Matewan

Matewan

 »rank: 1819

starring: Jace Alexander, Tom Carlin, Gordon Clapp, Chris Cooper, Joe Grifasi


: essential video:A little-known chapter of American labor history is brought vividly to life in this period drama from writer-director John Sayles. lt's a fictional story about labor wars among West Virginia coal miners during the 1920's, but every detail is so right that the film has the unmistakable ring of truth. The tension begins when the Stone Mountain Coal Company of Matewan, West Virginia, announces a lower pay rate for miners, who respond by calling a strike under the leadership of a ...

The Patriot

The Patriot

 »rank: 10703

starring: Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, Chris Cooper
directed by: Roland Emmerich


: :Aimed directly at a mainstream audience, The Patriot qualifies as respectable entertainment, but anyone expecting a definitive drama about the American Revolution should look elsewhere. Rising above the blatant crowd pleasing of Stargate, lndependence Day, and Godzilla, director Roland Emmerich crafts a marvelous re-creation of South Carolina in the late 1770s (aided immeasurably by cinematographer Caleb Deschanel), and Robert Rodat's screenplay offers the same balance of epic scale and emotional urgency that elevated his earlier script for Saving Private Ryan. Unfortunately, Emmerich embraces ...

The Bourne Identity

The Bourne Identity

 »rank: 5219

starring: Franka Potente, Matt Damon, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox
directed by: Doug Liman


: :Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne ldentity starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac ClA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity. While his ClA superior (Chris Cooper) dispatches assassins to kill Bourne and thus cover up his failed mission, Bourne exercises his lethal ...

Seabiscuit

Seabiscuit

 »rank: 5278

starring: Michael Angarano, Mariah Bess, Sam Bottoms, Cameron Bowen, Jeff Bridges


: :Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood's staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand's captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material--and David McCullough's familiar PBS-styled narration--to pay Ken Burns-like tribute to Hillenbrand's acclaimed history of Seabiscuit, the knobby-kneed thoroughbred who 'came from behind' in the late 1930s to win the hearts of Depression-weary Americans. That caveat ...

American Beauty (The Awards Edition)

American Beauty (The Awards Edition)

 »rank: 8285

starring: Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari
directed by: Sam Mendes


: essential video:From its first gliding aerial shot of a generic suburban street, American Beauty moves with a mesmerizing confidence and acuity epitomized by Kevin Spacey's calm narration. Spacey is Lester Burnham, a harried Everyman whose midlife awakening is the spine of the story, and his very first lines hook us with their teasing fatalism--like Sunset Boulevard's Joe Gillis, Burnham tells us his story from beyond the grave. lt's an audacious start for a film that justifies that audacity. Weaving social satire, domestic ...

October Sky (Spec Slip)

October Sky (Spec Slip)

 »rank: 12847

starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Laura Dern, Chris Owen, William Lee Scott
directed by: Joe Johnston


: :Based on the memoir Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam Jr., 0ctober Sky emerged as one of the most delightful sleepers of 1999--a small miracle of good ol' fashioned movie-making in the cynical, often numbingly trendy Hollywood of the late 20th century. Hickam's true story begins in 1957 with Russia's historic launch of the Sputnik satellite, and while Homer (played with smart idealism by Jake Gyllenhaal) sees Sputnik as his cue to pursue a fascination with rocketry, his father (Chris Cooper) epitomizes the admirable ...

City of Hope

City of Hope

 »rank: 15564

starring: Jace Alexander, Angela Bassett, Chris Cooper, Anthony John Denison, Frankie Faison


: essential video:Director John Sayles did the unthinkable and managed to sum up all the problems of urban life in one beautifully assembled jigsaw puzzle of a film. Combining characters from across all strata of one New Jersey city, he makes it clear that old-boy politics, corruption, and urban rage form an interlocking cage that seems to keep hope for the future locked away from our grasp. At heart, it's a story of fathers and sons, with sleazy contractor Tony Lo Bianco trying to ...

The Pirate Movie
$8.97



Two Moon Junction
$9.95



This camp spectacle stars Sherilyn Fenn (Boxing Helena) as an upper-crust Southern belle who abandons the posh life for sex on the road with a carny worker. Naturally, the older folk (Burl Ives, Louise Fletcher) take exception. Typically silly, soft-porn stuff from director Zalman King (Wild Orchid), this erotic joke of a movie is good for putting one's busy brain on hold for awhile. Colorful support from Kristy McNichol as a cowgirl, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and the late Hervé Villechaiz (Fantasy Island). --Tom Keogh
