Laura Dern

Paul Newman, Dwight Schultz

Paramount, 1998

Highly recommended
I am a retired research physicist who spent 13 years in New Mexico. I highly recommend this movie for those with an interest in the history of physics or interesting people or whatever. This movie is not completely factual, but I love it anyway. As a historical drama, ...

October Sky (Spec Slip)

Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper

Universal Studios, 2000

A wonderful movie to share with family and friends.
Generally speaking my wife and I do not go to the movies. We both agree that the overwhelming majority of films being produced today are vulgar, poorly written, and that the special effects in most are greatly overdone. We generally prefer to stay at home and watch ...

Baby Dance

Stockard Channing, Laura Dern

Showtime Ent., 2000

The Baby Danced- I cried
Looking for more than a chick flick, or an action movie? This is what you are looking for. Admitidly, more for the females in the audiance but able to be enjoyed by both genders. This is an adult movie however, not for sexual inuindo, or for bad language, but more ...

Haunted Summer

Philip Anglim, Alice Krige

Media Home Video, 1994

The Original Hippies
Haunted Summer is an amazingly obscure film given that it was so well filmed and acted. All four of the leading roles are spot on with historical knowledge and these actors show a true brilliance which allows the viewer to fall right into the summer of 1816. I can't ...

Fallen Angels 1

Laura Dern, Alan Rickman

Polygram Video, 1994

Film noir in Technicolour
Fallen Angels 1 has three film noir -stories, each half an hour long, all created in the style of the 40's films. I got this because of Rickman (of course), but wasn't disappointed in any of the other stories either. The first story stars Peter Gallagher as a ...

A Season for Miracles - Hallmark Hall Of Fame

Carla Gugino, Kathy Baker

Hallmark, 2000

outstanding family movie
This is one (affirmative) family movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat on the first viewing. Will they be caught? Will the children be taken away from their aunt and given into the care of strangers? The fact that the man interested in the aunt is the ...

Jurassic Park

Sam Neill, Laura Dern

Universal Studios, 1994

The T. Rex Wants to Hunt!
Jurassic Park is one of the best Crichton film adaptations thus far. Though the screenplay is only marginally faithful to the plot of the novel, the basic premise, people being hunted by prehistoric beasts in a tropical paradise, remains intact. The animatronics and ...

Mask

Cher, Sam Elliott

Universal Studios, 1992

Mask
Mask is a wonderful movie. It really makes you think about things and gives you a real soft spot in your heart.

A Perfect World

Christopher Reagan Ammons, Leo Burmester

Warner Home Video, 1995

Costner's Best - A Must See
And that's saying something, considering how much I love Field of Dreams. This is a terrific movie that Kevin Costner absolutely shines in. Cast against type, he gives a mesmorizing performance as escaped con Butch Haynes. They only quibble I have is toward the ...

I Am Sam

Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer

New Line Home Video, 2003

A Challenging--If Not Controversial--Film That Is Wonderfully Charming Entertainment
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE "I am Sam" (New Line Platinum Series) DVD (2002) In looking at the other reviews for this film I was struck by two things: the amazing polarity of reviews; and the negativity of both those reading the reviews and many of those writing reviews. ...

Citizen Ruth

Laura Dern, Swoosie Kurtz

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Brilliant satire
"Citizen Ruth" is an absolute gem, a brilliant satire of the abortion debate - an easy task to screw up and a very difficult one to pull off. It pulls it off with laughs, heart, and one of the most perfect final scenes I've ever seen.

Century of Women Collection

Jane Fonda, Justine Bateman

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

A Century of Women, Sexuality
This is an amazing video and should be shown to any class learning about reproduction, and or womens rights. It is an essential part of American history.

Teachers

Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

a cause for respect learned a long time ago
It has been a long time since I have seen this. But I remember the effect it had on me. It made me respect my teachers even more. Folks seem to forget about teachers as heroes. This movie as others have written. is funny but still rings true today. A simpler time when ...

Dr T & The Women

Richard Gere, Helen Hunt

Live / Artisan, 2001

Another Entertaining Movie from Robert Altman
I've seen several of Robert Altman's movies (MASH, Popeye, Gosford Park, Nashville, A Prairie Home Companion, The Player) and have enjoyed them. Dr. T & The Women is no exception. I really enjoyed Richard Gere's character and empathized with him throughout. The ending ...
