Kramer vs. Kramer Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep
Sony Pictures, 2001
A poignant tale of growth and parenthood that still brings tears today...
+ Another key cultural artifact + "Sometimes Mommy and Daddy Don't Get Along"
There are many films about the deterioration of the marriage arrangement, but very few of them can reach the levels of emotional attachment that `Kramer vs. Kramer' manages to grasp hold of. To say that `Kramer vs. Kramer' doesn't still resonate today is a miscalculation if you ask me, for even if ...

The Firm Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn
Paramount Home Video, 2000
Excellent, engrossing, substantial complexity --
+ It gets a little messy towards the end, but it's still nothing short of exciting... + THE FIRM
and one of Gene Hackman's greatest performances. The man is so real, and the character so believable, you'd think Hackman were the character. Except he isn't, because the character is a hackman, while Hackman is an extraordinary actor.
Probably Cruise's best performance, better than in "Color ...

Trial by Jury Joanne Whalley, Armand Assante
Warner Home Video, 2000
"Too Much Tampering Going On!"
+ Life is full of surprises + Another unjustly neglected picture-
Better than average performances by all the players. Kathleen Quinlin does a great job playing a part that is very far-afield from most of the parts I have seen her play. The gorefest in the park is a little unbelievable, but played well. Stuart Whitman was a sight for sore eyes as the father. ...

I am Sam (New Line Platinum Series) Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer
New Line Home Video, 2002
At least a whole box of tissues...
+ Dakota's auspicious debut
What a movie! The themes of love and loss, the underdog who wins in the end. The bullies who torment the sweet underdog are the stuff of legend.
This movie is full of archetypal images. But mostly it is about love!
All You Need Is Love!
Gonna keep this short and sweet because lots of ...
