Tom Hanks and Russell Crowe vie for your DVD attention this week.
The International Movie Data Base (IMDB) is the industry standard forcriticala nd audience satisfaction.
A Hologram for a King. DVD. Blue-Ray. Rated R. IMDB pro-rating 6.2, with a Rotten Tomato satisfaction rating of 70? The adaptation of novelist Dave Eggers novel of the same name. More of an inner experience than a thrill ride, Tom Hanks stars as a struggling salesman who inadvertently gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he bumps into a Saudi Arabian Prince, who feels his advanced communication technology, utilizing holograms, might interest his father. He gets him a business meeting in Saudi Arabia where the fish out of water, Tom Hanks, meets a charming Saudi Doctor(Sarita Choudhury) and a smart talking taxi driver, who help him to see the world through different eyes.
Fathers and Daughters. DVD. IMDB pro-rating 7.1. Rated R. Relying on the cliche that women who have Daddy issues become self-destructive sex addicts, until they find a man like Daddy is the theme that rises out of this literary melodrama. Hopping between the childhood and adulthood of Katie (played by Kylie Rogers and Amanda Seyfried), the daughter of brilliant but troubled writer Jake Davis played by Russell Crowe. A drunken car crash kills Katie’s mom, causing her father’s to become institutionalization with psychological troubles, and the need for Jake’s sister-in-law (Diane Kruger) to fight for custody of her niece. Some sexual content.
