwen.

Immediately, a date is set up for Marc and Caleb. When the day comes, Caleb heads over to Marc's place. While Marc is getting ready, Gwen checks him out and discovers he's a gay virgin which just turns Gwen on.

After the date is over, they go back to Marc's place. Gwen is somewhere else. Marc wants to jump into bed ith Caleb but without any pressure. Nothing is happening. Gwen calls and discovers that the date is platonic. She speaks to Caleb and initiates phone sex. Meanwhile, Marc takes advantage and works on him.

Kyle discovers what happens afterwards and is disappointed in Caleb. Caleb decides to solve this whole mess by inviting Gwen and Marc over for dinner. Kyle makes it worse by inviting Caleb's parents over. Everything just goes wrong.

When the night is over, the truth comes out among the four of them. All I can say is that it's a happy ending for all of them.

*Eating Out* is cheesy funny, weird and oddly kinky. If you like zany films, then go ahead and watch this low-budget movie. Just don't expect to be impressed.

It's impossible to walk away from John Q. without thinking about the film that could have been. The pathetic state of health care in the U.S. and the desperate behavior it engenders is not only worthy but edgy material; no doubt director Nick Cassavetes (She's So Lovely) and Denzel Washington (as well as Robert Duvall, Ray Liotta, James Woods, and Anne Heche) were drawn to the provocative pitch. The only snag is that John Q. has about as much edge as an after-school special. Washington plays John Quincy Archibald, a hard-working factory worker whose house stands to be repossessed and whose lovely wife (Kimberly Elise) is at her wits' end. When his extremely cute son collapses while rounding the bases in a Little League game, things go from bad to worse. John Q. takes a downtown Chicago emergency room hostage when he learns that the heart transplant his son needs won't be performed because his health care doesn't cover it. The action-drama that ensues--replete with one-liners, stilted debate, inept snipers, and multiple references to O.J. Simpson's white Bronco--is so littered with clichés that the issues, timely ones, get lost in a crescendo of melodrama. --Fionn Meade

Justice for John Q!!!.......2007-04-21

Where do I start. Oh where do I begin! This is probably one of my favorite film. Denzel won an Oscar for Training Day, now I do like that movie, but this movie Denzel should have won it! He is amazingly passionate and heart felt to see a father care for his child. I love this movie. I love the drama, i love the script, and I love the acting. I do think that the whole movie is a great movie to watch fequently. I bought it and I feel so close to this movie. It grabs your heart, and make you have an awakening moment for the lives of this family. Love it Love it, oh did I mention that I Love it? :) Watch it . . . either rental or purchase!

EXCELLENT WASHINGTON IS SUPERB .......2007-04-12

This is an excellent film and Denzel Washington gives a outstanding performance. This tense and gripping drama will have you balling your eyes out in the unforgetable climax! Nice DVD transfer.

Pushes All the buttons.......2006-10-10

If you watch John Q, be prepared to have all your buttons pushed. This is easily one of the most manipulative movies I've seen in a long time. Bam! HMO's are bad. BAM! Doctors are only out for money! BAM! Hospitals are cruel, uncaring places. Bam! Insurance companies are scum! Bam! Police Chiefs are idiots!

Despite that, however, this is a good film to watch. Yes, you will be cheering for John Q and will be outraged at the way he and his family are treated by a callous system that allows the family to fall through the cracks in the medical care system.

Denzel Washington is, as always, terrific to watch as the poor schmuck who just never quite manages to make it, although he means well. I have to admit, I found the kid VERY annoying-- much too cute and perfect, but fortunately he wasn't on screen that much. The important thing is the message of the film-- it is a crime that in the richest country on earth there are people who cannot afford medical care.

Great Product.......2006-08-16

The first time I was this movie was in my health class. It is such a good movie. The story that is told in the movie is realistic and the actors played well. I even cried a couple of times during the movie. It's very touching.
