Silver City and Other Screenplays (Nation Books)

Nation Books, 2004

THREE GREAT SCREENPLAYS BY JOHN SAYLES!

This book includes the screenplay to John Sayles latest film, "SILVER CITY" and two others, "SUNSHINE STATE" and "PASSION FISH", but NOT "MATEWAN", "LONE STAR", or any of the others listed on this page. The title page says this is volume one so obviously the other plays will be in future volumes. ...

Baby It's You
Rosanna Arquette, Vincent Spano

Legend Films, 2008

Great Movie

Two words-Vincent Spano. I bought this movie so I could look at him again. Movies about teens and college kids today are usually silly, juvenile and sex oriented stupidity that most adults won't watch. This one is a little deeper...and cleaner.
  
  











  



  
Clan of the Cave Bear
Daryl Hannah, Pamela Reed

Warner Home Video, 1999

pleasantly suprised

+ What did you expect...a four hour epic?!?
+ Makes you were born in the centery you were!

My dad asked me to order this movie for him. I had never heard of it, but I watched it when I received it in the mail. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed the movie. The characters consist of neanderthals and cro-magnons (prehistoric people) so you might think they run ...
  
  











  



  
Sunshine State
Alex Lewis, Alan King

Florida born and raised

+ Great Movie
+ and they wondered why those hanging chads and butterfly ballots were so problematic

We loved this movie, and have bought many copies to give to FL friends and relatives. Scenes of FL as it used to be, as well as scenes from FL as it is now. Great fun!

Return of the Secaucus 7
Mark Arnott, Cora Bennett

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

My First Indie Film

'Return of the Secaucus 7" was my first. Independent film, that is. It is not an independent film the way you'd consider indie films of today. VERY low budget - and it shows, though that's not a bad thing. Overall, this film has held up well - which is pretty good 23 yrs later! Sayles did a ...
