Christine Lahti

Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker

Miramax, 2008

Smart people aren't always
Dennis Quaid plays an English professor so pompous and self-contained that the unpleasant odor of mothballs must emanate off that tweed jacket he wears. Stuck. Stuck in a past when his wife died and he became a widower. Stuck in a career where he allows no growth for ...

Gross Anatomy

Matthew Modine, Daphne Zuniga

Walt Disney Video, 2002

The best med movie ever!
For my opinion the year of 1989 it has been one of the most exciting years in the history of cinema. Three movies from this particular year changed my life. First Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, second Dead Poets Society and third is Gross Anatomy. the last one i ...

Running on Empty

Christine Lahti, River Phoenix

Warner Home Video, 1999

Notes from the Underground....
This movie about 70's radicals living life underground and on-the-run with their two sons in tow, after their bombing of a napalm factory resulted in the paralysis and blinding of a janitor who wasn't supposed to be there, is actually a unique and beautifully told ...

Out of the Ashes

Christine Lahti, Beau Bridges

Showtime Ent., 2004

Mesmerizing
I have studied the Holocaust for many years and this is one of the best movies I've seen. Out of the Ashes is a true story of Dr. Gisella Perl, a gynecologist who was sent to Auschwitz and forced to work along side Dr. Josef Mengele, the most vicious of all the ...

Excellant movie
What can you say about Tommy Lee Jones and Rosanna Arquette. THey are always great.

...And Justice For All

Al Pacino, Jack Warden

Sony Pictures, 2001

Classic dramatic satire finally gets deluxe edition it deserves with plenty of extras...
Please note: This review is ONLY for the 2008 re-release. If you are reading this and it is under the 2001 release, this review is not for that edition and amazon.com has grouped it together. It's amazing watching Al Pacino chew the scenery. Norman Jewison's ...

Smart People

Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains

Diane Lane, Ray Winstone

Rhino Entertainment, 2008

untitled
I freaking love this movie. mostly in part because ray winstone is in it, and he's awesome. Not to mention the songs rock, with the occasional exception.

The Doctor

William Hurt, Christine Lahti

Walt Disney Video, 2004

The Doctor
Having had health problems and dealing with a plethora of Drs, nurses and health care "professionals" and ancillary staff, it is my personal opinion that many of them have never been ill and/or in need of hospitalization. This movie should be required viewing for ...

Swing Shift

Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell

Warner Home Video, 2004

Swing Shift
I love this movie it is fun loving and heart warming it is a great movie that brings back a time when every thing was simple even in war time. It makes you want to laugh and cry with the characters and it shows that women can take up the reins and be just as capable as ...

Pie in the Sky

Josh Charles, Anne Heche

Image Entertainment, 2003

Cute
Hey, sometimes it's great to see a simple movie. This one is no great genius, and it's pretty predictable, but it IS perfectly adorable. An entertaining 2 hours.

Women vs. Men

Elle Alexander (II), Glenne Headly

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Learn to Laugh at Yourself!
This movie made me smile, or rather I should say I broke out in laughter many times! If you see the humor of the situations of "Sex in the City" or laugh at "Malcomb in the Middle" this movie is for you! The short scene in the strip club was probably the only scene to ...

Just Between Friends

Mary Tyler Moore, Julie Payne

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

Sweet Movie!!
I loved this movie! I'm only 12, but I thought it was so sweet! Ms. Moore went from Laura Petrie/Mary Richards image, to Beth Jarret, then back to Laura. I thought it was so mean of the husband to cheat on such a sweet, loyal, and devoted lady. The only thing about ...

Hideaway

Godflesh cameo:
Once Earache merged with Sony (Columbia) Godflesh got the chance to do soundtracks. In 1995, they appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Hideaway. They also appear in the movie itself. During one of the club scenes, they are playing onstage in the background, ...

Knightriders

Ed Harris, Gary Lahti

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000

One for the B Movie Hall of Fame
Occasionally, I discover a B movie that is so off the wall, so cleverly quirky, and so perfectly original that it earns a place in my imagination and in the ranks of my favorite films. `Knightriders' is such a film. After the briefest of runs on the drive-in theater ...
