Thirteen DVD Review
I found myself mesmerized by this little indie drama, and I was particularly impressed by the expressive faces and naturalistic acting styles of Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed. As much as I liked Thirteen, it's not perfect. It seems to me stronger on sociology than on poetry. Read a review of Thirteen on DVD.

"Bowling for Columbine" DVD Review
While I don't entirely endorse Michael Moore’s views and methods, I rate Bowling for Columbine the best documentary I’ve ever seen.

"When We Were Kings" DVD
I found When We Were Kings to be highly entertaining, but I learned very little and didn’t gain much insight.
