Evan Almighty Review
A wonderful family movie that shows good morals and values and reminds you that just becasue things may seem wrong or out of whack it doesn;t mean that there isn't a good reason. it also reminds us that God is in control and He will place us where we need to be and ...

Mommie Dearest (Special Collector's Edition)

Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid

Paramount, 2006

Dunaway Is As Good As Brando Ever Was
I don't know if this review will reach anyone. Hopefully someone. This dvd is a must for anyone who has seen this film and loved it or anyone who wants to see it. Also an excellent way to learn more about Joan Crawfod and more importantly, Faye Dunaway. Dunaway ...

Easy Rider

Luana Anders, Luke Askew

Sony Pictures, 2002

You had to be there to get it...
Having read many of the worst reviews, I can fully appreciate where the kids are "coming from". They don't really get it because it was too full of the symbols of the time in which the film was shot. It is obviously not a piece of timeless art intended for future ...

Invincible

Mark Wahlberg, Greg Kinnear

Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 2006

Well-done movie about an unlikely hero
This is a nice story of an unlikely hero along the lines of another Disney movie, The Rookie (starring Dennis Quaid). This time, the sport is football, not baseball, and setting is Philadelphia in the mid-70s. The hometown team, the Eagles, have been lousy for too ...

Some Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector's Edition)

Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson

Paramount, 2006

I've always loved this movie!
This is one of thr best teen movies to come out in the 1980's. The characters were well developed and had more than one dimesion. There was good and bad in ALL of the charcters, just like there is in real people. I love how confident Eric is, getting along with Amanda, ...

Scrooged

Bill Murray, Karen Allen

Paramount, 1999

Scrooged
This is a great Christmas movie! It is a new take on an old favorite that stars Bill Murray. He plays the sharp tongued Frank Cross, and he is really good at being mean. David Johansen was scary as the ghost of Christmas past, Carol Kane was the ghost of Christmas ...

Masada - The Complete Epic Mini-Series

Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss

Koch Vision, 2007

"We have won a rock in the middle of a wasteland on the shore of a poisoned sea."
Back in 1981 this epic mini-series about the ill-fated Jewish rebellion against Roman rule pulled in what was then the biggest TV audience of all time, yet it's languished on the shelf forgotten for the past couple of decades. This DVD isn't even released by producers ...

Escanaba in da Moonlight

Joey Albright, Kayla Bialik

Monarch Video, 2002

Annual Hunting Movie
My husband and his three brothers are avid hunters. They discovered this movie years ago. When I found it on Amazon, I ordered one for the Deer Camp, and one for home. The men watch it every year. It is strange, but I think much of the humor is geared towards men,they ...

MAGNIFICIENT NOSTALGIC ROMANCE
Out of Africa The story of a Danish woman (Meryl Streep) who finds herself running a farm in Africa from 1913 after her husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) decides to opt out for the life of a hunter. The first half is brilliantly paced and immaculately acted, but the ...

The Island

Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor

Fantastic Action
Freaking excellent. One of the better movies I've ever seen. I would recommend it to anyone.

Havoc (Unrated Version)

Anne Hathaway, Bijou Phillips

New Line Home Video, 2005

Havoc-Anne Hathaway
Seems a bit out of character for Ms Hathaway, but shows her versatility as an actress, not to mention shes HOT. Looking forword to more of her in some more dramatic parts. Shes totally cool . .

Stand and Deliver

Edward James Olmos, Mark Eliot

Warner Home Video, 1998

stand and deliver
This was a great movie. I had to have this for a leadership class where we identified the leadership styles of the teacher, principal and the department head.

Critters

Dee Wallace, M. Emmet Walsh

New Line Home Video, 2003

"They have weapons???? F##&!!!!"
B-movies seem to have a special place in my heart. This was no excpetion. Another one of those 80's campy sci-fi movies that makes you wonder why you like this movie and how come you haven't changed the channel, lol. Basically, this is about interstellar furballs ...

Akeelah and the Bee (Widescreen Edition)

Angela Bassett, Laurence Fishburne

Lionsgate, 2006

Surprisingly well done!
I had avoided this movie! Particularly because Starbucks had it all over the place and they talked up how it was such a family film, etc. Usually, I find such films pretty smarmy when the advertising makes a great effort to get that point across. I finally saw ...
