Harrisons Flowers [2000]
|
An implausible plot doesnt prevent Harrisons Flowers from being a harrowing and moving depiction of the cost of war. Andie MacDowell stars as Sarah Lloyd, the wife of a photojournalist reported lost in the 1991 civil war raging between ethnic divisions in the former Yugoslavia. Refusing to believe her husband is dead, Sarah flies to Austria and then drives into the heart of the war, where she teams up with other photographers (Adrien Brody and Brendan Gleeson), who help her find a small t..

ET - 20th Anniversary [1982]
|
This 20th Anniversary edition of E.T. introduces the warmth and sense of magic of Steven Spielbergs much-loved movie to a whole new generation. And it is the youngsters at whom this new version has been aimed, with the film being given a Star Wars-style make-over in the hope that it will appeal to a generation weaned on digital effects. Thus, ET now has a souped-up space ship and the pursuing FBI agents are more politically correct, carrying walkie-talkies in place of guns. Theyve ..

Fuji FinePix 1300 Digital Camera [1.2MP]
|
The Fuji 1300 compares to its more expensive, bigger brothers rather like a scooter compares to a motorcycle--the scooter is a fraction of the size, power and price, but around town, is as quick and fun as the motorcycle and you can even take it some places the motorcycle wont go. Inexpensive and lower-tech than some digital cameras but quick, easy and fun to operate, the Fuji 1300 will produce pictures very nearly as good as those from a substantially more expensive camera. The 1300 is a rev..

Cabaret - 30th Anniversary Special Edition [1972]
|
Cabaret is one of those film musicals whose cultural and stylistic influence extend well beyond the cinema. It confirmed Bob Fosses status as one of the boldest choreographers of the 20th century and gave Liza Minnelli an early peak in a film career which would never scale such heights again. Minnelli is both the films strength--on its own merits her performance is an Oscar-winning tour de force--and weakness. The real Sally Bowles was a third-rate performer and just one of a rich ..

Field of Dreams [Anniversary Edition] [WS] [2 Discs] [1989] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
|
A phenomenal hit when it was released in 1989, Field of Dreams has become a modern classic and a uniquely American slice of cinema. It functions effectively as a moving drama about the power of dreams, a fantasy ode to the national pastime of the US, and a brilliant adaptation of W.P. Kinsellas exquisite baseball novel Shoeless Joe. Kinsella himself found the film a delightful surprise, differing greatly from his novel but benefiting from its own creative variations. It is the film..
