David Duchovny Books

Duchovny is a genius. He loves chickens and Lola-Lola. Anything he can do I can do better...like kissing and monkey loving his hot dog. Witness the prodigy in action.

The Secret Files X is the best series in television of the last 10 years, and the actors main characters are of the best. As much Gillian as David put him realism and it forces to the characterization of their characters. To my view the production of calendars and other objects make that the liking grows of the I publish super toward this series.

I always buy his calendar and this year is even better than last one... I just love it!!

This calendar contains some great David Photos for every month of the year. It is a muss for every fan. I can't wait to see the Calendar for the year 2002!

Showtime has basically been the "little brother" to HBO when it comes to original programming. But in recent seasons, they have produced some wonderful series. To name a few, "Dead Like Me", "Brotherhood", "Huff", and this gem, "Californication."

Duchovny has never been better. His dry, hip delivery is totally captivating. The sensuous woman who plays his ex[?] wife makes me want to divorce my first wife, and his daughter is absolutely delightful.

All of the "supporting" characters are amazing.....the scripts are witty, erudite and literate.... I could go on, but all I can really say is...WATCH THIS SHOW!! You will NOT be disappointed!

There is alot of unsensable blah blah about it beinglucky to suck Foxy D.D's ears because he is harry,thats socially insensitive,unscientific,abuse.Scully should get bittersweat with Sandy Pandea let goss-ip go-round about that. I think it is wrong to commercialize the show. I do not believe the imprint will positive-ly impress youth. More hate crime gangs will trickle outof youth centres. Court proceedings will be monopolizedmore(PETRI/MELVILLE)There will be more rape and vandolismWomen like Anderson will be more motivated to plot elab-orate copycat crimes and phantasmic oratorio. People wantto know more about ELROY and EQUS or TROY. And want toknow less about Mulder. The unauthorized biography is often missing from a librairy (As Parkland)where a witchybedde exists. Youth will not reap wisdom but will sacri-fice the polluted offerings.Mayhem will be sown at themilitairy colledges where the video is seen. It will becriticized in many tongues by plebs desireouse to havetheir deceptions amortized, then the pages will be soiledthat is how all of Anderson's journalesse is destin toend. Her tapes do not even make it through the machineany more. I'm afraid to order there is a K.G.B plot tostop this information from enfluenceing the public. Themob KK & CSIS/INSUREGUARD do not want this Govt. to beorganized, The RCMP/Downtown biz assoc. won't affirm though always go for more baited chuck down arguements &jap floor-tradeing.

This is by far the best book I have ever read about David Duchovny, and Shakespeare aside, my favorite book EVER! I truly view it in the biblical sense. It is indispensible! I carry it with me practically everywhere, and am constantly flipping through my dog-eared pages for quick reference into something. There is a funny internet section, instructions for the X-Files drinking game, a complete David Duchovny filmography, several candid interviews, an exceptionally well-written biography, color photos, a fabulous episode synopsis, lots of gossip about David's personal life (written in a polite, non-voyeuristic fashion), Mulderisms/Scullyisms, etc. I could go on and on! David Duchovny is so interesting and poetic, and Paul mitchell does an excellent job with this book. A difinative masterpiece!

I love David Duchovny, don't get me wrong. However, I could barely make it through his biography. It's written in a very disjointed fashion, and everything mentioned is so out-of-order. It's also VERY outdated; so it's not even really worth getting now. The picture section, I will admit, is awesome; some of the best photos of David yet. The X-Files episode guide is extremely outdated; it only goes to season 3. 5 years ago, this book would have been a joy for me to read. But being madly in love with David Duchovny, I already know most of what was in there. If you want anything recent on David, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. The mediocre writing quality and ancient episode guide really isn't worth it.

Now David Duchoveny, he is a truly engrossing person, both in looks and in talent. And the x-files, that is a truly engrossing show, the only television program that is, I do believe. Duchoveny portrays Mulder excellently and this book is nice and informative about both Mulder and Duchoveny.

In the book, The Duchovny Files, you will learn about David Duchovny and how he became one of T.V.'s greatest actors. This book is packed full of information having to do with both David, his work, and The X-Files. In reviewing books about the show, I have found this to be one of the best books ever written. It is a great book for both fans and non-fans of the show to read! If you are a beginner of the show, I suggest reading this book, and The Anderson Files. Both books will caputre the minds of the readers. If you are a fan of the show, then you will be facinated with all the information this book gives out. It is packed full of Mulderisms and Scullyisms, a special section with facts from the show, and Lots of Color Photos! Remember that, "The Truth Is Out There," and keep on believing in the truth!

This movie is unexpected, offering complex characters struggling with basic human emotions. The characters long for acceptance while desperately seeking their autonomy. The movie takes you places you don't expect, provokes feelings you don't expect, and leads you a place of resolution. This is a great film to watch and have a discussion follow. It is the kind of movie that you can watch several times and glean new perspectives and insights. You may find yourself reflecting on your own journey....It isn't until the end when you learn the meaning of the title.

The best things about this movie is that the leads NEVER get together.

Moving and powerful.

A really heart warming film.I think Halle was really sweet in this.Benicio del toro preformance was great!

That's who I'm giving the two stars to--the young actor and actress playing the children of Halle Berry and David Duchovny.
The rest of the film is deficient in many ways:
1. Berry plays a mean, crazy beeyotch of a widow who wasn't all that nice to her ex-husband and is of two minds when it comes to dealing with his best friend, the heroin addict played by Benicio Del Toro. Berry is always "on"; everything is life and death; she does not know how to play a character with subtlety or nuance. Also, she calls her husband abusive for no good reason, then tells his friend she's angry with him for helping their son get his head under water in the pool--which is what her husband had tried to do, and for that she called him abusive! It makes no sense.
2. Multiple close-ups of actors' eyes are neither necessary nor impressive.
3. Duchovny is wasted in his tiny role as the murdered husband.
4. Too many characters repeat the same lines several times. Dumb script/dialogue.
5. Nothing much comes of the potential romance or other connection between del Toro and Berry.

Rent something else.

This HD-DVD exhibits A Perfect Picture Quility in MPEG4-AVC.As A viewer you almost feel like part of this film!This human study is so compelling and intensly frightful at the same time.Brilliant acting,Halle and Benico are amazing.The camera close-up's pull you in to there very soul's,and work like the silence of thunder on my own soul.The sound is unspectacular but precise,there are a lot of details that create a very realistic ambience ,This HD-DVD is a must have.

If you want to know who mulder really is! Your love this biography! David Duchovny is a god!!!! READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

It is one of the best books I've read. Oh, its everything you want to know about David Duchovny. It gives you his life from when he was child to a wonderful superstar. You'll love this book if you like David Duchovny.!!!!

I thought this book was more informative on David's movies than THE actual David Duchovny. I love The X-Files and David Duchovny but wouldn't say that this was informative enough on the David I want to know about. I wanted to know what he is like, what kinds of things he likes and this book only told me about his movies. Even though, it was informative on the good and bad movies of Mr.Du, I think the author could have done better. I wanted to know the real David.

Attenborough's Chaplin offers a more politicalized perspective on this iconic star of American cinema. The film focuses on Chaplin's (played by Robert Downey Jr.) rise and fall in American film, culiminating in his exile from the United States after Hoover's relentless attempts to prove him a communist threat finally succeeded. Downey Jr. is really quite good as Chaplin, especially in the evolution of his English accent. (Although as the elderly Chaplin, he is a bit creepy). Anyone who is a tried and true fan of Chaplin, however, will find many details to criticize: his facial expressions aren't quite right, his physical movements don't quite capture the grace of Chaplin's. But, overall, it is a fine film, offering a fascinating glimpse of the personal and political life of perhaps the greatest film star of all time.

ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. is at his best. His portrayal of Chaplin gave me a real appreciation of the man and his talents. I am now watching as many of the old Chaplin movies as I can find.

Downey's performance in Chaplin is a one-man tour de force. Done at a time before Downey's own problems started creating problems for his acting career, it is probably the role for which he will be best remembered. Downey shows Chaplin to be a complex, multifacetted man who had many both good and bad qualities, but most importantly, was a creative and even visionary artist whose approach still couldn't halt the advent of the talkies. As Downey says in the movie, "If the little tramp speaks, the mystery is gone." But for better or for worse, the technology and the art of cinema were taking off in a different direction, after which it would never be quite the same. Overall Downey's best movie and one that should stand the test of time.

Byt the way, this is an interesting snippet from a brief bio of Chaplin's life from the IMBD website, which I thought I'd post here:

"In contrast to many of his boisterous characters, Chaplin was a quiet man who kept to himself a lot. He also had an "un-millionaire" way of living. Even after he had accumulated millions, he continued to live in shabby accommodations.

In 1921 Chaplin was decorated by the French government for his outstanding work as a filmmaker, and was elevated to the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1952. In 1972 he was honored with an Academy Award for his "incalculable effect in making motion pictures the art form of the century." In 1975 England's Queen Elizabeth II knighted him. Chaplin's other works included musical scores he composed for many of his films. He also authored two autobiographical books, "My Autobiography" in 1964 and its companion volume, "My Life in Pictures" in 1974. Chaplin died of natural causes on December 25, 1977 at his home in Switzerland.

In 1978, Chaplin's corpse was stolen from its grave and was not recovered for three months; he was re-buried in a vault surrounded by cement. Charlie Chaplin was considered one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of American cinema, whose movies were and still are popular throughout the world, and have even gained notoriety as time progresses. His films show, through the Little Tramp's positive outlook on life in a world full of chaos, that the human spirit has and always will remain the same.

I don't care for the light used in this movie. Rest of the movie is really good.

`Chaplin' has a lot going for it. It's a biopic and that always rests well with me. The subject of that said biopic is a man who was famous for his ability to entertain. The star cast in that important role of lead delivers a performance so electrifying there's no wonder why he received the Oscar nomination. The rest of the cast is so star studded you're drawn to the prospect of what you'll see, even if every apart from the star is limited in their screen time. It's faithfully directed by a man who adored and respected his subject. But, without a script, without a story none of this really matters. So, what makes `Chaplin' a film worth every second is the fact that it tells quite a story.

The life of Charlie Chaplin was one filled with rises and falls. He started off struggling but then rose almost immediately before falling back down only to be lifted up once again. It's a rollercoaster of a way to live, but it makes for one interesting journey for the audience. Charlie Chaplin started his life dirt poor. What made things worse was the fact that his mother, for her own good, was admitted to an asylum while Charlie was still quite young. His mothers theatrical aspirations did have an impact on Charlie though, a good one, for he soon made a name for himself as a comedian of the stage. It wasn't until he moved to the states to pursue film roles though that he became the face behind silent film.

`Chaplin' would be little more than a good story without the brilliant performance given by Robert Downey Jr., a performance that captures the essence that was Charlie Chaplin and exposes this man to the full. Downey Jr. understands Chaplin and brings so much light and charisma to this role, a role that defined him as a star and not just a Hollywood bad-boy. I only wish that Robert Downey Jr. could receive more roles of this nature for he really sinks his teeth into this performance and drags out something everyone can admire and respect. He captured the emotional depth of this man while embellishing the signature charm and comedic grace of the legend himself. A far cry from a mere mimic, Downey Jr. slipped away inside this man and recreated him from the ground up.

Sadly, this was released the same year as `Malcolm X' so I can't truthfully say that Robert Downey Jr. was robbed of the Oscar. In fact Denzel Washington was robbed of the Oscar, but that's for another review.

The film exposes the good as well as the bad times in this mans life, from his womanizing days, his many marriages and his confrontations with J. Edgar Hoover, a volatile relationship that caused much heartache in Chaplin's life. It never rushes things but takes it time to flesh out this man and create a feeling of truly knowing him inside and out. Apparently the original cut of the film was nearly four hours long, and while that seems like a long time I'd be interested in seeing the film in its entirety for I'm sure there is so much more of this mans life that would be intriguing to discover. Still, with all the cuts made to the film it never appears condensed or lacking.

The film sports a slew of supporting performances, all of which are brilliantly crafted by the cast. Geraldine Chaplin plays her own grandmother Hannah effortlessly with such commanding presence and Paul Rhys is able to play second fiddle to the star without giving up is star power entirely. The beautiful actresses who played the women in Charlie's life all do splendid jobs, Diane Lane in particular is stunning and makes the most lasting impression. Moira Kelly is wonderful as Chaplin's loving wife Oona, but she lacks the screen presence that Lane brings to her performance. Milla Jovovich is stunning as Charlie's first wife Mildred and Dan Aykroyd is in top form as Mack Sennett and delivers an exciting and well rounded comedic performance. The cast is so extensive it's really hard to single out everyone, but one performer that needs to be mentioned is Kevin Kline who just delivers effortlessly as Charlie's good friend Douglas Fairbanks. He's charming and graceful and so in tune with her character it's an utter joy to watch.

`Chaplin' delivers everything you could ask for in a biopic. It's interesting, informative, entertaining and commanding, giving us reasons to laud, admire and sympathize with a man who brought so much joy to so many people.
