Add to these Todd Field's "In The Bedroom" which I finally saw this week. It's a meticulously constructed, suspenseful film where every line of dialog and shot ...             The Queen313 reviews Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen Miramax, 2007 Very Absorbing and Entertaining + The Queen + Casting is faultless As a Yank from across the pond, I only recently caught THE QUEEN and I'm disappointed I didn't see it sooner! This is one of those great films based on true incidents that constantly leaves you wondering, "Did that really happen?" The movie follows what happens following the death of ...             Monster (Special Edition)340 reviews Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci Sony Pictures, 2005 True Story of a Femal Serial Killer + sympathetic yet horrifying portrayal of a serial killer + Monster Revealed + Hits like a sledgehammer!!!             Secrets and Lies67 reviews Timothy Spall, Phyllis Logan 20th Century Fox, 2005 Quick ship - Perfect Condition + Kitchen-sink comedy/drama with heart + Beautiful Truth + Great Sunday afternoon movie + Slow, "heavy", but worthy...             A Beautiful Mind (Widescreen Awards Edition)665 reviews Paul Bettany, Patrick Blindauer Universal Home Video Russell Crowe got robbed!!! + A great love story and a great movie + A Beautiful Movie + A great insight into Mental Illness + A Piece of My Complex Mind             Million Dollar Baby (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)506 reviews Jay Baruchel, Marcus Chait Warner Home Video, 2005 The Characters are Great! + Could Not Look Away + Best picture I've seen in quite some time. Do not let anyone tell you that this is not a film about boxing as some critics have said - it is, or at least 85% of it is. But, whether you are boxing fan or not (and I am definitely not!) this is a great film, that is brilliantly acted and directed with the three main characters being ...             Dreamgirls (Widescreen Edition)289 reviews Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy DreamWorks, 2007 gorgeous women; scuzzy men + Jennifer Hudson deserved that Oscar!!! + Deserving of some honors; not of others "Dream Girls" is a brilliant, glitzy and thoroughly entertaining production. The women in the film sparkle with both talent, grace and beauty. The men, both entertainers and agents, are sleazy enough to want to make you take a good both after watching them. They are acquisitive, double-dealing ...             The Devil Wears Prada (Widescreen Edition)435 reviews Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway 20th Century Fox, 2006 Great movie! + Very enjoyable + But God Wears Christian Dior! Great movie. Really funny. As usual Meryl Streep plays her roll to the hilt, she's perfect! Lots of fun! Quick and easy purchase thanks to Amazon.com.             Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)416 reviews Jude Law, Nicole Kidman Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004 common people overwhelmed by war + Highly Recommended I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union soldiers advance into the breech ...             Away from Her81 reviews Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent Lions Gate, 2007 Gentle, Moving Film About Dementia + Away from Her - flawed but moving + sad but good movie 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 ...             Elizabeth (Spotlight Series)454 reviews Fanny Ardant, Daniel Craig Universal Studios, 2007 Excellent for Anglofiles + very pleased with the product + A Wow, Captivating and Mesmerizing Historical Movie + Elizabeth I, The Virgin Queen + great cinema             I'm Not There (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)96 reviews Christian Bale, David Cross Weinstein Company, 2008 This movie will endure I am not even a big bob dylan fan, but this film is so well told and creative that it's the best I think of the year 2007 - understood it's non linear and a bit confusing but perfect for those times (and maybe these).             L.A.

Brown, Ashley Buccille New Line Home Video, 2000 Home is where the heart is + Magnificent McTeer makes TUMBLEWEEDS What it is! + Tumbleweeds I love it when I chance upon stuff and it turns out I struck gold. That is exactly what happened when I walked into the video store and rented this movie. It's the story of a mother and daughter; Mary-Jo and Ava Walker (Janet McTeer & Kimberly J. Brown), a pair of rolling stones who move from state ...             Being Julia73 reviews Michael Gambon, Annette Bening Sony Pictures, 2005 An excellent performance + Annette Benning captures the mid-life crisis perfectly + Brilliant F-A-R-C-E Being Julia surfaces a deliciously complicated character, played to perfection by Annette Bening. The movie is based on a novel written in 1937 by W. Somerset Maugham: Theatre. Julia Lambert is the greatest actress in England; recognized and admired by art lovers. Her plays are scheduled for ...
