A beautiful meditation on life, love, birth, and death -- what it means to be human in a changing & challenging world.
Spoilers, be forewarned. The Namesake is a beautifully shot film that not only gets to the heart of the immigrant experience, but also tells a deeply moving tale about humanity -- about what it means to be human, vulnerable and dependent on both family and strangers in a changing and insecure world. There are brilliant acting performances in this film (the "parent" Indian actors Tabu and ...

Grains of Truth
"August Rush" touched me. What a special sense it brings to the process of creativity, opening up and receiving inspiration! What a rush as it flows through your mind!

Gentle, Moving Film About Dementia
I thought this movie was very nice about a husband who is slowly losing his wife to Alzheimer's Disease. It presents the decline of the wife to the point that she needs to go into an assisted living facility as we would call them in the US. The wife slowly declines and finds her own life in the institution as the husband finds some life besides the wife. But they do come together in their own ...

Lugubrious Hybrid of the Food Network and Lifetime Makes for an Attractive But Bland Movie
Despite what I recall of the advertising campaign last year, this soft-hearted 2007 film is far less a Food Network-derived romantic comedy than a Lifetime-oriented drama about grief and work/life balance. Directed by Scott Hicks (Shine) and written by first-timer Carol Fuchs, this film offers the most insightful peek into the workings of an upscale Manhattan restaurant since 2000's Dinner Rush ...

Delightful family film based on Neil Gaiman's book
Many excellent books have been turned into disappointing films, and quite a few into good films which equal or come close to matching the book. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the films based on books as good as Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" which actually surpass the book. This is one of them. Neil Gaiman himself was joint Producer with Director/screenwriter Matthew Vaughn, and they ...

IT TRULY WAS A VERY FUNNY FILM
I WASN'T EXPECTING MUCH BUT THE FILM HAD SOME VERY FUNNY MOMENTS. FOR A LOW BUDGET MOVIE THE LOOK WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND BELIEVABLE. THE ACTORS LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN MAKING THE MOVIE. THE FILM ITSELF WAS A REAL PLEASANT SURPRISE AND WORTH THE PRICE OF THE DVD.

Thought Provoking
I have just finished watching Evening and felt I must see what others thought about it. I have not been moved by a film in a very long time - Evening did it for me. I was in awe of Vanessa Redgrave's performance, from her death bed. She is such an amazing actress. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Evening made me long for my best girlfriend/made of honor, who has passed away; it made me ...

"SLEEPWALKING" MOVIE REVIEW BY MICHAEL ELLIANO
I HAVE MADE A POINT OF ONLY RATING MOVIES THAT ARE A 5 OR ABOVE. I WATCH A LOT OF THEM AND THIS WAS GOOD DRAMA. I HAPPEN TO LIKE ALL TYPES OF MOVIES BUT ENJOY THE MOVIES WITH MORE HEART AND LESS VIOLENCE MORE. THIS IS MORE OF AN INDEPENDENT TYPE FILL WITH GOOD ACTING AND LIKEABLE CHARACTERS. YOU COULD WATCH IT TWICE. ENJOY.

Suave, doce e autêntico
Every once in a while a film comes along that sucks you into it so completely that you forget that you are watching a movie. None of the lines are forced, none of the "action" defies real life, none of the emotion contrived. This was almost like watching a docudrama, but the pace, the mood and feel were so gentile, loving, sweet yet authentic that it was like being a fly on the wall to two ...

High reviews from one of the creatures
I grew up feeling like "a creature" in my own childhood and I remember well how it was when I always felt like I didn't fit in because I wasn't like everybody else. This movie is sweet and easy to watch---in fact, I watched it 3 times in 3 days. John Cusack plays David, a successful young writer of science fiction. David and his wife had planned to adopt a child but she died two years earlier. ...

A Terrific Feel-Good Movie!!!
I just finished watching this movie for like the 25th time. Watching this movie reminds me why John Travolta is one of my most favorite actors. I loved his portrayal of Mrs. Edna Turnblad. No, he didn't look like a Miss America contestant, but not many of us do. John pulled this one off, and to see him dancing and singing again was a pure joy. Newcomer, Nikki Blonsky, was perfectly cast. It ...

Not just a chick flick
My son brought his DVD collection home from his stint in the military and took this movie out to cheer me one day. I'm not enthusiastic about movies with a medical theme especially not dying patients (I was a nurse and my husband is a surgeon) but he assured me that it was uplifting and not too dark and dire. Three cheers for Bonny Hunt. What a smash hit! I've always loved her acting style but ...

FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2008

Very Special
"The Rabbit is Me" Very Special Amos Lassen Unbeknownst to me "The Rabbit is Me" is considered to be one of the most important German films ever made. Now that I have seen the wonderful First Run Features DVD released, I see why this is said. It is thoughtful, it is natural and it is replete with the independent strength of its heroine. The fluidity of the camera work and the sarcastic ...
