Stand and Deliver
Edward James Olmos, Mark Eliot

EXCELLENT INSPIRATIONAL STORY!
I'm a sucker for these types of films, if they're done right! Stand and Deliver is one of them that is done right! Winning performances all around, but Edward James Olmos really stands out as the teacher with a special gift for motivating his students. I rate this film ...

The Road to El Dorado

Great fun, visually beautiful, and a kid's introduction to Mayan culture
Wow, I wouldn't add another review of this movie except that some of the posted ones are sooo bizarre!
We first rented this movie when my daughter was maybe 5 and loved it. There are several sequences where the color and animation are just stunning, and the ...

If your into history and culture than this is a great movie to watch or add to your collection. As a Dominican- American living in the USA it was great for me to see how my parents and my ancestors paved the way for me. The Genecide of Dominicans was cruel and real. A ...

Australian XO for Pegasus ... Kendra Shaw
The story of RAZOR has already been well detailed by other reviewers here so I will keep my review to pure analysis of the episode assuming that people reading this are already fans of the BSG series.

Youngest Godfather
Zachary Bennett, Philip Bosco
Platinum Disc, 2005
The Youngest Godfather
I thought the acting was excellent. I saw this first on Showtime a few years back and was very impressed with it. It showed Joe Bonnano the way that I truly belive he was. He was they only mob leader to use violence as a last resort. In no way do I condone using ...

Steve Martini's The Judge
Lolita Davidovich, Charles Durning
Platinum Disc, 2005
Very interesting, good acting.
