Benny Goodman Story
Steve Allen, Donna Reed
Universal Studios, 1992
Great Times, Great Music and Great Value
I am no critic, BUT thought that the story line was OK (no hard times shown- other than death of Benny's father) MUSIC - FANTASTIC - Having some of the GREATS involved - OUT STANDING! Those who enjoy the music of the BIG BANDS should enjoy it. "DON'T BE THAT WAY!"

The Haunting

Masada
Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss
Universal Studios, 1995
Powerful Historical Drama - Recommended!
Much more than a costume drama, very powerful movie! I was a teenager when Masada aired as a mini-series back in the early 1980s and bought the movie to show my teenage children who are now studying Roman history.
While some of the historical "facts" may be in ...

Matilda (1996) (Clam)
Kiami Davael, Embeth Davidtz
Sony Pictures, 2002
Family perfect
I have long been impressed with this movie and I do believe that Roald Dahl would be proud of how it turned out. Danny DeVito was brilliant with the story that was properly modernized while still remaining true to the novel. The movie plays like the modern fairy tale ...

Shirley Valentine
Pauline Collins, Tom Conti
Paramount, 1996
favorite girlfriend movie
This is just a grand escape and my husband and I actually went to this very hotel just because of the movie. In fact we went twice and would go again. The movie is just a "grand upper" for women. Pauline Collins
is spectacular.

The Legend of Billie Jean
Helen Slater, Keith Gordon
Fair is calling this movie great!
I just watched this movie again for the 100th time and continue to think its one of the best movies of the 80's. It really captures the feeling of life in the 80's and what it feels like to be a smart teenager who gets treated unfairly. The soundtrack is also awesome- ...

Under the Tuscan Sun
Diane Lane, Sandra Oh
Walt Disney Video, 2004
Outstanding Movie
This is one of Diane Lanes best performances I have had the privilege of watching. It covers a spectrum of emotions. The story line takes you thru many ups and downs. The scenery is also excellent. Worth the price !

For a Lost Soldier
Maarten Smit, Jeroen Krabbé
Fox Lorber, 1997
Very Touching Movie
This movie was very beautiful and touching. Looking at it through "American" eyes might make some a bit uncomfotable, but if you look at it on a deeper level, you see that it's not about predatory behavior, but about connectedness and identity.
