"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" Two-Disc DVD Set
The 1982 version of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a great classic film, and the 2002 update is the best version of this movie yet. Read Ivana Redwine's review and overview of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on DVD.
"Minority Report" Two-Disc DVD Set
In Minority Report, Steven Spielberg has created a fascinating portrait of the near-future. The film is filled with thought-provoking and resonant ideas, and it also works as an action thriller. Read a review and overview of Minority Report on DVD.
"The Matrix Reloaded" DVD Review
I was dazzled by the visual sense of The Matrix Reloaded"and by its highly stylized action sequences, but I didn’t become emotionally involved because the film was more about style than substance.
"The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season" DVD Review
Interesting characters, an evocative mix of horror, sci-fi, and film noir, along with a visual sense that is as imaginative as a feature film make for a thoroughly enjoyable DVD collection. Read a DVD review of The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season.
"Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" Two-Disc DVD Set
Although I found "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" to be flawed, I thoroughly enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. Read a review and overview of the Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones two-disc DVD set.
“Solaris” (2002) DVD Review
Solaris is sci-fi without action sequences, razzle-dazzle special effects, or gee-whiz high-tech gadgetry, but I found the movie to be very intellectually engaging.
"Solaris" (1972) DVD Review
Even though there’s little action or impressive special effects, to my mind this movie is cerebral science fiction at its very best because of the humanistic and moral issues it explores. Read a DVD review and overview of "Solaris," the 1972 movie co-written and directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.
