Epics
Stories told on a grand scale that take the characters and the viewers on a physical, spiritual and emotional journey.
An Education Review  "So what you're telling me is to be bored & then bored & finally bored again but this time for the rest of my life." A 17-year-old girl faces the world from both sides at once while she simultaneously prepares for Oxford and gets caught in the swirl of glamorous London nights and Paris mornings. Coming of Age  Subtopic - Subject Journey. Coming of Age--to come of age sometimes requires a road journey but always requires a journey of heart and mind. High School  Subtopic - Subject Journey. High School is surely a dramatic time in life and some fine dramas that are family friendly tell all about the journey from school kid to high school graduate. Little Miss Sunshine Review  A normal family with tendencies to various dysfunctions takes a road trip to Redondo Beach, CA for their youngest daughter in big oversized plastic rimmed glasses, the alternate finalist in the Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant, providing a vehicle for understanding beauty—but a poor vehicle for driving. Millions Movie Review  A bereaved family, a bank robbery, a bag of “millions” and a conversion to the Euro set up a delightful family film (be cautious of the really scary bad guy) about how two boys and their dad handle the unexpected. Rain Man Movie Review  Academy Award level performances bring the Rain Man home with piquancy and sincerity. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise deliver dynamite performances. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Review  We see life more clearly in retrospect, but when you’re born at the wrong end of life, which way is retrospect? Benjamin Button leaves the world with less experience than he brought into it. He becomes the incarnation of the “second childhood.” An implausible story is brilliantly made believable. The Visitor Movie Review  1-2-3 trumps 1-2-3-4. African drums trump classical piano in this sincere movie of the hope of life and renewal centered around political asylum, the CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Service), and bitter disappoint. Not all disappointments can be overcome. Don’t look for a neat ending. Toe to Toe Movie Review  A difficult film to review, Toe to Toe tells a story of two girl Lacrosse players who find and lose friendship then find their new places in life.
