The Conversation, a review by AntaresThe Conversation (1974) 68/100 - Nothing drives me more crazy than when a director plays the audience for a bunch of suckers, and that's exactly what Francis Ford Coppola does with The Conversation. The film starts out rather dry, but still intriguing as we are given insight into the covert world of surveillance and eavesdropping. It is here where the film really shines. But halfway through, it kind of loses steam and only comes back to life at the very end. Now I can forgive a film that lags a bit if the payoff makes up for it. But the payoff here is a bit of manipulation by Coppola that defies the laws of science. (click to show/hide) What the color coding means... Teal = Masterpiece Dark Green = Classic or someday will be Lime Green = A good, entertaining film Orange = Average Red = Cinemuck Brown = The color of crap, which this film is (From Antares' Short Summations on August 16th, 2012) My Fair Lady, a review by TomTitle: My Fair Lady Year: 1964 Director: George Cukor Rating: FSK-12 Length: 166 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1, German: Dolby Digital Mono, Spanish: Dolby Digital Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish Stars: Audrey Hepburn Rex Harrison Stanley Holloway Wilfrid Hyde-White Gladys Cooper Extras: Audrey Hepburn Original Singing Commentary Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: A musical I have enjoyed since I have first seen this movie. I even did watch this musical in a well-done stage version once.As it is well-known, Audrey Hepburn's singing voice was replaced by the voice of Marni Nixon. In the special features section there are two songs where we get to hear Hepburn's original singing voice intact. I think they could have at least kept her voice for the first part of the movie, where Eliza is still her old self. I think her voice would have fit perfectly there. Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on December 28th, 2008) Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdSeason 5: Disc 4: EPISODE 13: VENGEANCE Clark is in emotional lockdown, but he finds an understanding spirit in the person of a super-powered female vigilante. She, too, has lost a parent. However, something divides them: their attitudes about how to fight crime. My Thoughts: This was a great episode! They showed Clark close to the point of killing before he came to his senses. I loved the look of the Angel of Vengeance! Was an awesome look! EPISODE 14: TOMB Chloe hasn't been herself lately. The ghost of a murder victim possesses the 'Daily Planet' reporter's body in an attempt to find the killer and avenge her death. But that quest puts both Chloe and Lois in grave peril. My Thoughts: Another really good episode. Nothing like a good ghost/possession story for someone that is as big of a horror fan as I am! EPISODE 15: CYBORG Part man. Part machine. Victor Stone, the subject of secret bionic experiments at LuthorCorp, escapes and finds an ally in someone who knows what it's like to be different: CLARK KENT. Also: Lionel comes into possession of a certain secret. My Thoughts: This disc is 3 for 3! Another episode I liked a lot! This one brings Cyborg in. Another of the Justice League comes to Smallville.
