Birds of America
Matthew Perry, Hilary Swank
FIRST LOOK PICTURES, 2008
About 1000 times better than the dvd case
I've seen this film a few times in the last week. Writer/Director Craig Lucas knows his stuff. The direction of this film is spot on. Craig Lucas also knows his Americans, as do Matthew Perry, Ben Foster(Six Feet Under) and Ginnifer Goodwin(Big Love). The whole cast ...

Boys Don't Cry
Hilary Swank, Chloë Sevigny
Fox Searchlight Pictures, 2000
Powerful
I find it hard to believe that anyone could watch this movie and not be moved by this powerful story. The heartbreaking part of it being that it's based off true events. Brandon was clearly suffering from some identity issues and she had run into some close calls ...

The Gift
Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi
Paramount, 2001
Honest Film About A Southern Taboo
This movie was made in Savannah, Ga. If you saw Midnight In The Garden, you are already aware of the 'other' presence there of magic, obeah and other supernatural events. Ribisi is just incredible in this film. I really like this guy enormously. He gives 1000 ...

P.S. I Love You
Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler
Warner Home Video, 2008
A Lively and lovely Irishman!
It is incredible to know that Gerry will be dead in the beginning of this very romantic film! Gerard Butler (Gerry) and Hilary Swank (Holly) have great chemistry indeed. Gerry loves Holly so much that before dying of a brain cancer leaves her several letters, each one ...

Impactful

Iron Jawed Angels
Hilary Swank, Margo Martindale
Hbo Home Video, 2004
Inspiring
Don't judge this DVD by it's incredibly inappropriate artwork. The story and the characters blew me away(in a good way). We all need examples of strength, courage, wisdom and sticktoitiveness to give us a boost in fighting our daily battles. This story delivers them. ...

Million Dollar Baby (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Jay Baruchel, Marcus Chait
Warner Home Video, 2005
The Characters are Great!
Do not let anyone tell you that this is not a film about boxing as some critics have said - it is, or at least 85% of it is. But, whether you are boxing fan or not (and I am definitely not!) this is a great film, that is brilliantly acted and directed with the three ...

The Black Dahlia (Widescreen Edition)
Brian De Palma, Steve Eastin
Universal Studios, 2006
SO MUCH POTENTIAL, SO MUCH WASTED 6 OUT OF 10
I like crime dramas, they are a very sophisticated form of film and most of them have been compelling and rather interesting and they really know how to deliver plots and twists. This film however, squanders the potential it has by not taking its interesting ideas ...

The Reaping
Hilary Swank
Warner Home Video, 2007
The Reaping Starring Hilary Swank
"The Reaping" is for the most part a good supernatural/horror film..... That is until the last 20 minutes of the storyline went completely haywire and the over-the-top special effects & the "End of Days" type theme killed the movie.
The Pros: Hilary Swank does a ...

Dying to Belong
Sarah Chalke, Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Platinum Disc, 2005
Great video for teens
I teach "The Battle of Jericho" and this video does a pretty good job depicting the hazing issue. My female students enjoyed it more than the males.
