+ 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 ...

Excellent movie, Excellent 3-Disc Set

+ Blond Bond - Includes Attitude and Bonus Emotions
+ Great item but...

Casino Royale is the 21st official James Bond movie and the first in the series to star Daniel Craig as James Bond. It's based off the Ian Fleming novel and essentially reboots the franchise with 007's first major case, to bring down the terrorist banker Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). Similar to ...

Another Gem from the guys that made Amores Perros and 21 Grams.

+ A suprisingly good movie

These guys make astounding films. It is amazing how everything links and is not forced at all. It is too bad that the writer and director had a falling out after this film came out. Hopefully they resolve their differences because they mae such incredible films. It shows that great films can be ...

Just a short review this time. Animation, sound, music & story just all come together. Had to watch it a second time within a few hours of the first viewing to really make sure it was as good as I thought it was the first time. This a.m. the smallest members of the family were over and gave it ...

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 ...
