HTF PICKS OF THE WEEK - February 6, 2004 (1 Viewer)

I too like this section very much, Ron. It will allow you to cover some of the DVD's comming out that may not get up for review from the "Significant Seven"

 

[Keith_R]

Good idea Ron! I think it will be a great section.

 

[Eric Emma]

So is it now "The Significant 7" plus one more who doesn't really add one but is still one more so now we'll call it the "The Sinificant 7 + 1" Great review Ron, I'm hyped to see American Splendor...

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I too just like hearing Ron's thoughts about the present of DVD again.

 

[Dane Marvin]

"American Splendor" was a blind buy for me, which I absolutely adore. Now knowing that you have good taste, I'm looking forward to seeing future recommendations.

Also, I am almost ashamed to admit this, but the song "American Splendor" (by an unknown named Eytan Mirsky that is included as an audio-only bonus feature) has been running through my head all day today and yesterday. Help!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Ron, good idea. I would've probably never given Anne Frank a second thought until I read your thoughts on the disc, now I'll more than likely pick this up in the next couple of months.

I'm going to be one of those that looks forward to this feature of yours...

 

[MarkHastings]

Argh, I'm going to have to rethink this now. My family knows I have more of a dramatic movie preference (over horror or 'Shoot-em-up' films), but the final straw was when I asked my mom about this movie and she said I probably wouldn't like it because it was a 'chick-flick'.

But to hear a few manly praises, I'll have to reconsider.

 

[Alistair_M]

I must admit - I miss Ron's reviews. When he finds a gem of a movie his enthusiasm is infectious. I'll be sure to read his weekly column of movies he discovers.

 

[Rob P S]

Ron, glad to see you liked American Splendor - I thought it was the best of the year. Secondhand Lions was very good also.

 

[Brian Dobbs]

Yeah, I'm with everyone else. Ron, we pleasantly welcome your writings back here on the HTF. Man I love this place.

 

[Chris Farmer]

Nice to have you back Ron. The current 7 reviewers are great, but I have missed your reviews. Now we get both, what more could you ask for?

 

[Martin Jeeves]

"Tuscan Sun" is a romantic movie but it avoids the cliches and is very well done. It is a 'chick flick' without being a 'chick flick' if you get me. Good entertaining movie that looks gorgeous. And if you like Diane Lane... she gives another excellent performance.

 

[WilliamG]

So,
"You can take the DVD away from the boy, but you can't take the boy away from the DVD!" (uh, or, ... something like that)

Great idea, Ron ... I'm glad to "read you" again!

 

[TonyD]

any picks for this week?

 

[John Bryant]

Wow. I have seen two of those, and they are on the very top of my list from last year. Diary of Anne Frank is on order to help complete my FSC collection. Great picks Ron .

 

[Angel Pagan]

Ron, I agree that the 7 "unknowns" that were picked to write reviews have done an incredible job. With that, i must say that I'm very glad to see you back writing about DVDs in some capacity other than press releases.

Good to see (read) you again.

{pssst, i knew you couldn't stay away...}
