Released by: Warner Brothers My Advice: Rent it. For now. Joe Moore (Hackman) is a career thief who just wants to take his winnings and sail away with his lovely young wife, Fran (Pidgeon), on his lovely boat. Especially because in his most recent job, his identity was compromised and he's vulnerable. However, when his business associate, Bergman (DeVito) decides to stiff Moore and his crew, the only road to retirement seems to be to pull one last job with Bergman's nephew, Jimmy Silk (Rockwell), looking over his shoulder (and straight at his lovely young wife).

Louis Winthorpe (Aykroyd) is an up-and-coming Wall Street tycoon who is about to get married. Billy Ray Valentine (Murphy) is a panhandler who has seen better days. Randolph and Mortimer Duke (Bellamy and Ameche) have other plans in mind for both of them. See, they have differing theories as to what makes successful people so successful. Randolph believes that people are influenced by their surroundings and Mortimer believes that breeding is what makes people successful. So, they place a bet with one another: They will have Winthorpe and Valentine will be forced to trade places with one another so that each can try to prove each other's theories.

12.07.03 by Doc @ 8:19 pm  Film: Written & Directed by: David S. Ward Released by: Paramount My Advice: Rental. Rachel Phelps (Whitton) has assumed control of the hard-luck Cleveland Indians, and would like to see nothing more than a move to the richer, sunnier market of Miami. But in order to push the move proposal through, she needs to make sure the team has such a rotten season that they lose money on ticket sales and merchandise. Once the team is in difficult enough financial straits, she can pull up stakes and move to Miami. To better guarantee her chances, she loads the Indians up with the biggest stack of washed-up has-beens and high-risk never-weres she can find, including a catcher with bum knees that's well past his prime, a pitcher with more felony charges than wins, and a catcher that just wants to draw a salary and ride out his endorsement deals. What she doesn't count on is the will to win possessed by this group of no-names. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: Wellspring My Advice: Buy it. Kurosawa is ostensibly a documentary telling a bit about the life and creativity behind one of the greatest directors to have ever lived; but in truth, the film is much, much more. It is a pæan to a director whose work touched thousands of lives and set the standard for cinematography and directorial greatness for generations to come. One of the first directors, and still one of the only, to have surmounted the language and culture barriers, Kurosawa's work remains unparalleled in cinematic history. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

12.07.03 by Doc @ 5:57 pm  Film: Written by: Jeremy Paul, T.R. Bowen, and John Hawkesworth, based on the writing of Arthur Conan Doyle Released by: MPI My Advice: Fans of the sleuth shouldn't miss it. After a pair of successful TV series, the gang at Granada realized they had a certifiable phenomenon on their hands by the name of Jeremy Brett. His portrayal of Doyle's master sleuth was lauded by both the world of literary fans of the original work and critics of television. It seemed only natural, then, to produce a few feature-length adventures for Sherlock and his faithful sidekick Watson to undertake. Despite (or perhaps due to) Brett's ongoing struggles with bipolar disorder, these feature performances are some of his most impressive, despite working with stories that really weren't the strength of Doyle's canon.
