Mountain

Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jude Law, Nicole Kidman

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004

common people overwhelmed by war
I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union ...

Jeremiah Johnson

Robert Redford, Will Geer

Warner Home Video, 1997

Great Western
This is another one of those great Westerns. It's simply a classic and a great movie. Redford is excellent and so is the story line, except for the sad ending. It's somewhat of an indictment of our society and the way we look down on those who aren't like us. It ...

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness

Ingrid Bergman, Curd Jürgens

20th Century Fox, 2003

Sunshine
The movie is interesting to me because of talking about christian background. That is the woman believes in God to help chinese children to live as well. She thinks that God wants her to do this. It is a great film.

Growing up and branching out
Season 3 finds John-Boy a freshman at Boatwright University, realizing his longtime dream of attending college and becoming a writer. Of course, it isn't easy -- unable to afford the cost of living there, he must commute the 28 miles each day. That's the least of ...

The Waltons - The Complete Sixth Season

Ronnie Claire Edwards, Nora Marlowe

Warner Home Video, 2008

Walton loving family
We are big fan's of the Walton's, and although I can't say this season was our favorite, it was still very good. We missed John-Boy and Grandma and wished Curt had been in more episodes, there were a few episodes that were a little darker and a times a little hokier, ...

Spencer's Mountain

Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara

Importance of family
This film shows the importance of family, the closeness they hold over generations and the recognition of one son's desire to go further in his education than any of his forbears have been able to because of economic necessity to begin work young. It shows his family's ...

The California Kid

Nick Nolte, Michelle Phillips

Witches aren't always bad
This IS a TYPICAL Disney movie. Good acting, good storyline. Eddie Albert was good, Kim Richards was enchanting, Ike Eisenberg was remarkable for a boy of his age. Everything was good clean fun, along the lines of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Scary doberman dogs, mean ...

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

Hugh Grant, Tara Fitzgerald

Miramax, 1999

A great story
I have actually also read the book, which tells you something aboutthe impact this movie had upon me. In it Monger points out one of the great ironies of the story- the man with the longest and most enigmatic nickname did not need one: The Englishman Who Went Up a ...

The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky (Fando y Lis / El Topo / The Holy Mountain)

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2007

From out of the depths
Rescued at long last from inaccessibility, "El Topo" lives up to its reputation as one of the great idiosyncratic "art films" of all time, filled with amazing -- even astonishing -- imagery and enhanced by the director's own haunting musical score. A tour de force for ...
