A somewhat typical bit of filmmaking from this era. Obviously, It was first conceived into this world for the stage, but nonetheless a very good film from beginning to end. Peter O'Toole and Susannah York get to do their stage performance act for the silver screen and both do it effectively. There is very little in the... | Positive | null | null |
This movie is simply wonderful! It's got it all: laughter, sorrow, beauty, poetry, truth. All in a simple yet intense story--like life!

Somebody tell Hollywood you need a good story to make a good movie, and there are so many good stories out there... | Positive | null | null |

Its not Braveheart( thankfully),but it is fine entertainment with engaging characters and good acting all around.

Excellent political thriller, played much quieter and slower than other, higher ranking films in this genre.

Fay Grim is the continuation of a story begun ten years earlier with Hartley's Henry Fool. I haven't seen the earlier film, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Valentine is now one of my favorite slasher films. The death scenes are elaborate and the most of the acting is good.

You should not take what I am about to say lightly. I've seen many, many films and have reviewed a great deal of them, in print.

I have to say that sometimes "looks" are all that matters, just like Jeremy Clarkson from BBC has pointed out (not about our earth though, but he is right anyway).<br /><br />And when it comes to looks, this movie is such an unbelievably stunning beauty you will absolutely love what your eyes are about to see.<br /><br... | Positive | null | null |
This is an old fashioned, wonderfully fun children's movie with surely the most appealing novice witch ever.

Shot in the Heart is wonderful. It brilliantly illustrates the plight of Gary Gimore, a convicted murder who requested death. Shot in the Heart shows the ordeal that Gilmore's family, torn up by hatred, went through. This movie is an incredible psychological study, and is wonderfully depressing and uplifting. 10/10 | Positive | null | null |
Pleasant, diverting and charming. The best part is the swing numbers, especially the rendition of My Buddy, partial though it may have been. The acting was a bit over the top in areas but the mood set by Wilder is so pleasant it is hard not to enjoy this film. | Positive | null | null |

This rather poorly named western series won an Emmy for best syndicated program and is certainly an interesting series.

Well, for starters, this actually was THE most elegant Clausen film to this date.<br /><br />The man's always got a sense for characters with a slice of humor to them, but I think that he in this movie adds a dimension unparrallel to anything he's made earlier.

This is a better adaptation of the book than the one with Paltrow (although I liked that one, too).

Tess of the Storm Country was a Mary Pickford vehicle I had intended to get for some time.
