May 7, 2008, 13:17 GMT

DVD Review: Twister (Two-Disc Special Edition)
As fast and furious as the tornadoes that are the villains of this film, Twister is mindless fun (well, unless you happen to be in the path of a tornado) that offers some great action scenes as well as thrill and chills. Watch out for that flying cow! ... more

DVD Review: The Savages
The Philip Seymour Hoffman festival continues as I sit down with another of his films.  He provides a solid performance here again, but the real kudos goes to his co-star Laura Linney who snagged an Oscar nomination out of the film.   ... more

DVD Review: Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead

Apr 22, 2008, 15:17 GMT

DVD Review: Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
Legendary director Sidney Lumet leads a high octane cast through some great paces with this melodrama (as Lumet calls it, we might say crime thriller).  The Devil’s in the details and this film excels in the devilish performance department.   ... more

DVD Review: Infamous

Feb 12, 2007, 13:22 GMT

DVD Review: Infamous
Though it tells the same story as Capote, Infamous is a different film and well worth your attention thanks to an excellent portrayal by Toby Jones.  They should share the Oscar and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Oscar should spend six month’s out of the year on Jones’ mantel. ... more

With entirely too much attitude for average film viewers “Strangers With Candy” remains a flat-out funny show that never stops rockin’ until the fat lady sings. ... more

DVD Review: Capote

Mar 15, 2006, 15:39 GMT

DVD Review: Capote
Fans of Truman Capote’s writing, the story of In Cold Blood, or bio-films in general will enjoy Capote. Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead on as Truman Capote and, in my opinion, deserved his win for best actor. The film takes its time telling the story behind the writing of In Cold Blood, and how writing the book changed Capote’s life. ... more

Entertainment by Philip Seymour Hoffman both fun and heartbreaking in the enthralling retelling of the American saga that was the end of Truman Capote. ... more

Movie Review: Capote

Sep 28, 2005, 9:40 GMT

Movie Review: Capote
CAPOTE is a fascinating portrait of modern literature's most eccentric personality.  Thanks to a layered performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman and the non-judgmental eye of director Bennett Miller, the film does for Truman Capote what Capote sought to do for two murderers.  It returns him to humanity.  ... more
