Warner Home Video, 2007

A Veteran's Day tribute to a great WWII actioner
It seems relevant and important to say something about my favorite World War II film -- "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" -- on Veteran's Day. While I did not serve in the military, my dad fought in WW2 in the Pacific at Tarawa, one of the Marines' most heralded battles in ...

The Old Man and the Sea

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

5 Stars for the final 2 minutes...
I enjoyed this movie as a kid, but watched it recently and found it to be bloated and dated and not all that funny. However, the final two minutes are one of the most profoundly spiritual moments in the history of cinema. The lesson learned by Spencer Tracy's ...

Thematic still applicable today; great movie
"Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" is nothing short of fantastic. It is funny, smart, brilliant, thoughtful, and altogether great. The performances by Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katherine Hepburn were phenomenal. I especially liked the performances by Hepburn and ...

A Film for All Seasons

Inherit the Wind

United Artists, 2001

A Black and White Movie For a Technicolor World
This is the second in my "series" of films for which I am truly thankful, the problem with that being that it is the first one that most of you will be reading. Such is life. In my first review, which was actually more of a thumbnail appreciation of the original ...

Desk Set

Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn

20th Century Fox, 2004

A great romantic comedy with poor commentary track
When I list my favorite film for each year, this is always on my list for 1957. I know I'm supposed to say "Twelve Angry Men" or "Bridge over the River Kwai", but I just find this film to be better. Hepburn and Tracy star in a very odd romantic comedy in which the ...

Outrageously Funny!
This is another great screwball comedy (1936) set during the great depression, casting some of the best performers of that time. Having nominated by the Academy in the best picture category, the movie is riveting and you will be glued from beginning to end due to the ...
