With a Bang or a Whimper
Thomas J. Norton  |  Jul 03, 2005  | 

<I>Avoid a Blue Tuesday by capping off your holiday weekend plans with the end of the world! Whether we will become extinct as a species from within or without is the subject of two movies on DVD, one an environmental-disaster flick of dubious distinction, the other a classic loosely based on the Victorian novel that in turn has inspired a current remake. Thomas J. Norton and Fred Manteghian report on 2004's </I>The Day After Tomorrow: All Access Collector's Edition<I> and 1953's </I>The War of the Worlds.

Cinessentials: GoodFellas
Joe Leydon  |  Feb 21, 2005  | 

Editor's Note: This year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture feature the work of two acclaimed directors operating at the top of their game, Martin Scorsese's <I>The Aviator</I> and Clint Eastwood's <I>Million Dollar Baby</I>. So it seemed liked a good time to revisit reviews from <I>UAV</I> contributor Joe Leydon of earlier films from these same artists: Scorsese's <I>GoodFellas</I> and Eastwood's <A HREF="/moviereviews/205unforgiven"><I>Unforgiven</I></A>. The reviews cover the two-disc Special Edition of <I>Unforgiven</I> and the single-disc release of <I>GoodFellas</I>. A 2-disc Special Edition of <I>GoodFellas</I> is now available for $26.99.
