The Mighty

Walt Disney Video, 1999
Sense of Empowerment
this movie is such a wonderful story of two boys who help each other overcome their limits and find their strengths. I applaud this story as such a must see for all teenagers and adults.

Down Periscope
Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holly
Fox Home Entertainment, 2004
Really great comedy
Just terrific! I loved this movie when I first saw it on TV, just bought the DVD and it's even better, since you get to see the whole movie with nothing snipped to make room for commercials -- and of course the video quality is better than TV.
The disc is ...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Terry Gilliam, Benicio Del Toro
Universal Studios, 1998
"I just wanted to carve a little Z on your forehead"
This is for sure one of my top ten favourite films. I must have watched it 20-30 times since it came out, and I and some friends have a habit of watching it at vorspiel if we're going out on town. It is just so hilariously funny that I don't even know where to begin. ...

Two-Lane Blacktop - Criterion Collection
James Taylor, Warren Oates
Criterion Collection, 2007
Criterion Collection Release of Two-Lane Blacktop
This is not a review of the film itself - there are numerous sources of critiques and distillations of the plot (such as it is). Rather, this review is concerned with the presentation of the Criterion Collection dvd release.
The packaging is in a paper sleeve and ...

Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me
Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook
New Line Home Video, 2002
Never have seen Twin Peaks series. Good film, excellent music
I have never seen the Twin Peaks TV series, I did not know anything about Laura Palmer, so my review is not biased or comparative. I catched this film on TV, I knew it was David Lynch from minute one.
Here Lynch is totally unleashed, and yes, the story sometimes ...

Cool Hand Luke (Deluxe Edition)
Paul Newman, George Kennedy
Warner Home Video, 2008
The Spirit of the Anti-Hero
Paul Newman died yesterday, and I watched 'Cool Hand Luke' in his memory. Paul liked to think he was an ordinary guy. He played ordinary guys in his films, and he hung around ordinary people. The difference is that Paul Newman knew his own mind and no one could push ...

Kelly's Heroes
Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas
Warner Home Video, 2000
The Ultimate Guy Flick
Saw this movie when it first came out and bought it on VHS and then DVD so I've watched it quite a few times. Sure would be interesting to find out how it came to be made right in the middle of the Vietnam conflict - with no typical Hollywood political message that I ...

Pretty in Pink (Special Collector's Edition)
Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton
Paramount, 2006
Molly's best John Hughes film.
"Pretty in Pink" is one of my very favorite movies. John Hughes did a brilliant job with this film! He put Molly Ringwald with a brilliant cast that was amazing and he touched on the touchy subject of social class in High School very well.
(May Contain Spoilers)

Red Dawn (Collector's Edition)
Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell
MGM (Video & DVD), 2007
A Great Cult Movie
Red Dawn joins the ranks of good cult movies. However, what is particularly interesting was its reception when it first came out. When Red Dawn came out, American leftists went ballistic because the movie portrayed their precious Soviet Union and Communist Cuba in a ...

One Magic Christmas
Mary Steenburgen, Gary Basaraba
Walt Disney Video, 2004
One Magic Christmas
This has always been one of my favorite Christmas movies...a reminder of what is most important - the loved ones in our lives-- and how easy it is to get caught up in the miseries of the world - and forget the Magic.

Ridley Scott's finest hour!
This truly is Ridley Scott's finest hour.
Here he makes an absolute masterpiece in the movie industry. He does everything superbly with the suspense growing with every minute, fantastic storytelling and great special effects for it's time which still are hard to ...
