Movie Reviews of Giant (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Keepcase)

Movie Review: They don't make movies like this anymore
Summary: 5 Stars


My TV is off and I can't remember the last time I paid to see a movie. Quality is gone from Hollywood. I spend a lot at Amazon these days. We are buying up some of the old movies that we enjoy to watch when there is nothing else to do.

This is a good representation of life in the 50's and the Texas oil boom. Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor were the most glamorous people in Hollywood at the time.

And above all - no sex, violence or politcal statements that make me want to puke.

Movie Review: Diminished
Summary: 3 Stars

There are very good commentaries and documentaries here but the film itself has nothing to say after the first hour and drags on far too long. Once we get passed the tacky Texans the film critisizes, it loses flavor. (The wife's awful redecorating of the ranch home also drains life from the picture.) Plus, Liz and Rock are simply not credible in the film's later scenes while Jimmy is fascinating but distractingly preverse.

Movie Review: TENGAN CUIDADO LOS HISPANOS
Summary: 1 Stars

EXISTE UN ERROR EN LA DESCRIPCION DEL PRODUCTO, EL DVD NO TIENE OPCION PARA VER LA PELICULA EN IDIOMA ESPAŅOL.
YO COMPRE ESTE DVD CON EL FIN DE VERLO EN EL IDIOMA EN ESPAŅOL Y ME DI CON LA INGRATA SORPRESA QUE SOLO ESTA EN SUBTITULO EN ESPAŅOL.
AMAZON DEBERIA REALIZAR LA CORRECCION RESPECTIVA Y TENER MAS CUIDADO EN PRESENTAR LAS CARACTERISTICAS DEL PRODUCTO.

Movie Review: Giant-the movie
Summary: 4 Stars

An excellent replacement for our aging VHS. This one will be around for a while.

Movie Review: Disjointed narrative
Summary: 2 Stars

Maybe you have to be from Texas or over 50 or something to enjoy this movie. It had some great characters to be sure, but the narrative was just a collection of unrelated events--an extremely LONG collection of unrelated events. Couple meets, gets married, sister in law dies, have kids, kids grow up. The only threads: an occasional fight would erupt with the jerk played by James Dean, and at the end it explodes. And Dad learns to tone down his racism a little bit, but not too much.

It's really a three star, but I'm taking off an extra for sheer length. Three hours a movie that's neither good nor bad.
