Mars Attacks! 218 reviews
Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close
Warner Home Video, 2004
Sweet!
This film makes me laugh to no end. It is yet another example of Tim Butron's phenominal and unprecidented imagination. This film clearly exemplifies the respect professionals have for Tim Burton when the likes of Jack Nicholson and Sarah Jessica Parker are willing to be disintegrated and disembodied in order to bring his story to life.

Last Days
I really liked this movie. Although we may never know what actually happened to Kurt in his last days it was good to see an emotional idea of what may have occurred. This movie is for someone who is familiar with Kurt's story or it may not make any sense to you at all.

Leap of Faith47 reviews
Steve Martin, Debra Winger
Paramount, 2003
I wonder if Benny Hinn has seen this?
Christians stayed away from this movie when it was released. They should not have. For Steve Martin is not spoofing God or Christianity, but the absurd idea of putting Faith in a walking carnival of a Minister who claims to hear repeatedly from God. It is the blind leading the blind. The irony of it is that as much as the Church objects to Hollywood, it was Hollywood that made a movie pointing ...

A Triumph of Spirit
An inspiring tale of a young colt named Lucky who endures much tragedy -- separation from his mother, war and isolation-- before gathering the courage to roam free in the grueling African desert. Anyone who has ever pondered an animal's point of view will greatly appreciate Lukas Haas' narration as the inquisitive voice of Lucky. The pure and, ultimately, triumphant views of this sensitive equine ...

Good Stuff
I was happy to find this movie on Amazon. I loved it as a kid, and wanted my kids to watch it. When they did, they liked it too. It is a haunting story with a pleasant ending. It is not very violent.

Great visuals, but disappointing adaptation
Like many of the other reviewers, I am an English teacher and was very pleased to find this adaptation to use with my 9th grade class. I have used the 1947 version but old black and white films tend to be heavy going for young audiences. This version is nowhere near as satisfying as I would like, but to break down the likes and dislikes:
It offers great visuals for the town, the village and ...

Bruce Willis, Albert Finney
Walt Disney Video, 2000
A Fabulous piece of cinematic surrealism
Certain of the films Bruce Willis has appeared in definitely cross the line between tongue-in-cheek and out and out surrealism, in the sense of Salvatore Dali or Heironymous Bosch. The most well known of these is certainly "The Fifth Element" - a wonderfully droll comedy of ultimate destruction! It is only recently that I encountered "Breakfast of Champions" as a film although I had been through ...

Laura Dern, Robert Duvall

Whose body is it, anyway?
Another movie that kept me on the edge of my seat. I originally was intrigued my Lukas Haas, of whom I have been a fan since "Witness." The theme of "unbridled female sexuality" and how it was often "handled" in more primitive times is unsettling, as it should be. The concept of a woman not owning her own body is one our society continues to struggle with, and it is a tribute to Laura Dern's ...

Brilliant, will keep you thinking about it for Days!
I never read the original novel, but I've seen both this version and the 1980 version. This, with James Caan, I found to be one of the most stimulating and thought provoking films I've ever seen. The Davidson version of 1980 I found to be cheesey and extremely disappointing. This is a must-see film, IMO.

Excellent in Recovery Group Discussions
As an Addiction counselor I have used a VHS version of this film, showing clips to generate a discussion amongst those who are in recovery for their own alcohol addiction or those who are recovering from living with a heavy/problem drinker. It is a little dated now but it still manages to affect each audience everytime in a real and therapeutic way. Certainly not a plesant film to watch from end ...

Satirical Musical
I taped this movie a couple of months ago and didn't watch it right away because I read that it was a musical. I wasn't coming up with any good images of Woody Allen doing song and dance. Boredom prompted me to take a look and I liked what I saw.
The plot of the movie is standard Woody Allen; Relationships and their discontents. Whether drama or comedy, Woody does these very well and this ...

Duck and cover
Strange as it sounds, there was a "golden era" of anti-nuke films, circa 1980-1984 (a veritable flurry of cautionary tales, spurred on, no doubt, by the dreaded thought of Ronnie R's itchy trigger finger wagging ever more perilously close to The Button with every perceived Soviet slight).
One of the best of the bunch (and as timely as ever, actually) is 1983's Testament. Originally an ...

20th Century Fox, 2007
Why do I like this movie?
Goofy. Tragic. But why am I laughing? Joseph Fiennes is a Sherlock/ genius in his own world that can't fit into ours. He can't handle the sight of blood, afraid of women, guilty over a botched police collar of a serial killer, and fastidious about safety. Winona Ryder is his foible picking Watson. Two depressed misfits on a journey trying to solve stupid and often fatal insurance claims.
