Holly Hunter

Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter

Universal Studios, 1992

GREAT!!!!!!!
I agree totally with Patricia A. Sanders. I thought I was emotionally dead but then I put this movie in the DVD player and off I was to feeling strong emotions again. This one has the magic for sure. It pulls all the strings in your heart and it thrills you to the ...

Broadcast News

William Hurt, Albert Brooks

20th Century Fox, 1996

intelligently written and wonderfully acted
This is a triumph of insight. The actors have meaty parts - all written in heartbreakingly real facets - and they bring the characters to life in a multitude of ways. This is not a "light" comedy - although it is funny. This is a real look at the business of ...

Raising Arizona

Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter

20th Century Fox, 1996

Coen Brothers
Coen Brother's film, what more needs to be said. These guys are remarkable at capturing a area's culture, dialect and humor.

The Incredibles

Maeve Andrews, Michael Bird (IV)

Buena Vista Home Video, 2005

We LOVE the Incredibles!
Who wouldn't LOVE this movie?!?!? It's for all ages, especially loved by my 3-4 year-old. He watches it over & over. Parents love it too! Great film!

Home for the Holidays

Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Great underrated film
This great story about a more "normal" family than most will ever admit starts funny and ends nicely (and you will need to pay attention to get it). In between we are taken on a roller coaster ride of insanity, dark humor, insight, observation and discomfort - as in ...

Roe Vs Wade

Holly Hunter, Randy Oglesby

Paramount, 1998

Pro-Choice-The Real Story
I never knew the details of how abortion came to be legal; the actual story of what her background, circumstances, and courage brought to light. This woman went through and was put through so much, just to make her life better. Little did she know what impact her ...

Crazy in Love

Holly Hunter, Gena Rowlands

Turner Home Ent, 1998

A delightfully moving and realistic film!
This film is a delight, perfectly crafted, well-acted, excellent screenplay, a marvelous study of human relationships with a moving portrayal of the women who've suffered and survived on a Washington island (transplanted from another location in the original book). As ...

The American Experience - Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided

David Morse, Holly Hunter

Pbs (Direct), 2001

Portrait of Abraham and Mary Lincoln
Having just read a book about Mary Todd Lincoln I was interested to learn more about both Lincolns and their lives together. This video presentation gives wonderful information about their lives before they met and what differing backgrounds they came from, including ...

Dr Seuss's My Many Colored Days (Notes Alive!)

Holly Hunter

Minnesoty Orchestra Visual Entertainment, 2001

My Many Colored Days... outstanding!!!
An absolute perfect marriage of music, text and animation. Richard Einhorn's musical setting of this wonderful Dr. Seuss story is pure genious! This musical story takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It's a must for any serious Seuss collector!

O Brother Where Art Thou

George Clooney, John Turturro

Buena Vista Pictures, 2001

One of the funniest movies of all time.
This Movie is great on so many levels. The writing is hillarious and casting is spot on. Clooney's character is great. The music is great. I just don't know how to praise it any more. I've watched the movie multiple times and still laugh out loud every time. Thats why ...

Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her

Elpidia Carrillo, Glenn Close

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

VERY good...
These slice-of-life ensemble-cast episodic movies are sometimes hit and miss, but this one was pretty solid all the way through. The unspoken common theme is, as the ironic title suggests, the hidden interior world of women, behind their deceptively "ordinary" ...

Copycat

Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter

Warner Home Video, 1999

Creepy good.
Copycat starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter is the best cat and mouse game of all-time. Released in 1995, I still find this film intriguing and nail-biting. The two stars are dynamite together, look out for a creepy Harry Connick Jr. who plays a copycat serial ...

Firm (1993)

Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn

Paramount, 1996

Excellent, engrossing, substantial complexity --
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 ...

Thirteen (2003)

Evan Rachel Wood, Nikki Reed

20th Century Fox, 2004

Oh to be young again?
I feel a need for a disclaimer here. This is a positive review, I thought Thirteen was a very good film. Okay disclaimer covered. Imagine two hours of sitting in a pit of eels after drinking eighteen cups of coffee. That's about as uncomfortable as the two hours I ...

Miss Firecracker

Holly Hunter, Mary Steenburgen

Hbo Home Video, 1994

A very funny comedy, with heart
This is one of those films that I view every now and then when I need a good laugh. Holly Hunter is superb as Carnelle Scott, the wannabe beauty queen. Although we laugh at the characters, Beth Henley's writing is never mean spirited to the characters. It is a ...
