Blu-ray Review: High Crimes

19 September 2009 4:10 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

“I want the truth.” “You can’t handle the truth.” Have you heard these words before? If so, then you’ve probably seen “A Few Good Men,” starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. And, if you liked “A Few Good Men,” you will probably enjoy “High Crimes,” starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, because “High Crimes” is almost a thematic carbon copy. In “High Crimes,” Tom (James Caviezel) and Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) are trying desperately to have a baby. When an explosion goes off in Union Square, Tom is taken into custody by military police. Claire, a top-notch lawyer, decides to sideline a potential promotion at her law firm to help her husband. Tom is accused of deserting the military, after he was accused of executing nine people on a mission. He claims that he didn’t commit the crime, and that he is being framed by an order »

[DVD Review] High Crimes

18 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

It’s not often you hear about a military legal thriller rocking the multiplexes and taking home a huge box office haul. Nor is it common to hear anyone make reference to a military legal thriller made after 1992 nevermind quote one. You know full well which military legal drama has the most going for it: A Few Good Men. Every film that’s followed in its genre footsteps since has felt like little more than a legal drama written by someone with an odd affinity for the peculiarities of military law. It’s not their fault – the Rob Reiner and Aaron Sorkin duo that made A Few Good Men such a quotable powerhouse has few if any rivals of similar ability. Courage Under Fire, which followed four years on the heels of the Reiner-Sorkin trendsetter, managed to muster a little bit of repute on its own, but proved to be »

DVD Links: DVD News | Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed No major new reviews this week, but if you have some time I too a rather extensive look at the Warner Bros. Archive title Don't Be Afraid of the Dark yesterday. It's a film being remade with Guillermo del Toro producing and may be of interest as well as it will introduce you to Warner's attempt to creatively distribute some of their never-before-released titles on DVD.

Ask the Flying Monkey! (June 24, 2009)

Q: Just wondering if there is any information on Star Trek hottie Anton Yelchin's orientation? -- Logan, Terre Haute, In

Anton Yelchin as Star Trek's Ensign Checkov

A: I confess I was confused by the casting of Yelchin as Chekov, because unlike the rest of the new Enterprise crew, he doesn’t look anything like original actor Walter Koenig, not even when you really, really squint.

On the other hand, Yelchin deliberately hams up the Russian accent, just like Koenig, apparently for comic relief. (Interestingly, both Yelchin and Koenig really are of Russian decent, with parents who emigrated to the U.S. Yelchin even has an accent in real life.)

The 20-year-old actor (who also appears in Terminator Salvation) has indicated in interviews that he’s straight.

Michael Shannon Takes Us Down Revolutionary Road

1 June 2009 7:26 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The actor talks about his Oscar-nominated role, working with the amazing cast and upcoming projects

Michael Shannon has been a very versatile actor to keep an eye on for quite some time now, and he has an Academy Award nomination to prove it now. After cutting his teeth on small film and TV in the 90s, Shannon started to make his presence felt at the turn of the century with roles in such films like Tigerland, Pearl Harbor, Vanilla Sky, High Crimes and 8 Mile. The actor hasn't stopped working since and his latest film, Revolutionary Road, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting actor for his tremendous turn as John Givings, comes to DVD and Blu-ray on June 2. I had the chance to speak with Shannon today about his role and the spate of future films he has lined up, and here's what he had to say.
