Romantic Comedies on DVD : Eat Drink Man Woman DVD
This movie will help you overcome your rule of “no subtitles movies”. This great foreign movie is so good you will be willing to accept english subtitles, for once! “Eat Drink Man Women” offers a glance at the chinese culture and an unforgettable lesson in family bonds. This movie tells a story about a family (a chef and his three daughters) through the meals he prepares. A movie you shouldn’t watch on an empty stomach, that’s for sure!

Romantic Comedies on DVD : 10 Things I Hate About You DVD
Contemporary Shakespeare-like story! Kat Stratford (beautifully acted by Julia Stiles) is a grumpy girl… Beware anyone who gets in her way! And if there is two things she can’t stand, it’s her happy jolly younger sister Bianca (played by Larisa Oleynik), the popular girl of the school, and boys! But there is a problem: Bianca can only attend the school dance if Kat goes too (Papa’s rule). In order to go to the dance with Bianca, Cameron (Bianca’s beau) decides to hire the enigmatic Patrick Verona (beautifully played by the late Heath Ledger) to loosen Bianca’s older sister up. And what one would expect happens : love happens. “10 Things I Hate About You” is not the generic superficial teen romance movie you are used to see. It has that appeal for anyone who can enjoy a clever dialogue, and many references to litterature (the story is based on Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew”.

Romantic Comedies on DVD : Sense and Sensibility DVD
Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson are the perfect ingredients to a winning romantic comedy! Sense and Sensibility is an Oscar-winning adaptation of the English novelist Jane Austen romance. More than being only common love stories, Jane Austen’s romances are sophisticated pieces of social commentary. Jane Austen is brilliand, so are the cast from Sense and Sensibility. A true movie gem you should add to your collection.

A quick look at the 90’s

The 90’s is the decade of prosperity for many countries. Neoliberalism, the expansion of new media use, the dissolution of the Soviet Union led are all big events and phenomenons from the 90s. The 90’s also represent the revolution in technology. By the end of the 90’s, it is common to own a personal computer and to use the internet. Video games are all about special effects, so does the the big blockbusters movies. Number of movies were using special effects CGI (think of Jurassic Park or Apollo 13). Multiplex cinema attendance in the 90s is up for most of the decade leading to the decline of the drive-ins.

Unlike in the 80’s, the 90’s prove that independant film makers can compete with the big Hollywood productions.

The 90’s is also known for the progressive use of DVDs over VHS, because of their size, quality and durability.
