Film DVD ReviewFrozen Riverby J.M. Suarez[10.Feb.09] :. By the time there’s a crack in the river, it’s clear that something has to give in both Ray and Lila’s lives. Mixed MediaFrozen River DVD release (trailer)by PopMatters Staff[3.Feb.09] :. We’re looking forward to the release of Frozen River on DVD February 10th. Melissa Leo’s performance was one of the finest acting turns of last year and got her an Oscar nomination... The New Classics - The 30 Best Films of 2008by PopMatters Staff[16.Jan.09] :. Unlike previous years, where classics came crawling out of the celluloid woodwork with regular reckless abandon, 2008 was more calm… and considered. That's not to say that choosing 30 top titles was hard. The difficulty in placing them in some manner of rank order suggests the actual depth of quality involved. Tough and Tender - The Top 20 Female Performances of 2008by PopMatters Staff[14.Jan.09] :. Twenty talented ladies, 20 performances worthy of multiple little gold men.

Just when you start worrying about the state of American movies, and wondering whether the business is going to swandive into irrelevance, along comes something as vital and jolting as Frozen River.

Homicide: Life on the Street: The Complete Season 5by Cynthia Fuchs[13.Oct.04] :. It frequently expanded cop-show boundaries, occasionally gave in to suits in search or ratings, and most often, surprised fans and detractors alike. Homicide Life on the Street: The Complete Season 4by Cynthia Fuchs[26.Jul.04] :. Unlike most TV fare, especially cop shows, Homicide concerns itself with details and asides that don't always come together into thematic wholes. Homicide: Life on the Street: The Complete Third Seasonby Cynthia Fuchs[22.Mar.04] :. Homicide's third season focuses increasingly on tensions among the detectives, as they endure increasingly personal devastations, over more linear storylines and more sensational murder mysteries.
