'Hachi: A Dog's Tale': *** stars
how does a richard gere and joan allen starer go straight to video? how does a lasse hallstrom. 'chocolate' 'cider house rules' film go straight to video. with all the crap released theatrically this heart warming adult yet family film gets kicked to rental. i've stopped wondering 'what the hell is hollywood thinking' i'm convinced they don't!
this is a heart warming tale of a man and his dog. it is not 'marley and me'. it is the exact opposite. my recommendation is rent it today and enjoy.

'The Boys Are Back': ***stars
a sincere little film that does. it's moving, touching and simple. a recently widowed father has to learn to be a mother and father.
clive owen does a more than admirable job in a change of pace role. perfect film for a rainy spring day. rent it.

May Rental Suggestions
what can i say...it's a good month for renting or buying videos this month. what makes it really great is that 'doctor zhivago' is finally available updated, upgraded and newly restored on blu ray
'The Young Victoria' ***1/2stars
it isn't often i give a film four stars simply because they don't deserve them. 'the young victoria' more than fits the bill as a four star movie. it's a beautiful costume drama, a slice of life portrait of the up and coming young queen and a love story. and what a love story. the historical union of two royals who really loved each other and not just fulfilling a royal obligation.
emily blunt amazes as the the young victoria and is most complimented by rubert friend as the young albert.
how the hell was this not nominated for best picture and best actress? answer: the independent film makers in hollywood and everywhere are nominating the critic's choices. they need the critics to bolster their films. therefore they nominate as many independent films as they can to satisfy those they are dependent on i.e. the critics.
this 'victoria' is a wonderful, beautifully made and scored film. it is now available on dvd and bly ray. you can rent it but i say buy it. you will want to re-watch it again and again.
trailer
'will you marry me?' due to protocol albert cannot ask victoria to marry him. so....
