Miramax, 2009

culture clash made vivid by insinuation, fear, and career
This is a very interesting story about the conflict between a tradition-bound disciplinarian, Streep, and a progressive priest played brilliantly by Hoffman. Though it takes place in 1964, the 60s upheavals are really only beginning. Streep wants to keep things simple and controlled, Hoffman to open the church to new ideas. While Streep is more overtly political in the way she enlists a young ...

A true delight!
I hesitated with this movie, but obviously without just cause. Not sure what made me hesitate, but we were in the library looking for something we hadn't seen a million times and finally gave this a try. I guess I had heard negative things about it in the past but truthfully, I shouldn't have listened. This movie is a delight! The music is classic Disney, catchy, lovely tunes you just can't ...

Clever, witty & clean!
When I read the critical reviews about "Leap Year," I wasn't too excited to see it. Thankfully, I didn't listen and rented it this weekend to watch with my teenage kids. We absolutely loved it. In fact, we watched it twice and loved it even more the second time because we were able to more fully catch the subtle wit and humor. Who says romcoms have to be full of sex and inuendo to attract teenage ...

I just love this movie
Excellent story and cast, the movie that you can watch more then once. With each new watching I am discovering the nuances that I have previously missed.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards

New Line Home Video, 1999

One of the "most funniest" movies ever!
This is a must see. Some of the humor is pretty subtle, so pay attention! Also, this is NOT a chick flick. I know it looks like it is, but it's not. You will notice new things each time you watch the movie. It never gets old.

Sunshine Cleaning

Overture Films/Anchor Bay Entertainment, 2009

A "bloody" gem.
Sunshine Cleaning starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt is an interesting indie flick about two sisters learning to find themselves by "cleaning" up after the dead. Directed by Christine Jeffs (Sylvia) and co-starring Alan Arkin, Sunshine Cleaning was a pleasant surprise. Adams and Blunt are extraordinary in their roles, I love everything about this film - the premise, the acting, and the emotional ...

Loved the video !!
I really loved this video. However, I am a grandmother and had bought this for my year old grandson. He loves the other Veggie Tales that are shorter. This one was way too long - my mistake not realizing it was a movie and not broken up into little stories. Definitely going to keep it when he gets older.

WILL LOVE IT UNTIL I DIE
I started watching Wings in 1993 and instantly fell in love with the show and all of the actors. My daughter Janet Lea York was killed on September 19, 2009. I was crushed beyond belief. Wings has been my therapy and my friend for a very long time. Janet was only 13 and the day we laid her to rest, I received the DVD of the Final Season in the mail. what perfect timing, no one could console me ...

Sony Pictures, 2004

Charming
50 First Dates is absolutely charming. Adam Sandler's girlfriend (Drew Barrymore) loses her short-term memory, so he must find a way to save their relationship when she doesn't remember it. Of course, it's totally unrealistic, but nonetheless heart-warming. This is a light-hearted movie and doesn't really get philosophical about amnesia and love, but it's good for a relaxing date movie. The ...
