The quality of service and DVD thru. Amazom has been fantastic. I had the opportunity to buy new or used DVD's and so far I have been buying the new DVD's.

Dick Tracy gone bad
Added 9/10/2009
The opening of the film is the tumbling down a cliff of a mobster by the
LA police hit squad.
Nick Nolte plays a police detective who is a blunt instrument
and Melanie Griffith is his Tess Trueheart.
I think the best acting in this movie is by Chazz Palminteri
as the partner.
We have the LA police department meets Army Intelligence
and the FBI and the secret of radiation cancer exposure of
soldiers in Nevada tests.
Jennifer Connelly has a lot of exposure, but not a lot of speaking roles
as the girl thrown from an air plane over LA
whose murder is being investigated.
This movie has everything to be a big hit:
sex, violence, homosexuality and atomic secrets;
so why doesn't it click like L.A. Confidential?
I liked the movie, but think that it could have been done better.

Dave Grusin writes a mean score
Added 3/7/2009
I had to comment after reading review after review of whole-movie reviews for this product - which is the SOUNDTRACK for the film.
Dave Grusin is as accomplished a writer as he is a player - Mulholland Falls particularly shows off a lush period score that fits the movie perfectly (whatever you think of it). I only liked the central actress in the film (Jennifer Connelly - she's stunning) but was thouroughly impressed the the ultra atmospheric score, with rich jazz harmony and dark, dynamic swells - it really fits into the detective film-noir genre.
I don't usually pay attention to film scores that much but I heard this one and wanted to transcribe it. Now I know it's Grusin I'll get around to it sooner.

1.5 stars out of 4

The Bottom Line:
A garish and ridiculous neo-noir that features Nick Nolte in full screen-chewing mode, Melanie Griffith in full awful-Melanie-Griffith mode, and some truly terrible dialogue and situations, Mulholland Falls has a good first scene but nothing else to recommend it.
