How to Make an American Quilt

Winona Ryder, Anne Bancroft

Universal Studios, 1998

share it with your girlfriends
This is a lovely movie about women from different generations and their stories. My favorite part is that they come together to make a wedding quilt and that is how we learn most of their life stories.

Wonderful movie

The Brave Little Toaster To the Rescue

Thurl Ravenscroft, Timothy Stack

Walt Disney Video, 1999

A very worthy part 2 of the trilogy.
This movie is good on several counts. First, it may be the third installment in the Brave Little Toaster trilogy, but it's obviously intended to be inserted between the original and "Mars," to tie together the Master's departure for college and his marriage to ...

The Singing Detective

Robert Downey Jr., Robin Wright Penn

Paramount, 2004

Seen on its own merits . . .
Few if any reviewers here indicate having watched Keith Gordon's director's commentary on this DVD. I think it would alter some of their judgements. As Gordon explains, the film script was in fact written by Dennis Potter, whose original "Singing Detective" ran as a ...

Member of the Wedding

Anna Paquin, Alfre Woodard

Hallmark Home Entertainment, 1997

Wonderful and touching performance by Anna Paquin
The Carson McCullers' novel whom this movie is based on is very simple on its surface, but deeply it contains a stunning sadness and melancholy that the intelligent writer expresses perfectly. It has characters whose lifes are normal without nothing special happening ...

Frederick Douglass: When The Lion Wrote History

Alfre Woodard

Radio (Dol Slip)

Cuba Gooding Jr., Ed Harris

Sony Pictures, 2004

Radio was faking it
First, let me say that I loved the movie. It's incredibly touching in many ways, and there are several reviews on Amazon that detail the movie. On the other hand, I think Radio was probably faking it. Who wouldn't like to be the Big Man on Campus for the rest of ...
