"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a powerful, hugely well-acted film that should be on everyone's Top Ten and should be in every film collection. The book took me for a ride as a child, one of those rare books we were made to read in school that I could not put down; the ...

Faye Dunaway, William Holden

Warner Home Video, 2006

Virtual reality and corporate cosmology
I saw "Network" when it was released in 1977. I'd just graduated from college and was still pretty wet behind the ears. Now, with thirty years' worth of experience in the world, I've watched the film again, and am stunned by how prescient it is. Screenplay author ...

Best Billy Bob Thorton movie ever!
To me, Sling Blade is byfar Billy Bob Thorton's best performance in a movie to date. Not only did Billy Bob star in it, he also written and directed it as well. Billy Bob has a pretty good set of co-stars staring with him such as John Ritter, a young Lucas Black, ...
