Character Study . Allen's September (1987) suffered from highly dismissive reviews which remains consistent with the public's view that Allen should produce comedies. Allen's willingness to risk, whether he fails or not, should be a clear invitation to consider this piece if just for the purpose of contrasting his present work with earlier films that defined him as a professional funny man. The discerning viewer might enjoy this character study about six people if he or she wants a piece that demands a bit more reflection. As other reviewers wisely point out, Allen borrows from Chekov, particularly Uncle Vanya, in September and shows us how selfishness and thoughtlessness have their repercussions on innocent bystanders. But the plot unfolds carefully as Lane (Mia Farrow) struggles to deal with unrequited love for a struggling writer (Sam Waterston)and an unwelcome guest in her mother (Elaine Stritch). I tend to favor the scenes which take place in candlelight. Lane's best friend, Stephanie, (Dianne Wiest) plays the piano as various characters reveal their fears and desires in carefully constructed monologues and dialogues. We learn a great deal about how professional concerns do not always eclipse the existential questions people face or the reality that people can go on living while harboring painful regrets. Eventually, a particular truth surfaces which sends the characters reeling but Allen gives us a reprieve by offering an ending that is fair albeit unnerving. Allen fans who enjoy his comdies should switch gears to view this film. Like his more sober films, September offers viewers the pleasure of character development as the fuel which moves the film forward.

Suspense at its best . Alfred Hitchcock works wonders in relating what the actual movie audience does -- sit in a theater and watch events unfold througout a narrative sequence -- by portraying that in his film "Rear Window." Through the eyes of Jefferies (Jimmy Stewart), we see the events that lead up to the suspicion of a murder that happens across his courtyard. He sees the events unfold through the window of his apartment, just as we see them on the movie screen. Hitchcock uses suspense, point of view and camera angles to suck the audience into his own little movie world, with just a little voyueristic flair thrown in

"Be Nice.. Until It's Time To Not Be Nice." ("Road House:" Special Edition) . It's been said before (and over and over in all the reviews here, so I won't bore you with the details why it's been said) but I'll say it again: "Roadhouse" is a great bad movie! I do find it funny that this one has earned that type of fond recollection by so many and turned into a cult hit of sorts because of it; while there are literally tons of these type of movies that littered the action/adventure landscape throughout the 80s and early 90s. Hardly any of them are even remembered much less revered to the extent "Roadhouse" is. I guess it's just one of those things. Maybe its because the movie has (at the time) bigger stars, a bigger budget and a larger abundance of gratuitous T&A than most theatrically released action flicks that bare a general resemblance to it (of course, you could find plenty of this type of thing lining the walls of your local Blockbuster, but even though they supply the action and nudity, they don't often supply the big stars and big budgets). Maybe it was just a matter of right place, right time, right amount of exposure, etc. Who knows; but whatever the reason, I'm glad enough this film has endured. This special edition does its legacy as a winking-joke-unto-itself proud (Swayze's character is known as "the best bouncer in the business." Where was the annual bouncer convention of '89 held and how is the winner of that title determined?). The best reason to pick this up instead of the previous, bare-bones DVD transfer is the commentary tracks. The first is by the film's director, Rowdy Herrington, which is actually rather informative considering the source material being examined. But the real treat is the other commentary track by director and professional fanboy Kevin Smith and his production partner Scott Mossier. Not only is it a great commentary, but the very idea that the producers of this DVD saw it appropriate to include a commentary from someone who has nothing to do with making this movie shows that all involved are in on the joke. They should have just gone the full nine and held contest to find the ultimate, die hard "Roadhouse" fan and let him/her do the commentary. And I'd be willing to bet, somewhere, Quentin Tarrentino is pissed he didn't get a call (he loves contributing his two cents to cult films that he has nothing to do with other than being either a huge fan or hating the movie's guts - either way, always an entertaining commentator). Now if only studio execs would get off their butts and release perhaps the only junk-action movie more loved and clamored for than this one: "Stone Cold." (It feels like that is the only movie ever made that has not made it to DVD, yet everyone seems to want it to be released, so what gives?! Since when aren't studios egger to cash in???) Give us a "Stone Cold" special edition and slap it in a two-pack with this classic and you'll have all the craptacular entertainment this side of the old school Steven Seagal flicks you'll ever need.
