Leon The Professional, The (Professional, The) (1994): Ultra–stylish, with the story and intelligence to match. Gary Oldman is totally unforgettable.; Blu-Ray $49.95
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009): Absolutely brilliant. Full of signature Anderson quirks and charms, this is sharp, enchanting, hilarious and utterly fantastic.
Social Network, The (2010): Well–made and well–acted with a very strong script.
Biutiful (2010): A sea of heart–wrenching emotion held together by (another) truly incredible and unforgettable performance form Javier Bardem.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
Sling Blade (1997): Slow, powerful and methodical. Billy Bob Thornton gives the film true inteillgence, wisdom and grace as he delivers a fantastic script, performance and directorial effort.
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The (2004): Enjoyable film, full of laughs and delightful Anderson details, but the plot is too disjointed for it to live up too earlier Anderson films.; DVD ~~$19.95~~ $14.95
In the Valley of Elah (2007): More subtle than Crash, but also less impacting. Jones is easily the best thing about it, delivering an outstanding, powerful performance.
American Gangster (2007): Solid all–round, with a powerful lead performance from Washington.
Get Low (2010): It\'s enjoyable, Duvall and Murray especially, but not anything special.
A Single Man (2009): A beautiful reflection of life and love, both visually and emotionally. Colin Firth is sublime.
