Elizabeth Taylor

Josh Hartnett, Melissa George

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, 2008

Why so bad?
I don't understand why this movie recieved poor reviews. The concept is excelent, the acting was pretty flawless, the FX were simple yet effective, and the vampires were the most ruthlessly frightening that I've seen in a very long time. The only reason I can think of ...

Mansfield Park (1999)

Hannah Taylor-Gordon, Talya Gordon

Miramax, 2000

it passes muster
For those of you who absolutely loved Mansfield Park, the book, and are hopeless Jane Austen purists this movie will probably disappoint you. If on the other hand, you are like me and are a devoted fan of Jane Austen and a purist about everything else Jane Austen, yet ...

Napoleon Dynamite

Jon Heder, Jon Gries

20th Century Fox, 2004

Blow Nessie Out of the Water...
Okay, I think it's obvious from the reviews of this film that people have very different ideas about humor. I think the people who do not "get" this film, just do not understand subtle humor. They are more used to mainstream comedy. As for me--I enjoyed every single ...

Better Off Dead

Yano Anaya, Curtis Armstrong

Paramount, 2002

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen!
I bought this movie because I remembered watching it when I was younger, and thought my son might like to see it. He, and I have watched it about 7 or 8 times since we received it. He loves it as much as I did when I was his age. John Cusack is so funny! It really is a ...

The real story and the main selling point is betrayal. Nothing is more familiar than having a friend suddenly turn on you for no apparent reason. The characters herein are like that. They turn on each other,lie, cheat and even kill. This leads to the witchcraft. The ...

The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection - His Favorite Moments from The Tonight Show (Vols. 1-3) (1962-1992) (1962)
I bought these as a gift for my grandmother. These are a piece of American Culture, it documents so much of what was happening in life those years. After the news, this was on. No cable TV to watch. I always remember my grandparents cracking up watching this show. ...

Cleopatra

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2006

Campy Cleopatra
"Cleopatra" was the overhyped spectacle of the early '60s that nearly brought 20th Century FOX to its knees. There was the offscreen love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton (both married to other people) that overshadowed the movie. It's got cheesy ...

Jacob's Ladder

Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña

Lions Gate, 1998

First Rate Thriller
From start to finish, Jacob's Ladder is a brilliant thriller. I love movies with reference to the Vietnam War. This one has it. When the movie starts, you're just certain the movie is going one way and ends up going another. This is one of first movies in the ...

Soldier

Kurt Russell, Jason Isaacs

Warner Home Video, 1999

Soldier
Few actors could accomplish what Kurt Russell does with this character. He manages to convey so much without uttering more than a dozen lines. Some are one word lines at that. He turns a cold-blooded killer into a flawed and likeable hero. This movie show cases ...
