National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) 292 reviews Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha
Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2008
A Fun Ride!
+ A great movie an adventure!
I absolutely loved the first movie, National Treasure, and couldn't wait to see the sequel. Now the first film is probably a better movie overall, but the second film is very enjoyable and has more action to it than the first. I think most people really enjoy seeing how Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage)can ...

Troy - The Director's Cut [Blu-ray] 816 reviews Brad Pitt, Eric Bana
Warner Home Video, 2007
No real Achilles' Heel
+ Can someone show me where this is titled The Iliad and not Troy? + Epic and Awesome
Based on Homer's Illiad, there is an ironic connection to how this movie was received. Some may have been wary of another big-budget Hollywood production, and thought of the classic proverb, "beware those who would bring false gifts." The concern was unwarranted, as this movie is stunning in ...

300 (Two-Disc Special Edition) 1095 reviews Gerard Butler, Lena Headey
Warner Home Video, 2007
I loved this movie
+ Great entertainment + This is Sparta!!!!
I originally had to view this movie for a history class on history on film. This movie blew me away. You have to keep in mind that it is based on a comic book so the coloring and graphics are going to look exactly like a graphic novel, which is actually one of the best parts because it is so ...

In the Valley of Elah 94 reviews Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron
Warner Home Video, 2008
An Important Movie.....
+ Dehumanizing effect of the Iraq war + "Dad, you have to get me out of here."
I have only a few words to say about "In The Valley of Elah". This is a movie that EVERYONE should watch. Not just for the fact that it is a good movie, but as a reminder of what our men and women are having to go through in the service of our country. Anyone that has a son or daughter or ...

He finds some solace, ...

Men Are Not Cost-Effective: Male Crime in America 5 reviews June Stephenson
Perennial, 1995
Worth a read
+ interesting points
One reviewer claims to have picked this book up in search of evidence that the feminist movement has become a hate movement and was disapointed to see that this book doesn't support their misconceptions. That "search" is sadly misguided, unlike this book. The title alone should tell you this book ...

As an English teacher and avid reader, I appreciate a standout novel when I read one. This is a beautifully written book and the plot is textured and reveals itself little by little all through the novel. It's a novel of sisterhood, family love and married love. I cannot find enough stars here to ...
