DVD Reviews of House of D
DVD Review: House of D - More than touching and worth a look
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished watching "House of D" and consider this a great film worth at least a five star rating. The story is more than touching with several wonderfully special characters that almost everyone can to relate to. While watching it I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but was always smiling.
I will not try to tell the story but only say that it features Robin Williams and David Duchovny in a story set in Greenwich Village, the Chelsea area of New York, and briefly in Paris. Robin Williams and David Duchovny were wonderful as were the many other actors in this underrated film. Apparently, Amazon viewers liked it as well.
The DVD includes some interesting but short documentaries on the making of this film and some good bigraphical material on David Duchovny. It also discussed casting the film which was a big part of making this very excellent movie.
Every now and then when I watch a film like this (because of casting) I briefly come to my senses and realize that cinema has so much more to offer than horror and sci-fi movies.
DVD Review: House of D
Summary: 5 Stars
I heard about this movie from my sister who ran across it just looking for something to watch. I have a brother who is intellectually disabled and so when I heard that Robin Williams was in it, and he played the part of a person like this, I had to see it. It was much better than I ever expected. The humor, the roller-coaster ride, the ending, it was great! It may not have been a popular movie, but if you have not seen it, you should, you won't be disapointed. It's entertaining, refreshing, full of surprises. It's hard to predict. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I am going to purchase it. DVD Review: Fun Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
A feel good movie to have lots of fun with. David Duchovny did a great job with this little flick. I want to see it again.DVD Review: If you love Robin Williams
Summary: 5 Stars
For Robin Williams fans this film is a must have-I think it's one of his best roles. Also kudos to David Duchovney on his directing debut.DVD Review: David Duchovny is wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is David Duchovny's first movie that he wrote and directed, and I really hope that he writes more! He has done some directing on a few later season episodes of X-files, but in this movie, you can really see his talent extends far beyond acting.
This is a touching story of a boy growing up in New York, and how his friends are a janitor (Robin Williams) and Lady (Erykah Badu), an inmate in the women's house of detention (hence the name house of D). I won't spoil the story for anyone who has not seen the movie. I thought this movie really portrayed what it is like for a 13 year old boy.
David Duchovny puts in some very witty lines, that really make the film. You can see how intelligent he is, much more so than most actors (he's got a Masters in Literature, and was working on his PhD, when he got into acting).
Everyone should buy this film, especially at such a great price from Amazon.
Description of House of D
By working through challenges stemming from his past tom warshaw an american artist living in paris begins to discover who he really is & returns to his home to reconcile with his family & friends. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/06/2007 Starring: Anton Yelcin David Duchovny Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: David DuchovnyHouse of D is a bittersweet, moving story of an American expatriate's painful decision to come to terms with the childhood he fled in early 1970s New York City. David Duchovny wrote and directed this comedy-drama; he also stars as the adult version of the film's hero, Tom Warshaw, an illustrator who has spent most of his life in Paris and decides-on the occasion of his son's birthday-to finally reveal long-withheld facts about his past.
The bulk of the story, told in flashback, portrays 13-year-old Tom (Anton Yelchin) as a quick-witted prince of his neighborhood, a delivery boy who knows every eccentric on his bicycle route and a Catholic school kid fond of playing pranks on his clueless French teacher and soulful principal (Frank Langella). His best friend is the school's mildly retarded, 41-year-old janitor, Pappas (Robin Williams), and his advisor on matters of the heart is Lady (Erykah Badu), a prison inmate whom the fatherless Tom (or Tommy, as he's called in 1973) can neither see nor touch. Tommy's vivacity is an asset at home, where his mother (Tea Leoni), a grieving widow with a mounting addiction to pills, is slipping away from her son's ability to help. Duchovny's screenplay sometimes borders on the precious: A number of scenes are enamored with their own boldness and originality, as if Duchovny has been squirreling away lots of colorfully expressive storytelling details for years, and unloaded them here. But that flaw all but disappears in the glow of House of D's emotional resonance and honesty, not to mention several exceptional performances. Among these is Zelda Williams's work as Tommy's sage-beyond-her-years girlfriend, Melissa, whose name offers a suitable excuse to work a rather lovely Allman Brothers song into the soundtrack. --Tom Keogh
