Holly Hunter

Michael Badalucco, George Clooney

Touchstone, 2001

One of the funniest movies of all time.
This Movie is great on so many levels. The writing is hillarious and casting is spot on. Clooney's character is great. The music is great. I just don't know how to praise it any more. I've watched the movie multiple times and still laugh out loud every time. Thats why ...

The Incredibles (Full Screen 2-Disc Collector's Edition)

Maeve Andrews, Michael Bird (IV)

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2005

We LOVE the Incredibles!
Who wouldn't LOVE this movie?!?!? It's for all ages, especially loved by my 3-4 year-old. He watches it over & over. Parents love it too! Great film!

Thirteen

Evan Rachel Wood, Nikki Reed

20th Century Fox, 2004

Oh to be young again?
I feel a need for a disclaimer here. This is a positive review, I thought Thirteen was a very good film. Okay disclaimer covered. Imagine two hours of sitting in a pit of eels after drinking eighteen cups of coffee. That's about as uncomfortable as the two hours I ...

Raising Arizona

Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter

20th Century Fox, 1999

The Coen Brother's Quintessential Comedy
The Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning triumph for "No Country for Old Men" seemed to me as much recognition of two decades of excellent, if quirky, filmmaking as it was celebration of that specific film masterpiece. Their films defy categorization, although I think it is ...

Saving Grace - Season 1

Holly Hunter

20th Century Fox, 2008

Holly Hunter delivers a breathtaking performance
"Saving Grace" is a marvelous showcase for the talents of Holly Hunter. She's fearless in her portrayal of Oklahoma City detective Grace Hanadarko. The way her emotions play across her face - threatening sudden violence like a summer tornado or breaking into a smile ...

Blood Simple

John Getz, Frances McDormand

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

There's nothing simple about this bloodbath...
Without doubt one of the Coen's darkest films, `Blood Simple' is also one of their best. Slow, brooding and manipulative, `Blood Simple' unfolds like one of the most unsettling horror movies of our generation, and it does so with such distinguished fire we can't help ...

Home for the Holidays

Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr.

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great underrated film
This great story about a more "normal" family than most will ever admit starts funny and ends nicely (and you will need to pay attention to get it). In between we are taken on a roller coaster ride of insanity, dark humor, insight, observation and discomfort - as in ...

The Incredibles (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

The Coen Brothers Movie Collection (Fargo / Miller's Crossing / Barton Fink / Raising Arizona / Blood Simple)

Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter

MGM (Video & DVD), 2007

Great collection, great price!
This is a must have for Coen brothers fans. Awesome collection of their earlier works. The only missing piece is The Big Lebowski. Alas this will be re-released again and again in various collector editions. For the money this collection is your best bet. You will ...

Always

Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter

Universal Studios, 1999

GREAT!!!!!!!
I agree totally with Patricia A. Sanders. I thought I was emotionally dead but then I put this movie in the DVD player and off I was to feeling strong emotions again. This one has the magic for sure. It pulls all the strings in your heart and it thrills you to the ...

The Piano

Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel

Lions Gate, 1998

A graceful escape into a world more human than ourselves...
I had wanted to see `The Piano' for years, since I was about fifteen I think. I remember reading this extensive review for it lauding it as one of the most deeply moving and touching films of the 20th century. It took me until early this year before I actually got ...

Copycat

Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter

Warner Home Video, 1998

Creepy good.
Copycat starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter is the best cat and mouse game of all-time. Released in 1995, I still find this film intriguing and nail-biting. The two stars are dynamite together, look out for a creepy Harry Connick Jr. who plays a copycat serial ...

Crash

James Spader, Holly Hunter

New Line Home Video, 1998

Brilliant. a shame the title was stolen for such a trivial "Oscar Movie"
If you are offended by this film, I guess you're the kind to be offended by my writing (myspace.com/themercyclock) as I was told by a "mentor for a week" contrived-sell-out-writer Jonthan Maberry told me he did not want his name associated with my new novel "The Mercy ...

Living Out Loud

Holly Hunter, Danny DeVito

New Line Home Video, 1999

a real gem
this is a great movie-- nyc shines in it too and the acting is superb-- holly hunter is a revelation in this touching bright witty charming unpredictABLE love story---devito is at his best and queen latifah should only sing jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz--her version of lush life ...

The Firm

Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn

Paramount Home Video, 2000

Excellent, engrossing, substantial complexity --
and one of Gene Hackman's greatest performances. The man is so real, and the character so believable, you'd think Hackman were the character. Except he isn't, because the character is a hackman, while Hackman is an extraordinary actor. Probably Cruise's best ...
