Princess Mononoke from Miramax Price: $28.04 Customer Review:  Princess Mononoke is a nearly perfect anime, with brilliant visuals, dramatic but not distracting computer graphics, a great story which is not horribly compressed but allowed to unfold naturally in 134 minutes, and amazingly, a very good english version. This is the way every anime should be... |

Ran (Masterworks Edition) from Wellspring Media, In Price: $26.24 Customer Review: This is a magnificent movie. It is visually beautiful - the colors and the way the shots are framed are stunning.

The Rules of the Game - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $29.96 Customer Review: "The Rules of the Game" directed by Jean Renoir is now ranked #1 on many film critic lists. Renior built a comedy of manners around old stories. When this film was viewed in Paris in 1939 there was a near riot. The critics hated it for political reasons, but also because characters were walking... |

Malena from Miramax Price: $28.04 Customer Review:  This lovely and heart-wrenching movie was made even more special by the fact that the two main characters barely speak (well, one of them IS the narrator). I had never heard of the beautiful actress Monica Belluci (Malena) but now look forward to seeing her perform again. She was exquisite and spoke... |

Perhaps the built-in fan base of martial arts aficionados, or... |

Wings of Desire from MGM/UA Video Price: $19.98 Customer Review: FILM COMMENTS Probably Wim Wenders' most beloved film, "Wings of Desire" is one of those movies that works on a emotional -- rather than intellectual -- level. Interesting, since it's based on the dense -- though lovely -- poems of Rainer Maria Rilke, and sure ain't light on long, ponderous, wordy... |
