An aspiring reporter gets a break when she gets the scoop of a lifetime. The catch is that it comes from a ghost, while she is taking part in a magic trick. Her and the magician set out on a journey and it's a wildly enjoyable one.

The Royal Tenenbaums Criterion Collection

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The ensemble cast in Wes Anderson's third film is beyond spectacular. It's truly amazing how such a wide range of actors can come together and be equally quirky and believable. Everyone should see this at least once. As it is part of The Criterion Collection, it's got lots of extras.

Little Children

3 people recommended this item

Description

I don't really know how to describe this movie and still make it sound watchable. So I'll just say this, it's a brilliant film with an oscar nominated roll from Winslet. Ultimately, it explores, at a deep level, society and love in suburbia.

Love Actually

Description

I love the myriad stories of love, requited and unrequited the stories are realistic and yet beautiful. Does anyone else wish they were Kiera Knightly in this film?

Stand By Me (Special Edition)

First to recommend

7 people recommended this item

Description

Any guy can relate to this film. It's as simple as that. Based on a short story by Stephen King, this is adventure of four young boys who head out to find a missing body. A truly endearing film that will leave almost every guy a tad nostalgic.

Vanilla Sky

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Even though it is an, almost, identical remake of the Spanish film, "Open Your Eyes," Vanilla Sky is sure to leave you completely satisfied. In fact, the one part that is actually significantly changed, the opening scene, turned out to be one of the most memorable of the entire film. Bottom line, it's pretty, it's fun and it's an adventure.

The Squid and the Whale (Special Edition) DVD

2 people recommended this item

Description

Many of us may know Noah Baumbach as the director of "Margot and the Wedding" or as a writer on "A Life Aquatic." However, his true masterpiece has to be the completely dysfunctional family found in "The Squid and the Whale."

Once DVD

Description

Unorthodox, beautiful. That's all you need to know. The right decision was made, I feel, about hiring musicians who can act, not actors who can sing. It's great. Watch it.

Michael Clayton

3 people recommended this item

Description

Shattering all notions of what some attorneys will do and risk to see justice served, "Michael Clayton" is a legal thriller with heart and depth. And Tom Wilkinson delivers perhaps the finest performance of his career as the disillusioned corporate defense attorney.
