Newman uses a lifetime of acting experience to give a burnished, affecting
portrayal of Sully, a dysfunctional father and husband who is basically
well-intentioned but has never been able to connect with anyone or live up
to his responsibilities. His family arrives back in town and he begins the
long-delayed process of reconnecting with his son and grandsons.Like "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge...

This is truly a beautiful film.Well written and superbly acted it tugs at the heartstrings harder than
almost any other movie. The way it sets up an obvious story line and
then like a gentle roller-coaster suddenly takes you in another
direction is unequalled in this type of film.There are so many points of genuine sadness and whenever you think you
have guessed the story you sudde...

Driving Miss Daisy is an unusual film. Although it's really more of an
extended pair of entwined character portraits--spanning a quarter of a
century--it has all of the narrative focus and tightness of a more
traditionally structured mystery plot.The character portraits are of Daisy Werthan (Jessica Tandy) and Hoke
Colburn (Morgan Freeman). The film is set in suburbs of Atlanta and...

The original Cocoon was touching, sweet, optimistic, and heartfelt.
Most of the wonderful ensemble cast reunited for this sequel, but
sadly, something went awry.You learn nothing about what they've seen during five years spent with
the aliens . Further, it seems like everything the characters
accomplished the first time around was repealed in this story. Their
desire to joi...

This film does, as suggested, bear semlence to Cocoon, however it contains
a
far richer storyline and a generally superior level of acting. This film
while not specifically being a comedy tells a relativly amusing story of a
group of residents of an old building, targeted for demolition, visited by
alien 'devices' (the nature of which remain undisclosed throughout), who
he...

"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at
close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." - Dylan
ThomasThe senior characters of this modern day fable took this poem to heart.When we first meet the motley group, they are as many of us dread one
day becoming. Kept in a nursing home, days filled with vapid activities
like shuffleboard or mah-jo...

Many people criticize a film based on how close it relates and
carries
over from its novel or written form.However, knowing up front that this film is NOT the book and dares
to
actually go in different directions than the book, may allow for aviewer to be a bit more open about the point of the story and
not
necessarily the story itself.I adore the novel. When the film came ...

Seems silly to give a 10 to "The Birds" what can I give to "Notorius"
then? Or "Rear Window"? A 20? It doesn't matter, a 10 shouldn't mean
the best but one of the best. Best as in degrees of enjoyment, best as
in time of enjoyment, 10 for the kind of enjoyment. "The Birds" is a
ten for all of the above. Hitchcock's world varied consistently, it
depended very much on his travell...

Wonderful performances, first-rate script and direction (moving musical
score in key places, as well), plus a well-structured theme about moral
dilemmas of patriotic soldiers who realize they're obeying evil orders,
make
this a little-known gem.Did Rommel really participate in the plot to kill Hitler? Hitler sure
thought so. He had his favorite general poisoned; about that th...
