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.
