Twilight New Moon DVD

Twilight New Moon DVD Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Alice are all back in this sequel to Twilight With the start of the movie we see Bella Swan and it is her birthday. Bella is merely eighteen yet overly conscious of the fact she is aging while Edward Cullen her love, on account of him being a vampire, will stay forever a youthful 17. In class, the two high school students Bella and Edward are viewing Romeo and Juliet, characters that the two can likely identify with, and which seem to serve as a foreshadowing element to Bella and Swan's fate. Not long into the movie, Edward Cullen and Bella are walking together in the forest where he unexpectedly breaks up with Bella and tells her they will never see each other again. Upon hearing this, Bella seems to be in a state of disbelief and panic. Despite her urgings Edward disappears. After Edward's departure, Bella during the day seems to spend her time in a catatonic state. How time seems to have stopped for her is well depicted in this movie. She screams loudly in her sleep at night. She repeatedly attempts to intentionally hurt herself when such attempts seem to somehow result in visions of Edward. When her father suggests Bella move in with her mother in order to gain a fresh start, Bella starts to make attempts to recover. Her rebound from Edward's departure is helped in great part by Jacob Black, who turns out to be a werewolf. Despite Jacob's overtures, it's obvious Bella still has her heart with Edward. Throughout the movie, Bella is shown in various modes of obsessions, catatonic depression, and suicidal tendencies. As for Edward, he comes close to taking drastic measures himself. Not sure this movie serves as a good role model for the youth of the world, but aside from that the movie does a great job of entertaining and depicting the coaster ride of passion which often characterize youthful love. And who can forget Bella's lines in regards to her vampire love, "...it will be him. It's always been him. best action movies dvd - best chick flicks dvd - best romance movies dvd -

Up Series DVD

Up Series DVD When Seven Up was broadcast in 1964, it broke new ground and became the first part of a series which followed the lives of 14 students from varied social background begnning when they were 7 years old. The year is 1964 and about 20 English 7 year old children from diverse economic backgrounds are gathered together at a zoo.

Paul and Simon - Live in the dormitory of a children's home supported by charity. Simon is the only black child in the series. It seems one of the narrators asks Paul if he'll ever attend university to which Paul responds "What is university?". When Simon is asked the same question, he answers that he may just walk around and see what he can find.
Tony - attends a school at the east end of London. His girlfriend is a girl named Michelle, who refers to Tony as a monkey perhaps due to Tony being very physically active. Tony mentions he wants to be a jockey when he grows up. The narrator mentions that the vast majority of the children attending Tony's school will likely end up leaving school and start working at around the age of 15.
Jackie, Lynn, and Susan - Lynn mentions that she wants to work at Woolworth.
Nicholas - lives on a farm, son of a farmer. Attends a one room village school 4 miles from his home.
Neil and Peter - attends a school in a Liverpool suburb. Peter says he wants to be an astronaut. Neil mentions that he also wants to be an astronaut but if he cannot become one he wants to be a coach driver.
Bruce - attends a private boarding school since he was 5 years old. It seems his parents have divorced so his father lives far away. Bruce mentions that his heart's desire is to see his father. He states that when he grows up he plans to become a missionary and go to Africa and teach people who are not civilized to be more or less good.
John, Andrew, and Charles - attends an exclusive preparatory school in Kensington. They recite verses in Latin. When asked whether it was a good idea to charge people for school, John answers in the affirmative stating that otherwise schools would be so crowded and nasty. Charles answers in the affirmative as well, saying otherwise all the poor people would rush in. When asked about their future plans, all three mention in great detail the course of their studies and schools which they would like to attend up to the university level.
Suzie - attends a fashionable school for girls where one of the items of study is classical ballet. She wants children would like a nanny to take care of them.

One of the distinctions between the children of the lower and upper rungs of the economic ladder seem to be the distinction between freedom and discipline as mentioned by the narrator. Tony at the lower rung of society mentions how he plays and goes to bed at nights around 10 or 11 at night. During playtime, Tony gets free time and is left to run around and play with the other children as he likes. At the other end of the spectrum, the three children attending the exclusive preparatory school in Kensington, John, Andrew, and Charles mention how they go to sleep much earlier at around 7 at night. Also at the upper end of the economic ladder is Suzie, who studies classical ballet during her freetime. best tv shows dvd - top documentary films dvd -

Balls of Fury DVD

Balls of Fury DVD This movie mixes in elements of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon as well as Star Wars into a comedic mix. Randy Daytona is a former professional ping pong sensation who unfortunately lives a down and out life having lost his ping pong glory. One day he is approached by FBI agent Rodriguez who recruits Randy as part of an infiltration operation to catch criminal villian Feng. Knowing that Feng is a ping pong fanatic who organizes underground ping pong tournaments, the plan is to have Randy participate in one of Feng's tournaments. Having been out of the ping pong scene for years now, Randy is rusty and so the two enlist the help of legendary ping pong instructor Master Wong and his sensationally beautiful niece played by Maggie Q. The arch villian Feng in fact happens to have been Master Wong's star pupil at one time, until the dark side took over Feng, obviously a play on Yoda, Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker. Now Master Wong engages in mentoring the new star pupil Randy to go against his former star pupil turned villian Feng. As planned, Randy gets invited to Feng's ping pong tournament held in some secret jungle compound along with many other champion ping pong players. It is obvious the ping pong tournament is a spoof on Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. The movie contains some laugh out loud scenes, the story itself keeps the viewer's attention, and even if you're not a ping pong player nor fan one must admit the ping pong scenes are impressively shot with some shots reminescent of the Matrix providing the viewer with close up slow motion rotating angle perspectives. top comedy movies dvd -

One day the world has abruptly ended and the residents of a small town in Ohio find that they are alone. The reason for this sudden change in the world is due to a 6 year old boy named Anthony Freemont. Anthony has supernatural powers which allow him to read other people's thoughts, and carry out all kinds of deeds just with his mind. This 6 year old is a tyrant whose whims must be catered to by the townsfolk including his parents. They are all obviously terrified of this boy but are unable to speak or even think freely.

Juno DVD

Juno DVD The movie is about a year in the life of Juno MacGuff, a witty 16 year old girl who unexpectedly finds herself pregnant. The father is a classmate by the name of Paulie Bleeker. She initially plans to undergo an abortion but changes her mind while at the abortion clinic. When Juno decides to have the baby, her friend suggests searching for potential parents in the Penny Saver ads. They come across an ad put out by an affluent young couple. For a young girl who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, it is amazing how confident and unphased Juno seems to be throughout most of the movie. A young girl who suddenly finds herself having to make very adult decisions, Juno stays poised and confident refusing to play the role of helpless young victim. Its characters are out of the ordinary in this sense. For example, her boyfriend and baby's father Paulie Bleeker is a jock, but about the most un-jock like jock you've probably ever seen. A coming of age movie with an unexpected plot and characters, a lot of the movie's charm comes from the characters, especially Juno played by Ellen Page. The movie won an Oscar in the original screenplay category. best chick flicks dvd - best drama movies dvd -

There Will Be Blood DVD

There Will Be Blood DVD Loosely based on 1927 novel Oil authored by Upton Sinclair, the movie stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview. While digging for silver, Plainview instead finds crude oil. Starting as a one man team, the movie depicts Plainview's rise to become a very rich oil man. The movie is somewhat similar to The Aviator which stars Leonardo Dicaprio in that both of the main characters are very intense characters who seem to exhibit some signs of mental instability. The story itself is merely a depiction of one fictional person's life. The characters themselves such as Plainview and the show man preacher Eli are what make the movie interesting to watch. For example in the scene when Eli is fervently praying out the arthritis ghost out of a woman's hand, threatening to bite the ghost with his teeth...it's interesting to watch Eli as well as Plainview's reaction to it. As for the intense dislike which Plainview seems to have towards preacher Eli, not sure what this was all about or why it's in the movie but it did make it entertaining. A scene with Plainview and Eli where Eli uses a straw and milkshake as an analogy to a drill and oil is strange, ridiculous, but funny. This scene where Plainview bullies Eli with the words "Drainage!!", I for one personally found this humorous to watch. Daniel Day-Lewis' acting is intense as usual. Perhaps because of the gang leader character which Lewis played in Gangs of New York, I was expecting parts of this movie to suddenly erupt into bloody shootouts. After all the title of this movie is There Will Be Blood. One final note of interest, the movie seems to use sound effects which are very similar to ones used in the TV series Lost. best action movies dvd -

Lust Caution DVD

Lust Caution DVD Based on the 1979 novel Lust Caution authored by Eileen Chang, the movie is directed by Ang Lee known for his other movies such as Eat Drink Man Woman, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Brokeback Mountain. The movie starts off in 1942 Japanese occupied Shanghai China. The main female character played by Tang Wei is a young college student who gets involved in a plot to assassinate a member of the pro-Japanese collaboration government. For this goal, she attempts to seduce and win the affections of the man whom she eventually wants to see dead. In her pursuit of this endeavor however, she seems to genuinely feel affection for this man. Torn, she is forced to make a very tough decision. The movie is okay to watch however I kind of missed the part when she starts to feel affection for this man. It's not depicted in the most obvious way and so kind of comes as a surprise. best chick flicks dvd - best foreign films dvd -

American Gangster DVD

American Gangster DVD Movie starts off in Harlem, New York in the year 1968. A central character in the film is Frank Lucas, a drug dealer who cuts out middlemen, buying heroin directly from a source in Southeast Asia. During the chaos of the Vietnam war, Frank Lucas enlisted corrupt army personnel to transport illegal narcotics back to the states using US military transport vehicles. The heroin was sold under the brand name of "blue magic". It was not only more pure but also cost less than what was then available. An interesting aspect of the movie was its depiction of what seemed to be rampant corruption among those in the army, as well as those who were supposed to uphold the law. The movie shows corrupt cops who instead of looking to arrest Frank Lucas, saw Lucas as a cash cow from whom money could be extorted. Against this corrupt setting, detective Richie Roberts is the good cop, untouchable and honest who would lead the investigation of Frank Lucas. In one scene, Richie Roberts surrenders a million dollars of unmarked cash as opposed to keeping any of it for himself. His partner at the time is seriously concerned that such an act of "boy scout" honesty will mark them as pariahs to their fellow officers...the assumption here is that many of their fellow cops are corrupt. According to the movie, detective Richie Roberts' work led to the conviction of three quarters of New York City's Drug Enforcement Agency. The NYC DEA at the time seems to have been more a recruiting ground for middle men who made their money from colluding with drug dealers, as opposed to being an agency that fought narcotics crime. How disappointing. Against such a setting, detective Richie Roberts' integrity and drive to pursue the investigation against Frank Lucas seems that much more remarkable. One cannot help but ponder what motivates people like Richie Roberts to risk their lives, to go against the tide and to select the difficult road? best action movies dvd - best drama movies dvd -

Transformers DVD

Transformers DVD Transformers more than meets the eyes. The Autobots are the good, human-friendly group of robots led by Optimus Prime. The Decepticons are the evil counterparts intent on taking power for themselves and who care little for human life. The Decepticons are led by Megatron. The two fight each other in a race to seize a powerful cube called The All Spark. The movie diverged on several points from the original cartoons. For example in the movie Megatron transforms into a jet as opposed to a gun as in the original cartoons. And how could they leave out Soundwave who was Megatron's right hand man? That was disappointing. The biggest disappointment about this movie was the lack of an interesting plot. This often made the movie drag without any purpose or story. For example at Sam's house why is it that the scene where Sam searches for his grandfather's glasses must last a lengthy 10 minutes? It's 10 minutes worth of no action but lots of unfunny verbal exchanges between Sam, the Autobots, and Sam's parents. It's like the screenwriters did not have a story so maybe felt compelled to fill up the movie with something, anything even. And at the end of the movie when the Autobot Bumblebee finally speaks, why in the world does he have the voice of an English butler!? It's so ridiculous. And it's so far fetched how the Decepticon who at the start of the movie single handedly wiped out an entire army, gets wiped out in the end by a mere handful of soldiers with rifles. Get a story please!!...and at least try and make it somewhat credible. Disappointing. best action movies dvd - best sci fi movies dvd - kids movies dvd -

Godfather DVD

Godfather DVD The movie's setting seems to be post World War II era around 1945 or 1946. It is regarding an underground mob family in New York headed by Don Vito Corleon played by Marlon Brando. Don Corleon's son is Michael Corleon played by Al Pacino. Considering this film was made in the early 1970s, Al Pacino is so young in this film that I could not even recognize it was him until the ending credits started to roll. Don Corleon is an influential mob boss who controls many of the city's corrupt politicians and police. One day a fellow crime boss who makes money in narcotics requests Don Corleon's assistance with the city's politicians and police, in exchange for a cut of the narcotics profits. Don Corleon seems to have an inherent dislike for narcotics while seeing such things like gambling as an harmless vice. So Don Corleon refuses to take up the narcotics trade offer. Soon thereafter an attempt is made on Don Corleon's life in what seems to be an effort by fellow crime syndicates to break the monopoly influence the Corleon family has on the city's politicians. This of course causes the Corleon brothers to seek vengeance for their father and consequently we see the rise of Michael Corleon into the role of head of the Corleon crime family. The movie is okay but I personally preferred Goodfellas. The Godfather is based on the book by Mario Puzo The Godfather. Same writer also co-authored the screenplay for this movie. best action movies dvd - best drama movies dvd -

Sleepy Hollow DVD

Sleepy Hollow DVD Based on the book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow authored by Washington Irving, this movie stars Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane and stars Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel. Ichabod Crane is a constable sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate recent murders which occurred there. A man who prides himself on rational and scientific thinking, Ichabod Crane is dumbfounded when he comes across the supernatural being known as the Headless Horseman who is behind these murders. The movie goes into the origins of the Headless Horseman, who was a Hessian mercenary who himself was beheaded. best mystery movies dvd - best scary movies dvd -

Lake House DVD

Lake House DVD From the dog paw prints, a day when it unexpectedly snows, to Alex's catching a cold just as Kate predicts, this Hollywood remake starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock contain many similarities with the original film from which it is based Il Mare. For example the main male characters in both films have troubled relationships with their famous architect fathers. The overall story is extremely similar but there are some differences. In the original, the main female character loses a walkman which she uses to practice her voice actress skills. In The Lake House obviously this would not make sense as Sandra Bullock's character is not a voice actress but an ER physician, so instead she loses a copy of Jane Austen's Persuasion which happens to be her favorite book which happens to be about lovers who must part ways. In the original, the lake house was named Il Mare which means the sea in Italian. In the remake the lake house is not given a name, but the two main characters do plan to meet up together at a popular Chicago restaurant which happens to be called Il Mare. In the Hollywood remake, there are more frequent encounters between the two main characters. In fact so much so that it is kind of hard to believe Sandra Bullock's character is not able to recognize Keanu Reeves' character when they meet yet again. Another notable difference was that the original Il Mare film depicted a woman who loses an opportunity at new love due to her failing to find closure with a past love. The remake does not have this element. In the remake there is no past love. The overall story is pretty much the same as the original but The Lake House does seem to be a bit more of a rosier, happier story. best chick flicks dvd - best romance movies dvd -

Il Mare DVD

Il Mare DVD This movie was made in year 2000 and it is regarding a love which transcends time. The main female character, played by Jun, Jihyun, is a voice actress who also works part time at a comic book store. Two years ago her boyfriend at that time asked her to accompany him to the US where he was going off to study. She chose not to as she wanted to pursue her training to become a voice actress. After their separation, the relationship ended when the boyfriend found new love in the States. She seems pained by this and seems unable to get over her lost love. The main male character in this movie is someone who studied architecture during college but gave that up suddenly to work as a construction laborer. His father seems to be a famous architect and perhaps the strained relationship which he had with his father had something to do with his sudden change of career plans. Both characters have experienced troubles with love, whether that be a lost boyfriend or strained relationship with one's father, and so both characters live lonely lives as represented by the lakehouse which at times can seem very isolated and lonely. Movie was okay and kind of entertaining. Hollywood's remake of this movie is titled The Lake House and stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. best chick flicks dvd - best foreign films dvd - best romance movies dvd - korean movies dvd -

The Insider DVD

The Insider DVD A very interesting movie which provides insights into the events of Jeffrey Wigand, former vice president of scientific research at Brown & Williamson Tobacco. Brown & Williamson was the third largest tobacco operations in the US holding about 10% of the US cigarette market. Its brands included Kool, Lucky Strike, and GPC. In 2004 it merged with R.J. Reynolds. Wigand gets fired for "poor communication skills" after internally raising concerns about the company's use of chemicals such as ammonia and known carcinogenic substances to heighten the effect of nicotine in cigarettes, a practice referred to as "impact boosting". After being fired Wigand started to talk with Lowell Bergman a producer for the CBS News show 60 Minutes. Wigand is attacked with an array of measures including a lawsuit and death threats warning him to shut up. The actions of Brown & Williamson against Wigand is foreseeable. What was truly an eye opening and unexpected revelation is the movie's look into the debate and process of self-censorship which the 60 Minutes organization was going through internally. The movie reveals how the pending Westinghouse CBS merger influenced CBS attorneys to advise against airing the full Wigand interview, resulting in the self-censored version which was aired on November 12, 1995. It reveals how even in a democracy, vested interests can result in censorship of what is often believed to be the free press. The movie's portrayal of Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes shows a reporter who caves into pressure, choosing to follow the corporate line. best drama movies dvd -

Escape from the Planet of the Apes DVD

Escape from the Planet of the Apes DVD It is the year 1973 when colonel Taylor's spaceship which had been missing for the past two years is found floating in the water off southern California. When the US military brings the ship to shore and opens the hatch, three beings in astronaut suits emerge from the ship. The military leader starts to salute the astronauts but then has to stop himself when he is surprised to see that the three are apes. The three who emerged from the ship are none other than three chimpanzee intellectuals Zira, Cornelius, and Dr. Milo. It is soon revealed that Dr. Milo was a chimpanzee scientific genius way ahead of his time. Dr. Milo was able to salvage and repair the spaceship which had previously brought Taylor to their ape world. The three apes had escaped from their world using the spaceship just before their earth saw its demise in the previous sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes. When they left their world, the year was 3,955 A.D. What is so good about this movie is once again the fascinating story. Particularly interesting is Cornelius' revelations from the apes prehistory concerning the rise of apes and the start of the fall of human kind. While sympathetic to Zira and Cornelius, the movie does a good job in showing how humans in 1973 would be shocked and disturbed by the visiting apes' revelations of a future where apes rule, and humans are primitive animals who are experimented on and hunted for sport, and how the earth comes to an end. Consequently, the movie's characters are not black and white one dimensional good and bad people. Is Dr. Hasslein a cruel evil person who wants to eliminate the apes, or is he merely protecting the humans from a cruel and tragic future? best action movies dvd - best sci fi movies dvd -

Mission Impossible 3 DVD

Mission Impossible 3 DVD When Ethan Hunt comes down from the Vatican wall using the same rope trick as was seen in the first Mission Impossible, first thoughts which rise to mind are, seen it already and totally gratuitous. In the first movie, Hunt had to come down with his body in a horizontal position as it was crucial that he not make contact with the floor in order to avoid triggering an alarm. However here in this third mission, all he is doing is landing on the ground outside, so it's more natural to land on your feet. Why does he bother landing horizontally, merely to eventually stand on his feet. It's like the makers of the film needed to prove again that they can do the same old trick even if it doesn't fit, is totally unnecessary, and makes things look ridiculous. At the Vatican, how the mask of the villain Owen Davian was built was absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable. Ethan Hunt's team seems to be endowed with an endless array of super unbelievably powerful secret tools which they keep popping out of their batman utility belts. Whatever the danger or problem to overcome, expect some new device to pop out which can overcome it. What team could ever defeat Ethan Hunt's team? So why even bother making a movie when we know Ethan Hunt's got some super device which can overcome it at the last second. The summary of this movie can be "been there, seen that". best action movies dvd -

Bullet in the Head DVD

Bullet in the Head DVD After watching this my reaction was "awesome, wow". This is a great action film directed by John Woo, who would eventually go on to later direct Broken Arrow, Face Off, and Mission Impossible 2. Movie begins in 1967 Hong Kong introducing the audience to three extremely close friends Ben, Frank, and Paul, all from working class families barely getting by. Paul dreams of one day being able to drive a Mercedes Benz. On Ben's wedding night the three friends go into hiding after Ben and Frank kill a local gang member during a vicious fight. The three eventually find their way to Saigon, during the time of the Vietnam War. As expected Vietnam is in the middle of war and the place is chaotic and the three almost get killed soon after arriving there. They start to make a living off petty theft, until one day when they decide to strike a blow against a gang leader. The scene is a melee of bullets, machine guns, and explosions. In their attempt to runaway and return to Hong Kong, the three get captured as prisoners by the Vietcong who mistakenly believe the three may be working for the CIA. In the makeshift Vietcong prisoner of war camp, the three witness the Vietcong soldiers amusing themselves by torturing the prisoners of war. The three again almost get killed. Basically the story is wild, lots of new things happening here and there, and well executed action scenes everywhere. It's great. best action movies dvd - best foreign films dvd -

Ballad of a Soldier DVD

Ballad of a Soldier DVD The setting of this 1959 black and white Soviet era film is World War II when the Russians fight to defend their motherland against Nazi Germany's blitzkrieg invasion. During one battle a young 19 year old Soviet soldier, private Alyosha Skvortsov manages to take out two German tanks on his own. For this deed Alyosha is recognized as a hero and manages to obtain for himself 6 days leave so that he can go back to visit his village in Sosnovka and see his mother before returning to the front for battle. He hopes that he'll have enough time to go back and fix the leak in the roof for his mother. It is wartime however and the travel from the front to his home village seems to take longer than expected. Alyosha's journey to make a last visit to his mother before going off to war composes the largest chunk of this movie. Alyosha comes across several people on his way home including a devoted married wounded soldier, a concerned father who is awaiting the return of his son from the war front, as well as a girl named Shura who sneaks on the train Alyosha happens to be on. During these encounters there is a lot of character build up and the audience gets to witness Alyosha's youthful cheeriness, his genuine concern for even strangers, and in his encounter with the stowaway girl Shura the audience witnesses the possibility of Alyosha one day being with a girl he falls madly in love with. In the final scenes when he finally arrives in his home village of Sosnovka, we see the mother running through the fields to see her beloved son after hearing of his arrival home. The meeting is cut short however due to Alyosha's having to return to the war front. As the audience knows that Alyosha will never be returning to his home again the farewell between mother and son is ever more dramatic and sad. best drama movies dvd - best foreign films dvd -

Sky High DVD

Sky High DVD Towards the end of the movie the main character Will Stronghold says something along the lines of "Having super powers alone does not make you a hero, sometimes having super powers just makes you a jerk", which felt so very Walt Disney Pictures. Will Stronghold is the son of two superhero parents who are known as The Commander and Jetstream. Due to the legendary status of his parents people have high expectations for Will as he starts his freshman year at Sky High, a high school for future superheroes. However there's one problem and that is Will Stronghold does not seem to have inherited any of his parents superabilities making him just a normal everyday boy. On the first day of Sky High, the students are segregated into two main categories based on their powers - hero and sidekick. Will Stronghold is marked as a sidekick, grouped together with a boy whose power allows him to melt, a girl who can turn into a gerbil, and yet another boy who can glow in the dark. One day however when Will's powers kick in his life seems to change along with his priorities and the friends he hangs out with. The movie is decently entertaining and okay to watch once. disney dvd - family movies dvd - kids movies dvd -

Shinobi DVD

Shinobi DVD It is the year 1614 and the Tsubagakure of the Iga, and Manjidani of Kouga are two Shinobi clans who have 400 years of hostility between them. The Shinobi are people who have superhuman powers, like the mutants in the XMen. The main female character Oboro, played by actress Yukie Nakama, possesses what's termed as a "piercing eyes" technique, the main male character Kouga Gennosuke seems to have some super speed or ability to slow down time ability, not sure which. Other Shinobi fighters include the ability to breath poison, another is a beast-like Shinobi character, yet another is a seemingly immortal Shinobi character who keeps coming back to life after being killed, and many other interesting characters. At some point in time, the fighting ceases with a pact between the two clans. Tokugawa Ieyasu who is shogun of Japan starts seeing the Shinobi with their superabilities as a threat to his power. In Machiavellian fashion, Ieyasu ends the peace pact between the two Shinobi clans and holds a contest where the best 5 fighters from each of the two Shinobi clans will fight each other to the death, until only one fighter remains. Blinded by their centuries old mutual animosity, the two clans anxiously start the battle amongst themselves. Only Gennosuke and Oboro, the two young star crossed lovers seem to maintain enough reason to question the underlying intentions of Ieyasu's contest. The movie is based on 1950's novel Kouga Ninja Scrolls authored by Futaro Yamada. That novel seems to have inspired a series of animation as well including the animation series Basilisk. The gullibility of the Shinobi characters seems far fetched but the action scenes which are numerous are pretty well done. The movie's setting is breathtakingly beautiful and overall movie wasn't bad, but the star crossed lovers plot is getting a bit old. best foreign films dvd - martial arts movies dvd -

Paper Chase DVD

Paper Chase DVD Thinking of going to law school? This movie is a classic and many lawyers, prospective, current, and past law students will be familiar with this movie. The movie is based on the book The Paper Chase, written by John Jay Osborn Jr. who was a 1970 graduate of Harvard Law School. The movie and the book is regarding a first year Harvard law student and his experiences with a stern and demanding law professor - Professor Charles Kingsfield. As law students know the first year at law school is especially demanding and critical as the first year's grades sets the foundation for the opportunities one will have as a summer associate, making law review, and chances to work as a judicial clerk, and so the first year eventually sets the groundwork for what professional opportunities one will have after law school. This movie shows the first year law student's attempts to do well in his class, to the extent that he sneaks into a library in order to read works by Professor Kingsfield. The movie is not all about academics however. To his surprise the first year law student learns that the girl he's seeing happens to be Professor Kingsfield's daughter. The movie will be of particular, perhaps exclusive interest to prospective law students. However don't base your academic and future career decisions based on just this movie as after all the movie is quite old, released in 1970's and in the end it's just a movie. best drama movies dvd -
