I’m pretty jazzed about this one. Sidney Lumet has long been a favorite of mine ever since Prince of the City became a VideoDisc favorite of mine as a kid who had no business liking a long Treat Williams star vehicle.

I recently went gaga over this boxed set, and it’s a testimony to both the perseverence of good DVD manufacturers and the enduring quality of the show that audiences are getting a really amazing Angel: The Complete Series boxed set just in time for the holidays.

In the Valley of Elah, despite Beaks’ lukewarmness, is a fairly well-regarded piece of personal and political turmoil courtesy of one Paul Haggis, the guy behind Crash. Normally, I go in much more detail, but I aint seen it, and I wanna make sure that … Continue reading →
