She has been promised to Arthur by her father, so she journeys to his kingdom to offer her hand. But when she is kidnapped en route, a rather unlikely hero steps forward to save her, a roguish swordsman named Lancelot (Richard Gere). He turns co... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5583 5/10/2008 Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a loving husband and great father, but he tends to focus more on having fun with his kids, instead of being a more responsible parent. This causes conflict with his wife Miranda (Sally Field), who wants to see more routine in the family's household. Daniel works as a voice actor, but he isn't getting much work the... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5582 5/9/2008 I have to be honest in that when I opened up the UPS package and saw "Shall we Dance?" tumble out, I was a bit shocked. "Why?" I thought to myself "of all the catalog titles that Disney has, why would they release this movie on Blu-Ray?" The only answer (and the only person listening) to my question was on my television every Monday night. That'... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5580 5/8/2008 No, it's not deja vu, it really is Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman in another movie together. Audiences may (or may not, now that I factor in the box office of "The Invasion") remember the two Europeans from last summer's sci-fi blunder "The Invasion") and no less than six months later, here they are again. Granted, the two don't really share a sc... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5579 5/7/2008 I'm a skeptic. I dont believe in Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or a Sasquach. I doubt the existence of a supreme being but I do love a movie that captures my imagination and at least gives me the hought that something supernatural may or may not be out there. While I doubt that's the goal of "The Water Horse", that's a bit of what I got out of i... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5578 5/6/2008 For those that remember the Summer of 1996 (and I'm guessing that it should be just about everyone) there were a few great movies that really raked in the cash. Starting off the summer movie season was "Twister", not exactly an event movie but one that made waves at the box office. The real star of the show was the special effects, of course, but... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5577 5/2/2008 Call it what you will, but I really enjoyed "National Treasure". Call it a rip-off of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the impending "The Da Vinci Code" but put Nicholas Cage in a role and odds are that I'll come out a happy camper. Cage is one of the most talented and diverse actors working today who can easily pull off Comedy (Raising Arizona, Adapt... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5576 5/1/2008 We don't often hear about sharks at all, unless someone is attacked by one. The sharks have become a symbol of ocean fear, vicious creatures who thirst for human blood and attack with cause or care. In Sharkwater, biologist Rob Stewart shows us the real nature of sharks, which happens to be quite different than the commonly held opinions. Stewart a... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5574 4/30/2008 Eleven years ago Brad Pitt was still a huge movie star, but he wasnt alone at the top much like he is now. He had company. One of those men who helped rake in their share of dollars in the 80s and 90s was one Harrison Ford. Lets set the picture: Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford two of the biggest stars in 1997 were set to star in a movie together, so... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5573 4/26/2008 A group of airmen have been shot down and captured in a dense, remote Central American jungle, which makes a rescue quite difficult. But an elite squad of commandos has been assembled, one that has never failed in a mission. In the lead is Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a tough as nails soldier who never backs down from an enemy, no matte... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5572 4/25/2008 Hmmm...it won't be easy to use an entire paragraph to summarize this movie, since no one seems to let the story get in the way of the action. But since I have such a fondness for the movie, I will march on, and paraphrase the very best I can. Retired Colonel John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is just trying to relax and enjoy his retirement with h... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5570 4/22/2008 August Rush (Freddie Highmore) was separated from his parents and now, he lives in an orphanage where is he pushed around and bullied. As bad as things can get there, he is able to find an escape through music, even if there is no traditional music to be heard. August can find music anywhere, from leaves rustling to the wind blowing, whatever happe... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5569 4/19/2008 I have to admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for a horror movie. Now the genre will likely never die (pardon the pun), but there are certain aspects that must be present to make a horror movie truly good (read: scary). "One Missed Call" contains none of those and as such is 87 minutes of my life that I now want back. I usually comment on the cast,... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5568 4/17/2008 The tales of Baron Munchausen are well known, even to the extent that a play about his supposed adventures has been put into production. In the same city where Munchausen was said to reside, the play is being put on, but the performance is halted thanks to an attack by the Turks. As the battle rages around the theatre, a man arrives who claims to b... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5565 4/11/2008 Hank Deerfield (Tommy Lee Jones) served his country in the Vietnam conflict, but now he has to one last soldier to tend to, his own son. His son Mike (Jonathan Tucker) just completed a tour of duty in Iraq, but once he returned to American soil, he vanished and was considered AWOL. Now Mike faces a dishonorable discharge from the service, which his... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5564 4/10/2008 Although this film does have a central storyline, there's a much larger backdrop to it all, as we watch the tension between the Indians and the British. So while the characters venture through our smaller plotlines and such, the strain created by British rule over India can always be felt. We see this on both small and large scales of course, but I... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5563 4/10/2008 Dave Seville (Jason Lee) has dreams of being a music mogul, but he doesn't want to be a rock star, he just wants to write songs for one. But whatever material he takes to record producer Ian (David Cross), he gets rejected and Ian advises him to give up and take his life in a new direction. The years of frustration lead Dave to throw all of his equ... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5562 4/9/2008 Juno (Ellen Page) is sixteen and pregnant, thanks to having sex while bored or so she claims, despite the fact that The Blair Witch Project was on television at the time. As the reality of the situation begins to sink in, Juno starts to tell those around her about her current condition. Her best friend tries to be supportive, the baby's father Blee... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5561 4/8/2008 In the near future, cloning has become a standard practice and though laws have been passed to prevent human clones, underground experiments still take place. The average man on the street has no clue however, although one such man, Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is about to discover the truth. Gibson is a crack helicopter pilot and after a ne... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5560 4/5/2008 Jesse James (Brad Pitt) is still a famous criminal, wanted in ten states and hunted by lawmen of all kinds. But things have changed since Jesse and his brother started up their gang of bandits. Aside from Jesse and Frank (Sam Shephard), the original gang has been decimated by arrests and death. This has forced the brothers to take on new members, n... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5559 4/3/2008
