Kevin Kline

Life as a House (New Line Platinum Series)

Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas

New Line Home Video, 2002

One of the best movies that I've seen in recent memory
I've had this movie on my wish list for quite some time as the description sounded interesting, but hadn't really gotten around to ordering it. I finally got the opportunity to sit down and watch this last night as a rental. I'm on line this morning to order the ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer

20th Century Fox, 2003

Greatest Shakespeare on Film
This is one of my favorite movies. The cast was stellar, the lighting and detals perfect and the actors clearly underrstand their roles and portray them well. Many of them had previous experience with the Bard (Kline and Flockheart certainly do) and bring that ...

French Kiss

Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2000

Classy and Charming Romantic Comedy
Meg Ryan helped produce this truly charming and thoughtful romantic comedy which sort of slipped in and out of theatres much too fast upon its initial release in the 90's. Perhaps because it unfolds slowly and relies on gentle charm and intelligence rather than flashes ...

Definitely, Maybe (Widescreen)

Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Kline

Universal Studios, 2008

Derfinitely True
Is Ryan Reynolds capable of making a bad movie? I am sure he must have somewhere, but I have yet to see one. And this film may be the best one yet. All three of the leading ladies were good, with Isla Fisher pitch perfect. And young Abigail Breslin will surely be a ...

In & Out

Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack

Paramount, 1998

Oh Mary, this is a fantabulous movie!!
We have LOVED this movie for years. It's Kevin Kline at his comedy best, playing a gay man thinking he's straight. What a hoot! And Joan Cusack is his beautiful bride to be. Fun for the whole family. We had it on vhs and decided that we loved it so much, we wanted it ...

The Big Chill

Tom Berenger, Glenn Close

Sony Pictures, 1999

A film for Baby Boomers -- lots of fun!
Yes, there's a funeral, which is the basis for the background story for this film -- but the dead guy would have been fine with his associates' activities over this "going back" weekend. The story is essentially this: A gregarious assemblage of Baby Boomers (now ...

Sophie's Choice

Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline

Lions Gate, 1998

Excellent filmmaking
This was my first time viewing the film-even though I knew going in what Sophie's choice was. (It's not like movie goers keep secrets) and I have to say this is an excellent character study film. Meryl Streep definitely earned her Oscar with this one. Amazing she ...

A Fish Called Wanda

Maria Aitken, Al Ashton

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

John Cleese brilliantly displays his comedic genius again!
Monty Python's John Cleese once again offers up a spectacular example of what makes him such a revered comedic force. Written by Cleese and set in London, this comedy has the drama of a bank robbery and subsequent legal proceedings and a romantic twist. Yet, this is ...

Chaplin

Robert Downey Jr., Geraldine Chaplin

Lions Gate, 1998

So Right To Have Remained British
It is probably not the best film ever made about Charlie Chaplin, and I even think it is far behind Charlie Chaplin's own autobiography on which it is supposed to be based. But it makes a couple of points rather well. First, show business is business first of all. ...

Dave

Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver

Warner Home Video, 1998

Mom's Obsession
My husband and I thought this was a really great movie and have seen it a couple of times, but my Mother (86 years young) actually made this purchase you asked me to review. My Mother received this DVD for Christmas this past year and has watched it repeatedly. ...

As You Like It

Brian Blessed, Richard Clifford

Hbo Home Video, 2007

I had a hard time deciding what to rate this movie.
I couldn't decide how many stars to give, three or four, I decided on four. My reason, I liked the movie. I laughed in it and enjoyed the romance. I loved the beauty of the music and the scenery. I liked the directing, the play was easy to follow and the words well ...

De-Lovely

Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

A lovely musical that I watch over and over.
I did not see this movie when it came out and only recently learned of it from another source. I ordered a copy, since I hate to rent movies, and in the three days we have owned it, have watched it three times. I love Kevin Kline and will watch anything he does. This ...

Silverado (2 Disc Superbit Gift Set)

Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn

Sony Pictures, 2005

Silverado
Silverado is a good action packed western. You also get a good dose of fun, laughter, adverture, and a good story. The actors mesh very well to give you great entertainment. You get all this, and a happy ending. If you like westerns, you will enjoy Silverado. Buy it ...

Soapdish

Sally Field, Kevin Kline

Paramount, 2001

it's enough to make me write one liners for a person without a head
Soapdish is a delightfully funny comedy about the actors on a soap opera (The Sun Also Sets) whose real lives top their lives on the television show. The convincing acting and the zesty script with its one liners kept my attention all the way through; and the ...

Cry Freedom

Josette Simon, Wabei Siyolwe

Universal Studios, 1999

incredible
I am sad to say that I disappointed myself by only watching half of this movie. I had to watch it in my World Lit class and of course, being a senior, I had the attitude that I didn't want to watch something that was filmed before i was even born, plus I wanted to ...
