Kimberly J. Brown, Judith Hoag

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Disney, 2005

AMAZING! GREAT! AWESOME! BEST FOUR!
I personally am a Halloweentown fan and love all of the movies. I loved Halloweentown and the sequel a lot. I actually liked Halloweentown better than the sequel as Kal casts the grey spell and turns everything of halloweentown and everyone grey and boring and Aggy and ...

The Prestige

Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2007

You'll Care About the Film in this Box
Nolan's Prestige, like many of his films, is a dark, somber exploration of human emotions, ambitions and failings. It features many of Nolan's artistic touches, including his trademark out-of-sequence narrative, so those of you who hate this format will be irritated by ...

Hulk [Blu-ray]

Cara Buono, Jennifer Connelly

Universal Studios, 2008

Five stars for Ang's HULK??? YES!!!!!
I think this is another case of the domino effect. One critic gives it a bad review, the next does, the one after that will, and then swarms of people just watch it, looking for the problems the critics point out and call it a bad film. I think we should be able to ...

The Goonies

Jeb Stuart Adams, Steve Antin

Warner Home Video, 2007

A classic that will never die...
This is one of these great old movies which will always be a classic, and stands out among all the shill that is produced today. I'm proud to be a stickler of the old school, and this movie definitely reinforces that!

Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)

Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis

Weinstein Company, 2006

Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number.
This film took me by surprise. It is an excellent movie with a compelling story, wonderful acting and brilliant direction. I have not seen this intense a movie since "The Departed". Josh Hartnett is great in this film. One of the best performances I have seen him in. ...

Beetlejuice [Blu-ray]

Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis

WARNER HOME VIDEO, 2008

ONE OF THE BEST GHOST STORIES I KNOW.....
Here is a movie that is top notch in a lot of ways. It's a great family movie. Some may not agree, but I say it is. Adults will understand it more but kids will love the colorful creatures, even though several aspects of the film will fly right over their heads. Tim ...

Persuasion

Rupert Penry-Jones, Sally Hawkins

BBC Warner, 2008

beautiful love story
I agree with some on the reviews that yes Anne running around at the end was kind of odd. But the kiss was tender with the tear. Rupert is sex on legs as Captain Wentworth. I would watch the movie 100 times again just to look at him. Sally as Anne was a amazing role. I ...

Willow (Special Edition)

Billy Barty, Tony Cox

20th Century Fox, 2001

Fantastic Movie!
Willow was such a delightful movie. I've had the movie for years and about every two years I play it again--it's that entertaining. You would think Hollywood would take the hint and had sequels to this movie. I feel this way about Clash of the Titans also--still ...

Spellbound

Jean Acker, Irving Bacon

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Spellbound is spellbinding
Not the greatest Hitchcock film, but ironically it has four of Hitchcock's greatest sequences, all of them mind benders as befits a crime story about headshrinkers gone rotten. The famous Salvador Dali dream sequence is everything it has become famous for, a ...

Notes on a Scandal

Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett

20th Century Fox, 2007

two needy women
This is a great film and is somewhat of a cautionary tale about two women who are emotionally needy. One woman is a veteran school teacher who commands respect from both the staff at the school and the students. The other is a new school teacher who is extremely ...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Timothy Bateson, Helena Bonham Carter

Warner Home Video, 2007

Excellent edition.
I had previously only watched the standard DVD edition of the film, which was a really bad transfer, very noisy. This transfer, however, is stunningly crisp. Blu-ray also offers a much better interaction with the menus. Even if you already own a copy of this movie on ...

Legally Blonde (Special Edition)

Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Sweertheart of a film!
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not groundbreaking, it has no pretensions of greatness -- but it's absolutely tops for wonderful laughs and a cute chick-lit kind of story. Legally Blonde is more endearing every time I watch it.
