Our review: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2008 Run time: 138 minutes Rating: R essential video:In a time when it seems that every other movie makes some claim to being a film noir, L.A. Confidential is the real thing--a gritty, sordid tale of sex, scandal, betrayal, and corruption of all sorts (police, political, press--and, of course, very personal) in 1940s Hollywood. The Oscar-winning screenplay is actually based on several titles in James Ellroy's series of chronological thriller novels (including the title volume, The Big Nowhere, and White Jazz)--a compelling blend of L.A. history and pulp fiction that has earned it comparisons to ...

Our review: essential video:Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential) and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix) shine in this absolute stunner of a movie.

The problem is that 'the incident' that robbed Leonard of his wife also stole his ability to make new memories. Unable to retain a location, a face, or a new clue on his own, Leonard continues his search with the help of notes, Polaroids, and even homemade tattoos for vital information. Because of his condition, Leonard essentially lives ...

Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/24/2005 Starring: Guy Pearce Jeremy Irons Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Simon Wells :While the 1960 version of The Time Machine remains a science fiction classic, this adaptation of the H.G.
