"Cette étonnante comédie sombre, inspirée d'un roman d'Elmore Leonard - à l'instar de Jackie Brown -, fut l'une des surprises de l'année 1995. Après l'énorme succès de Pulp Fiction, John Travolta poursuit son come-back. Il incarne un mécanicien de la mafia fasciné par le monde du cinéma qui se découvre une vocation de producteur. En compagnie d'un autre producteur (Gene Hackman) totalement véreux et d'une star (Dany de Vito), il se ..."
"The wedding from hell just sparked a match made in heaven! Comedy legend Carl Reiner directs the hottest couple of the year, Bette Midler and Dennis Farina in an irresistibly funny, incurably romantic motion picture that celebrates the "lighter" side of love. Happily divorced for 14 years, Lilly and Dan still have one thing in common, they hate each other with nuclear capacity. But after a knock-down, drag-out fight at their daughter's ..."

"Honored with over 50 Emmy nominations since its groundbreaking first season, Law & Order continues to excel at bringing powerful stories to a devoted television audience. Now, all 22 captivating episodes of Season 4 are on DVD for the first time ever. Relive each gripping moment as New York's toughest detectives and prosecutors take on the hard-hitting cases that make the news - from blackmail to mail bombs to murder. It was during the ..."
"Law & Order's third year marked a transitional one for the top-rated drama. In 1992, Jerry Orbach (Prince of the City) joined the cast. His Det. Lenny Briscoe would turn out to be one of its most enduring characters. After Sgt. Phil Ceretta (Paul Sorvino) is shot by a gun dealer in episode eight ("Prince of Darkness"), Briscoe teams up with Det. Mike Logan (Chris Noth) in the next ("Point of View"). It wasn't meant to be a permanent cha ..."
" Director Jeff Santo's This Old Cub is more homage to his father than a documentary. (And it's something of a calling card to baseball's Hall of Fame. It is not just for Chicago Cubs devotees or fans of old-school baseball, of which former third baseman Ron Santo is in a class by himself.) Anyone facing adversity or hardship will be inspired by Santo's moving story. Santo is in the pantheon of great Cubs players: hard-nosed and blue co ..."
"On May 2, 1946, six Alcatraz inmates staged a prison mutiny, capturing the cell house and seizing the attention of the country. David Carradine (Kill Bill, Kung Fu), Dennis Farina (Saving Private Ryan, Snatch), and David Morse (The Green Mile, Twelve Monkeys) star in this dramatization of their incredible battle against impossible odds.Known as Hellcatraz by its prisoners, the maximum security island prison saw eight escape attempts wh ..."
"NBC's long running crime drama Law & Order has succeeded largely because it allows for an innovative, nuanced view of the American legal system from start to finish. Each one hour show begins with the police investigation of a crime, and for the first half two detectives (here it's Jerry Orbach and Jesse L. Martin) wade through the evidence to come up with a prime suspect. The second half hour follows the suspect to trial and is told fr ..."
"Law & Order, the groundbreaking, Emmy Award winning drama series explodes onto DVD - with all 22 gripping, ripped-from-the-headlines episodes of its second year contained in this must-have DVD collection. Paul Sorvino, Michael Moriarty, Chris Noth, Richard Brooks, Dann Florek and Steven Hill are the relentless investigators and prosecutors who tackle the intriguing criminal cases that come before them; guest stars appearing in this com ..."
"A fatally ambitious gangland enforcer (John Turturro) collides with destiny after following the murderous advice of three fortunetellers and his shrewish wife . . . does any of this sound familiar, Shakespeare fans? While this occasionally effective, mostly hilarious drama may not be the first film to transplant the tragedy of Macbeth to a modern-day milieu (that honor goes to a 1955 obscurity with the wonderfully blatant title of Joe ..."
"Mit dem Kassenerfolg von Beverly Hills Cop katapultierte sich Regisseur Martin Brest an die Spitze von Hollywoods Bestenliste. Und dieser Nachfolgefilm aus dem Jahr 1988 ist noch um Klassen besser. Filme wie Midnight Run - Fünf Tage bis Mitternacht sind eine ausdrückliche Seltenheit: eine Action-Komödie, die auch höheren Ansprüchen genügen kann. Zu verdanken ist dies dem ausgefeilten Script von George Gallo, dem herausragenden Zusammens ..."
"Üblicherweise wirkt es immer ein bisschen unfair, wenn man eine Rezension damit beginnt, auf die Ehefrau des Regisseurs zu verweisen. Andererseits ist die fragliche Dame üblicherweise auch nicht Madonna; eine Frau, deren Fähigkeiten, sich schon vor dem Frühstück einige Male neu zu erfinden, im krassen Gegensatz zu denen ihres Ehemanns Guy Ritchie zu stehen scheinen. Der Nachfolger zu Ritchies Durchbruch Bube, Dame, König, grAs, einem en ..."
"In Stealing Harvard, the charming Jason Lee (Chasing Amy, Almost Famous) wastes his talent playing John, a nice guy who once rashly promised his niece that he would pay for her college education. Now she's been accepted into Harvard, and though John has just the right amount of money in the bank, that money is meant to buy a house for himself and his fiancée Elaine (Leslie Mann, Big Daddy). Afraid of disappointing his niece, John e ..."
"John (Jason Lee) leads a simple and happy life. He has a beautiful fiancée and an assistant managerposition at his future father-in-law's company. Everything seems perfect, until John's favorite niece surprises him with her acceptance to Harvard University and he's reminded of a long forgotten oath he made to foot the bill! Desperate, John turns to his hare-brained and half-witted best friend Duff (Tom Green) for advice. Thinking far ou ..."
"From its gritty documentary look to its signature note-knocking "tching-tching" that signals scene changes, Law & Order was a groundbreaking cop show when it debuted in 1990. It has since earned Emmys for Best Dramatic Series and spun off satellite franchises, and reruns of the original series are as omnipresent in syndication as those of I Love Lucy. Devoted fans and those who came late to the series can catch it from the beginning wit ..."
"There's a rough-edged elegance in the way six characters pair off in Ed Burns's urban dramedy Sidewalks of New York. The film's release was delayed by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but its observant perception of romance remains timelessly unaffected by the tragedy that struck New York after filming completed. As he did with The Brothers McMullen, Burns creates authentic characters who are likable despite their self-cente ..."
