Lori Petty, Ice-T

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Keeping comic book movies comical
This campy cult classic keeps on delivering. Maybe parts of the sound track are stuck in the mid-90s. Despite that, the after-the-crash survivalism (a la Mad Max or Resident Evil), the evil corporate lords, and the over-the top goofiness all remain as fresh as Tank ...

Dangerous Beauty

Catherine McCormack, Rufus Sewell

Warner Home Video, 1998

Top 50 All time Favorites
Dangerous Beauty is in my top 50 of all time favorites. It has something for everyone - romance, humor, history - and is underscored by a lovely soundtrack. The characters are well cast. My daughter did a term paper on Veronica Franco and the role of courtesans and ...

21 Grams

Sean Penn, Naomi Watts

Universal Studios, 2004

Superbly acted, moving from beginning to end
The story line reveal itself by a series of multiple flashes that all add up to make a very compelling cinematic experience. Touching, moving human drama.

Mulholland Drive

Michael J. Anderson, Diane Baker

Universal Studios, 2002

One of my favorites, and one of Lynch's best!
It's hard for me to explain how much of an impact this film had on me. It is one of the most dreamlike experiences that I have ever had in a theatre. The first two hours of the film seem to follow a narrative -- and then there are the last 40 minutes, which will just ...

The Outsider

Tim Daly, Naomi Watts

Showtime Ent., 2003

Awsome
Great movie and I don't even like Westerns, oh and that Tim Daly WOW now that man has some abs wish I was Naomi Watts during that filming :-)

Funny Games (2008)

Naomi Watts, Tim Roth

Warner Independent Pictures (WIP), 2008

NOT FOR EVERYONE'S TASTES
Funny Games was a difficult film to review. On one hand there are numerous outstanding elements to this horror/psychological thriller. On the other hand, the Director tries to be a bit too cute and threatens to drag the entire film down the drain. Funny Games is a ...

Ned Kelly

Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom

Universal Studios, 2004

Ned Kelly
I very much enjoyed this movie starring Heath Ledger who just very recently passed away. It was great to see him in one of the few movies I had not seen before. I really enjoyed the action and enjoyed watching both him and Orlando Bloom. I think others would enjoy this ...

The Painted Veil

Naomi Watts, Edward Norton

Warner Home Video, 2007

Beyond the Veil
I just watched this movie. Thoughts around China in fact lead me to it, as the torch gets carried through the smog and security of today's Olympic waking of the sleeping giant. Almost any review here will give you the plot and description. Or you may know the book as I ...

I Heart Huckabees

Jason Schwartzman, Isabelle Huppert

20th Century Fox, 2005

definitely for a certain kind of viewer
I was just glowing after seeing this movie and I definitely dropped about 30 bucks to buy this as soon as it came out, and I guess you could say it was well worth the money because I watch it so often. Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg are so funny in this! I will admit that ...

The Ring Two (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Naomi Watts, Simon Baker

Dreamworks / Universal Studios, 2005

Better Than The First!!!
I enjoyed "The Ring" & whereas the sequels to such horror movies usually run out of juice with every subsequent sequel, I was very surprised to find that not only did "The Ring Two" keep up the momentum, but I actually found it better than it's predecessor. While "The ...

Stay

Ewan McGregor, Ryan Gosling

20th Century Fox, 2006

Misleading Reviews
I've been reading several reviews on this movie and i've come to the conclusion that perhaps a lot of people have misinterpreted some things about it. For one thing I think it would help watching the special features in the DVD extras. In a short documentary about ...

We Don't Live Here Anymore

Mark Ruffalo, Laura Dern

Warner Home Video, 2004

Tragic and heartbreaking; one of the purest and most effective looks into the lives of the married...
There is something so hauntingly real about `We Don't Live Here Anymore' that you end up walking away from this movie feeling dirty; like a sinner. I remember the first time I watched this I wept because I felt every ounce of pain and regret and fear and guilt that ...
