"THX 1138" DVD
Before George Lucas became famous, he co-wrote and directed an excellent movie titled THX 1138starring Robert Duvall. Now a restored director’s cut of that film is being released as a superb two-disc DVD set loaded with worthwhile bonus materials. A single-disc version is also available, but missing most of the extras. With either DVD version you'll get a first-rate movie and an excellent commentary track, but I recommend the two-disc version because of its terrific bonus materials.

Action Movies
Movies can show fierce battles, high-speed chases, and horrific explosions that most of us will never experience in real life, and I think such sequences properly used make films far more emotionally engaging. Here I've selected movies containing action that is well-integrated into the story. This is my personal, idiosyncratic list of favorites, and it doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom on action movies. For the sake of focus, I've limited my choices to English-language talkies.

I've also tried to sketch an outline of the most productive part of Bergman's filmmaking career.

Brotherhood of the Wolf | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
What I like best about Brotherhood of the Wolves is how it refuses to be confined to a single genre, and you never know quite what to expect next. There are lots of action sequences, but these are mixed nicely with sequences that have the mood of a good werewolf movie and sequences that are like an R-rated Merchant-Ivory film. Read my review of Brotherhood of the Wolves.

Kurosawa Films
Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998) made about 30 movies over a period of 50 years, and he was a major influence on the Spielberg-Coppola-Lucas-Scorsese generation of filmmakers. But it's difficult to think of Kurosawa without Toshiro Mifune coming to mind since together they constitute what is arguably the greatest pairing of director and actor in cinema history. Ordered by theatrical release date, here's my list of the top 10 Kurosawa films available on DVD, and Mifune appears in eight of them:

Top Best Picture Oscar Winners
A friend of mine once suggested a movie's greatness can be measured by how much you think about it after seeing it, along with the way it lingers in your memory over time. I'm not sure if I agree with this, but it's an intriguing idea. The movies here aren't necessarily my favorites of the Best Picture Academy Award winners, but they are all films I've found memorable for various reasons. I've organized this list in reverse chronological order by year of theatrical release.

Foreign Movies
I think foreign-language films can show us things about the world we will never see if we watch only movies where the dialogue is in English. Here's a list of ten of my favorite foreign-language films by ten different filmmakers. Three of the movies are in French, two are in Japanese, two in Italian, and one each in Bengali, Russian, and Swedish. In my opinion, the films listed below are among the greatest in all of cinema.

Netflix vs. Blockbuster
At its core, Netflix's business consists primarily of interfacing with subscribers via the Internet and sending them DVDs via US mail. Its only major competition for this business comes from the mostly similar online rental service run by Blockbuster. The two companies are more or less competitive in terms of price, but there are differences in what customers get.

In the Bedroom | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
I recently watched In the Bedroom at home on DVD, and I really liked the first two-thirds of it, where it is essentially a hard-hitting drama about an American family dealing with tragedy. But eventually the film took a turn into thriller territory that was too abrupt for me.

Babel takes its title from Genesis 11:1-9. The film dramatizes what it means to live in the polyglot world we find ourselves in today.

Top Movies on DVD - 2009
The year 2009 has seen the release of some outstanding movies on DVD, and I've made a list of those I found to be the best. My criteria included the artistic merit of the films, the enhancement value of the bonus materials, and the picture and sound quality. I applied these criteria in a completely subjective fashion, and the result is a personal, idiosyncratic list of my own favorites that doesn't necessarily reflect the popular wisdom.

DVD Pick: "East of Eden"
East of Eden stars James Dean in his first major movie role, and I personally think it is the best film he ever appeared in. Now at last it has become available on DVD. Dean is probably most famous for his performances in Rebel Without a Cause and Giant, but those movies seem to me dated. In contrast, East of Eden still feels fresh to me, and I attribute that primarily to the fact that it was directed by Elia Kazan. Read a DVD review of East of Eden.

Review: "The Notebook" DVD
I would describe the movie The Notebook as an unabashedly romantic tale about love, memories, and death. It's a weepy, but I believe it's one that men can connect with. It's based on a novel by a man, the screenplay was written by a man, and the director is a man. The story chronicles one otherwise-quite-ordinary man's uncompromising love.

The Portuguese-language drama City of God derives its title from the name of the hellish Rio de Janeiro slum in which the film is set.

A Beautiful Mind | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
I thought that A Beautiful Mind played much better on DVD than it did when I saw the movie during its theatrical release.

Read my review of A Beautiful Mind on DVD.
