This movie is beautifully done; the acting is outstanding. Jodhi May makes a perfect Anne Boleyn.

Love's Labour's Lost

Alfred Bell, Richard Clifford

Miramax, 2000

Branagh,Cole Porter,Irving Berlin and The Bard as if they,ve always been together!
Kenneth Branagh never ceases to amaze me or disappoint me when this great Shakesperean actor/director takes one of The Bard's plays and works his magic and whimsy and brings Shakespeare anew to the big screen.HENRY V,HAMLET,MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING and now LOVE"S ...

Laurel Canyon

Frances McDormand, Christian Bale

Sony Pictures, 2003

Ladies of the Canyon
Pleasantly surprising small movie, loosely based on Joni Mitchell, according to the director. Frances McDormand is great. The soundtrack is catchy, sort of Coldplay-ish, as is the band character, who even looks like Cold Play's lead singer. It's a chick flick, but it's ...

Solaris

George Clooney, Natascha McElhone

20th Century Fox, 2003

A Fascinating Take on Lem's Sci-fi Classic
S. Soderbergh's Solaris can barely be called an adaptation of S. Lem's novel, nor can it accurately be called a remake of the 1972 Russian film. However, when viewed without prejudice it is a fantastic film stylistically, as well as in terms of story and character ...

Ladies in Lavender

Judi Dench, Maggie Smith

Sony Pictures, 2005

soft-hued lavender...
This is for those who enjoy the works of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. Daniel Bruhl doesn't harm your eyes either. The story is joyously light but deep, the characters of Maggie Smith and Judi Dench are superbly played. It's like sibling rivalry, but not sibling ...

The Truman Show [Blu-ray]
Jim Carrey, Laura Linney

Paramount, 2008

He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir ( Witness , Dead Poets Society ) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary ...

Big Nothing

Jon Polito, Mimi Rogers

First Look Pictures, 2007

A whole bunch of dark fun
Just a joy for me to watch! I haven't ever been let down yet by Simon Pegg (the guy from Shawn of the Dead) and his wit plays off of Schwimmer's drollitivity(?) perfectly. The chick is dynamite and she mentally kicks the crap out of the two men who are smart enough to ...

Fear Dot Com

Stephen Dorff, Natascha McElhone

Warner Home Video, 2003

A mix between SAW and traditional ghost/monster horror
Fear Dot Com is an interesting mix of the human monster horror (Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and more `traditional' monster horror (Pulse, House on Haunted Hill). The plot is interesting, corpses appearing with red eyes that died of fear. A couple hard luck cops and a ...

The Devil's Own

Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt

Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE), 1998

City of Ghosts

Shawn Andrews, Jouni Johannes Anttones

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Great Movie!
Its a shame when I don't see a movie for quite a while just because it doesn't get the respect it deserves. This is a great crime drama. Its no soft drama either, it will keep other types of viewers interested as well. A story about a group of individuals connected ...

Mrs. Dalloway

Vanessa Redgrave, Natascha McElhone

First Look Pictures, 2004

Best "adaptation" seen in a while
Eileen Atkins screenplay based on the classic modernist novel by Virginia Woolf is about as close as a screenwritter can get to duplicate the tone and dialouge, including following the novel's plot from the start to its interesting conclusion. Vanessa Redgrave was ...
