Dianne Wiest

Jill Clayburgh, Michael Douglas

Sony Pictures, 2000

Now.....It's my turn!
Wow.....I just can't believe what I'm about to say. I loved this movie! For twenty plus years I avoided it like the plague. The slurpy song, the femminist angle, it all seemed like a rehash of a dozen other "B" movies. WRONG WRONG WRONG! For starters Jill Clayburgh has ...

Cookie

Peter Falk, Dianne Wiest

Warner Home Video, 1998

cute versin of the mafia
A great sunday afternoon fun story.

Parenthood

Steve Martin, Dianne Wiest

Universal Studios, 1992

nice
this movie was great because it dealt with 'the family', with life, as something messy. it felt more real to me than other movies dealing with the same material because it was almost dark for a family movie. don't get me wrong... it's not at all depressing or ...

The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn

Sidney Poitier, Dianne Wiest

Vidmark / Trimark, 2001

The Very Best
I just love this movie. It's clean, the whole family can watch, and that's becoming a rarity these days. You have this 90 year old man(Poitier) who is a carpenter. He enjoys what he does, he gives a helping hand to those who need it, and lives very simple. Then you get ...

The Lost Boys

Jason Patric, Corey Haim

Warner Home Video, 1992

Sleep all day! Party all night!
THE LOST BOYS is not a comedy yet has many comedy aspects. This film never took itself too seriously but it didn't make fun of itself either. The scary moments, when they come, convey the real horror of life and death without mocking it. The Lost Boys along with a few ...

Edward Scissorhands

Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

20th Century Fox, 2000

A masterpiece of so many levels...
I am a fan of Tim Burton, not a huge one, but a fan none-the-less. I have always admired his visual style and his visionary status; that is to say that I admire the way he is always true to himself. There is no director out there like Burton, and thus each and every ...

Birdcage

Robin Williams, Gene Hackman

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

The Birdcage
I love this movie! I remember seeing it in the movie theaters when it came out. The cast is hilarious and so is the plot.

Practical Magic (W/Documentary)

Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman

Warner Home Video, 1999

Excellent Movie
I love the movie and I liked all the actors. I watch the DVD often it is a fun movie.

Horse Whisperer

Kathy Baldwin Keenan, Kate Bosworth

Walt Disney Video, 1999

The Horse Whisperer
Any movie with Robert Redford in it is good. The scenery in this movie aside from the great acting is beautiful.

The 10th Kingdom

Kimberly Williams, Scott Cohen

Hallmark Home Entertainment, 2000

A must see
I have seen this movie (all 7+ hours) probably 8 times! The Tenth Kingdom is full of imagination and fun, and keeps you wanting more after its over. I can't wait to find out if there will be a sequel, the characters are so intriguing that I find myself dying to know ...

Little Man Tate

John Bell (IV), Harry Connick Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Good Story About A Gifted Child
Jodie Foster not only acts in this film, she directs as well. Harry Connick Jr. also stars in this movie, along with Adam Hann-Byrd who plays Fred Tate, the main character. Let us not forget who discovers Fred, Jane Grierson played by Dianne Wiest. His mother loves ...

Hannah & Her Sisters

Lewis Black, Michael Caine

Orion Home Video, 1994

A film that has everything it needs; a complete package to put it bluntly...
I have not seen a lot of Woody Allen movies; he's one of those directors that I really need to research and dive into. I've seen `Match Point' and loved it, and I've see `The Sweet and Lowdown' and thought it was decent, but his classics like `Annie Hall' and `Hannah ...

Falling in Love

Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep

Paramount, 1995

A true gem that deserves more recognition
Even after all these years, this remains one of my favorite love stories. It is a different kind of love story though..the two main protagonists played by Robert de Niro and Meryl Streep are married to other people, yet a chance encounter leads to another meeting, and ...

I Am Sam

Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer

New Line Home Video, 2003

A Challenging--If Not Controversial--Film That Is Wonderfully Charming Entertainment
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE "I am Sam" (New Line Platinum Series) DVD (2002) In looking at the other reviews for this film I was struck by two things: the amazing polarity of reviews; and the negativity of both those reading the reviews and many of those writing reviews. ...

Independence Day (1983)

Kathleen Quinlan, David Keith

Warner Home Video, 1998

Awesome Movie that Tackles Serious Heartaches
This movie was one of the most moving stories I had seen during the 1980s. The seriousness it addressed concerning spousal abuse, suicide, cancer, and true romance was unforgettable. It was the sleeper movie of the 80s. The performances in this movie by David Keith, ...
