Strictly Ballroom

Miramax, 2002

Fun Film, Meaningful Theme
Strictly Ballroom is a movie that you can watch again and again and its still entertaining each time. Many cliches are used to bring humor to this very funny film, however the movie has a slightly serious hidden theme: "A life lived in fear... is a life half lived." I recommend this film for people who enjoy musicals or entertaining foreign films. A tidbit for those of you who are more concerned ...

They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore
I remember watching this mini-series back in 1979 and I am so pleased to see it out on DVD now. In 1909, Maggie Rogers is hired at the White House as a maid to the Presidents family. She is the first African-American woman to hold this key position. Not much of a job considering the long hours, low wages and primadonna like behaviour of some of the President's and their families. The cast is ...

Less Than Zero

20th Century Fox, 2002

Masterpeice and Seminal Film of the Late 1980s
"Less Than Zero" is one of the seminal films of its era. Director Marek Kanievska and cinematographer Ed Lachman created a masterpiece of form and style, unlike any other film in the 1980s. "Less Than Zero" visual style was the first to blend the high style glossy fashion ad look of Los Angeles and Palm Springs with the first MTV generation energy of music videos. For example, one of the ...

Awesome comedy!
Just seeing the name of this great movie brings back a great memory from 1996. At the age of 18, even though I was officially an adult, thanks to being a member of the Fox Kids Club in my area as a kid, I was able to win free tickets to see a prescreening of First Kid because I knew Sinbad's name. My girlfriend on one side and a good friend on the other, we had to travel an hour to get to the ...

Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Another Amazing Pixar Offering.
I honestly thought the trend with movie companies was that when they have tremendous success with their first and second films they eventually begin to slide in quality. At least until they hit that next big pinnacle film that makes them a massive wad of cash. Pixar have done the impossible with Finding Nemo. As their 5th feature film Finding Nemo was equally as solid and original as its ...

Good condition
The movie itself is a look into the lifestyle that some people lead. All the actors gave really good performances and I recommend it to anyone with a taste of something not of the norm.

Wow!
This is clearly a true cultural classic! It is also the only Michael Moore film that I could say that I really liked. I saw it in elementary school and simply had to watch it again recently! The best acting roles in the film would have to be: the cop, the mountie, and the American president. There are just so many funny parts, but the confrontation with the mountie, the incident with the ...

Indie gem...Paxton can act...
Like most people, I saw this first on cable. About the same time, I saw Sean Penn's directorial debut, "The Indian Runner". I had a great respect for Independent films, like, forever, and "One False Move" is among the best. Carl Franklin is to be commended for putting the script (Billy Bob & Tom Epperson) to film in a concise fashion. I don't agree with previous reviewers who thought it needed ...

Kangaroo Jack is the funniest movie that I have seen in a long time. I think that Jerry O'Connell is a fine actor, with a bright future ahead of him.

Cinematic Masterpieces
I love all 3 films and Baz Lurhman for making them. The 1st film Strictly Ballroom is about a wallflower in love with an energetic young male dancer from a ballroom dancing obsessed family. Scott Hastings is set to become ballroom dancing's next star, but his partner Liz, leaves him for a hilariously drunk idiot puppet dancer. Enter Fran, the wallflower student in his mother's studio and the ...

A forgotten but still cult war movie!
Just to watch the battle scenes make of this work a masterful movie. The epic turns around the risky efforts of a tough marine in South Pacific,. Watch to David Jansen who stole the show with his natural and gentle performance. One of the most relevant war films of this decade.

Loved the movie - waiting on the HD-DVD Edition
I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters. I bought the movie when it came out on VHS. I'll buy the movie again if it comes out on HD-DVD. Otherwise, I'll keep my VHS player tuned up :)

A Kiss Before Dying

Robert Wagner, Jeffrey Hunter

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

First Half is Brilliant
He may not have been James Dean, but Robert Wagner delivers a career performance in this sorely neglected sleeper from 1956. The first half is a beautifully shaded dance of death as Wagner plots to rid himself of the inconveniently pregnant Joanne Woodward. He's all sincere insincerity from one rendevous to the next, while she wants desperately to believe, even against all odds. Has there ever ...

Helen Hunt, Chad Allen

Platinum Disc, 2001

A Helen Hunt triumph
If you're a Helen Hunt fan, you'll love this film. Personally I wanted to see it because it's a "down home in New Hampshire" flick. A true story set to film that's intriguing and has some excellent performances. The plot flows nicely and Helen Hunt is phenominal and believable as Pam Smart. In some true stories, for example, some of the Kennedy family movies, the actors just don't seem to "fit" ...

brilliant!
A fascinating exploration of obscenities, the F word in particular, by comedians, linguist, writers, and other "in the know." The movie examines the word's influences through the ages and it's march through the 20th century, including its use by George W. Bush in relation to Saddam and in other instances. This movie is brilliant, particularly, when it traces the use of the word in all areas of ...
