DVDs: A Perfect Movie-Going

Let's face it. Sometimes you're just not in the mood to see a five-hour documentary on the
Holocaust. Or maybe you're feeling grumpy and you harrumph your way through an animatedmusical. (Dancing spoons? Bah!) And once in a while, you see the right movie at the right timewith the right audience (and maybe even the right weather) and the experience is just...perfect.
It happened to me when I stumbled into Woody Allen's The Purple Rose Of Cairo in a near-empty
movie theater and didn't know the first thing about the plot. It happened again when I saw Jane
Campion's The Piano at an early screening before all the hype with a friend who was just as
enthralled as I.
And it happened again with Ang Lee's The Ice Storm($39.95; Criterion). I was already a big fan of Lee,who was in the midst of a near-perfect run of films,
starting with the crowd-pleasing comedy The
Wedding Banquet, the mature and far more
accomplished Eat Drink Man Woman, the marvelous
Sense & Sensibility and then this pitch perfect
Seventies drama with a young Tobey Maguire on the verge of stardom.
Don't ask me how I missed one of the eary screenings or its premiere at the New York Film
Festival. But I did. So here it was, a cold and rainy night in New York City, probably in October orNovember of 1987. I'd just seen an awful movie at a screening I did make and should have skipped.Nothing puts you in a bad mood faster than a movie that makes you feel you've wasted your time. Iwas stalking up Broadway towards my home when I spotted The Ice Storm playing at Lincoln
Plaza. I checked the time and it was just about to begin.

"HGTV's $250,000

Vie For Mortgage...Often, seeing a bad movie can make you stay away from films altogether for a few days or even a
week or more. But I just knew The Ice Storm would at least be good, given Lee and the cast of
Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Christina Ricci and Joan Allen. So I bought a ticket, went in, found
maybe seven or eight people in the theater scattered about in their own private worlds and took a
seat.
As you may have guessed, I was mesmerized. A brilliant adaptation of the Rick Moody novel, the
movie would have been great under any circumstances. But my mood, the night, and the near-
empty theater just made it better. And who was this kid Tobey Maguire? I vaguely remembered
him from This Boy's Life but I would never forget him again. Everyone sat in silence as the credits
rolled and then we bundled up and stepped outside into the rain, each of us alone, wet, tired...and
happy.
Also out this week: Jerry Seinfeld's modestly successful hybrid of an animated flick, Bee Movie
($29.98; DreamWorks); Battlestar: Galactica Season Three ($59.98; Universal) and yes, watching
key episodes again does remind you this was a near disastrous collapse creatively but loads ofextras and the talented cast make you hopeful they can pull it together for the fourth and finalseason starting April 4; the Oscar-winning Coen brothers triumph No Country For Old Men($29.99; Miramax), which is not all that but is still a respectable Best Picture winner; South Park:Imaginationland ($19.99; Paramount) an extended version of the three part cliffhanger that's very,
very funny and makes you wonder yet again why they haven't made another feature film;Atonement ($29.98; Universal), the nicely made period drama that finally - finally! - has turned
the charming James McAvoy into a leading man; Tongues Untied ($29.99; Frameline), the
groundbreaking documentary about the dual blasts of prejudice that black gay men must endure;Will Smith may not have done himself any favors with his stiff portrayal of a black gay con artist inSix Degrees of Separation but he later became the biggest movie star in the world and holds the
screen handily in I Am Legend ($34.99; Warner Bros.) until it slowly deflates at the end; Pucca:
Ninjas Love Noodles ($14.99; Shout), one of several Pucca compilations containing 13 episodes
that combine The Powerpuff Girls with a romance manga in a truly offbeat, cross-cultural jumble;
director Tony Kaye's hard to watch and harder to forget abortion rights epic Lake Of Fire ($27.98;
ThinkFilm); Amy Adams' breakthrough Enchanted ($29.99; Disney), a gentle spoof of animated
musicals; 101 Dalmatians ($29.99; Disney), the solid, second-tier animated flick with a fun villain
and one enduring song; the absorbing "missing mother" UK miniseries Five Days ($29.98; HBO);
Al Pacino acting up a storm in his Seventies salad day vehicles Bobby Deerfield ($19.94;
Columbia/Warner Bros.) and the legal potboiler ...And Justice For All ($19.94; Columbia) ("No,YOU'RE out of order!"); Javier Bardem's well-intentioned but stillborn adaptation of Love In TheTime Of Cholera ($27.98; New Line); Click Clack Moo Cows That Type ($14.95; Scholastic/New
Video), the latest in gently illustrated classic stories (eight in all on this disc) narrated with verve byRandy Travis, Helen Hunt, Tim Curry and others; Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation($26.98; Fox), the not-a-moment-too-soon 2008 straight to DVD sequel to the Tom Hankscomedy released 24 years ago; and for horror buffs who can't wait till Halloween and Saw XVIII(or whatever), there's the creepy collection 8 Films To Die For After Dark Horrorfest ($159.84;LionsGate), available as a boxed set or as individual titles like Crazy Eights ($19.98; LionsGate),
which combines the nostalgia of a Big Chill -like reunion with...murder!
So do you have a perfect movie-going experience, some combination of the people you were with,
the setting (maybe a drive-in?), your mood and the movie that created an ideal moment?

My wife states, proudly, that I'm bi-flictual, that's why "The Jane Austen Book Club" just blew me away.
I think I'm in love with Emily Blunt, because "The Devil Wears Prada" is a repeat watch, and "Across theUniverse", except for the acting, which was good, not great, should have won every other Oscar on theboard. Julie Taymor! Julie Taymor!

The best DVDs I have seen this week are:
"Sunshine" 2007 Science fiction with Cillian Murphy; great audio and visual affects; good story and plot
twists.
"Blue State" 2008 Romantic Comedy with heavy political overtones stars Anna Paquin and Breckin
Meyer. I liked this one well enough to watch it over again and enjoyed the ending.
I didn"t think that much of No Country for old Men; too much pointless killing and real enough to scare
the crap out of you. It's always fun to watch and listen to Tommy Lee Jones.
