1.From the Earth to the Moon (6pc) starring: Tom Hanks, Krista Adair, Mason Adams, Tom Amandes, Brandon Ambrose directed by: David Carson, David Frankel, Frank Marshall, Gary Fleder, Graham Yost June 08, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.94
This is one of the most well done documentaries/dramas I have ever seen. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

2.Kiss the Girls starring: Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Cary Elwes, Alex McArthur, Tony Goldwyn directed by: Gary Fleder May 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
What I dislike is the playing of audience's worst side. The antihero status given to serial killers is a bad thing ( in moral and social terms). The publicity and books about them may sell; true crime magazines go back in the 1800's, but making the methods and motivations so public may encourage others to do the same. In this movie the female lead is done very well, as is the staging and dialog. The movie is very well done; it just have very few socially redeeming qualities besides being a 'seller' at the box office.

3.Runaway Jury starring: John Cusack, Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Bruce Davison directed by: Gary Fleder May 25, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.39
This film squanders the considerable talents of several A-list actors with an unbelievable plot and a predictable and moralizing ending. It's not that I disagree with the theme - I'm no fan of guns - but the concept of the film is simply ludicrous. I won't give away any details, but suffice it to say that this film thinks that conspiracy - no matter how silly, and twists - no matter how nonsensical, will somehow add up to an engaging court drama. The original script must have been pretty good for these distinguished actors to sign on to the project. I guess someone ran away with that version, because the final product is terrible.

4.Homicide Life on the Street: Subway starring: Clark Johnson directed by: Clark Johnson, Jace Alexander, Joe Berlinger, Lee Bonner, Martin Campbell February 22, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $39.95
This is extraordinary acting - vincent D'Onofrio, Andre Braugher (always fabulous in this series) and the other great "Homicide" cast - but this story is amazing. Seemed almost more like a stage production than film/television. I saw the story as a metaphor - life, death, the meaning, the randomness versus design of it all, responsibility/lack thereof, the train....all of it. Extremely powerful in every way. Original, powerful, brilliant work.

5.Impostor (Dir) starring: Shane Brolly, Vincent D'Onofrio, Gary Sinise, Madeleine Stowe, Tony Shalhoub directed by: Gary Fleder April 08, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.15
Perhaps I am getting jaded, but I rarely find sci-fi films that I like much. There is nothing wrong or ridiculous about this film: it is an identity question, where Sinise is apparently mistaken for a robotic baddie sent from mysterious aliens at war with Earth. He gets into quite an adventure, running around to exonerate himself and in the process revealing a pretty complex (and unfortunate) society. As is typical with PKD, you are not sure who the good and bad guys are, so the viewer is kept guessing. Alas, when I got to the end, I wasn't that surprised, indeed I kind of wanted it to end because I didn't feel I had entered this particular future with much enthusiasm. It is a pretty run of the mill suspense/thriller hard sci fi.

6.Michael Jordan Air Time starring: Tim Ahern, Lisa Cohrs, Nicole Cohrs, Mary Otis, Sherrie M. Quander directed by: Gary Fleder February 24, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is a wonderful Michael Jordan Highlight video focusing on one of his best years.

7.Don't Say a Word starring: Michael Douglas, Sean Bean, Brittany Murphy, Skye McCole Bartusiak, Guy Torry directed by: Gary Fleder August 20, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $9.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.48 You Save: $0.50 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
Don't Say a Word is a confusing suspense film. There is absolutely no logic from the criminals perspective or anyone else for that matter. Michael Douglas looks so bored in this, his weakest performance ever. Brittany Murphy is the only thing captivating about this film, that girl is a rare talent. I cannot recommend this film because the plot is pointless, skip this one!

8.Things to Do in Denver starring: Andy Garcia, Christopher Walken, Christopher Lloyd, William Forsythe, Bill Nunn directed by: Gary Fleder July 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
So it's a Tarantino knock-off. So it's too self-aware and big for its britches. For crysakes, just sit down, pop it in the DVD player and suspend your disbelief for 90 minutes or so. This movie is just plain fun to watch. It's on the very short list of movies I actually want to own.

9.Companion, The starring: Kathryn Harrold, Bruce Greenwood, Talia Balsam, Brion James, Joely Fisher directed by: Gary Fleder April 18, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.88
I loved this futuristic movie. I would love to have a robot like Jeffrey to do all the manly duties without the hassle. This is definitely a chick flick.

10.Homicide Life on the Street: The Beginning starring: Clark Johnson directed by: Clark Johnson, Jace Alexander, Joe Berlinger, Lee Bonner, Martin Campbell February 22, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.26
Typically if I want to get a friend's reaction to my favorite drama ever, I'll have them sit down and watch these three episodes with me. They represent some of the finest acting and cinematography I've seen in quite some time. 1) The Pilot: "Gone for Goode" - It's Tim Bayliss' (Kyle Secor) first day on the Homicide Unit commanded by Al Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) and the introduction to the cast of characters begins: John Munch (Richard Belzer), the cynical jaded but dedicated cop partnered with the "close to retirement" Stan Bolander (Ned Beatty), Meldrick Lewis (Clark Johnson) is partnered with Steve Crosetti (Jon Polito) and Kay Howard (Melissa Leo) is partnered with Beau Felton (Daniel Baldwin). The wildcard in the unit is Frank Pembleton, the unit's best detective who likes to work alone. Lewis and Crosetti ... Read More
