Claire Danes

Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush

Sony Pictures, 1998

A Moving Masterpiece
I never cease to be touched by this film; it's one of the few movies I can call "powerful" without being overdramatic. The story centers on Jean Valjean, a convict -- how his life was transformed by the action of a selfless clergyman, and how his own life transforms ...

Home for the Holidays

Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

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 ...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray]

David Andrews, Earl Boen

Warner Home Video, 2008

ARNOLDNATOR IS BACK!.
TERMINATOR 3 BLU RAY WAS OK, UNLIKE 1 AND 2 WHICH ON BLU RAY WERE AWSOME. ARNOLD WAS LOOKING ABIT OLD IN THIS MOVIE, WHICH MADE IT HARD TO WATCH, BUT HE DID MANAGE TO STILL PULL IF OFF. IF YOU HAVE A DVD BLU RAY PLAYER, RENT THIS MOVIE FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY, YOUR ...

My So-Called Life - The Complete Series (w/ Book)

Claire Danes, Winnie Holzman

Shout! Factory, 2007

In Contrast to Today
I was one of those who actually got to see the show, one episode, when it was on ABC. I'm not even sure which episode it was, but I caught the tail end of it, and then it was gone. When I showed up on MTV I had just gotten cable, but I saw it disjointed because I ...

The Family Stone (Widescreen Edition)

Claire Danes, Diane Keaton

20th Century Fox, 2006

Builds up to being a touching movie about family
Ten minutes into the movie "the Family Stone" I was regretting my choice of the movie. Predictable to the extreme it seemed to have echoes in myriad family movies of recent years : Dan in Real life, The Wedding date and what have you. The family itself was not terribly ...

Princess Mononoke

Hisaya Morishige, Jada Pinkett Smith

Miramax, 2000

Princess Mononoke
Everyone should be able to view Hayao Miyazaki animation. This film is no exception. You must see these films more than once. Put the setup in Japanese and English subtitles to get a better effect. Watch the films once for the story and then for the background ...

Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl

Warner Home Video, 2004

Not Bad
This 2-disc DVD set is good. The motion picture is sharp and has surround sound. There's action, alot of special effects, and a little humor. The special features tell the details of how the movie was made which has some humor in it and is very interesting. ...

Little Women (Collector's Edition)

Winona Ryder, Gabriel Byrne

Sony Pictures, 2000

Very Accurate Version
It's not the A&E Pride and Prejudice version when it comes to accuracy, but the care the screenwriters went to in order to make this true to the book (yet interesting to a film audience in ways that a straight book-film version would not have allowed) is what makes ...

John Grisham's The Rainmaker (Special Collector's Edition)

Matt Damon, Danny DeVito

Paramount, 2007

SOUTHERN FRIED JUSTICE
Terrific film featuring Bahstin favorite Damon fluently adapting southern dialect as a novice lawyer, genuinely interested in helping underdog clientele. DeVito is equally effective as a setup man who can't pass the Bar exam, but is a terrific funnel for future ...

Stardust (Widescreen Edition)

Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro

Paramount, 2007

A Gem, a breathtaking gem!
Movie making just reached a new, ground breaking level of excellence: the only thing better would be a Director's Cut. I could mine a dictionary for superlatives... but what's the use? See for yourself.

The Hours

Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore

Paramount, 2003

A beautiful and unforgettable film
This movie unforgettable and each time I watch it I find something new that make me look at life and relationships and death. The cast is first-rate, from Steep, Moore and Kidman to the smallest of roles. The acting, the writing, the editing and the music are all ...

Shopgirl

Steve Martin, Claire Danes

Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone, 2006

Romances contemporáneos
Comencé a ver un poco ya comenzada la pelicula, pero de inmediato me encanto la actuación de Claire Danes y, posteriormente las relaciones que se comienzan a dar entre los tres protagonistas. No me gustó el final que se da, pues queda demostrado que el amor igual ...

Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines [HD DVD]

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl

Brokedown Palace

Claire Danes, Kate Beckinsale

20th Century Fox, 2000

IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS.....
IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS FOR A LIVING, THIS SHOULD CAUSE YOU TO REEXAMINE THAT DECISION. WELL ACTED AND PRESENTED. SORT OF A FEMALE VERSION OF 'MIDNIGHT RUN'.

William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (Special Edition)

Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes

20th Century Fox, 2002

Shakespeare Rocks
Love this version of Romeo & Juliet. I call it "in your face Shakespeare." It is a good introduction to Shakespeare for teenagers. It shows them that the themes of older literature are still relevant today in their world.
