![]() Sleepers $14.98 Brad Pitt and Brad Renfro, (who died of a drug overdose around the same time as Heath Ledger.) He was a wonderful actor who starred in APT PUPIL, and in the CLIENT as a younger actor. This is a story of a boys prison and guards who sexually abuse them. The worst part? It's a flipper with a snap cover. I hate those flippers but in November 2009 the restored version will be available. I will buy it for sure. A good cast and a well done film, with a happy ending-smile! ![]() The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Single-Disc Edition) $19.99 Loved this movie, especially Brad Pitt's part. ran a little long with some slow scenes, i think they could have shortened it a bit. although i do not regret purchasing. ![]() Legends of the Fall (Special Edition) $14.94 I know this movie was meant to be a drama, but, honestly, how could anybody take it seriously? Three brothers fall in love with a sultry British beauty who somehow can rope a steer after being raised in Boston (that anomaly was never adequately explained, by the way). The reason they love her is obvious--she's the only available female in a 10,000-square-mile radius. The reason she loves them is a mystery. The youngest, Samuel, is an idiot. The eldest, Alfred,is a crashing bore. And Tristan is Brad Pitt. (Nuff said. Personally, I would have gone for Anthony Hopkins, who was the best man among 'em.) In short order, we have lust, betrayal, tragedy, guilt and estrangement.(All set to a soundtrack remarkably similar to the score of City Slickers.) "Years and years" pass, during which we have WWI, Prohibition, ranching, bears, congressional elections and various journeys to Africa, the South Seas and Crete (but, miraculously, nobody ages--except for Anthony Hopkins, who turns into an old man overnight). Eventually (if you can remember the plot after all that running around) the heart-warming bonds of blood (literally, in this case) overcome jealousy, and everybody hugs after a warm, reassuring burst of gunfire. The emotion-packed but manly reunion of the brothers and their stroke-ridden father over a pile of dead bodies brought tears to my eyes. I don't know when I've laughed so hard. (Now where are my shoes?) ![]() A River Runs Through It $14.94 I thoroughly enjoyed both as me and my brother were both raised the same way but not quit as religious. |
