 | 8 Million Ways to Die [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Jeff Bridges stars as Matthew Scudder, the flawed hero of Lawrence Block's novel. He's an ex-cop, now a private eye, who constantly battles his own alcoholism. His struggle isn't helped when he becomes involved with a hooker and, in trying to aid her, winds up at the center of a... |
 | Jagged Edge [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Before screenwriter Joe Eszterhas wrote the ridiculous Showgirls, he crafted some entertaining if porous thrillers along the lines of the 1985 Jagged Edge, a taut mystery about an attorney (Glenn Close) who defends a newspaper publisher (Jeff Bridges) accused of murder. The fact ... |
 | The Contender [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Depending on your perspective, The Contender can be praised and damned for the same reasons. A political thriller with an insider's view, it's deadly earnest in its defense of truth, justice, and the American way, but writer-director (and former film critic) Rod Lurie resorts to ... |

 | The Vanishing [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: It's not unusual for Hollywood to remake European hits. What is unusual is the director of the original getting the chance to helm the new version with an American cast, which is what happened with this film based on an intensely creepy Dutch film of the same name (both directed ... |
 | Blown Away [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Before he made the man-eating lion thriller The Ghost and the Darkness and the special-effects-laden Lost in Space, director Stephen Hopkins helmed this ludicrous and critically panned thriller pitting a cop on the Boston Police bomb squad (Jeff Bridges) against a mad Irish bombe... |
 | The Big Lebowski [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The Big Lebowski is every bit a Coe... |
 | King Kong [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Before John Hughes claimed the mantle of Hollywood's antichrist, that title was firmly held by producer Dino De Laurentiis, whose middle name may have been "hubris." He vowed that this remake of the 1933 horror classic would be a bigger hit than Jaws and that his Kong would be mo... |

 | Fearless [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: When Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) finds himself facing imminent death as his plane hurls toward the ground, he finds inner calm and release from fear in his acceptance of his own unavoidable end. His panic erased, he helps other passengers to relax, and when he survives the impact, t... |
 | Arlington Road [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: It's easy to understand why Arlington Road sat on the studio shelf for nearly a year. No, the film isn't awful; rather, it's an extremely edgy and ultimately bleak thriller that offers no clear-cut heroes or villains. In other words, Hollywood had no idea how to sell it. Director... |

 | Blown Away [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: Jeff Bridges and Academy Award(r) winner* Tommy Lee Jones light a fuse under this action-packed, "tension-filled, edge-of-the-seat thriller which will hold you hostage for 120 electrifying minutes" (Louis B. Hobson, The Calgary Sun). Fueled with dynamic support by Lloyd Bridges (... |
 | The Big Lebowski [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The Big Lebowski is every bit a Coe... |

 | Cutter's Way [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: This Ivan Passer movie--a marvel of dark, brooding cinema--almost didn't make it into theaters. The film was nearly dumped by its studio because its pessimistic story seemed too downbeat. Which, in fact, is part of the appeal: the way it gets to the heart of a group of people who... |
![]() | Winter Kills [VHS] [Read More ...]
Description: This exhilarating kaleidoscope of a movie, from a surreally layered novel by Richard Condon (The Manchurian Candidate), combines post-Watergate paranoia, gallows humor, political sci-fi, dazzling suspense set pieces, something we might call postmodern historical burlesque, and... |
