.Bartok the Magnificent starring: Hank Azaria, Kelsey Grammer, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Tim Curry directed by: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman October 16, 2001 Get this movie for kids and adults. It's very funny and charming. The animation has the quality of a feature, not a direct-to-video. The cast is first rate: Hank Azaria, Kelsey Grammer, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara. >>See More Reviews & Details on Bartok the Magnificent |

.Pippi Longstocking starring: Melissa Altro, Catherine O'Hara, Carole Pope, Dave Thomas, Gordon Pinsent directed by: Bill Giggie, Michael Schaack November 24, 1997 Chances are you've heard of Pippi Longstocking. The little red-haired girl that makes a habit of tossing around livestock, drawing on floors, washing the floor with her feet and so forth... Is this movie an accurate representation of her character? Is it even fun to watch? The answer? To some degree. The movie suffers from having too many songs, but many of them are frenetic enough to be easy to get used to and even like, though there are a couple of unlikable ones, I found the sound to be in general, good. My main problem with this movie is that it tamed the story for some reason. Most of Pippi's wild stories are completely gone, and she no longer manhandles anyone who isn't a farm animal. The characters themselves often ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Pippi Longstocking |

.Waiting for Guffman starring: Christopher Guest, Deborah Theaker, Michael Hitchcock, Scott Williamson, Larry Miller directed by: Christopher Guest July 28, 1998 I didn't enjoy "For Your Consideration" but I decided to give director Christopher Guest another chance by seeing "Waiting for Guffman." Guest plays as Corky a quirky stage director celebrates his small town's history by putting on a play featuring local residents. Having recruiting a fun cast of SCTV and SNL make this one of the most creative comedies I've seen. It has many funny moments, especially from Corky. At times, I'm sure what the actors had to go through was embarrassing, especially when Willard and O'Hara were doing their duet. A way that that was put into perspective for me was when our school put on a performance of `Bye Bye Birdie', and the person who played Gloria Rasputin, a glitzy dancer who is not very good, commented how embarrassing it was ...

.Home Fries starring: Drew Barrymore, Catherine O'Hara, Luke Wilson, Jake Busey, Shelley Duvall directed by: Dean Parisot April 03, 2001 Love it. Could see it again and again. Sweet romance, truly delirious black comedy, featuring the best and the worst of human aspirations. Two grown sons still trying to please their crazy-making, manipulative mother...chivalry and heroics in a burger joint...and real suspense amidst extreme characters and the loveliest subtleties in humor...Luke Wilson can do no wrong. So funny. >>See More Reviews & Details on Home Fries |

.Beetlejuice starring: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Annie McEnroe, Maurice Page, Hugo Stanger directed by: Tim Burton August 10, 2004 Ok I was never a big fan of Michael Keaton until they brought out this movie. He is absolutely brilliant in this along with the other stars in this ghostly comedy. Very strange in parts but that adds to our own unknow thinking of what actually happens when we die. Great music that you can sing a long to. So go out and buy this movie, you won't be disappointed! >>See More Reviews & Details on Beetlejuice |

.Heartburn starring: Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Jeff Daniels, Maureen Stapleton, Stockard Channing directed by: Mike Nichols January 25, 1995 I only watched this because I knew Kevin Spacey was going to be in it. He was excellent as the jewel thief and was only on for a few minutes. Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson were excellent in their roles. The best scene was when he got the pie in his face. >>See More Reviews & Details on Heartburn |

.After Hours - R.Arquette > starring: Martin Scorsese, Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Verna Bloom, Tommy Chong directed by: Martin Scorsese June 19, 1991 scorsese continues to expose the underside of subcultures most of us never see. this time it's the nocturnal bohemian world of 80's soho. the story is simple: uptown square wanders into downtown counterculture and unwittingly gets entangled in one bizzare epidsode after another. the film itself is occasionally funny, a few times even laugh out loud so, but it's more often irritating. comedy was never scorsese's strong suit. rent it. >>See More Reviews & Details on After Hours - R.Arquette > |
