Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry

Paramount, 2000

Get a clue; get this movie...
Quite possibly one of the best ensemble pieces ever, `Clue' is one of my favorite comedies of all time. It perfectly captures the essence of the beloved board game in a hilarious romp of whodunits that keeps the audience guessing (and laughing) until the very end. ...

You've Got Mail

Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan

Warner Home Video, 1999

"Just the beat of my heart. I have mail, from you...."
"All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings." -- Kathleen This captivating film from Nora Ephron about finding that special someone who makes our heart beat faster and lends love to our small lives is one of the best. While no adaptation of ...

Meet Joe Black

Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins

Universal Home Video, 2007

Death and taxes.
Well, if you aren't touched at least 65 minutes into the film (the hospital scene), I don't know when it'll hit you. Wow. Great performances by Anthony Hopkins as Bill Parrish and Brad Pitt, as Joe (Death) Black. Claire Forlani couldn't have been better cast for her ...

Halloween II

Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence

Universal Studios, 2001

The Nightmare has just begun...
I love HALLOWEEN II! I love how it takes place right after the original ended! Michael has been shot six times by Dr. Loomis, but he gets up and walks away! Loomis continues his hunt and Laurie Strode is taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Michael stalks the ...

Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me (New Line Platinum Series)

Mike Myers, Heather Graham

New Line Home Entertainment, 2004

I know it's a silly movie, but I loved it
Having not been that thrilled with the first Austin Powers movie, I was completely surprised that I giggled all the way through this one. Maybe it was because the female lead is Austin's equal in the free love game. Maybe just because I have loved Micheal York ...

Galaxy Quest

Patrick Breen, Jeffrey Howard

Dreamworks Video, 2000

Galaxy Quest
Just a rousing good time for those of us who are star trek/science fiction fans. The premise is fun and the cast is perfect. We have watched this movie repeatedly and quote lines from it all the time. It always makes us chuckle. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Deluxe Edition)

Christine Baranski, Jim Carrey

Universal Studios, 2002

Happy Christmas
I never tire of Jim Carrey. This is both a sad and happy Christmas film.

14 Hours (Fox Film Noir)

Paul Douglas, Richard Basehart

20th Century Fox, 2006

Excellent value
Great film noir that keeps you in the action from the very start. Not only a plausible story line for today, it also shows the "non-technical" aspect of police work from days long past. An excellent movie with an all star cast. Refreshingly absent are computer ...

Lady in the Water (Widescreen Edition)

Paul Giamatti, Bryce Dallas Howard

Warner Bros. Pictures, 2006

Uniquely Beautiful
Beautiful. Poetic. Humorous, and a bit scary, too (just enough - don't worry, you can watch it alone.) UNIQUE. 50 years from now, when the rest of the idiotic movies being produced today are forgotten, M. Night Shyamalan's works are going to be hailed as ...

Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (Uncensored)

William Shatner, Jason Alexander

Comedy Central, 2007

"You People Just Aren't That Funny!"
William Shatner might have spoken the only line of truth during the roast when it was finally his turn to get up and take his own shots at the line of "comedians" and co-stars who gathered together to hurl insults at the legendary William Tiberius Shatner! Because, in ...

The Grinch (Widescreen Edition)

Christine Baranski, Jim Carrey

Universal Studios, 2001

Happy Christmas
I never tire of Jim Carrey. This is both a sad and happy Christmas film.

Lackawanna Blues

S. Epatha Merkerson, Marcus Carl Franklin

Hbo Home Video, 2005

Great Film-making!
I absolutely LOVE this movie. Great story, directing and all-star cast. S. Epatha Merkerson was remarkable and needs more roles she can sink her teeth into. She makes it look so natural. Love her.

The Wraith

Charlie Sheen, Nick Cassavetes

Platinum Disc, 2002

Timeless...in an odd way
This film raises questions at every turn: Where are all the parents? How old is Packard Walsh supposed to be? If it is a magic car, how come it has a Dodge logo on it? And where do the lovebirds drive off to in the end, outerspace or spring break? This is from the era ...

Life Stinks

Billy Barty, Marvin Braverman

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Right Up There With "City Lights"
After being criticized for producing mostly spoof movies, Mel Brooks departed from that genre and returned to the semi-real world of his early two films "The Producers" and "The Twelve Chairs." "Life Stinks" is a Chaplinesque fable that focused on the very real ...
