reviewed Jaws (1975 film). July 29, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition)
For several summers, my family and I vacationed on Martha's Vineyard where much of this film was shot (renamed Amity Island). You can imagine how eager we were to see the film when it was first released. …
reviewed Three O'Clock High (1987). July 27, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Unfortunately, this film was buried under a mountain of non-promotional advertising b/c of Director Philip Joanau's (sp?) refusal to change its name from THREE O'CLOCK HIGH to BELLS RING AT THREE. The …
reviewed The Life of David Gale (2003). July 23, 2003

The Life of David Gale (Widescreen Edition) (2003)
THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE is, I believe, a much better film than many fellow reviewers would indicate. Perhaps they are influenced by the reviews that came out in the media at the time of the film's theatrical …
reviewed Alias Betty (2002). July 17, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
I've always liked jigsaw puzzles. In my humble opinion, the universal appeal of the jigsaw puzzle is simple: it's the pleasant surprise at how all of the seemingly disjointed pieces fit nicely together …
reviewed Hit Me (1998). July 15, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
A reasonable attempt at noir, HIT ME -- photographed far too lustrously to be true noir -- packs a few punches after the first twenty minutes (questionable editing) but is hanging off the ropes by the …
reviewed The Train (1965). July 06, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Bookend this film alongside THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and SEVEN DAYS IN MAY and one comes to the easy realization that Director John Frankenheimer has captured three of the most riveting, enthrallings, …
reviewed Fulltime Killer - Special Edition (2001). June 24, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Bang! Bang! Bang!Thanks to the thrill of Hong Kong cinema, action movies still find a home outside of most US production companies, and that fact has rarely been so admirably demonstrated as it is here …
reviewed The Rookie (2002). June 01, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
The Rookie (Widescreen Edition) (2002)
Pros: cute, Dennis Quaid     Cons: cheesy beyond belief (and more)     The Bottom Line: I am drooling on the bottom line after seeing Dennis Quaid in a baseball …
reviewed Diamond Men (2002). May 31, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Warning: this is a character study. Those viewers interested in mindless explosions and frenetic car chase sequences need not apply."Diamond Men" is a fascination, with equal parts drawn from the themes …
reviewed The Scorpion King. May 25, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
The Scorpion King (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
It took me forever to finally rent this movie. I'm a huge fan of action and costume movies, and this one had both.  This is packed with quirky humor ( just like bits of it in the mummy) and …
reviewed Jaws (1975 film). May 25, 2003
Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition)
**** ½ Who hasnt heard of Jaws? From the legendary theme from John Williams to the image of a monstrous shark approaching from the depths, Jaws is a classic, a legend, and a masterpiece.In case you havent …
reviewed Dead Alive. May 23, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Dead Alive (Unrated) (Sp) (1993)
In a film like DEAD ALIVE, the plot is basically pointless. The only reason it exists is to add some humor to the bloody gore-fest that erupts and since it's discussed so often, it isn't necessary to …
reviewed The Wrong Guy (1997). May 22, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Comedy is predicated on its ability to be unpredictable, and THE WRONG GUY is largely the victim of easily guessed jokes waiting for you just around the corner. Still, Dave Foley and Jennifer Tilly manage …
reviewed Bruce Almighty (2003). May 21, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Bruce Almighty (Widescreen Edition) (2003)
Pros: Jim Carrey and Many Laughs     Cons: Anniston does not have a well-developed Role.     The Bottom Line: A very funny return to his roots for Jim Carrey and …
reviewed One Hour Photo (2002). May 20, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
One Hour Photo (Widescreen Edition) (2002)
I like Robin Williams. I really do. I've seen most of his pictures (even the bizarre ones) and know that he's not just a great comic actor, but a great dramatic actor, too. However, if Williams wants …
reviewed Beowulf (1999). May 10, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Beowulf (1999)
I love the poem Beowulf. I've read it several times in the original verse and it is one of the greatest epics in English literature. Several years ago when I heard they were making a movie of this classic …

Scooby-Doo (2002)
I grew up watching Scooby-Doo, once every weekday afternoon and once every Saturday morning. I used to love watching Scooby and the gang. When I heard a few years ago that they were planning on making …

SECRETARY has three things going for it.Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Maggie Gyllenhaal.First, Maggie Gyllenhaal's transformation from mental misfit into S&M master player is the stuff great performances …
reviewed Dracula: Prince of Darkness. April 30, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Hammer, bless their hearts, manage to take all that is cheesy in the Dracula idiom, concentrate it, and discard everything of any real interest. Bram Stoker's novel is an extremely subtle, complex and …

Blue's Clues - Story Time (1996)
My 4 year old was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism PDD-NOS, and has a speech delay. I checked this video out from the library, and my son LOVED it. He actually learned the "Hey Diddle Diddle" nursery …
reviewed Malibu's Most Wanted. April 15, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Malibu's Most Wanted (Widescreen Edition) (2003)
Pros: None     Cons: One joke premise, gets old very fast.     The Bottom Line: This is a serious Turkey and is not even worth watching on Video. Avoid it at all …
reviewed One Hour Photo (2002). March 21, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
One Hour Photo (Widescreen Edition) (2002)
This is a low-budget movie that very effectively uses that low budget to create an atmosphere of sterility and coldness. Robin Williams plays a man who has worked at a one-hour photo lab in a sterile, …
reviewed Insomnia (2002). March 21, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Insomnia (Widescreen Edition) (2002)
The initial, basic plot of INSOMNIA is fairly conventional. Al Pacino, a tired, grizzled cop, and his partner, come to Alaska to help solve a particularly heinous murder. They're chasing a psycho. Right …
reviewed Dreamcatcher (2003). March 19, 2003
posted in Movie Hype
Dreamcatcher (Widescreen Edition) (2003)
Pros: Interesting Concept.     Cons: Bad script, lines, and acting. Huge Plot Holes.     The Bottom Line: A complete and utter mess and a waste of two hours. The …
reviewed A Patch of Blue (1965). March 17, 2003

An amazing Sidney Poitier makes the most of his role as Gordon, a gentle spirit who comes to the aid of Selina (played by Elizabeth Hartman), a young blind woman who spends her days sitting in the park …
