At times resembling a modern day Twiggy, actress/fashion designer Tara Subkoff has little need to follow in the footsteps of yesteryear icons after a series of memorable film roles and a trend-setting career as the co-founder/designer of a flamboyant clothing-line brought both the film and fashion worlds to her well-adorned feet. Following her memorable screen debut as a mentally challenged mute in the 1993 thriller When the Bough Breaks, East Coast-reared Subkoff spent the remainder of the 1990s developing her onscreen career in such efforts as Freeway (1996), All Over Me (1996), and As Good As It Gets (1997) before focusing on her emerging career in fashion. Reluctant to be pigeonholed in either career, Subkoff often blurred the lines between the two with appearances in such high-fashion cinematic exploits as The Last Days of Disco (1997) and The Cell (2000). Teaming with Matt Damhave to transform Salvation Army castoffs into high-priced haute couture, "Imitation of Christ" found the fashionable duo the...

Reluctant to be pigeonholed in either career, Subkoff often blurred the lines between the two with appearances in such high-fashion cinematic exploits as The Last Days of Disco (1997) and The Cell (2000). Teaming with Matt Damhave to transform Salvation Army castoffs into high-priced haute couture, "Imitation of Christ" found the fashionable duo the toast of the town with their cheekily arty creations. With such fashion-icon followers as Chloë Sevigny sporting IOC threads, it wasn't long before numerous wannabes were threading cheap imitations. Though many may find it ironic that an Otis Parsons dropout could find such success in the fashion world, Subkoff's catwalk career continued to flourish as she appeared onscreen in such efforts as controversial Kids director Larry Clark's Teenage Caveman (2001) and the dark psychological thriller Undermind (2002). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The Ugly Truth
Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl in a completely predictable rom-com. She's the producer of a Sacramento early morning news show, he's the macho on-air personality and sex guru doling out dating advice to her. Gee, do you think they'll hook up in the end? It's a shame this story is so predictable, since the two leads play very pleasant characters whom you want to root for. But alas.

I can't say enough great things about this movie. Not only is this one of my favorite animated movies of all time - and The ol' DVD Guy here is a huge animation fan - but I think this is also one of my favorite MOVIES of all time. Great story. Beautiful characters. Sharp direction provided by (Bloomington, MN native) Pete Doctor. A gem. Get the multi-pack release, for sure - you'll find a nice price on it pretty much everywhere you go, and inside you'll have the DVD, the Blu-ray, and the digital release...that'll cover all your current and potential future viewing of this 'classic-to-be.'
