DVD Reviews of Stone Cold
DVD Review: Great movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie entertaining retaining some of the qualuties of the
older movies that you had to be an actor not just lay in bed most of the
movie and show you everything like pervert movies are now.
Only wrecked one car instead of 20 police cars and passenger as they do now.
No burning wrecks every 10 minutes.
DVD Review: Tom Selleck is Parker's Jesse Stone
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert B.Parker is one of the best - if not the best - in telling a story almost entirely through dialogue and as such perfect for film.
His novels are million sellers, and they deserve to be.
Parker's output is amazing. The Spenser series, the Jesse Stone and the Sunny Randal novels, a couple of westerns and YA novels, the list goes on and on.
Stone Cold is a TV movie based on the 4th novel in the Jesse Stone series. And it's terrific. Parker has never ever before been transmitted to film like this.
Though Jesse in the novels is a little younger than Tom Selleck, Tom is perfect in the role. He's witty, tough, straight, comes equipped with a huge heart, and is ready for action when he needs to be.
Not that you would expect that in Paradise, Massachusetts, the quiet little New England fishing town where Jesse just started as the new police chief. As a former L.A. homicide detective who left behind the big city and his divorced wife, Jesse probably didn't expect a serial killer couple to disrupt the peace. As the killers try to destroy Jesse's private life just as a gang rape case stretches thin his small town police force, Jesse decides it's time to hit back.
Tom Selleck in my opinion has never been better. And he knows it. No wonder he is one of the executive producers on the series.
But this is not just about Tom. Polly Shannon is lovely as his girlfriend (or pal, as Jesse prefers to call her), Viola Davis and Kohl Sudduth shine as small town cops, the dog too - as the dog (what would a Parker tale be without one)
Robert Harmon's directing is state of the art, as are Jeff Beal's music, Rene Ohashi's camera work and the location and production design.
If you keep in mind that this is just a TV production it is amazing what the team pulled off with a relatively small budget. As such it is better than most of what's been around lately.
Get it and watch it. It won't disappoint.
DVD Review: Stone Cold: Moderately faithful to the book
Summary: 4 Stars
Tom Selleck does a very creditable job as Jesse Stone. For fans of the books by Robert B. Parker, he fits the image of the very human and somewhat flawed former LA homicide detective turned small-town police chief. The story follows the book pretty well, until the ending, which is quite different from the book yet still satisfying. I enjoyed seeing the characters from the book come to life, but as an avid reader I almost always prefer a book to a movie. I like using my own imagination instead of seeing the action through someone else's interpretation. But I would highly recommend this series, both book and movie.DVD Review: Stone Cold - Tom Selleck
Summary: 5 Stars
Enjoy the character. The author has created a marvelous character. Hope to see more opportunities to view future episodes. Will search for new DVDs. DVD Review: Tom Selleck at his best...
Summary: 5 Stars
Stone Cold is a great find because Tom Selleck is one of our favorite actors and we own the entire Magnum PI collection. In this series a more mature but still incredibly handsome Tom Selleck plays the character of the Chief of Police of a small New England town called Paradise, Massachusetts.
Jesse Stone is a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left life in the big city and is now underemployed, but still doing service to the community, which he loves. He divorced the "only woman he is able to love" and in each of the movies, for we now own three, he has relationships with rather sophisticated and interesting women, such as the attorney played here by Mimi Rogers.
While life in Paradise is slow and for the most part the Chief of Police only gives out traffic or parking tickets, a series of murders take place, and in this episode a high school girl is raped and we see the Chief of Police solving murders, and protecting the young girl, allowing her father to "extract" vengeance in ways that we simply cheered.
Don't miss it, the pace is slow but introspective, the plot is deep and intelligent, and you are left with feeling admiration for a man that has done wrong things while always attempting to do what is right!
Description of Stone Cold
Tom Selleck is Jesse Stone, a former L.A. homicide detective who left behind the big city and an ex-wife to become the police chief of the quiet New England fishing town of Paradise, Massachusetts. Stone's old habits die hard as he continues to indulge in his two favorite things - scotch and women. When a series of murders take place, and a high school girl is raped, he's forced to face his own demons in order to solve the crimes.General DVDs
