Take Me To The River, or The Fight of the Phoenix
Dog Fight is a charming little movie, surprisingly sensitive for such an ugly subject. Eddie Birdlace (River Phoenix) is a young marine who will soon be shipping out to Viet Nam. A marine tradition is to have a dog fight, a contest to see who can get the ugliest girl to come to a party. Eddie asks Rose (Lili Taylor) but then regrets it when he starts to like her. While in the Ladies Room she ...

'UNDER THE RADAR' COMEDY CLASSIC!!!
'Four Rooms' is a 1995 Anthology comedy that features a collaboration of four different directors; Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Quentin Terantino, and Robert Rodriguez. 'Four Rooms' is a widly silly, slap-stick, funny, strange, and entertaining film that doesn't get the noteriaty that it deserves so I thought I'd write a review to spread the word. Our story is told through the point of ...

Love this Movie!
I remember this movie when i was a teen. It was my favorite movie. When i noticed it on Amazon i new i had to get it for my collection. I still love it. My husband says it's a "chick flick". I don't care! It brings me back to the 80's.

neat story idea
Got to see a trailer for this on NETFLIX and it looks like it will really be an interesting film to watch. Gave it four(4)stars just based on the trailer.

What the USA is STILL all about
Having been born out of the USA and worked and lived in France, Germany, UK (England/Scotland) and here in the USA the past 24 years (am only in my mid 40'), I have done much: I recognize true quality. This movie is a very good thank you to Daniel Ruettiger who in real life did that dream come true. Even now, in 2008 and to come, on 148 countries, how many really are true democracies? ...

Not bad
I bought this to replace the VHS version I had that had seen better days. This movie won't win any awards but as horror movies go it wasn't bad. It has a talented cast and I enjoy watching it from time to time.

Excellence
This is an excellent presentation of the story of beloved Anne Frank, the story, the acting, the presentation, all are excellently and marvelously presented. Ben Kingsley shines in the role of the Father of Anne Frank, and the young actress playing Anne is simply a delight. Albeit, this is not a movie meant to entertain, it deeply probes and represents the truth and the original context of the ...

BENT HAMER, OPUS 4
***1/2 2005. This motion picture is an adaptation of Charles Bukowski's Factotum ant it was co-written and directed by the Norwegian director Bent Hamer. Henry Chinaski writes novellas, is most of the time drunk and can't keep a job. This adaptation of Charles Bukowski is a very good surprise to me. Bent Hamer managed to give us the impression that all the characters seem to live in a cloud and ...

Outrageous, but full of good will
This is the movie that redeemed John Waters for me. It's laugh-out-loud funny, totally outrageous, but full of good will and human kindness. It skewers the New York art establishmant most delightfully and casts an affectionate eye on Baltimore and its denizens. An absolute delight!

Perfection
Langella. Langella. Langella. An extremely rare example of perfection. He has an almost imperceptible subtlety in his performance. Watching his eyes was how I understood the story. Think Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond. The film seems to have some editing issues. I had some questions about the characters and the plot. These are slight, though, and the story works well. But watching Frank Langella ...

A Crazy Quilt
Why all the hate for FEADY TO WEAR? Like many of you, I was underwhelmed when it first came out but now thanks to constant showings on the Sundance Channel and all those channels in that narrow band of indie cable, it has been growing on me and now I can't stop watching it. Barbara Shulgasser's writing is wonderful, and if it has been chopped up like cole slaw by Altman's fitful direction, and ...

Rodney at his "can't-get-no-respect" best
These 2 films (aside from "Caddyshack") are Rodney Dangerfield at the top of his game. What a great idea to put them both on one disc. I have both films on separate DVDs, but would gladly trade 'em in for this space-saving combo package. Ol' Rodney may be gone, and he didn't win any Oscars for his comic performances, but one thing's for sure: he kept me laughing from start to finish! Long ...

A great movie with believable characters!
Why this movie never hit the big screen, I'll never know. Perhaps because Courtney Love was having problems by the time is was released, or most likely the reason is the subject matter - bisexuality. Lili Taylor plays a housewife who is unhappy in her marriage to a very chauvanistic husband and Courtney Love plays her best friend. Lili's character and Courtney begin an intimate relationship which ...

Fantastic movie!
This is a great movie because it is about the first Gulf War. I think people forget what happened then and how it relates to today. It is also an interesting accounting of the beginning of 24 hour news. All actors do a great job.

You won't be disappointed
Critics moaned when Jennifer Jason Leigh was tapped to portray Dorothy Parker, the Grand Lady of Barbed Words whose light shone brightest in the colorful 1920s. And, predictably, many critics trashed Leigh's performance. But, while Leigh made her name making sexy comedies and sexy thrillers, she actually does an excellent job here as the witty wordsmith in "Mrs. Parker & the Vicious Circle." OK, ...
