This riveting Showtime series puts a familial spin on Angels with Dirty Faces, the 1938 James Cagney-Pat O'Brien classic in which two childhood friends take divergent paths--one becomes a priest, and the other a hoodlum. In Brotherhood, Michael Caffee (Jason Clarke) is an idealistic and respectable Rhode Island state representative dedicated to the preservation of his close-knit lower-middle-class Irish neighborhood, the Hill. His older brother, Michael (Jason Isaacs), is a gangster who returns home after a seven-year absence (one step ahead of a hit, two steps ahead of the Feds) to pick up where he left off. The stage is set for backroom skullduggery and mean streets thuggery, as both men pursue their visions of the American dream on opposite sides of the law. At the heart of this series is the conflict between the estranged brothers. With the exception of clueless matriarch MaryRose (Fionnula Flanagan), Michael is not exactly received with open arms. "You're a tornado," Tommy tells him early on. "You suck everything in and spit it out broken." Indeed, the man is a psychopath. When a henchman of neighborhood mob boss Freddie Cork (Kevin Chapman) threatens a woman, Michael not only repeatedly bashes his head against a car, but for the coup de grace, cuts off his ear. In one gut-wrenching scene, he compels a woman to sell him her store by inducing her mentally challenged brother to play Russian Roulette. No wonder Tommy insists, "We're not the same in any way." But don't be too sure. Michael is a good man and devoted father and husband, but he isn't above (or beneath) using Michael's inside information to blackmail a stubborn colleague who won't vote his way on a freeway project that could destroy the Hill.

As the season unfolds, he will be forced to make more ethically challenged deals with the powers behind the scenes, one of whom has a mysterious connection with his mother. Brotherhood mines the clash between personal and professional lives to flesh out its characters. "The people's business" doesn't pay well, and Tommy is forced to moonlight as a real estate developer, and perform all home repairs. Eileen (Annabeth Gish), his picture-perfect politician's wife, smokes pot and is having an affair with a man she knew in high school. Declan Gigg (Ethan Embry) is a conflicted policeman who grew up with the Caffees. Comparisons with The Sopranos are inevitable, but Brotherhood quickly establishes its own unique voice, if not accent. --Donald Liebenson

Description

A working-class Irish family is torn between right and wrong when two brothers live out their destinies on opposite sides of the law. BROTHERHOOD tells the story of two brothers who sometimes share a twisted sense of moral compromise--each with his own skewed, idealistic vision of what makes the American dream.

This season will leave you wishing the next was already showing. I may get a subscription to the cable channel this airs on. A must buy.

Japanese manga inspiration??.......2007-03-28

First of all, I want to say that I haven't watched the series yet. But what really surprised me it's the premise: two people helping each other from both sides of the law... It's exactly the same that "Sanctuary" a japanese manga (comic book) from author Ryoichi Ikegami (story by Sho Fumimura). It was a bestseller in Japan and some real action and anime films were made. It was about two friends that had shared a harsh infancy, and decide to gain control of the country's powers and then help each other: one will join the yakuza to become the national mob boss and the other will get into politics to became Japan's president. Shhiver!! I just wanted to point out these similarities. Does anybody know if this series is in fact based in "Sanctuary"?

If I didn't know better...........2007-03-08

I'd say that Jason Isaacs sounds just like Robert DeNiro in gangster mode.
It was cool! Condidering Isaacs is from Liverpool, he pulled it off nicely.

It's also a great show!!! I can't wait for season2 .

Better than the Sopranos? You've gotta be kidding!.......2007-01-13

Clunky, stupid, one-note characters. "Der" (a New England phrase for "Duh") thugs, very little witty or intriguing about them, once you know their "thing." Though the actors are obviously super-accomplished, the writing is just dull. Makes Providence, Rhode Island seem horrible, and I grew up nearby. It's not that bad. This is a "Kennedys-poor-cousins" series that didn't have enough texture to make me keep watching. Frankly, except for Annabeth Gish, no character was attractive, amusing or smart enough. I couldn't wait to return it. Very ho-hum, and nowhere near as deliciously, endlessly fascinating as the Sopranos. I love the Irish, too, but this one didn't do it for me.

Excellent answer to Sopranos........2007-01-06

Excellent new show by Showtime.
Looking forward to Year 2.

Zathura, a smart and stylish kid's adventure, launches into action when Danny (Jonah Bobo) twists the key of a dusty science fiction game--a game that unleashes a localized meteor shower and wrenches Danny's house into orbit around a distant ringed planet, bringing Danny's brother Walter (Josh Hutcherson, Kicking and Screaming) and sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) along. Soon a defective robot, a rangy astronaut (Dax Shepard, Without a Paddle), and an alien spaceship enter the picture. Only by completing the game can the kids return their house to its proper space-time coordinates, but the game board falls into the hands of some nasty, carnivorous lizards. Zathura has some obligatory emotional conflict and resolution between the two brothers, but that's pretty much beside the point; what makes Zathura a delight is the wonderful design, the skillful escalation of disasters, and the adroit direction of Jon Favreau (Elf), who is quickly becoming the go-to guy for mass-market movies with wit and timing. Some situations may be too intense for younger kids; Favreau ratchets up the suspense at a few points. Based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg (Jumanji). Also featuring Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption). --Bret Fetzer

Description

In Columbia Pictures' heart-racing sci-fi adventure Zathura, two squabbling brothers are propelled into deepest, darkest space while playing a mysterious game they discovered in the basement of theirold house. On their fantastic journey, they are joined by a stranded astronaut and must survive meteor showers, hostile lizard-like aliens, a rocket-propelled robot run amok and an intergalactic spaceship battle. Unless they finish the game and reach the planet Zathura, they could be trapped in outer space forever.

Time to play the game..........2007-06-30

I hadn't even been conceived back in 1959. That was about when my mom was still in school. Nonetheless, I sat down during my teenage years every afternoon after school to watch the episodes of "The Twilight Zone" I'd taped the night before (via timer) off the sci-fi channel, because I loved the formula. That formula? Suspension of disbelieve = 1.
By this I mean that the audience will only really have to suspend their disbelief for one thing. One element. One plot point that dominates the episode later. One thing alone about the world you're about to be vaulted into is different or unnatural.
The same was true of Jumanji. Basically, there is a board game (presumably a cursed board game, as it weilds magic against the gamers,) that you must play to the end, or else its "interesting effects" will never go away.
Of course, Jumanji took those effects from a fictitious jungle environment, more dangerous than any jungle on earth, but Zathura is a slightly different kind of game. This one is a space exploration game, and starting the game vaults anyone who plays it, along with, presumably, everything in their immediate vicinity, into the spaceborne world of Zathura. The long and short is that two quarreling brothers start playing the game and find themselves and their house stranded in outer space.
Now, I've seen many good reviews for this movie, and I'm sorry mine must be so... harsh, but I didn't enjoy Zathura as much as I enjoyed Jumanji for one reason above all others.
That reason is that frankly, the scriptwriting stunk.
I'm not talking about the dialogue between the boys or the dialogue of their father or their sister, or some of the dialogue of the mysterious astronaut, who appears later on. Much of the dialogue was actually very realistic, which is more than can be said for most kids movies. Problems seem to have only arisen in dialogue when it pertains to the game and its effects, which occur more and more frequently as the movie progresses.
For one thing, the behavior of children when vaulted into outer space by a mad board game would be considerably different than what is shown in this movie. In Jumanji, the behaviors of the kids (and adults) playing the game was actually quite realistic. The girl who plays the game of Jumanji reacts realistically to the game's warning with an "un-oh. I didn't see this part." Then from then on, the kids realize that it is of the utmost importance that one of them finish the game if they want to be rid of the horrible dangers it's been visiting upon them.
In this movie, the very real, life-threatening dangers are put on the back burner in the children's minds, as their conflicts with one another take precidence. For instance, the whole scene where the older brother complains that the younger one "cheated" to move himself ahead a number of spaces, and not even the astronaut has the wherewithall to note that if cheating were possible, they should all try it, since who "wins" doesn't matter. What matters is that they don't all lose.
Children quarrel easily, and can be remarkably foolish and stubborn. This I freely admit, but if they are in mortal danger, they will stand up and harken to it first, before trying to find someone to blame. This was done in Jumanji, but not Zathura. I think the scriptwriters on this movie were either being pestered by their own quarreling children WHILE they wrote this script, or else had just come off reading "lord of the flies" and decided that all children are barbaric and less intelligent than squirrels; which at least have the basic animal instinct to react to danger until the danger is past.
Indeed, I have to say that since this is really only a problem when the game gets involved, I almost found myself wishing the game had never been in the movie, and that it had just been a movie about two brothers learning about each other while being left alone in a house with their irresponsible sister, which is a shame, since the game is kinda supposed to be what the whole movie is about, right?
Of course, this is the biggest problem with this movie (unrealistic dialogue,) but there are other shortcomings it has that Jumanji lacked. At least, these things are shortcomings in my mind.
First, I think the fact that the boys adventure takes place entirely in another world didn't really help things any. Realistically, they sort of had to do it that way, in order for it to be a space exploring game, but I kind of prefer the effect when there's some scenery to worry about beyond one house, a starfield and a few alien ships. I always liked the scenes in Jumanji where the stampeding animals ran through town and stomped all over that one car. They could have at least visited another planet or something and showed some scenery like that.
However, more importantly, the game (I know we're supposed to suspend our disbelief regarding the game, but this bothered me) seems to appear just before the younger brother finds it, and disappear just after they finish. It's apparently been lying in the basement of their house (an old house, admittedly, but it's not like someone tried to get rid of it, like they did Jumanji,) visible behind the stairs in that basement to anyone who turns around to walk up them. It would have made a whole lot more sense (at least to me,) if the game had been found by the younger brother in a crater in a local park or something; all that remained of a meteorite. Plus, I just thought that up on the spot. You could also do a lot of other origin stories that make even more sense. Aliens drop it off to get rid of it, it comes from the future due to a time warp, it was manufactured by a race of spacefaring immortals and lost by one of their children... the list goes on. The game has no origin, and it easily could. How much imagination does it really take?
However, and this bothered me a lot more, the game is left on the floor where anyone could get at it after they win. What, do they WANT somebody to come along and get lost in space after they've just barely escaped with their lives? It was another thing about their behavior that didn't add up. At least bury it in the backyard or something.
I've already commented on the lack of scenery, but let me do so once more. Even at the beginning and ending of the movie, where you get to see the yard and street connected to the house, the camera never dares to zoom into someone else's yard and the script never calls for the boys to go off the property for any reason, and it fades out just as they're about to leave the lot at the end of the movie. Disappointing. This isn't the Sims, for goodness sake. It's okay to show the neighborhood (unless the neighborhood pulled out of the movie at the last minute.)
But I think the worst thing, for me, wasn't the confined space of this movie (irony there... sorta...) but the fact that there really weren't any action sequences at all. Children fighting with giant, poison misquitos and spiders is an action sequence. Robin Williams fending off an african lion is an action sequence. These kids typically aren't called upon to do anything but run from one place to another, pick things up, carry them, put them down, break some furniture, and hold up cards. For those who are familiar with beer, let me say that this movie felt like Jumanji Lite; not as exciting to make it go down easier.
Indeed, Zathura goes down easy, and that's my issue. I know this movie clearly was intended for kids after having watched it, but I'm pretty sure Jumanji was too, and it was also enjoyable to adults. It took a stupid, unrealistic, silly and impossible piece of subject matter and did as much with it as was humanly possible at the time, achieving the delicate balance of stressing the character traits and life experiences of the characters it portrays, but not allowing those traits to take center stage, watermarking them over the mortal danger, or really even letting them distract the viewers from the centerpiece of the movie.
Long and short, Jumanji was better. The graphics and sound have improved over the last decade, but that's to be expected. Graphics and sound quality are pretty much all this film had on Jumanji. I won't say it's a downright bad film, because there are enjoyable elements to it, and a kid might like it more than I (an artist) do, but after having seen it once, I can't picture myself purchasing it.

Similar to Jumanji...........2007-06-26

Except it involves being in outer space rather than a jungle theme. Nice special effects in this movie, along with nice acting from the cast members.

Some really funny scenes take place, however some scenes may be too scary for those five years old and under. The movie's/story's message seems to be one of working together to solve a problem and brotherly love.

Excellent Sequel (of sorts) to Jumanji!.......2007-06-24

The film is in the style of Jumanji. Two warring pre-teen brothers and their teen sister are the stars. It centers on a game that takes you to different places and puts you in different situations that are "life and death"! With each roll of the die, you put your life at risk! The only way to get to safety is to finish the game! Excellent concept, excellent story!

Better than "Jumanji".......2007-05-21

The 2005 fantasy/sci-fi film "Zathura: A Space Adventure" was a sequel of sorts to the 1995 film "Jumanji". Based upon the 2002 book "Zathura" by Chris Van Allsburg, (who also wrote the book "Jumanji" in 1981), the plot of the film "Zathura" is very similar to "Jumanji" as it centers around a mysterious & magical board game. In this case, the name of the board game is Zathura, which is found by the youngest of two rivaling brothers: Walter (Josh Hutcherson) who is 10 years old and Danny (Jonah Bobo) who is 6 years old. Walter, Danny and their older teenage sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart) are the children of recently divorced parents. The children's mother is never shown, but their father (Tim Robbins) does his best to spend time with the boys in spite of his busy work schedule. It is when the father has to leave on the weekend to attend a meeting that Walter & Danny get into a heated argument as Walter really can't stand Danny and repeatedly accuses Danny of cheating in just about everything. Danny tried to hide from Walter inside of an old dumbwaiter built into their father's old house. Walter finds Danny and lowers him into the dark basement, which frightens Danny considerably. In the basement, Danny finds the courage to come out of the dumbwaiter and it is there that he find the box containing the Zathura board game under the stairs leading back up into the house. Danny brings the game upstairs to see if Walter will play with him as they are both bored and not happy that their father had to leave. It is when Danny starts to the play the game that the sci-fi fantasy begins as their father's house is magically transported into space near a ringed & multi-mooned planet resembling Saturn. Walter & Danny try desperately to get help from Lisa, but thinking that it's dark outside, she runs into the bathroom to get ready for a date. In the meantime, the boys continue to play, which only allows more unusual & dangerous things to occur, such as the appearance of a mad robot, lizard-like aliens and a mysterious astronaut (Dax Shepard). With Walter & Danny continuing to fight and Danny being reluctant to continue to play, will any of them ever see home again?

Directed by Jon Favreau, with extravagant special effects, good cinematography, an interesting story (more so than "Jumanji") and mostly engaging characters, "Zathura: A Space Adventure" is a film worth watching. The primary downside to the film is the almost constant fighting between Walter & Danny, as well as Walter's very poor attitude during most of the film; but this is better explained towards the end of the film. Overall, I rate "Zathura: A Space Adventure" with 3.5 out of 5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars.

Waste of money if you expect anything different to Jumanji.......2007-04-11

I grew up watching & loving Jumanji. It was funny, it was original, and it's stood the test of the time (so far). I bought Zathura on the off chance, as I needed another DVD to complete the deal.

But Zathura is practically a carbon copy of Jumanji, but set in space, and with robots, and stranded astronauts (hello Dax Shephard), instead of out of control animals. Both were originally books, and Zathura is a sequel to Jumanji in the books. But they're just too similar, it's like the author couldn't think of another good idea, so decided to rehash his previous story. Both share the same plot device: children find a board game that transports them into another world effectively and cards are drawn that decide their fate and their surroundings. The only way to escape the game, is to play it.

There was a cool twist towards the end, but unfortunately I saw it coming, which was mighty clever of me, since I'm normally the last to spot these when it's staring me right in the face. Kristen Stewart, the girl from Panic Room, is in it a shocking little amount of time, and really isn't necessary to the story, apart from the fact she wears little more than a skimpy t-shirt, and what can only be described as guy's boxers. Basically, she's in the movie to look cute.

I was very disappointed in this, and every minute seemed to last a lot longer. It doesn't live up to Jumanji in my eyes, and if I ever have kids, I will be sitting them in front of Jumanji not Zathura. The only reason I'm keeping this, is to 'complete' my DVD collection - I don't have any DVDs where the title begins with Z.

The Met misses with this production of the famous Mozart opera.......2007-06-14

This is a barely adequate production of the great Mozart Opera.

The spare stage settings create little of the "Singspiel" magic that this opera requires.

Franciso Araiza is uninspiring as Tamino but other members of the cast are generally good - Kathleen Battle is appropriately girlish as Pamina, Kurt Moll provides some gravitas as Sarastro, and Manfred Hemm provides some energy and humour as Papageno.

This production never springs to life and after a while one just sits there feeling bored.

Sound and picture quality are OK.

Die Zauberflote.......2007-03-29

I was pleased with the musical performance, though mainly because this opera is one of my favorites. The sets were not all I thought they could be. I was disappointed that I could not find a way to find where I had left off in the playing if I needed to interrupt it for any length of time.

A wonderful production.......2007-03-17

I really thought I was buying the 2007 (I believe) production by the Met. The 2007 production is much more a high tech, mystical presentation, but much shortened. You, or at least I couldn't discover the production year in the flyer, but it doesn't matter. The DVD is certainly worth the money. I now know that the 2007 production is not yet available on DVD.

Brilliant.......2006-11-23

Everything about this performance is simply brilliant. In general, nothing beats live music performances. Having seen the opera live a few weeks ago, I can safely say this is at least as good as the live performance.

Perhaps the greatest performers were the Queen of the Night, Tamino and the orchestra itself. This DVD is truely a gem, and a joy to watch. Highly recomended.

Excellent!.......2006-10-12

I was a little wary of buying this DVD from the negative reviews for it, but after seeing it, I have no idea where those comments were founded. I got this just so that I could see the actual performances after listening to the opera, and I was not dissapointed! This is an exceptional production of the Magic Flute, and well worth it. The orchestra is very good. Here's a character-by-character analysis:
Sarastro is top rate; those low notes he is able to hit is unbelieveable! Kurt Moll is famous for this role as well. I especially like his aria and chorus of 'O Isis und Osiris'.
Pamina is really excellent as well. That Kathleen Battle sure has a great set of pipes! For me, the best part for her was in chapter 35: the sorrowful aria, 'Ach, ich fuhl's, es ist verschwunden' -It gives you chills.
Tamino is great, and I like the sound of his voice.
Papageno is marvelous! He was my favorite even when I just listened to a recording of the opera. He's got a great voice, and very funny. My favorite part is when he plays the magic chimes when he and Pamina are caught by the slaves. It's just fabulous! I also love the last piece where he finally gets his little Papagena.
The Queen of the Night is extremely good! Someone else had said she was awful and slowed down the triples in her one famous aria, 'Der Holle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen', but I thought she was exceptional. It's one of my favorites. I have a lot of them, as you can tell. She's not screechy or anything, and it's just great.
Overall I think this is a grand DVD, and I'm very happy I found it. I would highly recommend it to anybody just wanting to see a great production of Mozart's timeless opera; like I was.

I so enjoyed this movie. A good story, nice spooky atmosphere, great looking guys, nice spin on the vampire genre.

Finally some beefcake!.......2005-03-18

Loved it, terrible movie at it's core, but very appealing visually. Shot well, funny, and slick. As a fan of the horror genre (I'm of the Halloween and Friday the 13th generation) I'm used to seeing the girls in bikini/underwear/nothing for eyecandy. This one finally gives the boys a turn, with the male lead jogging shirtless, bending and stretching in long camera shots, and showing off his nice assets. The head vampire, who obviously adores him, is a hottie as well, and loves to hang out in his underwear with all his friends. Recommended for a lonely Friday night.

different story line but really good.......2004-02-09

I rented this movie thinking it was about vampires, I come to find out that its not but a play off vampires and how vampires are a myth they are the reality. Very beautiful guys actors along with one really annoying girl actress makes this movie worthwhile i recommend it to anyone looking for a short thrill you will be very pleased.

FRATERNAL INSTINCTS.......2004-01-17

Okay, this is obviously a movie meant to turn on the guys...if you're in to hunky young flesh, this one's for you. There's some studly looking dudes in this one. However, other than Nathan Watkins as Chris and Josh Hammond as his buddy, the rest of the acting is junior high level. Especially Bradley Stryker, the hunk who plays head guy Devon. Elizabeth Bruderman is simply awful as the female lead, a whiny voice delivering lines like she was a recorded answering machine voice. Direct David DeCoteau loves the slowmo camera as evidenced by the many shots of the four hunks strutting around campus.
The biggest sin, though: it's not the least bit scary..not the least.
Rent this one, don't buy it.
