Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Duchess’ Looks Great, Ultimately Hollow

The Duchess

Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes Make ‘The Reader’ a Worthwhile Adaptation

The Reader

CHICAGO – Two of the best actors working in film today, Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet, offer enough to make “The Reader” a cinematic book worth reading, even if it’s not the masterpiece it could have been with a few different choices by its director and writer.
