.Indiana Jones Set (Widescreen) starring: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies directed by: Steven Spielberg January 06, 2004 How can one not love Indiana Jones? The guy is brilliant, tough, not afraid to get his hands dirty, he doesn't mind shooting the bad guy rather than just delivering him to justice and he's a hit with the ladies. I liked the Indiana Jones movies when I was a kid, but you really can't appreciate how good they are until you've had about a decade or so of real movie watching; I mean after giving up the cartoons. Each story just gets better; Raiders of the Lost Ark is great, but a little slow, The Temple of Doom is even better than Raiders and The Last Crusade - well, Sean Connery is in it, what more do I need to say? If you're even a bit of a movie buff and liked these films as a kid, buy them and watch them. When your kids are old enough to ...

.Pretty Woman 10th starring: Garry Marshall, Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Ralph Bellamy, Jason Alexander directed by: Garry Marshall January 13, 2004 Pretty Woman was an absolute delight and I loved it. I loved the way the two denied their attraction to each other and then falling in love in the end. It took Vivian to get Edward to relax and thats was part of the attraction to the movie.

.No Way to Treat a Lady starring: Rod Steiger, Lee Remick, George Segal, Eileen Heckart, Murray Hamilton directed by: Jack Smight August 25, 1998 A very perceptive bio-writer in one of the British film reference books (I forget which) noted that Lee Remick was basically quite badly used by Hollywood and that after such early career successes as ANATOMY OF A MURDER and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, she somehow wound up being relegated to "girlfriend" roles in mid-60s comedies (e.g. this one and other fluffier fare like THE WHEELER DEALERS) or was cast as the "wife" (THE DETECTIVE--well, OK, it's a wife role with a twist--she's a nymphomaniac--BUT it was basically a secondary role nonetheless). It was no wonder that by the 70s, she basically became a TV actress. At least that medium offered her meatier and,yes, starring roles. For years, she seemed locked in a rivalry with Liz Montgomery for the title of Queen of the ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on No Way to Treat a Lady |

.To Kill a Mockingbird starring: Gregory Peck, John Megna, Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Ruth White (II) directed by: Robert Mulligan March 01, 1992 Destruction of the innocent by the evils of the society Kuldip Kumar Garhwal "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but... sing their heart out for us. That's why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird." The movie 'To kill a mockingbird' depicts the destruction of the innocent by the evils of the society. Mockingbird is a symbol of innocence, characterized by Tom Robinson and Arthur Radley (Boo) where racial prejudice and ignorance are the symbol of evils in the society. Tom Robinson, an African-American is accused by Mayela, a white woman, of sexual molestation. Atticus, a prominent lawyer of the town Maycomb, has proved that Tom Robinson is innocent but still the "all-white jury" convicts Robinson of the guilt. Tom Robinson, a "quite humble respectable Negro", becomes the victim ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on To Kill a Mockingbird |

.International Velvet starring: Bryan Forbes, Tatum O'Neal, Christopher Plummer, Anthony Hopkins, Nanette Newman directed by: Bryan Forbes February 06, 2001 This movie had a lot going for it--Anthony Hopkins, a beautiful score and scenery, wonderful cross-country eventing scenes--but on other terms it falls quite flat. At some points Tatum O'Neal is acting very well; at other times she's not quite up to the material. Christopher Plummer and Nanette Newman are charming as John and Velvet--I particularly like John--but many of the other characters are just two-dimensional, like the student with the crush on Sarah, her riding partners, etc. Plus the romance late in the film just appears; she marries this guy after knowing him two weeks???? The quality of the film is uneven as well; sometimes it looks as if it were videotaped rather than filmed. Plus there's a big anachronism in the film: NATIONAL VELVET takes place in the 1920s! In the 1970s Velvet would have been an elderly woman ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on International Velvet |

.The Solid Gold Cadillac starring: Judy Holliday, Paul Douglas, Fred Clark, John Williams (II), Hiram Sherman directed by: Richard Quine October 17, 1995 Solid Gold Cadillac is a wonderful example of 1950's comedies. It was very well cast, not only Judy Holliday, but the rest of the supporting cast was great. The script was sharp and funny. It had funny, well-written characters. The film moves well. It's wholesome, clean fun with a nice message and a nice ending. It is one of the few films made by the wonderful Judy Holliday. Though typecast as the "dumb blonde" in most productions, such as this one, she brings an aura or something that makes the screen light up when she's on it like you're seeing something special. You are. When she's not on screen, you miss her. I don't know if it's her timing, or facial expressions, or what, but this woman really had it. I guess the trade off for her brief film career is that she really did not appear in any ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Solid Gold Cadillac |
