Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

I heard bad things about this movie. I heard it wasn't well written and
that Jim Carrey was a bad actor in it etc. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT! It's
not true. This movie is absolutely amazing. Jim Carrey did an excellent
job at acting serious. He was 100% serious in this movie. He didn't try
any facial expressions or noises he was 100% serious. He did an
unforgettable ...

Narrated by Alec Baldwin, this documentary from 1995 describes the life
of Hollywood director William Wellman. Included are anecdotes by all
his stars (check out that the cast list... he sure worked with them
all!) As Wellman had died in 1975, the stories of his childhood, war
record, and Hollywood days are told by his family, friends, and the
stars of his films. Quite well don...

Why do I want to write the 234th comment on The Shawshank Redemption? I am
not sure - almost everything that could be possibly said about it has been
said. But like so many other people who wrote comments, I was and am
profoundly moved by this simple and eloquent depiction of hope and
friendship and redemption. The only other movie I have ever seen that effects me as strongly is ...

Badly neglected by both audiences and critics at the time of it's
original release, NUTS is a film that is ripe for reevaluation. Based
on Tom Toplor's 1981 courtroom play, NUTS is definitely a
dialogue-based film with little Hollywood flashiness. Though extremely
well-written (by Toplor, adapting his own work with Darryl Ponicsan and
Alvin Sargent) and sharply staged a...

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a strange clay animation, but this
takes the cake for all around strangeness. Mark Twain on a crazy,
science fiction hot air balloon with some of his characters on board,
and his goal is to collide with Halley's Comet. It's weirder than it
sounds, and makes even less sense too. The animation is what makes this
watchable, and the lack of...

On Sunday 7 December 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a
surprise attack on the US Pacific fleet in its moorings at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii. At the time, no state of war existed between the two nations. An
ingenious pre-emptive strike, as the Japanese 'hawks' saw it, was condemned
by the world as one of the greatest acts of treachery in modern
history."Tora! Tora! Tora!"...

No one I know under 40 had seen this film, though we all joked about it as
being a stereotypical "bad" film based on rumors. the title, and clips seen
here and there. Finally one weekend when I was working until 2:00 a.m. I
went home and there was a sequel on late night TV, during the 30 year Planet
of the Apes marathon. It made me curious about the original and I tracked
it ...

A fine, harshly realistic Don Siegel film from the late 60's with Richard
Widmark superb as Madigan. Steve Ihnat (from THE CHASE) is also a perfect
twisted and aggressive villain with able support from Harry Guardino. The
lovely Inger Stevens is touching in one of her last roles before her
untimely demise. A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Steve Ihnat (who died too young). Don...

Just recently I found a video store in New Haven County where fine old
westerns can be had on VHS. One of the ones I had long wanted to see
was "CHUKA" or Chuka: the Gunfighter, from 1967.The video transfer was high quality and so watching this movie on tape
was an enjoyable experience. Luciana Paluzzi is stunningly beautiful.Indeed, Chuka is something of a Hollywood fantasy but the to...

My perspective of this movie is that of a Navy veteran of World War II. My
ship landed Marines on Iwo Jima and I witnessed the flag over Mount
Suribachi. I take exception to some who do not consider this realistic
enough, but it was made in 1955 and for its time I thought the combat
scenes
were adequate. I read Leon Uris' book Battle Cry long before I saw the
movie. He was ...

"Them" is simply one of the most influential films of all time. This was
the first film to deal with our fears of the atomic age and the what if
scenario of what our continued testing and use of nuclear arms and how they
would affect mother nature. Within the next few years we were bombarded
with giant locusts, lizards and mutated humans of all sorts. In fact, this
film was ...

Turner Classic Movies rebroadcast "The Outriders" on May 21, 2005, with
some improvements. TCM added closed captions and also seems to have
transferred the film to a high definition master, so that the
Technicolor looks very smooth. The lack of film grain has a down side
during some scenes when print damage is apparent, such as the scratches
on the film negative that show up in...
