My introduction to this legendary piece of literature.
Maybe I should have read the books first. The first time I watched this movie, I absolutely hated it. However, considering how long it is and how much praise it's gotten I decided to watch it again. Second time? Still didn't like it, I had no idea what was going on or who was who, and why are all these pointy eared dwarfs running around? I think by the fourth or fifth time I finally figured ...

just a little review
I just had to stop and do a quick review of this movie. This is the first review of a movie I have ever done. The reason I had to review this one in particular is because while glancing through DVDs on Amazon.com I noticed this one had only 3 stars. What??? I thought this was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Definitely one of the best "family" movies ever. Sometimes I find ...

New Line Home Video, 2003

A Masterpiece of Epic Proportions
"The Two Towers" is as close to a perfect movie as I've seen. It's epic in scope, both in the actual story as well as the task of adapting the book into a movie. While showing respect for the source material, Jackson wasn't afraid to tweak here and there in order to make the story work as a movie. Instead of having half the movie tackle the Aragorn/Rohan story and the latter half detail Frodo ...

Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour

Image Entertainment, 2004

The best version of this classic!
This is a must have if you like Anne of Green Gables, The Man from Snowy River, or any of the Jane Austin's. I've seen other versions and this is by far the best. Funny and suspensful...still great after all these years. Perfect for the girls' night.

Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou

Sony Pictures, 2006

Excellent Film
Commonly, those who criticize this film negatively are those who have biased views and perspectives. I personally loved this film. It was thought provoking. The music was excellent. The historical reanactments were very well protrayed. A movie that I have watched for countless times.

X-Men Trilogy (X-Men/ X2 - X-Men United/ X-Men - The Last Stand)

James Marsden, Ian McKellen

20th Century Fox, 2006

Can watch over and over again
This was one of the best triolgy movie groups. I can watch these flicks over and over again...but I have to admit the third one didn't really make me as a girl too happy. I'd say that you should buy this set if you don't have it - it's great.

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2006

X-men The Last STand is Great
X-men 3 was plagued with obstacles during its making: several director switches, ridiculous time restraints, etc. But it truly shows how amazing X-men is that, despite all of the troubles to get it made, it is a FANTASTIC movie. It is very emotional and exciting. It is actually geared toward the GENERAL movie population, and much less toward comic followers. Comic followers will love it too if ...

The rings are golden.
In the opening years of the 21st century, J.K. Rowling and Peter Jackson, acting separately, delivered fantasy storytelling out of the shadows to the centre of popular culture. Rowling's "Harry Potter" novels and the films based on them were a new phenomenon, but Jackson's part was the adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic "Lord of the Rings" book series for the big screen. This series of three ...

Hollywood finally gets the "superhero" thing right.
I didn't grow up with the X Men, I grew up with superfriends lol. I wasn't sure what to expect when I rented this one, I knew who wolverine was but none of the other characters. I liked it. I'm so glad Hollywood decided to get actors who can actually act. They definitely give the characters depth and personality. The story is very good, how can you not love Magneto??? The direction is ok, ...

The Shadow

Alec Baldwin, John Lone

Universal Studios, 1997

What makes a great movie...The Shadow knows!
This is a straight ahead adventure film with an all-star cast giving great performances in the style of the 30's and 40's mysteries. The film is definitely a throwback and I think that may be what turned-off the audiences of the 90's, as the tone is very classic in it's over dramatic performances and humor. That being said, the film has some great scenes: -The Shadow's intro is perfect ...

Richard III

115 reviews
Ian McKellen, Annette Bening

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Chilling Version Of A Shakespeare Classic
When it comes to updates of the Shakespeare plays , Richard III is probably the best of the lot. While it might seem like an unusual concept to take the classic play of deceit, betrayal, seduction, and cold-blooded murder out of the 1400's and into an alternate history 1930's version of England, the cast and production designs make that concept seem not only believable but so realistic you might ...

Flushed Away (Widescreen Edition)

Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet

Dreamworks Animated, 2007

Gets better every time
This is one of those movies that gets better each time you watch it because you catch more of the little jokes inserted in between the lines. The CGI is terrific. Hugh Jackman's accent as an English gentleman is realistic but, as a mark of any good actor, he always does a realistic accent anyway, English or American (see 'Someone Like You' for proof). Kate Winslet lends a perfect voice to the ...

Cold Comfort Farm

Eileen Atkins, Kate Beckinsale

Universal Studios, 2003

Delightful!
Cold Comfort Farm is the type of sly, witty ,humane,eccentric type of comedy that Americans don't make and the British do superbly! A satire on gloomy English novels this movie is fun even if you don't recognize all the characters or novels that are being satirized. ( I was clueless) on most). This movie charms , delights, and surprises from beginning to end! All the acting is wonderful ...

A&E Home Video, 2004

Far Better than Orson Welles Version
My daughter made 1st witch in her 6th grade school play. In my youth I did Hamlet and Richard III, so I KNOW the difficulty and skill to do Shakespeare correctly. This is done WELL. Short of Lord Olivier's performances, which are rare at best, there is no better production company of those that really do define the best trained Shakespearean actors available. And while my daughter is not Lady ...

"It's Him, The Eye ~ Here At The End Of All Things"
With the '03 release of `The Return of the King', the third and final film in the `Lord of the Rings' trilogy one can only seat back and marvel at the remarkable feat accomplished by Peter Jackson and crew. When one wants to speak of something that is truly of epic proportions this is now and will be for quite sometime the benchmark by which all other attempts will be measured. There simply isn't ...
