Thank God For Jim McKay and 'Angel'
Once again, Jim Mckay has given us a film so overflowing with humanism and cinematic care it makes Hollywood, 'Indywood,' and television look even more like the sewer of cliché' we know it to be. A film that respects it's viewers enough to avoid easy characterizations and Oprah-level morals and resolution, 'Angel Rodriguez' harkens back to that earlier era of gritty urban drama (before the Tom ...

They made a difference
This documentary opens with a passage commenting on how so many people ask why European Jewry let itself be led like sheep to the slaughter, and how people who make such comments clearly weren't there and didn't experience things like being packed together in cattlewagons, starved and tortured for months on end before being deported, reduced to animals, and losing one's entire family and circle ...

A Female Odd Couple
Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake BABY MAMA is one of the funniest comedies to come along in quite some time. Written and directed by Michael McCullers, the movie stars the always hilarious SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE gal pals, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, in what is sort of a female version of THE ODD COUPLE. Fey plays a classy, successful, well organized career woman who yearns to ...

This is now my favorite Christmas movie. It is simple yet thought provoking. The song towards the end is beautiful. It certainly sets the mood for my Christmas season.

JOLLY CHRISTMAS FUN
This little known thirty minute jewel is a delightful addition to your Christmas movie collection. Produced for BBC, the simple story follows three unlikely heroes (a rabbit, a guinea pig and a hamster) who make an effort to deliver a present to a little girl whose present falls out of Santa's sleigh. It's the delightful animation and the charming voice characters (most notably Barbara Windsor ...

Miss Lettie is for Me
This film was produced by the cable channel TNT and having noted that one should not expect that the result is a bonafide theatrical release, but taken for what it is MISS LETTIE & ME is great tear-jerking, holiday entertainment. Holiday films are sappy, they are supposed to be because that is why we watch... Who would watch A CHRISTMAS CAROL if Scrooge made no kind of transformation? MISS ...

This movie is truly amazing. It's a story of love and friendship all in one. The connection with Ruby and the young son is truly awesome. I also gave his to my in laws for Christmas and they loved it.

Imaginative Labors
Despite an uninteresting cast, the scriptwriter and director make this movie a very inspired effort. I did wonder about Anita Ekberg's role. Her role is rather shallow and ambiguous not to mention confusing. I am a little confounded as to what her character actually had to do with the plot. Bill Campbell, on the other hand, has the great screen impact of a Robert Mitchum or Robert Ryan. Too bad ...

Unlikely Mormon: The Conversion Story of Glenn Beck

From the Heart
Glenn Beck tells his story of going from a raging alcoholic to a church going Mormon, and of God's reality and mercy. When I first saw this DVD, I thought, great, just another being led to Jesus story--a whiny self promoting pulpit pounding affair. I was wrong. Yes, Beck feels strongly about his faith, and, at first, I thought he perhaps was being too hard on Mormons as a people; however, he ...

The Perfect Fairy Tale
For those girls/women out there who like a good love story with all the toppings (sorrow, happiness, suspense, family bonding and of course magical romance), this movie is for you! Great acting, well scripted lines and wonderful story that keeps you wanting more. The soundtrack is super too (I own it as well as the movie). The movie is quite magical, one that you can watch with your family over ...

I say Nope to Dope, but Yes to this Movie!
When my husband rented this movie, I was skeptical. After watching it, I had to add it to my DVD collection. The movie revolves around a briefcase of pot with 'bad karma' that no one can seem to get rid of. As the story unfolds, many different people are intertwined and cross each others' paths (including an artist, a she-male, a chick band, pot dealers, the FBI, and the mob) until it all ...

"Pulp Noir", Women Empowerment and Martial Arts Action...What's There Not to Like??
Everyone knows that there are a number of great Hollywood directors such as Quentin Tarantino and even Martin Scorsese who are very fond of Asian cinema, and they have good reason to be. NO BLOOD NO TEARS (2002) is one of the true testaments to that claim and a welcome tribute to pulp noir films. Whoever said that Asian directors cannot keep up with the big-shots of Hollywood deserves a SPIDER ...

A Tale of Two Worlds... in New York City
I'm always up for a good story when it comes to movies and The Visitor certainly is no exception. It's a classic tale of East meets West against the backdrop of our War on Terror and Immigration Policy (such as it is). The story is simple, yet elegant. A ROAD (Retired On Active Duty) college professor is just surviving life. He teaches only one class, rarely works on his book, considers ...

great family film
I have seen this movie several times, and I still love it. It is the story of a young girl in the 1960s whose family has a farm, and her father hires migrant workers from Mexico. The migrant workers face prejudice from the locals. The girl, Ira, befriends a young Mexican boy and has to decide whether to listen to the townspeople and reject him, or follow her heart and stay friends with him. ...
