DVD Reviews of The Big Easy
DVD Review: Odd wide screen cut
Summary: 4 Stars
FYI: Tho this is labled as widescreen, it does not capture the film shown in the theater. It lops off the top and bottom of the film and provides a TV screen type close up of the action. DVD Review: THE BIG EASY
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS MOVIE IS VERY GOOD, KEPT MY ATTENTION RIGHT UP UNTIL THE END
DVD Review: Sex in the City
Summary: 4 Stars
With these stars and N'awlins as a backdrop, what isn't to like? Quaid's accent is a bit suspect, but the music is great and the story keeps you involved from end to end.DVD Review: Yummy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, Dennis Quaid at his sexiest. What's not to like? This has been on my list of all-time favorite non-fantasy movies for a long time. I was quite pleased to be able to replace my worn out VHS copy with a DVD. :-)DVD Review: one of the best movies I have ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has it all. Action, an excellent sound track with Cajun music, colorful characters, a touching love story, an exciting understandable plot, interesting scenery, comic relief and even dancing. The interior of the famous restaurant Tipitina's is the setting for one memorable scene. The crimes are not graphically violent. The story has an agenda which addresses social values without being preachy. The villians are flawed humans, not unbelievable monsters and the good guys are not modeled as saints. This is a film I have watched several times and I also bought the soundtrack. It is on my list of all time favorites.
Description of The Big Easy
Highly original crime yarn with steamy romance and unique New Orleans atmosphere. A stylish homicide detective (Quaid) runs afoul of the new uptight assistant D. A. (Barkin) while investigating a local mob murder; soon theyre romantically involved even while theyre at odds professionally. Sassy and sexy with terrific Cajun music score. Written by Daniel Petrie Jr. Later a cable TV series.System Requirements:Director: Jim McBride Starring: Dennis Quaid et al. Region 1 encoding (for use in US and Canada only) Color Closed-captioned Theatrical trailer(s) Widescreen letterbox format Number of discs: 1 Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?031398700234 Manufacturer No:?71048An atmospheric and sexy crime caper, this stars Dennis Quaid as a New Orleans police detective. He's a smooth talker who butts heads with the new assistant district attorney, Ellen Barkin. She's rigid and plays by the rules; he is mildly corrupt. They soon find themselves romantically entwined, and a bit chagrined.
Director Jim McBride (Great Balls of Fire) was in top form with this 1987 sizzler. You may not remember the particulars of the plot, which concerns supposed gang killings and police corruption, because it is the romance that has staying power. Blame this on Quaid and Barkin, who send off enough sparks to light up Bourbon Street. They are not only sexy together, but endearing, which makes you want to like them as much as they like each other. --Rochelle O'Gorman
