"Shattered Glass" ($11.98)
True story about a falling journalist, and a habitual liar, Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen). Stephen Glass was on a smooth path to fame while writing for "The New Republic" and being a featured writer for such magazines as "George", and "Rolling Stone". When Adam Penenberg (Steve Zahn) stumbles across Stephen's most famous article "Hack Heaven". Adam suddenly notices that Stephen's article could be a fake. The rest of the movie shows Adam getting closer and closer to finding out Stephen's article is a fake. And Stephen using his smooth antics of trying to get out of the pickle he's in.
Release Date: March 23, 2004
Runtime: 94
Picture: Great picture, better then it was in theatres. Even though that isn't saying much. 9/10
Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1, Sound is nice and clear. Subtitles in English and Spanish.
Also commentary by writer/director Billy Ray and former "New Republic" editor Chuck Lane. 10/10
Extras:
- Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 5.1)
- "60 Minutes" interview with the real Stephen Glass.
The Extras aren't anything to jump out of your pants for. If you want to buy it for the special features, then I'd just sit tight and wait for some kind of "Deluxe Edition" to come out.
Overall:
Great acting, shows that Hayden Christensen can really do an extraordinary job when he's not acting in "Star Wars". But it does lack in the special features department. Easily one of my favorite movies of 2003.
9/10
