Little Miss Sunshine

starring: Abigail Breslin, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano, Alan Arkin, Toni Collette
directed by: Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton

Release Date December 19, 2006
Now this film is a bit on the odd ball side, it is funny, and I like it, I don't think it was Oscar worthy, but then I didn't think the Movie "Babe" ( the pig one ) was best Movie and it won, "Apollo 13" was much better for that yrs Oscar, but Hollywod didn't want Tom Hanks to have 3 in a row..politics...lol Anyway as I was saying it's a cute film but NOT for kids.....The "F" word is used a lot.

Glengarry Glen Ross

starring: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris
directed by: James Foley

Release Date November 19, 2002
It's a David Mamet movie: ENOUGH SAID.

Ok, I'll say a couple more things as if you didn't already know them. But if you don't know about this movie -- just see it is the point. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by the brilliant playwright-screenwriter David Mamet. Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey are all in it. They worked for low pay just to be in this movie. There were many other famous names that expressed interest. It's a story of real estate salesman that are desperate as hell to meet their quotas or else get fired. Mamet created a role for Baldwin just for the film version in which he plays a "motivator" brought in by the corporate office. Alec Baldwin is now ... Read More:

Wait Until Dark

starring: Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Jack Weston
directed by: Terence Young

Release Date August 05, 2003
While there are many excellent reviews for "Wait Until Dark," now that I own the DVD, I feel compelled to reiterate for others my deep appreciation and "thrill" for this absolutely wonderful film.

As a teenager I was never a fan of Audrey Hepburn--until I saw "Wait Until Dark!" Like many teenagers of the time, one of my favorite genres was "horror/thriller" movies like "Psycho" (1960), "The Birds" (1963), "Comedy of Terror" (1964), and "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). While "Jaws" (1975), "Alien" (1979), "The Shining" (1980), and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) would follow as audience favorites, for my money "Wait Until Dark" is the zenith of this genre. While I can remember other films, I will never forget "Wait Until Dark." It is literally the ... Read More:

The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming

starring: Carl Reiner, Eva Marie Saint, Alan Arkin, Brian Keith, Jonathan Winters
directed by: Norman Jewison

Release Date October 15, 2002
I bought a DVD of this classic for my mother. She'd never heard about it, and I couldn't imagine missing it! In fact, I became a forever fan of Alan Arkin because of it.

It's just as clever and funny as it was when it first came out. The cars are different, the clothes are different, even some of the boats are different -- but people are the same. They're suspicious and friendly, helpful and downright obstructive. All the same as it was then.

There's a ton of fun in this movie. If you haven't seen it, do so! If you have, laugh again. It's great comedy and appropriate for all ages.

Edward Scissorhands (Widescreen Anniversary Edition)

starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker
directed by: Tim Burton

Release Date September 05, 2000
This movie is visually amazing. It is genius how Tim Burton brings out light and dark so vividly on screen. The contrast in color depicts mood so perfectly. Johnny Depp shows us early on in his career why he is the Best actor alive today and continues up to today's standards. You look at his face and his eyes as he acts you believe hes a scared guy shut away from others all his life. You see the kindness in his heart by his gentle movements and facial expressions. And although Winona Ryder has blond or red hair shes still amazingly cute. She too give a great performance in her tone of voice. The best scene of contrast would be when you have her in a white dress with her light hair in the arms of Depp with his dark black hair and his black leather suit. Absolutely amazing. ... Read More:
