 | The Pallbearer [Read More ...]
Description: David Schwimmer plays a drifting twentysomething who receives a telephone call out of the blue to be a pallbearer at the funeral of someone he supposedly knew in school. Trouble is, the caller has mistaken Schwimmer's character for someone else, but our hapless hero--who still li... |
 | A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries [Read More ...]
Review: Interesting Father-Daughter Film:This film is well-acted, understated, and interesting as an insight into an unusual family's life in 1960s France and 1970s America. It is not an action movie and it is not plot-driven, but it dwells rather upon the relationships that develop ove... |
![]() | Right Stuff (Spanish) (Sub) [Read More ...]
Description: Philip Kaufman's intimate epic about the Mercury astronauts (based on Tom Wolfe's book) was one of the most ambitious and spectacularly exciting movies of the 1980s. It surprised almost everybody by not becoming a smash hit. By all rights, the film should have been every bit the... |
 | Swing Kids [Read More ...]
Description: This strange movie with a niche subject--jazz-loving, dance-loving German kids persecuted by Hitler's men--almost works, thanks to a good cast who seem devoted to the unusual story line. Director Thomas Carter doesn't bring the necessary stylistic oomph to the musical sequences, ... |

Magnificent!:All Acting (especially Richard Harris), Directing, Writing, Set Design were rivetingly magnificent. Clearly shows the benefit of depending on God's mercy for guidance and protection. Unforgettable story! |

 | Breakfast of Champions [Read More ...]
Description: Director Alan Rudolph's adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Breakfast of Champions centers on suicidal car dealer Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis), his drug- and television-addled wife Celia (Barbara Hershey), his cross-dressing sales manager Harry (Nick Nolte), his dim secretary and... |

Comedy:I bought this from the cast list and it was worth the buy. Very funny and the great cast makes the movie fun to watch. |
 | Drowning on Dry Land [Read More ...]
Description: With only a handful of films, director Carl-Jan Colpaert has established himself as an original--undisciplined and overly whimsical, perhaps, but possessed of playful irony, a fondness for quirky development, and a fine eye for how figures look best silhouetted against an unvarie... |
 | A Dangerous Woman [Read More ...]
Review: Debra Winger leads fine cast in important story:Except for a small, slight logical extension to the end, this adaptation is completely faithful to the book. To keep it to a reasonable length, chunks of plot and exposition in the original book have been left out - for example, th... |

![]() | Hannah and Her Sisters [Read More ...]
Description: Considered by many to be Woody Allen's best film, even over Annie Hall. Hannah and Her Sisters follows a multitude of characters: Hannah (Mia Farrow), who plays den mother to her extended family; her sister Lee (Barbara Hershey), emotional and a bit of a flake, who's involved wit... |

Spine tingling:This movie is intense to the point of making your skin crawl! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies like this and not to anyone who is a weenie. |

![]() | The Last Temptation of Christ [Read More ...]
Description: It isn't difficult to imagine why this 1988 retelling of the Crucifixion story was picketed vociferously upon release--this Jesus bears little resemblance to the classical Christ, who was not, upon careful review of the Gospels, ever reported to have had sex with Barbara Hers... |
![]() | Paris Trout [Read More ...]
Description: Based on a tough and unsparing novel about the nature of racism by Pete Dexter, this TV movie offers strong performances but ultimately can't match the book's power. Dennis Hopper plays Paris Trout, a cruel, angry Southerner who thinks he still lives in the days when white men ki... |
![]() | The Public Eye [Read More ...]
Review: Well worth releasing on DVD!:I have enjoyed this movie more times than I can remember. Joe Pesci is perfect as the scrappy tabloid photographer who at heart feels that what he is doing is also an ART. The film is about vindicating himself as an artist and reclaiming his personal ... |
