Foster and Wiest both give excellent, sensitive performances, ..."

Young San Francisco police inspector Ruben Goetz (Dermot Mulroney) is teamed with brilliant force vet, M.J. Monahan (Holly Hunter), a diplomatic ..."

And now he's at center stage for what has to be one of 2004's best DVD music releases. This 2004 concert is a triumphant confirmation of a mature talent, and a classy, swinging big band af ..."
