Judy Davis

Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson

Lions Gate, 2004

If Vermeer Was Brit
This beautifully made film is worth seeing for the heavily meditated transmission of 17th century Dutch art to the screen, a stunning achievement. Delft is wonderfully recreated based on the works of Vermeer and many other painters. The basic story line about a ...

Just Tell Me What You Want

Alan King, Myrna Loy

Warner Home Video, 1995

Just Give Me What I Want
An admitted fan of obscure titles, this film is one that sits proudly on my shelf and just about everyone asks "What's this about?" It's about life. The plot revolves around a selfish and wealthy man with a wife, and a secretary and a mistress who alternately wants and ...

A Woman Called Golda

Ingrid Bergman, Ned Beatty

Paramount, 1998

Excellent Movie, Non-biased
A quality drama of a unique portion of 20th century history. Fairly accurate in historical detail in describing the struggles of the reborn state of Israel. Despite all contrary odds and the concerted effort of four arab nations to annihilate the state of Israel, this ...

That's Dancing

Mikhail Baryshnikov, Ray Bolger

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

With many full-length performances! Very entertaining!
How enjoyable 1985 That's Dancing is! And the special treat is that you get to see the complete dance performances. You will see the beginning era of dance and several entertainers who comment, Gene Kelly, Baryshnikov, Ray Bolger, Liza Minelli and Sammy Davis Jr. ...

Husbands & Wives

Lysette Anthony, Ilene Blackman

Sony Pictures, 1994

Woody Allen's Scenes from a Marriage.
Complicated relationships (Annie Hall) and the romantic folly of May-December relationships (Manhattan) are familiar themes in Woody Allen's movies. His films confront the subject relationships with a depth not typically found in Hollywood releases. Allen's 1992 ...

One Against the Wind

Judy Davis, Sam Neill

Hallmark, 1999

Please put this film on DVD!
I have owned two copies of "One Against the Wind"--because I wore out the first one! You can get the story from other reviews. I show this movie to college freshman in a writing class where we talk about being your highest and best self and making moral choices (among ...

New Age

Peter Weller, Judy Davis

Warner Home Video, 1997

A brisk stroll through Yuppie hell
Michael Tolkin's "The New Age" was the most scathing movie indictment of the American dream gone Sonoma catalog since Albert Brooks' brilliant satire "Lost In America". "The New Age" re-teams the "Tracy & Hepburn" of indie film, Peter Weller and Judy Davis, who were ...

Echo of Thunder

Judy Davis, Jamey Sheridan

Hallmark, 1999

excellent!
My friend from overseas sent me a copy of the movie "The Echo of Thunder". When I first watched it I couldn't leave my seat. It is not an all-action film, but it's so heart warming and powerful it makes you want more. I was particuarly impressed but the actors in the ...

Passage to India

Judy Davis, Victor Banerjee

Sony Pictures, 1992

A Riveting Movie!
A friend suggested this movie to me. I waited with bated breath as the movie began. What a wonderful movie. The scenery was gorgeous. The director did a great job of showing how the British and the people of India were divided not only by their culture, but by their ...

Cooler Climate

Judy Davis, Sally Field

Paramount, 2000

Different, but deeper.
I give this five stars, not for it being an incredible film, but for it being a film which entails so much more than most films made today. I keep hearing people mention that it's the kind of movie made for older women. My response is...whatever. As a twenty yr old ...

Life with Judy Garland - Me and My Shadows

Judy Davis, Victor Garber

Walt Disney Video, 2002

AMAZING job by Tammy Blanchard
For picky hardcore Garland fans who are looking for a movie that strictly sticks to the facts, presents them in the exact order that they happened, and doesn't deviate from the truth one iota, well...you'll have a field day pointing out the errors in "Me and My ...

Deconstructing Harry

Caroline Aaron, Kirstie Alley

New Line Home Video, 1998

Exhilarating Depression
Woody Allen, for some, is an acquired taste. Many remember him for "Annie Hall," while others appreciate his darker side in "Crimes and Misdemeanors." I lean toward the latter, and therefore find this film among his very best. Brilliantly conceived, the jump cuts that ...

Swimming Upstream

Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis

Mgm Entertainment, 2005

Great movie!
Wonderful story, fantastic acting. The amazing true story of a young man who yearned all his life for the acceptance of his alcoholic father. He becomes one of the greatest swimmers in Australian history. The human spirit is amazing.

Barton Fink

John Turturro, John Goodman

20th Century Fox, 1993

Tweaked 'til it screams...
The genius of The Brothers Coen lies in their ability to examine American Culture and tweak it until it screams in transcendent agony, this fine film is no exception. John Turturro, John Goodman, Judy Davis, Steve Buscemi... Imagine their faces, throw in surreal ...

John and the Missus

Jackie Burroughs, Austin Davis

Newstar Entertainmen, 1988

A Touching Movie!!
This is a very touching movie about a small town being economically devastated when a mine shuts down. With beautiful scenery and great acting,it's a must see!!
