Barbara Walsh, Angel Desai

IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT, 2008

A definitive production of a Broadway classic...
The Blu-ray rendition of Stephen Sondheim's, COMPANY is a jewel of a production. Not only are the video and audio worthy of blu-ray and true high def - but the performances, concept and photography are first class. This is a musical that never had a wide audience due ...

The Straight Story

Sissy Spacek, Jane Galloway Heitz

Walt Disney Video, 2000

My Favorite Film
In 1999, one of the most unusual pairings in Hollywood history formed to make a film telling the story of Alvin Straight's odyssey: David Lynch and Walt Disney Pictures. Lynch, arguably one of film's more daring storytellers, the mind behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and ...

Back Roads

Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones

Paramount, 2005

Tommy Lee Jones
As always is PHENOMENAL. Although, I might be biased. I'm probably one of TLJ's biggest admirers. My bucket list includes simply meeting this genious. In this movie, TLJ plays kind of a dope, but you love him right away. His character has the mentality of a ...

Narrow Margin

Gene Hackman, Anne Archer

Lions Gate, 1998

DVD movie : Narrow Margin
Review of "Narrow Margin". Who could'nt love the trains and the Canadian scenery? But further I am a Hackman fan so for me it is easily worth buying to watch and loan to family etc. The R must be for violence but it not excessive compared to any ordinary day ...

Tin Men

Richard Dreyfuss, Danny DeVito

Walt Disney Video, 2002

A guys movie. The opposite of a 'chick flick'.
One of my favorite films ever. Following on from `Diner', its quirky humor lies in the everyday banter of the characters, for which the actors seem to have been given freedom to ad lib. Charm and authenticity are added by Levinson's attention to detail, in what is a ...

Hannah and Her Sisters

Lewis Black, Michael Caine

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A film that has everything it needs; a complete package to put it bluntly...
I have not seen a lot of Woody Allen movies; he's one of those directors that I really need to research and dive into. I've seen `Match Point' and loved it, and I've see `The Sweet and Lowdown' and thought it was decent, but his classics like `Annie Hall' and `Hannah ...

An Early Frost

Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara

Wolfe Video, 2006

Issues, Issues, Issues
This groundbreaking 1985 movie directed by John Erman won 4 Emmys (it was nominated for 14) and a Golden Globe for its very accurate, informative and powerful portrayal of what it meant to receive an AIDS diagnosis back in the early 80s. Though others followed shortly ...

That Was Then... This Is Now

Emilio Estevez, Craig Sheffer

Paramount, 2003

Emilio Estevez
Emilio Estevez is one of my favorite actors and he did a great job in that was then this is now!

Johnny Belinda

Jane Wyman, Lew Ayres

Warner Home Video, 2006

Remarkable performance from Wyman
Jane Wyman rightly became a movie superstar with her Academy Award-winning performance in this film. Belinda is a deaf mute young woman who is thought of as "the dummy" by her family and the local townspeople in the Canadian fishing village in which she was born and ...

Loverboy

Patrick Dempsey, Kate Jackson

Sony Pictures, 2004

Awesome 80's Movie
I hold this movie right up there with Can't Buy Me Love. It is interesting, can hold your attention AND it has Patrick Dempsey in it! I love all his movies- they are the best! :)

California Split

George Segal, Elliott Gould

Sony Pictures, 2004

Great early Altman film . . .
Segal and Gould are a decidedly odd pairing in this 1970s movie about gamblers and gambling set in Los Angeles and Reno. Mostly amiable and larky with brief outbursts of violence (a fist fight, an armed robbery), the film takes a sobering turn when we realize that one ...

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Charlotte Coleman, Margery Withers

oranges are not the only fruit
I first saw this movie years ago in the early 90s when I happened to be up late one night channel-surfing. PBS aired the film from 12-3am, undoubtedly due to its homosexual content. Little did I know I was about to view one of the best gay-themed films I have seen to ...

Defenseless

Barbara Hershey, Sam Shepard

Platinum Disc, 2002

She protected others but could not protect herself
The title of this thriller is both a pun on Barbara Hershey playing a lawyer and the fact that she is being stalked, though the stalking is dropped halfway. Hershey is perceived as a flake, partly because she dresses "unprofessionally", wears wavy hair, and tends to ...
