entertaining and illuminating
It's ironic that I watched this movie about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan at a time when a resurgent and newly aggressive Russia is crushing a fledgling democracy in Georgia. It made the experience all the more poignant. Just taken as entertainment, and leaving aside the politics, I enjoyed this story of how an obscure Texas congressman known mostly for his womanizing managed to fund ...

ENCHANTING ALL THE FAMILY!
I simply adored this movie! The timeless fairy tale of the princess who is deceived by the queen so that she is not allowed to marry her beloved prince and become the new queen. The animation part is superb and was handmade. As everybody knows the princess falls through a kind of precipice and her punishment is to arrive at today's New York and become a real person, of flesh and blood! Lovely, ...

Wedding Date
Wedding Date: A romantic, funny, enticing story set in a breathtakingly beautiful location in London and the London country side. Kat (D Messing) takes a very handsome, sophisticated escort (D Mulroney) to her sister's wedding in London where her ex-fiance is the best man. Many surprising and unusual secrets and issues surface through out the movie. I have never known of any wedding quite like ...

Miss Pettigrew Made Our Day
When I bought this movie, I didn't quite know what to expect. MISS PETTIGREW is one of those movies that if it did come to the theaters in rural Alabama, I probably would not have gone to see it because the theaters are reserved for "blockbusters." A look at the box shows no comment from a critic that I have grown to know and respect, I was curious about how Amy Adams and Frances McDormand ...

Watching a Novel
This is one of the movies that I had to be dragged to in order to see. I normally don't like Steve Carrell's comedy and I thought the premise sounded stupid and predictable. Within ten minutes, I was completely captivated. I have watched this film three times now and each time, I feel like I am somehow watching a novel. As a writer, I responded on such a guttural level. Although there are a ...

Rock on....
A good light hearted comedy about a bunch of metal heads. If you like Adam Sandler comedies this is a great addition.

And the Greatest of These is Love
This is a wonderful film, but can be confusing (Starting with the title- the sole thing wrong with this movie is the idiotic title). I have watched it many times and and find more all of the time. In some ways, this is like a Scandinavian movie: The plot is in fact very dense and close nit- absolutely every part ties together- BUT it is not spelled out for you like some sort of formulaic ...

Amy Adams was robbed of an Oscar
She gave an incredible performance. The characters all feel real, and complex. In fact, I think Amy Adams' Ashley was a much more beautiful character than any of the others. Although, Ben MacKenzie's character has a scene where he attempts to record a meerkat special for Ashley, seeing as how they're her favorite animals, and it's both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. And, eventually, ...

Fast
I love Amazon! What I love about it most is that even though I'm overseas I still get fast and friendly service. Without fail I always get my product within a week. I only wish I can purchase everything from Amazon. Thanks!

GO PRE GO !!
It's hard to say anything bad about a movie which features the life story of a terrific athlete who died way too young. Since the object of this film died in a car wreck at age 24, it seems it's somehow "off-limits" to be critical of "Without Limits" -- the compelling story of 1970s long distance phenom Steve Prefontaine, of the University of Oregon. But this movie earns praise. You don't ...

Invaluable Parental Aid for Raising Daughters
You've read the plot synopsis and you probably know that Drop Dead Gorgeous is Drop Dead Funny. One of the things that makes it work is that the cast almost never winks at the audience. There's hardly a clue that this is an over-the-top parody. This deadpan quality is what made it such a great daughter-rearing aid. When our child was about the age when lipstick starts to supplant funny face ...

Refreshing and fun to watch
I watched the DVD with my 13 year old granddaughter and we loved it. I remembered when my mom bought the first Nancy Drew books for me and my four sisters each read them in turn. I now have them and my daughter read them in her tweens. Now my granddaughter is reading them. Some things are timeless, even with today's hip kids.
