Not sure there's an audience for this film.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Teens who watch this film because of the lead actresses won't find this film funny because they won't know enough about the Watergate scandal to get the jokes. And adults who know about the Watergate scandal will not be interested in watching a teen comedy about it. So who exactly is this film aimed at. I liked the movie but it's a real weird mix.
My Best Buy number: 2174657035
What's great about it: The lead actresses are great!
What's not so great: Teen Comedy and Political Comedy don't mix.
I would recommend this to a friend!

You can see why Christian Bale and Melissa Leo won Oscars for this film. They are great!

The writer and producers actually took the time to create an engaging movie. Such an improvement over the Stallone version.

Fox's impressive DVD of The Omen is guaranteed to please this horror classic's legion of fans. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer of the film benefits from a nice remastering job that effectively re-creates the film's glossy look while also adding a new level of color and detail that was missing in previous video editions. The audio is also quite good, utilizing a new stereo remix that makes excellent use of Jerry Goldsmith's thunderous score and adds a new level of punch to the film's many shocks. In terms of extras, fans will find themselves treated to a variety of informative documentaries: "The Omen Revealed" is a 46-minute program that chronicles the film's origins with a series of interviews with the filmmakers; a second segment offers composer Jerry Goldsmith's analysis of four themes he created for it; and "Curse or Coincidence?" is a six-minute short that speculates about the occult nature of a bizarre series of incidents that plagued the film's production. There is also a commentary track featuring director Richard Donner and editor Stuart Baird; it accidentally recycles some of the material revealed in the documentaries, but Baird and Donner have an appealing sense of camaraderie and the track offers enough insight into the production (especially the realization of the film's classic shock scenes) to make it worthwhile. An original theatrical trailer for The Omen rounds the extras out nicely. All in all, Fox's DVD of The Omen delivers the film in high style and also functions as a fairly definitive chronicle of its history.

The original Hannibal Lector

It's the original Hannibal Lector with a totally 80's Miami Vice feel to it. And that's a good thing. A great thing in fact. I love this movie.
My Best Buy number: 2174657035
My Best Buy number: 2174657035
What's great about it: Michael Mann's direction and Brian Cox as Hannibal Lector.
What's not so great: Nothing! It's a great 80's film.
