  1. The Experiment (Blu-Ray)

    DVD Verdict &bull Aug 30, 2010

    The 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) is one of the more famous behavioral science experiments of the late 20th Century. About two dozen young men were tasked with role playing guards or inmates at a makeshift "prison." Although there were ground rules and researchers were on hand, the experiment quickly got out of hand, with many of the men playing "guards" taking it all a bit too seriously, and the "prisoners" becoming more demoralized than even their real-life counterparts would be. It didn't help that the researchers took an active part in the role play rather than remain observers. The… Full Story »

    Forest Whitaker as Ugandan President Idi Amin in a scene from the movie "The Last King of Scotland." Would the movie world be the same without " Happy-Go-Lucky," "Man on Wire" or "Gosford Park"?

At this point in his strange Hollywood adventure, he will take fame and opportunity as it comes and will happily stare down conventional notions of credibility. But that seems to happen to me a lot and I kind of like it. All or nothing. If it's going to shut down, so… Full Story »

    CHICAGO a aPaying homagea and aripping offa are not the same thing. A picture like Christopher Nolanas aInceptiona gathers fragments of our collective cinematic memories, and places them in an entirely fresh dreamscape of the mind. Miguel Sapochnikas aRepo Mena assembles pieces of other movies and claims them as its own creation. The film opens like aBlade Runner,a ends like aBrazil,a and looks suspiciously like plagiarism. Even the title is derivative, evoking memories of Alex Coxas far more interesting 1984 sci-fi/action/comedy, aRepo Man.a Yet while that film was… Full Story »

    Our Family Wedding takes the very familiar theme of an upcoming wedding and adds in an interracial twist.
