Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland
20th Century Fox, 2001
Cheesy, comedic fun.
This is a great movie for the lighthearted, cheesy, comedic angle. I prefer this type of thing to the TV series, which takes itself WAY to seriously. This movie is a great lighthearted laugh or two.

Stellar Movie In This Type of Drama Genre
There are a lot of movies out there on the market that deal with the same or similar type of theme/genre as presented in "Freedom Writers" (i.e. "Dangerous Minds", "The Ron Clark Story", "Music of the Heart", etc.)....

Boys Don't Cry
Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny
Fox Searchlight Pictures, 2000
Powerful
I find it hard to believe that anyone could watch this movie and not be moved by this powerful story. The heartbreaking part of it being that it's based off true events. Brandon was clearly suffering from some identity issues and she had run into some close calls ...

Million Dollar Baby (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Jay Baruchel, Marcus Chait
Warner Home Video, 2005
As Good as the Hype
I finally saw this the other day for the first time and have to admit it lived up to its hype. Million Dollar Baby is a great film and Hillary Swank is a magnificent actress. Her performance in these frames was as strong as it was in Boys Don't Cry. As far as her ...

Insomnia (Widescreen Edition)
Al Pacino, Robin Williams
Warner Home Video, 2002
"Wild card!"
2002's "Insomnia" is one of the most quietly melancholy American movies I've ever seen--all the characters (with the exception of Hillary Swank's annoyingly idealistic female detective Ellie Burr) are somehow grimy and have something to hide.
Robin Williams plays ...

Iron Jawed Angels
Hilary Swank, Margo Martindale
Hbo Home Video, 2004
Women Fight - Women Win - Women Vote
This is a truly wonderful film. It exposes us to the fight that women endured to obtain the right to vote. Historically speaking it is very accurate with a little bit of Hollywood thrown in of course. The female cast is outstanding and I found myself cheering at the ...

The Reaping
Hilary Swank
Warner Home Video, 2007
The Reaping Starring Hilary Swank
"The Reaping" is for the most part a good supernatural/horror film..... That is until the last 20 minutes of the storyline went completely haywire and the over-the-top special effects & the "End of Days" type theme killed the movie.
The Pros: Hilary Swank does a ...

The Gift
Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi
Paramount, 2001
Honest Film About A Southern Taboo
This movie was made in Savannah, Ga. If you saw Midnight In The Garden, you are already aware of the 'other' presence there of magic, obeah and other supernatural events. Ribisi is just incredible in this film. I really like this guy enormously. He gives 1000 ...

Dying to Belong
Sarah Chalke, Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Platinum Disc, 2005
Great video for teens
I teach "The Battle of Jericho" and this video does a pretty good job depicting the hazing issue. My female students enjoyed it more than the males.
