Gary Gray |
Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles; Deluxe Edition Thoroughly charming and totally hilarious day-in-the-life comedy in which co-writer Ice Cube plays the stoic Craig opposite Chris Tucker's Smokey, a brilliantly rendered hyperactive marijuana enthusiast. The two twentysomethings, Craig recently wrongly fired and Smokey terminally slacking and scamming, barely make it through one highly eventful day. Eloquent commentary on themes like community, family, friendship, and violence is seamlessly blended with lighter treatments of young romance, bathroom emergencies, nosy neighbors and much more. Casually impeccable performances by the entire cast make this film a standout. Color by Foto-kem. In Dolby SR.
Rated BBFC 15 by the British Board of Film Classification.

This review is for a different format. Always a Good Laugh
This movie is so rad, and no matter how many times you watch it is still a great, funnyass movie. This is definitely my favorite of Chris Tucker's, and his character, Smokey, is the best part of this movie. If you're into weed or not, either way you will luv this movie, because it is really funny and actually has a great storyline. If you only saw Next Friday, you definitely need to see the original because it is so much better (mostly because of Chris Tucker's antics) Highly recommended

Kraftwerk reached a creative peak on this 1977 masterpiece, whose second side was entirely devoted to a breathtaking aural recreation of an intercontinental train journey. The first side featured the shimmering beauty of "Europe Endless" alongside the eerie, dislocated vocals of "The Hall of Mirrors" and "Showroom Dummies," the latter track demonstrating the band's often unappreciated sly humour. Representing one of the pinnacles of 70s electronic music, it was a notable irony that ...

Featuring a dozen of the best bubblegum hits from the late '70s, this compilation makes for nice lightweight listening. Some songs, such as Parliament's dancefloor classic "Flashlight," still sound as good now as they did the first time around. Others, such as "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb, make perfect background noise at keg parties and wedding receptions. Ultra-smooth soul kings Marvin Gaye and Isaac Hayes each contribute a track. Then there are a handful of contributions from ...

$34.55
Like a lot of the best family entertainment, DINOSAURS was fun for both kids and their parents. Children couldn't get enough of the slapstick humor, while adults enjoyed the show's satire of contemporary society. This sitcom centered on the Sinclairs, a family of dinosaurs led by father Earl. Though he was surrounded by devoted wife Fran, sassy daughter Charlene, and rebellious teen Robbie, the real star of the show was Baby Sinclair. The talkative tyke would famously bash his father on the head while screaming, "Not the mama!" Jim Henson Productions brought the creatures to life, and they featured the vocal talents of sitcom stars ...
| | Bee Gees Greatest CDs (1979) Bonus Tracks; Limited Edition; Digipak
Friday film
$18.05
Contrary to popular misconception, the bulk of the material the Bee Gees recorded was not really disco but soul-pop, inspired by the mid-'70s Philly International sound. The group's trademark high harmonies and fluttering falsetto voices lent themselves well to the style; they'd been exploring their variant on American R&B ever since the Otis-intended "To Love Somebody." This compilation concentrates exclusively on songs from the band's reincarnation as dancefloor deities.
While it's impossibly to divorce such songs as "You Should Be Dancing" and "Stayin' Alive" from a gyrating, hair-sprayed John Travolta, it should be remembered that the music came before the movie, and the Gibb brothers' disco outings are simultaneously classier and more urgent than most. The group really shines on the lovely R&B ballads, the best of which ("How Deep is Your Love," "Too Much Heaven") bear a beauty that's truly transcendent, and could stand proudly alongside any American soul of the period.
Additional personnel includes: Albhy Galuten (conductor); Joe Farrell (tenor saxophone); Joe Lala, George Perry, Stephen Stills (percussion); Ray Baretto (congas).

Friday DVD
$23.85
With the hilarious, award-winning series THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, creators James L. Brooks and Allan Burns built a platform on which Moore could finally display her skills as a comedian. Prior to the show, Moore had been known to audiences as Dick Van Dyke's sweetly neurotic wife; with the new series, she emerged as a comedian in her own right, playing an independent, quirky reporter at WJM-TV, Minneapolis's lowest-rated evening news show. Moore's Mary Richards shines alongside several equally amusing characters like Lou (Edward Asner), Murray (Gavin MacLeod), Ted (Ted Knight), Phyllis (Cloris Leachman), and Rhoda (Valerie Harper). Asner, Leachman, ...

Diane Keaton lights up the screen as an overbearing, matchmaking single mother in this slightly offbeat romantic comedy from director Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS, THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS). The film is a lot of fun, with both Keaton and Mandy Moore delivering energetic performances as a loveable and pretty believable mother-daughter team. After seeing two of her three stunning daughters (Piper Perabo, Lauren Graham) happily marry, Daphne Wilder (Keaton) focuses all her worries on Milly (Moore), her youngest, most insecure, and unlucky-in-love offspring. Twentysomething Milly has got her career as a chef figured out, but is clueless when it comes to love, attracting a never-ending slew of married, cheating, and closeted men. Taking matters into her own hands, Daphne places a personal ad for her daughter, interviewing the suitors herself and settling on one particularly promising young man named Jason. Meanwhile, clueless to her mother's plans, Milly starts to fall for Johnny, a cute musician who in spite of treating Milly like gold, is hardly what Daphne has in mind for her daughter's future. As Milly becomes increasingly involved with both men, Daphne must face whether maybe she could still have her own romantic life at age 60, instead of just living vicariously through her grown daughters.
Unabashedly a chick flick, BECAUSE I SAID SO's intended audience is clearly female, but that's not to say it's all soft. The movie's girl talk includes frank discussions about sex and orgasms, demonstrating the unusually close relationships between the film's ...
