The Phantom of the Opera (Full Screen Edition)

starring: Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver
directed by: Joel Schumacher

Release Date May 03, 2005
I could not wait to get this DVD and when I finally did get it, I was really amazed that Jerry could sing so well. Some may think he didn't do such a good job but I am a fan of everything he does. It was a great love story with so much hurt and loneliness. I felt such pain for the Phantom. Jerry did such a wonderful job behind the mask he had to wear because his part required his character to show emotion thru his eyes and his voice thru his songs . It was wonderful. I suggest this DVD to all and especially to those hard-core Jerry Butler fans. They have probably already seen it since we keep close vision to all his work.

Princess Mononoke

Release Date December 19, 2000
Everyone should be able to view Hayao Miyazaki animation. This film is no exception. You must see these films more than once. Put the setup in Japanese and English subtitles to get a better effect. Watch the films once for the story and then for the background animation. Superb!!!!

I can't wait for Studio Ghibli's next film to come to the U.S.. It is currently showing in Japan.

Tarzan (Special Edition)

starring: Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close, Brian Blessed, Nigel Hawthorne
directed by: Kevin Lima, Chris Buck (II)

Release Date October 18, 2005
Somewhere in 2000, Disney quietly launched a special 2 disc collector's edition of "Tarzan" the same year as its paltry one disc edition. For some reason it advertised the one disc version heavily, which is a shame because the collector's edition is a gem not to be missed by fans. Unfortunately I didn't know about it until years after its release, and by then it was out of print, hard to find, and expensive. Luckily I found a copy that was decently priced, and was finally able to get my hands on this remarkable edition. I see this as the "Tarzan" DVD for adults: instead of cartoony illustrations on the jacket, there's Glen Keane's famous sketch of Tarzan peering at you with those intense eyes. The menus are extremely well designed and the commentaries ... Read More:

Return to Me

starring: Chris Barnes (IX), James Belushi, William Bronder, Dick Cusack, Minnie Driver

Release Date October 31, 2000
I admit, this is not the usual type of romantic comedy. And that is just what appealed to me. For how could something as taboo as discussing a heart transplant translate to romantic comedy? It does, through an incredibly sweet story.

David Duchovney plays an architect who has lost the only woman he has ever loved. Minnie Driver is a sheltered waitress who receives the dead wife's heart. A year later, they meet, and sparks fly in spite of the heartbreaking secret.

But this is not a drama in any sense of the word. This is a story about life and love and human bonds. The romance is believable yet storybook smooth, without any true angst to put a damper on the light humor.

Even so, this is the kind of movie that may ... Read More:

South Park - Bigger, Longer & Uncut

starring: Deb Adair, Mary Kay Bergman, Franchesca Clifford, George Clooney, Stewart Copeland
directed by: Trey Parker

Release Date November 23, 1999
Outstanding! 5 Stars. This is how it's done. Stay true to the spirit and vision of the TV series and put in what would otherwise be in the TV show if TV didn't have to cater to lame, uptight, humorless people all the time. But it is precisely because of society's weirdness, stupidy, and strange mores that makes South Park possible in the first place. It is only out of the sheer wackyness of America that South Park comes from and reason why it is so funny. And I shouldn't be too down on America. I mean it's not like were in China or some crazy Muslim country. I'm sorry but those people are crazy.

"Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" makes me picture a gigantic uncircumcised wang which is a little funny I guess, but mainly just an image I'd prefer not to have ... Read More:
