Collection de la DVDs
My collection of DVDs from over the past several years. Why do you care? You shouldn't. This is really just a reminder to myself not to buy anything from the Walmart bargain bin again. (And yes, I have a lot of Gary Oldman films. Because he's awesome.)

- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsHarrison FordGary OldmanGlenn CloseCommunist radicals hijack Air Force One with the U.S. President and his family on board. The Vice President negotiates from Washington D.C., while the President, a veteran, fights to rescue the hostages on board.Oh, the American pride
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsColin FarrellAnthony HopkinsRosario DawsonAlexander, the King of Macedonia and one of the greatest army leaders in the history of warfare, conquers much of the known world.Really underrated, imo
- DirectorMary HarronStarsChristian BaleJustin TherouxJosh LucasA wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.One of the few slasher flicks that I actually love
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.The dawning of badass comic book films
- DirectorAlbert HughesAllen HughesStarsDenzel WashingtonMila KunisRay StevensonA drifter fights his way across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America while protecting a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity's salvation.Again, very underrated. Extremely exciting with interesting visuals.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsEmilio EstevezJudd NelsonMolly RingwaldFive high school students meet in Saturday detention and discover how they have a great deal more in common than they thought.One of my favorite John Hughes films. Funny with lots of heart
- DirectorBob FosseStarsLiza MinnelliMichael YorkHelmut GriemA female girlie club entertainer in Weimar Republic era Berlin romances two men while the Nazi Party rises to power around them.I have yet to finish watching this one, but what I've seen of it is wonderful. Emcee, I love you.
- DirectorJ.P. SchaeferStarsJared LetoLindsay LohanJudah FriedlanderA film about Mark David Chapman in the days leading up to the infamous murder of Beatle John Lennon.Very uncomfortable to watch, but a film that needed to be made. Jared Leto was absolutely creepy.
- DirectorMick JacksonStarsGary OldmanDennis HopperFrances McDormandIn 1955 Florida, a Korean vet has a breakdown and is incarcerated in a "maximum security" mental health prison, where patients are abused.Not great. not great at all. But the acting, especially by Gary Oldman, was phenomenal.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJim CarreyGary OldmanColin FirthAn animated retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.I hope to God that 'mo-cap' is not the way of the future. Seeing celebrity faces become distorted and soulless makes for uneasy viewing. However, it did stay impressively close to the book... Mostly.
- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsGary OldmanKevin BaconTess HarperA Boston defense attorney gets his wealthy client off for murder, then suspects him of killing again.Again, not so great. A successful display of every cliche in the book. And Oldman's hair = wtf.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.Nolan did it again. It's just stunning in every sense of the word.
- DirectorCharley StadlerStarsRobert CarlyleGary OldmanAnouska Bolton LeeTraitors, killers and lovers collide in London.Quirky British Fun
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsGary OldmanWinona RyderAnthony HopkinsThe centuries old vampire Count Dracula comes to England to seduce his barrister Jonathan Harker's fiancée Mina Murray and inflict havoc in the foreign land.Laughably dramatic and way over-the-top. However, a massive improvement to the dull piece of trash that is the book of the same title. In fact, reading the book is much like watching Keanu Reeves' performance in this film.
- DirectorTommy O'HaverStarsAnne HathawayHugh DancyCary ElwesElla is under a spell to be constantly obedient, a fact she must hide from her new stepfamily in order to protect the prince of the land, her friend for whom she's falling.So adorable and fun to watch. I fell in love as soon as they broke out into a spontaneous Queen sing-along.
- DirectorKevin LimaStarsAmy AdamsSusan SarandonJames MarsdenA young maiden in a land called Andalasia, who is prepared to be wed, is sent away to New York City by an evil Queen, where she falls in love with a lawyer.Very cute. James Marsden is very cute.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMatthew BroderickAlan RuckMia SaraA popular high school student, admired by his peers, decides to take a day off from school and goes to extreme lengths to pull it off, to the chagrin of his Dean, who'll do anything to stop him.Who doesn't love this classic? It gets more and more hilarious with every viewing. "Hey batta-batta-batta Sa-wing batta" Jokes, man, jokes.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsBruce WillisMilla JovovichGary OldmanIn the colorful future, a cab driver unwittingly becomes the central figure in the search for a legendary cosmic weapon to keep Evil and Mr. Zorg at bay.Lots of people love it, but it's just not my cup-a-tea. I'd have to be really hyper to really and truly enjoy it.
- DirectorMarc ForsterStarsJohnny DeppKate WinsletJulie ChristieThe story of Sir J.M. Barrie's friendship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan.Aaaaaw this movie is so sweet! It makes me feel like crying just thinking about it! And that Johnny Depp. Mmm-mm-mm.
- DirectorDavid YatesStarsDaniel RadcliffeEmma WatsonRupert GrintWith their warning about Lord Voldemort's return scoffed at, Harry and Dumbledore are targeted by the Wizard authorities as an authoritarian bureaucrat slowly seizes power at Hogwarts.My favorite of the series thus far (I have yet to see the last one). Emotionally gripping with a very powerful story - especially for a magical fantasy written for children
- DirectorChris ColumbusStarsDaniel RadcliffeRupert GrintEmma WatsonHarry Potter lives his second year at Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione when a message on the wall announces that the legendary Chamber of Secrets has been opened. The trio soon realize that, to save the school, it will take a lot of courage.The big hairy spiders scare me :(
- DirectorKenneth BranaghStarsKenneth BranaghJulie ChristieDerek JacobiHamlet, Prince of Denmark, returns home to find his father murdered and his mother remarrying the murderer, his uncle. Meanwhile, war is brewing.My favorite of all the Hamlets! Masterfully put together by Mr. Branagh, who also gives a very dynamic performance as the troubled prince himself.
- DirectorCory EdwardsTodd EdwardsTony LeechStarsAnne HathawayGlenn ClosePatrick WarburtonLittle Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, the Woodsman and Granny all tell the police the events that led up to their encounter.It's cute... I remember it being way funnier when I was younger.
- DirectorTerry GilliamTerry JonesStarsGraham ChapmanJohn CleeseEric IdleKing Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table embark on a surreal, low-budget search for the Holy Grail, encountering many, very silly obstacles.Hello! It's freaking Monty Python! What's not to love? Ni!
- DirectorBernard RoseStarsGary OldmanJeroen KrabbéIsabella RosselliniThe life and death of the legendary Ludwig van Beethoven. Besides all the work he is known for, the composer once wrote a famous love letter to a nameless beloved, and the movie tries to find out who this beloved was--not easy, as Beethoven has had many women in his life.One of my favorite films ever. Just beautiful in every way.
- DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsJustin ChatwinMargarita LevievaMarcia Gay HardenA teenager is left invisible to the living after an attack.I don't remember liking it too much. I think it was lacking something. But the lead is really cute, and the DVD comes with a live 30 Seconds To Mars performance!
- DirectorNeil BurgerStarsEdward NortonJessica BielPaul GiamattiIn turn-of-the-century Vienna, a magician uses his abilities to secure the love of a woman far above his social standing.This movie transports you into another dimension! It's great. I love it, I just love it! In fact, I think I might give it a re-watch tonight...
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Gwyneth PaltrowTerrence HowardAfter being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.Another shining example of the badass comic book flick. Funny, smart, action-packed, and Robert Downey is just awesome.
- DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Mickey RourkeGwyneth PaltrowWith the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.Not as good as the first, but still wonderful
- DirectorJason ReitmanStarsElliot PageMichael CeraJennifer GarnerFaced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes a selfless decision regarding the unborn child.I was not expecting to like this movie, but now it's my go-to feel-good film. The dialogue never gets old. This is certainly the most unique and unconventional thing ever made.
- DirectorJennifer Yuh NelsonStarsJack BlackAngelina JolieJackie ChanPo and his friends fight to stop a peacock villain from conquering China with a deadly new weapon, but first the Dragon Warrior must come to terms with his past.I couldn't stand the first one, but WOW! Numero dos was MIND-BLOWING! Nothing about it was worthy of complaint. I was not expecting to love a modern kids' movie so much... especially after the first one.
- DirectorCraig GillespieStarsRyan GoslingEmily MortimerPaul SchneiderA delusional young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.This is not the outrageous comedy that I was hoping it would be, but instead is a bitter-sweet psychological study. And that is in no way, shape, or form a bad thing. Very charming.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie Portman12-year-old Mathilda is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered. An unusual relationship forms as she becomes his protégée and learns the assassin's trade.Best. Movie. Ever! It's really unlike anything I've ever seen, or probably ever will see. Between the acting, cinematography, and wonderful script, I'm surprised it didn't win more awards. Everyone involved should have won an Oscar... EVERYONE!!!
- DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsNicolas CageEthan HawkeJared LetoAn arms dealer confronts the morality of his work as he is being chased by an INTERPOL Agent.A very though-provoking look into the life of an arms-dealer. Of course, Nick Cage is as wooden as a stump, but it worked for the character he was playing.
- DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsGary OldmanWilliam HurtMatt LeBlancThe Robinson family was going into space to fight for a chance for humanity. Now they are fighting to live long enough to find a way home.I WANT MY 4 BUCKS BACK!!!!!!!! shame on you, Gary Oldman!! SHAME!
- DirectorMark WatersStarsLindsay LohanJonathan BennettRachel McAdamsCady Heron is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new school, until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.DANNY DEVITO, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsGuy PearceCarrie-Anne MossJoe PantolianoA man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer.Seriously, Christopher Nolan never disappoints. This has been one of my favs since before I was allowed to watch PG-13s. Extremely smart and all-around perfectly put together.
- DirectorBaz LuhrmannStarsNicole KidmanEwan McGregorJohn LeguizamoA poor Bohemian poet in 1890s Paris falls for a beautiful courtesan and nightclub star coveted by a jealous duke.My high school obsession. I know every wonderful song off by heart, and come to think of it, most of the lines as well. This movie has everything: Truth, beauty, freedom, and above all, love.
- DirectorJaco Van DormaelStarsJared LetoSarah PolleyDiane KrugerA boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible.This seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it type of deal, and I for one LOVE IT. It's bizarrely artistic, mind-boggling, and stunningly beautiful. And I absolutely adore the song choices.
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsAudrey HepburnRex HarrisonStanley HollowayIn 1910s London, snobbish phonetics professor Henry Higgins agrees to a wager that he can make crude flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, presentable in high society.What a classic. Audrey Hepburn is gorgeous, and oh-em-gee so are the costumes. As for the songs, simply wonderful. 'OOOOOOH 'Enry 'Iggins!!'
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsJodie FosterKristen StewartForest WhitakerA divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly-purchased house's safe room when three men break-in, searching for a missing fortune.Really quite good. I loved seeing Jared Leto as a villain, and Kristen Stewart - wait for it - SHOWED EMOTIONS!!! Seems before she fell in love with a pasty vegan sparkle-fairy, Bella could actually act!
- DirectorJorge BlancoJavier AbadMarcos MartínezStarsDwayne JohnsonSeann William ScottJessica BielAn alien civilization is invaded by Astronaut Chuck Baker, who believes that the planet was uninhabited. Wanted by the military, Baker must get back to his ship before it goes into orbit without him.Meh.
- DirectorSusan StromanStarsNathan LaneMatthew BroderickUma ThurmanAfter putting together another Broadway flop, down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom in a get-rich-quick scheme to put on the world's worst show.Ridiculous, hammy acting, but what a joy to watch.
- DirectorCatherine HardwickeStarsAmanda SeyfriedLukas HaasGary OldmanSet in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.Not quite as bad as everyone said it was, but not so good either. It's like a 13 year old girl's bedtime fantasy.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsEllen BurstynJared LetoJennifer ConnellyThe drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island people are shattered when their addictions run deep..Made with a vision and chilling to the bone. I first saw this about 5 years ago, and I'm still haunted by it to this day. It doesn't help that the soundtrack is used everywhere these days. What a powerful piece of music!
- DirectorBibo BergeronDon PaulJeffrey KatzenbergStarsKevin KlineKenneth BranaghRosie PerezTwo swindlers get their hands on a map to the fabled city of gold, El Dorado.My fav animated film. It's just so much fun to watch, especially in glorious 2D classic animation!
- DirectorMel BrooksStarsCary ElwesRichard LewisRoger ReesA spoof of Robin Hood in general, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) in particular.Unlike many Robin Hoods, this one can speak with an English accent. Golden.
- DirectorFrederik Du ChauStarsJessalyn GilsigCary ElwesAndrea CorrAn adventurous girl, a young blind hermit, and a goofy two-headed dragon race to find the lost sword Excalibur to save King Arthur and Camelot from disaster.Guess what? I actually really like this one. It's very entertaining and well-meaning. But I still can't believe that "The Prayer" originated from scene with a girl being chased by metal monsters riding warthogs.
- DirectorPeter MedakStarsGary OldmanLena OlinWallace WoodA womanizing, crooked cop on the payroll of the mafia is confronted with the reality of his double life after he is asked to kill a beautiful and ruthless Russian gangster.Cliched, but still very good. However, the wailing noir soundtrack is a pain.
- DirectorBaz LuhrmannStarsLeonardo DiCaprioClaire DanesJohn LeguizamoShakespeare's famous play is updated to the hip modern suburb of Verona still retaining its original dialogue.Mmmmmm... I don't really like it. Too frenetic and, honestly, while modernizing the play while keeping the traditional lines was interesting, it didn't really work for me.
- DirectorTom StoppardStarsGary OldmanTim RothRichard DreyfussTwo minor characters from the play 'Hamlet' stumble around unaware of their scripted lives and unable to deviate from them.I absolutely adore this off-beat classic! It's quirky and dryly hilarious, plus Gary Oldman and Tim Roth have amazing chemistry. (And Gary's freakin adorable)
- DirectorRoland JofféStarsDemi MooreGary OldmanRobert DuvallAn affair between a young woman and a pastor has disastrous consequences.I really don't understand why everyone hates this so much. In my opinion, it's beautifully made. Who cares if it strays from the book. The book's not that great! Just enjoy it for what it is!
- DirectorDavid KoeppStarsJohnny DeppMaria BelloJohn TurturroA successful writer in the midst of a painful divorce is stalked at his remote lake house by a would-be scribe who accuses him of plagiarism.So fantastic. 'Listen to me you ignorant hick, we were having a divorce. D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Di-vorce!'
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.This one is all kinds of wonderful. Everything that a prison film should be.
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsRobert Downey Jr.Jude LawRachel McAdamsDetective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.I can't really tell if it's good or bad, cos it's just too SEXY!
- DirectorPhil JoanouStarsSean PennEd HarrisGary OldmanA Boston cop is recruited to return to his hometown and infiltrate the mob ran by his best friend's brother.Hideously underrated gangster flick with phenomenal performances all around - especially that Mr. Oldman as Jackie.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterAlan RickmanThe legendary tale of a barber who returns from wrongful imprisonment to 1840s London, bent on revenge for the rape and death of his wife, and resumes his trade while forming a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett.I love musicals, and this is by far one of the best. It's so morbid, yet artfully done, and I love the use of actors who aren't necessarily singers. They all sounded great and it made the film seem more real and gritty somehow.
- DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerJack BlackRobert Downey Jr.Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.Not the best, but LOL-worthy all the same.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsChristian SlaterPatricia ArquetteDennis HopperIn Detroit, a pop-culture nerd steals cocaine from his new wife's pimp and tries to sell it in Hollywood, prompting the mobsters who own the drugs to pursue the couple.This is just awesome. It's edgy, romantic, thrilling, and the cameos are hard-core brilliant.
- DirectorJamie BlanksStarsJared LetoAlicia WittRebecca GayheartA college student suspects a series of bizarre deaths are connected to certain urban legends.I keep this one in my quarantine case along with Lost in Space
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsJackie Earle HaleyPatrick WilsonCarla GuginoIn a version of 1985 where superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach on the trail of a conspiracy that will change the course of history.A great adaption of a great graphic novel!
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanIan McKellenIn a world where mutants (evolved super-powered humans) exist and are discriminated against, two groups form for an inevitable clash: the supremacist Brotherhood, and the pacifist X-Men.Loooooooove it
- DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerOwen WilsonChristine TaylorAt the end of his career, a clueless fashion model is brainwashed to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia.Merman. *cough-cough* MerMaaaan!!!!!
