2000 - DirectorRobert FloreyStarsPeter LorreEvelyn KeyesDon BeddoeA disfigured watch-maker with a grudge against society embarks on a life of crime.The dialogue is a bit on the creaky side but, Peter Lorre is brilliant in this drama of a man's conflict between his mind and his soul. After the disaster, this viewer hurt for Lorre as he found refuge in the criminal elements of life.

A perfect example how gullible people can be and the people who want to sway them. Patricia Neal was superb.

2010 T's- ** - DirectorPaul LynchStarsLance HenriksenShannon TweedBruce PayneSharon Bell is back, this time she must stop a terrorist plot to smuggle Nazi nerve gas."Face The Evil" Really, really, really bad and sadistic. Though Playmate
Tweed did try to act (not very well) and not depend on taking off her clothes.

2001 - StarsShelley DuvallJohn AchornPatrick DeSantisA miscellany of numerous classic fairy tales' adaptations.A very creative series with different directors, actors and design that make each episode (story) uniquely its own.

1999 - DirectorDoug LimanStarsNaomi WattsSean PennSonya DavisonCIA operative Valerie Plame discovers her identity is allegedly leaked by the government as payback for an op-ed article her husband wrote criticizing the Bush administration.If people ask you who is a true American hero. Point to this movie and say Joe Wilson. Depressing in the fact of what people allow, but heartening in the fact that some are still willing to say No.

mystery. **- mine

2003 - DirectorAlan ParkerStarsEddie BarthIrene CaraLee CurreriFour teenagers must prove their mettle as they begin their journey at the New York High School of Performing Arts.

2003 - DirectorSidney LumetStarsSean ConneryDustin HoffmanMatthew BroderickAn ex professor offers Adam $1,000,000 to "get" some plasma from a high tech company's lab. Adam asks his criminal grandpa for help. Can they convince Adam's now honest dad to join?Terrible message in this movie. Somehow we're suppose to believe the law abiding, take care of family first, character is in the wrong & the selfish, stupid crooks are the real way to be in life.

2008 T's-*1/2 - DirectorRichard PearceStarsRobert DuvallJames Earl JonesMichael BeachWhen an old woman dies, she leaves a note for her apparent son (Robert Duvall) which tells him that his biological mother died giving birth to him. She begs him to make peace with his half-brother (James Earl Jones) living in Chicago.A warm story.

2000 - DirectorCraig R. BaxleyStarsNeil Patrick HarrisJohnny GaleckiLinda KelseyA teenage boy finds his mother and father murdered in their home but as the story goes on he reveals he knows more than he is letting on.Weak, one dimensional TV movie with characters acting very unbelievable and situations not being very plausible. And no way do I believe that the police behaved in such a manner.

2000 - DirectorDavid YatesStarsEddie RedmayneKatherine WaterstonAlison SudolIn 1926, magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York during his worldwide tour to research and rescue magical creatures as something mysterious leaves trails of destruction in the city, threatening to expose the wizarding world.Pleasant enough but not fully fleshed out. Curious how the sequel will be.

In response, Newt Scamander's former professor, Albus Dumbledore, seeks his help to stop him.I think my problem with this movie is I'm viewing it as a single, totally independent storyline and not a piece of the Potter universe. So, I was kind of disappointed when I was expecting it to go one way, and it went another.
mine - ** T's ** 2019 - DirectorTim StoryStarsIoan GruffuddMichael ChiklisChris EvansA group of astronauts gain superpowers after a cosmic radiation exposure and must use them to oppose the plans of their enemy, Doctor Victor Von Doom.Much better than I was first giving credit to. Characters were a bit weak. Dr. Doom was not right but, still a fun movie.

2005 T's- ** - DirectorWes AndersonStarsGeorge ClooneyMeryl StreepBill MurrayAn urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers' retaliation.It took a little bit to get going, but quite fun, neverless.
Mine - **1/2 T's - *** 2012 - DirectorKaige ChenStarsLeslie CheungFengyi ZhangGong LiTwo boys meet at an opera training school in Peking in 1924. Their resulting friendship will span nearly 70 years and endure some of the most troublesome times in China's history.Multidimensional characters really carry this engrossing story, especially the lead actor. Never before has a character had me curious about what truly made him click. Intriguing puzzle, to be sure.
mine - *** T's - ** 2013 - DirectorDavid SutherlandStarsDarrel BuschkoetterJuanita Buschkoetter"The Farmer's Wife" takes us deep inside the world of Juanita and Darrel Buschkoetter, a remarkable young Nebraska farm couple, to tell a compelling love story. It follows the Buschkoetters over three years as they face seemingly insurmountable economic hardship, only to confront an even greater challenge: repairing their damaged marriage. What emerges is an epic story of faith, perseverance, and triumph, and an indelible portrait of a real American family's struggle to hold onto their dreams, and to each other.Dull & you never got involved with the couple.
Some pretty Nebraska sunsets though.
mine - *1/2 T's - * 2012 - DirectorJack CuttingStarsBilly BletcherMelvin J. GibbyFlorence GillThe farm comes to life, to various classical tunes. The high point is a rooster serenading a chicken, with all the animals joining in. But then comes the sound that's even more welcome to the animals: the farmer and his wife with food (the only actual words spoken).Didn't exactly sound like a symphony but, it was nicely drawn.
mine - **1/2 T's - n/a 2021 - DirectorDon MedfordStarsVictor JoryDon HanmerA botanist breeding a monstrous carnivorous plant spars with his assistant, in the isolation and oppressive heat of their research compound in a remote sector of the Amazon. Dr. Alden's gleeful obsession with his hybrid plant buoys him along, until his aide Merriman's boredom inspires a means to play on the older man's weak heart and narrow mind.First thought: ' Little Shop of Horrors', but never as clever. Though, I did become in engaged to the drama between the characters.
mine - **1/2 T's - n/a 2013 - DirectorVincente MinnelliStarsSpencer TracyJoan BennettElizabeth TaylorThe father of a young woman deals with the emotional pain of her getting married, along with the financial and organizational trouble of arranging the wedding.It was a fun, cute movie. Better than the remake.

2007 - DirectorFabrizio CostaStarsJoaquim de AlmeidaCatarina FurtadoDiogo InfanteFatima è uno sperduto villaggio portoghese. Qui, il 13 maggio del 1917 tre bambini, tre pastori, vedono in cielo una bellissima "Signora" che li invita a pregare e a fare ritorno nello stesso luogo ogni giorno 13 dei sei mesi successivi. Ritenuti bugiardi e visionari da tutti, persino dai loro stessi genitori, i bambini subiscono intimidazioni e minacce, ma la loro fede nella "Signora" alla fine prevale. Su questa vicenda, ben nota a tutti i cristiani e non, si innesta la storia d'amore tra una cantante di fado e un giovane di buona famiglia.Since only finding this movie online in Spanish I thought - "What the hey, I knew the story, I'll be able to follow along." Poor assumption on my part. The filmmakers decided to put in a fictional love story in the middle, and though the effects of the dancing sun were better than the earlier version, the reaction and follow up left me wanting.

They both share the same acerbic wit and a love of books, especially "An Imperial Affliction", so they embark on a journey to visit an author in Amsterdam.All involved do a good job weaving humor & heartbreak throughout the movie. Well done.
