Persuasion from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $20.96 Customer Review:  As a lifelong fan of the works of Austen I am always leary of film adaptations, for fear they are glorified costume pieces. This film was so remarkably well done, the characterizations complete and fleshed out, it was as "clinging" as the book. It truly stays with you. Cirian Hinds and Amanda Root... |

Run Lola Run from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Catch this superb German film before Hollywood decides to remake it (and believe me, they will). This is cinema in its purest, most kinetic form. The plot is simple: Lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks that her boyfriend Manni owes to drug dealers, otherwise he's going to have to rob... |

The City of Lost Children from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $20.96 Customer Review: This is one of my ultimate favourite movies. The visual effects are simply stunning and the expressions and faces of the characters are incredible (Daniel Emilfork makes Rowan Atchison look like a slacker)! The story line, while a little convoluted, is at least interesting. I feel a little like The... |

The Road Home from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $23.96 Customer Review: Eclipsing any romantic comedy or drama from Hollywood in the last 30 years, The Road Home achieves so much by doing very little. Master filmmaker Zhang Yimou successfully captures what it's really like to fall in love for the first time through his use of cinematography (sumptuous as always),... |

Lagaan - Once Upon a Time in India from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $25.16 Customer Review: "Lagaan" - a Foreign Language Film Academy Award Nominee for 2001 - is a film, of all things, about cricket. As in many modern Bombay films, you'll find musical numbers, love triangles and lots of energy, but somehow this movie manages to tie it all into a cricket match and make it very, very... |

SLC Punk from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $15.95 Customer Review: This is officially my favorite movie. Personally, I believe everyone should see it, whether you love punk, despise it, or couldn't care less. If you are, in fact, into punk rock, more power to ya, because it'll give you an extra kick. But whatever the case, this movie's a great pick (unless you're... |

Welcome to the Dollhouse from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $22.36 Customer Review: One thing you will notice when you turn this movie on and begin watching it is how incredibly right and true to life it is. The movies strength lies in it's sarcasm. It is serious, but it doesn't take itself seriously. If junior high bit you, this movie bites back. You are forced to admire the... |

The Princess and the Warrior from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $26.96 Customer Review: It is criminal that, when writing a review for Tom Tykwer's masterly "The Princess & The Warrior", you almost need to mention Tykwer's previous film, 1999's "Run Lola Run". Using flash-cuts, still photographs, animation, black-and-white stock, digital video and slow-motion photography, amongst... |

Dogtown and Z-Boys from Columbia Tristar Hom Price: $15.95 Customer Review: Although it's been out for a number of months, it took me way too long to get to a theater to see it. I can't tell you how important this film is. As this ground breaking documentary starts to unfold, Stacy and Craig give you a bird's eye view of their 70's concrete playground, complete with... |

Tango from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $25.16 Customer Review:  This is an impressive cinematic experience which borders on pure ballet. What Evita achieved in some measure in its operatic effort (for all that it was worth)the movie Tango unleashes a continuous virtuosic display of stunning dance sequences which is not unlike that of classical ballet. To be... |

American Movie from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $25.16 Customer Review: I have a confession: I rented this on video as soon as it came out back in 1999 & I hated it. In fact, my friend & I turned it off in the middle of the film... Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but the real reason is b/c we didn't know we were watching an actual documentary...... |

Before going into anything else about this picture, just the site of the costumes and watching the Emperors soldiers, living breathing moving terra cotta warriors is simply awesome. The history of ancient China leaps at you... |

The Broken Hearts Club from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $23.96 Customer Review: The Broken Hearts Club is definitely a good flick. I watched the movie with great trepidation at first - it's name brought too many images of romance, sappiness, and tears to my mind. But I was very pleasantly suprised with its well-rounded blend of seriousness and humor as well. Probably the... |

Orlando from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $25.16 Customer Review: First of all, I have to say that I have not read Virginia Woolf's book on which this film is based. Ms. Woolf is not an "easy read", as her style tends to ramble a bit, and from what I understand, one could not literally translate "Orlando" to the screen. I commend Sally Potter for her adaptation of... |
