 | | 17. My Cousin Vinny | | | Starring: Marisa Tomei Joe Pesci Director: Jonathan Lynn | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 |  | My Cousin Vinny - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/24/2009 7:48 PM | |
The comedy My Cousin Vinny is, more or less, a fish-out-of-water story involving a newly-certified Brooklyn attorney's attempts to keep his young cousin (Ralph Macchio) and his friend (Mitchell Whitfield) out of the electric chair when they are wrongly accused of murdering a gas-station clerk while on a road trip through Alabama. The attorney of the title, played with verve and nice timing by Joe Pesci, has a hellcat fiancee named Mona Lisa (Marisa Tomei) and they fight constantly. Together, they are unkempt, generally without class and generally substitute all adjectives with curse words. A few decades earlier, they would have been played by Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. read the full review | |

 | | 20. Planes Trains and Automobiles | | | Starring: John Candy Steve Martin Director: John Hughes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/22/2005 | User Rating: 5 | | Planes, Trains and Automobiles - DVD Review By: Pete Croatto - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/9/2009 11:09 PM | |
In 1987 John Hughes took a huge risk. The man who had spent three years profiling the lives of teenagers did the unthinkable: He wrote and directed two movies featuring adults: She’s Having a Baby and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. She’s Having a Baby is a pleasant comedy, but PTA is an absolute gem and one of the 1980s' most overlooked movies, a mixture of human drama and dizzying goofiness that qualifies it for timeless status. I should know. A co-worker and I continually quote lines from this 17-year-old movie. At this point we could audition for a remake. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Field of Dreams (2-Disc Widescreen Anniversary Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Kevin Costner Director: Phil Alden Robinson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/23/2005 | | Field of Dreams - DVD Review By: Mark Athitakis - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/2/2009 5:39 AM | |
Briefly, the plot of Field of Dreams: A thirty-something man hears voices from a Higher Power, abandons his ties to his family, wanders the earth gathering a passel of believers, suffers the mocking laughter of his townspeople but soon redeems himself, and, finally, is reconciled with his father. Say what you want about Kevin Costner, but you can’t say he never played Jesus Christ. In the ‘90s, Costner’s messianic ambitions – his belief that his aw-shucks Everyman demanded an epic canvas to match his bank account – produced some of the worst films ever made. read the full review | |
