 | | 4. Nothing But the Truth | | | Starring: Alan Alda Kate Beckinsale Director: Rod Lurie | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/22/2009 |  | Nothing But the Truth - DVD Review By: Jules Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/17/2009 5:36 PM | |
Israeli-born writer/director Rod Lurie (The Contender) delivers a sense of verit to a taut political thriller that has all the earmarks of having been based on the real case that inspired it -- the purposeful exposure of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert identity as a CIA Operations Officer by the Bush-Cheney administration. That tragic and possibly treasonous "get-even" act by the 2003 White House provides Lurie's fictional tale an unequivocal basis of credibility. read the full review | |

 | | 13. How Stella Got Her Groove Back | | | Starring: Angela Bassett Taye Diggs Director: Kevin Rodney Sullivan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/9/2007 | | How Stella Got Her Groove Back - DVD Review By: Don Willmott - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Perhaps the most potent female wish-fulfillment flick of the '90s, How Stella Got Her Groove Back drops interesting and well-played characters into highly improbable situations, with decidedly mixed results. The premise -- a burned-out fortysomething woman reignites her fire by bedding a muscle stud half her age -- is promising enough, but events unfold in increasingly unbelievable ways, leaving viewers with no choice but simply to throw up their hands, go along for the ride, and hope for as many shower scenes as possible. read the full review | |

In hindsight, the thought that a film could have ever done justice to Christopher George Latore Wallace, the Brooklyn-born rapper who went by the names Biggie Smalls and The Notorious B.I.G. until his untimely, unsolved murder in March 1997 at the age of 24, was a foolish if exceedingly hopeful fantasy. Would any director possibly be as good at balancing blunt criticism -- of masculinity, poverty, the music industry, the black experience in America and, perhaps most importantly, himself -- and have as big an ego as the late MC? Maybe Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep) but his project never came to pass. read the full review | |
