Steel Magnolias & Sleepless in Seattle Double Review
I am in the process of getting rid of my VHS tapes and buying new DVDs of my favorite movies, and both of these movies were on my list, so I figured why not get two for the price of one? Both of these movies are classics in their own way: a sappy and funny love story ...

While You Were Sleeping
Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman
Hollywood Home Video, 1998
One of the great fluffy chick flicks
Yes, I am one of "those girls". I can watch this over and over and still swoon over the sheer cuteness of a heartfelt comedy that happily takes the ridiculous in stride. This is Sandra Bullock at the top of romance game playing an orphaned subway employee whose crush ...

Trauma
Christopher Rydell, Asia Argento
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2005
Bellissimo.
My four star rating is only in comparison to Argentos previous work, this still destroy's mostly anything else that does'nt have Agento's name on it. Trauma walks a fine line between 'classic' Argento and a failure to live up to his previous standards. If you compare ...

FRENCH KISS (DVD MOVIE)
TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX HOME ENT, 2003
Juicy Kiss Steals My Heart
Meg Ryan's goofy antics in "French Kiss" are as delightful to me with the umpteenth viewing as they were when I first saw the movie over ten years ago. The time in which I saw the movie was a tumultuous one and Kate spoke to me as a character. She finds love where ...
