The cooking is fine, but the movie is about love, wisdom and friendship...without sentimentality
I don't know whether this film hits my heart the way it does because of the feelings of friendship, love, closeness to others or the warmth of that transformation Babette's cooking creates, but when the feast starts and for the rest of the movie, I choke up often. Yes, this is a feel-good movie, but without a speck of mawkishness or facile sentimentality. Please note that elements of the plot ...

It's Chucky's 20th Birthday, and it's CHILD'S PLAY
In the annals of horror cinema and television, there aren't many creatures that are scarier than a doll or puppet with a mind of its own. The evil ventriloquist's dummy in DEAD OF NIGHT (1945), the malevolent Talky Tina in the classic TWILIGHT ZONE episode "Living Doll" (1963), the demonic Zuni fetish doll in the classic made-for-TV movie TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975), and the vengeful creations of ...

Blu-ray specific review
This movie is a classic. Many reviews here describe why this movie is just that and I won't dwell on that aspect of the movie. I will say this though. This is my absolute favorite of the Disney classics. The art direction is simply superb, many scenes present themselves as multi-layered moving story books. It not only is an interesting direction but is entirely complimentary to midieval ...

Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara

Sony Pictures, 2005

Realistic portrayal of the final days in the bunker.
English subtitles with German language dialog give this film an audiophonic realism. Combined with the excellent acting by this German cast, and one gets the "feeling" of watching history play out before your eyes. I was torn between a superb and well acted glimpse of history and my emotions of unrelentless hatred towards these criminals, cowards and drug addicts responsible for snuffing out ...

Cooper's the eldest, but Brick's the favorite. Unfortunately, Brick's married to Maggie the Cat (Taylor) who hasn't favored him with children yet. Cooper's got a bunch of 'no neck monsters' which puts him in favor. "Cat on a Hot ...

Warner Home Video, 2006

Very good film
When I was a child, I watched this film for the first time on TV. Now, I'm so glad in having this product on DVD and I watch it once and once again in Christmas time. There are new or modern versions for "The grinch" and also for "Horton" but I prefere these ancient films because they were the first and touched my heart.

Fun and Beautiful Film.
Being a fan of everything 80's and romantic comedies, I decided to give "13 Going On 30" a try. I expected a fluffy but crappy film but boy, I was wrong. This film is brilliantly cast and very well written. This film keeps the viewer interested and on their toes the entire time. In my opinion, this film has become a classic and is not far away from my DVD player. I really recommend this film! ...

"THE DUKE " SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST!
'The Shootist' is a great picture, if not a bit eerie that it echoes the tragic fate of it's beloved legendary star. It's even stranger that John Wayne was not the first choice to star in this film! Can you imagine this film with anyone else playing his part? When Wayne was finally cast, many Hollywood stars like Lauren Bacall, James Stewart, Ron Howard and Richard Boone came to "The Duke's" ...

There Are Straight Fans Too
I, as well, eagerly acquired a fullscreen DVD of this film from a VHS master. I discovered this play via the film when I was a teenager. (I had a VERY progressive-minded grandma, for an old-world Russian immigrant, who took me to see it -- and her only question, when it was over, was, "If you're with people like that, could you be like them?" I assured her it didn't work like that, which she ...

Witty and utterly charming
Calendar Girls During a business trip to Washington, D.C., I saw the original Rylstone calendar on which the movie was based. I was intrigued, to say the least so had to see the film when it came out. Later, I bought the DVD (this, like a similar film--The Full Monty--is one you'll want to have in your DVD library). The film is loosely based on a true story, of a North Yorkshire District ...

The only movie my twins will watch in the car!
My 15 month old twins have loved this movie ever since they started watching it about 5 months ago. This is the only movie that will keep their attention in the car and I have yet to find another that is as entertaining and captivating as this!

Creepshow

Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau

Warner Home Video, 1999

Classic, pure and simple
Creepshow is a name that I feel gets often overlooked in the horror community. Directed by George Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead), the film is comprised of 5 short films based on tales by Stephen King. It's a fantastic homage of sorts to the E.C horror comics of the 50's, and is a great mixture of horror with a touch of comedy thrown in for good measure. The result is a well ...
