Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …

I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …

Pride and Prejudice, 1995, the mini-series, is my favorite adaptation of the Jane Austen’s classic novel. The movie is so well-done, I could go on for hours describing its merits. The script, casting, acting, costumes, music - everything is just excellent. Colin Firth makes a perfect Mr. Darcy, serious …

When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it fit my sense of humor - somewhat dark but also a little bit slapstick. All the film’s actors turn in excellent performances, but Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, and Steve Carell are especially strong in their respective roles …

This movie DVD, Police Woman - The Complete First Season is really lame. There is truly nothing at all that I could comment on which would give it even the tiniest bit of positiveness. It is inspired from the TV series which have up to 23 episodes …
