Paul Newman, Sally Field

Sony Pictures, 1998

An accurate portrayal of journalism
When this movie came out, I was a reporter at a daily newspaper. I went to "Absence of Malice" fully prepared to hate it. Instead, I came away thinking that it was an accurate and believable portrayal of what happens in a newsroom. To this day, I am bothered that ...

Silkwood

Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Silkwood: One Of The Best
Wonderful intriguing movie. Makes you wonder and Think, like a good movie should. I hope Mike Nichols decides to do a movie on the 2008 Presidential Primary race: how Hillary Clinton received more votes than any of her rivals, and more votes than any Presidential ...

The Invasion

Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig

Warner Home Video, 2008

Pod People Need Love Too
The Good Things *A few good, well-placed special effects. *Good, strong, vivid photography and filming style. At the very least, it is not too dull to watch. *Still a valid and watchable story with strong themes about the dangers of society being invaded from the ...

Chances Are
It is an old movie which I had enjoyed and I wantd a copy for my collection

The Family Man

Nicolas Cage, Téa Leoni

Universal Studios, 2001

One of those, "I'm SOOOO glad I saw this!" movies...
Just one of those times when I was sitting at the TV channel surfing, and low and behold, "Family Man" came on, the credits and all. It said Nick Cage, and for a second I wasn't sure if I had missed it, or if it was just starting. I fell in love with Nick in "City Of ...

X-Men - The Last Stand (Widescreen Edition)

Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry

20th Century Fox, 2006

X-men The Last STand is Great
X-men 3 was plagued with obstacles during its making: several director switches, ridiculous time restraints, etc. But it truly shows how amazing X-men is that, despite all of the troubles to get it made, it is a FANTASTIC movie. It is very emotional and exciting. It is ...

Malice

Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

"Speak of the Devil..."
Tracy and Andy Safian (Nicole Kidman, Bill Pullman) are a young couple just starting out in life. He's an associate dean at the college and she's a teacher, and their big, old house needs repairs. To make ends meet, they rent out the upstairs room to an old high ...

The Sum of All Fears (Special Collector's Edition)

Ben Affleck, Alan Bates

Paramount, 2002

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT BUT WITH A SOBERING TOPIC
I've had this DVD on the shelf for a few years but never watched it. And the book is one of Tom Clancy's I'd never read. Having the three other DVDs of Clancy's books I kinda knew what to expect. But the movie was a pleasant surprise in its realism of just what a small ...

Patch Adams - Collector's Edition

Robin Williams, Daniel London

Universal Studios, 2002

Great movie, bit of a chick flick, Will make you laugh
I've always been a fan of Robin Williams. He's managed to make many many great movies. This being one of his best ever. Working in the medical field myself for many years I've always been partial to good movies like these that relate to what I do. People in hospital ...

Shaft

Samuel L. Jackson, Philip Bosco

Paramount, 2000

GOOD MOVIE
This was an entertaining movie, which is more than I can say for some other movies that get rave reviews. I guess everyone sees things differently, therefore, form different opinions. Compared to Shaft of the past, this one doesn't stack up, but I don't think the ...

X-Men - The Last Stand (Full Screen Edition)

Nobody's Fool

Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy

Paramount, 2003

Less is more
This is a gentle, small movie about small-town living and its citizens, particularly a blatantly unapologetic ne'er-do-well named Sully (Paul Newman) who has lived his life exactly as he wants to and manages, by optimism and the bonding in this town, to survive quite ...

D.A.R.Y.L.

Mary Beth Hurt, Michael McKean

Paramount, 2004

Still think the 80's Generation was more Original versus today.
I liked this movie quite a bit. I always wondered if they would make a sequel in the future nope not as of yet the story was cool the characters were well the aliens were so 80's but it was fun to watch and not boring.It was the same with Flight Of The Navigator sad it ...

Strange Days

Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett

20th Century Fox, 2002

Strange Sizzle N Sparks
Hadn't seen this film in forever. Saw it a couple times when it came out. Just watched it again today. Wow! I totally forgot how amazing it was. It's still relevant and a work of art today. I haven't seen anything like it since it came out in '95. The idea of ...
