Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly

Walt Disney Video, 1999

Skyrockets to the top of my list as one of the most exciting family films of all time...
I remember as a young boy absolutely loving this movie. At every sleepover this movie was mandatory. I probably saw `The Rocketeer' a record fifty times as a child and then, sadly, I grew up. In fact I haven't seen this movie in almost ten years. Well, I guess I ...

The Santa Clause 3 - The Escape Clause

Tim Allen, Elizabeth Mitchell

Walt Disney Video, 2007

Outstanding movie!
I own all 3 Santa Clause's, and I think there all great! All are funny and bring the Christmas spirit to your house. First one is the best, but I think the 2 sequels are great as well.

The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming

Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

A Classic that's as Funny in 2008 as in 1966
I bought a DVD of this classic for my mother. She'd never heard about it, and I couldn't imagine missing it! In fact, I became a forever fan of Alan Arkin because of it. It's just as clever and funny as it was when it first came out. The cars are different, the ...

Sesame Street - Learning About Letters

Carlo Alban, Alan Arkin

Sesame Street, 2004

Love this!
Both my 22 month old son and his mom love this! Very cute with the characters and clips from the Sesame Street I grew up with and enjoyed. The son is learning the letters and loves ""Cookie".

Edward Scissorhands (Widescreen Anniversary Edition)

Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

20th Century Fox, 2000

A masterpiece of so many levels...
I am a fan of Tim Burton, not a huge one, but a fan none-the-less. I have always admired his visual style and his visionary status; that is to say that I admire the way he is always true to himself. There is no director out there like Burton, and thus each and every ...

Sesame Street - Kids' Favorite Songs

Carlo Alban, Alan Arkin

Sesame Street, 2001

Kids favorite songs review
The family liked this enough that we bought it twice. Our first copy was a hit with our son when he was 1-2 years old then it was broken by a cousin. I bought it again for our daughter who is 2 and she also loves it.

Little Miss Sunshine

Abigail Breslin, Greg Kinnear

20th Century Fox, 2006

Little Miss Sunshine
This movie turned out to be a sleeper! It started out slow and I wandered if I hadn't made a mistake. As the movie continued I started laughing and didn't stop till the end. The ending also touched my heart for the underdogs of this world. You didn't know whether to ...

Glengarry Glen Ross

Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon

Lions Gate, 2002

predators in twilight
It's a David Mamet movie: ENOUGH SAID. Ok, I'll say a couple more things as if you didn't already know them. But if you don't know about this movie -- just see it is the point. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by the brilliant ...

Wait Until Dark

Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin

Warner Home Video, 2003

The Absolutely Best Thriller Of All Time, Bar None: Experience The Fear--Watch It In The Dark!
While there are many excellent reviews for "Wait Until Dark," now that I own the DVD, I feel compelled to reiterate for others my deep appreciation and "thrill" for this absolutely wonderful film. As a teenager I was never a fan of Audrey Hepburn--until I saw "Wait ...

Grosse Pointe Blank

John Cusack, Minnie Driver

Walt Disney Video, 1998

Grosse Point Blank
I loved this movie! The casting of Grosse Point Blank could not have been better. very funny. The subject, a hit man attending his high school reunion, and re-discovering his high school swetheart may sound un-workable but it does. If you have not seen this movie I ...

Sesame Street - What's the Name of That Song

Carlo Alban, Alan Arkin

Sesame Street, 2004

Love this video!
My 23 month old loves this video. She hums the title track all day long. She even like to cover which is a book with the lyrics for 6 of the songs featured on the video.

Sesame Street - Learning About Numbers

Carlo Alban, Alan Arkin

Sesame Street, 2004

The Best of all Sesame Street
This DVD is the best of all Sesame Street DVDs. I love it from start to finish. My toddler really took off with her number abilities after watching this. Count has always been my favorite character.

Gattaca (Special Edition)

Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman

Sony Pictures, 2008

The Historical Roots to this Film
To understand Gattaca, it helps to know a little history. About a century ago, progressives took up what the New York Times in 1912 called the "wonderful new science" of eugenics. Because of improvements in medicine and public health, eugenists said, the "unfit" ...
