Superb on Multiple Levels, Closes Beautifully, February 27, 2008

George Clooney

There are some really fine reviews. I will just say I consider this a five star film, not the average of four as shown. It was so very good that I paused it each time I had to get up for anything, and then watched the last four segments again this morning to ensure I had not missed anything.

At three different levels, a small boy and his dad talking about a fictional empire, at the street level, and at the strategic level of big law firms, I found this film extremely engaging and worthy.

For the first time I can remember, I actually read all of the closing credits because the producers had the brilliant idea of having Clooney take a taxi ride while his face did this whole range of reflective expressions that kept me glued to the screen.

Here, in priority order, are ten other DVDs I recommend–the first, Fight Club, is not at all what you would expect from the title, and I only watched it on my teen-ager's recommendation. He was right, it's a DVD for intelligent people. All these I list I own and recommend for purchase, not just rental.
Fight Club (Widescreen Edition)
The Departed (Widescreen Edition)
Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated Edition)
The Lives of Others
