I believe in you, Peter Pan.
Without a doubt 1991's HOOK is my favorite movie of all time. Granted, if you are a 40-something year old about to view Hook for the very first time you may have trouble truly enjoying, or even understanding it. The tale of Peter Pan(Robin Williams), the boy who ran away to Neverland; always wanted to have fun and never wanted to grow-up! But what happens when indeed he has grown and he's ...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Vista Series)

179 reviews
Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd

Disney Home Video, 2003

Enjoyable Solid Entertainment
This movie is a cartoon bonanza mixed with live action. A ridiculous and roller coaster spoof of the 1940's film noir genre. Cleverly written and executed in so many ways. This a movie the whole family can enjoy. There are many toons (cartoons) here borrowed from the likes of Disney, Looney Toons etc. You have the typical plot with bad guys the weasels and the good guys Eddie Valiant and Roger. ...

Why Imperialism
A very good action, war story;this film has it all - glorius scenery,great musical sound track, deep look into the human condition. There are rousing battle scenes and tender moments of comraderie.It is an excellent look into the Victorian emperialistic world.

Doomsday
I liked it. I'm not sure why more didn't considering it's another "Road Warrior" movie with a touch of "Resident Evil" thrown in. As for being upset because it seemed to borrow from other movies, any true movie buff will tell you lots of movies borrow from other movies or books and there aren't that many new stories seen lately. Decent acting, great action, and good music make this well worth at ...

Brazil

Jim Broadbent, Ray Cooper (II)

Universal Studios, 1998

Weird, wacky, wonderful
There aren't too many movies like "Brazil" around. It's been assigned to the category "steampunk" but I'm not sure that is correct- it has some cyberpunk attributes as well. Anyway, the labels aren't too important. What matters is the clever 3-way mix of human story, technology fantasy/satire, and sharp cynicism about the future of society. Imagine a version of "1984" where everything is ...

Mario Mario, His Brother Luigi and the Parallel World
I saw this when I was a kid, and though I wasn't exactly a huge fan of it, I did collect quite a few of the trading cards. Saw it again just recently. Though it augments a couple of the ideas from the Super Mario series (Thwomp Stompers, Goombas, etc), Super Mario Bros is nothing like those early Nintendo games. Rather than being a colourful, cute and varied fantasy, the world of the "Mushroom ...

Balto

Kevin Bacon, Bob Hoskins

Universal Studios, 2002

An epic cartoon!
Balto is one of the most emotive, epic and interesting cartoons movies I have ever seen in years. Based on a true story happened in 1925, the film deals with the raffles a half dog and half wolf creature named Balto will have to face to reach its goal. To bring from one miles away medicines for the diphtheria, that almost makes some children of that village pass away. Funny sequences ...

John Travolta, Andie MacDowell

Turner Home Ent, 1997

Love this movie
I first saw this movie years ago and had the opportunity to buy it recently. I have to say this is one of the best movies I've seen. John Travola plays the part of an ArchAngel. He definetly doesn't fit the "typical" view of an angel. The story is sad and funny and has some very poingant moments. There are also lessons being taught in the movie. I've watched it twice in the last few weeks ...

Enemy at the Gates
Very powerful movie I've always enjoyed and now, my daughter is doing a report on the same. Thank goodness for continued excellent movie making !!! This is a movie that will certainly hold your attention and focuses on other aspects that certainly do occur during any war. Worth watching.

Jet Li, Bob Hoskins

fantastic, emotional story with brutal action
basically its a story of hope, redemption, and rebirth. Danny(Jet Lee) has been raised as nothing more than an attack dog for his entire life(that he can remember). he has been forced to hurt. forced to kill. he never gets anything in return for the atrocities. he is forced to live in a cage. its the first movie in a while that actually made me care for any characters. one day a hit is taken ...

Je t'aime
Paris is a city of light, lovers, art and beauty, and it's been immortalized in paintings, music and fantasy throughout the centuries. But you've probably never seen so many facets of this city before. "Paris, Je T'aime" explores all the sides of the city in in eighteen very brief films, all set in various arrondissements of Paris, and directed by some brilliantly underrated directors with ...

The First Gere-Lane Movie
This movie made me feel like I was actually sitting in the Cotton Club. I developed an appreciation of the music from this era that has never gone away. Part of the reason to watch this movie is the late, great Gregory Hines and his also-talented brother Maurice. Not many movies can legitimately incorporate tap-dancing into the plot. I am glad that Coppola took advantage of the opportunity ...

Yes, they do make Becky too nice, but otherwise the movie's great! Lyrics from Tennyson's "Maud" anachronistic but very pretty!

Mermaids

Cher, Bob Hoskins

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Charming movie about mother-daughter relationship
This is a great movie filled with likable characters, good acting and wonderful setting. Mermaids revolves around a single mom, Mrs Flax [played by Cher] who has the tendency to uproot her two daughters and move whenever the going gets tough. They end up in a town on the east coast and settle into a rather unconventional lifestyle, for Mrs Flax is quite an eccentric and quirky character, whose ...

Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes

Sony Pictures, 2003

A real "feel-good" movie! Romance, suspense, humor ...
I was writing another book review when this movie came on TV. When I saw Jennifer Lopez, I started watching and was hooked from the first scene with her little son. I just finished it and must say I truly enjoyed the time spent watching this "feel-good" movie. It was just what the doctor ordered after a two-day stint with the flu. This certainly went well with my recuperative fare of tea and ...

Review of Sleeping Dictionary
I thought this movie was great. Jessica Alba was perfect for the role. I can not imagine anyone that would have been more suited, or done a better job. The movie was beautiful. The characters were believable for such an unfamliar situaion. The plot was interesting and executed perfectly. I think Jessica Alba has not been reviewed fairly by establishment critiques. This should put all doubts ...
