GoodFellas
Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta
Warner Home Video, 1997
Goodfellas
+ Forget about it!!!
+ Falls in the line with the godfather movies.
When you have Joe Pesci and Robert Dinero in the same film, you got Hollywood magic. Love watching these two give and take between each other. Great great actors, both of them.

Eat Drink Man Woman
Sylvia Chang, Ah-Leh Gua
MGM World Films, 2002
The rare gourmet meal
+ Eat Drink Man Woman has humor, wisdom, and grace.
+ Classic, fabulous, and a must-see
I often chose to read what others thought of a movie before I write my own review, and I generally gravitate to the reviews that are contrary to my own because I want to know what perhaps I missed or willfully ignored the first time through.
