Washington

Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning

Fox Home Entertainment, 2004

What an odd place to put a bomb!
A movie that taps into the alter-ego of a perpetually liked actor, maybe even one of the most favorite actors in Hollywood, is always a tempting and dangerous proposition. Whereas some may go in opposition of their nice-guy façade for a sappy, genre-bridging attempt ...

Hollywood Homicide (Dol Slip)

Harrison Ford, Josh Hartnett

Sony Pictures, 2004

I LOVE THIS MOVIE
This is my favorite movie - as a matter of fact, if I were a homocide detective instead of a software salesperson, this could, in fact be my story. Anyone who has ever gotten a real estate license and worked another job understands this far more than the casual ...

Imitation of Life (1934)

Claudette Colbert, Warren William

Universal Studios, 1998

Interesting and Enjoyable
I prefer this version to the more famous later version. "Aunt Delilah" didn't bother me. I think the character was realistic about how to live in those times. It's nice to watch this movie because it's preWW2 and there's an authentic Japanese male pancake customer ...

The Last Starfighter

Lance Guest, Dan O'Herlihy

MCA Universal Home Video, 1992

Still a fantastic movie
An older title, but the HD version does make the early-generation computer graphics a bit better. One of my favorite movies made better.

Good Will Hunting

Robin Williams, Matt Damon

Miramax, 1998

Another rackworthy movie
Math prodigy Will Hunting must work through his emotional wounds in exchange for working with a math professor. The therapeutic relationship between Damon and Williams is what won Affleck and Damon the oscar for best screenplay. Easily in my top 5.

Lucia di Lammermoor

Anna Moffo, Lajos Kozma (II)

Video Artists Int'l, 1999

Anna Moffo - an American-bred opera legend!
It is my opinion that Anna Moffo was the greatest American soprano. Unfortunately, she was under-rated and under-appreciated. Yes, there are many fine sopranos like Sutherland, Tebaldi, etc. However, Anna was the total package and what every little girl dreams that a ...

Mr Smith Goes to Washington (Spec)

Jean Arthur, James Stewart

Sony Pictures, 2000

Capra challenges America
Jefferson Smith is the quintessential naïve, honest hero that Stewart played in his early years. Smith fills an unexpired US Senate seat as the result of a coin toss. Ignorant of the games that Washington plays, he assumes that that his job is to represent the folks at ...

George Washington Slept Here

Jack Benny, Ann Sheridan

MGM (Video & DVD), 1992

Jewel of Jack Benny
I loved Jack Benny's performances. I won't go into all the antic of the film, the other review capped a few for you. This movie is charming and funny. It is a seldom seen film and wish this was on DVD. Please someone get this on DVD!

Glory

Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington

Sony Pictures, 1994

GLORY,ABOVE THE REST.
With no doubt the best Civil War picture ever made ,so far. The story of Robert Gould Shaw and his colored regiment,the 54th Massachusetts.Lincoln credited the black soldiers for turning the tide of the war for the Union victory.Glory is probably the most realistic of ...

Pinky

Jeanne Crain, Ethel Barrymore

20th Century Fox, 1998

Pinky-The Movie
A very nice copy of an old classic. My mother called my daughter "Pinky" for years. I finally got saw the movie and saw what she meant. What an interesting movie which shows just how far America has come in her thinking since this movie was made. This movie and ...

Remember the Titans

Denzel Washington, Will Patton

Walt Disney Video, 2001

Great Movie
This is a great movie. Even if you don't like sports, it is a good story. Delivery was fast. Completely satisfied.

Rose of Washington Square

Tyrone Power, Alice Faye

20th Century Fox, 1998

ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE !!!!!!
Its simple..its not on DVD!!!! This was last released 10 years ago isn't it about time the DVD version came out? The studios put so much time , energy and effort in making these musicals and we arent being allowed to view them in the best possible way!!! Get With it ...

Out of Sight (1998)

George Clooney, Jim Robinson

Universal Studios, 1999

Great Caper Flick
What great fun this movie is. If you like humor mixed in with your dramas you appreciate this. The chemistry between characters is wonderful.

Mighty Quinn

Denzel Washington, James Fox

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

A Colorful Mystery
This colorful mystery harkens back to those old 1930's films of old friends like Gable and Powell who suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the law. There is a fun flavor and lots of great music in Carl Schenkel's take on this genre from Hollywood's past. ...

Saint of Fort Washington

Danny Glover, Matt Dillon

Warner Home Video, 1995

Painful and Excruciating Reality
I won't deny that this is a difficult film to watch especially if, like me, you have lived in New York City for any length of time (I was born here). It's the story of a homeless man named Jerry (Danny Glover) who takes under his wing a schizophrenic but basically ...
