Donnie Darko (2001)
The directors commentary
This is one of the best films i've seen. and it obviously has struck a chord with IMDb fans. I have talked to people who did not like this movie but I think Kevin smith got it right when he said this movie just spoke to some people, and even if it didn't I would hope people could appreciate it. And what did people think of the directors commentary. I'm completely hooked, and it's great Kevin Smith added his input, although he comes across as a little self indulgent at times. But excellent feature, not as good as the American beauty commentary, but useful and engaging. With the birth of these great directorial features, why go to film school!
California Dreams (1992)
Another great example from NBC
What can I say, I started watching the show when I was 12 and 10 years later I still love every episode,a great example of teen comedy and entertainment. Real issues with respect for the designated age group, provides honest moments into the teen psyche while providing a light hearted take on high school situations that remain real and believable. What separates this show from other great offerings such as saved by the bell is the music. Although middle of the road pop rock is not to everyones taste the music is fantastically written by Steve Tyrell, and incredibly well produced. The music highlights the shows themes and are as infectiously catchy as they are entertaining. Critiscims such as the perfect America of the 1950s are misplaced as these miss the aim of the show, to represent teen life without degrading it to teenage sex and drug abuse. California dreams is a clean, entertaining family show which never fails to disappoint. Great cast, great songs, great show!
Rounders (1998)
great insight into the poker world
A great cast cast with great insight into poker world, Matt Damons love of the game is clearly reflected in a typically great Damon performance. The movie demonstrates great understanding of the poetry of poker, particularly Texas hold em while reflecting the dark underbelly of the rounder profession. Charismatic performances, especially from the great Martin Landau, and tight script all add up to a great poker classic. Although some elements may seem unrealistic, these moments are easily forgivable from adept performances and poker understanding. All novice poker players should watch and card conessoiurs should find the references and respect for the game pleasing, well worth watching!
