Run, Forrest, run! It sure seemed great at the time, but Gump is aging, and it's starting to show a wrinkle or too. Recently I sat down to watch the double-disc DVD release, and I still found it fresh and smile-provoking, but boy if it isn't a sickly sweet experience. But what a crazy chain of events Forrest Gump has spawned: a poorly-received book sequel, a restaurant chain, and hordes of imitators -- not to mention a critical backlash. Why? Forrest Gump certainly plays to the sucker inside all of us, a tale of how a person can overcome any obstacle if he only tries hard enough. read the full review | |

 | | 30. Curious Case Of Benjamin Button | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | | Every great filmmaker is allowed one bad film. For David Fincher, his first was his worst. An intelligent director, Fincher cut his teeth on television commercials and music videos before making his feature debut in 1992 with a forgettable and regrettable installment in the Alien franchise. It was all uphill from there. Fincher's next five films arguably are modern classics, each impressively different from its immediate predecessor. Gen X fanboys idolize him for the basement-dwelling aggressions of Fight Club. The director brought flash -- and a needed backbone -- to pulp thrillers like The Game and Panic Room. And cineastes found plenty to appreciate in the meticulous musings of Fincher's cold-case police procedural, Zodiac. read the full review | |

After watching the film, the first thing that came to my mind was, “I’ve got to do a remake of this film!” But then I thought about trying to pitch the idea to a modern-day movie executive: “Okay, it’s going to be almost four hours long and shot over three months on location in the Sahara desert. We are going to need to blow up a full-size train because computer-generated effects probably wont do it justice. And we are not going to use any big stars, and won't have any female actors since there's no love story.”mething made almost 40 years ago would be able to keep my attention for the butt-numbing 3 1/2 hours of its duration. read the full review | |

 | | 46. Casablanca | | | Starring: Humphrey Bogart Ingrid Bergman Director: Michael Curtiz | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/7/2005 | | Casablanca - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
"Play it again, Sam." Well, those lines aren't in Casablanca, but the words "Bogie and Bergman" rank just below "Bogie and Bacall" when it comes to famous celebrity film pairings. Sometimes a kiss isn't just a kiss -- in this case, it's forever. And it was certainly the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
A new double-disc DVD of Casablanca enhances the film for novelists and cineastes alike. read the full review | |
