Swimmers Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Swimmers is a beautiful tribute to the Eastern Shore of Mary
I have anxiously awaited this movie for over a year and finally, through NETFLIX, viewed it two weeks ago. Sadler's intimate portrait of a family facing the universal dilemma of economic hardship is a beautiful and moving tribute to life on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Aside from the superb cast (including Maryland native Shawn Hatosy and Tony Award winner Cherry Jones, the cinemetography of the area plays a leading role. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Excellent is the only adjective
There is nothing to say about this film except that it is excellent in every way: it is the perfect balance of acting, cinematography, music, narration, story, setting, drama, poignancy, character--I could go on and on. Doug Sadler has managed to capture the specificity of Maryland's Eastern Shore and the universality of family life during a time of crisis. I can't wait for the DVD so I can see it over and over.

Robert Costanzo is one of those longtime character actors. Audiences instantly recognize him but they don't know his name. A veteran of small parts in more than 200 movies and television series, including SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, NYPD BLUE, FRIENDS, and THE FLAMINGO KID, Costanzo finally gets his chance to play the lead in Philip Frank Messina's WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE..., in which he stars as Johnny DiMartino, a longtime character actor who's finally up for the lead role in a major motion picture, Martin Scorsese's biopic of mobster Al Capone. Johnny is a happy family guy; WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE... opens as he and his wife, Hannah (Amy Madigan), are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, with best friends Armand Minetti (David Strathairn), Dorian Mastandrea (Jon Tenney), and Steve Hersh (Adam Arkin), his poker-playing buddies and fellow character actors. They all fawn over morose producer Maurice Melnick (Bill Murray), who is only there for the free food.

$31.29
Based on the 1954 children's book by Dr. Seuss, HORTON HEARS A WHO! is a 2008 computer-animated Hollywood update of the beloved illustrated tale. Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey), a thoughtful elephant living in the jungle of Nool, discovers that an entire society, Whoville, rests inside a speck. He gently rests it on a clover flower, and searches for a place where it will be safe from the perils of the larger world. Establishing contact with Whoville's befuddled mayor (Steve Carell), Horton faces disbelief from his animal friends, including his blue mouse pal, Morton (Seth Rogen), and unwittingly incurs the wrath of an uptight kangaroo (Carol Burnett), setting the playful pachyderm on a journey to the most remote parts of Nool, with malicious vultures and monkeys not far behind.
Executive produced by Chris Wedge, the creator of ICE AGE, and directed by Steve Martino and Jimmy Hayward, this CGI take on Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel) is the first 21st-century adaptation to hew closely to the artist's true spirit and visual style. While Carrey, Carell, Burnett, and the rest of the vocal talent (also including Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, and Jonah Hill) contribute lively performances, the animation is the real focus of the film, displaying a stunning array of colorful characters and landscapes that capture Seuss's wonderfully whimsical aesthetic. Though ...

Swimmers DVD
Controversial director Catherine Breillat (ROMANCE, FAT GIRL) delivers her most ambitious film yet with THE LAST MISTRESS. Adapted from the novel by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, the film is set in 19th-century France, when the world was a seemingly much more innocent place. Underneath the surface, however, lurk infidelities and other dark secrets. Ryno de Marigny (Fu'ad Ait Aattou) is about to marry the beautiful and sweet Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida). He is so devoted to her that he has decided to make a clean break from his ongoing affair with the tempestuous Vellini (Asia Argento). One day, Hermangarde's grandmother, the Comtesse d'Artelles (Yolande Moreau), convinces Ryno to tell of his affair with Vellini, which he does. By the end of his story, even she is concerned that he is in too deep with Vellini and that the couple's torrid romance will continue. Nonetheless, Ryno and Hermangarde get married, but Vellini's lure proves too ...
