"Don't worry. We can walk to the curb from here."
Review of Annie Hall DVD by
arthurpringle
Advantages: A funny and enjoyable experience
Disadvantages: Erm...you might not like Woody Allen
Annie Hall was the 'breakout' film for Woody Allen as a director. The film won four Academy awards including best picture/director and saw Allen move away from the freewheeling comedy films he was best known for at the time. Annie Hall is essentially about the relationship between Alvy Singer (Allen), a typically neurotic Allen character, in this case a comedian, and aspiring singer Annie Hall, played by Diane keaton in an Oscar winning performance. ... ...between Alvy and Annie's family. Annie Hall begins with Allen speaking straight to the camera as Alvy. The scene is an immediate indication that Allen has moved on and is seeking to make a different type of picture with more ambition. Alvy's very Woody Allen concerns give us an insight into his character and make an arresting beginning; "There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the ...

Peculiar but great
Review of Being John Malkovich (Wide Screen) by
MrGee32
Advantages: Excellent
Disadvantages: erm - you let me know
Im a person who likes films that keep your mind working so you dont get bored. If youre like me id say watch this film its very bizarre.
John Cusack and Cameron Diaz are husband and wife who are currently struggling with money. Cusack is a puppeteer whcih isnt gaining him much money so he applies for a job as a filing clerk.
He gets the job so begins working and meets Catherine Keener who has also just started there and Cusack lusts after her.
... ...down the back of a filing cabinet, so he pulls out the cabinet and finds a hole in the wall.
He starts to look down the hole and next thing he knows he sliding in to the unkown. He then becomes John Malcovich for 15 minutesand then gets thrown out by the free way.
The 3 of them start charging for this experience.
Sounds a bit strange doesnt it - but dont worry it gets even weirder. There is lots going on in this film but im not going to ruin it ...

Review of Being John Malkovich DVD by
ally2kc
Advantages: Surreal, obscure and laugh out loud funny
Disadvantages: Impossible to follow hungover
...people credit Johnny Knoxville with being the mastermind (debatable) behind MTV's Jackass, it was actually Jonze who was creator and executive producer of the show in 2000. He also acted as producer on both of the Jackass films (Number two to be released this year.)
Jonze has tackled interesting and compelling subjects in his documentaries including a day in the life of Al Gore filmed shortly before the 2000 elections. Unfortunately, they were not ... ...by Morning and of course, Being John Malkovich. In 2008 a film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story Where the Wild Things Are will be released directed by Jonze and starring big names such as Michelle Williams, Forest Whitaker, Catherine O'Hara and Benicio Del Toro.
