1.Blood Simple starring: John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya, M. Emmet Walsh, Samm-Art Williams directed by: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen January 17, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.00
This early 1980s film started the Coen brothers journey into one of the best filmmaking teams ever. I have been wanting to see this movie for a long time and was happy I landed on this copy. While it is a good transfer to DVD, some of the others who commented on this said many scenes were deleted from the original. Since it was my first time to view this, I loved it and was totally impressed, now I want to see the original in its entirety. The Coen brothers always add a sense of "weirdness" to their films, making them totally unique. This one will keep you interested also. I rate this my third favorite Coen brothers film behind No Country for Old Men and Fargo. The movie has its gore and very well done. Briefly, a Texas bar owner, Marty ... Read More

After watching the Ken Burn's documentary on Mark Twain's life, I looked forward with much anticipation to seeing this film. It was supposed to be a great social commentary about slavery and on the conflict between the Constitution and the reality of slavery. It was supposed to be a kind of mental journey that the viewer took by following the simple logic of a boy, who represented the ideas about black people from that time. And while the movie does repeat all the right lines, "Well, then, I'll go to hell" it doesn't do so with as much power as Ken Burns narrator did. It doesn't set up the real and present tension -- the level of religious faith at that time and just what Huck meant -- how powerfully people of that day feared doing what was wrong and how Huck was meant to really feel it was wrong ...

3.Rage in Harlem starring: Forest Whitaker, Gregory Hines, Robin Givens, Zakes Mokae, Danny Glover directed by: Bill Duke February 07, 1995

I was in college when this came out and Robin's character taught me everything I needed about being sultry. She is a bad ass bitch in the movie, in the vein of a Pam Grier character. The setting is Harlem, where only the feisty, the sly, and those with panache survive. Robin's portrayal of Immabel as slow-slurring, smooth as butter, carefree but calculating seductress is deftly-done. She carries the movie well and it's hard to take your eyes off her. This is crucial, because if Immabel wasn't captivating the movie would fall flat. All the drama hinges on the girl and the gold. There is some annoying, raunchy comedy from some satellite undertakers in the movie. But that's to entertain the droll. Mostly, this movie is a bodacious gangster caper made lovable ... Read More
