Addicted to Love [VHS]
Meg Ryan, Matthew Broderick
Warner Home Video, 1998
There's no way to talk yourself out of 'dumped.'
As the title of this review indicates, this is one of the lessons they don't teach in school, and this is precisely what the film explores. Once the realization has been made that there is no way to return to the way things were, then the anger sets in, and in the case ...

Restoration [VHS]
Robert Downey Jr., Sam Neill
Miramax, 1997
Wonderful movie.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's an historical drama, and it's set in an era of British history that is somewhat less known that much of the rest. The story is multi-layered and very well told. The movie itself is visually very pleasing. The cast is ...

When a Man Loves a Woman [VHS]
Andy Garcia, Meg Ryan
Walt Disney Video, 1995
A lost gem
This movie is a lost gem, and should have gotten Meg Ryan an award. There was very little wrong with this film and so much right out there. Needless to say I liked the acting by all and the storyline. This was not a chick flick but a movie of substance a deep raw ...

Flesh & Bone [VHS]
Julia McNeal, Ron Kuhlman
Paramount, 1995
A Rare Bird
Steve Kloves' Flesh and Bone (1993) is a rare bird indeed, a movie with unassuming depths. A beautiful film, moving and eerie and almost mysterious in its effects, it has a grace and poetry all its own. And it went almost entirely unnoticed by the movie-going public. ...

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and up till now I didn't remember the name of it but I remembered the plot and parts of the movie stuck in my head. At Last I found it and it won't drive me nuts anymore trying to figure it out. I will be buying this ...

You've Got Mail [VHS]
Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan
Warner Home Video, 1999
"You've Got Mail" is superb!
I have always loved this film since the first time I saw it as a child. Getting the deluxe edition was a good choice for me because of the extra features, especially when they have Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, and Nora Ephron sitting down together ten years later reminiscing ...

Joe Versus the Volcano [VHS]
Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan
Warner Home Video, 1999
Make no mistake: this is a solid comedy!
Does it have toilet humor? No. Does it have fart jokes? No. Does it have lots of sexual innuendo? Not really. So what makes me think that this is a solid comedy? Because it's much better than most lame comedies that are out right now! This is a brilliant 1990 film that ...

French Kiss [VHS]
Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline
Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 1997
Adorable
There are a lot of forgettable love stories out there, but this somewhat obscure gem is a keeper that you're likely to be quoting lines from years after seeing it. I never knew the always adorable Meg Ryan had such a flair for comedy before I saw this. With Kevin ...

Oliver's Story is a must-see sequel for all those Love Story fans who cried when Jenny died. There is serious truth to the fact that only another great love can heal the hurt and loss of an equally great love. There is something to love being the great healer of our ...

Captain Planet: Toxic Terror [VHS]
David Coburn, Joey Dedio
Turner Home Ent, 1998
Great Show!!
I have loved Captain Planet since the show first aired on TBS/Cartoon Nework. Captain Planet is so cool. The episodes are more exciting than you would think. Since the show is based on saving the planet from pollution you would think that the show would be dull and ...
