Blown Away
Added 10/16/2009
I saw this movie when it came out and I have it on vhs this dvd isn't well transferred. But the performances are simply stunning. The movie isn't the book exactly (they never are) but it does justice to the book. This is a movie of bitterness and despair
and if you don't want to curse God or deny his existence after watching this you have lost your humanity. This is what filmmaking should be about LIFE.

Great movie
Added 9/22/2009
An older but classic movie with Jack Nicholson and Merryl Streep as homeless bums in Albany New York during the Depression. Both were nominated for Oscars with their incredible acting. One of Nicholson's best.

movie magnificent, transfer could be a lot better
Added 9/18/2009
I had been searching for this film for a very long time and was surprised that it was actually put on dvd. It is about the same quality as you would get on a crt tv. Lets face it folks, for this movie, this is as good as it is going to get - it could be dvd or bluray quality, but it isn't and probably will never be so, so if you want to own this, this is it.
This is a very depressing story but it is a film with two master actors at the absolute top of their career. The performances are simply brilliant. Tom Waits surprisingly turns in a very effective and believable role of a depression era bum who has a very limited time left to live and decides to 'wine it out'. This movie is an acting masterpiece.

five star movie in a half star "dvd format"

IT IS VERY SAD FOR A VERY BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED MOVIE TO BE RELEASED ON "DVD" IN FEBRUARY 2009 WITHOUT USING TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY TO RESTORE IT!

How can you go wrong with such a cast? Excellent and thoughtful. A must see, but not on a day when you do not want to feel sad. Excellent movie.
