Paris, Je T'Aime (Paris, I Love You)
$9.98
These short little vignettes don't ever add up to anything. After 3 or 4 the cliches start piling on and it's boring. They might as well have filmed this in Kansas City as far as learning about or even simply seeing Paris. Apparently there is absolutely nothing to see or do in Paris It's just like any other nondescript city in the western world, and it's extremely violent and unfriendly. If this is truly Paris I don't want to go there. I love French movies as I am French myself but this one is simply phony. Out of the 20 French movies I have on my shelf this one goes right to the bottom of my list.

Closer (Superbit Edition)
$14.94
When I first watched this movie I loved it, so I got myself a copy.

V for Vendetta (Widescreen Edition)
$14.98
The original Graphic novel this was based on is one of the smartest and best stories written last century. It's ig iea stuff examining the extremes of government and policies. It has no 2D characters but instead flushes out and makes you understand even if you don't like) all of them. It's timeless and never needs to be "updated" because it's about ideas that are still there today and were there long before the book was written.

This film claims to be an update on said story. But aparently update means they must skew a balanced look at polotics as a concept into an onslaught on the bush campaign. On top of that they took all these full developed characters and turned them into the very black and white nazi liek characters Alan Moore intentionally didn't write in the book.

This is a terrible movie that degrades everything the book stands for.
