Lewis & Clark - The Journey of the Corps of Discovery

Hal Holbrook, Adam Arkin

Pbs Paramount, 2004

Ken Burns is the best
As someone who's working on a novel about western 19th century America, this documentary is amazing. The questions it leaves us with are one's of wonder--how did they survive? They traipsed across the country in a boat, in horseback, and by foot. And back. They ...

The Postman

Kevin Costner, Will Patton

Warner Home Video, 1998

Guaranteed to shed a tear!
The Postman brings to the screen the story of a drifter in a post-apocalyptic United States where the government has collapsed, bandits are roaming the land terrorizing survivors, and hope is at an all time low. It is a film about love, hope, and inner strength, but ...

Shadows and Fog

Victor Argo, Kathy Bates

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Developed appreciation of this sleeper classic
I original saw "Shadows and Fog" when it first came out on home video in like 1993 or 1994. When I saw this movie for the first time, it is safe to say "I didn't get it". I mean I liked it alright, but I really didn't get it. I think most people felt the same way, ...

Basic Instinct (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone

Lions Gate, 2007

One of my favorites growing up
Paul Verhoeven has created a masterwork from Joe Eszterhas' controversial script. Several sex scenes become a leitmotif, as the participants appear to pummel, rather than love, one another with their nether parts. But the most rugged and the most erotic scene occurs ...

The Faculty

Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall

Dimension, 1999

should be a classic of some kind
I love this movie so worth getting shipped here, it's got everything except tear jerking moments (thankfully). It makes you hate people, laugh and jump once in a while. To me this is like the scream of invasion movies.

Super Troopers

Christian Albrizio, Aria Alpert

20th Century Fox, 2002

There's a reason it's a cult classic
Super Trooper is a wacky tale chronicling the happenings of the Highway Patrol as they arrest criminals, battle the local Police Department over jurisdiction, and get into all sorts of shenanigans while pulling pranks on the job. The clear allure of this movie is ...

Basic Instinct - Director's Cut (Ultimate Edition)

Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone

One of my favorites growing up
Paul Verhoeven has created a masterwork from Joe Eszterhas' controversial script. Several sex scenes become a leitmotif, as the participants appear to pummel, rather than love, one another with their nether parts. But the most rugged and the most erotic scene occurs ...

A Civil Action

John Travolta, Robert Duvall

Walt Disney Video, 1999

A page turner
A heart wrenching page turner! You will root for this guy all along. You will bite your nails, become invested and get your heart broken. Don't bother renting the movie.

Disney's The Kid

Bruce Willis, Spencer Breslin

Walt Disney Video, 2001

the kid--
bruce willis has his job cut out for himself when he discovers a young boy stalking him. The boy has a message for him but he has to give into the kid in him. This is one of mr. willis's best movies. My family absolutely loves this movie.

Three Sovereigns for Sarah

"3 Sovereigns" way beyond 5 star entertainment! A MUST-SEE!
Lord,have mercy on us all!! This film came recommended by a friend and I am writing this review angry,incensed,upset,sad and still in disbelief at what I just saw in American Playhouse's PBS DVD release of the 1985 "Three Sovereigns for Sarah." Not only is this ...

The movie is about ghosts. First, the ghost of the dead fisherman and the trial of the Japanese-American accused of his murder. Second, the ghost of a long ago childhood forbidden love affair between the small town newspaper editor/publisher's son and the now-wife of ...

The Majestic

Gerry Black, Earl Boen

Warner Home Video, 2002

Jim Carey at his best
We've always loved the Majestic, but it's especially poignant watching it now, as America is at war. The small town that rescues Jim Carey's character is what we all want; the sincere sharing of joys and sorrows with others that have been where we've been. I don't ...

Truman

Humble man who did great things!
This is the story of a humble man who, not of his own choosing, stubbernly was called upon to make one of the most serious decisions of any man: Drop the first nuclear weapons devised by man to save lives. The portrayal by Gary Sinse and others was excellent and ...
