Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer

20th Century Fox, 2003

Come on, carpers! Let Shakespeare be fun!
First, the stars. No, not the astrologer's stars, the movie stars, goofy! Some of those high priced people can act! Of course, I'm in luck in that I see so few Hollywood movies that I don't recognize them, so it's easy to suspend disbelief. The one I did recognize was ...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford [Blu-ray]

Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck

Warner Home Video, 2008

Stunning Photography & Great Acting
This is an unusual movie, especially for a modern-day-filmed western. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck are the "stars" of this movie but the biggest star to me was Roger Deakins, the man who photographed this film. Wow, this is beautiful! It's so stunning to look at in ...

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Drew Barrymore, Isabelle Blais

Miramax Films, 2003

Underappreciated movie
Everyone knows Charlie Kaufman for "Being John Malkovich." While that movie was great, this movie is right up there with it. The cast is wonderful, and the plot is so intriguing. It makes you almost believe something that is completely unbelievable, and for that, it is ...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Tom Aldredge, Michael Copeman

Warner Home Video, 2008

Charlie's Angels (Special Edition)

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore

Sony Pictures, 2001

It's nice movie!!!
This movie is nice. It's fun and interesting. those 3 characters are best fit on this movie. I was laughing a lot. I like this movie. This movie is not boring. This movie was starting good.

The Green Mile (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Tom Hanks, David Morse

Warner Home Video, 2006

Super
This is a classic movie and I just had to get it on DVD, I already have it video and they wear out. A must own movie!!!

The Green Mile (Single Disc Edition)

Patricia Clarkson, James Cromwell

Warner Home Video, 2007

Just an Outstanding Film!
What a great movie! I'm not a huge Tom Hanks fan but have enjoyed some of his films. This one, though, may end up as being my favorite of his. Filled with great scenes of both hope and tragedy, of sorrow and of joy, with just a touch of redemption thrown in. Based ...

Galaxy Quest

Patrick Breen, Jeffrey Howard

Dreamworks Video, 2000

A Perfect(ly) Dysfunctional Star Trek
I know - you've already seen a dozen other reviews that say Galaxy Quest is a wonderful send-up of the original Star Trek TV Series. As someone who is a HUGE Star Trek fan, I can assure you, it is, and very well done. What really makes this movie work is not that ...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas

New Line Home Video, 1998

TMNT: Reality with talking turtles, who knew?
TMNT really delivers on all fronts, good story, great acting, great directing and amazing action from guys in animatronic rubber suits. This movie is a perfect blend of the dark atmosphere of the original comics and the zany fun of the cartoon series, all the while ...

Snow Angels

Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell

Warner Home Video, 2008

Interconnected lives hurtling down multiple dead ends...
This is a well-done movie with an excellent cast. Set in a small town in the winter, the plot involves multiple tortured souls. Do not see it if you are in a down mood or need a refill on your anti-depressants. I would be hard-pressed to call it "entertainment" ...

Lawn Dogs

Mischa Barton, Sam Rockwell

Lions Gate, 1998

Bold, Tragic, and thought-provoking... Oh Nooooooooo!
It's tragic how some of Hollywood's greatest films are doomed from the start, by efforts to conceal the serious subject matter with confusing or misleading box covers, or by presenting subject matter that requires brain matter activity. I agree with all reviews of the ...

Matchstick Men (Widescreen Edition)

Bruce Altman, Nicolas Cage

Warner Home Video, 2004

Stunning drama and twist ending thriller. Underated film.
Well, I rented the movie to see how Nicholas cage potrays con man as he looks innocent and sincere guy in his appearance.After seeing the film, I was just thrilled and surprised this didn't touch oscars. Nicholas plays a con guy who misleads people by tactful stealing, ...

Safe Men

Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn

Universal Studios, 2006

Sweet Stache!
This is a great underrated comedy cult classic gem from Director John Hamburg (who also wrote and directed Along Came Polly, and wrote "Meet The Parents", "Zoolander" & "Meet The Fockers") This film has amazing acting and comedy and the writing is superb. A great flick ...

Matchstick Men (Full Screen Edition)

Joshua (2007)

Sam Rockwell, Vera Farmiga

20th Century Fox, 2008

Creepy, but not scary
I definitely wouldn't call this movie "suspenseful". And the ending didn't "keep me guessing". The basic gist of the movie is a tried-and-true mantra: little kids can be extremely creepy. Just like other movies with this schematic (Children of the Corn, 6th Sense), ...
