MOVIE REVIEW ()  OUR VERDICT :"ONE OF THE THE YEAR'S 3-BEST MOVIE !!!… "
SOME MOVIES SUCCEED AT THE BOX OFFICE, SOME DON’T. MAGNOLIA IS ONE OF THE “UNLUCKY MOVIES” THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT. WHY DIDN’T ANYONE  WATCH THIS MOVIE CAN’T BE REALLY EXPLAINED… . THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT 9 NEW-YORKERS WHOSE LIVES WILL CROSS ON A “RAINY” DAY. THE STORY IS ACTUALLY DIVIDED IN 6 PARALLEL STORIES THAT HANDLE MANY SUBJECTS; AMONGST THEM ARE PARENTHOOD, REGRET, LOVE, HATRED AND ESPECIALLY… LIFE. THE SCRIPT IS SENSATIONAL, WELL COMBINED WITH A SOUNDTRACK LIKE WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE: SONGS BY AIMEE MANN ARE SO EXPRESSIVE THAT YOU “NEED” TO BUY THE SOUNDTRACK AFTER WATCHING THE MOVIE!! THE CAST IS TERRIFIC AND I REALLY MEAN TERRIFIC! TOM CRUISE DELIVERS  A CAREER-BEST PERFORMANCE. THE OTHERS ARE ,NONETHELESS, AS GOOD AS HIM: JULIANNE MOORE IS SIZZLING AND MELINDA DILLON (?) IS ELECTRIFYING. YOUNG DIRECTOR P. T. ANDERSON SHOWED US AGAIN WHAT TALENT REALLY IS. OVERALL, MAGNOLIA HAS DEFINITELY ENTERED IN THE MOVIE PATRIMONY AND IT’S A MOVIE WE WILL REMEMBER FOR A LONG… LONG TIME.

DVD REVIEW ()
THE DVD IS REALLY GOOD ! 

THERE ARE MANY FEATURES BUT NOT ALL ARE WORTH LOOKING AT. THE MOST INTERESTING TWO ARE THE VIDEO CLIP (THE GREAT AIMEE MANN SONG, "SAVE ME" ) AND THE SURPRISINGLY LONG MAKING OF THAT FOLLOW THE MOVIE-MAKING PROCESS DAY BY DAY !!!! 

it's A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO HAVE DONE SUCH HARD WORK ON THIS BEHIND*THE-SCENES : IT HAS INTERVIEWS, SPECIAL EFFECT EXPLANATION....

ANOTHER GOOD FEATURE IS THE FRANCK MACKEY CONFERENCE (LONGER THAN THE ONE IN THE MOVIE AND WITH STORIES TO ILLUSTRATE IT !! )

IT'S A REALLY GR8 DVD, SO YOU SHOULD BUY IT.

WE HAVE TO MENTION THE FABULOUS BOX DESIGN THAT APPEAL EVEN MORE !
