DVD Review: Fine Cast Adds Substance to Contrived ‘City Island’
Submitted by mattmovieman on September 1, 2010 - 7:39amCHICAGO – There are many reasons why “City Island” shouldn’t work. It’s entirely contrived, from one end of the script to the other. Every gargantuan misunderstanding in the film has been spawned by festering lies, the kind that sitcoms have thrived on since the beginning of television. Yet what works in a 23-minute TV sketch often becomes tedious and exasperating when stretched to feature length.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘Traitor’ Betrays With Exploitation Over Genuine Drama
Submitted by BrianTT on December 18, 2008 - 1:23pmCHICAGO – “Traitor” walks a fine line between escapism and exploitation and essentially falls in the cracks in between, working as neither a thriller nor a topical drama. Great performances from Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Jeff Daniels almost make Jeffrey Nachmanoff’s film worth a rental, but the lackluster Blu-Ray presentation doesn’t help a film that already had some serious problems become more than a marginal recommendation.
