Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …

Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …

101 Dalmations

Cars is a fantastic movie. My son watches it about every single day.
The characters (with voices by Owen Wilson and many other celebrities)are very well developed- from Lightning McQueen to Tow Mater- the animation by Pixar is excellent, as usual.
The story is about a car who is a hotshot …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …

The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …
