Hard to Watch

This movie is NOT a remake of "A Long Kiss Goodnight". It is based on a novel of the same name. This movie asks whether we can forget our past and rebuild our lives. What the definition of family is. If there is such a thing as "good" violence. How we define ourselves. This movie is dark, very dark. The film is intentionally gory. There is nudity. The acting is superb. David Cronenberg's direction is excellent. This movie is not for everybody, given the reasons above. Please consider the viewing audience before watching. This is not a family movie and any view with children is probably not a good idea. It is an excellent film with real questions.
What's great about it: Plot, Deep Subject, Viggo
What's not so great: Not for everybody.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Good movie

It is a 4-1/2 star but because that is not an option, I rounded up. This review will be split into two parts, first dealing with the content of the movie and the second dealing with the blu-ray advantages of the movie. The movie is really quiet heart warming. It is a love story through and through. Will Ferrell is actually acting in this movie. He pulls the role off nicely without being over the top. He doesn't over act either. I got the sense watching this movie that this is more of his true personality. The supporting cast is excellent. They accent the story nicely. Maggie Gyllenhaal is again excellent; her character is seems like it may be nothing more than a radical extension of her. I was happy because the movie is light hearted, nothing blows up, nobody gets shot, and there are no epic wars. It was an excellent addition to my blu-ray library. The picture quality is great. Nice and crisp, nothing over the top, but HD nonetheless. The audio quality does not come from the technical aspects of sound. The sound quality comes from the sound track. It truly makes this movie natural. The songs fit every scene they are in. I loved this movie because it was a light hearted next-gen movie that added something deperately missing from collection, levity.

Not Out Great

This season is not out on DVD yet, but it is outsanding. I have it on my iPod and I will own the discs. It is a humanizing season for the Turks. Baby Isabella is adorable. Dr. Cox becomes a dad again, but can't celebrate because of tragedy. Elliot and Keith move forward. JD ends the season by portentiall doing something "nuclear". Buy this when it comes out.
