A brilliant melodrama
Possibly Welles' most underrated role. His performance is simply superb, as are the others in the cast. Also watch for Natalie Wood, astonishingly accomplished in this role that required that she perfect a foreign accent, and show a trememdous range of emotion at the age of what, perhaps 5 or 6? Claudette Colbert shows why she was one of the top female actresses of her era and beyond. Dialogue a ...

Bancroft & Poitier at their best - a Classic!
Was fortunate enough to come across The Slender Thread on a cable movie channel several years ago. This film is Anne Brancroft & Sidney Poitier are at their best - extrodinary performances! Poitier plays a Seattle college student volunteering at a crisis center. One night when he's at the clinic alone, a woman (Bancroft) calls needing to talk saying she's taken pills. While Poitier tries to get ...

Animal loose in the vents
This is a double premise that pays off in aces. It is about the arrival of an intergalactic alien species that threatens mankind and how our own technology can turn against us. It remains absolutely convincing in its apocalyptic scenario and its scientific presentation, especially in terms of life form structures and abiogensis, is decades ahead of its time. A satellite crashes to earth ...

Storytelling cannot get any better than this!
Without much knowledge of history behind the acclaimed author Truman Capote, I watched the film "Capote" sometime back, and was interested in knowing more about his childhood friend Harper Lee and the her Pulitzer prize willing novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" mentioned in the film. After reading the reviews, I realized that this novel is tagged as the book of the century in American literature by ...

I Love This Movie
My daughter and I watch A Bronx Tale at least twice a week. I have loved this movie every since I first saw it on AMC. Chazz Palaminteri and Robert De Niro both did great jobs, as well as all of the other actors. Robert De Niro plays a bus driver named Lorenzo Anello. He and his wife Rosini and their nine year-old son, Calogero are living in the bronx. Calogero is fascinated by mobster, Sonny, ...

Lest We Forget
The story portrayed is essential in the evolution of education in America. The sad fact is that the film is unavailable in DVD format. It needs to be available in DVD so that the current generation can experience the challenges that were faced in bringing civil rights to our classrooms. This is a superb film with acting that is at the top of the artistic scale. It is a film for all.

EUREKA!!!!!!
I have been looking for this movie FOREVER! I LOVE it! I literally split my side from laughter the first time I saw it which was over 15 years ago. I have not been able to find it sense. I go on the movie channels to see if anyone has it in their movie line-up but, NO ONE does! Now, I must admit, $58 is quite a chunk of change to pay for a VHS tape. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put this jewel of a ...

So, what if... SS-CSI : Berlin? (((lol)))
First off... I have never read the book, so no comparisons from me on that point. I first started watching this movie on HBO back in the early 90's, but was interupted by visiting friends and never got back to it. But the first half hour of what I did see stayed with me enough to want to search for this movie several years later. Viola... Amazon comes through AGAIN! The ...

Le Carre (David Cornwall) was in British Intelligence just after the war. He, if anyone, is superbly qualified to give insight into what happens in the secret world.

Exceptional Monk
Great series of DVDs! I love detective series and this one is excellent. Along with the wonderful detective stories it takes place in medieval times several years after the Crusades. Brother Cadfael, pronounced Cadfile, is played by a superb actor, Sir Derek Jacobi. Some may know him from the series "I, Claudius", or the movie "Dead Again" or any number of other roles. Cadfael is a monk in an ...

Extremely Satisfying and Inspiring Masterpiece
It isn't always easy to find the words to describe a great film. It is just that every ten years or so there is a film that lifts me up and forces me to take a deeper look at some facet of my life, in this case an understanding of value for my own personal freedom. The Shawshank Redemption feels like a deeply personal film for me. It gets under my skin and by its conclusion I want to well up ...

are you confused about this movie?
wow some people got the wrong idea about his movie! one person seems to think this movie was a horror movie which is just retarded. then going off on rossie o'donneled and the director because its a s&m type movie. take in to consideration that this movie was made in '94 so rossie wasn't out of the closet fully, and she wasn't a hated fatty yet. ok so just avert your eyes during her half naked ...

Perfect Pastiche
From the opening to the closing credits, filled with illustrations that originally accompanied Doyle's stories in the Strand, the details of the movie are painstakingly accurate when compared to those in the canon. This is one non-canonical Holmes story that exists in the same world as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The movie takes the liberty of assuming that all of Dr. Watson's ...

"I am Mrs. de Winter now. . ."
If you haven't read Daphne du Maurier's classic novel, the basis for this gorgeous adaptation by Hitchcock and David O. Selznick, you should - even if you've seen the movie twenty times, du Maurier's Gothic tale will offer up additional riches, not the least of them a more leisurely approach to the delicious revelations about the marriage of Maxim and Rebecca de Winter. That said, the film has ...
