4 stars It appeared to be based on early American biase
I enjoyed the movie because it seemed to articulate American attitudes towards the black people of the country. It was also good to see that there was a household that tried to come to their rescue.

5 stars Engrossing, incricate and compelling.
This movie shows a much overlooked period of time in a part of the country (NYC) that often is not thought of when stories are told about pre-depression/post slavery USA a big plus is getting to see Elizabeth McGovern fully nude for 5 minutes straight...

5 stars Classic
Really wasn't "so much" about the Ragtime music, but it was an element. Ragtime culture had less to do with the movie, but the story lines? Oh yeah. This'll keep you watching.

Aguirre, The Wrath Of God DVD (1973)

Ragtime film

$12.85

Based on the journals of Brother Gaspar de Carvajal, AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD is director Werner Herzog's hallucinatory tale of Spanish colonialists searching for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, in 16th-century Peru. When the travellers reach an impasse, a scouting party is assembled to search for any traces of the mythical empire. As they attempt to forge their way through the dense jungle, more and more of the party falls ill while their ruthless leader, Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), grows increasingly insane. Widely considered to be Herzog's finest film, AGUIRRE, which shares much in common with Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, highlights the director's visionary approach to filmmaking. Like Coppola's film, accounts of AGUIRRE's shooting ...

Sydney (Philip Baker Hall), a mysterious professional gambler, befriends John (John C. Reilly), a young man in trouble, and teaches him the ways of making a living in the casinos of Reno. John gets involved with Clementine (Gwyneth Paltrow), a pretty waitress who doubles as a prostitute, and Jimmy (Samuel L. Jackson), a two-faced criminal. When trouble erupts, suddenly Sydney has to rescue his young friend, but a secret from his past threatens to destroy everything he has tried to build up. Director Paul Thomas Anderson's highly acclaimed debut feature (based on the films of Jonathan Demme and John Cassavetes) is a tight, intricate film noir character study with a more disciplined plot than his later, more expansive films. The film also features excellent work from his four actors, particularly Hall as ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a glow-in-the-dark condom, allowing him to engage in a condom duel with her jealous, similarly clad rock-star boyfriend. Eventually, Zach turns to fatherly bartender Barney (Vince Gardenia), who should have long ago cut off his bar tab, and psychiatrist Dr. Westford (choreographer Michael Kidd), and both tell him to stop destroying himself through drink. Ritter rings some ...

Grapes Of Wrath DVD (1940)

John Ford's memorable screen version of John Steinbeck's epic novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter, Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen), a neighbor now nearly mad with grief, tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine), Tom finds his extended family, including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell), packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country, their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California, the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves and little in the way of potential work. Yet, ever resilient, they maintain their dignity, hoping for the best. Among the talented cast, Fonda does perhaps the best work of his career, as does Qualen in the film's most haunting sequence. Director of photography Gregg Toland captures the suffering and the weathered, luminous nobility of the Joads and the other uprooted, drifting families, creating striking images equal to the best work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. In a stirring film that stands as a microcosm of the depression experience of millions, Ford gives poverty a human face in a way that was rare then and even rarer in the decades to follow as Hollywood ...

Ragtime review

$23.39

Comedian Kathy Griffin tries to climb the ladder of fame in this Emmy-nominated reality show. A self-proclaimed resident of the D-list, Griffin attempts to claw her way to celebrity status armed with her self-deprecating wit and the help of her devoted husband Matt, her assistant Jessica, and her wine-swilling mom and dad. When that's not enough, Griffin has her two gay best friends, Dennis and Tony, to aid in her quest. The first season finds Griffin suffering through talk show gigs, bargaining with fellow comedian Ray Romano for charity appearances, and enduring a humiliating celebrity auction, all with side-splitting results. Griffin isn't afraid to laugh at her self and her lack of A-list status, and the audience is always laughing with her. In addition to all six episodes of the first season, this release also includes the comedian's special KATHY GRIFFIN ISNOT NICOLE KIDMAN and a preview of season two. This DVD features ...
